About this listen

Buddhism doesn't follow a specific holy book like other religions do. The essence of Buddhism lies in the truth and wisdom that can be found within one's own mind through meditation, rather than in any written texts. In this talk, Ajahn Brahm, discusses the importance of understanding and applying the teachings of Buddhism in everyday life. He emphasizes the need for meditation and stillness as a means of developing intelligence and wisdom, and encourages individuals to think for themselves instead of blindly following religious leaders.

This dhamma talk was originally recorded using a low quality MP3 to save on file size on 12th October 2007. It has now been remastered and published by the Everyday Dhamma Network, and will be of interest to his many fans.
