Ajahn Brahm: Day 4 Morning "Nimittas & The End Of Questions" 09.12.21
Channel: Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project
Date: 2021-12-09

Ajahn Brahm elaborates on the "nimitta", which appear like lights and come up in meditation spontaneously when the conditions are right. As a very refined state of mind compared to the sensory world, the experience of nimitta can be quite a "trauma" but in a completely positive sense as we have few words to describe such experiences on our conventional language. Ajahn also guides this morning's meditation. 

This teaching is part of a special 7-day online retreat called “Emboldening the Mind with Fizz & Sparkle," with Ajahn Brahm and Ven Candā, in support of Anukampa Bhikkhuni Project.
 
In this retreat, the teachers show how we can nurture happiness and a love of peace so that inner tranquillity blossoms easily, like a fragrant lotus of luminous beauty. Inspiration flows from within and emboldens courage in the mind, enabling us to live with authenticity, and to gradually let go and perceive the liberating Dhamma (Truth) as The Buddha timelessly taught.
