Whenever there is any difficulty or problem, sometimes serious problems, what can you do? Sometimes, the best thing to do is nothing. Sit down and relax until there is something for you to do. Ajahn Brahm explains the importance of relaxing and preserving your energy in times of crisis, so that when the opportunities come you have enough energy in you to take action.

Ajahn Jhanarato talks to us tonight about our ability to meditate when the environment around us is noisy or less than ideal. Ajahn refers back to occasions in his own experience where noise was very much present. Ajahn equates this to our minds after a busy normal day. Our minds tend to be like a market place or even a snow globe. All we need do is sit and allow our minds to settle. Using this settling time to also adjust and relax our bodies, gives rise to our mind clearing, settling, leading to a much better more relaxed meditation.
Ajahn then lead the group in a thirty minute meditation encouraging us all to leave the busy day behind and just allow our mind to settle, becoming peacefully relaxed.
After meditation Ajahn opened to questions before continuing his talk.

Ajahn Nissarano explains how to cope with fear and anxiety by cultivating our mind state. People might think that you either have an emotion, such as anxiety, or you don't. But Buddhism sees emotions in a different way. We have all these emotions in us, it's just a matter of finding the way to make positive emotions powerful.
