Buddhist Society of Western Australia

This is a workshop style session on the art of deep listening and being truly present with two of our listeners from the BSWA Buddhist Care Line, a free, confidential telephone Listening Service which offers callers a safe space to talk about any issues that may be happening in your life without fear of judgement.  The valuable skill of deep listening is not only of immense benefit when supporting others in these turbulent times, but a skill that is truly beneficial for one’s own spiritual practice. 

For the hours of operation and the phone number of the Buddhist Care Line, please visit https://bswa.org/buddhist-care-line/

A Dhamma talk given at the Buddhist Society of Victoria (BSV) by Ajahn Nissarano. Believed to be given around November 2019.

Ajahn Nissarano talks about greed, viewed from a Buddhist perspective. Greed in Buddhism isn't just about wanting things in excess, but it's any degree of wanting or attraction towards something. Ajahn discusses ways to abandon greed, through contentment, thankfulness, and knowing the disadvantages of the things we are greedy for.

What Ajahn Santutthi likes about Buddhism is that we can learn the deeper parts of the teaching through the simple practice of meditation. Ajahn says that through meditation, we can understand kindness, clarity and a mind that is free from worry to name a few.

This is a recording of live stream event organised by Venerable Canda of Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project in England (part 1 of 2). It was an unprecedented opportunity for participants to ask pressing and deep questions to Meditation Master Ajahn Brahm (in Perth, Western Australia) renowned for his kindness, humour, wisdom and warmth. Topics include unfulfilled love, kamma and rebirth, gender equity in the monastic alms line, jhanas, non-self, how to relate to family members who hurt or anger us and heavenly beings! Do see it all (in increments?) including the last twelve minutes where Ajahn and Venerable Canda discuss the exciting Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project in England and how you can be involved.

The session starts with a brief introduction and Dhamma Reflection, followed by Q&A, a short meditation in the middle and further Q&A in the second half with Ajahn Brahm extending into overtime as is characteristically generous of him!

Donations towards Anukampa's aim to develop a nuns' monastery in England are extremely welcome. Thank you for your kind generosity. Please visit https://anukampaproject.org/donate/
