Ajahn Santutthi teaches us that when our mind is calm it can listen to our own instruction to let go of thinking and be in the present moment. Ajahn also inspires us to deepen our practice to the point where meditation does not feel like a chore but our passion, something that we look forward to rather than feeling that it is something we have to do.

![Hard Questions To A Soft Teacher (1/2) | Ajahn Brahmavamso & Venerable Canda | 27-06-2020]()
June 28, 2020
This is a recording of live stream event organised by Venerable Canda of Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project in England (part 1 of 2). It was an unprecedented opportunity for participants to ask pressing and deep questions to Meditation Master Ajahn Brahm (in Perth, Western Australia) renowned for his kindness, humour, wisdom and warmth. Topics include unfulfilled love, kamma and rebirth, gender equity in the monastic alms line, jhanas, non-self, how to relate to family members who hurt or anger us and heavenly beings! Do see it all (in increments?) including the last twelve minutes where Ajahn and Venerable Canda discuss the exciting Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project in England and how you can be involved.
The session starts with a brief introduction and Dhamma Reflection, followed by Q&A, a short meditation in the middle and further Q&A in the second half with Ajahn Brahm extending into overtime as is characteristically generous of him!
Donations towards Anukampa's aim to develop a nuns' monastery in England are extremely welcome. Thank you for your kind generosity. Please visit https://anukampaproject.org/donate/

Unless we uproot our underlying tendencies, the defilements are not fully uprooted. Dhp 338: Just as a tree, though cut down, sprouts up again if its roots remain uncut and firm, even so, until the craving that lies dormant is rooted out, suffering springs up again and again. Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.

Things happened according multiple causes and conditions. Stop and Investigate. Keep an open mind. If we are narrow minded, we easily get upset.
