Shaun Nannup is a Whadjuk Nyoongar man and Aboriginal elder. He is passionate community leader and master storyteller who is a strong advocate for keeping his culture alive and passing on the ways of his ancestors. He uses Aboriginal spirituality and cultural and psychological ways, to speak of love and unity and healing from within. Anyone and everyone who has attended his workshops, talks, and Welcome to Countrys, speaks of his ability to inspire and connect, always focusing on our humanity and common ground. Shaun conveys his message through the art of storytelling which always makes for an inspiring, engaging and moving night.

Coming of the Sun is a continuation of the Noongar story of the Carers of Everything. A story which encompasses care, respect, values, a sense of belonging and place. It makes landmarks of the South West come alive and nurtures an awe and appreciation not only for this magnificent land, but for the Noongar people who have acquired so much knowledge and wisdom from learning to live in harmony with nature, generation after generation after generation after generation.

Ajahn Nissarano gives a Dhamma talk and guided meditation from Newbury Buddhist Monastery, Victoria, Australia (www.nbm.org.au). The guided meditation is for one of the four Brahmaviharas: equanimity. The intention of the meditation is to accept things as they are now. Everything belongs in the present moment, whether it is the way we like it or not, whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, or whether it is perfect or imperfect. Just allowing things to be as they are.

A Dhamma talk recorded by Buddhist Society of Victoria (BSV), by Ajahn Nissarano on New Years Eve for 2020. Ajahn helps us explore how we can let go of the negative ways of thinking by developing positive states of mind, by relating to our circumstances in a positive way. Going from 2019 to 2020 what attitudes are we bringing to it? And how we can we develop an attitude of welcoming life and the uncertainty of 2020 even when things are not so pleasant, such that we can develop gratitude for all things we have received from life and others?

Many people – even many Buddhists – know very little about, or have mistaken ideas, about who the historical Buddha really is. Ajahn Brahmali sets aside the myths and legends and gives an historical account of the life of Siddhartha Gautama – the Buddha, and connects this to how it can enhance our practice in the here and now.
