Intention Is Primary, Attention Is Secondary
2019-05-05 Intention Is Primary, Attention Is Secondary 51:41
Ajahn Sucitto
Attention forms a focus that is by definition, only a part of the whole field (especially the visual focus). So if a ‘watchful’ focus is making your practice tense and try, relax attention and cultivate intention – it covers it all. Intention has a certain motivation, it steers attention. The intention for freedom from stress and pain is what citta is looking for.
