In today’s talk, we are blessed to welcome Bhante Vimalaramsi and hear him speak about life, meditation, the 6 R’s, and how to keep a light mind. The talk includes a very informative and inspiring Q&A session.

Are you feeling the change in the air? Here we are so acutely aware of the changes in the forest around us. The cricket sounds have reduced in volume. The temperatures are getting cooler. And some yellowed leaves are falling. Fall is here.

Last week, we learned from Bhante Vimalaramsi about adding smiling and relaxing to the active part of the process of meditation. Today, I want to let Ajahn Brahm chime in. He’s big on smiling, enjoying, and relaxing during meditation. We often hear him say: “Relax. To the max.”
