Ajahn Sona discusses the interaction with global monastic practices with sustainability matters. The Birken Forest monastery is highlighted. Born in Canada, Ven. Sona's background as a layperson is in classical guitar performance. His encounter with Buddhist wisdom as a young man initiated a spiritual journey that led him to become a lay hermit for several years. He subsequently ordained as a Theravada monk under Ven. Gunaratana, at the Bhavana Society in West Virginia, where his first years of training took place. Ven. Sona further trained for over three years at monasteries following Ajahn Chah in northeast Thailand, especially Wat Pah Nanachat. Upon his return to Canada in 1994 he helped found Birken Forest Monastery near Pemberton, BC. As its spiritual guide, Ajahn ("teacher") Sona has led the monastery through each stage of its growth. He established Birken (or, Sitavana, 'cool forest') in its final location south of Kamloops BC in 2001. For more than forty years inspired by the pioneering dialogues of the Trappist monk Thomas Merton, with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and the Zen master Daisetz T. Suzuki Buddhist and Christian monastics have been engaged in interfaith colloquies about the similarities and differences between these two great spiritual traditions. In 2008, practitioners from Catholicism and various Buddhist traditions met at Gethsemani Abbey in Kentucky, the home of Thomas Merton. The theme was the Buddhist and Catholic response to the environmental <b>...</b>

WHILST STILL IN HIS YEARS AS A JUNIOR MONK, HE WAS ASKED TO UNDERTAKE THE COMPILATION OF AN ENGLISH-LANGUAGE GUIDE TO THE BUDDHIST MONASTIC CODE - THE VINAYA - WHICH LATER BECAME THE BASIS FOR MONASTIC DISCIPLINE IN MANY THERAVADAN MONASTERIES IN WESTERN COUNTRIES. COMING TO AUSTRALIA THE THEN VENERABLE BRAHM WAS INVITED TO PERTH, AUSTRALIA BY THE BUDDHIST SOCIETY OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA TO ASSIST AJAHN JAGARO IN TEACHING DUTIES.

About five years ago I stumbled upon this monk's talks. How he speaks and teaches the pratical applications of Buddhism is what really brought me to this profound religion, a "religion" which I had earlier thought of as foreign and supersticious. I soon learned that the complete opposite was true, and to this day these very teachings help me through every aspect of my life... so, I thought I'd share this with everyone here in hopes that you might get something from it as well. :) This particular teaching by Ajahn Brahmavamso is on the subject of 'loneliness'. There are many, many more topics that he has spoken about and can be found on www.bswa.org -- as well as the talks of many other insightful teachers. I know this is a very long video, so it's probably best to do what I do: Have it playing in the background while you do something else (for example cleaning, exercising, playing video games, etc.) ;) With Metta :) -Matt

I read and recorded these passages from Ajahn Chah's book "Living Dhamma" while sitting next to some train tracks in Krakow, Poland, late April, 2011. The reading beings about one minute in, and then fades in and out, along with the surroundings. Access the entire book here: www.accesstoinsight.org Here is the transcript from this video: "You've been alive for a long time now. Your eyes have seen any number of forms and colors, your hears have heard so many sounds, you've had any number of experiences. And that's all they were, experiences. You've eaten delicious foods, and all those good tastes were just good tastes, nothing more. And the bad tastes were just bad tastes, nothing more. When the eye sees a beautiful form, that's all it is, a beautiful form. If the eye sees a beautiful form that's all it is a beautiful form. An ugly form is just an ugly form. The ear hears an entrancing, melodious sound, and it's nothing more than that. A grating, discordant sound is simply that. Now is the time to allow the mind to let go of attachments. The Buddha said that rich or poor, young or old, human or animal, no being in this world can maintain itself in any single state for long. Everything experiences change and deprivation. This is a fact about life about which we can do nothing to remedy. But the Buddha said that what we can do is contemplate the body and mind to see their impersonality, that neither of them is me or mine. They have only a provisional reality. It's like this <b>...</b>

Denial of the senses, labelling them evil or even completely prohibiting sense indulgence is not the Buddhist way. Meditation and mindfulness allow practitioners to deal with sensuality wisely, particularly if it is destructive to one's self or others. And, according to Ajahn Brahm, those who *really* want to be deviant and head towards nibbana (enlightenment): "Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side..." - and try celibacy.
