How To Overcome Mental Suffering | Ajahn Brahm | Ajahn Brahm Podcast

You can't control your body, feelings, or thoughts. Let go and be happy. The great monk advised against wasting time on things which have no solution, because it creates mental suffering. Mental suffering is the biggest killer, caused by our attitudes and conditioned responses to the world. Buddhism teaches us ways to overcome it. Accept the world as it is and stop trying to control it. This will stop the mental suffering. Sometimes we try and control things which are beyond our control, and that just creates more pain. Mental suffering is when you try to control your life When you let go of control, you stop suffering. The more you can let go, the more you can start loving life.

Please friend, remove ads from this video, it's not right. Dharma is free.

I didn't switch ads on and I make no income from UA-cam ads. You'll need to direct you comments towards UA-cam itself. ;)
