Teaching #55: Cultivating Cessation in Daily Life
Ajahn Chah used to say, “We focus on the here and now dharma.” He did not separate daily life from extraordinary experience. His instruction was to simply inquire: How can you bring about cessation of clinging at this moment?
Chapter 15, Pg 171
For your reflection: To practice cessation moment-to-moment in daily life, when your mind is not engaged in a specific task, train it to automatically rest in awareness of breath and body sensations. You will begin to notice that every breath and sensation ceases and gradually the realization emerges: It is really true—everything that arises disappears!
