im totally new to all this. been watching a few of Ajahn Brahm's videos. i woke up yesterday and felt rather low and lately my mind is so negative about stuff , been feeling angry and stressed. i first decided to have a long walk with the dog in the country side, got back and watched a few of these videos and even tried mediation for the first time. i actually ended up feeling much calmer and even quite joyful by the time i finished. cannt believe how quick it had an effect on me. amazing. thanks!
This guy speaks so much sense,and makes me smile when he says things that I already think,such as why have big houses,fast cars etc I'm so glad I've found these videos,they're fantastic ..thank you
AB is spot on. I wasted my life (62 years), money, time trying to please others. And in the end, it wasn’t good enough ... I was criticized and laughed at. But now I’m here. Listening, watching and learning Dhamma. However, I have no regrets. As AB says ... I was an IDIOT. Totally stupid.
Wow.... the timing of watching this video could not have been more perfect. I’ve been having trouble motivating myself lately and could not understand why. I didn’t even look at the title of the talk until 10 minutes into it.
It comes down to this:Beware of the dark side-anger, fear, agression, the dark side are they, easily they flow quick to join you in a fight. Once you start down the dark path forever will it dominate your destiny. Consume you it will, like it did Obi-Wan`s apprentice. Ajahn Brahm reminds me of Yoda :)
Thank you Venerable for all your Dharma talks you have shared on RUclips. Through your expedient means, your teachings have been clear and profound to many including myself. Namo Amituofo 🙏🙏🙏
I agree with the point of the car, I think the point he was trying to get to is people over stretch themselves with loans etc just to have something others will be impressed by.
It shouldn't be despiriting that each talk was worth 5 cents. If all people on the planet bought it, it would be 7 billion times 5 cents = 350 million dollars! :) Ajahn Brahm would be a multi-millionaire.
I'm not sure I totally agree here. You might get a big house because you live in a wet climate and you want room inside for your kids to run around and have fun.
i think some people like Bill Gates, Branson, they love to achieve, they get a buzz from achieving their goals, nothing wrong with that. who doesn't want a buzz?
Love all his jokes...don’t lie it then don’t listen..keep the negative comment to oneself....if one cannot add to the conversation something useful then best be silent
Yeah I agree but dont take things he says so seriously seems he says things like that to make a point....but yah often I think that he could make less general sweeping comments like that... but nobodys perfect.
What a stupid simple minded thing to say...getting a big expensive car makes you an idiot or to show off? No my friend some people buy these thing simply because they like them, saw one as a kid and thought...one day..then they could make there childhood dreams come true...they admire the craftmanship..just because you chose a simple life dont knock others..open your mind up
Ajahn Brahm is unique. He make Buddhism so easy to understand. I listen to him everyday, he changed my perception of life, and my life as well.
me too :)
I don't understand why people make it so difficult to wrap our heads around. we're fortunate to come across monks like this!
He has done these things for me as well. I love him very much❤️
I too begin every day with Ajahn Brahm. I am so grateful to have him in my life.

I really hear you and I'm almost 70. Still trying to please "everyone" and so few notice my effort but I pay dearly.

He is really a great teacher. I to follow these talks and they are truly life saving.

Sadhu sadhu sadhu 🙏🙏thanks a lot for your motivational talk it gives huge energy to overcome
My motivation in life now is freedom ... freedom from the cycle of birth and death ... from this hamster wheel life that goes nowhere.
Thanks, this is helpful
This is so relevant to what is happening in Hong Kong now.
another insperational talk from the great man
The 35 dislikes are Lamborghini owners.
I like how he says "lamborjeeni"
I agree with the point of the car, I think the point he was trying to get to is people over stretch themselves with loans etc just to have something others will be impressed by.
Love these talks... Lambogeenie :D
Sadhu Sadhu SADHUUUUUUUUUU ❤️
It's all good again, thanks!

The imagination of Ajahn Brahm in a strech limo is dearly funny.
Please subtitled in Spanish or English
thanks
I wish I could hear the questions and not just the answers.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

What does it have to do with this site/topic?
yes good session:)
I like how you make me lahp
Lamber Genie!
We're im-Perth-ect.
could somebody say to Ajahn Brahm that it's pronounced LAHM-BAWR-GHEE-NEE? Thanks, by disgruntled Italian!
Bassfully just for this one I will listen to his pronunciation again ...
he's more enjoyable than bob ross's happy trees.
CPS Chimney liners Sims Haha yes!
people buy nice cars sometimes simply because they like it, like a toy! it's not necessarily to impress others.
It shouldn't be despiriting that each talk was worth 5 cents. If all people on the planet bought it, it would be 7 billion times 5 cents = 350 million dollars! :) Ajahn Brahm would be a multi-millionaire.
M Cool math bro
@Bassfully
How he said it is how it's normally said in English, apart from it should be with a hard "G" not a soft one - gheenee not geenee
:)
I'm not sure I totally agree here. You might get a big house because you live in a wet climate and you want room inside for your kids to run around and have fun.

lam bore genie
hahah I know I keep laughing when he says that
+Aaron L Lol maybe he intentionally pronounces it that way because you have to know someone who can grant wishes in order to afford one.
I want to have breast implants in my knees so that I can kneel down anywhere! :D
i think some people like Bill Gates, Branson, they love to achieve, they get a buzz from achieving their goals, nothing wrong with that. who doesn't want a buzz?
Allahu Akbar!
1001orpheus Islam is a violent and murderous totalitarian ideology
getting stuff can be a reminder of your successes, not always to brag??
hmmm defensive...be more attentive
great talk A-B. You have so little interest in Lamborghinis that you cannot even pronounce their name!
That joke about the Middle Eastern man in Perth was not compassionate.
ObamaoZedong he's not perfect
I did not think it was funny either.
Ah well, allot of his jokes don't land but love his dharma none the less.
Love all his jokes...don’t lie it then don’t listen..keep the negative comment to oneself....if one cannot add to the conversation something useful then best be silent
