Speaking From The Heart Without Fear | Ajahn Brahm | 16-05-2014

Ajahn Brahm talks about the banning of his speech on gender equality. Ajahn Brahm gives a powerful talk on how to bring about gender equity in Buddhism that is acceptance of full Bhikkhuni ordination. Ajahn looks at how social activism in Buddhism works and how people can reach any goal as long as it is worthwhile; meaning not just for your own happiness and peace but for the happiness and peace of all sentient beings, such as lowering consumption and materialism.
