Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

2026 June | Weekend Meditation Retreat (1/5)| Venerable Jhayako
Q: What is meant by there's no happiness in the world?
The host explains that happiness is often tied to transient conditions and craving; true peace comes from understanding the nature of suffering and letting go of attachments, recognizing that happiness is not found in external objects but within a cultivated awareness.
2026 June | Weekend Meditation Retreat (2/5)| Venerable Jhayako
Q: So, we can believe that anger may stem from injustice, or someone crossing our boundaries, or doing something like that. How do we sort out the boundaries and respect our own feelings and express that without trying to push it down, which isn't particularly helpful either?
A mindful approach to boundaries involves recognizing when anger arises, validating one's own feelings, and choosing how to respond calmly rather than suppressing or exploding. The goal is to acknowledge the trigger, maintain inner balance, and communicate with clarity when appropriate, allowing wounds to heal without feeding the cycle of reactivity.
Ud1.10: Bahiya Sutta & various suttas | Ajahn Bram | 21 June 2025
Q: Why have you translated Vinaya as suppress rather than restraint?
Ajahn Bram explains that suppressing the hindrances means weakening their power through wisdom, not forceful pushing; restraint carries different nuances and wisdom is emphasized over mere willpower.
MN72: Vacchagotta Sutta - With Vacchagotta on Fire | Ajahn Brahm | 12 July 2026
Q: So, volition is part of the eightfold path?
Volition is discussed as part of the five aggregates and practice; there is will, but it is not a possession of a fixed self; it is conditioned.
Ud1.10 Bahiya Sutta - With Bahiya | Ajahn Brahm | 28 June 2026
Q: What is enlightenment?
Enlightenment is realized when one recognizes the absence of a fixed self through direct experience of sensory phenomena, leading to the end of suffering; it becomes clear after properly understanding the Bahiya teaching and completing the path.
