Ajahn Brahm teaches us how to deal with difficult emotions and to learn how to experience more positive emotions, more often.

Everything we do by body, speech or mind has an ethical dimension, and there are consequences for our behaviour and our actions. We are all accountable for our actions, and Ajahn Brahm explains how we sometimes get so caught up in getting through the day that we often forget or put out of mind the longer term consequences of our actions, and offers advice on how to change.

Is it really possible to find happiness in our busy modern lives? Ajahn Brahm talks about the path to happiness in the context of our modern lives.

Years ago, Ajahn Brahm, like many of us, had the difficulty in meditation "Why is it that my mind goes wandering off?" Ajahn answers that it was because what he was experiencing at the moment was not delightful enough. When your mind is wandering off, Ajahn encourages you to embrace your mind and stay in the moment. As your mind becomes still, the delight in meditation will start to build up.

How does one interpret the first precept in everyday life? Is being a Buddhist and a soldier mutually exclusive?

How might society justly deal with such grievous actions and ultimately, how can one forgive?
