![Ajahn Brahmali | Meditation Needs Perseverance | The Armadale Meditation Group]()
March 13, 2019
The Armadale Meditation Group doesn’t often get to see Ajahn Brahmali so when we do we are very grateful.
Ajahn began the night by relating a story of a visit from Ajahn Ganah to Bodhinyanna Monastery. So as not to spoil the story I will stop here. Ajahn Brahmali told this story to highlight how meditation can change people and other's perception of them. We become happier, more patient and more relaxed, but it takes practice and perseverance.
Ajahn then lead the full house through a very peaceful and relaxing 30 minute meditation suitable to both experienced and beginners alike.
After meditation Ajahn opened to comments and questions before continuing his talk on how we change with meditation.
