Mistakes is the universes way of helping us grow and they are lessons that teach us wisdom. From that wisdom we gain we may be able to help others when they are on the path of making the same mistakes. Whether we just give guidance, advice or warnings to them. Nothing exists in life that isn't meant to teach us something, build our character. By acknowledging mistakes and embracing them instead of finding fault or blame, we grow spiritually and we learn to benefit from them instead of tearing ourselves down.

Thank you for uploading the Dhamma Talk by Ajahn Brahm, Special thank you to Buddhist Society WA.
Always a pleasure listening to Ajahn Brahm :)
Listening to his talks during my study breaks always leave me feeling re-energized and motivated.
Again Ajahn Brahm, I say thank you for today's message.
I love his talks! It's like listening to a friend 😌 thank you!
Welcome back! Love this talk....Thank you so much!
“.... 710 cap !!...” that’s a good one. I’m going to use that next time.
Thank you so much for this talk :)
I love your talks. Very much- they enlighten me more than words can say. Thank you
So pleased these talks are back. I gave a donation during your break. These talks are so helpful to so many. Thank you.
Welcome back, Ajahn! :D
SO glad you are back!!
So good to hear your voice again
Great talk Ajahn Brahm, welcome back indeed. One thing I liked among many was about not dwelling on the past trying to learn from it but instead the past being a torture chamber and prison, and focusing on the present instead.
Happy that you are back………..hooray!!!!
Great to have you back Ajahn Brahm and the talk was awesome :).
My mistake caused my pet's death. And Ajahn talks about simple mistakes but how do I laugh about what I did or didn't do which caused someone to die. I have guilt and grief. Because I loved my pet. I really did, I just cannot get rid of the guilt and sometimes when I get over the guilt, the grief hits me. I feel like I am vacillating between the two. I feel like I don't deserve to live. And if somehow I gather myself to start to live, I don't know what to live for. Cuz my dog was so important to me.
I know what you mean. There are different types of mistakes. I’m sorry that you caused your pet’s death, I also had a similar feeling when my cat died suffering last year because I didn’t notice in the days before how much he was suffering. I am personally going through a big mistake at the moment where I hurt someone, and I just keep telling myself that this is a painful life long lesson that I will learn from. Good luck to you, I feel for you. ❤️
this was amazing. really needed this. thank you :)
so happy your back
Quel joie de le revoir et l'entendre;merci !
Thanks
Nice to see you back dude !!!!!!!
Find it hard to laugh about Funerals and Death though......
Be happy and shine.....
I MISSED YOU SO MUCH~ :-)
Glad your back :-)
If something is really important not to mess up. Don't do it alone.
Set up procedures requiring at least three different people to triplecheck every point you can collectively think of checking.
If it's not important enough to spend that much resources, it's not really that important.
Awesome!
love you ajahn brahm you can do no wrong
Welcome Back!
Hoooo i miss you ajahn brahm ! A loot !
Oh my goodness i thought.... hes back hooray
thanks
I just wished my partner listened to this. I am to afraid to tell him anything becuase of the consequences I got before over tiny issues. Now i just lie my way out. And yes, I am trying to leave but mental dependence is a big thing to overcome :(
Hi benn listening to you for 3weeks now , starting to feel better about my self. Can you do a talk about greed ?
We all do stupid things we all make silly mistakes and we all say things in anger that we regret after its a natural learning curve we all face our mistakes make us human our mistakes are the keys to the lessons of life kicking yourself is not the answer any more.
This is a beautiful talk, and it's a topic that cannot be repeated often enough imo & ime. I think guilt and shame drive cycles of abuse from parent to child and partners and such. And the dysfunction goes on and on :(
I wish he would say why monks can't drive. Can they go swimming? If they're out walking and come across a lonely and beautiful lagoon, they can't swim or they can? What if it's really hot or they're dusty? Can they swim then?
Hi i wanna ask something...im from southeast asia so english is not my first language
Is mistake and failure basically the same thing?
see ya in hamburg soon......
I love you Ajahn!!! (Dreadful jokes too!!!!!)

LOL, shit happens but it makes good compost
Does AB ever get depressed I wonder.
When cooking with chilli, it is a mistake to not wash one's hands BEFORE, as well as after, going to the toilet...
I think Ajahn Brahm's intention is all well and good...
Although the think that he's forgetting; is that a large majority of people aren't emotionally or intellectually
intelligent enough to be able to "laugh at a mistake" in a non demeaning or denigrative way.
Nor are they otherwise mature enough, so as to *not* allow others'
mistake(s) manifest into grudges or "punitive vendettas".
Furthermore I've found that; those who "prod" or "sanction"
others to _fess-up_ are really just mining for gossip.
That's the most condescending thing I ever heard in my life. What does a person's IQ have to do
with their ability to learn from and to laugh at their own mistakes? There are plenty of intelligent people with personal lives that are less than admirable compared to their intellectual achievements. One of the reasons Ajahn Brahm became a monk was that he noticed that even eminent scientist at Cambridge, where he attended school, weren't role models when it came to their personal lives, and he didn't want to end up like them. Everyone is capable of growing. No one claimed the spiritual life is easy, but that's the point of these teachings.
Q: What does a person's IQ have to do
with their ability to learn from and to laugh at their own mistakes?
A: It doesn't, but it does when it comes to the person laughing at others' mistakes.
I am a huge Ajahn Brahm fan... have listened to all (most) of his recordings (pirate bay, youtube etc).
I meant that as constructive questioning to the reasoning if his logic. As laughing at others mistakes can often have/create very negative consequences/karma.
+1
I full heartedly agree!
Sadhu asiscoe!
_/|\_ Dear Ajahn Brahm,
Cochise was an Apache...a desert tribe. No buffalo at all around. Send them out to steal ponies from the settlers, if you want something that won't have the yanks yelling with laughter before the punch line;)
Just, he says that goofing off and ie blowing up a porta-potty is human, but I don't think many monks goof off like that. They have more self control
So would he be implying that self control makes you less human?
I think he meant unintentional mistakes.
Y
