Buddhist Society of Western Australia

In the opening talk to this retreat, Ajahn Brahm provides guidance and stories that illustrate core tenets of meditation practice, including silence, relaxation, mindful appreciation, and loving-kindness. He then leads a 40-minute meditation in which he encourages the retreatants to find comfort and relaxation through kind awareness, and to cultivate gratitude for and trust in the breath.

This is part of a series of teachings from the short retreat called, "Compassionately Mindful" led by Ajahn Brahm & Ajahn Canda, in the UK, in June 2025.
