Monk on the left at the start has strong arms! I bet he shares his gift of strength in charitable deeds
Ajahn Brahm, thank you so much for your teaching. What exactly do you do at your cave during retreat? Only meditating? How is it going to be beneficial to you and others? 🙏🏼
Sadhu. Sadhu. Sadhu.
This is how I felt after listening to the whole talk in one sitting. I have come down with a terribly painful form of influenza. It is not easy to comfortably concentrate on anything. However, I only realized this after Ajahn Brahm finished his talk. That says something about the power of his words, which he shares with us out of compassion. I realize that my past good deeds are paying off. But what about my sickness? Is it a result of my bad deeds?
Amazing I have had the outer body experience just like you explained. It was when I was about 12 years old.🙏
I had the same around 10 y/o. Peace❤
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The noble eightfold path is the end of suffering...
Fresh young blood always helpful. Like Casillas in '99...
Thats why my husband drinks alcohol so everything stops for him for a while.I can judge him, but its his personal choice. I am learning.
😅😅👏👏👏

34:00 when senses turn off
When you are in a blissful state of not wanting anything (in Meditation or any other circumstances), actually you're wanting something: wanting nothing ELSE.
I mean, you want to stay in that state.
Only if you just experience the feeling, but don't care about losing it, would it be NOT WANTING.
Well, maybe I'm wrong, but that's my opinion...
Woulda... coulda... shoulda... Buddha...
Why is it so hard for people to understand that "My book is true because my book says it is true" is not a valid form of reasoning?
Definitely not Vajrayana. There's a problem with some Buddhism where true detachment breeds complacency. Hence why Neo Confucianism and Zen took off. There's also a misunderstanding of what happiness actually is. To meditate isn't to become happy. Happiness is a by product of success but contentment is far more renewable. Meditation is discipline to live in the present. Wants and desires are as part of nature as the hunger of an animal in a forest. Orientating your actions towards self development and benefitting society is far better than extremes of ascetics, celibacy and human detachment.
Blue Pill) you go to a place of worship where everyone looks like the extremes of Daoism. Only trying to soothe, little to no building and waiting for life to end.
Red Pill) you carve yourself into an individual worthy of kindness and benefits everyone through your actions as much as your words, to embody the Kami Vajrapani
It is call a rhythm of life old monk ...
Human is all about energy and growing old 🧓 and moving on.. so simple..
Yet planning and a fair amount of strategic planning must be implement within every stage of life..
Old Monk .. hmmmm..
Creepy about women as objects
Must have gone right over my head because I've watched this entire video through now and could not find what you are talking about
Bimbos? 🙁 Wow.
does the word upset you? almost all modern women are "bimbos", so why would this term thats applies to tens of thousands of millions of women in 2023 make you upset? your not a masculine man , your not a traditional woman... your not a successful parent.. so why would anyone care about your dislike.
Ajahn Brahm doesn't teach anything like what the Buddha taught...
Does this pantomime ever end.. this is a rhetorical question, it goes on as long as mankind believes they are a person( fictitional character..imposter) walking through time and space with a history..the movie on the SCREEN.. and these so labeled Buddhist are just characters in a movie.. muddying the water.. Who ever you think you are, you are most definitely not....so many emperors with no clothes..pandemic of podcaster gurus....silence the only word which at least acts as a pointer.
Oh wow! I don't think the bimbo comment is very buddhist 😒
Not very inspiring the other monk’s posture 😢
Everyone cant stay in that same position
@@kaveesha3213 But everyone can use a chair. First time in my life I see a monk reclined on his back and legs strengthened with feet pointing to people while listen to the Dhamma, sorry, maybe it’s a cultural thing
We can’t know, maybe he has some condition that causes chronic pain and that’s his antalgic position, maybe is the only way he can sit without unbearable pain. It could be. I understand you noticing it, I noticed it too
