Listening to this during Vesak. Thank you so much for the wise and teaching. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
After several hundred hours of rather turgid, demanding [and sometimes mind-numbing] sutta study and recorded talks over the past 6-8 months, I'm really enjoying this historical, anecdotal, and travelogue approach! To me, it DOES make it seem much more real... so very well done, Ajahn Brahmali.

It's great to get historical facts along with the Sutta teaching ! Sadhu !
Anyone who loves hearing The Suttas come alive, should also listen to Candana Bikkhu. He has a way of reading and interpretating Suttas which is unique and very insightful. He does so in such a way that you feel like you are there almost... its beautiful.
Ajahn Brahmali really pointed out interesting facets of this Sutta and the history. His passion made this interesting to me. I often avoid learning any Sutta. Prefer to just meditate.
Transmission starts at 10:15.
not sure why they don't just cut it out before uploading.
Thank you for this series of sutta classes.
I’ve also commented to share that the ordering of the playlist makes the series regrettably difficult to watch in proper order, especially using the Play All feature. The playlist appears to, mostly, be in reverse order, for instance Part 12 is the First Video of the series-yet even that becomes inconsistent starting at the Ninth Video. Because of this, upon completion of a part, the playlist automatically advances to the wrong video, based on the “part” noted parenthetically, thus necessitating stopping playback and manually selecting the correct video in the sequence. Please note that “Shuffle playlist” is not on, so the problem is not attributable to that feature. A simple reordering of the videos in the playlist would correct these issues and make playback seamless and convenient.
Thank you Ajahn. I see respect for ancient tradition that is in accord with Dhamma is meant here, which is not based on delusion or hubris of patriarchy or domination politics.
ITS VERY PEACEFUL TO LISTEN TO BUDDHA SUTTA AND CHANTING.
This is wonderful! My sutta and meditation group is ending with this sutta, so it's great to hear directly from a monk in video form! Thank you, from the US!
Excellent and can continue listening
Actually, if I recall correctly, Rev Heng Sure had the experience that Ajahn Brahmali mentioned at around 43:00. There was one guy who wanted to kill his fiance or friend (I forgot which one) because he was cheated on and Rev. Heng Sure managed to pursuade the guy against the murder.
I hope that your organization could make an English subtitle in every video in order to help non-English native audiences can know exactly the whole meaning.
Welcome mumbai
I'm thirty minutes in and so far I've heard only one paragraph from sutta in question. But hoorray! Now I know much more about ancient indian kings and cities. I'm sorry but I really don't think this is a sutta study. This is a really messy historical lecture. Right?..
Yes, that is what he explained at the beginning, why this is a different sutta.
София Харитонова he says in the very beginning that this was not a sutta
Dear Ajahn Brahmali
ajat shatru means one without enemies.or one who's enemy has not been born.(a apt name for a great king/warrior)
shatru = enemy
ajat has 2 meanings 1.unborn 2. one free from the bondage of birth (jati=birth)
so the unborn enemy is a literal translation which is not quite correct
that apart thank you for your beautiful and inspiring talks
Sadhu
Sir, indian kings have not killed their fathers. Ajat Shatru was an exception
No, he was not an exception. Ajatshatru was killed by his son Udyan, who himself got killed by his own son Naagdasak. Infact, when Naagdasak's minister Shishunaag usurped the throne by assassinating him, he justified his actions by calling whole Haryak dynasty "Prituhanta" meaning patricidal ....
Ajatashatru stayed silent after hearing this. Kosala Devi thought that he had agreed to release his father, so the palace released this news. Everywhere in the city, people heard that Bimbisara was going to be released, so everyone was happy and went to the jail saying.'King Bimbisara is going to be released!' Bimbisara heard this and thought to himself,' My son is evil and has no compassion on me. I do not know what else he will do to hurt me.' After this thought, he killed himself in front of his bed. (From Vinaya 《十诵律》卷三十六杂诵第一
what he meant is that ajat shatru was the only who killed. other kings did not kill.
Well, majority of dynasties have not killed their fathers. Mauryas, Maharana Pratap, Bajirao Peshwa, etc. Though thanks for enlightening me with fact of killing of Ajatashatru by his son. I was not aware of it.
I think he said "right" 300 times. I'm trying...I really am but it's painful.
pokernubz haha fault finding mind. I’m totally fine with his talk.
