Phra Dan (Bhante Dhammarakkhita, Bhikkhu) is a Theravada Buddhist Monk who lived in India from 2020, Thailand and now Sri Lanka. Born in Sussex, England in 1967. Educated by French Catholic Monks. A successful businessman in Estate Agency and Financial Services during the 1980's and 90's. Married, now divorced with 3 adult sons. 2000 marked change and travel including South Africa returning to the UK in 2003 to continue different work and business activities until 2012. Gradually materialistic values turned to renunciation, simplicity and meditation, living nomadically in an old Ford Transit van full time for 3 years. Van life and meditation led to Buddhism and a Thai Forest Tradition, Theravada Buddhist Monastery in the UK. During 2015 travelling the Buddhist Holy Sites of India, deep faith reinforced desire for Ordination. In 2020 after 5 years of intensive meditation practice between Thai Forest Monasteries in Thailand and England he was Ordained in India where he lived for 3 years until returning to Thailand in 2023 and now Sri Lanka.

Narcissism can be the result of a deep wounding or attack on the individuals self or ego usually during childhood usually by a loved one or parent. Keeping this in mind may help you to have compassion for such people.

@@englishmonk liar :).
@@englishmonk y pi want to know what is beyond death. Isn’t it. But you brother choose to hide and pretend to be some one. :)
Buddha was affairs what you doing. .
Only Anantha felt very hard and never went far. Even when muni Buddha was there. Why ? Culture. Ritual. Emotion. And many more. :) I came back. Is it ok. 👌
Am changing everything. I should be in place where no one knows and heavily protected. 😆 haha 🤣 🤣
Fate is my mother. Haha 🤣 haha 🤣 haha
I walk the god of dharma who is death. Fear. His knees tremble.
But we have to be in the cycle to respect the cycle. Bother. :?
No
You surrendered. I crossed the seven mountains. I know how. Am the source. But I went there ⭕️
If something clicks to just bring you back to my brother good as mother intended. Just cuz you faced pain. I smiled. And stood on pain. And walked in patients. Into the pain and the god of fear. Bhirav 👁️
Even the god of fear want to help me.
Brother. I did for us. For us. But you ran and went behind a cult ? All are disappointed at you. But am there bother. Ask.
Aum and the 5 elements.
Adhiyogi. The first Buddha :) just few years ago but in terms of humans life how many thousands of years. :)
Wake up. Don’t make me come there. Brother.
@@englishmonk brother she is coming to remove you head. But the only person who is in between is me. ☺️ she is weak :)
Brother wake up from your survival mode.
@@englishmonk I will be there when you close your eyes. This is just a heads up. Cuz last time you got so scared. So it’s ok. Am there bother. She js also there. But I have compromised her. :) but am the one using her for war.

4:23 not guarding the senses, is that not being mindful?
I sometimes feel an internal battle when being mindful of desire or aversion, something inside wants to either grab or engage the body and senses, or to push away with fear, or engage and attack or bite with anger or rage.
Only with sufficient distance or calmness or detachment can these tendencies be seen through, but this level of calm is hard to maintain in lay life.
I am making more time for sitting meditation and anapanasati through your daily inspiration.
Thank you for watching and your comments. I will talk about this in a Q&A's video coming soon.

Thanks, always a wonderful chat.
II look forward to hearing your answer to my inquiry. However, it wasn't recreational drugs that caused my clarity, it was psych drugs and steroids for said interactions.
thank you for your clarification, be happy and stay well
Thank you!

No shadu. This is not the time. Now we are in the period of change from one yuga to another yoga. Or one timeline to another time line. It is good for the future. But many will suffer. If they are holding on to the past. 😅
I like the past. When I was mediating. I closed my eyes and went back I time. Back in memory. . Back to two years. Back to 5 years. Back to 10 years. I cried. All I lost. I went back to until my mothers womb. Hey 🔥 👁️ 🔱 😊 .
This is not the time. Alert all the monks. To SURVIVAL MODE. She is coming to swallow. Devi 🙏
Many will be slowly gone. Many monks will be gone. Don’t get me wrong. 🙏 many kinks are fake. 🙏
I am only here for him. BUDDAH. 🙏😊 no fear. Just jump. 😊 fear comes if you doubt. Fear comes from thinking mind. 🙏
KRAP 🙏
This talk Bhante, thank you! Asavas, I will investigate. Blessings to you and I hope your abdomen, ankle and tooth are all well.
You're welcome it's my pleasure and all is well. Be happy and you too stay well.
Good talk Phra Dan thanks. In the event I missed a talk about a question I asked recently I will ask again. Why do Theravada Monastics refer to their situation as a career?
Yes, already answered at some length. It's not a career.

Thank you Bhante. I was wondering why ignorance is included with greed and hatred. It seems to me that delusion is created through no fault of the person that is ignorant. For example: a monk disrobed. He says it was because of his overconfidence in his abilities. But he also stated he thought he had absolute clarity of mind when he took the vows. It seems disillusion is not always because they are not following the five precepts. Arent there are hidden ideas in our subconscious that sometimes sprout into full blown missteps. In conclusion it seems ignorance is unavoidable even with practise. Anger greed we can certainly see the effects and are much easier to identify. Why are all 3 together?

Hi there, I have a question I'm hoping to understand better. Recently I've found Buddhism through a series of life situations and recently with this genocide in Gaza, witnessing so much suffering, I started helping families there and even just talking to them because they currently have no hope and even just sending them messages helps them. So part of my journey to Buddhism has been opening my eyes to realities in the world. But if I express this in Buddhist spaces I am silenced or blocked or deleted etc. Should Buddhist spaces not be accutely aware of all the atrocities on Earth and be open to having them mentioned? I have been so happy to find Buddhism but also I've felt excluded and unwelcome all because of talking about my path to get here. If Buddhism is this closed off I guess it's not for me, but the principles all make sense and practicing generosity is also part of it or what has lead me here. So it feels very strange to be silenced. Appreciate any insight.
Thank you for watching and your comments. I will talk about this in a Q&A's video coming soon.

@@englishmonk Thank you so much! I look forward to your insight here. Much appreciated 😊🙏
@@englishmonkHi Bhante, I just listened to your recent video and no worries and no rush, but was curious if you could help me with this question I posted. I'll make it more concise here... It seems tragic worldly events are not welcome if mentioned in Buddhist spaces, is this true and if so why is that? Thank you! 🙏🏻
My guess is that the cat is biting and scratching because she would like to be petted. So it's her craving, trying to bring into existence a relationship in which the monk reacts to her and pets her. It looks like that she is teaching herself that she may not be petted, but she may be invited to be close and enjoy the warmth of the monk's loving presence. It looks like that is, indeed, her practice. And she may break those fetters in this way. I'm moved by seeing this.
This is correct, felines will rub themselves on their human friends in search of affection. They bite or scratch gently to initiate playing, and it becomes more obvious when they are among other cats, who will play bite and play hunt eachother, which starts with a gentle nibble.
It means she is very comfortable with our venerable sir!

I don’t want to be rude a monk. 🙏
Things are bloody changing. Many are going to die. Teach something thing related to the present things to stupids can relate. 😆
@@englishmonkfor me. I look at you as a life. 👁️ nothing more than I look at a prostitution lady. 👁️ there is no morals. There is only evolution and technological to evolve. Use agori 🤫 evolve. Everything will be gone soon. You are not great but a dust 🤫 .
@@rjclue2630people are supposed to die. Things are changing in every moment. You appear to understand what the Buddha taught about that. Bhante is teaching us how to accept this without aversionand without panic and without apathy. You need to actually practice and put effort in, its not a process of osmosis. Meditation is the tool.
Hi Bhante, I have a question about Sila. I’ve heard you say that when taking the precepts, it’s necessary not to lie, even down to something like “do I look fat in these pants” because it will be difficult to meditate knowing you lied. Are white lies inherently harmful to you karmically? Or would it only be difficult to meditate knowing you lied because you have a model in your head that a white lie is breaking sila?

Many will die soon. Many will fight each other and women will go mental. Soon.
But they are not humans 🤫
I died already. Am not Iam. But I know what the hell is going on and where I come from and where I will go.
Who is the deva with flames 🔥 coming from his hand 🤚

Answer. Moon 🌙 creating all this. Isn’t it ? The red goddess ? Tell me what you read. ?
