This recordings begins with a little bit of chanting, then an introduction to Ajahn Santutthi. Ajahn then guides a short meditation and gives a Dhamma talk.
All the way from Perth, we are honoured to present Ajahn Santutthi. Brick by humble brick, with unwavering effort to uphold the Dhamma, Ajahn builds his monastery for the benefit of the Dhamma. Today we go inside the mind of a great man, to find out how he stays equanimous amidst the turmoil of a fevered world and what Ajahn's attitude is, to staying strong in the face of the oppressive external expectations.

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.

![Ajahn Santutthi | Escape The World | Armadale Meditation Group]()
March 5, 2020
Ajahn Santutthi began the evening by asking us to use our free time during the day to meditate. Rather than social media or other activities. Ajahn suggests that rather than using our free time to do social media, we meditate and focus inward. If we focus our energy inward rather than outward we soon learn to cultivate the peace and quiet that is there for all of us. Leaving the world behind and turning inward, even for a short time, will allow us to become outwardly peaceful and quiet.
Ajahn then guided us in meditation asking us to get away from life by turning inward and watching our inner world rather than focusing on external things. When thoughts arise that seem to want to distract us from peace and stillness, just let them go. Watch them rather than engaging with them. Ajahn also asks us to look for the reward in our practice, the peace, the stillness. Over time this will increase. So rather than spending money to escape the world, we can turn inwards to find peace and stillness.
After meditation Ajahn touches briefly on the hindrances that plague most of us when we first begin to meditate. Ajahn then opened to questions before continuing to talk on meditation in general.
