Dear friends, please join Lena, Julie and Adam this Thursday as we continue our month of reflection on observing the Mind in the Mind as taught in the Satipatthana sutra. There will be a short sharing followed by twenty minutes in small dharma sharing groups to discuss the topic; "Can I notice when my mind is avoiding what is happening when I don’t want something that is?’
‘What conditions/circumstances opened my mind so I could embrace what is?" This is followed by a guided meditation.

We look forward to sitting and breathing and sharing together as a sangha, Thursday 8pm AEST.

“Bhikkhus, how does a practitioner remain established in the observation of the mind in the mind?

“When his mind is desiring, the practitioner is aware, ‘My mind is desiring.’ When his mind is not desiring, he is aware, ‘My mind is not desiring.’ He is aware in the same way concerning a hating mind, a confused mind, a collected mind, a dispersed mind, an expansive mind, a narrow mind, the highest mind, and a concentrated and liberated mind.

This is how the practitioner remains established in the observation of the mind in the mind, observation of the mind from within or from without, or observation of the mind both from within and from without. He remains established in the observation of the process of coming-to-be in the mind or the process of dissolution in the mind or both in the process of coming-to-be and the process of dissolution. Or he is mindful of the fact, ‘There is mind here,’ until understanding and full awareness come about. He remains established in the observation, free, not caught in any worldly consideration. This is how to practice observation of the mind in the mind, O bhikkhus.”
