- Fear creates so much suffering and unnecessary problems in our lives, and for many people a key aim is to overcome fear and experience a state of fearlessness. Ajahn Brahm explains how it's important to understand fear and even to understand why we are addicted to fear.
I could spend the rest of my lifetime finding a better talk/lecture on any subject in existence and I will fail. It's incredible how you are able to produce a talk of this power, emotion and significance on the fly off the top of your head. You're absolutely incredible Ajahn Brahm. Forever grateful for your lifetime of service to humanity. Sadhu!
Thank you Ajahn Brahm, you've changed my life. 💛
"You can't control the world but you can control your attitude towards it." So simple but I always forget! Thank you.
Fear is debilitating. Only compassion can counteract it. No matter what happens, if I stay on my breath and in the present, I can forget the fear.
I have just realized i am addicted to fear, strong emotions and drama. Thank you!!
Ajahn Brahm is the man!
I love all his talks, very funny and down to earth. I've learned so much from him on how to just be. Wish I would have started this journey earlier but better late than never.
Ajahn Brahm, I cannot go to Perth, but if there was even the remote possibility that I might want to or could be a monk, it would be an honor to be under your tutelage and to call you my Master. Your teachings continue to bring wisdom and joy into my life. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!

Thank you for this fearless talk. It is helping me with my anxiety.
When we're afraid, we panic and when we panic, we make what we're afraid of happen. Thank you for this wonderful teaching!
It's amazing to hear Ajahn Brahm say that the emotion of 'fear' is not necessary at all, and when you think about it, it makes complete sense! I wish everyone watching this video to overcome their own fears.
I love you, Ajahn Brahm. You open my eyes, you wake up my heart to love. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your wisdom, humanity, compassion, humour and kindness! XX
This is such a classic talk by Ajahn Brahm. Wonderful✨
I watched this video before my presentation in a big conference. It really helped me getting rid of nervousness, and that presentation became my best talk ever. Thank you Ajahn Brahm.
Thanks a lot for another great talk. Really made me feel peaceful. Loved this quote - "Have a sense of humor and you'll never be afraid".
This is one of my favorite talks 👏 I need to share this with my father & I hope he has an open heart to hear it
Thank you so much Ajahn Brahn. I've lived my whole life being motivated by beating myself into subjection, with a fear of punishment. I will do work on mettha meditation now with acceptance of compassion and kindness to myself, which I was taught was cowardness. Thank you for your loving kindness!
thank you ajahn brahm- thank you for making my life and the lives of so many people better; may you attain Nirvana.
Thank you Ajahn Brahm. Ya, I will cultivate the right intention by laying many moments of peace in life.
🌷Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu🌷
Thanks a lot for these inspirational teachings. They dispel my fear and worry. Even with death I am not afraid, nothing can really upset us. Put peace and kindness between everything and us. Sadhu sadhu
I respect this sooo much!! Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu!
excellent, excellent, excellent! Thank you! from Atlanta, Ga, USA. 2019
thank you this is another amazing talk. I could listen to you all day . you bring me so much peace I can't thank you enough
So cool to hear Ajahn Brahm masterfully recount an anecdote from the Kung Fu TV series
Another amazing talk, I could listen to you all day
I've watched it many times, and I'll do it many more. An amazingly wise Dhamma talk. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu 🙏
Me too Sedth. He is beautiful and so serene
A very appropriate talk for these times. Blessings to Ajahn Brahm and the BSWA.
🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Ajahn Brahm! Love you! Be blessed!
What a beautiful talk! Thank you
Sadhu sadhu sadhu 🙏🏼 much gratitude for the wonderful teacher and the deep message. I hear more every time I hear it!
Wonderful. Thank you Ajahn Brahm.
this is the second time I see this talk and I realized I never had peace in my life. I always enjoyed sports and relationships to the limit and now I see why... I was seeking for "the thrill" of it. In other words never being natural about myself... thanks Ajan Brahm from the bottom of my heart!
Medytacja spokoju, miłości i wdzięczności.
Yet again another wonderful lecture. Thank you
how glad i am to encounter your videos. just reminds me everytime the important points of life
Thank you for posting this video. Ajahn Brahm
I'm not supposed to be living here and the neighbor was mad when the door slammed and screamed at me, so I said terrible words to her it turned ugly... she called the cops and they said if I talked to her again I'd be arrested... I was afraid of being evicted and homeless, and afraid to make up with her... but I did after watching this video... thanks Ajahn Brahm 😁
Love all the talks , who needs valium?
Ajahn Brahm, you ve helped me so much through these talks . Thank you
You selling? I’ll take some.
@@seanthemoneymagnet2158 watch out for that stuff. Mara is restless, so be on your toes. What appears to be pleasure is in fact stress. The Evil One never sleeps, so be mindful. I love you.
I asked my doctor this morning if she thought I was in bad shape. She said without hesitation….. YES! The doctors tell me I have maybe a few days left to live!
Thanks. :) So far I hadn't got the opportunity to read any of his books, but from his talks and other writings it is quite clear that he understands our present crisis very well. He even wrote to KFC regarding chickens. To be honest, he is the only living Buddhist teacher I know whom work I would not consider unjustly anthropocentric. This is a tough think to say, I know; but this is what I must say to clearly express my present feelings and understanding.
Lacking in gentle KINDNESS is why you are afraid. WHEN YOU ARE KIND TO ANYTHING, YOU DON’T HAVE ANY FEAR. WE CREATE FEAR. HOW? By being unkind. You create the FEAR that you have by your UNKINDNESS.
Thank you for another wonderful talk Ajahn B.
Thank you again ajahn brahm!
Thank you for uploading this lecture.
Thank you! I love your talks! Long and happy life to you! Metta!
Wonderful as always
Thank you Venerable 💖
When you spoke about the dog barking it reminded me of when there was a dog in our who was left out all night and barked away. I heard that instead of focusing on the barking focus on the silence in between the barks. Game changing!
Great Talk Ajah Brahm!
I wish I have the opportunity to attend Ajahn Bram's meditation.
wisdom yet again! Thankyou!
Thanks for the posting, Ajahn Brahm is the man!!!! I love this talk and it makes me feel fearless.
I feel a profound, unusual sense of peace because of this video. Thank you very much. :)
I really enjoyed listening to what he had to say. Thank you for posting this video.
Om Guruvea Namah 🌟🌺🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🌺🌟👍👍👍🌟🌺🙏🏼🌺🌟
Love this Q&A. No Fear
Fear is awful, I'm now learning how to let that go when it's not necessary.
Thank you Ajahn Brahm
Always amazing advice. Thank you so much.
Thanks Ajahn Brahm. You've done a lot to help me relaaaax.
The barking dog was a nice touch. Serendipity at its finest...
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ajahn Brahm, I am so grateful I found you. Your words and wisdom have helped me grow so rapidly and deeply. My deepest love and respect to you, my friend.
"Fear" is the wrong word.... Respect things, and take care of your mind. I have been guilty of letting anxiety take hold and as Ajahn says this is just the way of the lazy mind. People can learn so much from this Guru!
Thank you A.B.
fearlesssness, my goal :-). Much Love and Kindness from Belgium for All...
🙏🏻 Thank you very much
อาจารย์ สุดยอดเลย สาธุค่ะ
Also, I think it is very negative to leave insults on the comment page. If you don't like the talk, find one you do. Why waste your energy upsetting people who liked the talk? Blame and insult is not useful for anyone.
I think you're an idiot
@@marckipfer8025 I guess it takes one to know one. Kudos on your confession
@@FATGOOFAS Marc can feel that way. You must allow others to be themselves. Try to refrain from negative speech. :)
Awesome perspective! Kudos!
@Redeemer10000- Hello there. I am a Buddhist monk in La Puente, CA, and I wanted to answer your question. First off you need to come to terms with the fact that all beings must die. It is a fact of nature. The Buddha taught that old age, sickness and death happen to ALL of us. To be afraid of the inevitable is irrational... Come to that realization. Secondly, we (me, even as a monk) can NEVER know what will happen when we die...
Thank you for this useful video.
This interesting talk has grounded and encouraged me and made me think of others.
Great wisdom man.... from whom we can learn how to behave kindly toward our fears...we can not control people actions around us but we can control our attitudes toward them, by being nice and kind...that's the key!!!
Thank you.
Fabulous discussion.
Very good! The use of fear as being "unethical" is a great idea! If only we could apply this idea to every human endeavor! Brahm's right. And I think that's where our governments are going so wrong worldwide. Our representatives are themselves governed by fear, so of course they're using it. In my country, they're even recommending teachers wear guns! As if their children should think they're in an actual prison everyday (vs just feeling like it sometimes :p ) . And that's *madness*! Especially in "the land of the Free". We always talk about not letting terrorists win by instilling fear and instead choose to be even more free and to laugh even more and love even more. But the gun lobby is in fear for its power over or politicians. And the forces of darkness in human nature, our greed and lust for control and power, are trying to save these politicians from being brought to Justice and to take our government down. And these same politicians want to go back to segregating society by haves and have notss, and by race and gender and religion Because their supporters, their voters who are mostly the old ones, actually believe or hope somehow if we went back to the 40s and 50s that they'd be happier, younger, richer, and they'd matter again. Even Trumps fear got him into trouble long ago when he feared not being the favorite son. When he feared going to Vietnam. When he feared not being wealthy and handsome. When he feared not getting a loan to get out of his debt, again. When he feared being old and powerless. Until he finally got to the point he feared not being feared. And beca use "the leader of the free world" is afraid of age and powerlessness and poverty, who do you think his targets for destruction are?
The very people here who believed his lies to them. Their fears *will* be realized if the fearless in our government don't send this pseudo-leader packing. And I admit my concern - nut fear - for BSWA right now is some of them Matt not realize that by losing Brahm as their Spiritual Director, they may very well get someone in his place that causes any of *their* fears for BSWA, to be realized. :( And I'm not even a member! :p I'm not concerned for Brahm or any of the monks and nuns, so much as those who have ONLY the BSWA in Perth or the larger region. Anyway, sadhu cubed.
beautiful information, thank-you...
Fear as the emotion blows you of your socks, and while hanging there somewhere in thin air that makes you afraid and makes you wanna come down again and stay grounded. It's a circle untill we die perhaps and our spirit will be lifted up as a whole.
Thank you!
I wish I could like this video more than once
This is good for this present time. Amitofu
So beneficial. Thank you for doing what you do** Such empowering and truly truthful stuff eh! Be still xx

I thought you had suddenly got a tattoo!!! But it's the shadow of the Mike on your arm 😅😂🤣🤩
Thank you so much. You really help me.
this was a good talk, it related to me lot it is not just about the childhood notion of talking to strangers, no man, it goes much deeper than that, you see sometimes when i am having fun being an adult, i tend to shy up, not that there is anything wrong with it on days you don't have to get up early, but i sometimes i fear people are calling me a loser when i go to bed for work,
"Fear is the mind killer..."

True True True ... ♥️ UR TALKS ♥️
Determination and Running Consistency
thank you!!! sadhu sadhu sadhu
Wonderful talk, self-fulfilling prophecies surely are odd creatures.
I do think that sports and good nutrition have very significant effects on body and mind though. Surely the attitude towards life is crucial, but there's no reason not to improve one's well-being where it's that easy.
"Respect it, but don't be afraid. Respect the venom of the snake, etc etc."
If you wish to hear a Buddhist lecture on such topics, seek out books written by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
Fear!!
Good talk!
Fantastic I admire all your talks I too want to build a house piece by piece by Peace Thank you very very much🙏👍😄😀🌹🌹🌹
He got rid of my fear of flying :)
"the real fearlessness.. you know what's going on, doesn't matter what happens..."
made my day definityly! :D
There is a way to identify the source of your fear: meditate. Attend to it. It can be scary but so so worth it.
First, why are you afraid of death? Just live your life wisely, earnestly and happily. I think people are afraid of death is because of regrets, or fear of the unknown don't worry!
Think of it this way, if you don't reincarnate you won't have to die twice!
