Once, when Ajahn Brahm was a young monk, his teacher Ajahn Chah asked him to give a Dhamma talk before thousands of people in Thailand. For most people, that would be terrifying. But Ajahn Brahm remembered the lesson he had been trained to practise: letting go. In this talk, Ajahn Brahm explains why we should release our regrets about the past and our anxieties about the future, and learn to live with greater peace in the present moment.
