Farewell To 2024, Beginning Anew In 2025 | Tan Ajahn Anan
by Ajahn Anan
Ajahn Anan’s talk reflects on the importance of training the mind to overcome defilements such as greed, anger, and delusion. He emphasizes mindfulness, morality, and wisdom as paths to inner peace and awakening. Life is transient, and the breath—a precious yet fragile gift—reminds us of impermanence. Ajahn Anan encourages generosity, moral living, and contemplation to foster spiritual growth, citing the Buddha's teachings on forbearance and mindfulness. As 2024 ends, he urges reflection on past efforts to build goodness and resolve to better oneself in 2025. Whether a child focusing on studies, or an adult fulfilling responsibilities, diligence and association with wise individuals bring blessings. By training the mind to see impermanence and develop inner strength, we can cultivate purity and insight. Ajahn Anan closes with wishes for health, happiness, and success in aspirations aligned with virtue and truth.
