Don't Be Disappointed | Ajahn Brahm | 29-01-2010

[@raymondfernando9514]

I am a born Catholic, but I always liked the teachings of Buddhism. I started listening to Rev: Ajahn Brahm,s talks and they are simple and inspiring. I like his style of preaching too. I wish him good health and long life to spread Buddhism in the materialistic world.

[@user-gj4hn1hl2q]

You aren't born Catholic you're raised Catholic. I was raised Catholic as well. From your name, Catholicism is very common among Hispanics and Europeans. There are many good moral qualities that can be taken from Christianity, but what attracted me to Buddhism is that it does not expect you to have faith or believe in anything. Buddhism suggests you find the truth for yourself. I e. Don't accept blind devotion, come to your own conclusions based on experience.

[@Melatheory]

Don't Be Disappointed, "Every problem has a solution and when there is no solution then it's no longer a problem" " let it go" "be mindful" Thank you for this teaching Ajahn Brahm

[@sachinthaherath4902]

[@sachinthaherath4902]

@P K As Ajahn says, you've been successfully 'brainwashed'🤣😂.

[@KevinLHart]

This is perhaps the talk that most needs to be heard by so many in our materialistic world. Thank you Ajahn Brahm. Thank you.!!!

[@clearskymind]

May all beings at ease. Well said, disappointment is stupidity- all we can do is to care for this moment and let go of the past.

[@jlodoeshotyoga]

I just found your talks. I cannot stop listening to them! Such wisdom and peace. Thank you for this gift 🤗

[@michelewills6755]

I agree with you 💯 👍 I have been listening to several of these special videos on all topics I discover parts of myself from every practice educational voices

[@sachinthaherath4902]

"Don't define anybody by their past." 😌👌 Simple but profound. Thank you Ajahn Brahm and BSWA!!!❤🙏🙏🙏

[@ittheepatt]

Still listen in 2022. Never gets old

[@qambi1]

I always play Ajahn's videos in the background while crunching numbers at the office..makes my day, everytime

[@martaeyore8234]

I'm not disappointed by this talk!!! Each talk is a treasure to me.

[@kanethompson708]

Me too

[@annguyenle2099]

Ajahn Brahm's teaching makes me laugh even in a moment of deepest despair and depression...and I had to agree with everything he says. It's amazing how his jokes bring so much joy and healing power...and make me understand a bit more about how ignorant and illusional I am, just as any other human...

[@AngelaAllen40216]

Ajahn Brahm's little giggle when he says something naughty just tickles me!! Much love to you Ajahn!!

[@robertw2930]

and doesn't think shit is a bad word either !!! NAMASTE`

[@helinturk754]

This is very powerful and inspiring. I was crying before I started watching this, however I feel optimistic and joyful now, thank you!

[@sachinthaherath4902]

@Helin Turk😌

[@bi0lizard1]

Just started exploring Buddism. I can't figure out why this stuff is so powerful? But it's power to heal the mind is undeniable.

[@danw918]

The Buddhist way of perceiving the world seems to cut through societies stresses, injustices and woes like a hot knife through butter.

[@tonyluan1391]

The talk comes head of time. So Brilliant my Great Teacher! Now Corona Virus teaches us how to swim to put our head over the water!

[@lucya8916]

I really would like to visit Perth, meet Ajahn Brahm as well as the monastic and Buddhist community there. What a wonderful message to hear at the end of 2019 and to go forward into 2020 with. 💖🙏

[@komaungmaungofficial]

Ajahn Brahm you are my new master,... I give my respect to you...!

[@robertmitchell8630]

when i listen to Ajan Brahm, i feel like this is how Jesus taught

[@sardha410]

Sorry to break to you Buddhist and Christ different religion

[@hacksandreacts3894]

Buddhism is not under the definition of religon.

[@harvardsmartass]

I love listening to him... you can't let anybody down cause u were never holding them up. woooow. I am so favored and happy to be a buddhist! :D

[@jonathanlee2099]

This was exactly what I needed to hear to be able to get through my current life problems, thank you so much :D

[@RayOnRae95]

47:26 "whatever your plan is, it won't work, it won't turn out as you wanted" I'm gonna try to remember this every time I'm defeated by the crippling regret of what I should've done and what would've been if I had.

[@indunilratnasinghe7446]

Dear Ajahn Brahm you are my anti depression pill!! Sadu sadu sadu!!!

[@newfilmtrailer7733]

Are you a sinhalese man? Oh my god.. you dont know what is your motherland.

[@Maria-tr3kf]

Very powerful and exactly what i needed now. 🙏🙏🙏

[@sirdystic8439]

Amazing, he makes so much sense. His thoughts on death in this talk are ground breaking

[@scotthankins6385]

ttuj

[@Ok-kh5qq]

I just want to curl up in his arms and feel his warm love.

[@nichole7965]

Love Ajahn Brahmn. Love his stories correlations and explanations.

[@KiloOneK1]

i come here to thank you with my hearth and soul ,this video changed how i see life i can now clearly understend it's meaning i really wished i could spend a day with this guy so he can pass me some of his wisdom and that i can thank him for literally saving me because i had too many expectations and no hope a life that i hated and now love, before seeing this video i wouldn't care if i would die the next day or in the same hour but now i do care but i know it can happen and if it does i'll die happy because i acept my past and i enjoied my life even though i'm still so young.

[@gerry2345]

I like this reply. This guy has such a great attitude to life.

[@zhuangxixing6755]

Respect please

[@marillavanbeuren7806]

As the COVID debacle gets worse and worse for many, your talks which are now the most important part of each day manage to give me some reason to keep going. You are so very wonderful.

[@justinwalker4475]

are you that shallow

[@justinwalker4475]

i loved covid the world got peaceful .

[@nannygoatj]

Honesty and humility and acceptance--not just for life, but for our own weaknesses. Thank you for talking about disappointment and how life may not turn out the way we hope, and about how to throw out plans and interact with life instead of trying to control it. Good lessons to listen to again and again.

[@user-tq3zd7vi6h]

No plans, thanks Ajahn Brahm for the reinforcement. I was just thinking today, before I watched this, not to have plans anymore because none of them worked.

[@vin919]

As beautiful as always, mind changing talk, just in time when I needed to hear this the most. Thankyou Thankyou Ajahn!

[@mindelae]

Thank you Ajahn Brahm -- this is exactly what I needed to hear today.

[@leomichelson4464]

I am hooked on your talks...thank you so much.

[@Miss_Annlaug]

I needed this talk. This puts the focus on the right thing. I have a tendency to go into fear and victim mode over my expectations ND it has been a negative force in my life its just like you said: it ruins happiness and saps energy. Well no more. The past few months I've had a bit of a attitude adjustment and this talk is useful to my mindset. Thank you for sharing this wonderful wisdom

[@MrJoeyhamster]

I read the title "Don't Be Disappointed by Ajahn Brahm" and I thought; who could be disappointed by such a venerable Dharma Master?

[@drkmlakshmipathy]

Right class on expectation..none other than Buddhist monk can clarify about disappointment ...Budha is right monk to be followed to know the reality of life and dessires...lots of respect from Chennai 🙏

[@joycemansfield2819]

I kept my first step for medditation because of ven Ajan Brahm

[@mrreddragon0000]

I am so glad I found your videos. I am new to Zen Buddhism and Meditation. I truly love your words and teachings. If I could move from America to Australia I would surely love to join your Monestary

[@virangyasenevirathne3165]

this is not Zen Buddhism :)

[@nichole7965]

mrreddragon0000 I know right. I would move there just to study and live for the teachings from Ajahn Brahm.

[@nichole7965]

Virangya Senevirathne right Ajahn Brahm teaches Theravada Buddhism.

[@CalvinLin19]

I laughed when he said about "Swimming" and just realized how foolish i was to be angry to the storm or the calm water. Instead i should learn how to swim.. Thankyou bhante.. may all being in peace.

[@malithiwijayathilaka1451]

The point of life is not to cure (change) but to care :)

[@loretheinexplicable6492]

Of course he's contributed to the wealth of the country. He brings contentment and a means to help deal with life's difficulties, making people healthier. Healthy people are better able to take care of themselves and are more productive at work. He can always argue that he's improving workplace productivity in the country. ;)

[@thisisbob1001]

I agree and around the world too.

[@2535Boonman]

Thank you so much Ajahn Brahm

[@jackgoldman1]

The new view. Beat expectations. Exceed expectations. Lower than expectations. Disappointment means doing less then expected. No expectations, no disappointment. Buddhists don't lower the bar, they bury the bar. Love it all just the way it is.

[@Rednuts142]

THANK YOU AJAHN BRAHM!!

[@adamscott]

Really beautiful way of looking at things.

[@kanethompson708]

🙏

[@yoon4063]

3:22 savage moment about Soulmate 😂 i needed this.

[@lamrimeater]

thankyou Ajahn Brahm!!! very insightful. this talk speaks to me especially right now!

[@mandystuart4909]

I lived much of my adult life without a plan (also without a spiritual life which might make a difference), my life improved a lot once I had some kind of plan, I was able to progress at work and get a better salary, and this gave me a bit of mental/emotional space to explore spirituality... I think some kind of plan can be really helpful in navigating this life, so long as it's not a concrete or adaptable plan.

[@issac7787]

15:30 "don't have goal, don't have the goal to be best speaker , that's not the point, wrong mindset"

[@alexdombrandt583]

[@yongsuanlin6255]

Love his talk.seen him in Singapore. Yeo building and evergreen temple.

[@yongsuanlin6255]

Thanks you reminded me. People expected too much that's why they are disappointed. But the worst is they are disappointed, but they transferred their negativity to someone who really love them. Well, thanks for transferring ; as it makes me a stronger "train" in life - be a visitor. 😃. God has brings kind person to me who show me beautiful and funny jokes in life. 

[@AmandaTroutman]

The closest proof I could offer would be to suggest looking to Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the research around that. A great deal of Buddhist philosophy has been incorporated into DBT and "Real" people not in a "Bubble" have been able to use the skills to improve their lives both personally and interpersonally, myself included. What he's saying here and has been echoed by psychologist Nick Salsman, is that expectations and judgments impede reality and can cause suffering.

[@0119alt]

i love his voice so peaceful....lol

[@manikemackee2549]

How lucky we are
