Peace in a Conflicted World | Ayya Medhanandi and Ayya Nimmala | 9 November 2024

Talk given by Ayya Medhanandi and Ayya Nimmala from the Canadian Forest Bhikkhuni Sangha and Toronto Theravada Buddhist Community on the 9th November 2024 in honour of Ajahn Brahm’s 50th Bhikkhu Anniversary.

The first 45 seconds of this talk is a loving dedication in text (no audio) to Ajahn Brahm followed by chanting at 0:50 and the Dhamma talk thereafter. 

Loving dedication text:
"This talk is joyously offered on the auspicious occasion of most Venerable Ajahn Brahm's 50th anniversary as a bhikkhu.
His presence in our world has blessed countless beings with inspiring Dhamma teachings, measureless generosity, service and sacrifice, as well as oceanic loving-kindness towards all.
He has nobly led the way - cared for, comforted, encouraged, spread joy and travelled the world over to convey the Budhha's profound wisdom.
Above all, we honour his magnanimous, fearless, and tireless work to enable the renaissance of the Theravada Bhikkhuni Sangha in our era.
We are deeply humbled as we pay our respects to you, Ajahn, and we are forever grateful."

In honour of Ajahn Brahm’s 50th Bhikkhu Anniversary, members of the BSWA Sangha and affiliated organisations and sangha gave a series of talks leading up to the big celebration at Dhammaloka.
