Ajahn Brahm not only looks like Maitreya Bodhisattva to me but also Santa Claus!
He gave a half day talk the day before the retreat. I remember a lady asked him to tell her that she was a bad person because her husband passed on with anger. Ajahn Brahm insisted that she is a good person.
Ajahn Brahm’s teachings often touches the lives of many. He often told us to relax to the max and I love it. His “be kind to your past, be kind to your present and be kind to your future” changes my view. When I changed my views, my life gets better!
Doesn’t he look like Santa Claus? I am still me 47 years ago. All too shy to ask for his autograph but only to look from afar!
The retreat was wonderful. I like it when Ajahn Brahm spent an hour meditating with us. I peeped on him many times during meditation because I wanted to know if I am normal. Yes! I am.
I have plans to visit Bodhinyana for the 9 day retreat. That will highly depend on Mel if she is willing to help look after my cats. Registration opens on July and retreats is on October. Will discuss with Mel again when the time comes.
Cats who teach me to fly...
