please spend an hour of your life to listen to the great wisdom of Ajahn Brahm .we are all so lucky that these talks are available to us all. i d like to wish every one love and happyness.
I will never be able to fully express my gratitude to this wonderful man! I listen to him almost every day. He helps me to feel calm n grounded at the beginning of my days and he helps me thru so many difficulties on a regular basis. When I find myself getting upset I remember his words and when my memories are not enough I listen again. Even if only for a few minutes he helps me center in a way nothing else ever has in my entire life. I love his laughter, his "corny jokes" and how he draws one in to his stories which teach such good lessons. About 16 mins in he says i put loving kindness between me and that bastard over there. So real and so true no fairytale packaging. Thank you again Ajahn Brahm for changing my life and thereby all of those around me💞
아잔브람님, 깊이 감사드립니다. 최근에야 스님의 존재를 알게 되어 더 일찍 알지 못한 것이 아쉽지만, 그래도 이렇게 십여년 이상 지난 영상들도 유튜브에서 볼 수 있으니 감사할 따름입니다. 재미있고 유익하고 감동적이고 꿰뚫는 진리가 담겨 있어 참 좋습니다. Ajahn Brahm, I deeply appreciate your talk. Just lately I happened to know of you. It would've been much better and more helpful for me if I knew of you earlier though, I am so grateful to be able to watch even old talks like this on RUclips. I really like your talks which are funny, helpful, impressive, and truth-penetrating. So many thanks!!!
This talk light up my day, now I have enough positive energy to start a new day afreash again. Can't thanks enough, wish to see you in person one day and pay my prostration, sadhu sadhu sadhu!
Good happy day, i am just reading Ajahn Chah¨s LIVING DHAMMA book and is amazing how similar are they styles of interpretations based on simple example.Well the Master who is teaching Masters.Well done Buddhism. With Metta
I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have listened to you many times. I think there's a lot of fear in religions but Bhuddism does not teach fear. You teach things that my parents told me anyway since you coincide a lot with ordinary people. You teach a wonder, respect and joy in every day life.
I have to thank you, because these videos are quite important to me. I work as a graphic, and while I work I can listen to the teachings. I really appreciate them. I do not know how to thank you, but at least I can say so.
there is no tailor made remedy for each and every difficult situations.that we face day to day life ,but with use of wisdom in a compassionate way , we may achieve peace and happiness. thank you AJAHN BRAHM FOR YOUR EXCELLENT TEACHING.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom in these videos. I appreciate hearing this and have had some a-has. I have wanted to learn about Buddhism for awhile since I had an introduction to it at an art therapy conference in 2013 in Seattle. I don't live in Washington and am still researching about the different organizations. Can you recommend a Buddhist Society in Georgia by chance? It seems there are several organizations.
After getting enough knowledge from bible n Quran n my friends teaching me a lot about islam....for me i found Buddhist is the best religion that suits me. You can follow any religion but it has to satisfy you. My friend says God will punish me because i know islam but i rejected it. I would care less about it coz i believe in consious mind and energy, compassion n wishdom...wish you luck with your islam religion. May peace be upon you.
what i learnt from this talk is, that whatever you did in the past to drive your freinds away, you must deal with your problems like a man, rather than dwell in the past and make everyone hate you, you see i have done things that i am not happy with, but dudes i am dealing with those problems rather than creating new problems, you see i got bullied because i made a few mistakes and that made me scared of life, but in my own mind i never told anyone, cause at the time i deserved it, i was aidiot
Skilful means in an unequal power relationship is to inform, legally charge if need be & detach with your feet. Skilful means is staying safe around anyone who has a narrative that abuse & DV in its many forms is a “relationship problem” when it’s a strategy of power & control.
Hi Ajahn Brahm :), I just have to say this, it sounds like at around 23:00 on this talk, the baby in the back round seems to be imitating your tonal vocal inflections, a possible little future monk, or at least a good public speaker,
+Jenny Jacobs Your mind must be focus. Don't think of the past. Try practice to have a clear mind. Try to feel the air you breath in n scent it. Breath out scent it. It work for me.
i wanted to be cool but in the back of my mind i was hearing Steven Bradley"s loud laugh from the days i was abducted and murdered as Graham Thorne, i am dealing with all this by remembering the good times by doing needle work and be the first man to thread a needle properly
Perhaps 'thought' isn't the most helpful word in this context? Alternative words could be 'intention' or 'resolve'. For instance, if we say "may all beings be well and happy; may all beings be free from suffering". The 'may' here suggests a strong intention/resolve is being cultivated (one of the factors of the eightfold path)
@tigernov6 I don't believe Buddhism would say REFORM the killer.. Buddhism would say compassion for all beings and forgiveness.. "reform" has to do with the killer themselves changing their own life.. not anything from the outside forcing it.
Interesting that this guru has tons of long form videos up here, while all the gurus with books out, Marianne Williamson, Eckhart Tolle, have all their long form stuff vacuumed off this channel...must be the money they're losing.
I know now it was the wrong thing to do, but dudes, i was just trying to fit in with the hotshot cool people and show i wasn't shy, but i know now there are consequences of my actions while doing that, you see it wasn't just Coke, i went into pubs and i gave some men a few punches and one man offered to buy me a jug of beer, and he ended up abusing me, just because i took a sip at his precious jug and now when i walk past there they say i am a little shy boy, but really mate,
the truth is they didn't understand me and i left the pub never to return and i threw down a six pack of beers down my gullet.(Australian for Stomach) and threw each bottle down on their precious ground and went home thinking i had the last fucken laugh, but my voices made me feel worst as i am dealing with shit, cause all that is not in my character to do all that, and i can't get away from that little shy boy that i thought i was being treated like as a kid, the problems was a previous life
In Buddhism there is no creation of human beings,no rebirth.Buddha has told us you are the one who create yourself.For example you give somebody 100$,you will be given it back in present or next life.If can follow,It is the best unrivalled to you all.Books of Buddhism can be read by all on earth.
you see i used to go to the pub try to be a TV director and i wondered why people were teasing me, i was saying i am a man, a working man and in my break from doing my TV shows, i went to the pub ti muck with the people there, but one dude teased me, and i wondered why, but he was a man and i was fucken cramping his style and i robbed from a man who was being my friend just because i was under a dillusion that i would be mucked with if i took his money and bought the beers without sharing
i have tried to point out an article that can help you to start discovering the true nature of your mind. you have, on the other hand, pointed me to a video of more hearsays and speculations, which cannot be verified, and which indeed can be refuted through the suttas. i can point out suttas where the Buddha explained the concepts of Gods and creationism, but that is probably pointless. i leave you to judge your wisdom on this matter yourself. thank you.
But even a muslim doesnt have to do what Islam says. It doesnt matter what you are if you are human you can decide what is good and what is bad for yourself.
@Alexisme1001 How would one go about proving rebirth? To presume that the recent invention of the scientific method and direct observation of phenomena as the ultimate means of understanding the universe is inane, dogmatic, and pretentious.

Ajahm Brahm is a very interesting monk. Not exactly what one would expect, but quite wise and helpful.

Can he do some more podcasts. My workmates are showing an interest and it the only way we get to listen to him at work.
If you want just the audio, you can use the Videoder app on an Android device to download and save as mp3.

Lol that crying baby is 10 years old now 😸
was she ok? :S i suffered from anorexia myself....i hope she was.
@tigernov6 That is the personal position of most of my fellow Americans.
Can you explane why I always one up in tears when I do this meditation/prayer.?
+Jenny Jacobs
Your mind must be focus. Don't think of the past. Try practice to have a clear mind. Try to feel the air you breath in n scent it. Breath out scent it. It work for me.
U have pain inside u.. its ok to cry.. be kind to urself.. I was crying non stop when i was at retreat after i broke up with my partner..
i wanted to be cool but in the back of my mind i was hearing Steven Bradley"s loud laugh from the days i was abducted and murdered as Graham Thorne, i am dealing with all this by remembering the good times by doing needle work and be the first man to thread a needle properly
maybe im being alittle naive but how come we use "thought" to cultivate metta when in other meditation wer trying not to think
I have heard that we use thought at the beginning, and when we are experienced, we are simply radiating metta outwards without thought??
Perhaps 'thought' isn't the most helpful word in this context? Alternative words could be 'intention' or 'resolve'. For instance, if we say "may all beings be well and happy; may all beings be free from suffering". The 'may' here suggests a strong intention/resolve is being cultivated (one of the factors of the eightfold path)

I wonder what happened to the anorexia nun....
the truth is they didn't understand me and i left the pub never to return and i threw down a six pack of beers down my gullet.(Australian for Stomach) and threw each bottle down on their precious ground and went home thinking i had the last fucken laugh, but my voices made me feel worst as i am dealing with shit, cause all that is not in my character to do all that, and i can't get away from that little shy boy that i thought i was being treated like as a kid, the problems was a previous life

Oh, come on! I can't be the only person that found that incessant throat clearing/cough REALLY distracting.
The cough is not the problem. It's our relationship to the cough!
