A Place of Non-Abiding — Ajahn Vajiro — 2025-05-02

A Dhamma talk given through Zoom on 2025-05-02 by Ajahn Vajiro at Sumedharama Forest Monastery in Ericeira, Portugal. For more Dhamma talks, please visit sumedharama.pt.Q&A:1. Contemplation of death is always a theme that is uplifting for me. However for my ageing parents, talking about death is a big taboo. I don't know how to help them with this reflection, especially when I think it will be of great value for them to reflect on this.2. Thank you so much. Do you think this perspective on the future might have helped those boys that were in a cave for over two weeks in Thailand?3. The future is unknown or doesn't exist at all, is a projection by wanting the reality of being something different than it is? Is it possible to think of future as uncertain, unknown without fear then?4. When we have an intact mind, we have the tendency to judge people and everything in the world. But it is not suggested to have these judgements?5. In the context of “nobody going anywhere” and “nothing to be, nothing to do nothing to have” as you stated in various ways, please could you say something about right effort. What is left for us to do?! You very eloquently outlined all the ways in which a practitioner would incline towards not wishing to enhance on how things are, but if implemented literally we would all just stay in bed.
