- Ajahn Brahm reflects deeply on the idea “I am not good enough”. Are you good enough? Why is that we always think it’s not good enough?
Ajahn talks about how you can never satisfy the reach of what other people ask of you and to stop worrying about what other people think of you and trying to please others.

When I'm ill or stressed I listen to Ajahn... he is so calming and makes me feel so positive. :)
He is a great teacher. We should rejoice that we have him
Same with me
I was there. Amazing meditation and speech!
coooool
Thank you for your talk Ajahn Brahm
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu….🙏🙏🙏
Come for the Dhamma, stay for the jokes! Love you Ajahn!
I love you Ajahn! Thank you for showing me that the negative thoughts in my head are not only in mine. That I'm not alone in constantly feeling like I'm failing to the point of never being able to celebrate my achievements. Finding compassion for myself seems to be so much more difficult than finding it for others.
Thank you Ajahn Brahm for these wonderful talks making Buddha's teachings so accessible and practical. Love the jokes and the stories! Each day I try to take at least one advice and apply it as the main practice of my day.
I have the flu and feeling miserable. I don’t like taking flu medicine so I listen to Ajahn Brahm. He makes me laugh! 😝 I guess he’s my medicine.
Thank you Ajahn Braham for your wisdom and Buddhist Society of Western Australia for sharing these talks.
I enjoyed what he said about horrible bosses at work. He’s absolutely right! we only have to deal with horrible bosses while we are at work. They have to deal with themselves for 24/7!!!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏
Amazing Ajahn...thank you for your kindness...
I think this is THE BEST TALK I ever listened to! -out of many!-
Already listened to it twice today and will listen to it again!
exactly what I needed.
many many thanks Ajahn.
felt the same!
Very nice. thanks for sharing Luisa.
Thank you and Much Love from the Philippines❤
Thanks Ajahn Brahm for your wisdom and compassion
Love you Ajahn Brahm. Thank you for your kindness and wisdom thru' these great talks.
Discovered Ajahn Brahm's discourses yesterday and I just can't stop listening to him. Thank you so much for these talks, amazing. I just took my second 10 days of Vipassana course at the end of December and I am working on my path as I found it very beneficial.Quit smoking,too :) Which was amazing as in those 10 I basically forgot I was a smoker :) Not once I felt the need to smoke one. So, yes learning, practicing and trying hard to forgive myself :)
Thank you - even the first minutes already so good and helpful 🙏🏻💜
Thanks for another wonderful teaching.
I want to make people aware of dementia and Alzheimers. If you or a loved one may be "changing" in ways you do not understand, please go to a doctor. My mother was changing, and our wonderful doctor has helped her gain many years back with therapies to help her dementia slow down.
Robin Williams had Lewy Body Dementia. In his autopsy, they said he had more Lewy bodies than they had ever seen.
Be wise. Seek help from kind people if you need it.
How you treat others is how you treat yourself.
Wonderful talk! Thanks Ajahn Brahm.
I feel like I'm the only one telling me I'm not good enough...directly, anyways. It's sometimes hard to see how people are pushing you to improve.
you are good enough
Thank you.
Ruan Coetzee you are very much enough and always enough
he loves it when he gets a table
Thank you, Ajahn.
Such a sweet wonderful spirit
Thank you!
Sadhu Sadhu Saaadhuuu ❤️
truth is highest. Robin Williams was struck down with a brain disease called diffuse Lewy body dementia or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) that took hold of Williams, and probably led him to suicide. One feels he made a ultimate self-sacrifice to save the mental torment for his wife, family, and friends, knowing he would be a burden for their mental wellbeing having to care for a body with no memory, even the simple use of using the toilet which was to be forgotten eventually. His love shined through of the characters he portrayed. Peace, Love, Compassion, and Happiness for all Sentient Beings.
I will take the one on the right :) cute smile,another wonderful lesson Ajahn ,looking forward to more of your wonderful words,thank you x
Sometimes Ajahn Brahm reminds me of Marvin from Hitchhikers guide, when he does his depressed inner voice thing
You Excel!
The Ricky Gervais of the Buddhist world

When i train ajahn brahm is like trainer for me this World is not good for ppl like masters
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
my question is regarding all the sacrifices made by Lord Buddha in jathaka stories. like vessanthara jathaka etc. what can we make of them? thank you
You don't know kitty kits. My kitty always loved snuggles over anything else! :)
All human beings are perfect, from conception to death, behind the eyes. All human doings are flawed, imperfect, making mistakes, achievement gaps, for all their life from birth to death outside the eyes. I am not the human doing or the human being. I am the middle path. Get it?
I have to fake it in many situations. And yes, it is a terrible way to live.
Lord Byron Fake it until you make it.. I hate it also
We couldn't watch this video live on Friday. Some IT problem I hope with BSWA website. Even this uploaded video has stops. I checked with live chat and others said that they too have the same issue. Is it still under construction?
Ravi Fernando u a Goan,bro?
Mike Berg he should be a Sri Lankan definitely
suneth silva oh yeah of course,Portugese landed on the Buddhist isle of Lanka.
Kindly Tell me the endings of that "7 monks in a cave story".
i am really interested to hear the endings of that.
Thats Really Awesome !! 💐
Thank You So Much For The Information... 👍
Actually, it was the other way around. The head monk loved himself and his other monks so much that he could not sacrifice any of them. Not even himself. This great love and respect for all life is what inspired the thieves to become monks as well. I hope this helps :)
They fell in a hole ..... fortunately it was a bottomless hole ...... eventually they stopped being scared and pretended to fly..... and they lived happily ever after
He mentioned eating one meal a day. Do monks really eat only one meal a day? If yes, at what time of the day?
amiroarrr During previous talks, Brahm mentioned that his monks (perhaps other Buddhists, too) do not eat during the afternoon or evening.
Yeah, it’s not mandatory for eating once a day someone eats twice as well but who practiced strictly he eats once a day, but monk can’t eat after noon (12 pm)
amiroarrr Ami,monks in Buddhist countries eat mb 9am after theyve walked around on thier alms round giving blessings and accepting offered food,they come back to the temple n share out n mix up the food.Monks are not allowed to cook,buy,or grow food.In a western country Annagarikas,white robed lay volunteers who live in the monastery,or other lay ppl cook the food thats donated or bought w donations from the lay ppl.
Cric Lover , all Buddhist monk eat breakfast around 5:30 or 6 a. m. and meditate either walking meditation or sitting meditation then share love and kindness to all existence then do some chores later heading to either neighbours or around the villages / city to get lunch. Later they all shared their lunches with their temple monks then share love and kindness to all donors who gave food. During they ate their lunch with mindful and meditate then do some cleaning with mindful meditation then walking exercise then teach meditation to villagers or all devotees. Pay respect to Buddha share love and kindness to all existence then before going to bed. During the sleep the monks sleep with mindful then falling asleep.
So which monk died???
vitamindubya..... the munk to the Right🙊
STrock Music I didn't remember that part. Maybe I spaced it haha

I am drunked today and Masters can count on me
Yarrrrr 50 strokes of the cat!
please do not cut off the 15 minutes meditation, is it possible to leave it there with the talk?
Ewa don't expect expectations become to flaws
is the monk on the left Ajahn Brahmali?
No.
Yes ..Brahmali just went for facial reconstruction... ha ha ha ha ha !!!!!
Just Joking.
“... Loopholes ...” !🤣🤪
That monk on Ajahn Brahm's left. Loosen up! :D
im not sure that's an appropriate comment. There aren't many monks as at peace and as happy as Ajah Brahm, the monk you mention has gave up the householder life, and deserves respect for how serious he is taking his training. You dont even know what struggles he is going through. Imagine when youre next stressed you cant be around your family, or put the telly on, or have some junk food, listen to some music, have a drink, have sex..... it takes a long time to balance a dedicated monastic life with the humour and freedom of Ajahn Brahm. Hence his title, Ajahn (teacher).
his voice is unbearable but strangely enough i still listen lol
Why Not Now I like his accent and I can listen to his talks all day!!!
well you would definitely appreciate my rich sexy deep Scottish accent then :-)
I love his voice so much! Isn't that funny.
Why Not Now Brahm is a natural born speaker. Words seem to just flow out of his mouth without thinking about it. He can talk and talk non-stop without a script. When he tells a joke, he knows how to deliver it .... and laughs right along with us.
The useless monk is on the right hand side
Why would you joke about a suicide. Not funny.
