- Fear creates so much suffering and unnecessary problems in our lives, and for many people a key aim is to overcome fear and experience a state of fearlessness. Ajahn Brahm explains how it's important to understand fear and even to understand why we are addicted to fear.
I could spend the rest of my lifetime finding a better talk/lecture on any subject in existence and I will fail. It's incredible how you are able to produce a talk of this power, emotion and significance on the fly off the top of your head. You're absolutely incredible Ajahn Brahm. Forever grateful for your lifetime of service to humanity. Sadhu!
Thank you Ajahn Brahm, you've changed my life. 💛
I watched this video before my presentation in a big conference. It really helped me getting rid of nervousness, and that presentation became my best talk ever. Thank you Ajahn Brahm.
"You can't control the world but you can control your attitude towards it." So simple but I always forget! Thank you.
Ajahn Brahm is the man!
I have just realized i am addicted to fear, strong emotions and drama. Thank you!!
It's amazing to hear Ajahn Brahm say that the emotion of 'fear' is not necessary at all, and when you think about it, it makes complete sense! I wish everyone watching this video to overcome their own fears.
I love all his talks, very funny and down to earth. I've learned so much from him on how to just be. Wish I would have started this journey earlier but better late than never.
Fear is debilitating. Only compassion can counteract it. No matter what happens, if I stay on my breath and in the present, I can forget the fear.
I love you, Ajahn Brahm. You open my eyes, you wake up my heart to love. Thank you.
Ajahn Brahm, I cannot go to Perth, but if there was even the remote possibility that I might want to or could be a monk, it would be an honor to be under your tutelage and to call you my Master. Your teachings continue to bring wisdom and joy into my life. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

Thank you for this fearless talk. It is helping me with my anxiety.
When we're afraid, we panic and when we panic, we make what we're afraid of happen. Thank you for this wonderful teaching!
Thank you so much for your wisdom, humanity, compassion, humour and kindness! XX
Thanks a lot for these inspirational teachings. They dispel my fear and worry. Even with death I am not afraid, nothing can really upset us. Put peace and kindness between everything and us. Sadhu sadhu
Thank you Ajahn Brahm. Ya, I will cultivate the right intention by laying many moments of peace in life.
🌷Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu🌷
This is such a classic talk by Ajahn Brahm. Wonderful✨
I respect this sooo much!! Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu!
Thank you so much Ajahn Brahn. I've lived my whole life being motivated by beating myself into subjection, with a fear of punishment. I will do work on mettha meditation now with acceptance of compassion and kindness to myself, which I was taught was cowardness. Thank you for your loving kindness!
thank you ajahn brahm- thank you for making my life and the lives of so many people better; may you attain Nirvana.
This is one of my favorite talks 👏 I need to share this with my father & I hope he has an open heart to hear it
Me too Sedth. He is beautiful and so serene
So cool to hear Ajahn Brahm masterfully recount an anecdote from the Kung Fu TV series
Thanks a lot for another great talk. Really made me feel peaceful. Loved this quote - "Have a sense of humor and you'll never be afraid".
thank you this is another amazing talk. I could listen to you all day . you bring me so much peace I can't thank you enough
Medytacja spokoju, miłości i wdzięczności.
Sadhu sadhu sadhu 🙏🏼 much gratitude for the wonderful teacher and the deep message. I hear more every time I hear it!
Another amazing talk, I could listen to you all day
excellent, excellent, excellent! Thank you! from Atlanta, Ga, USA. 2019
Yet again another wonderful lecture. Thank you
A very appropriate talk for these times. Blessings to Ajahn Brahm and the BSWA.
🙏🙏🙏
What a beautiful talk! Thank you
this is the second time I see this talk and I realized I never had peace in my life. I always enjoyed sports and relationships to the limit and now I see why... I was seeking for "the thrill" of it. In other words never being natural about myself... thanks Ajan Brahm from the bottom of my heart!
I've watched it many times, and I'll do it many more. An amazingly wise Dhamma talk. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu 🙏
Thanks Ajahn Brahm! Love you! Be blessed!
Love all the talks , who needs valium?
Ajahn Brahm, you ve helped me so much through these talks . Thank you
You selling? I’ll take some.
@@seanthemoneymagnet2158 watch out for that stuff. Mara is restless, so be on your toes. What appears to be pleasure is in fact stress. The Evil One never sleeps, so be mindful. I love you.
Wonderful. Thank you Ajahn Brahm.
Thanks. :) So far I hadn't got the opportunity to read any of his books, but from his talks and other writings it is quite clear that he understands our present crisis very well. He even wrote to KFC regarding chickens. To be honest, he is the only living Buddhist teacher I know whom work I would not consider unjustly anthropocentric. This is a tough think to say, I know; but this is what I must say to clearly express my present feelings and understanding.
Om Guruvea Namah 🌟🌺🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌺🌟👍👍👍🌟🌺🙏🏼🌺🌟
how glad i am to encounter your videos. just reminds me everytime the important points of life
Thank you for posting this video. Ajahn Brahm
I'm not supposed to be living here and the neighbor was mad when the door slammed and screamed at me, so I said terrible words to her it turned ugly... she called the cops and they said if I talked to her again I'd be arrested... I was afraid of being evicted and homeless, and afraid to make up with her... but I did after watching this video... thanks Ajahn Brahm 😁
@Redeemer10000- Hello there. I am a Buddhist monk in La Puente, CA, and I wanted to answer your question. First off you need to come to terms with the fact that all beings must die. It is a fact of nature. The Buddha taught that old age, sickness and death happen to ALL of us. To be afraid of the inevitable is irrational... Come to that realization. Secondly, we (me, even as a monk) can NEVER know what will happen when we die...
Thank you Venerable 💖
Thank you again ajahn brahm!
Thank you for uploading this lecture.
Thank you! I love your talks! Long and happy life to you! Metta!
I wish I have the opportunity to attend Ajahn Bram's meditation.
Wonderful as always
wisdom yet again! Thankyou!
Thanks for the posting, Ajahn Brahm is the man!!!! I love this talk and it makes me feel fearless.
Thank you for another wonderful talk Ajahn B.
The barking dog was a nice touch. Serendipity at its finest...
Love this Q&A. No Fear
Always amazing advice. Thank you so much.
I really enjoyed listening to what he had to say. Thank you for posting this video.
I feel a profound, unusual sense of peace because of this video. Thank you very much. :)
Thank you A.B.
When you spoke about the dog barking it reminded me of when there was a dog in our who was left out all night and barked away. I heard that instead of focusing on the barking focus on the silence in between the barks. Game changing!
Thanks Ajahn Brahm. You've done a lot to help me relaaaax.
🙏🏻 Thank you very much
Fear is awful, I'm now learning how to let that go when it's not necessary.
Thank you Ajahn Brahm
Awesome perspective! Kudos!
Great Talk Ajah Brahm!
Thank you for this useful video.
This interesting talk has grounded and encouraged me and made me think of others.
beautiful information, thank-you...
Thank you.
"Fear" is the wrong word.... Respect things, and take care of your mind. I have been guilty of letting anxiety take hold and as Ajahn says this is just the way of the lazy mind. People can learn so much from this Guru!
this was a good talk, it related to me lot it is not just about the childhood notion of talking to strangers, no man, it goes much deeper than that, you see sometimes when i am having fun being an adult, i tend to shy up, not that there is anything wrong with it on days you don't have to get up early, but i sometimes i fear people are calling me a loser when i go to bed for work,
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ajahn Brahm, I am so grateful I found you. Your words and wisdom have helped me grow so rapidly and deeply. My deepest love and respect to you, my friend.
Thank you so much. You really help me.
This is good for this present time. Amitofu

So beneficial. Thank you for doing what you do** Such empowering and truly truthful stuff eh! Be still xx
Fabulous discussion.
อาจารย์ สุดยอดเลย สาธุค่ะ
awsome video thanks for posting.
Also, I think it is very negative to leave insults on the comment page. If you don't like the talk, find one you do. Why waste your energy upsetting people who liked the talk? Blame and insult is not useful for anyone.
I think you're an idiot
@@marckipfer8025 I guess it takes one to know one. Kudos on your confession
@@FATGOOFAS Marc can feel that way. You must allow others to be themselves. Try to refrain from negative speech. :)
True True True ... ♥️ UR TALKS ♥️
thank you!!! sadhu sadhu sadhu
Thank you!
🌟❤️🌟😱👀🌟🦋🌟🐬🌟❤️ love that you can share with us all... so love you and the wisdom you pass on... love the fun you inject into us all... love it sweetheart... my grandkids are also having meditation... needs to be a in our schools more for sure ❤️🌟❤️ love and hugs to you and all who watch 🐬🌟🐬🥰🤗 Lol! I thought you had suddenly got a tattoo!!! But it's the shadow of the Mike on your arm 😅😂🤣🤩
Great wisdom man.... from whom we can learn how to behave kindly toward our fears...we can not control people actions around us but we can control our attitudes toward them, by being nice and kind...that's the key!!!
Fear as the emotion blows you of your socks, and while hanging there somewhere in thin air that makes you afraid and makes you wanna come down again and stay grounded. It's a circle untill we die perhaps and our spirit will be lifted up as a whole.
Fear!!
Good talk!
Very good! The use of fear as being "unethical" is a great idea! If only we could apply this idea to every human endeavor! Brahm's right. And I think that's where our governments are going so wrong worldwide. Our representatives are themselves governed by fear, so of course they're using it. In my country, they're even recommending teachers wear guns! As if their children should think they're in an actual prison everyday (vs just feeling like it sometimes :p ) . And that's *madness*! Especially in "the land of the Free". We always talk about not letting terrorists win by instilling fear and instead choose to be even more free and to laugh even more and love even more. But the gun lobby is in fear for its power over or politicians. And the forces of darkness in human nature, our greed and lust for control and power, are trying to save these politicians from being brought to Justice and to take our government down. And these same politicians want to go back to segregating society by haves and have notss, and by race and gender and religion Because their supporters, their voters who are mostly the old ones, actually believe or hope somehow if we went back to the 40s and 50s that they'd be happier, younger, richer, and they'd matter again. Even Trumps fear got him into trouble long ago when he feared not being the favorite son. When he feared going to Vietnam. When he feared not being wealthy and handsome. When he feared not getting a loan to get out of his debt, again. When he feared being old and powerless. Until he finally got to the point he feared not being feared. And beca use "the leader of the free world" is afraid of age and powerlessness and poverty, who do you think his targets for destruction are?
The very people here who believed his lies to them. Their fears *will* be realized if the fearless in our government don't send this pseudo-leader packing. And I admit my concern - nut fear - for BSWA right now is some of them Matt not realize that by losing Brahm as their Spiritual Director, they may very well get someone in his place that causes any of *their* fears for BSWA, to be realized. :( And I'm not even a member! :p I'm not concerned for Brahm or any of the monks and nuns, so much as those who have ONLY the BSWA in Perth or the larger region. Anyway, sadhu cubed.
Wonderful talk, self-fulfilling prophecies surely are odd creatures.
I do think that sports and good nutrition have very significant effects on body and mind though. Surely the attitude towards life is crucial, but there's no reason not to improve one's well-being where it's that easy.
Determination and Running Consistency
He got rid of my fear of flying :)
"Fear is the mind killer..."

Fantastic I admire all your talks I too want to build a house piece by piece by Peace Thank you very very much🙏👍😄😀🌹🌹🌹
I asked my doctor this morning if she thought I was in bad shape. She said without hesitation….. YES! The doctors tell me I have maybe a few days left to live!
Namo budhay
made my day definityly! :D
"the real fearlessness.. you know what's going on, doesn't matter what happens..."
If you wish to hear a Buddhist lecture on such topics, seek out books written by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
First, why are you afraid of death? Just live your life wisely, earnestly and happily. I think people are afraid of death is because of regrets, or fear of the unknown don't worry!
Think of it this way, if you don't reincarnate you won't have to die twice!
"Respect it, but don't be afraid. Respect the venom of the snake, etc etc."
Lacking in gentle KINDNESS is why you are afraid. WHEN YOU ARE KIND TO ANYTHING, YOU DON’T HAVE ANY FEAR. WE CREATE FEAR. HOW? By being unkind. You create the FEAR that you have by your UNKINDNESS.
