I only recently discovered Ajahn Brahm. The serendipity of his wisdom has been uncanny, if that's the right word - before watching the videos I had been ruminating on the very topics he discusses - it's beautiful, eye opening, and timely. I was raised in the Jehovah's Witnesses cult, so I have been anti-religion for all of my adult life, completely cynical and jaded. Ajahn Brahm has come into my life at exactly the moment I needed him, showing me loving kindness and peace is possible. Words cannot express my gratefulness.

I love you ajahn brahm i found you when i was kicking methadone on top of a mtn in Vermont in a house gifted to me because i was poor in America it became one of my favorite things i ever did . I was there with 2 cats and one was 20 and my sheltie Seamus who didnt feel comfortable with the terraine .i heard you say meditation in the caves you were never lonely " you were with your best friend you! Thankyou for that and many more i quote from you i want your books.

I wish I had one

[@Gombakka]

I think I was seven years old when I had to face my first ever exam. It was stressful. I did feel the time. In the end I couldn't do it anymore. I cried. I did not complete the part where I had to draw a picture. A little girl stood up from her seat. She sat in front of my table on the floor. She began to draw for me. I felt so relieved and less scared. I don't remember a teacher being there. But nobody stopped us. She is a kind heart. ❤️

[@ShimmerBodyCream]

[@michelewills6755]

I have been blessed 🙌 by having found you and Buddism. The feelings you speak of and the emotions involved in my most difficult decision of my life. I have not been able to forgive myself for that decision. You told all of your listeners but today it felt was said to only me. I have never had anyone say it was ok 👍 to forgive myself for that decision . Thank you for your words and blessings you spoke of today . Forgiveness for myself."it's all about us". There is nothing wrong or selfish or egotistical but rather it is Forgiveness to self. Amen Ajahn Brahm.

The best thing one can do to himself is to get out to exercise in the sun right waking up. This brings different reality to one's mind. Flourishing the mind and the dreams are nourrished

[@matt_cummins28]

What a wonderful talk and one I much needed this evening. I have been using the guided meditations for a while now, but have only very recently arranged my evening deliberately to leave myself some space to listen to one of your talks. The combination of the kind, straightforward way in which you approach these subjects and the actual learning contained in them is very simple but very powerful. Instead of diving into some television program I have been coming here and listening to you. Oddly, by the time you have finished speaking the urge to dive into those programs has diminished as I do not wish to break the spell of the peace that I feel by their end, but instead to give myself time to reflect upon their meaning and value. Thank you.

[@siuyinng8374]

I need to listen to Ajahn Brahm nightly to help me with my upcoming divorce. I dont want it but in thr uk , it is no fault divorce system. So he will get the divorce no matter what. I am scared of having to pack the whole house and move and to look at the future without him. I worry for him too. Hope that he will be able to manage his life and his toxic family. So Ajahn Brahm you are ny saviour .You help me do one thing a time.
