I'm now 71. I'm a Lay Buddhist. I commenced Buddhist Meditation in 1981. I learnt it at the Thai Buddhipadipa Buddhist Temple in South London. I've now kept up Vipassana Meditation for 40 years.
I'm pleased to say it never leaves me. It is invaluable. And of course there is the now the realisation and experience that the material world combines with the Supra-mundane Kingdoms.
How lucky are we to have access to such warmth and calm!?!?
Thank you so so much for sharing your wisdom and your incredibly radiant, loving and healing energy with the world❤️❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️❤️
Dear Ajhan, today you touched on a very emotional subject about not physically being with a loved one while they’re dying. My father is dying and could leave anytime now. He’s in another country and I cannot be with him 😥. I have been sending him loving messages through my thoughts. Your talk has helped me so much. Thank you for love .
I am so moved by. This talk. I have listened to you for more hours than anyone else in my life for the past seven years. My partner of 40 plus years passed and my daughter,only child I conceived I lost 13 years ago at 13yo without illness or warning,but tragically after giving birth to her son of only 8 days. I was not present for the last moments of either of the moments they both passed on. Your talk today was so personal to me I felt as if I was the only person to here you. You,Ajahn Brahm were my precious gift from Buddha today and I will neve forget these moments of this talk and what your words have meant to me still here with my memories and my both grandchildren that they left here but knowing they are together to be with me every day and to always be with their 2 children left here with me. I am blessed in many ways and grateful to have found you,Buddhism at 71yo. AmenPeace and love.send
I am so grateful that I met your lectures Ajahn Brahm 🙏🙏🙏.
It changed my life a lot. To be here and now. I'm learning how to live like this. Thank you so much for everything. I hope that one day I will be in Australia to listen to your speech live and thank You personally.
Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱.
Tell me when you go because I would like to go as well..😀
Thank you very much Ajahn Brahm for your kind words of Wisdom. These are word of Loving Kindness.
Dear Ajahn Brahm, so wise so holy, so sweet and compassionate, thank you so much for this helpful talk - From a secluded place in Greece.
Sadhu.. Sadhu.. Sadhu.. for the wonderful Dharma talk.
Your talks have helped me so much in my life.
This is the best time for people who are bored, anxious, lonely or unhappy to get on with meditation. Since we have to maintain social distance and some may not have good company around, meditation is allowing us to nurture our inner spirit. And much more...
This was an amazing lesson. I feel so relaxed and in peace after hearing this. Thank you, Ajahn Brahm.
I really enjoy hearing you talk about peace, contentment, and all your talks. Thank you
NOW is the happiest time of my life.
@the universe takes care of meSame, I get you 🖤😊🌌
Always offering the best! Many thanks Ajahn Brahm
Just make me realise that I was saving, and waiting to be happy. I decided to be happy Now.
I loved lockdown too! Thank you for being in WA and your sharing!
Very good, even I'm a Buddhist with different language, Ajhan Brahm tero English talks were carried out very clearly understandble way for anyone to understand. Thanks for valuable Dhamma talks, looking forward to listen more Dhamma talks and teaching.
Dear Ajahn Brahm, Thank you! You are always an inspiration to me!!!
I have experienced a similar incident when my father passed away in India and I was in Canada. Early morning 4 am I saw him standing next to my bed, he looked like he used to look before he had his stroke. A few minutes later my phone rang and I knew that it’s the news that my dad died even before I picked up the phone.
How comforting for you 🕉💟
Not me 23 my life was pure hell 60 now getting there ..thats good only 8 years to total happiness

Been a follower of Guru Ajahn Brahm since I was exposed to his teachings at highschool
In this very moment, at least we have a fully belly, a place we can sleep at night, we have family or we have friends like family.
What more do we want? Sometimes, human beings want too much; we don’t know how to be satisfied with small things. Ajahn Brahm (I read these words daily to remind myself of your words Ajahn - thank you ♥️)
Thanks for the stream
zero thumbs down, that sums it all up....thx Ajahn, you're a jolly good munk!!
Thank you great talks
Thanks Ajahn Brahm

Ajahn Brahm

Bravo
I have an exact same dream. what a coincedence.
23 was probably my unhappiest time. Using weed and booze to find happiness.......
Could anybody let me know the title or where I can find the script of the blessing Ajahn Brahm chants at the end of the video? Would be very grateful :)
The research is nonsense and reminds me of the "healthiest diet" research" out there. At age 23 your brain is still developing until you are in your early 30's. At age 23 I was completely clueless and very ignorant.
John Bloom same here! :)
🙏🙏🙏
I am from outside Austrialia, but i wish i can meet him once. I wonder if that is possible.
Hey recorder... You cut it off a little too abruptly at the end 😏
1:04:53 Ajahn Brahm's chant for us 🙏🛐☺️
I know what your HEART is, sir.
Certainly,
aJahn's john's HEART beats both of us, at least BIGGER. Please show HIM that we're small fish.
Certainly.
aBsolutely.
nothing absolute
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💐
I don’t know if I’d like being charged a few thousand extra for a “feature” 😅
I'll get straight into it if you want me to, but I skipped that course back in 2005. Sorry.
I get so angry with ungrateful people trying not to it's my problem i know working on it
Should never complain about getting older some people don't have the privelage !
Being homebound is not the problem. Losing your life savings is.
ruby07241 - I would rather lose my life savings than one of my families life.

JESUS LOVES YOU ALL
And we love you😁
Yes indeed. We love you
Everyone give your life to Christ
Don't believe in Ajahn Brahm's Mumbo Jumbo it can't get you to Heaven. Believe Only in Christ Jesus and follow Him. Jesus is the Only God who created the Universe and Mankind.
Then why are you watching this?
