Ajahn Brahm has written several books, including “Opening the Door of Your Heart” and “Mindfulness, Bliss, and Beyond”, which have become very popular globally. His lectures, both online and in person, attract a wide audience due to his ability to combine Buddhist wisdom with practical advice for everyday life.
