Luang Por Sucitto was the abbot of Cittaviveka – Chithurst Buddhist Monastery from 1992 until 2014. He was born in London and went forth as a bhikkhu in Thailand in March 1976. Luang Por Sucitto returned to Britain in 1978 and took up training under Luang Por Sumedho at the Hampstead Buddhist Vihara. In 1979 he was one of the small group of monks, led by Luang Por Sumedho, who established Cittaviveka – Chithurst Buddhist Monastery.

In 1981 he was sent up to Northumberland to set up a small monastery in Harnham, which subsequently became Aruna Ratanagiri Monastery. In 1984 he accompanied Luang Por Sumedho in establishing Amaravati Buddhist Monastery in Hertfordshire. In 1992 he was appointed abbot of Cittaviveka. On October 26, 2014, he resigned the post, but has continued teaching as before.

Luang Por Sucitto's main work has been in teaching, editing and writing, although he was also largely responsible for the creation of the protocols and standards that flesh out the Ten Precept training of the Sīladharā (nuns) Order.

‘Pelos teus próprios pés’. Pense nisto: estabilidade, confiança, dignidade pura e simples. A frase é utilizada como uma metáfora, mas, na verdade, é mais do que isso.

‘Pelos teus próprios pés’. Pense nisto: estabilidade, confiança, dignidade pura e simples. A frase é utilizada como uma metáfora, mas, na verdade, é mais do que isso. Para quem queira conseguir fazer uma pausa de uma mente dispersa e de humores stressantes, pode ser tão fácil como literalmente deixar-se estar firme nos seus próprios pés. Se, por outro lado, gostaria de meditar, mas sente-se desafiado pela ideia de ficar sentado, quieto, sem fazer nada por mais de cinco minutos… ficar de pé pode ser uma forma razoável de iniciar o caminho para o seu equilíbrio interior. Vai ajudá-lo a sentir-se enraizado. E, se já gosta de meditar, ficar de pé pode ser uma forma de aliviar algum desconforto físico e ampliar a sua prática de uma forma inesperada, mas eficaz.

"Embora o objetivo da meditação seja cultivar a mente (e o coração), utiliza o corpo como referencial. Para isso, colocamos a nossa atenção na experienciação do nosso corpo e das nossas sensações e ‘escutamos o nosso interior’. Chamamos a isto estar consciente, numa atenção não reativa, que permite estabilizar as energias, os estados de espírito e os processos mentais que surgem no nosso dia-a-dia. Apoiados nesta atenção, podemos aprender a sentir estes processos surgirem e a deixá-los passar, em vez de nos deixarmos enredar por eles. Surge um espaço ‘sem stress’ no nosso coração."

TO GET YOU ON TRACK...

It may be that you don’t read prefaces – if so, go ahead and dip in. But if you’re interested, this introduction explains the wrap that binds the ensuing passages together.

In Buddhist culture, one celebrates one’s birthday by making offerings and sharing the good kamma of such offering with one’s parents or departed relatives. So, as I was coming up to my 75th birthday, I was moved to consider what would be a suitable offering.

All I have to offer are my explanations of Buddhist teaching and practice; something I’ve been doing for a number of years now. But I rather like those collections of sayings and brief quotes that one can read in a few minutes and yet leave a point for recollection through the day. So I thought I would like to present such a collection.

Dieses Buch nahm seinen Anfang als ein Essay, mit dem Ziel, die Praxis der Achtsamkeit auf den Atem (ānāpānasati) um einige Hinweise zu ergänzen. Ich wollte meine Aussagen kurz und bündig auf den Punkt bringen, in dem Bewusstsein, dass es bereits zahlreiche Meditationshandbücher gibt, ebenso wie etliche gründliche Darstellungen zur Theorie und Praxis der Achtsamkeit auf den Atem. Doch angesichts der Tatsache, dass diese Meditation von so entscheidender Bedeutung ist, erscheint es meines Erachtens hilfreich, hier auch frische Ansätze einzubringen. Und ich habe festgestellt, dass die Art und Weise, wie ich die Achtsamkeit auf den Atem verstehe und an sie herangehe, sich zwar von der Methode, die man mir ursprünglich beibrachte, etwas unterscheidet, dass sie sich aber dennoch mit ihrer ursprünglichen Sutta-Darstellung im Einklang befindet.

Elles peuvent être mises en pratique dans toutes sortes de situations – en moins de temps qu’il ne faut pour boire une tasse de thé. Si vous avez une vie très chargée, ce guide pourrait vous aider à sortir du rythme frénétique du quotidien et vous donner un peu d’air. Ces suggestions pourraient aussi vous montrer un chemin pour méditer, mais ce sera à vous de voir, avec l’aide d’autres manuels.

A GUIDE TO STANDING MEDITATION

As standing is something that we do, why not do it with full awareness? After all, standing was one of the positions that the Buddha recommended as a proper basis for mindfulness. Wisely cultivated, it takes strain out of the body, encourages balance and inner stability – and is a support for full liberation.

In this guide, Ajahn Sucitto adds practical details to the establishment and development of this practice. It is for beginners and experienced meditators alike.

‘Buddha-Natur, Menschen-Natur‘ ist ein Buch über unsere Umwelt und die Auswirkungen, die der Buddhismus auf diese gehabt hat und weiterhin haben kann. Die Idee, ein solches Buch zu schreiben, entstand anlässlich der Teilnahme an einer Vipassana-LehrendenKonferenz im Jahr 2013 im Meditations-Zentrum Spirit Rock in Kalifornien. Zu dieser Konferenz gehörte auch ein aufrüttelnder Vortrag über den Klimawandel und seine aktuellen und vorhergesagten Auswirkungen. Wir Lehrenden blieben dann mit der Frage zurück: Da wir in der Lage sind, andere anzusprechen, gibt es etwas, was wir tun können, um das Bewusstsein dieser drohenden Katastrophe bei unseren Meditierenden zu fördern? Gibt es irgendeine Möglichkeit, wie wir dazu beitragen können, den zukünftigen Menschen den Vorteil einer gesunden Umwelt zu ermöglichen? Einige von uns haben sich dazu verpflichtet so zu lehren, dass die Ausweitung der ethischen Grundsätze auch zur Verantwortung für die Erde ermutigen soll. Zusätzlich dazu kam ich zum Schluss, dass das Schreiben eines Buches über das Thema eine größere Reichweite bieten würde. Ich hatte mich bereits 1989, im Zusammenhang mit der Broschüre ‘Buddha-Natur‘, die ich für die Interreligiöse Versammlung über Religion und Umwelt in Canterbury, England, produziert hatte, mit Umweltthemen beschäftigt. Deshalb schien es zuerst, wie wenn lediglich eine Aktualisierung des vorhandenen Materials notwendig sei. Tatsächlich aber brauchte es viel mehr als das, denn selbst die begrenzten Forschungen, die ich durchgeführt hatte, offenbarten eine Weltanschauung, welche sowohl eine Eskalation der Umweltzerstörung unterstützte, als auch unempfindlich gegen globale Proteste und wissenschaftliche Beweise zu sein schien.

This book began as an essay to add some guiding notes to the practice of mindfulness of breathing (ānāpānasati). The intention was to be concise, with the understanding that plenty of meditation manuals are available, as are several thorough expositions of the theory and practice of mindfulness of breathing. However, as this meditation is so crucial, it seems useful to contribute any fresh approaches. And I have noticed that the way I understand and approach mindfulness of breathing is both somewhat different from what I was originally taught, and yet can fit the original sutta presentation.
