Ajahn Brahm - How To Smile Through Adversity In Life

[@complexionapplication8555]

I haven’t laughed deeply in months, feels nice to laugh authentically.. my mother is always mad, screaming and cleaning, she is diabetic.. it is good to get away mentally that is .. thank you

[@PracticerOfMetta]

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! :-)

[@einsteinzvice517]

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! ;-)

[@thetreekeeper143]

Ajahn Brahm's energy just shines.

[@lindacelenemorais5508]

Brazil is watching and learning! Imense gratitude

[@ianoian1]

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.

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 .

Great talk!!!

[@DonWoschto]

I played too many games and lost contact to real life for several years. Not just because of the games, but they were a symptom as well as a part of the problem.

[@remedyke1]

I was sick with hydrocephalus as a kid on and off for years. Mom used to ask me 'how's your head' and look at me all worried and I used to hate that!!!

[@2krandolph]

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.

[@uranusteeunknown7883]

[@BioStuff415]

The joking monk. The diversity of monks found in the Ajahn lineage is quite diverse.

[@normantjahjadi217]

BioStuff415

[@Thitadhammo]

BioStuff415 Ajahn just means teacher. Brahmavamso was taught by ajahn Cha and his pupils are quite well-known often enough.

[@thexinfactor]

What was the name of that delicious coffee-milk concoction?? I gotta have some of it!

[@damienpenglin]

I stopped listening for a while and lost perspective. Facing problems has brought me back and I wonder why I stopped listening. 😊

[@PaulGraneck]

Ukraine is watching too

[@phivanvo5299]

Hello sis ! I' m realy sorry about that.

[@bjcd4466]

i.m trying to find the tiger, snake and beehive in the well, story. The dripping honey story. anybody know which talk it's under? 😯

[@audreynguyen1713]

In "When everything falls apart" by Ajahn Brahm...maybe you've found that a while ago.

[@AYinNYC]

Did Ajahn say: Hihayana is how his tradition spelled out? 😂

[@lisajensen932]

❤

[@sniperclown6384]

In one talk, he talked about catching a "very bad guy" by cooperating with police and having SWAT in the monastery where the criminal was bald. Here he preaches forgiveness, here he preaches honesty, but he engages in deception?

[@Pedrerio]

Here brother clown, you're right! Now you can be happy ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/naO4fnmqo5iKjpIm55s

[@damienpenglin]

I attribute your comment to hard drugs

We don't believe in Archangel Rafael right? We're not Italian... Right?

[@phivanvo5299]

I realy love you❤ but not this ways.

[@sunflowerhk100]

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

[@phivanvo5299]

I'm not comfident enough say it all.

[@user-gj4hn1hl2q]

Why does this monk think he has the answers to life?

[@fingerprint5511]

Jealousy is a Kilesa. How sad for you.

[@jacobstromburg5803]

This is bullshit. Why would you smile non-stop? There are times in life when you should be angry.

[@yanminaung6225]

Greetings from the future, where, as an American, I can say conclusively that laughing at COVID has not made it go away. I’m trying desperately not to dismiss this dude out of hand for his terrible take on disease.

[@wootwootwoot32]

Laughing and not taking everything so seriously helps 😆 😂 😆 the Spanish flu was far far worse. Tell all your friends and family to get vaccines so this crisis can end sooner. America can end it if more people do what they need to do

[@mymontyboy]

Lol 🎉 nice chair 😅
