Increasing Commitment With Love & Patience For Growing Pains

This talk is offered here as it is felt that it will be of interest to longer term students of Ajahn Achalo. Although offered to a monastic community, many of the themes are relevant to all sincere practitioners. Deepening commitment steadily, being kind through the growing pains – and then experiencing the wonderful results of training after a period of years. Rather than addressing just one main theme, this talk gives a unique glimpse into community life and the process of monastic training that will likely prove very interesting to some. Ajahn also shares touching and humorous personal stories not heard before.

Absolutely amazing

Wonderful. A reminder of the value of commitment sans any obstacles.

Thank you dear Venerable Ajhan Achalo for sharing this insightful & heart felt Dharma offering. I have been struggling through the last few weeks of Vassa with self doubt about walking the Buddha's path as a monk. But your honest candour has offered clarity & re-invigorated my resolve and to practice diligently through the growth opportunity given to me. 🙏🏻💮🙏🏻

Very moving and thought provoking, especially hearing about your Dad's passing away and your Mum's love and commitment.
Thank you.
