My Journey and Beyond | Venerable Amaranatho

As a young British hitch-hiker, who was in search of happiness, fulfilment and the deeper meanings of life, Venerable Amaranatho embarked by chance on a 10-day meditation course in Perth, which helped set him off on his spiritual journey. In this talk, Venerable Amaranatho also talks about mindfulness, generosity, kindness and love. Then to conclude, he read two poems, one of which is a beautiful piece of Sufi poetry by Hafiz, called “It Felt Love”.

How did the rose ever open its heart and give to this world all its beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light against its being, otherwise, we all remain too frightened
