The practice of ‘letting go’ is very effective for minds obsessed by compulsive thinking: you simplify your meditation practice down to just two words – ‘Letting go’ – rather than try to develop this practice and then develop that; and achieve this and go into that, and understand this, and read the Suttas, and study the Abhidhamma … and then learn Pali and Sanskrit … then the Madhyamika and the Prajña Paramita … get ordinations in the Hinayana, Mahayana, Vajrayana … write books and become a world renowned authority on Buddhism.
Instead of becoming the world’s expert on Buddhism and being invited to great International Buddhist Conferences, just ‘let go, let go, let go’.
Excerpt From
Cittaviveka
Ajahn Sumedho
(Introductory Note to 1992 edition: “Cittaviveka was first published 1983 and has gone through several editions and some modifications since then. The book was not originally conceived purely as a collection of talks on Buddhism, but as textual and pictorial representation of Chithurst Buddhist Monastery [established 1979-81].”)

YouTube doesn’t create enough meaning in its ads you should tell them that they’re pathetic have you seen the ones lately advertising bras. The latest one started off in a fast-forward mode it was warped, obviously YouTube is twisted it takes money from people fkn around. Every fkn time I close the fkn ad immediately and every fkn time there’s another one. And here’s the thing I already went after YouTube for harassing me with the advertisements that come through the algorithm but now the ads are coming through the videos I click on to watch. Jfc the industry’s repulsive it’s fkn rude and should be shut down the desperation the pushiness is really fkn clear it’s criminal
