In this teaching, Ajahn Brahm explains that right mindfulness is not merely about observing objects like the breath, but about monitoring the space between the observer and the observed. He argues that spiritual hindrances such as greed and hatred do not reside within external things, but within the way the mind relates to those experiences. By focusing awareness on this relationship, a practitioner can apply peace and kindness to suppress defilements and empower the mind’s natural brilliance. This heightened intensity of awareness leads to deep stillness and joy, eventually facilitating the states of Samadhi or Jhana. Ultimately, this method allows the individual to recognise the selfless nature of all processes, dismantling the ego to achieve liberation from suffering.
