Ajahn Sumedho Quotes

• Of course we can always imagine more perfect conditions, how it should be ideally, how everyone should behave. But it is not our task to create an ideal. It's our task to see how it is, and to learn from the world as it is. For the awakening of the heart, conditions are always good enough.

• La mente vacía -la mente pura- no es una tierra en blanco, cero, donde no sientes ni te importa nada. Es una refulgencia de la mente. Es una luminosidad que es verdaderamente sensible y aceptante. Es la capacidad de aceptar la vida tal y como es. Cuando aceptamos la vida tal como es, podemos responder adecuadamente a la forma en que la experimentamos, en lugar de reaccionar por miedo y aversión.

• The goal lies away from the sensual world. It is not a rejection of the sensual world, but understanding it so well that we no longer seek it as an end in itself. We no longer expect the sensory world to satisfy us. We no longer demand that sensory consciousness be anything other than an existing condition that we can use skillfully according to time and place.
