Proving the Buddha's Four Noble Truths is always an easy task, but has recently been abundantly evident with the First Truth's principal that Life is Suffering, demonstrated through the devastating floods that have fallen on Queenslanders.
Whether it is in the deaths of those lost, the frantic concern for those still missing, or the loss of some, or all, of one's personal possessions, homes, livelihood, friends, loved ones and neighbours. Even more so is the unfathomable loss of other sentient life - livestock, pets, animals, pets, and so many more.

Around 200 people joined Ven. Ajahn Brahm, returning to deliver yet another profound talk on "Putting Meaning Into Life".

On Wednesday September 22 at the Griffith University's Multi-Faith Centre, Nathan Campus we all received a profound talk and shared in an active question and answer session that lasted more than one-hour.
