Ajahn Brahmavamso Mahathera (known to most as Ajahn Brahm), born Peter Betts in London in 1951, is a Theravada Buddhist monk. Ajahn Brahm grew up in London and earned a degree in Theoretical Physics from Cambridge University. Disillusioned with the world of academe, he trained as a monk in the jungles of Thailand under Ajahn Chah. A monk for over thirty years, Ajahn Brahm is a revered spiritual guide and the abbot of Bodhinyana Monastery, in Serpentine, Western Australia-one of the largest monasteries in the southern hemisphere. He is also the Spiritual Director of the Buddhist Society of Western Australia, and spiritual adviser and inspiration for Buddhist centers throughout Asia and Australia. His winning combination of wit and wisdom makes his books bestsellers in many languages, and on his teaching tours Brahm regularly draws multinational audiences of thousands.
"In this well-done and illuminating work, Brahm shines a light on
the spiritual practice of mindfulness."--Spirituality &
Practice
"This book is an invaluable companion for your journey to your true
self, the not-self that lies at the end of the Buddha's
path."--BuddhaSpace
"With his characteristic simplicity, clarity, and humor, the
British-born Thai forest monk, Ajahn Brahm, offers a prescription
for treating dissatisfaction with our lives, whether it be
difficulties with our health or any circumstance not to our liking.
His instructions on meditation and on mindfulness practice are
simple and clear enough for new practitioners, while at the same
time offering profound insights for those with years of experience.
Brahm teaches us the "art of disappearing" into stillness, which
gives rise to contentment with life as it is at this very moment.
This is Ajahn Brahm's prescription for true peace and profound
happiness. What a gift of the Dhamma!"--Toni Bernhard, author of
How to Be Sick: A Buddhist-Inspired Guide for the Chronically Ill
and their Caregivers
