Thank you ajahn brahm. Never thought i will put a comment in youtube. But i had to. I’m 26 year old flight attendant. We are based away from home, hectic flying shedule. There were times i could not get up from bed. But got in to a habit of listening to ur talk while m getting ready for flights. It strengthen me everyday. Keep me away from getting depressed and fighting with my bf. Why!! Cz everytime i keep high expectations, ur talks keep me on ground. Thank you million times. Hope i would get to see you one day!, sadhu! Sadhu!
My daughter is an investigative social worker, child protection service in Asheville, NC. She is emotionally exhausted too. Sending to her.
Thank you. She is wiped out. She must continue for being single homeowner, medical benefits. She has 2 horses, 3 dogs and a pot belly pig and makes equestrian photography. For love, compassion and family.
@@Skyelement84K i expect happy life and nice future for you and your daughter🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
One of the wisest people on the planet! Haven’t listened to him for years but forgot how valuable he is in helping people in their personal traumas. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
💯
I love Ajanh Brahm' s funny, kind heart...great sense of humor 🙏❤
His Australian sense of humor in concert with his level of humility hooked me right away. I know that we work AWAY from attachment but i had to say that. It's accurate, what a great teacher !!!........Ralph Mellor,pgh pa
@@jarredhischemellor6489 the man‘s english 😊
English sense of humour!! Sardonically dry but lovable!!
Truly a man of wisdom and compassion… it’s your job to care not cure ….. he is very special and Ajahn Cha would have been pleased with him.
Thank you Ajahn Brahm, you have been a pillar of strength for me and your teachings have been so profound with a massive impact im my life and the life of others around me. I am absolutely grateful that you have conveyed Buddha's teaching in the most valuable ways and easiest way to understand. I AM GRATEFUL 🙏
Thank you Ajan Braham. You completely changed the way I was thinking. May you achieve the noble merits you seek for. Sadhu!
Thanks Ajhan Brahm Sir, Love from India
Peace and love blessings everybody. From America. Washington dc.
I love to listens to these speeches they throw me into a different dimensions and everything starts to make sense again! Thank you Ajahn Brahm!!🙂
I am becoming more and more fond of Ahjan Brahm’s Darma talks. So helpful and humble 🙏🏼
I simply love you Ajahn! Brahm!
30:00 Great to hear Ajahn Brahm talking about the challenges of mental health vulnerabilities
Thank you for telling the story of the bandits and the monks. In a world where selfishness and narcissism seems to run rampant. Somehow where we are ALL Equal and together/US/where we love each other as ourselves. Just like that powerful teaching we dont have to burn out on those who only want to take take take from us.
Got to love the lil burp after the gongs 😂 very human and relaxed!
What an amazing human being you are. I feel so lucky that you have come across my path.
You have helped me in so many things in life. I still fall in the trap of stress, of sadness and other challenges in life, but whenever I listen to your talks Ajahn Brahm, it really provides me with peace and happiness.
I will travel again one day to Australia but to personally thank you for the amazing service you do to me and to the world ♥️
How wonderful it is to know the world has such a... Friend. A real friend to all beings that's who Ajahn Brahm seems to be.
It is awesome awesome awesome!!! ♥
I couldn't agree with you more! Ajahn Brahm speaks with such integrity in that he is not teaching one thing and 20 minutes saying something that contradicts what he just taught. I feel like a number of the western teachers in America do that.
I’m glad I found your CZcams channel. Ten years ago I had way too many things go wrong in my life that led to a nightmare, that left me with breathing problems and other physical problems.
My doctor said it was stress. I’ve never found a cure. And that’s the mistake, thinking I need a cure. I realise it doesn’t work like that. Taking time out to look after myself is the key. Listening to your meditation has helped to move my mind into the right direction. Thank you.
Thank you for caring for us and what a wonderfull talked Ajahn Bram
This is exactly the talk I needed. I am emotionally exhausted from being terrible sick for over a year , made 100 times worse by severe side effects to medication. I basically had to become my own doctor. I’m now trying to get off the medication, but the withdrawal is just awful. Thank you again for your wisdom and compassion!
Wishing you happy healing ❤️🩹
Wish you speedy recovery
Prayers for your recovery 🙏 ❤
I’m sorry to hear this! I’m going through a similar experience. I wish you the best and hope we heal
Wishing you peace and healing. Persevere, you’ve come this far.
Happy 71th birthday Ajahm Brahm. Raymond Tran and Kyle Exley from Karnet.
Thank you Ajahm Brahm. Just the perfect talk and inspiration for me and others. Loved it and so very helpful.
I am heartbroken after 6 years relationship. It came to an end for good, i realize this now although its hard. I made mistakes but I will move on with more knowledge. I learned from the relationship and I am gratefull for the things we shared. I still love her for that...
Thank you for your wisdom and humour. You are always a joy to listen to 🥰
Buddha always be with us. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you once again. You help me in so many ways. May you have peace and good health always.
Caring for the tiredness…very profound! I get up early every morning so I can get to work on time. I tend to beat myself up for not getting enough sleep. But even when I’m “well-rested” I need to learn to care for myself instead of curing myself.
Sadhu sadhu sadhu 🙏🏽
What a great question! Thanks everyone.
Thankyou for your insight and sharing to us. Meta & 😘to everyone may you be free from suffering , 😘🙏👋😀

I never get sick of the 7 monks story :-) Every word is so profound! I enjoy every moment of this. Thank you Ajan Bhram 💖☮️
The Seven Monks Sutta is an exceptional teaching for sure. I've copied it into my favorite teachings, suttas, sutras journal. Large hardback journal that my family will get when i pass on to what's next.......Ralph H, pgh pa

What a beautiful sharing happy monk you are - thank you!! :)
Lovely a monk in the garden & walkies in the morning & a bowl of food a day. Fantastic. Years ago some of the northern lay people visited London uk & were invited to a millionaires residence. My friend was invited into the residence, however myself was shown to the small garden shed type meditation room. I was told this was made for the monks to stay overnight when they visited and that l could wait here while my friend was taken on a guided house tour. Upon returning she explained that the house had some lovely expensive items, which she enjoyed seeing and then l smiled as she said “oh wouldn’t it be nice to have a place to house visiting monks to allow a stay overnight”. I remember thinking all that luxury lots of empty rooms, yet the monks were left in a rather meagre, not very comfortable overnight shed, with a nonediscript Buddha stupa. Just like a dog, been given scraps. “No l thought my wish would be to give him the best room in the house & feel privileged to have the oppportunity of caring, sharing, loving approach. As we left we were called back & l did get to accompany my friend to the inside of the porch entrance. All very grand, but sadly it didn’t strike me as opulence. It frankly struck me as rather tardy decor. My sons girlfriend is a architect and she designs London lofts for clients. Costing large amounts. All the soft furnishings have to be coordinate matching, yet often she is obliged to visit late at night to discuss their designs formats. No real consideration given to her late evening returning home throughout London city alone. Basically no real caring to other peoples lifestyles, before their own, which one suspects is filled with making more money to finance their recent desire Rez London abodes. Like the past visit, one wondered if it was a kind of fashion statement, a monk shed in the garden, akin to a top style pedigree dog, one focal point to show friends. A far cry from our small northern monastery, which we lovingly modernised for the monks daily needs. One person joked “you know l love visiting monastery, because it’s better than my old tumble down home” . After we installed a real flushing toilet. Life teases leave it there woof woof , or l may wish l was a monk, sadly can’t wag my tale, so hope this past memory of a London tale helps. Meta & love to everyone . The present food increases suspect that the professor will have to redo his cost, it very cheap, a monks a smile is free, if all you give is a bowl of food. 😘😘😘🤭🙏👋🙂
❤ Thank You ❤
Ajahn Brahm this is one of the best I have heard from you. So on target for me. Love all of your stories. So meaningful. Thank you. Sadhu. Sadhu. Sadhu. 🙏🙏🙏 the medical person your disciple needs to see is a Gastroenterologist..
Wonderful question from a compassionate soul.
Thank you
Sadhu Sadhu SADHUUUUUUUUUU ❤️
Something i really needed to hear...

So part of the many reasons I can’t stand most people is because I hate myself, even tho the self that I hate is illusion and or delusion.
I love caring for people and being loving and kind but after that I’ll be running the opposite direction.
I don’t want your friendship or thanks or appreciation.
Just accept the love or kindness I’m offering and then move away quickly.
And please don’t try of love me or care for me. You will be rebuked and or disappointed.
This incarnation is baffling to the nonexistent “me” I imagine myself to be.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you teacher. The Palestinian holocaust is breaking my heart.
Saaaadu!

Ajhan Brahm nice to meet you thank you 4 fixing my bottom Brick; 1 Love ❤
Ahahha ^ ^
On the immigration visa ^ ^
If i was t living in this if some where else it would be different.. but if im living this life.. this life is winding everyday, everyday is something and something is worth having everyday .. when you have nothing is darkness..
AC/DC 😀 Just reinforces how ridiculous labels are
The Buddha says when listening to monks teaching in later times, to compare what is taught with sutta n Vinaya. After 500 years, there will be fake n wrong teachings even by famous monks. Beware, check against sutta n Vinaya in 5 nikayas as instructed by the Buddha in the nikayas. Don't simply accept and believe without checking. Much wrong teachings arise, fake Dhamma.. beware
i listen to him for years, it help me greatly for my metal health
Many people who knows the sutta well r arrogant & behave poorly. Liberation is not through theory but through action & practice on the Path
I would sacrifice the attacker.
If you do then the attacker would sacrifice you first😂
From you family family Asia fasipic uniErofa Darling Darling peroarticion god internasional tube one family World Citty Exfreess you

Idiots

Are you?

in the sake own shit vanity..peaple pretend to be some one else
Data science please. I dont practice buddhism. I believe in a heaven or hell, soul, cosequence in this life for actions if this life etc...not at all interested. Its the religious choice of those that desire to look spiritual without any accountability or personal holiness. The 'religion' of the stars. Was Epstein a fan too?
LOL Awww, you're cute! You wanna make sure everyone is miserable with you. A truly giving soul. May you be well rewarded for spreading your misery when you reach your heaven or hell. Not sure if this is data science but if you're not at all interested in something move on and don't disturb those who are interested. Wishing you sunshine, lollipops & rainbows everywhere!
