How They Meditate – Ajahn Brahm

The Jhanas – States of Meditative Absorption

September 23, 2026

This is part of our series How They Meditate, covering various meditation teachers and their styles. Visit https://OneMindDharma.com/howtheymeditate to see all episodes.

Ajahn Brahm is a senior Thai Forest monk, although his monastery was stripped of its status as an official Thai Forest monastery. We discuss that more in this episode.

His teachings center on his idea of the “beautiful breath.” Unlike the first three episodes of the series, Ajahn Brahm focuses on jhana, or states of deep concentration. His teaching style is humorous, light-hearted, and centers on letting go.
