Listen "3 Things Meditators Must Pay Attention To | Ajahn Dhammasiha | SUTTA EXPLORATION AN 3s #103"
Episode Synopsis
In this sutta, the Buddha compares the work of a goldsmith to the work of a meditator trying to purify their mind.
Both have to pay attention to 3 qualities at the appropriate time, without overdoing any of them:
Calming the mind with samādhi / cooling the gold in the smelter
Arousing the mind with energetic effort / heating the gold
Looking on with equanimity / observing the gold with equanimity
