Sutta Class: Stream Winning & Funny Stories | Ajahn Brahm | 29 November 2025

In a class that combines suttas and personal stories, Ajahn Brahm discusses a simile comparing steps along the path to Enlightenment to seven types of people who have fallen in water. He then references a second sutta about the “jhanagami” shortcut and tells stories of two famous non-returners, one of whose stories dispels the myth that the Buddha was perfect even in previous lives. This is part of a series of teachings for the "Living in Harmony with the World" weekend retreat led by Ajahn Brahm & Ajahn Canda in the UK, Oxford, November 2025.
