Cut down the forest of desire,
not the forest of trees.
From the forest of desire
come danger & fear.
Having cut down this forest
& its underbrush, monks,
be deforested.
For as long as the least
bit of underbrush
of a man for women
is not cleared away,
the heart is fixated
like a suckling calf
on its mother.
Crush
your sense of self-allure
like an autumn lily
in the hand.
Nurture only the path to peace
–Unbinding–
as taught by the One Well Gone.

‘Here I’ll stay for the rains.
Here, for the summer & winter.’
So imagines the fool,
unaware of obstructions.
That drunk-on-his-sons-&-cattle man,
all tangled up in the mind:
death sweeps him away–
as a great flood,
a village asleep.
There are
no sons
to give shelter,
no father,
no family
for one seized by the Ender,
no shelter among kin.
Realizing
this force of reasoning,
the wise man, restrained by virtue,
Should make the path pure
–right away–
that goes all the way to Unbinding.

Dependent Origination and Emptiness
By Leigh Brasington
November 2021, 228 pp., free, eBook
Leigh Brasington, began meditating in 1985 and was a senior student of the Theravada teacher Ven. Ayya Khema (1923–1997). He regularly teaches retreats on the jhanas, dependent origination, and insight meditation, and is the author of Right Concentration: A Practical Guide to the Jhanas.
Dependent origination, writes Leigh Brasington in Dependent Origination and Emptiness, was the Buddha’s best attempt to describe what happened on the night of his enlightenment. But the great teacher’s list of twelve links, which the British scholar Caroline Rhys Davids called a “mysterious old rune,” can be confounding, to say the least.
Dependent origination is so much richer than a linear list that needs to be memorized, says Brasington, especially when you can grasp the holographic nature of everything in the universe happening based on everything else happening.

He wants his own ease
by giving others dis-ease.
Intertwined in the inter-

from hostility
he’s not set free.

In those who
reject what should,
& do what shouldn’t be done
–heedless, insolent–
effluents grow.
But for those who
are well-applied, constantly,
to mindfulness immersed in the body;
don’t indulge
in what shouldn’t be done;
& persist
in what should
–mindful, alert–
effluents come to an end.

Bodhinyana
by Venerable Ajahn Chah
Most of the talks in this collection were originally taken from old cassette tape recordings of Venerable Ajahn Chah, some in Thai and some in the North-Eastern Dialect, most recorded on poor quality equipment under less than optimum conditions. This presented some difficulty in the work of translation, which was overcome by occasionally omitting very unclear passages and at other times asking for advice from other listeners more familiar with those languages.
As regards the translations, the various translators have tried to be as exact as possible with the content of the teachings but have omitted much of the repetition inevitably arising in oral instruction. Pali words absorbed into the Thai language have, in the course of time, acquired additional meanings: e.g., the Thai “arome” refers to the Pali “ ¯ aramman ¯ . a” – sense object or mental impression, but its common meaning is “mood” or “emotion”. The Venerable Ajahn uses these words in both ways and we have translated accordingly.

It’s painful

painful to travel the road.
