This week we learn from Ajahn Brahm, what important role joy plays to prepare for meditation. We read from a transcript of one of his retreats, as published in last week’s newsletter of the Buddhist Society of Victoria. How do we arouse joy on demand? Besides Ajahn Brahm’s instructions, we let His Holiness The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu inspire us with their eight pillars of joy from their landmark work The Book Of Joy.

Enjoy today’s video above, read and meditate with us, and join us next time live here.
