Jason Stanley yup whenever I am so sad or upset I listen to these talks and I find myself laughing uncontrollably and feel light as a feather. he is amazing
Jill Mcelfatrick I was a 67 yearold very depressed Irish woman living in Greece. Having found AB with his compassion forgiveness and understanding I am a joyful 16 year old with hopefully more wisdom. Blessings.
Ajahn brahm, more than anyone, has taught so many people how to be human. How to just live and be at ease. He’s a really good person. Im happy the world has people like him.
Most wisest monk I ever come across.He didn't beat about the bush, but within this short speech he made some core principles for a leading a wonderful life .Now my job is to expand on those principles to practice.OMG he taught a lot in a small speech.
Wow. Mind-blowing. Thanks Ajahn Brahm. Wish you paradise Incha'allah ta'ala. and Happiness in this world. It's hard to accept the harsh reality, that one day we may all become crippled, sick, homeless, poor... but accepting that, is really the only thing we can do. Our biggest power comes from battling our greatest fears. This takes enormous courage people. May Allah safeguard us all.
+Destiny108☆ I'm catholic, but this guy wisdom and kindness reaches far beyond any religion. Its really great to see that muslims or people from any other religion that buddhism can benefit from his teachings. Thanks for your post, love&peace :)
Buddhism is not a religion, " it is a way of life", if everyone were to follow his teachings, the world will be a much better place. Sowing good seeds as cause result in reaping marvelous fruits as effect. Giving away little would bring considerable in return. To help others is to help yourself.

What's fun is seeing all the many things that work that contradict one another. This is a great counter-point to all kinds of other presentations with similar outcomes for different reasons using the opposite approach. One person's medicine is another's poison. It would be nice if presenters acknowledged that the opposite of what they say is also true in different situations - but that is rarely done.
first time i have listened to Ajahn, he tells some odd tales, but hey he is referring to the dharma underneath and it sounds like it is working for lots of his students. We need these different styles of teaching. I did like the KIndfulness term, and the reference to happiness having become something of an obsession.
6:16 "If you want to stay ahead of the curve, we add something more: KINDNESS. And if you add kindness to mindfulness you get the latest buzzword in psychology "kindfulness". So don't just be mindfull, be kindfull. Now what that really means is , yes you're aware, but you've got some responsibilities, some duties. Be kind to whats going on." ruclips.net/video/8XPDCGlP630/видео.html#t=376 ***** Mate, this is what is called REAL "Developer Relations"! So glad you went 10x on that :)
The story Ajahn Brahm tells from 31:00 to 34:00 is the greatest story I've ever heard in my entire life. If you want to hear more about shit like that check out *****.
Ajahn Brahm confirms why it is so important to not follow any leadership, but to think for yourself. The reason there are fewer women at google is that it is a tech firm. A very successful one. They hire the best people. Affirmative action is reversed sexism. It is very harmful and discriminative. Just hire the best people for the job regardless of gender/ sex and you have true equality and fairness and are the best you can be.
Funny because lately I've been thinking what if our gadgets could respond to us when we swear at them. Like, "Please do not speak to me like that. I.m processing as fast as I can!" lol
This Dharma talk is a classic. Some of the things he talks about may seem inappropriate, but they are Buddhist teachings, even the part whee he talks about "shit".
I have positively known for years now that cars get mad when you yell at them and call them names. Wanna turn your car into a piece of junk? Keep calling it that. Ferreal.
Loved the whole talk, including the poop story. LoL, The world would be a much more beautiful place if we could all learn to see the beauty in our shit.
Great idea to invite Ajahn Brahm. However, I felt somewhat disturbed by bit condescending and "supposed-to-be-funny" style of the person doing introduction. And those silly two fingers above AB's head when the introducer was walking past behind him at the beginning of speech.. Of course none of those would ever matter for Ajahn himself, BUT- for me it is very important, whether one cares about maintaining healthy distance in presence of person deserving respect.
Agreed. The person doing the introduction did not show Ajahn Brahm proper respect, and was downright disrespectful with the two fingers above Ajahn Brahm's head.
alex campbell Gee, you must have the threshold of experiencing one's buffonness set up pretty low- on the other hand (even) IF Ajahn would be really as you call him - how do you find the person introducing him? And how did AB "invited" anything from him- himself being invited?
Strange. I heard a ton of praise. So much that he may have felt uncomfortable, as he doesn't want to be a celebrity. So, then he humbles him with jokes. Sure, they are familiar, but that is because they are friends. That doesn't equal disrespect. Ajahn Brahm isn't into being put on a pedestal. It is refreshing and it makes one think out of the box. Which is exactly what he is into.
Wait a minute! In this speech ad 2015 he is saying miastakes are second to useless. In his recent talks Adjahn allows making mistakes as a tool for wisening. The latter is much more enlightened, though I wish he had thought over the scope of what he was to say.
The rule back in Buddha time stated that a female monk has to be ordained by another female monk (and male by male respectively). Unfortunately there was a time when the sect Ajahn Brahm was ordained in, ran out of female monk to ordain more so it was by technicality discontinued. This means that Ajahn Brahm decision to ordain female monks which has led to his “Excommunication” was technically breaking a few rules. Mainly that the female monks he helped to ordained was ordained by a female monks of different sect. Which broke another rule that monks of different sect ought not to hold congregations together. Therefore, Ajahn Brahm was excommunicated. But in Buddhism this just means that they from then on acknowledge that his and their temples are from then on a different sect. In a way saying that he was freed to do what he wishes. This system was part of old agreements between sects of Buddhism to avoid conflicts. In this way both sect can practice their own beliefs and keep their own rules as they see fit.
google male staff have yet to go to work in womens wear. ajahn brahm raised 1.5 million from this visit to google for female monks in santa rosa to buy a home.
I remember him saying its near impossible for buddhist monks to get mad and how ultimatelly, been offended is a personal thing. not implaying you should go talking trash tho... so yeah, one could say to his face "Hey Braham, your shit has helped me" and he will smile :D
I heard his lecture in Hua Hin where he said that "If raped, did you ever think you were lucky?" Then his challenging grin. I didn't walk out or call him a jerk, but maybe should have. Tamboon Mr Brahm. Shame on you!
Another option for providing 'gender equity' would be all males employed by Google to quit in protest. You know, because the good of the many. But what if gender equity is a crappy goal? You don't want the most qualified people to work in your company? Oh, you don't need it to be competitive. I see.

Venerable Acharn Brahm is an inspiring speaker, not only for the buddist community but for those wanting solutions to everyday problems.

Genius, perfect speech

I like the people sneaking in front with their lunch
This Dharma talk is a classic. Some of the things he talks about may seem inappropriate, but they are Buddhist teachings, even the part whee he talks about "shit".
Ajahn means teacher in Thai language, thank you

Sadhu Sadhu Saaaaaadhuuu ❤️
Wandana wandana wandana sadhu sadhu sadhu.

I have positively known for years now that cars get mad when you yell at them and call them names. Wanna turn your car into a piece of junk? Keep calling it that. Ferreal.
So true about anger.
Don't muddle mouthfulness with mindfulness.

To me its about escapism, from life.

Brahm invites disrespect because he's a buffoon

He didn't say not to make mistakes. The ponit is to be kind to even the mistakes that we are bound to make.
Parable of the empress and the monster: apply to James Damore.
The Tasmania incident reminds me of Susan B Anthony's trial for voting. Glad it worked down under, at least.
What is the issue with female monks having full status? What are the arguments for and against and thusly the reasons for expelling Ajahn Brahm?
The rule back in Buddha time stated that a female monk has to be ordained by another female monk (and male by male respectively). Unfortunately there was a time when the sect Ajahn Brahm was ordained in, ran out of female monk to ordain more so it was by technicality discontinued.
This means that Ajahn Brahm decision to ordain female monks which has led to his “Excommunication” was technically breaking a few rules.
