The spiritual training is like aircon for your mind. Our body can be uncomfortable in a hot and humid climate. But air conditioning can really help. So too can our hot and uncomfortable mind get real help from our spiritual development of ethics, meditation and wisdom. But when doing your meditation, please allow your mind to calm down by itself – you just create more mental discomfort by craving, wanting and fighting your mind.

This teaching was given during a short day retreat in Oxford May 2025:

Anukampa in Oxford
Publisert: 2025-05-27

DNBF's former chairman Jon Endre Mørk and Nitho had to go to Oxford to meet and congratulate Venarable Canda, which has just established the first place for fully ordained women in the UK. There was both retreat teaching, BBC interviews, a walk along the Themes river and the opportunity to get to know the new center.
