Luang Por Liem Ṭhitadhammo on knowing the mind and the changing nature of thoughts and impressions, given in Thai at Abhayagiri on 1 July 2018. An English summary follows from 38:58.
Luang Por Liem gives this talk in Thai during the reception hall inauguration weekend at Abhayagiri, and an English summary by a translator follows from 38:58. The summary opens with the occasion: a communal building, made possible by kindness, that he calls a treasure for practice.
The summary covers his main points: the body as raw material that is limited and declining, mental energy that can help or harm like electricity, and the need to look behind the winds of thought to the clear, bright mind. He places liking and disliking at the sense doors, calls the delight in worldly decoration delusion, and points to santi, a peace beyond good and bad. He ends by asking those present to support one another in practice.
