Ajahn Hasapanna conducts an intermediate/ advanced meditation class for approximately one hour. Ajahn teaches methods to calm down and minimise thinking at the beginning of meditation, so that eventually we can drop the thinking altogether. Ajahn gives the simile of a very fast car slowing down - it needs to slow down gradually otherwise it will topple over.

Ajahn Brahm gives a simple but profound talk on how to stop taking ourselves so seriously, stop getting dragged down in negativity, stop worrying about fixing problems, stop measuring and controlling, stop putting ourselves in prisons, and simply putting things down to find contentment right where we are, the only place where beauty and joy can unfold.
This is part of a series of teachings for a retreat led by Ajahn Brahm & Ajahn Canda in the UK on 23rd June 2025.

I can barely hear, but still I love it 😍🙏
Ajahn Brahmali May you be happy May you be home May you find the peaceful island which is not inside or outside May you attain the supreme bliss of nibanna ❤️
my favorite dharma teacher. always excellent and helpful to my practice
your voice is soothing to the soul #ajahnbrahm
❤️
opening the door of your heart
The way it is
excellent talk 😁
This is a priceless, valuable podcast for those who look for peace of mind in the modern world. I also recommend DhammaTalks by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Such a shame the sound is not very good quality but thankyou for this talk.
Is there any way the sound quality could be improved? Thankyou for your talk and meditation.
I can hear two sound tracks at the same time 🤔
Programming Meditation
thank you
Thank you venerable Ajahn Brahm for all your teachings and guidance. I am from a Theravada Buddhist country but I don't listen to sermons by local monks because most of them do not know (or perhaps bother) to adress real-life problems
open the door to your heart
This has changed my life. opening my heart doors and letting in all that I have tried to hide. Thank you so very very much.
Loving kindness for the body. Meditation starts round about minute 12.
True happiness stems from leading a simple life and being a good person. ☺️
Meditation with one mantra for beginners: mindfulness is changeable; and 4 mantras for experienced meditators: body - feelings - mind - dhammas is (are) changeable.
