See the World as a Royal Chariot | Ajahn Siripañño

On the first day of the vassa, visiting Abbot Ajahn Siripanno describes the Buddha's journey to Deer Park to find his five friends and teach them the Middle Way. Ajahn Siripanno urges us to begin our work with the Four Noble Truths and keep it there -
to understand craving and becoming, not by a technical approach but looking directly into experience. He quotes from Ajahn Liam's frequent reference: Dhammapada 171, "Come, see this world like a bedecked and decorated royal chariot; fools are utterly taken in by it, but the wise ones have nothing to do with it." When we look inward, we see the play of the senses and the trickery of the mind are not real; they arise and pass away.
