It begins by rejecting the extremes of asceticism and indulgence and recommends the middle way of the eightfold path. Then it defines the four noble truths and analyzes them in twelve aspects. It ends with Venerable Kondañña becoming the first person apart from the Buddha to realize the Dhamma," Sutta Central.

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.

In our daily life, because we have so many things that occupy our mind our meditation can unfortunately be an unpleasant and restless experience. Therefore Ajahn Brahmali teaches us, that one way to still our mind is to develop the perception that what we’re chasing in life is endless and unsatisfactory, and real contentment can only be found inside from our meditation practice.

Ajahn Brahmali offers two simple pieces of mediation advice. Firstly, have patience and allow your mind to calm down. Secondly, value your meditation time. Ajahn explains that the many things we think are really important in our life will dissipate, when we carefully inspect them from a Buddha Dhamma perspective. This then helps us to let go of our thinking and allows us to find some peace in our meditation.

The Buddha said that all conditioned phenomena will eventually come to an end. Ajahn Brahmali explains that because our world is impermanent, it’s an unreliable source of happiness and therefore we need to find our happiness and inspiration from within.

Ajahn Brahmali explains that having right view can make your meditation easier, for example having an understanding that the world is uncontrollable, can help you during your meditation to let go of the world and instead find refuge in yourself.
