Ajahn Brahm starts with a guided meditation overflowing with advice for putting everything down and relaxing into whatever is in the present moment. He goes on to tell various stories of overcoming discomfort, fear, despair, illness, and various other kinds of difficulty by cultivating attitudes of letting go, loving kindness, and joy. The session ends with a 45-minute Q&A with participants.
