Happiness and You | Talking to Ajahn Jayasaro on the benefits of being a meditator | TVW Special P3

Ajahn Jayasāro is a British and Thai Buddhist monk in the Forest Tradition of Ajahn Chah. He travels around the world speaking to monastics and lay audiences on how to live a happy life, covering topics which are fundamental to Buddhists in their understanding of Buddha's teachings and how to apply them in a fast-changing world.
In Part 3, he helps us understand the right way to study our meditation experiences, shares some episodes from his earlier life, answers a 'frivolous' question and ends with an inspiring take of a snippet from Buddha's story.
