Just like life....sand in our tea, roosters crowing, machines of industry invading, our inner peace disrupted. Our practice is to ignore the constant disruption. Pain is inevitable suffering is optional. Opportunity to practice the dharma is all around us.
24:13 "And they think they can change something..." "BBBBRERRRRR!" I will never again complain about noise in my meditation sessions. I used to think the odd car going by my house, was distracting, but this is on another level 😊
I like the way life without meditation is pictured...just runnig down our karma and then we go "home" to get another backpack (of karma). I wonder if is possible to get another " backpack " of karma during the same life if you somehow run that first one by being a practitioner of Dhamma! Is that the reason why we have so many ups and downs on our path? I also realize that this is an oversimplification of Karma but the immage is helpfull because is pushing me to practice more! Metta and gratitude, Eugene.
Eugene, agreed, but sometimes oversimplification helps to understand. Kamma is very versatile and there are many different talks about kamma showing it from different perspectives. Well think about it this way: Your backpack contains 15 sidebags. The mainbag is the strongest kamma, the sidebags are different kinds of kamma if you choose to go in a different direction. Think of it as this. You are on a crossroad The main and most comfartable and wide road lead to the city. You go this way, like most people and you will experience the kind of kamma of your mainbag. At any given time you decide to go to the meadows, in the mountains or in the forest. In each of the different locations different kind of kamma is awaiting you. Understood?
+Forest Dhamma Talks Thank you Than Ajahn, I am actually at a crossroad and I am glad to hear from you that if I choose a different road than a different karma awaits! I had this impression that I would have to empty my whole backpack of karma but now I see how that was making me a victim with no choise. Having the understanding that I do not have to go thru all my karma pack is a big relief! With metta and gratitude, Eugene.
@@ForestDhammaTalks it is so fortunate for this world a Venerable Ajahn takes his time to teach over the Internet for those who are far away. I hope Ajahn Martin lives long to keep this light to help so many. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu
I want to ordain as a monk....i am in vietnam but i prefer theravada to mahayana order....can some one give me advice where and what to do as a western practioner
can't you speak Vietnamese? or you know but you don't want to! if that is true of what I say, you shouldn't become a monk because you can worsen the religion by that idea. sorry for this straightforward talk
@@khanakim9550 what a strange idea! ...If he becomes a good Therevada monk -ie practises what the Buddha taught with a good teacher, he will be of great benefit to himself and the world

The chainsaw/motor engine at the end made me lose it lol

Please - the sound is very bad, is there anyway to reload this to improve sound? 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Agreed. I wish they could take the Roosters to another area during the recording. It is so disruptive that I can’t focus on talk.
@@johnboy6594 It's probably on purpose to help you focus on meditation and not on the distractions.
Though yes s a youtube video it is annoying lol

Sabbe satta bhavantu sukhi tatta.
One needs to make peace with the wild spirits of crowing, snakes, tigers, etc. while one is seeking for gems in the deep and wild forest.
and wild elephants ….

The body is the owner of retribution.
