He describes how, by being mindful of coarse objects in our everyday life, we can develop virtue and joyfulness. In meditation we can refine this mindfulness, and bliss arises. With ever finer objects, wisdom arises. Symon was a monk at Bodhinyana monastery from 2002 to 2007. He currently teaches the Dhamma school for children at Dhammaloka Buddhist Centre at Nollamara, Perth, WA. Symon leads a half-hour guided meditation in Ajahn Brahm's very gentle style, then develops the idea of a progression in the relationship between 'you' and the 'objects' that arise in consciousness, from the coarse to the very fine. He describes how, by being mindful of coarse objects in our everyday life, we can develop virtue and joyfulness. In meditation we can refine this mindfulness, and bliss arises.
