Buddhism isn’t a book-based or idea-based religion, but a religion based on observing our human experience first-hand. So studying books is not the emphasis of the teaching, but practice in order to get direct knowledge of the truth within ourselves. Ajahn Brahm explains using the story of the pyramid in the jungle.

December 2019

Ajahn Santutthi related a simile by the Buddha about mangoes. Rather than picking the fruit, the Buddha patiently waited for the fruit to fall. Ajahn encourages us all to do the same regards our meditation practise, be patient and wait for the deeper states to occur naturally.

Ajahn then guided us in a thirty minute meditation well suited to all. Ajahn then related Buddha's earlier practise of meditation when he was trying many different techniques in his effort to find the best meditation.

A technique to bring up joy and positive feeling during our meditation, shared by Ajahn Brahmali is to treat our meditation time as an act of generosity towards our-self and others. When our mind wanders off, Ajahn reminds us to gently nudge it back to our object of meditation (mindfulness) and back to joy, rather than forcing it back through the use of will power.

According to the Suttas, a corrupt leader can corrupt the whole society. Ajahn Brahmali discusses the importance of voting for moral leaders and for having compassion towards politicians. Ajahn reminds us that our world is never going to be perfect, so we shouldn't become upset over political issues. Instead we should focus our attention on being generous and kind.
