    Developing Metta - Loving-Kindness | 2023

    Ajahn Brahmali teaches how to cultivate mettā, or loving-kindness, as a vital part of Buddhist practice. To develop mettā, we must train the mind to see others through compassion, not judgment or fear. Mettā purifies the mind, reduces anger and ill-will, and is a foundation for deep meditation.

    Benefits & Pitfalls of Renunciation | 2023

    In this talk, Ajahn Brahmali speaks on the theme of benefits and pitfalls of renunciation. Being more of an internal phenomenon rather than a mere external state, the Pali word for renunciation, Nekhamma, refers to letting go of the world of the five senses. One of the main benefits of the monastic life is the company of Kalyanamittas, spiritual friends, and they bring out the best in us. It is accentuated by a teacher who is a living example of the Dhamma. The dangers of the monastic life often arise from using force and willpower to suppress negative mind states. Therefore, one is encouraged to focus on the overall progress in terms of the increase in positive qualities such as kindness, gentleness and mindfulness and decrease in negative states such as anger and ill will. Ajahn beautifully explains how the monastic life is actually about living a moral life, a life of service and generosity. In the suttas being generous is akin to enlightenment and letting go of the sense of self, which is the main cause of many of life’s problems. It is the final act of renunciation. During the Q&A session, among many important questions, Ajahn addresses how to balance the lay family life with the spiritual life by making everything we do in accordance with the Dhamma where our only concern must be our own conduct in regard to those we live and work with.

    What, Why and How Do We Let Go? | 2022

    Ajahn Brahmali explores the essential Buddhist theme of letting go, addressing what it truly means, why it's important, and how to practice it effectively. Letting go involves gradually loosening the hold of desires, expectations, ego, and fixed views. As we practice, we begin to see that the peace of letting go is far greater than the fleeting pleasure of attachments.
