I used to get hung up on perfection in my work. I came to realize the same thing Ajahn Brahm stated -that perfection is unattainable, it doesn't exist. Nothing in this life is perfect nor is it permanent and you will run your head in trying to acheive perfection. I have changed my outlook to do "B" work - beautiful work. And in doing so, it makes me happy that my aim is to bring out the beauty in things rather than focusing on perfection and appreciating any "flaws" that make it unique. Try giving your best and however it turns out, THAT is perfection. Wonderful talk. Thank you.

Regarding “activism”: I always remembered John Lennon’s words in the song “Revolution”: “But when you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out”

Suddenly I got a video of Achan Bramawanso in 1979 , "Blue Eyes in Saffron Robes I 1979 I Wat Pah Nanachat I RTE Documentary", I loved to see the young learner at that time compared with the most recent preaching of the Great Monk. I learned a lot from this sermon as well. Thanks!

All respect to Ajahn Brahm my favorite Buddhist teacher. However, regarding activism, I feel that I disagree. The paint he mentioned thrown on stone henge was colored flower that can be removed and it is a symbolic act moreso than a violent one. Allowing things to continue the way they are will only uphold far more violence by allowing people, animals, and ecosystems to die to continue endless and unecessary growth rooted in greed. I dont think all activism should be violent, but I also am not quick to condemn those who do act violently. There are conditions that have made them feel that violence was the only or most suitable option because their voices were never heard. This is my 2 cents and I just feel that it is a necessary perspective to put forward in the midst of so many societal issues. All respect and gratitude to Ajahn despite my disagreement 🙏🏼

Watching his videos is the way to be peaceful. Listening to his talk to sleep is really working.

[@black_sheep_nation]

Buddsists monks are ok , they don' want anything from me.

The kid is not indigenous. That is an antiwhite slur. The kid is an Australian Aborigine. White Australians are Heritage Australians, the founding fathers. There was no Australia other than an un-named land mass until settled by White people. Thank You and much love

To talk about having 'no goals' seems strange. Surely someone who is ill has the (laudable) goal of becoming well again; someone who is homeless the goal of achieving a home; someone in poverty of having more money. Ajahn Brahm must have had the goals of achieving peace of mind and wanting to pass that on to others, otherwise why would he have flown from Britain to Thailand to study Buddhism, so many years ago? I don't see how having 'no goals' is realistic, or even consistent with reality. . . . And surely almost everyone wakes up in the morning with the (unspoken) goal of navigating successfully through their day. . . . However, when I go on holidays, then I set myself 'no goals'.
