ULUBUDA

ULUBUDA is pleased to inform you that we will be organising a trip down to Wat Buddhapadipa Temple on Saturday, 17th October to attend a

Dhamma Talk by the Ven. Ajahn Brahmavamso

This talk is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (from my personal point of view) especially for those interested in just learning about Buddhism and having a good time while you’re at it!

From my personal experience, Ajahn Brahm’s talks are so simple yet touches on the very essence of his topics and he has the ability to fill the room with laughter.

He will be down in London on the 17th of October after giving a talk in Cambridge University on the 16th of October.

Below is just short background information on Ven. Ajahn Brahmavamso for those who are unfamiliar:

Ven.Ajahn Brahmavamso is often refered to as Ajahn Brahm. He was born Peter Betts and is originally from London himself! In the late 1960′s he  won a scholarship to study Theoretical Physics in the University of Cambridge. After graduating, he taught in a high school for a year before travelling to Thailand to become a monk and trained with the highly respected and honourable Thai Buddhist monk, the late Ven. Ajahn Chah.

He is currently based in Perth, Western Australia where he is the Abbot of Bodhinyana Monastery.
