The Body is Nature; the Mind is Free | Ayya Ānandabodhī

In this session, Ayya Ānandabodhī, founder of Pārāyana Vihara, speaks about the mind's tendency to lose itself in thoughts of the past and future, and our need to purify the heart so that the present moment becomes a place of deep abiding, regardless of external circumstances.
Ayya Anandabodhī's Bio:
Ayya Ānandabodhī was born and raised in Wales, UK. Ayya first encountered the Buddha’s teaching in her early teens while reading about the Four Noble Truths. This was life-changing and from that moment she experienced a deep confidence in the Buddha’s insight and a wish to understand his teachings more deeply. At the age of 24, Ayya began monastic training at Amaravati Buddhist Monastery in England under the guidance of Ajahn Sumedho. 17 years later she moved to the USA with a wish to create more opportunities for women monastics. In 2011 she took full Bhikkhunī Ordination, joining the worldwide revival of the Theravāda Bhikkhunī Order. Ayya Ānandabodhī loves to share the Dhamma. Ayya’s practice is guided by early Buddhist scriptures, living in community, and through nature’s pure and immediate Dhamma.
