[@siaulk]

Thank You Ajahn Brahm, you are always a life saver with your talks.

[@nychava]

(first timer here!) so, thank you - the path that lead me to this video has been as long as anyone else’s and my heart is wide open! probably, the kindness i think i have inside has always been shadowed by my fear and your voice has me peeling away years of anger and guilt and all that sad stuff. really. thank you so much. i will listen and learn as much as i can. PS. thank you also to ‘The Moth Radio Hour’’ / Jesse Klein’s playful, yet veritable and touching story on the “how you see me” episode. thats how i found you :)

[@swchew1476]

I am forever grateful to you for your compassion Ajahn Brahm. Sadhu sadhu sadhu 🙏🙏🙏

[@VibesAlive45]

He is definitely great!

[@michelleclare4230]

We have been listening to Ajhan for a few years now. A real gentle soul with a wacky sense of humour.

[@704studio]

Thank you Ajahn Brahm, my wish to the Wish-fulfilling Jewel Tree was to experience the wisdom leaf of meditation, and I was led here. Your opening remarks brought tears of joy to my heart. 💙

[@mathematicsandstuff]

Most genuine Buddha of our generation, that I am personally accustomed to... It's true not many people visit me.

[@ramdhiwakarseetharaman5989]

Make peace. Be Kind. Be Gentle 🧡 Definitely this talk softened my heart a lot.... Gave me a sense of relief as I even think of embracing life as it is at the moment.

[@StephB93]

[@niccinoonar]

We call it the “shit sandwich” at work ❤

[@mathematicsandstuff]

River on this one proof. You need me to point on the legislation??? Swan River my friend.

[@user-gj4hn1hl2q]

i like eddys enthusiam, but it is annoying. let A.J.B do his job

[@niccinoonar]

That is his job!

[@squamatoo]

Eddy's very much good enough. He never complains ;)

[@jong6741]

He is also teaching

[@handsomebear.]

When you find yourself complaining about something that happens in a video called _"dangers of complaining"_ 😅

[@jingyan4460]

I can't stand 'teachers' like that too, who tries to portray he knows better but all he says is a whole ton of concepts with no sense of true experience. Ajahn knows that will be at least some who will be annoyed, hence, that comment - he is SO compassionate
