Heroic Effort Nurtured with Love

In this talk Ajahn describes some of the experience and process of sitting meditation for 400 hours in just 45 days, whilst at Bodhgaya, Bihar, India. Ajahn has done this repeatedly in order to fullfil a vow to sit meditation at 'The Seat of Enlightenment' for 3000 hours. This talk covers subjects such as nourishing Effort with qualities such as strong Faith, and Loving-Kindness inspired via Compassion. Although this talk was given to a group of junior monks, it may be relevant and useful to serious and sincere lay-practitioners as well.
