Ajahn Brahm talks about truth not being a goal, but a process of understanding. Real truth is direct experience derived from a peaceful mind developed through meditation. Wisdom developed through meditation then leads to a deeper understanding of life and respect for one another.

Often we find faults in our life, partners and ourselves and overlook the good parts. Ajahn Brahm offers a new perspective; which is to see what we think are bad parts as opportunities to learn and grow. Ajahn encourages us to love ourselves (faults and all) and to develop a joy finding mind (a mind that sees the positives, rather than the faults).

Ajahn Brahm talks about how inspiration can energize our meditation practice and allow us to go beyond the boundaries we normally set for ourselves. Ajahn says inspiration is one of the most important parts of the spiritual life because it is difficult to be kind, generous, loving, forgiving and so on without authentic examples of great acts of generosity and kindness. It is inspiration which encourages us to add our own acts of beauty to this world and those acts spread inspiration to others and make this world a beautiful place.
