1-Day Workshop with Ajahn Brahmali 1-Day Workshop with Ajahn Brahmali (For BF Members only) Topic: 1-Day Workshop - Taking a relay chariot to Nibbāna! A study of the Rathavinīta Sutta (MN 24) Date: Saturday, 26 Dec 2026 Time: 9am - 5pm SGT Venue: 310 Lavender St (S338815) Synopsis: "In this remarkable sutta, a monk called Puṇṇa Mantāṇiputta explains the path to Nibbāna as equivalent to taking a series of relay chariots. You mount one chariot, take it a certain distance, and then mount another one. Is this a good metaphor for the Buddhist path? In this workshop, we will investigate the strengths and weaknesses of this sutta. We will look at how it forms the scaffolding for the Visuddhimagga. And we will discover what are its implications for our practice of the path! " ~ Ajahn Brahmali Due to space constraints, registration for this 1-day Workshop by Ajahn Brahmali is open to BF members only. See you there!
