@Craig Drummond 😂 thank you
I love Ajahm Brahm budist stories ...they are easy to understand the profound teachings....he has saved me from the stress of this long pandemic quarantine...he is a great human being and I wish him the best of health and happiness. Bless You all
Thank you for your nice words. It’s calming my mind. Stay safe! We need you more with these terrible, uncertain time to think about the emptiness of the life. May you be better and healthy!
For those of us who listen regularly, we may notice several allegories repeated here. For me, these are a comfort. They ask me to slow down and listen, to learn something new. Good health to all of you.
My utmost adulation I extend to you, Ajahn Brahm. In a busied world, you are still; in so much noisy nonsense, you are a voice of calm & splendorous serenity. Peace to you abundantly! ;-)
~Namaste~
Thank you, Ajahn Brahm!

Thank you beautiful Ajahn Brahm for being here for humanity, so many blessings sent your way 🙏
I love the fact that the donkey story is always recited a little differently every single time 😂 Sometimes it's the tone in which the donkey whimpers, sometimes there are a few extra feelings. Sometimes he kicks the farmer, sometimes he bites him on his butt. Absolutely wonderful 😌⭐
“ Meditation is food for the heart.” Thank you.❤️🙏🌹
So much gratitude for these talks, helping to heal (in small ways or big ways) the suffering we see in today's world
Cannot deny the truth, the 4 Noble Truth!
May all beings everywhere be free of hatred, greed,delusion!
With Metta and Karuna to all beings!

So interesting that you mentioned Harvard as I live in Mass, USA. Wise words from my teacher, Ajahn Bramavamso. This time is full of teachings. 🙏🙏🙏
Sadhu, I agree this moment is the right moment for mindfulness, you can turn any bad situation into an advantage one,like staying calm with yourself and getting to know yourself more.
Thank you Ajahn Brahm

my daughter passed away on 13.4.2020. at 3.20 pm. i will never get over it.x
My deepest condolences. I cannot even imagine your pain. You will be in my thoughts and I will pray for you to find peace and even happiness through all the memories of your daughter and what a gift she was.
This donkey story is one of my favourites :)
People will sadly not look at covid 19 as our teacher bc of all the fear surrounding death
I come from a traditionally Buddhist country. The dhamma our monks preach is very different from the dhamma that western monks preach. They preach of magical snakes from snake kingdoms and magical mountain around which the sun and the earth revolve. I've always laughed off these sermons as delusions resulted by the watering down of Buddhism due to the influence of other religions. When they quoted the Thripittaka and substanciated these magical tales I thought they were downright lying. It was easy to come at that conclusion as there are many currupt monks in my country.
But one day I thought enough is enough and I started reading the thripitaka! They were not lying! There are many fantastical tales in the Thripitaka. I saw it with my very own eyes. They were as illogical as the Abrahmic stories. I'm losing faith in Buddhism very fast. Please help. Any helo is welcome.
Hi there! I hear your pain! Just sharing my own experience. The way I understand this is, it is best to stick to what the original Buddha words, Dhamma is. The other stuff came much later, additions by others may very well be with good intention, with hope to make it more attractive to ordinary people who like to listen to fairy tales (who knows true or not, no way to verify the source) depending on their level of understanding, take it or leave it no pressure just find the words of wisdom, the underlying wisdom nuggets, the essence of the story line.
For me the 4 noble truth makes sense totally, the 5 precepts guidelines, the Noble 8 fold path, Dana Seela Bhavana, Anattha, etc. the basics I understand and I know it is a practice, a way of life not a belief system waiting for someone to come and save me from the suffering and make it great again!
It is also beneficial not to panic! Seek peace from nature, serene surroundings, temple atmosphere, listening to beautiful chanting, listening to gentle Dhamma talks, with freedom to select whatever you prefer, whatever that helps to feel better, to find peace in the uncertainty
With Metta and Karuna to all
@@dy4667 I think Ajahn Bramali did touch on the stories that they were added on later. Also the Buddha "warned against blind faith and encouraged the way of truthful inquiry. One should maintain an open mind and thoroughly investigates one's own experience of life". All the Buddha taught was the Dhamma. TQ DY.
Applied method has yielded me best faith for Buddhism. Im a titled Lama. Id trade my religion in, on a heatt brat when refuted of its tenantse. Dônt ask to prove right, ask to prove wrong
Hey Ajahn Brahm can you give me a talk on my birthday? Which is the 17th of July? It would be the most greatest gift someone could’ve done to me rather than buying gifts.
I am Champagne thank u :)
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu /\ /\ /\
nirapekshathwaye maga at youtube chanal its very good
There are so many types of meditation/mindfulness. How do I choose which suits me ?
start with anapana sati, breath meditation, this is the grandfather of meditation
Listen on RUclips to Mindfulness in Plain English- it will answer your question. It is an audiobook that is a classic. It is terrific.
What if insomnia sleep disorder been huge part of life... How live with that? Meds red to help made things worse.

Why 9 thumb it down?
Ajahn Brahm I need your help. I was a devout Buddhist but I've always been a scientist. My rational mind automatically takes over any thought process. For years I was happy that Buddhism was very logical and scientific but then I started reading the Thripittaka and the canons contain a lot of stories that are unscientific and downright ludicrous. At one point I wanted to become a monk but since read the deega Nikaya I am rapidly losing faith in Buddhism. Could you please help me? This is causing me a lot of distress.
俺はそのロバです。めんどくさい。。。しょうがないなあ
Thank you, Ajahn Brahm
