Draw Water from the Nearest Well, Ayya Medhanandi
Living in this modern world, we may find ourselves spinning and forgetting our noblest orientation. Yet, as spiritual explorers, diving inward to the silence of the mind is a refuge – a reprieve. We see with more understanding and nobility of mind. Emulating the Buddha touching the earth, we abide in the Dhamma of present moment awareness. Just so we draw the water of wisdom from within, our nearest well – our truest connection. We are able to stop, anchored in that awareness – enduring, wise and compassionate. And we learn to fly inwardly, visiting galaxies that are invisible yet known by the spiritual power of the heart. Sati Saraniya breakfast reflections

The Path of Love is Under Our Feet, Ayya Medhanandi
We long to know unconditional love. And yet we keep seeking it all around us instead of stopping to look within. At this very moment, we intimately, intuitively come to know our true humanity in the very silence of the heart. Stopping long enough, we bear witness to our true nature with clear awareness. We let go ‘me’ or ‘mine’. Each moment is seen as it is – impermanent, impersonal, imperfect. All around us, the distractions and despair of the world are circling. When our refuge is pure awareness, the path of love is under our feet.

With a Heart of Forgiveness, Ayya Medhanandi
When we remember to bring forth gratitude and restore peace, we can abide in a heart of forgiveness. There is so much goodness to know. Even if it feels impossible – we give ourselves to awareness in this moment and we know the goodness. We grow in it – to be mother or father to ourselves so we don’t die in our seriousness. Take precepts, know the joy of kindness. And in the goodness of time, the flower will open. Everyone wants to be happy. Realizing this, we love the moment for all we learn from it. And in this we know peace.

Opening the Heart, Ayya Medhanandi
Though we feel powerless to change the state of the world, we can change our own minds. We can open to peace here within us. Regardless of our vacillating moods or reactions, awareness is ever present. So staying present and aware, learn to trust. Forgiving fears or doubts, let them go. By persevering with kindness, wholesome intentions and thoughts, we come to understand ourselves and each other. We see the empty, impermanent qualities of all things – and their suffering nature. Knowing our true spiritual strength in awareness and the moral fibre of our humanity, the heart opens to profound peace and unshakeable compassion.

A Web of Mindfulness, Ayya Medhanandi
My first teacher taught me: ‘All is One - There is nothing else.’ Seeing things in their true light, we can lose our fear. I learned this while watching giant golden spiders. They were scary – and my early mindfulness was weak. When we’re lost in the waves, we’re far from the ocean. But we are the ocean, so staying centred in the web of mindfulness, we can know true refuge. This is the ocean of love. There’s no web, no spider, no fear – just pure consciousness. We know that we are one with all – in present moment awareness. Breakfast Reflections, Sati Saraniya Hermitage, Aug. 12, 2025

If We Only Knew – Guided Meditation, Ayya Medhanandi
The root of saraniya, reconciliation, is sarana, refuge. The silence in the heart is our most powerful refuge. And sati, mindfulness, is the mother of opening the heart and coming to know who we really are. We must come empty to the Buddha, or awakened ones from whom we seek guidance and help in removing obstacles. Then we learn how to hoist up our sail and direct ourselves to listen, bow, and see the flame of Dhamma burning brightly within us. At the core of our being, joyful respect enables presence and sublime understanding of who we really are. We are not separate but one conscious awareness, the same and indivisible. When we give up dividing, judging, fighting – and suffering – the ego falls away and we directly know underlying reality. Both our freedom and our rescue are in pure awareness – through the promise of virtue and the power of our homage. A guided meditation, Ottawa Buddhist Society, April 3, 2026

Be Bread, Share Blessings, Ayya Medhanandi
Can we 'be bread' for ourselves and those we meet who are hungry in spirit? Through the goodness of our practice, with the understanding gained in the silence of the heart, we open to a freedom without boundaries – letting go the weight of our sorrows, clinging, and suffering. Even a spaceship cannot travel to the frontiers where this wondrous space in the heart can take us. We may not know it fully yet, but when we pierce the delusion of the world, awakening is our rightful inheritance. Then the 'Way' can never be lost to us again. And we can share the blessings of that exalted love – the bread of awakening. Sati Saraniya Hermitage, Aug. 3, 2025

Not Giving Up But Waking Up, Ayya Medhanandi
Bowing in the currents of life, we navigate with a generosity of attention and heart. Whatever happens, the sign of the Dhamma rises in us like a glowing sun. We receive it, know it, open to it, and welcome its wondrous light to guide us. Now is the time to live, sit, walk, rest, work and love – blessing the world with great compassion. Not giving up but waking up – because awareness will transform us step by step. And we do awaken. Breakfast Reflections, Sati Saraniya Hermitage, Sept, 27, 2025
