I can’t fix it

16/02/2013 · by Andrew White | in self awareness | tagged anxiety, awareness, freedom, life content, meditation, mindfulness, stress | 3 Comments

Sometimes it can seem like that; we look at our lives and we instinctively want to fix, repair or change it around to make it all better. In our society there are a number of industry sectors that profit from just this desire. They try to sell us self help solutions to change your life […]

A perfect calm

18/01/2013 · by Andrew White | in Nibbana | tagged Ajahn Chah, freedom, freedom of thought, heresy, liberation, present era | Leave a comment

We have a chance in this life, don’t we? A chance for freedom, for understanding to awaken, a chance to fully realise truth. It’s worth spending a moment to reflect on that. It’s said that 80% of the resources of the world are held by just 20% of us. So do you feel you might […]

The freedom to give

04/01/2013 · by Andrew White | in Uncategorized | tagged dana, freedom, Giving, open heart, ownership, possessions | Leave a comment

Last November I sat in the Dhamma hall at Harnham Buddhist Monastery and heard Ajahn Sucitto give a talk all about dana (giving). I was inspired by the openness of heart he spoke of and the importance of this aspect of our spiritual practice and so I’ve been meaning to write something on this for […]

Escaping the anthill mentality

07/12/2012 · by Andrew White | in Uncategorized | tagged anthill, flying, freedom, imagination, perspective, space, time | Leave a comment

There are different ways to look at life, so many different perspectives we can take. But we so often get trapped into just one – we focus all our attention on the content of our life, re-visiting our memories or living imagined future events over and over. It can become a constant treadmill of inner […]

On suffering

22/11/2012 · by Andrew White | in Uncategorized | tagged buddhism, freedom, personal self, suffering | Leave a comment

Today I sat with a friend, having lunch and chatting. She’s a very spiritual person and as our conversation trundled along it moved into deeper and more spiritual matters as has happened before. She knows I attend a local Buddhist monastery and so she asked me, ‘What do Buddhists do to alleviate suffering in the […]

Perfect peace

17/11/2012 · by Andrew White | in Nibbana | tagged freedom, nibbana, peace, realisation, truth | Leave a comment

Does the idea of perfect inner peace sound too good to be true? Can you even believe that you could have perfect inner peace? Perhaps you believe that some far off spiritual teacher might have found it but it’s not accesible to you. Do you recognise that such thoughts are self-limiting…? You’re going to need […]

Find a little space… it’s right here

22/10/2012 · by Andrew White | in Uncategorized | tagged awareness, freedom, present, space | Leave a comment

I wonder how many of us would class ourselves as just ‘getting by’. We’re not really happy, but we have good days and some less good ones. But real happiness seems to be out of reach. Maybe we long for that perfect career or maybe retirement. Maybe we want more money or a role in […]

Seeking perfection

14/10/2012 · by Andrew White | in Nibbana | tagged Boredom, freedom, liberation, mindfulness, nibbana, path, perfection, spiritual | Leave a comment

Spiritual paths are demanding aren’t they? They’re almost impossible to stick to all of the time. They seem to demand perfection and while we might have the notion that advice and guidelines we strive to follow are in some way good for us, another deeper part of our nature wants to rebel and kick off […]
