The Teaching of Ajahn Suchart.
22 August 2024
Q: I reduced watching the news.
Than Ajahn: Yes, the news is the same. You cannot change the news anyway. That’s how things happen. I think the real news that you should be watching every day is your future, that is, of ageing, sickness, and death. This is the news that will happen to everybody. So once you see this news then you don’t need to worry about other news. You know things are going to end anyway. It doesn’t matter who becomes the president or the prime minister. You know all will end up dead.
Don’t forget the real news. The Buddha said that you should think of the ageing, sickness and death every day as much as possible. That’s the real news. All other news is fake news. And it’s important for you to be aware of this news then you will prepare your mind for it when you have to face it.
If you have a mind that is ready to face the real news then there will be no dukkha. So this is really a more important news than any other news.
