Listen "Consistent Practice & How to Prevent Unwholesome Mindstates | Ajahn Dhammasiha | Buddhism"
Episode Synopsis
Ajahn Dhammasiha responds to two closely related questions from the audience:
1.
We may experience highs and lows in our meditation practice. Sometimes it even seems like we're suddenly back to zero, almost like riding a roller coaster.
How can we make our Dhamma practice more consistant?
2.
How can we prevent unwholesome mindstates from arising?
This is actually the first of 4 factors of Right Effort (sammā-vāyāma), number six in the Noble Eightfold Path: Rather than trying to abandon unwholesome states once they have come up, it's better to 'nip them in the bud', as they say, by eliminating the conditions that potentially cause defilements to arise in the first place.
