The Wisdom Borne of Silence | Ajahn Brahm | 1 Jan 2016

As this talk was given on the first day of the new year 2016 (happened to be a Friday) we have kept the recording just as it was live streamed ie. leaving in the guided meditation before the talk so you might start the year with a bit of meditation. This recording gives viewers who have never been to Dhammaloka of what it's like on Friday nights - it always starts with thirty minutes of meditation.
By the way there was a loud in the hall at 1:33:00 due to a water bottle exploding, but it did not shake the wisdom borne of silence at all. :)

Thank you so much dear Ajahm Brahm,, your talks are unique, always so uplifting and they give me so much peace. And I really love more your talks now that you became a "round" monk, you've gained so much through all these years. (you guide me from so far away, I'm from Buenos Aires🙆👼💖🌄😘)

Why don't all the videos start with the meditation? I find it was really helpful and pleasant. Please start uploading the meditations together with the talks. And also great talk! Saddhu, saddhu, saddhu! You're really helping through an interesting time in my life Ajahn Brahm, thank you.

Thank you Ajahn Brahm for your kind and wise answer to my question (1:22:00) - I'll keep meditating first of all and singing with the guys I love.

I’ve listened so many guided meditations, this is one of the best ones if you truly understand his guidance.

Love you Bhanti. I know what you mean about outsourcing. Lots of things not reported on the last president. For example, he is considered to be the biggest deporter of all time, got rid of habeous (sp?) corpus, black prison population exploded, went from 2 wars to 9, didn't stand by Standing Rock, flint still has dirty water - so he is far from perfect. I think you can outsource a better candidate. But I know what you mean. The image is decent. That aside, not to get into politics here, because that never goes over well in a comment section, I will say I hope that outsourcing will be considered in the future! You are full of good ideas!

[@elHippieSupremo]

Thumbs up for the joke. 53:56 jajajajaja.

[@AprilMelodyVlogs]

Where can you submit questions to ask Ajahn Brahm?

[@PossessWithin]

+Bobby IsMyName I would like to know that too!

[@karimsalhani]

+Bobby IsMyName I believe the questions he answers at the end of each talk are written by the attendants at the retreat.

[@AprilMelodyVlogs]

karimsalhani Damn, I will never have the money to go on one of those haha

[@rachelb1998]

As far as I understand, when the talk is being live streamed, they take questions online! There's a little chat box :)

[@AprilMelodyVlogs]

rachelb1998 Oh good!! I will need to keep an eye out then! I have questions to ask!!
