Ajahn Brahm uses the simile of the thousand-petaled lotus to describe the natural progression of the mind as it enters deep meditation, moving through increasingly deep and subtle stages through the power of mindfulness, kindness, patience, and letting go.
This is part of a series of teachings for a retreat led by Ajahn Brahm & Ajahn Canda in the UK on 25th of June 2025.
