About This Event

Description

Join Ven. Vimala for an online exploration of one of Buddhism's most profound teachings on the path to liberation. This Dhamma talk, rooted in Sutta AN 10.61 from the Pali Canon, invites you to study how understanding naturally unfolds into freedom—a timeless inquiry conducted by a monastic teacher with deep knowledge of classical Buddhist philosophy. Whether you're new to the Buddha's teachings or a dedicated practitioner, this session offers a rare opportunity to receive direct guidance on foundational truths, all from the comfort of your home.

On Saturday, October 3, 2026, you'll join a live online gathering at Tilorien Monastery to explore the teachings that have guided seekers for over twenty-five centuries. Ven. Vimala brings the clarity and accessibility of monastic wisdom to Western students, unpacking how insight naturally leads toward the liberation that the Buddha taught. This is a chance to sit with the Dharma in an intimate, unhurried way—to ask questions, clarify understanding, and deepen your relationship with Buddhist practice.

What to Expect

You'll receive a guided exploration of Sutta AN 10.61, a discourse that illuminates the sequential unfoldment of understanding on the spiritual path. Ven. Vimala will draw on classical Buddhist philosophy to show how knowledge flows toward liberation, making abstract concepts tangible and relevant to your own practice. Expect a contemplative atmosphere, clear teaching, and the opportunity to develop greater clarity around the Buddha's core message. Participants typically leave with both intellectual understanding and a felt sense of how these teachings apply to their own journey toward freedom.

About the Artist

Common Questions

FAQs

Based on Ajahn Brahm's teaching style, a Dhamma talk typically combines doctrinal instruction grounded in the Pali Canon with practical meditation guidance rather than being a sit-in-silence session. Expect him to weave stories and real-world examples that illustrate Theravada concepts, then often offer a shorter guided practice—his strength is making the abstract accessible to Western practitioners.
You'll recognize the emphasis on samadhi (deep concentration) and mindfulness, but Thai Forest practice under teachers like Ajahn Chah (Brahm's own teacher) tends to be more austere and structured than many Western Vipassana centers, and less conceptual than Zen. His talks often bridge that gap by translating formal monastic discipline into accessible lay practice, so expect both continuity and a distinctly Theravada flavor.
The talk will absolutely stand alone; Brahm is an exceptional oral teacher who doesn't assume prior reading. That said, if you've read *Opening the Door of Your Heart* or *The Art of Living*, you'll recognize his core themes and may get deeper resonance, but new listeners won't be lost—his gift is explaining foundational concepts clearly in real time.
Brahm uniquely combines rigorous fidelity to the Pali Canon with an almost conversational warmth and humor about Western life—doubt, desire, modern anxiety. Where some Theravada teachers remain formal or scholarly, he meets practitioners where they are, often using self-deprecating stories from his own monastic life to illustrate how classical Buddhist wisdom applies to contemporary struggles.
