Ajahn Brahmali reflects on the Metta Sutta, highlighting how true loving-kindness begins with cultivating your own virtue. He then shines a light on a rarely explored teaching from the Buddha: the five supportive factors of Right Effort (AN 5.53). These include confidence in the Buddha (saddhā), maintaining health and good digestion, honesty and integrity, the steady energy of effort (viriya), and the wisdom to see the arising and passing away of phenomena. Together, these conditions create the fertile ground where meditation and insight can flourish.Recorded 2024-07-28-This talk by Ajahn Brahmali was recorded and made available for free distribution by the Buddhist Society of Western Australia (BWSA) under the ⁠Creative Commons⁠ license. ⁠You can support the Buddhist Society of Western Australia by pledging your support via their Ko-fi page.⁠
