Intuitive Awareness 1

Editor’s Preface

This book is compiled from talks given mostly in 2001

by Ajahn Sumedho; they convey an intuitive

understanding of the Buddha’s teaching which has

arisen from over 35 years of practice as a Buddhist

monk.

This approach starts with accepting ourselves as we

are, not as some ideal of whom we think we should

be. By doing this a relaxation can take place that

creates space for insight to arise. For some people

this space arises as the sound of silence, or simply a

quiet or empty mind. However it manifests, this points

to the unconditioned; beyond body and mind objects.

From this place of spaciousness, social and personal

conditioning can be investigated or reflected upon,

thus freeing the heart from the delusion of identifying

with the personality. This is not a process of rejecting

ourselves or of considering certain thoughts and

feelings as wrong, but of learning to be a silent

witness to all that arises without attaching to that

experience or rejecting it.

In essence it’s about trust, accepting what arises in

experience as “the way it is” or, as Ajahn Sumedho

2 Intuitive Awareness

likes to say a lot, “welcoming the suffering”. It is about

listening, being receptive to and fully including

everything.

It may seem confusing that the reflections in this

volume sometimes contradict each other, one talk

suggesting that “suffering should be understood” and

then the next cautioning against using the word

“should”. But what can be noticed is the all-

encompassing point behind the confusion and

contradictions. This is the point to trust: mindfulness.

So the refuge is not in a teacher or scriptures but in

the heart’s own purity, the point that never changes,

which has no views and opinions and is not affected

by anything and yet is fully alive, responsive,

spontaneous and compassionate – fully here and

now.

This book has been transcribed, edited and designed

by various Sangha members and lay people. The

editor would like to thank them very much for the hours

of work put into this. Whilst the talks have been edited

to aid clarity, they may not be grammatically flawless.

This is to keep the text as close as possible to Ajahn

Sumedho’s manner of speaking

. Any misunderstandings

or errors arising from this rest with the editor.

This

book is offered as a sharing from the various people

who have benefited from Ajahn Sumedho’s teachings,

his great devotion to dhamma and his encouragement.

May whatever merit that arises from this book be

dedicated to the benefit of all sentient beings.
