The second talk of the "Power of Stillness" Day of Practice at Western Sydney University, February 17, 2024.
** About Santi Forest Monastery **
Ajahn Brahm's Sydney Visit has been organised organised by Santi Forest Monastery and Metta Centre. The visit allows participants to learn directly from Ajahn Brahm so as to deepen our own practice of Stillness, as well as to raise awareness & funds for Santi Forest Monastery’s latest project of a Suburban Nuns’ residence in Leumeah. This residence is a place to share Buddhism, care for nuns who are elderly, sick or with disability, and make Buddhism more accessible in the Sydney suburbs. You can read more about the project and make a donation at santifm.org/sa... and also check out Santi's RU-vid channel: / @santimonastery
