Title: Ajahn Brahm: Day 3 Afternoon Sutta Study "Right RestrainMindfulness of Body & Breath" and Q&A 08.12.21
Blurb: In this talk Ajahn Brahm directly refers to the suttas - the word of the Buddha. Ajahn talks about the importance of wisely applying right effort on the path of meditation. In other words, the effort to let go - not to do or get something. But to restrain all doing or wanting. Followed by a Q&A. Ajahn answers the questions of the retreat participants in his unique cheerful and wise manner. This teaching is part of a special 7-day online retreat called “Emboldening the Mind with Fizz & Sparkle," with Ajahn Brahm and Ven Candā, in support of Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project. In this retreat, the teachers show how we can nurture happiness and a love of peace so that inner tranquillity blossoms easily, like a fragrant lotus of luminous beauty. Inspiration flows from within and emboldens courage in the mind, enabling us to live with authenticity, and to gradually let go and perceive the liberating Dhamma (Truth) as The Buddha timelessly taught. ✨We have now moved to our new monastery property!
