2:29 What does Ajahn Brahm teach? And a lot of people will sort of pick up the basic method of meditation and say, oh, he talks about breath meditation. But I think these days, even though I'm sure Ajahn Brahm has a great time. Meditating with the breath. His focus is always on these simple things like just letting go of doing, of doing nothing, and of just being free from goals in our practice.
