The Clarity of the Original Mind | Ajahn Anan | 21 Aug 2021 [Recorded in 2015]

When dye is mixed with clear water, it takes on that colour. But whenever we separate the two out, then the water returns to its original clarity. So too, our original mind is clean and pure, but when it gets mixed with defilement, it becomes dirty and dark. But the defilements and the mind are two separate things, and so it is possible to extract them and realise this state of inner purity and clarity. ❂ JOIN US DAILY ON ZOOM ❂ Join Ajahn Anan and the Wat Marp Jan Community online for daily chanting, meditation, and a Dhamma talk.
