In this powerful and practical talk livestreamed from Thames Buddhist Vihara, Ajahn Brahm encourages listeners to question how we limit ourselves with the scope of our perceptions, urging us to consciously use kindful, open-minded perception in the face of difficulty as a tool to heal our bodies and minds, live happily, and find the path to Enlightenment. This session ends with an hour-long Q&A.

Once, when Ajahn Brahm was a young monk, his teacher Ajahn Chah asked him to give a Dhamma talk before thousands of people in Thailand. For most people, that would be terrifying. But Ajahn Brahm remembered the lesson he had been trained to practise: letting go.
In this talk, Ajahn Brahm explains why we should release our regrets about the past and our anxieties about the future, and learn to live with greater peace in the present moment.
