Life is filled with experiences with many “twists and turns” and “ups and downs”. At times everything seems to be going perfectly and then it suddenly goes downhill. Some seem to be blessed with good fortune, while others always struggle in their day to day living. Who decides how the dice falls? Is it me or things beyond my control? How can we better understand this and develop ways to deal with what life offers?

Join us in-person to hear Ajahn Brahm’s response with opportunities to ask questions at the Malvern Town Hall.
