The first talk I listened to of Ajhan Brahm was the four ways of letting go so simple but true changed my life.when he talks of compassion kindness and wisdom there is really no need for drugs this is the only medicine you need.

[@einsteinzvice517]

~Philippians 4:8~ ;-)

[@Clarkillustrations]

Einsteinz does it again, good Bible quote! I knew there was something on this. Ajahn even repeatedly mentions that Buddhism isn't really a religion, you don't have to pray to the statue of Buddha, just listen. They do it because they are monks. I regularly follow the teachings of Christ as well myself.

[@vtecpreludevtec]

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me - John 14:6 The Buddha aint a god.We dont worship idols either,thats just a symbol of the teachings,and many ppl say the Buddha wouldnt dig on all the statues of him.There are ppl who pray to the Buddha for intervention,sure,but thats human nature.There is a very good argument Buddhism isnt even a religion.In Buddhist lands ppl dont usually say,,Im a Buddhist,,but I follow the Buddha dharma,/teachings.Me Im a Christian and I try to follow the Buddha dharma.Chill out,aint nothin evil in it.With metta.

[@zuzanabokova3952]

Mike Berg True. It is all about teachings. With Buddha, with Jesus. Not about worshipping. People got it wrong when they started to worship statues and forgot to use the teachings in life, as basic good morals and ethics.

[@vtecpreludevtec]

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me - John 14:6 bro,the Buddha aint a God,we dont worship him,the statue?to remind us of teachings.

[@maralynfarber2068]

THANK YOU for the joy, humor, and lightness.❤️🙏🌞You are a gift to all of us.💚

[@ChrisHardyWorld]

"it's not the experience that's the problem, but how you react to it" - this. is. lifechanging! :D

[@einsteinzvice517]

This glitchy video has given me the opportunity to practice patience & long-suffering. THANKS for the BONUS, Ajahn Brahm! ;-)

[@vtecpreludevtec]

Einsteinz Vice dukkha,un satisfactoriness,or a craving for better ness or more ness.You are bang on,metta🇳🇿😜😜😜

[@vtecpreludevtec]

Einsteinz Vice ps eins,HH The Dalai Lama used to have an incredibly bad tempered guy as his p.a. when he was on tour,in America someone asked H.H.,,why do you keep that awful guy?,,H.H. said,,oh,he s my patience teacher!,,,

[@BuddhistSocietyWA]

We apologize for the glitchy video.

[@einsteinzvice517]

[@shihappyfishyoga1958]

My tears come out when Ajahn said about he know these people since young, i know Ajahn since 2008, i attended retreat almost every year from then...so almost 10 years now, thanks Ajahn for everything

[@tomkrawec]

Thank you for warning us. Thankfully you believe that we will have a chance in the afterlife to hear God's word so everything is good.

[@guser2495]

ajahn agreed with a christian, "yes, nothing is better than god"

[@vtecpreludevtec]

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me - John 14:6 Hey bro why would an omnipotent creator God damn most of his kids/creation to eternal hellfire?Why would God be so cruel?If you had ten kids would you chuck half or more in the fire?course not,it defies common sense,heavens there for all,just be good.

[@shobi13]

I love you Ajahn Brahm thanks so much for being a monk ♡♡♡

[@angelzena5077]

Helo from England, Thank you... ❤️Master

[@kristyducharme9404]

I love Ajahn Brahms talks, in his fun uplifting talks lies a deep root of a lesson that I utilize in daily life. I hope to be able see him in person one day. I live in a non Buddhist community strictly all forms of Christianity town, Ajahn Brahm talks helps me stay connect with buddhahood. I also enjoy the other monks talks as well, especially the sutra talks. It's a joy to be able to watch his talks live or prerecorded. I normally listen on apple podcast. Thank you.

[@kristyducharme9404]

Don't tell me how to live my life, thanks. You don't know me so keep your thoughts and beliefs to yourself. Thank you but no thanks

[@KatieM786]

I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the father except through me - John 14:6 Thank you for your trolling comments, inciting discord. You are truly teaching me patience and compassion.

[@lordbyron3603]

There truly is no one else like him. Whenever I feel a little bit depressed, I pull up one of his videos. And before I know it, I’m busting out laughing. Sadhu!

[@rscott222]

Thank you Ajahn Brahm, glad you made it home safe!

[@theinzwin]

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@bhavnabhatty99]

He has changed my mindset a lot ....still waiting for more to change ❤

[@lordbyron3603]

My reaction to Life is mostly negative. But I’m learning to be at peace with my negativity.

[@jaclynwright9519]

[@kirstymaving6228]

too true we all need to be nicer chill out a bit and enjoy ourselves more ! I got the excuse I needed to stay in bed on my next day off hehehhe !

[@guser2495]

yep that's ajahn brahm's style. he's a great stress reliever

[@guser2495]

always the best. who are the 27 meanies who thumbs it down? ahh i guess its the recording quality

[@KatieM786]

It's the "Christian" troller and their 26 fake accounts....😂

[@mikedang3613]

@@KatieM786 I was wondering about all the disjointed ramblings of multiple insane people in these comments talking about reading "gospel" and "the word of God" and whatnot. It does appear to be the same person on several accounts. What kind of life do you think that person leads?

[@tammieflorice6767]

I would love to hear a talk by Ajahn Brahm live in Phoenix

[@btardpornherp]

I been watching this channel for a few years now, and I love every talk! I'd love to hear about the Buddhist view on The Simulation Theory and other Theories of multiple dimensions ect. I understand Ajahn Brahm is a very earthy grounded person but I'd like to hear Ajahn Brahmali or Ajahn Appichato speak on newer scientific theories being tested and how Buddhists work with the new information.

[@steevo211]

I must have a spectacular Botanical garden, and enough supplies for a chain of fruit markets. I'm so pleased my life absolutely reeks of dung!

[@suwannahillmer9493]

The highest truth of dhamma is in silence.When people are ready, then the fully enlightened master will appear to them .They practice even quietly but their essence of spiritual life will shine and might be noticed.They are beyong the mind which is planning, discussing, arguing, acting this way or that way to control and telling due to the nature of the mind level of EGO,ACHIEVEMENT etc etc etc.They talk when asked , when necessary.They reach the state of no ego, no face, no conception, no thought of bad of good. just like a child. They are peaceful,simple, humble,,compassionate.They practice not to boast about getting respect.They are very active ,self sufficient and give (not telling people to give but showing example of giving which is even finance and spiritual merit. they have the right conceptions.All the great masters show the world this wisdom,truth, beauty from inside and outside.Buddha sangha in the past did not work for living but their ways of living are concepts of free from attachment so their spiritual merit surpassed and transfered to lay people. If today monks do not dig into themself to check their intentions because Buddha is not here to check them and the lay people just sadhu sadhu sadhu, the foods and things they get from working honest people might not be able to digested.

[@shaneluke346]

anotherchanceful I was just wondering what he did BEFORE he became a MONK , he would make a good stand up comedian , he is SO FUNNY Posted from the UK

[@emmaleadbetter9370]

talk starts at 13:00

[@ChrisHardyWorld]

maybe officially, but the best part for me was here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJmvgqxqnrJ3opYm5s

[@guser2495]

talk starts at beginning of video

[@emmaleadbetter9370]

hmm yes I do agree, I use a different form of meditation and I like to listen to A.Brahm for just his talks.

[@ChrisHardyWorld]

i like his jokes. there, i said it! :D

[@zofiaszabo1373]

guess you didn't listen to the talk you idiot.people are here because they like to listen to Ajahn Brahm ,and respect his views,not to judge ,sounds like someone needs to get a life,a happy one at that :)

[@larryprimeau7738]

Ajahn is always talking about how much he works..he's worse than a father that has to work 2 jobs just to feed his family. he never tells us why he works so hard that causes him so much exhaustion. he probably comes from a family ( especially his dad) that would tolerate nothing less than very hard work all the time and be very ambitious. he's just doing all this terrible work schedule within a Buddhist context.

[@sc3743]

You charge people RM65 per head just to hear your wisdom. What if poor people which dont have the money how ??

[@gideoncrew8500]

Stanley Chew as far as i know, he dosent plan the event or set prices. He is invited to attend by people or organisers who set the price. I am pretty sure that he dosent charge anything for attending the talks in the monastery.

[@SpiritualRecovery]

That's a one way discussion you're having there!!!! Those poor people looking for hope but having to just listen to you and say "Sardu Sardu Sardu" at the end regardless of their possible disagreement to your personal opinion there, or does your personal opinion rule the roost?

[@python395]

Spiritual Recovery People go there to listen to the monk, that's a dhamma talk. It's not really a discussion, you know

[@xATLxLUVAx]

Spiritual Recovery I

[@SpiritualRecovery]

Your trouble is you're surrounded by people scared into saying "Sardu sardu sardu" even when you're talking crap.

[@guser2495]

ajahn brahm is the type who wouldn't care if people didn't say that. i can't stand ritual. loved it when he said you don't have to bow to Buddha

[@gideoncrew8500]

Why would they be scared. Nowhere in buddhism is it stated that one would be dammned to hell if they dont worship the buddha or say sadu sadu sadu. So why would they be scared.
