Ajahn Brahmali: "We've All Been There: Planes of Existence", Dhamma Talk, Guided Med, Q&A 07.09.25

After a 30 minute meditation, Ajahn Brahmali gives a talk on Buddhist cosmology, taking the listener on a tour through the realms of ghosts, animals, hell, and various heavens. In the Q&A, he answers questions on evolution, the linear and cyclic nature of time, and whether we have to believe in the planes of existence to practise.
