Ajahn Brahm starts with an hour-long talk, drawing on many of his famous stories and deep-cutting practical wisdom to encourage us to let go of the expectations, fears, and other attachments that we keep holding onto, to find unconditional peace right where we are. He, then, leads a 25-minute guided meditation encouraging meditators to find contentment by committing fully to the moment in front of us with kindness.
This is part of a series of teachings for the "Radiant Happiness, Lasting Peace" retreat" led by Ajahn Brahm & Ajahn Canda in Oxford, November 2025.

Ajahn Brahm discusses the Bahiya Sutta through the lens of various teachings across the Pali Canon, dispelling myths around the apparent ease with which Bahiya achieves Enlightenment by bringing out Bahiya’s full story and demonstrating through the Buddha’s own words that there are no shortcuts to Awakening. This teaching was given on a retreat during Ajahn Brahm’s visit to Anukampa in the UK.
