The Buddha explains in this short but powerful discourse: If we're trying to find all our happiness only in socializing and interacting with friends & family, we will not be able to enjoy the happiness of solitude. Without enjoying the happiness of solitude, we will never understand our own mind. If we don't understand our own mind, we can't realize stream entry, sammā samādhi and Nibbāna.

Ajahn Dhammasiha goes through the 8 factors of the Noble Eight Fold Path, and how they are relevant to guide our action and speech both in daily life as well as in our formal meditation. The Noble 8-Fold Path (Ariyo Aṭṭhangiko Maggo), also know as the 'Middle Way' (Majjhima Paṭipadā) is one of the most fundamental teachings of the Buddha, mentioned prominently already in his very first formal teaching, the Discourse on Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dhamma. In fact, the Noble Eightfold Path is the Fourth Noble Truth, the way leading to the end of suffering. However, if we don't know in detail what are the 8 factors of the Noble 8fold Path, we won't be able to practise on progress along that path. If we know them well, we can apply one or several of them troughout our daily activites, and make 'bhāvanā' (meditation/cultivation/development) and intergral part of our daily life. 1. Right View 2. Right Intention 3. Right Communication 4. Right Action 5. Right Job 6. Right Effort 7. Right Mindfulness 8.

In the video I call this spot Deva Grove (Angel Grove), because I could sense this beautiful, angelic atmosphere there. Only later did I learn that they already have a name for it, namely 'Buddha Grove', though there is no Buddha statue visible, only a little votive stupa. In any case, whatever the name, it's an amazingly tranquil little spot in a normally quite active monastery.

Ajahn Dhammasiha leads a guided meditation on Mettā, Loving Kindness, cultivating the intention of unconditional good will to all beings without distinction. In particular, he encourages us to 'get the feeling going, i.e. to not just 'think' about loving kindness, but to recognize and nurture the ulifting, joyful emotion we feel while practising mettā. He also points out how important it is to develop loving kindness to ourselves. Finally, he shares some reflections on cultivating mettā while walking, and on maintaining the intention of good will to everyone throughout once daily life.
