Blissful people never seeks for compliments. ...🙏 or any gifts. ... they simply let go. ...
Thank You for this talk, especially the part of not judging people, and about 'features'. 🌝
Your observations on feeling uncomfortable in a six star hotel room reminded me of how Diana was suffering and felt like a prisoner inside Buckingham palace. Even the most luxurious environments can induce a feeling of suffering. Fascinating
Ok. But on average it's better to be in beautiful and cozy place than in one that isn't. And he mentions exaggerations as if they were the rule.
I don’t think being in a luxurious home would make my life that much better, really.
I recently had an extremely vivid dream where I was standing in front of monk sitting to the left of Ajahn Brahm. He was very tall and towered me in stature. My heart raced. I asked him, "do you know Thanisarro Bhikku?" to which he replied, "we all do."
I woke up immediately. Thank you for visiting my dream, venerable.
Ajahn Brahm is such a good teacher! Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
Good day everybody have a wonderful weekend.
After seeing the news and how politicians and the media and others focus on another’s failings and attack relentlessly, this is so nice and soothing to hear. Being kind to ourselves and others 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The same moment 15 years before. ....i was reading one of His books ...still same to the very moment 🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic talk as usual... Made me cry for some reason! But feel better post cry haha thanks
And thankyou ever so much for answering my question ajahn. I feel confident in the prospect of one day being sober and feeling healthy and alive again.
@Rich Evandroo keep up the good work Rich. I have faith you can do it.!!!!
@@janeyd5280 thank you so much! :)
@@richevandroo5041 you are very welcome 🙏 🤗.
Such a good reminder to not label people. All humans make mistakes and we need to remember humans are not mistakes, love this retrospective of many of your stories. Thanks you, Ajahn Brahm. Sadhu. Sadhu. Sadhu. Just want to add that your talks are so positive and gentle that while they contain great insight would be wonderful to fall to sleep to. Consider it an honor that folks fall asleep at times. Like the woman who fell asleep at the hall, your talks are safe as is the hall full of Sanga members.
Oftentimes we label and judge others because deep deep within we are afraid of seeing some of that within ourselves... It's true. Let's take homeless people or drug addicts. Deep deep weithin we know that they are just like us. That we are just like them. That we are just as fragile as they are. And we really don't like that.
No judging. No labeling. Just see the humanity in everyone.
@@bastian6173 Agree everyone is addicted, though not everybody takes drugs. Its exactly the same clinging. Sadly there is so much hurtfull stigma further probletemizing a disease wich should not be discriminated against. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu to Ajahn Brahm for always seeing the person instead of just the disease and the prejudices people have about this disease.
❤🩹🙏🙏🙏
Any place you don't want to be...is suffering. For this wanting leads to suffering.

@Buddhist society - Can I make a request? If possible, can Ajahn Brahm talk about what's going on in the world right now? I'm thinking not to roll my sleeve but I'm not sure if this is the right decision. Please help.
I doubt you will get direct advice from Ajahn Brahm about taking a vaccine, but as a lay person I'll tell you to go get it! Protecting yourself is selfless so long as you spread good will around.
Check out yongey mingyur rinpoche
He’s vaccinated.
@Raj Iyer How on earth has a Covid vaccine ‘the potential of dragging your mind in the mud’?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇲🇽

When you haven't listened to Ajahn Brahm for 2 years because the stories repeat and they are still repeating....
Don't compare, don't criticize, don't condemn; just be happy and live and let live
What is. your point? It sounds insulting. People repeat bible stories a thousand times a day. If you listen carefully, what he has to say is the same story, but there is a different lesson.
I find that sometimes repetition can reveal to us that we may not listen as well as we think we do. So, sometimes we hear something new, even in something old. :)
I've been alive my whole life and it just keeps repeating. Alive day after alive day...
@@suntzu2ya358 so why did you just do that???
