This recording starts off with a 30 minute guided meditation, followed by a one hour Buddha Dhamma talk which begins around 36:45 minutes into the recording. The meditation and talk are designed to go together. The meditation is to be experienced and then the talk refers back to the meditation. Dennis Sheppard is a long time lay practitioner and president of the Buddhist Society of Western Australia.

From February 15th to 24th 2015, Ajahn Brahm offered this San Francisco Bay Area speaking tour in support of the Dhammadharini’s sangha new bhikkhuni monastery. Founded by Ayya Tathaaloka, the Dhammadharini women’s monastic community was the first bhikkhuni sangha of the Theravadan forest tradition in North America, and one of the few places in the West that women can become fully ordained Buddhist monastics. 

Part 1: Ajahn Brahm talks about the importance of being light-hearted on the spiritual path. Ajahn also busted a few myths in Buddhism, such as that samadhi isn't "concentration" but better translated as "stillness". "Concentration takes a lot of effort; stillness takes a lot of letting-go." Ajahn then talked about how to let go, and shared other stores. The talk ends with a guided meditation by Ajahn (1:30:00) for about 25 mins.
