Mistakes is the universes way of helping us grow and they are lessons that teach us wisdom. From that wisdom we gain we may be able to help others when they are on the path of making the same mistakes. Whether we just give guidance, advice or warnings to them. Nothing exists in life that isn't meant to teach us something, build our character. By acknowledging mistakes and embracing them instead of finding fault or blame, we grow spiritually and we learn to benefit from them instead of tearing ourselves down.

SO glad you are back!!

[@Stranglerxx77]

Nice to see you back dude !!!!!!!

[@Stranglerxx77]

Find it hard to laugh about Funerals and Death though......

[@farelleferreira9085]

this was amazing. really needed this. thank you :)

[@orlando098]

Great talk Ajahn Brahm, welcome back indeed. One thing I liked among many was about not dwelling on the past trying to learn from it but instead the past being a torture chamber and prison, and focusing on the present instead.

[@jirapornoneplee9541]

Happy that you are back………..hooray!!!!

[@bangtwister]

Glad your back :-)

[@re98wlk55]

love you ajahn brahm you can do no wrong

[@omnium_gatherum14]

My mistake caused my pet's death. And Ajahn talks about simple mistakes but how do I laugh about what I did or didn't do which caused someone to die. I have guilt and grief. Because I loved my pet. I really did, I just cannot get rid of the guilt and sometimes when I get over the guilt, the grief hits me. I feel like I am vacillating between the two. I feel like I don't deserve to live. And if somehow I gather myself to start to live, I don't know what to live for. Cuz my dog was so important to me.

[@statecrimes]

I know what you mean. There are different types of mistakes. I’m sorry that you caused your pet’s death, I also had a similar feeling when my cat died suffering last year because I didn’t notice in the days before how much he was suffering. I am personally going through a big mistake at the moment where I hurt someone, and I just keep telling myself that this is a painful life long lesson that I will learn from. Good luck to you, I feel for you. ❤️

[@lisaevans5843]

Awesome!

[@joseluis8291]

[@2211indy]

I MISSED YOU SO MUCH~ :-)

[@cazadoo339]

Oh my goodness i thought.... hes back hooray

[@lovelonelinesss]

I just wished my partner listened to this. I am to afraid to tell him anything becuase of the consequences I got before over tiny issues. Now i just lie my way out. And yes, I am trying to leave but mental dependence is a big thing to overcome :(

[@Trezker]

If something is really important not to mess up. Don't do it alone. Set up procedures requiring at least three different people to triplecheck every point you can collectively think of checking. If it's not important enough to spend that much resources, it's not really that important.

[@ashleyclark4148]

We all do stupid things we all make silly mistakes and we all say things in anger that we regret after its a natural learning curve we all face our mistakes make us human our mistakes are the keys to the lessons of life kicking yourself is not the answer any more.

[@berniegeoghegan9922]

Hi benn listening to you for 3weeks now , starting to feel better about my self. Can you do a talk about greed ?

[@maurymtana5899]

Hi i wanna ask something...im from southeast asia so english is not my first language Is mistake and failure basically the same thing?

[@PhoenixProdLLC]

This is a beautiful talk, and it's a topic that cannot be repeated often enough imo & ime. I think guilt and shame drive cycles of abuse from parent to child and partners and such. And the dysfunction goes on and on :( I wish he would say why monks can't drive. Can they go swimming? If they're out walking and come across a lonely and beautiful lagoon, they can't swim or they can? What if it's really hot or they're dusty? Can they swim then?

see ya in hamburg soon......

[@mentalelf9689]

When cooking with chilli, it is a mistake to not wash one's hands BEFORE, as well as after, going to the toilet...

[@jasonwhistle]

I love you Ajahn!!! (Dreadful jokes too!!!!!)

[@lordbyron3603]

Does AB ever get depressed I wonder.

[@markbrad123]

LOL, shit happens but it makes good compost

[@meunsterchease9983]

Just, he says that goofing off and ie blowing up a porta-potty is human, but I don't think many monks goof off like that. They have more self control So would he be implying that self control makes you less human?

[@prettypasta2001]

I think he meant unintentional mistakes.

_/|\_ Dear Ajahn Brahm, Cochise was an Apache...a desert tribe. No buffalo at all around. Send them out to steal ponies from the settlers, if you want something that won't have the yanks yelling with laughter before the punch line;)

[@saifuddinueo]

Thanks
