Ajahn Brahm is truly a gift to this world. I have not nor will I ever be able to meet him and yet I regard him as my teacher. In a long distance fashion via UA-cam I took the five precepts from him and consider myself a lay Buddhist in the Theravada tradition. Ironically, he was born one month before my youngest sister. I have most if his books and have watched many of his Dharma talks. I feel blessed to have gotten to know him even just a little bit via his writings and hearing his words. He is a gifted teacher. Sadhu sadhu sadhu. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Why did I start to cry after 5 minutes into the video. IDK. It may be because I’m seeing a wonderful, selfless and compassionate human being who started with meager beginnings but grew up to be one of mankind’s Giants ... and I’m happy to have known him, not personally, but just through his many talks. I’m also so very happy for him. My heart smiles when I see all the wonderful kind and caring things he’s done around the world ... and the millions who adore him. And I look at my own life, and where I’ve been and wonder if I could ever be like this man one day.
What a beautiful tribute to a most blessed being. Ajahn saved my life, just listening to his teachings and his own personality, his goodness and compassion. We are so blessed such a being is available for us. Sadhu and Metta beautiful Ajahn Brahmavamso 🙏🙏🙏
A remarkable human being. To me Ajahn Brahm is the embodiment of compassion and kindness. His talks and teaching style has made me see the world in a different way, kinder, more compassionate and inclusive. I hope he remains healthy for many more years. Thank you Ajahn for your service. It is beyond words.
A nice (and well deserved) tribute to Ajahn Brahm. May this season retreat brings you all the blessings. Happy birthday and grateful thanks for all you did and sill do 🙏🙏🙏
I cannot thank you enough for uploading this excellent biography of Ajahn. I have been following his teachings and his wonderful UA-cam videos for 15 years and he is for me, a life-long Buddhist, one of the most humble, most eloquent and revered Buddhists of the modern age. Bless you, sir, Ajahn Brahm!
You are truly a blessing to this world Ajahn Brahm. Your simplified teachings of the Dhamma with your own brand of sweet humour are priceless. With grateful thanks 🙏🙏
You are the smartiest teacher I've ever met. I start every day with listening your speech on UA-cam. Thank you for this and wish you health and smile for each your day❤⚘🎂
Whew. Saw the word "biography" & thought he'd suddenly died. (I know, death shouldn't upset us & we should not be attached, but i feel we just need him at this time on earth. How could we remember to keep calm & brew tea, w/out his jolly stories?🌏) So, big blessings, sooo glad you're alive, & happy birthday, from the Appalachian mountains in VA, USA. We love you!

Happy birthday, Ajahn Brahm! *sing* Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond changed my perspective on Buddhism/meditation ..and life! (And may as well has stopped me to off myself in very hard and confusing times.) Keep inspiring others.. Namo Buddhaya
