    What a lovely man
    I was taking a shower & listening to him speak about learning how to self accept - and it occurred to me - how I spent my life pushing & pulling myself to do better & never feeling it’s good enough ..
    > I think I’m going to stop being so pushy on myself ⛲️🤸🏼🌈🧘🏻

    "All this self-improvement nonsense ... is that self-love or is that self-hatred?" 💪🏻
    Investigate before waking up at 5 to go to the gym and put on muscles to become "the better version of yourself" as these days many people love to tell you in order to sell you their courses or books on ... self-improvement!
    Thanks, Ven. Ajahn Brahm, another priceless teaching. 🙏🏼

      I just wanted to let you know that you are so blessed to have the chance to be or to have been in the proximity of such a great spiritual guide and human being.

    In reply to my friends saying their God is the only way to heaven.....
    Thats the difference between Buddhism and other religions. All others say they are the creators and only way to salvation.
    Buddhism is a “causal effect” teaching..(no blind faith, do it and experience it !)
    Budhdha himself said, I am only a normal human being that cultivated supreme levels of good qualities (any u could think of) throughout Samsaara.
    There are 21 levels (I might be wrong with the number) of Heavens..
    3 exclusive to Buddhists based on their level of attainment towards Nirvana.
    Any other human can go to other heavens.
    Also, Budhdha has preached, distance to, time relative to earth, life span etc... in all those heavens.
    So Buddhism is for intelligent not for unwise. 🙏🙏

    I don’t care if u r gay or straight, black or white, good or bad... all I have for you is love compassion and kindness in my heart.
    Because thats why my teacher Lord Budhdha asked from me..
    To love even the killer who is cutting me in half with a Saw. ☺️🙏🙏🙏

    I remember Ajahn Brahm specifically saying about a year ago that he would not run himself ragged as Ajahn Chah had. I have seen no sign of him living up to that promise, and I'm sure it's because he's so devoted to BSWAs entire health, and the various sanghes he's spiritual director of, which is very admirable. I would far rather see him follow his self-dictate not to spread himself too thin. Of course it's his call at the end of the day. But people should not demand so much of him or put him up on a pedestal. If one must focus on an entity, let it be the Buddha and the Buddha alone.

    Ram temple site in Ayodhya a Buddhist Sthal’
    Claiming that the ancient artifacts found during the land leveling work at Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya on Thursday proved that it was a Buddha Sthal (Buddhist pilgrimage site), Congress leader Udit Raj demanded analysis of the recovered items by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). The Indian government and Archaeological Survey of India don't follow the constitution. By law, they not spoused to build a temple. The Buddhist community in Indian is unfairly treated. Can an international community like you help this poor person fighting for justice?
