Ajahn Brahm uses the simile of the thousand-petaled lotus to describe the natural progression of the mind as it enters deep meditation, moving through increasingly deep and subtle stages through the power of mindfulness, kindness, patience, and letting go.
This is part of a series of teachings for a retreat led by Ajahn Brahm & Ajahn Canda in the UK on 25th of June 2025.

In a class that combines suttas and personal stories, Ajahn Brahm discusses a simile comparing steps along the path to Enlightenment to seven types of people who have fallen in water. He then references a second sutta about the “jhanagami” shortcut and tells stories of two famous non-returners, one of whose stories dispels the myth that the Buddha was perfect even in previous lives. This is part of a series of teachings for the "Living in Harmony with the World" weekend retreat led by Ajahn Brahm & Ajahn Canda in the UK, Oxford, November 2025.
