My dear Ajahn brahm. I hope you receive this. I’m in Austin tx USA. I listen you you whenever I’m in trouble. You are doing so much to help me over the years thank you. Recently my husband says I want a divorce I said okay. I release all fear. I trust the universe to help me. And you help me to let go. Thank you.
You were on fire tonight Ajahn Brahm. My husband chuckled a lot. If you get sick of being a monk you can have a second job as a stand up comic. Love your talks (associate member).
Your voice is so peaceful
Eternal legend we all love him
Eddie, right?
We do and he deserves
Modest legend

Thankyou , like all your talks I resonate with everything you said. 🙏🙏🙏
Whenever I feel stressed, nervous and anxious I listen to Ajahn. Dear Ajahn your voice it self makes me calm! Thank you!
Ajahn Brahm talks really instilled faith and encouragement and strengthened our Dhamma practice like a dose of ENERGY DRINK !! 😇🙏 SADHU !!
I'm on the fence about "meant to be", but I can tell you, this is exactly what I needed right now.
Yeah, it happens like that sometimes, doesn't it?
My brother call this ‘living in the wreckage of the future’ so true! Love your talks! From Washington DC
I want to become a Buddhist nun because I think that I will help my beloved Peter more in this way than if I became his wife.
I have obstacles of thought after the last question on tooth pain experience. The Buddha emphasized the importance of maintaining health and well-being, which includes seeking medical help when necessary. In the Buddhist tradition, illness and physical discomfort are seen as part of the human experience and addressing them is essential for maintaining a balanced life.
If the Buddha experienced a toothache or tooth infection, he would likely seek appropriate treatment to alleviate the pain and prevent further complications. This approach aligns with the Buddhist principle of using wisdom and compassion to care for oneself and others. Buddhism teaches that while we should accept the reality of suffering, we should also take practical steps to mitigate it. Seeking medical help is a way to apply this teaching in daily life.
I guess the older monk ran out or had no medication, so, Ajahn gained his enlightenment of letting go then. Could go either way, but I guess the older monk foresees it 🤣
Seems I find you and just the one of your talks I need at that time in my life 🎉🎉thankful
This calmed me at 1am in the morning🎉 Indeed the greatest possession is inner peace
Thank you to the person who asked about attachment around pain - it was exactly what I was wondering about as I watched this talk. Thank you too to Ajahn Brahm for the answer.
everytime peace finds me I'm afraid to fall behind
南無阿彌陀佛
Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story.
That's not what you'd call "common" anxiety ;) Lower your breath. Train to lower your breath. Five times per day. It is a... "military" attack, if you want...? :)
Nicely done! This video gives a sample view of what a first time visitor to Thailand might experience. Well done Adam!
There were a few monks that were visiting back when I was sitting in our Sangha, and one of them said once "thank you for bringing your Zazen with you over here." Possibly my favorite all-time quote.
Ajahn Brahm is hilarious. He's an amazing and brilliant teacher

Yes. Cool. I like your work very much. Do you have discrete math papers? :)
It's all in the mind! Practise gratitude and mindfulness- Thank you Ajahn B ❤
Terrible story .. I didn’t like that grass hopper story.
Why not
Basis of Budhism is reincarnation and law of karma . The necessity of Budhism is impermanence , sufferings and concept of no soul . Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Stop yapping and go meditate.
If you sit in a robe all day in a quiet temple with all your physical needs met, what anxiety do you have?
Let's see this guy on a 3rd shift factory line for 6 months and then he can speak from experience
It's worth remembering he lead a lay life before becoming a monk. And that is not what monks do - they rely on the lay community for their needs and there are times in which the community doesn't or can't meet them. They also as he said spend a lot of time building and giving spiritual care to others. As someone who initially found talks like these when I was working hellish 3rd shift jobs, this advice was helpful. Then and now. I hope you're able to find what you need.
This is an effort of watching himself with the assistance of teachings of Lord Budhdha . Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
It was helpful to just let go of pain..? Yeah that doesn't work. @@TisiphoneSeraph
Ajahn Brahm is actually one tough cookie. He had it worse than a 3rd shift factory worker in his decade in Thailand as a monk. At least a factory worker can come home to a comfortable bed, varied food, and can take a small amount of vacation days. Monks get whatever they are donated, and in Thailand it was extra food from impoverished peasants.
Serious monastic life tends to be difficult and spartan, because the difficulty brings inner strength, spiritual strength.
Brahm lived in a monastery in the hot plains of northeast Thailand, where it is in the 90s (over 30 C) every day of the year. Of course, air conditioning was unknown. He had to wake up at 3 am every morning after going to bed at 10 pm, sleep on a hard uneven concrete floor, eat grotesque rural Thai cuisine every day (frog soup and fermented fish curry)... and never eat anything after noon!
He was constantly bitten by mosquitoes and had numerous run-ins with snakes. He had to stay up all night every full moon (uposatha days), engage in building projects for the monastery, wash and mend robes for himself and elder monks, etc.
Once as a monk Ajahn Brahm got scrub typhus, a potentially deadly illness, and was sent to the "monk ward" of a very rudimentary Thai hospital, where needles were constantly re-used. The nurses did not check the monks during the night shift because "their good karma will protect them". His teacher came to visit him, and told him, "You'll either get better, or you'll die."
Then, he was sent to establish a monastery in Western Australia. Land was purchased for the monastery, but they had no buildings, so he had to sleep outside in the weather, using an old door as a sleeping platform. Then, he had to build the entire monastery by hand, even though he knew nothing of how to build.
You can quit that job anytime you want
Got some beer
He is trying to explain budhism ,Which make one phsycologicaly stronger . 🙏🙏🙏Thanks
Hello. Keep your best piece for the end game, mate. Hah. Yeah, look-it-up, now, quick. Far out. It's good table manners, it is common sense, it is folk wisdom. That makes me a little concerned here.
Lets see & hear Eddie give a talk!!!

Yea, I'd love to hear his talk. Maybe during rains?
