Hetu Paccaya, usually translated as the condition of Roots, is the Paṭṭhāna condition which describes the nature of an inner establishment in relation to mind, matter and consciousness. This Dhamma talk gives a new perspective both on the nature of experiential reality as well as on the Paṭṭhāna condition of Roots. This is part of my “Paṭṭhāna series” talks, which can be found on my website (https://highermindart.info/dhamma-talks/) For a better understanding of my rather untraditional way of understanding the Paṭṭhāna conditions, I suggest to have a look at my website, or to read my book “Paramattha” which can be downloaded for free on the same website: https://highermindart.info .

The Patthãna Conditions of Abhidhamma basically constitute the Grammar of insight in Buddhist Philosophy.

In this talk I explore the dual nature of all phenomena, both material and mental, through the lens of latency and manifestation. Latency and Manifestation are my translations of the two Patthana conditions of Purejata and Pacchajata. This talk is a talk in my Patthana series.

This talk explores the difference between Visualisation and Imagination, and how both relate to the spiritual path.

In this short Dhamma talk, I explain how to balance the four elements both in meditation and in daily life. This is a follow up talk to the previous talk on the Four Elements.

Throughout the ancient world the concept of the four elements has been used, not only to better understand and classify matter, but indeed for understanding the wholeness of an individual's experience.

This Dhamma talk gives a comprehensive overview over what these four elements are and how they may be used for meditation and for gaining deeper insights into the nature of our own experience. On my website (https://highermindart.info) there can be found a corresponding booklet, as well as various articles on the subject.
