I was born as a christian and try to practice it (in the last 50 years) - When the teaching of the Buddha came - I was able to understand and give compassion to my religion which is so much broken, hurt and in pain. Ajahn Brahm gave more insights that are practical and effective. Now I can be a better christian. Thank you.
Hi hux bells, I came across a documentary about Buddha's life, that where I started. In my christian tradition we are taught the we have to accept things as a matter of faith. In the teaching of the Buddha it clearly defines the things as they are, how it surface, the source if it - and how to end it. What I really love about the teaching is its non-judgemental, non-forcing and non-authoritative approach - which show a lot of humility and compassion. It doesn't dictates what you think. You have to figure it out -your own progress. Yes, I do meditation, but I use it to get what I want for material things, I was programming the mind to achieve earthly results- but these kind of mind stuff leads to unsatisfactory and more craving. After learning from Buddha's teaching - I started to aim nothingness - just stillness in meditation. Peace.
Listening to Ajhan Brahm's stories before I proceed to bed teach me a lot in life. Spending one hour on this talks has an immense value .... Thank you for uploading ...
He is an interesting and fascinating man who has coped with some very interesting situations when I have been there ( and by the way I don't think his audience find him as funny and humorous as he really is, I really like his sense of humour ) He is very accessible, humble and easy to talk too. I had no idea he had such a following when I was attending the temple. 💕
Buddha spoke of cultivating loving-kindness, being a mother to the world and ourselves in metta sutta; only that kind of care takes us beyond survival fear; rare beings have no spikes...so true..making peace within us and the world and experience perfect stillness before we die!
Very accurately delivered the meaning of "unconditional" in/with "true" love. Ajahn Brahm is among the many of Buddha's expedients to pave individuals find their paths under own free will. No conditions applied. RIGHT understanding/view ignites RIGHT effort.
Ajahn Brahm speaks the truth of all truths. He is truly an enlightened man. His ego is barely there. Purest of hearts. I beg you to listen to him if you want genuine peace and happiness. I wish happiness and enlightenment for all.
I needed to hear this particular talk tonight. I've been feeling vacant, empty and lifeless -- "lost" all week. I'm feeling balance centered again. Thank you for uploading. Sadhu 3X.
Actually, based on other talks by Ajahn Brahm, and deeper into Buddhist teachings, the answer to "Why are we here?" is that we were being pushed by the force of past actions and desires, and we can't help but being here! That's Karma. We were "subconsciously" drawn by the forces of past habits and preferences to seek out and attach to the things we like and desire. So life doesn't necessarily has any meaning at all. It is just a process.
point of life: leave the world a better place than you found it, harm none, be good, be strong, work hard, be smart, honour, respect & appreciate your family, health, friends, money, work, achieve self actualisation, leave a legacy of love, happiness, gratitude, make your life an example with no guilt or regrets or & no wrong done.
Once Ifelt like disappearing from the world, after listening to his talk, I felt relax and forget the stress that I am facing. His talk is therapeutic.
Ive come to notice that all the great enlightened teachers through out time have said the same simple thing...Love your neighbor as you would love yourself...the Buddha, Jesus, Gandi,and many others, all of them said this in one way or another...Ajhan Brahm says and seems to teach the very same thing i see nothing but goodness in what he says or how he teaches thank you Ajhan Brahm youve helped to grow in my spiritual life.
Ajhan, you are amazing, with your twist of humour on each subject helps to heal, my daughter took her life april 2018 her son (grandson) and i listen to your videos for comfort, you have helped us, and one day i would love to have the pleaaure of meeting you
For people who say Ajahn Bramavamso didn't answer the question: People want ready-made answers to believe in. As in the time of the Buddha: "Is there a 'self' or not?" If the Buddha gives a damn answer it becomes a damn belief ... So, the Buddha taught a way to go to see for oneself and not have a belief in a ready-made answer. More often we prefer to have a false certainty than to follow the path. We might think it's more comfortable ... Many thanks to Ajahn Bram for proposing this path of unconditional love, the path of "taking care" to see for ourselves the answer.
Love all your talks you are so wonderful and give the world so much wisdom and insight . One day I will come to Perth and come to see you. I have a few friends there also. I find your talks so soothing to ones soul.
Thankyou for your patience. I watch every upload not only because i am a stressed out mother of the modern world and it takes alot longer to practice this but also because it is nice to hear your talks and know i am listening with likeminded people.
I love listening to music...listening to ajanh brahm is like enjoying beautiful music from your favourite musical band....waooo...same kudos to lama ritchen
Dear Ajahn Brahm, I'm sorry to contradict you but I believe yo have no other choice at all but to be a very little bit proud, because the Good you are doing for all of us and bringing to the universe, is inmense. Thank you!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Ajahn Brahm 🙏😊 i think i'm gonna watch this video over and over and over, because there are many jewels wrapped up in this sphere of humility, wisdom, and kindness energies you are sending out - even through a video posted a few years ago 🙏❤️ i can't thank you enough for being sincere and honest. And I'm touched because you also don't want pride and complacency to get in the way. Sadhu 🙏 sadhu 🙏 sadhu 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️
its really sad to me hearing him talk about the unconditional love of a mother. my mother is mentally ill and abusive physically and emotionally. she rips pictures off of walls and punches us kids. we're old enough to be out of the house now but mother always says I deserve to live in a homeless shelter and that I fucked up her life by being born. she's a holy terror. I wish I had a mom that loved me. but i guess it's good for non-attachment reasons. because of her I've learned to detach myself from her and from what I want her to be and instead accept her for who she is even if that means avoiding her for months at a time when she has episodes and bans me from visiting her
Whitney Dahlin I'm sorry to hear about your mother.. she is obviously ill.. just remember that those are her issues and it's not u that is the problem... much love to u and wish u the best life has to offer.. including unconditional love :)
although your biological mother is obviously not in the right frame of mind to be a maternal figure for you, this doesn't mean that you can't find other caring and inspiring women (or even men) who can help to guide you. i hope that your mother makes it through this dark period. i for one will always love you unconditionally
One thing everyone remembers about my friend is his heart.... His kindness. How much of an amazing person he was. This makes me have peace about him graduating from this life.
Ajahn Brahm, grateful for your illuminating words of wisdom. Like the moon i bask in the reflected glory. It occurred to me during this talk that you love unconditionally when you are still because it reveals the beautiful stillness deep inside all forms in this dance of existence.
Let's not waste your precious time responding to reply attacking Ajahn Brahm. Instead, use your time and spread Ajahn Brahm teachings of unconditional love and compassion, kindfulness to yourself; and service to others.
My mother was incapable of unconditional love. She was a narcissistic and hence there was trauma, and drama in my upbringing. How does Buddhism address such early damage?
Gayan Perera, Ajahn Brahm is an enlightened being. When one is enlightened, there is no more "Buddhism" in that person. And there certainly is no more Christianity either. An enlightened being is above and beyond any "ulterior" motive as you say. And Gayan Perera, you have it backwards. The Buddha was 500 plus years before Jesus. So it's highly probable that Jesus was taught by a Buddhist monk when he was all alone up in those mountains. Also the Four Noble Truths is the foundation of existence. They cannot be replaced by any other teachings or religion -- most especially, not by Christianity. I've also chatted with Christians ... heck, I was one myself. I don't recall any of them say anything about one having unconditional love. All I ever hear them say is "don't accept who you are, you're a sinner and need to change, you're going to hell for your belief, you're not good enough, don't love thy neighbor because he's gay, you'll burn in hell if you don't proclaim Jesus as your Savior, and on and on, Blah, blah, blah." There is a lot of hatred in your Christianity dude. Hatred of oneself and others. Hatred of others who think differently. There's no unconditional love. It is an intolerant religion.
Gayan Perera Through praise or charms or speaking well, Through giving or through tradition, Whatever things he finds are good, Is where he should make his effort.
Hey Gayan Perera, Dude, you are really full of yourself (your-"self"). Come to the teachings of "Anatta" (non-self or no self) to help you break through the thick wall and prison of your own making. Until you do, all your comments, all your advice are coming from a deluded "state of being", coming from this inflated sense of "ego" ... gibberish or nonsense. And as for my own enlightened, I'm far from it. And if I were, I wouldn't proclaim to be either, because then "that" would be coming from my delusion. You need to concern yourself with your own enlightenment, and not others.
Gayan Perera when there's no self then there's no I nor you nor them who need convincing...if there's no self there's no need to be vindictive..when there's ego you want to change things or rather in ajahn brahm's words 'cure' things to your likings or dislikings, when you attach yourself and harp on your disliking over something or someone that means you yourself is caught in the delusion of a self..first step to get over delusional 'self' is to "accept things as they are" and not try to attach to thoughts as me, myself and I and be driven by them. only then will you see the truth...that's the real dhamma that lord buddha taught and from how i understand that's the profound meaning behind ajahn brahm's sermon. again no hard feelings on you i just felt like saying this out of compassion, peace! over and out!
Was it after this talk came the advise "Make peace, be kind, be gentle" with others & oneself? The more i know about Ajahn Brahm, the more i revere him. May he be well.
It seems like so many people don't accept love, won't let it in. I think that makes it difficult to love sometimes. It's like it is okay if it is within your family, but outside of it, if you say you love someone, some people seem to have strange reactions. Like it is overwhelming or it makes them uncomfortable. Or someone says it, but their actions say otherwise - like they neglect you. What is love? It is sometimes hard to give it, when it doesn't feel like you are getting any yourself and when rejection happens. I think that is why having children is popular. I won't be having any, so I feel like I am in a unique situation, looking for unconditional love when it is almost always automatically there between a mother and a child. I hope I can make enough friends and a partner in life that loves unconditionally. It makes me sad not to have that. Source of my depression, I believe.
One should always be able to ask questions and think for yourself. The religion I was raised in, thinking for yourself and asking questions was not allowed.
There are some really deep things were said in this video.. And why do i feel they are so deep? Because i didn't reached to the earlier stages of understanding yet... so understand slowly.. meditation can help you get there..
Jokes can only happen among people/others (good or bad). If I think if I got entangled in it/them, that's when I think I was being laughed at or kind of victim of some sorts. I think to be free from entanglement is to learn to see the non-self, no-ego because it takes one to laugh or entangle the other if they are all victims themselves altogether.
I cry sometimes when I feel like my other side of family left me out I wish they can call me tell me that they miss me love me but one day I love this monk saibadi I Jon
We can not choose to be born! WE ARE CHOSEN ! Most of us are planed to become a family! Some are by mistakes HE HEE ! We are born to replace our mom and dad genes. To carry on the last Name. To make it a better world for every one! Not to make it worst or to destroy the world. Like people are doing NOW DAYS ! i would hate to have children in this world NOW DAYS to face the problems that we posed up on them! Its so hard to even stay alive now days. No one but a few hand fulls like me believe in GOD ! FOLKS THERE IS A LOVE GOD! There is a heaven and a hell ~ live to be faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ ~ God love you, and your Sins are forgiving ~ if YOU ONLY ASK ~ JESUS FOR FORGIVENESS ~ Every thing in the BIBLE IS TRUE ! the rules are written in STONE! Live by them! Praise Our Lord Jesus Christ ! Amen
This was the most beautiful talk that I have seen about genuine happiness! I would love to translate it to Portuguese so I could share it with many others who would benefit from it. Is it possible, that I would generate subtitles in Portuguese for this video? Can anyone help me?
Why we Born; why are we Hear? Is the question relating to Birth, and if so does this imply a beginning to which indicates an ending? Or is existence eternal! If so there can be no birth as such...
I listen every night before bed for the last year so comforting really helps me deal with this life 🕉

Thank you Ajahn Brahm
thank you. this is probably my favorite talk so far. I've only heard a dozen or so tho. so I'm sure there's much more to love ^_^
Ajahn Brahm, grateful for your illuminating words of wisdom. Like the moon i bask in the reflected glory.
It occurred to me during this talk that you love unconditionally when you are still because it reveals the beautiful stillness deep inside all forms in this dance of existence.
People are born to do good.
And the way is immortal.

I hope that someday you can come to the central new york usa area. I would love to meet you.
My mother was incapable of unconditional love. She was a narcissistic and hence there was trauma, and drama in my upbringing. How does Buddhism address such early damage?

There is a lot of hatred in your Christianity dude. Hatred of oneself and others. Hatred of others who think differently. There's no unconditional love. It is an intolerant religion.
Gayan Perera
Through praise or charms or speaking well,
Through giving or through tradition,
Whatever things he finds are good,
Is where he should make his effort.
Gayan Perera you seem so unhappy :-(
Gayan Perera I wish you happiness and wisdom in your quest to prove the lay people (like me) that your ego is so big :-)
Hey Gayan Perera,
Dude, you are really full of yourself (your-"self"). Come to the teachings of "Anatta" (non-self or no self) to help you break through the thick wall and prison of your own making. Until you do, all your comments, all your advice are coming from a deluded "state of being", coming from this inflated sense of "ego" ... gibberish or nonsense.

Simply Beautiful.
This is like a sit-down comedian... instead of a stand-up one.
Troll! I don't care what you respect but don't come here to disrespect.
BTW, Buddha invites everyone to examine his teachings. Peace!
Peace to you to and let people voice an opinion.
Voice an opinion is fine but not with disrespect.
+Saao Siam There is no disrespect, he is nothing but a sit-down comedian.
+Nessie Ness You have interesting observation... you are saying he is wise comedian. I like that! :)
There are some really deep things were said in this video.. And why do i feel they are so deep? Because i didn't reached to the earlier stages of understanding yet... so understand slowly.. meditation can help you get there..
and i think your monastery could do to train staff on dealing with peoples emotions in a sensitive manner
Amazingly beautiful
Thank you for caring 💟
Thumbs up for liking The Doors :-)
absolutely!!!!!
Jokes can only happen among people/others (good or bad). If I think if I got entangled in it/them, that's when I think I was being laughed at or kind of victim of some sorts.
I think to be free from entanglement is to learn to see the non-self, no-ego because it takes one to laugh or entangle the other if they are all victims themselves altogether.
We'll never know why anything exists, just enjoy the ride.
What a beautiful little pond.
but we don't learn we just go round in circles always repeating the past
Thankyou.
Beautiful
Can some member of the temple purchase a proper camera phone that can capture these classic talks in High-Definition.......
I cry sometimes when I feel like my other side of family left me out I wish they can call me tell me that they miss me love me but one day I love this monk saibadi I Jon
