Ajahn Brahm is a inspiration. Watching his RUclips videos has been motivating to me. Would like to see him make more cd format versions of his audiobooks. He has a calming and reassuring voice so would be an asset to his audiobook for him to do the reading of them.
He.LIES and he KNOWS he's lieing AND DOES IT ANYWAY. Your FAILURE to question his statements is an affront and offense to all the Buddha said. And hypnogohic flashes on the brain are NOT "other worlds" so please setup passing off Delusion as truth. You're starting to act more like a cult with a cult leader then spiritually responsible people. And that's sad.
Thanks for discussing regarding for Bhikkhuni's opportunity in Australia. Thanks for Bhante Ajahn Brahm to support nuns and keep continue to protect the Sangha. You are wonderful Bhante!
Hi @Jenny Tran, this discussion pertains mainly to Bhikkhunis in the UK (where I am based and trying to establish a monastery, see www.anukampaproject.org) but of course, what has been done in Australia already is outstanding!
Theruwan saranai 🙏 Such a great discussion. 👍 Very useful for people who had some problems had their answers here. Thank you very much Ajahn Brahm and Venerable Canda and Sisters who organised this. It is nice when we organise programs like these, especially during the pandemic because some people are missing their loved once.🙏
Thank you Ajahn for restoring the true spirit of Dhamma. Misogyny (unconscious fear, aversion and prejudice against women) in many men needs to be talked about. Thank you Ven.Canda and mentioning the need for diversity in Sangha. May the Noble Sangha arise in all four pillars.
Through lots of meditating I became proud of becoming the most toxic masculine man I could be, so much, I decide to become a monk like Brahmy, and segregate myself from opposite sex in my life, I have no regrets thus far, trying to eat only before noon is harder than the celebacy, but alas, the nagging is gone lol, I can now meditate in relative peace
Thank you wonderful people for bringing to humanity a higher vision & possibility. An expansive, inclusive vision with an open heart full of wisdom & mutual respect, care & kindness. 51% of humanity are women & Buddhism is for all. It seems archaic to put restrictions due to gender to teach the dharma to humanity that seems to be crying out for it. The argument against is like a smoke screen for the deeper reason that none are strong enough to say the true reason. It’s very threatening for some people & they may not even know why?
I'm not particularly against women becoming bhikkunis for any personal reasons, but I have heard much talk about the Buddha wanting this, like it was his inspired decision. In fact, according to the Vinaya, he was very much against it, and rejected his step mother who eventually went to the venerable Ananda, who was also rejected by the Buddha. Afterwhich he did a little truck to get the Buddha to concede. But, it was not without consequences, which the Buddha made very clear, as well as the reasons for those consequences (see Cullavagga, Khandaka 10, Chapter 1). I wonder why this has not been brouht up and discussed...
Rule no. 1 if you’re becoming an Anagarika at Amaravati in England - NEVER talk about the Bhikkhuni issue. It has been completely erased from discussion as if it does not exist. Nobody ever talks about it except lay people who might ask, for example, “Why are the female monastics lining up behind the men to get their food?” But even where lay people raise it with monks, they get frozen out and treated with hostility. And as for Ajahn Brahm, he has been ostracised and shunned. Before, he would get invites to Western monasteries, but he has since been completely outcasted.
As I have heard, that it is not quite right to say or believe that there's just 227 or 311 of vinaya rules per se as we all have been told to know. When it goes really deep down in vinaya's detailed introduction there, in fact, are 139,083,36,500 vinaya rules being in total there as taught in Buddhism. Any truth? Budusaranai
@@y9w1 I'm glad to read your response. I have wondered about what it would be like to shave my eyebrows & I think eyebrows are quite useful since they can prevent sweat from irritating the eyes. This is not about vanity so I see no need to be without eyebrows.
Though I agree with the sentiment. This sounds like two inflated egos attached to an ideal of something and it really disappoints me. I don't believe Ajahn Brahm is what I used to think he was.
Ajahn Brahm is a 100 years ahead 🙏🙏❤️🙏

When is this inspiring nun needs to lose those eyebrows... go all the way!!!
No they don't. Eyebrows are good where they are. It's not in the vinaya, it's just a Thai cultural thing to shave them, and it's awkward.
