How the Body is Where Dhammas Arise by Ajahn Wayans The past is drunken Dhamma.
The future is drunken Dhamma here.
The past is drunken Dhamma.
There is a lot of it here.
Craving arises in this present moment.
The past is drunken dhamma.
It has been around since time immemorial.
It arises by way of the body.
It arises by way of speech.
It arises right here.
Intoxication happens right here and brings forth the substance of fabrications.
Fabrications and samudhya, the origin of suffering, are the same thing.
When you focus on going inwards, you will thus be able to see that.
Once you have seen this samudhya sufficiently, it is revealed as bringing in massive abundance, thinking and imagining pictures of this person or that person until you can't sleep.
When you know sufficiently, can think it through sufficiently, act on it.
Knowing enough to practice is enough, that's all.
Keep your map of Dhamma study in its own place.
Leave the map of Dhamma study and bring things in to enter the body and the heart.
Practice will thus be possible.
If you don't leave it be, whatever you think, whatever you think buddho, dhammo or sangho, bringing it in, it will be drunken dhamma already.
It's already gone over to drunken dhamma.
This here is the mass of straight dhamma.
This is the mass of drunken dhamma.
The truth of suffering arises right here.
