[@robbiepeterh]

Wait til you discover chocolate or orgasms: even better.

[@pratcus]

Most wisest monk I ever come across.He didn't beat about the bush, but within this short speech he made some core principles for a leading a wonderful life .Now my job is to expand on those principles to practice.OMG he taught a lot in a small speech.

[@MsRockzz]

Ajahn brahm, more than anyone, has taught so many people how to be human. How to just live and be at ease. He’s a really good person. Im happy the world has people like him.

[@BroccoliRocks]

Thank you Google for making this talk available to the public.

[@briane5467]

[@patriciahiley7237]

could sit and listen to him all day - so engaging with a fantastic sense of humour. Long may he reign

[@bradgarrison7256]

I really always enjoy listening to his talks. I don't know sometimes about "religion" and everything else. But he is great, and helpful!

[@acharn4817]

Venerable Acharn Brahm is an inspiring speaker, not only for the buddist community but for those wanting solutions to everyday problems.

[@MemoryGray]

With bows of gratitude! 🙏🏼 Sadhu! 🙏🏼 Sadhu! 🙏🏼 Sadhu!

[@thowihla6625]

May all beings be happy, may the Buddhist rule prevail.

[@retoschar9974]

I love him!!! No matter what he says, he makes me laugh

[@NeoExHades]

Wow. Mind-blowing. Thanks Ajahn Brahm. Wish you paradise Incha'allah ta'ala. and Happiness in this world. It's hard to accept the harsh reality, that one day we may all become crippled, sick, homeless, poor... but accepting that, is really the only thing we can do. Our biggest power comes from battling our greatest fears. This takes enormous courage people. May Allah safeguard us all.

[@tomaszcodasz]

+Destiny108☆ I'm catholic, but this guy wisdom and kindness reaches far beyond any religion. Its really great to see that muslims or people from any other religion that buddhism can benefit from his teachings. Thanks for your post, love&peace :)

[@kalumprasannaHW]

I am srilankan Born buddhist but i never came across a Monk of this caliber before .Buddhism is not a religion A Philosophy.

[@vincenguyen2210]

His talked help me a lot for my anonymous stress, anxiety, nervousness and sleeplessness, calm me down, bring lights into my life, Thank you

[@Unbreaded]

I wish I knew Ajahn was in America while he was here....

[@anaalaya]

Thank you so much. Your talks are precious. Ajahn Brahm is the most humble and humorous senior monks who I have ever encountered. ♥

[@SandraLovesSun]

He is the reason I need unlimited internet.

[@aneq2310]

Me too 😂

[@buddha715]

It will be make your life more positive

[@Cchhaa88]

Thank you Ajahn Brahm for this wanderful talk, really hits me hard

[@victornoagbodji]

[@jayatewari1272]

अब जो समाज में ज्ञान दे रहे हैं वो शान्त रहेंगे प्रश्न हम पूछेगे।कि तुमने पड़ा या प्राप्त किया, तुमने माना या गहराई में खोज की। इत्यादि।

[@danerose575]

What's fun is seeing all the many things that work that contradict one another. This is a great counter-point to all kinds of other presentations with similar outcomes for different reasons using the opposite approach. One person's medicine is another's poison. It would be nice if presenters acknowledged that the opposite of what they say is also true in different situations - but that is rarely done.

[@jennytan2301]

Buddhism is not a religion, " it is a way of life", if everyone were to follow his teachings, the world will be a much better place. Sowing good seeds as cause result in reaping marvelous fruits as effect. Giving away little would bring considerable in return. To help others is to help yourself. Constantly chant : Namo Amitabha Buddha

[@complexionapplication8555]

I absolutely love this!

[@beejh6206]

first time i have listened to Ajahn, he tells some odd tales, but hey he is referring to the dharma underneath and it sounds like it is working for lots of his students. We need these different styles of teaching. I did like the KIndfulness term, and the reference to happiness having become something of an obsession.

[@CraigTalbert]

The story Ajahn Brahm tells from 31:00 to 34:00 is the greatest story I've ever heard in my entire life. If you want to hear more about shit like that check out *****.

[@noveltyrobot]

It truly is one hell of a story

[@MaryLeighLear]

Lol I love Ajahn Brahm but that story always grossed me out... I guess I have more to learn!

[@donkey.PoorlyDonkey]

6:16 "If you want to stay ahead of the curve, we add something more: KINDNESS. And if you add kindness to mindfulness you get the latest buzzword in psychology "kindfulness". So don't just be mindfull, be kindfull. Now what that really means is , yes you're aware, but you've got some responsibilities, some duties. Be kind to whats going on." kzbin.info/www/bejne/bomzdXZ9obVpaZI#t=376 ***** Mate, this is what is called REAL "Developer Relations"! So glad you went 10x on that :)

[@RamonMORALESCASTEL]

Thank you Bhante ! I follow almost all your talks from Venezuela. This one helped me a lot. Thank you.

[@Tridib_Tinkel]

❤️

[@LizUelmen]

Funny because lately I've been thinking what if our gadgets could respond to us when we swear at them. Like, "Please do not speak to me like that. I.m processing as fast as I can!" lol

[@JohnSmith-pw3yw]

Ajahn brahm is my anti depressant

[@aneq2310]

For me as well xx

[@LizUelmen]

[@jakubjezovic]

Genius, perfect speech

[@riteshshaw8582]

Sadhu Sadhu Saaaaaadhuuu ❤️

[@aduhaneh1057]

26:16 this bit was hilarious. his humor is so effortless but really good

[@SonicPhonic]

This Dharma talk is a classic. Some of the things he talks about may seem inappropriate, but they are Buddhist teachings, even the part whee he talks about "shit".

[@CoolGirl007]

Ajahn means teacher in Thai language, thank you

[@MWcrazyhorse]

Ajahn Brahm confirms why it is so important to not follow any leadership, but to think for yourself. The reason there are fewer women at google is that it is a tech firm. A very successful one. They hire the best people. Affirmative action is reversed sexism. It is very harmful and discriminative. Just hire the best people for the job regardless of gender/ sex and you have true equality and fairness and are the best you can be.

[@Robert-il5db]

hmmm, dat was good thanks Arjan. im planning on visiting you in Serpentine one day and maybe meditating there. ❤️👊🏼🌱

[@acajudi100]

So true about anger.

[@LizUelmen]

I have positively known for years now that cars get mad when you yell at them and call them names. Wanna turn your car into a piece of junk? Keep calling it that. Ferreal.

[@CoryAgMusic]

loved this but in his other videos he says you learn far more from mistakes than with successes.

[@LNatNPL]

I hope to meet you in person, Teacher Ajahn Brahm

[@harkhashakya4892]

Wandana wandana wandana sadhu sadhu sadhu.

[@wernertrptube]

Don't muddle mouthfulness with mindfulness.

[@wiwiastuti2717]

[@johninman7545]

He's great natural healer. Always humorous He's just like Hotai,the big tummy Buddha of the future Metreya

[@TheSkypetrus]

Great idea to invite Ajahn Brahm. However, I felt somewhat disturbed by bit condescending and "supposed-to-be-funny" style of the person doing introduction. And those silly two fingers above AB's head when the introducer was walking past behind him at the beginning of speech.. Of course none of those would ever matter for Ajahn himself, BUT- for me it is very important, whether one cares about maintaining healthy distance in presence of person deserving respect.

[@chicagoman58]

Agreed. The person doing the introduction did not show Ajahn Brahm proper respect, and was downright disrespectful with the two fingers above Ajahn Brahm's head.

[@nzrdb6]

Brahm invites disrespect because he's a buffoon

[@TheSkypetrus]

alex campbell Gee, you must have the threshold of experiencing one's buffonness set up pretty low- on the other hand (even) IF Ajahn would be really as you call him - how do you find the person introducing him? And how did AB "invited" anything from him- himself being invited?

[@VOLightPortal]

TheSkypetrus They are good friends

[@SandraLovesSun]

Strange. I heard a ton of praise. So much that he may have felt uncomfortable, as he doesn't want to be a celebrity. So, then he humbles him with jokes. Sure, they are familiar, but that is because they are friends. That doesn't equal disrespect. Ajahn Brahm isn't into being put on a pedestal. It is refreshing and it makes one think out of the box. Which is exactly what he is into.

[@LizUelmen]

The Tasmania incident reminds me of Susan B Anthony's trial for voting. Glad it worked down under, at least.

[@MWcrazyhorse]

What is the issue with female monks having full status? What are the arguments for and against and thusly the reasons for expelling Ajahn Brahm?

[@prechabahnglai103]

The rule back in Buddha time stated that a female monk has to be ordained by another female monk (and male by male respectively). Unfortunately there was a time when the sect Ajahn Brahm was ordained in, ran out of female monk to ordain more so it was by technicality discontinued. This means that Ajahn Brahm decision to ordain female monks which has led to his “Excommunication” was technically breaking a few rules. Mainly that the female monks he helped to ordained was ordained by a female monks of different sect. Which broke another rule that monks of different sect ought not to hold congregations together. Therefore, Ajahn Brahm was excommunicated. But in Buddhism this just means that they from then on acknowledge that his and their temples are from then on a different sect. In a way saying that he was freed to do what he wishes. This system was part of old agreements between sects of Buddhism to avoid conflicts. In this way both sect can practice their own beliefs and keep their own rules as they see fit.

[@MWcrazyhorse]

@@prechabahnglai103 Very interesting! Thanks! Even though my question is 6 years old it had not been answered.

[@pogan1983]

Wait a minute! In this speech ad 2015 he is saying miastakes are second to useless. In his recent talks Adjahn allows making mistakes as a tool for wisening. The latter is much more enlightened, though I wish he had thought over the scope of what he was to say.

[@anaalaya]

He didn't say not to make mistakes. The ponit is to be kind to even the mistakes that we are bound to make.

[@felisextraterrestris4303]

=D he does really good shit. ^^ amaaazing good shit ^^ thumbs up for this guy

[@dreadknot2238]

Could you watch your Language and be respectful to ajhan

[@felisextraterrestris4303]

dread knot =D he said it himself, and for ME it is forbidden? oh please...

[@dreadknot2238]

He may said it, but your comment was almost as if it was directly to him.

[@felisextraterrestris4303]

dread knot hey it was meant honestly and it wasn't meant as an insult. so please relax, ok? i like people who do good sh... stuff, alright? =)

[@Sesshounamaru7]

I remember him saying its near impossible for buddhist monks to get mad and how ultimatelly, been offended is a personal thing. not implaying you should go talking trash tho... so yeah, one could say to his face "Hey Braham, your shit has helped me" and he will smile :D

[@christopherprim1973]

Parable of the empress and the monster: apply to James Damore.

[@eandup1550]

google male staff have yet to go to work in womens wear. ajahn brahm raised 1.5 million from this visit to google for female monks in santa rosa to buy a home.

I heard his lecture in Hua Hin where he said that "If raped, did you ever think you were lucky?" Then his challenging grin. I didn't walk out or call him a jerk, but maybe should have. Tamboon Mr Brahm. Shame on you!

Another option for providing 'gender equity' would be all males employed by Google to quit in protest. You know, because the good of the many. But what if gender equity is a crappy goal? You don't want the most qualified people to work in your company? Oh, you don't need it to be competitive. I see.
