Dhamma is like a snowball... gradually grows on you.. purification grows, purity of the heart grows... confidence grows...see it inside your own heart...gradually gradually ....everything takes on a life of its own .... what a wonderful description!
Ajahn Brahmali is a great teacher who excells in giving true Dhamma talk. Dear Ajahn Brahm and BSW, please offer more time slot for Ajahn Brahmali. I don't understand why you need to have so many outside speakers (from Mahayana and Tibetan monks and nuns) when you already have such an excellent Bhikkhu who is speaking genuine Dhamma. Please let us hear more from Ajahn Brahmali. Thank you.
This is such a good talk. Life changing advice here. It’s good to listen to talks often because it can help shed light on something that would help you break through to a higher level that you might have not known hadn’t you exposed yourself to something new.
Wonderful talk.... Can listen to it over and over again. It really purify oneself. Hope we can listen to more Dhamma talks of Ven. Ajahn Brahmali. Thanks you!! and wish you ultimate happiness "Nibbana"
It's amazing how the average person can relate so well to a Buddhist monk, someone who most people would see has extraordinarily different than themselves at first glance. I truly appreciate these talks to the bottom of my heart, and thank every speaker and the BuddhistSocietyWA for their hard work.
Another clear and concise message taking us from one step to the next. Leading us to a moral state of being into the clean experience of mindfulness. A necessary foundation for the successful meditation experience. Ajahn Brahamali is truly a wonderful teacher. Many Thanks.
I am so encouraged. Wonderful teacher. Thanks Ajahn Brahmali. I had that problem you mentioned about metta meditation, it always felt pretty fake parroting the good wishes. It makes such sense that one has to do kind deeds first then you can know what being loving feels like. It is so good to have learnt a practical method from you. This has been bugging me for a long time. I once thought metta meditation is not possible for me.
What you say is very true. One cannot have an unwholesome day and then, sit on the mat and hope to have all thoughts of metta. Many Ajahns have also said to interweave mediation into our daily lives and not consider it as something separate from rest of our lives. This is also how Buddha taught the lay people and even the newly ordained sangha.
I don't know why it is written Ajahn Brahmali, when actually is Ajahn Mudito, who delivered such beautiful talk and Should be fixed it I do admired both them.
Many people dont seem to appreciate generosity or other kind acts.. its almost like kindness is considered a weakness sometimes. Its really strange. Instead, many ego driven negative behaviours are celebrated. People who are kind to/genuinely interested in others, and not prisoners of their own ego/story are seen as uninteresting. I remember from early on loving people who had this warm, understanding, 'universal' presence, and I think I have the ability to be like that too. Nowadays Im just sorry to observe there arent many people like that in my life. In an environment where wrong kind of behaviour is encouraged its very easy to become curled up and not let your own beautiful self shine, that then hurts you innerly because you want to interact in a positive way.
great teacher, i really enjoy his teachings, please can you make a teaching on voidness, there is so much confusion out there about this topic, again ajhan Brahmali you are a great teacher, and speak the true dharma. merci beaucoup, j'apprends beaucoup en vous ecoutant.
Thank you for the wonderful talk. 🙏🙏🙏 Wonder if anyone knows the name of the Sutta that Ajahn was referring to at 34 mins, the simile of your goodness enveloping you like the shade of the mountain as the sun goes down. Beautiful indeed!
It's a title for senior monks in the Thai tradition. As for Brahm, it's short for Brahmavamso, which means excellent lineage, if I remember correctly. Not sure about the name Brahmali.
1 I am mostly thoughtless but not energetic or feel mindful but more like in the blank. Pl explain. I do meditate. 2 As a layperson is Nirvana possible 3 With all the kindness there are still people who suck you up. What do you do with people like that Thank you for this channel
Verse 168. The Righteous Are Happy - Here And Hereafter Rouse yourself, be diligent, in Dhamma faring well. Who dwells in Dhamma’s happy in this birth and the next.

Do all monks have "ajahn" before their name? What does this mean?
kloston1 Ajahn means teacher in Thai
5:05 The slightest irritation and the slightest desire blurs the ability to meditate
first
haha you are you beat me to it :)
Thank you
