Two weeks is a long time to wait when someone as anticipated as Ajahn Nissarano is to visit.  It was worth the wait.  Excelent talk, guided beginners meditation and Q&A!!

A year has past since his last visit and it is a most welcome return of Ajahn Nissarano to AMG.  An excellent introduction, guided beginners meditation and a Q&A session to conclude.  Plus, he'll be back in two weeks, can't wait!

Two weeks later and Ajahn Nissarano is back.  A guided beginners meditation, wonderful story with a Q&A session.

The AMG sees Ajahn Nissarano all to infrequently but when he's here, he fills the house.  Ajahn gave us a brilliant guided meditation for beginners and captivating Dharma talk as well as an interesting Q&A after.

Ajahn Nissarano describes the mantra "be here now" as being like the "coordinates for happiness", but also for developing peace and wisdom. He goes on to offer advice on how, amidst our busy lives, we can learn to "be here now".

Using the Dhammapada as the source of inspiration, Ajahn Nissarano gives advice on how to keep our mind focused on that which is most important and essential in life, and to put less important upon that which is not essential, and thereby realise the essence of life.
