[@ReySyndicate]

I'm about to start my art studio practice, moved into my new studio. first thing this morning was listen to this. thank you Ajahn Brahm.

“Thinking about pushing the wheelbarrow is the hard part, pushing it is easy.” I am trying hard to keep to the task and not feel angry towards it. 🙏🏼

[@doman362]

The story he said at the end 46:15 is very similar with a short Sufi story which was mention in Rumi's famous Mathnavi around 800 year ago. Story goes like that: A scholar entered into some ship and asks its Sailor: Do you know any of Arabic Grammar?(which then was a great sign of knowledge in Molem world) Sailor replied: No The Scholar said: Half of your Life is wasted. Then huge storm comes and Sailor asked the scholar do you know how to swim? The scholar replied: No. Then the Sailor said: Now whole of your is wasted. Really Truth has no boundary, time and nationality. I'm appreciative for this good man's teaching. Thanks

[@gudetamak4420]

This is absolutely beautiful, let's keep our minds more empty and focus on the present 😊, since it's a gift and that's why it's The present

[@mimitantono]

Thanks to Ajahn Brahm, his talks have definitely changed my attitude towards life.

[@SurangikaSenanayake]

So timely and ever so timeless.

[@sachinthaherath4902]

The story about the sailor and the professor was hilarious!🤣😂 Another one of my favourites by Ajahn Brahm, thank you for this gem!!!🧡🙏🙏🙏

[@paulsellars2330]

If I keep my life as simple as Ajahn Brahm tells me to, then I feel more relaxed and actually get more done. I find him a useful listen.

[@AgeofColossus]

Great wisdom, as always :) Thank you, Bhante, Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu!

[@kabkay4646]

Min 30:55 onwards is probabily the best lessons in life. Thanks for sharing.

[@elibarros2732]

Beautiful in my heart. Thank you very much for having your words here in Brazil. So happy with her words. Help me a lot. I was so stress.

[@frederickstewart6217]

The world is a big jungle! It's a mess! But just do what you do & don't stress! That's the key to success!

[@barbarac15]

Dear Ajahn Brahm, how perfect a teaching for me today. I need to clean out my dustbin ! thank you :)

[@MoonRegolith]

This video has the most thoughtful series of comments in the history of KZbin. Nobel peace prize, I say! Don't come back as a bicycle, come back as a Ducati! Go give something away to somebody today!

[@108shadow108]

I think a good example would be that if one was lost in the wilderness and then one finds a map which gives the final destination as home and step by step follows the map and upon reaching the first place that is correct according to the map, then one has more of a firm belief that the rest of the map is also correct. When a person puts into practice the teachings (the map) certain things will be realised, thus giving one more confidence that the path they follow will give the desired goal

[@rezartsy]

thank you so much. your talks are soo helpful and enlightening. they have truely changed my life for the better and it has brought me much needed peace and understanding. i will forever be thankful and grateful to have heard your words. namaste

[@danielsuas9095]

Gracias Ajahn!!

[@celonman]

I really enjoy listing to Ajahn Brahm

[@guyneo]

Looking forwards to the days when they complete their studies so I can remove the finanical responsibilities. But at the meantime, most parents just need to hang in to their jobs. To achieve some mental sanity, I will always come here for some words of wisdom. At least, I have some ideals which I could work towards. For the time being, duties come before self. I take the duties as person responsibilities but of course, there will be moments of frustrations and anger. This is when I seek Mr. Monk

[@koulakremastioti8314]

Thank you Ajahn Brahm !

[@TheRealSandleford]

Ok I just remembered a greaaat meditator and teacher that said, "If you are going to meet with truth, you are going to have to be true."

[@progtopaajbr2961]

Brilliant as always 👍🏻

[@umangaruhunage5663]

best talks ever!!!!!

[@eastwindblackpaw6722]

Beautiful talk

[@LVGaryD1]

This was absolutely great and I love Ajahn Brahm's videos and watch them several times each wee. I do have one question though-where is the video that explains how to let go? That seems to be the major problem for me and I would guess many others. Thank you so much and please keep up the great work!

[@thejanaliyanage7122]

true facts. Easy to unerstand. Enjoyable.

[@guyneo]

Being a Monk is to live with lowest expectations and material needs. He is showing us what is possible. And that material and money are not needed for happiness. On the other hand, as a layperson, we have to face our bosses and fulfill our finanical responsibilities. Personally, I do not need much but nurturing my children is very expensive. In Singapore which is famous for expensive enrichment and tuition classes. Having all these enable them to compete with our many foreign classmates.

[@issac7787]

33:00 doing it is easy, thinking about doing it is the hard part

[@CoolTigers]

Best one

[@FaveORitt]

You have to GREIVE the hurts of the past, before you can let them go.

[@anonymoussimple1189]

Buddhism is awesome :)

[@BipolarBowler]

“There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.” - Epictetus

[@108shadow108]

In the buddhist context feelings are impermanent and subject to change. But on a higher level of our spiritual developement we have feelings, like compassion, good will ect. In the ultimate state which is basically undescribed we enter something that is hgher than anything we can possible imagine.

[@Greyeaster]

Thank You for your talk!

[@sandrostumpo3779]

Great stuffed animal story and connecting it to the full mind.

[@mentallyfitmotivational1070]

Such a beautiful talk. I need a monastery to visit where I can understand so I can grow and learn where near Philadelphia is this place please help me lol

[@KuyaManzano]

My favorite success speakers are Gary Vaynerchuk, Tim Robbins, Dan Pena, Grant Cardone. Do you recommend me some others?

[@kenjuvytingpeichen4466]

Master, thank you so much...

[@Ma2rten]

@2catonthewall2 I don't think Ajahn Brahm reads the comments at KZbin, but I think he answered that question already in the talk anyway (from somewhere around 30:00). The answer in short is, that those things can only stress you, because you let them stress you.

[@thilakmudiya7313]

Great darma talk .

[@advocatevarunrathi2831]

Buddhisim means good deeds in the present and avoiding worries in the future

[@markstevenfuller]

I really gain allot from your videos...thank you very much!

[@SigEpBlue]

"Even cars can make good Karma and bad Karma." XD So true!

[@LVGaryD1]

@shakka877 Thank you very much. I watched an older video last night several times about Four Ways Of Letting Go, but kept falling asleep. Will check out Instead of Attachment. Thanks again!

[@mbodi1]

love this guy

[@GuyC7]

"It feels right" or "it feels wrong" are thoughts which are based on our intuitive response to sensory data. Have you ever had an intuitive response which, when you examined the evidence more thoroughly, turned out to be inaccurate? Maybe there is something deeper to what he is saying that has nothing to do with his voice and how it feels to you? What if someone with a different voice were saying the same words? What message is he trying to convey with the language he is using?

[@manosilva6022]

Thank you!

[@108shadow108]

In our present state we are conditioned, by Karma and by our environment. We watch TV and our senses are constantly bombarded with so many types of information. So with so many outside influences how can we trust our feelings. Fe;llings can be mixed, false or personally biased. The path of spiritual life espcially in buddhism is to uncondition oneself and be left with the pure mind, this is beyond belief and beyond personal feelings.

[@SomitPal]

He is a Dhamma gem

[@ghermanalina]

I love this video :D I would really like to really apply it :D

[@aishahstriggles6779]

great insight on stress.

[@108shadow108]

I guess the best answer is yes and no. Yes in terms of experienced gained in meditation, deduction reasoning and study of life itself. No in the sense that i am no an enlightened being. Sraddha or faith in sanskrit meaning more of a trust that one thing that has been applied worked so therefore the rest will work at some point. The goal is to transcend or let go of limitations of the body and mind, which include the deception of feelings.

[@krzysiek445]

Great talk, made my day.

[@LukeAvedon]

He leaves out technical instruction in these more general talks. Check out his retreat talks and his book "Mindfulness, Bliss & Beyond". His technical meditation instructions are probably the best anywhere.

[@royalsensi1414]

Thank You 🙏

[@Xforeverlove21]

34:33 best thing I have ever heard

[@sgt7]

Thank you.

brilliant

[@Arahansannihilation]

Sahdu!

[@GuyC7]

Are feelings reliable indicators for truth? Why do so many different people have so many different beliefs based on the claim that "it feels right"?

[@jestermoon]

Thank you

[@mumblealice17]

Believe nothing no matter where you read or who tells you, unless it makes sense to you. :) if you don't feel the truth that is fine.

[@GuyC7]

Truth isn't a feeling.

[@GuyC7]

Are feelings permanent or impermanent?

[@marillavanbeuren8572]

Forgive me for asking, but, how much teaching have you listened to? I think you could not ask such a question.

[@harsha205]

this man seriously cracks me up....hahaha

[@MML72795]

where do u record these at? in which country?

[@carerforever2118]

At the The Buddhist Society of Western Australia in Nollamara, Perth, Western Australia 🇦🇺 This is their website bswa.org

[@GuyC7]

Ostraya, Mate!

[@Ma2rten]

@3ofusalone What are you trying to achieve with that comment? Even if you are right and he does not have any outside sources of stress, I think he still says a lot of insightful things. You should watch the video past the first 5 minutes. Stress comes from both the inside and the outside. If you put two people in the complete same situation, one might get stressed, while the other one does not. And by the way, Theravada Buddhist monks are even allowed to grow their own food.

[@umangasarathchandra717]

awesome
