Ajahn Brahm shares a story from his youth about getting lost in mist while hiking in Scotland, and uses it as a simile for the path to enlightenment. He explains that we can follow the path by focusing on what brings us peace, happiness, and freedom, and letting go of attachments and possessions. The speaker then mentions his simple lifestyle as a monk and the importance of emptying the mind to find peace and freedom.
