Ajahn Nyaniko talks about saddha, which is a Pali word that can be translated as faith or trust. He discusses how we can develop it and use it to overcome doubt in our practice. He talks about having the ability to drop things in our life if they no longer serve us, even when we’ve been holding onto them for a long time. He also points out that practice that cultivates a sense of well-being and trends upward over time is better than a meditation practice that seeks out peak experiences. He also emphasizes the value of being at a monastery and how it provides opportunities to cultivate virtue. This talk was offered on February 22, 2025 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.
