Kindness: a Key Ingredient for Progress in Our Practice of the Path

A dialogue with Ajahn Nissarano

Wed 23 Feb| 7-8.30pm

Cost: Free

Without a kind attitude towards ourselves, others & life, no matter how diligently we practice, we will not be practising in a way that is consistent with the Dhamma, and this will be an obstacle to our progress on the Path to Liberation. This talk will focus on some of the things that hinder people from practising kindness, and how to cultivate more kindness towards ourselves and towards others.

About the Speaker: Ajahn Nissarano was born in 1952 in Perth, Western Australia. In 1997, he was ordained by Ajahn Brahm as a novice monk and a year later took full ordination. This year will be his 25th Rains Retreat, Vassa. He lived in Sri Lanka from 2006 to 2019, for a total of 13 and half years. During that time, he lived for 8 years in a cave on the side of a mountain, surrounded by forest and going for alms round to the village below. He returned to Australia regularly to teach, primarily at the Buddhist Society of Victoria. In January 2021 he became the Senior Monk at Newbury Buddhist Monastery, outside Melbourne, which is run by the Buddhist Society of Victoria.
