How does one interpret the first precept in everyday life? Is being a Buddhist and a soldier mutually exclusive? Are there instances when one can perform a ‘mercy’ killing and not attract negative results? How does kamma work in relation to the murdering of living beings? How might society justly deal with such grievous actions and ultimately, how can one forgive?

Sorry about the buzzing sound, it stops at 2:59

Imagine you think to yourself, "this is good enough, I don't need to improve." What a wonderful thought that is to find peace with yourself. Ajahn Brahm explains how having an attitude of contentment actually improves all areas of our life.

Ajahn Santutthi teaches us that when our mind is calm it can listen to our own instruction to let go of thinking and be in the present moment. Ajahn also inspires us to deepen our practice to the point where meditation does not feel like a chore but our passion, something that we look forward to rather than feeling that it is something we have to do.

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.

Ajahn Brahm gives a talk on meditation and how it works. One of the central principles and practices of Buddhism has been meditation. Those who know anything about the history of Buddhism know that it started with one person meditating under a tree. If there’s any holy book in Buddhism it is the holy book of meditation in which you can read in your own heart, in the stillness of your mind rather than any scripture.

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!

Unless we uproot our underlying tendencies, the defilements are not fully uprooted. Dhp 338: Just as a tree, though cut down, sprouts up again if its roots remain uncut and firm, even so, until the craving that lies dormant is rooted out, suffering springs up again and again. Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.
