    I have friends & family that are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic and more. I learn from them all. I enjoy Ajahn Brahm's humor and how he teaches. Practical ways of looking at life regardless of a person's faith. I share because I love everyone and I think all might benefit from his thoughts, humor and stories. God bless you!
    Do not forget to give monks healthy food! :-)

    I love the sense of humor he keeps; it is something I've always incorporated in my own outlook. A week without my Ajahn Brahm would be like a week without food! I count him among my "necessary ESSENTIALS" & certainly among my BLESSINGS! ;-)

    Been following him for years - love his jokes - here's a Zen one:
    Q: What did the Zen monk say to the hot dog stand vendor?
    A: Make me one with everything.
    Q: What did the vendor say when the monk asked for change for his £20 note?
    A: Change comes from within.

    Opeining your heart so wide and deep that all suffering and pain can step into your heartspace/chamber of love is truly a worthy goal.
    Thanks for the talk Ajaham Brahm!!!

    I like Botanical Gardens : they're'nt manufactured , they are collections and preservation of rare plants , and it is most restful to me to find one in a town , never miss the chance to visit them , as much as I like , and miss forests where i am now in dry southern France my name sylvie is linked to forest as forestry in French is called : sylvieculture . Keep well ! Thanks for all the jokes and good things You take the time telling people .

      Parents worry about their children because they love them and want them to be well and happy. It's annoying, even to me now when my mom fusses over me , but I've come to appreciate that I'm loved and leave it at that.

    He is very funny and a great speaker for sure. No wonder the man offered him the job as a comedian. But for a Buddhist talk, I don't feel like I got much out of it other than just having an evening of fun and laughter. And I find some of his jokes not very buddhist, alluding to stereotypes, eg. The joke about not marrying a beautiful girl but an ugly girl. I wonder if I am being too serious because nobody seems to mention this in the comments
