Going Against the Stream | 2023

Going Against the Stream | 2023

Ajahn Brahmali discusses the powerful Buddhist metaphor of “going against the stream,” explaining what it means in practice and how it can be a guide for spiritual development.


The “stream” represents the habits, instincts, and societal norms that push us toward desire, aversion, ego, and delusion. The Buddha described those who follow the Noble Eightfold Path as going upstream, against the current of ordinary life driven by craving and ignorance.


Ajahn Brahmali reassures listeners that although it's hard, going against the stream is deeply rewarding, as it leads to peace, clarity, and freedom.
