![Why is there War? | Ajahn Mudito | 13 March 2022]()
March 24, 2022
Dhamma talk by Ajahn Mudito on the 13 March 2022, at the Buddhist Society of Victoria (BSV). Ajahn discusses why is there War and references the Attadandasutta (SNP 4.15).
Bhante Mudito was born in a remote village in Northern-Finland. After completing military service, he travelled to the United States where he attended chef school and worked in a high-end hotel for a few years. While living in New York his long-time interest in Buddhism evolved as he started meditating with different groups. He sought after many teachers and found many of them to be too lofty of simply too boring. But then the stars aligned when Ajahn Brahm wrote his hit book Open the Door of your Heart and on the book promotion tour he came to New York where Mudito fell in love with Ajahn and his simple teachings. He has followed Ajahn Brahm ever since and in 2010 he went to stay in Bodhinyana and ordained as a monk in 2012.

In his last talk for some time at NBM, Bhante Mudito reflects on how we use our time: skillful practices (gratitude, kindness, service) vs unskillful (anger, lazy habits). Drawing on experiences from his younger days, and from the last two years at Newbury, he illustrates how cultivating certain actions and attitudes can have a beneficial effect, even during difficult and challenging times.

![Venerable Mudito - Metta To Oneself First | The Armadale Meditation Group]()
April 4, 2018
Venerable Mudito tells us that "we come first". You can't give love and kindness [metta] to someone else if you don't give love and kindness [meta] to yourself first. If you don't have anything to give, you cannot give. So we must love ourselves first and foremost in our lives, then we are better positioned to give to others.
Venerable Mudito tells us that meditation should be fun, what a blessing to sit and meditate. Venerable then lead us through a 30 minute body contemplation meditation. Look as closely as you can at each and every part of your body. Just focus on relaxing the whole body. This meditation is well suited to both beginner and experienced a like.
After the meditation Venerable Mudito opened to questions. With everyone so relaxed and spaced out that there were no questions, Venerable related his own experience with beginning meditation and how it can be of great benefit to us. From health issues to anxiety meditation, being kind to ourselves, will benefit us and all those around us.

Venerable Mudito encouraged us to lift our self confidence by looking within, asking if we respect ourselves. Be kind to ourselves and in so doing lift our self confidence.
Venerable then guided us through a 30 minute meditation using our bodies as the focus, totally relaxing us in the process. The mediation was well suited to beginners and intermediates. He then gave a Dharma talk to further encourage us to look inward and boost our self confidence.
During Q&A he explained how he came to be a Monk and why it is so important for us to be kind and respectful to our selves. We look forward to Venerable returning to The Armadale Meditation Group.
