Content / Description

Acquire skill in listening to the citta- the language of citta, Conventional language as mentioned by Ajahn Mun to his disciples in the book Patipada has its limitation. Each and every one of us has symbol and sign to denote the meaning of words. Due to that, conventional language cannot convey the clear understanding and such is the drawback. Whereas the language of the citta is universal. Be it the communication between 2 or even hundreds or thousands, or beings of different realms, the language of citta being universal is also to be fully understand and apprehend without any misunderstanding. Therefore, if a practitioner wishes to progress well, acquiring and mastering the language of the citta is crucial.
