Thank you Ajahn Brahm once again. I am a mum who has tolerated and cared and loved her children through crying when they were babies like the baby crying in your flight I imagine. I did it through unconditional and absolute love and patience. Thank you for making me realise that I need to do it for myself too! Instead of getting irritated and frustrated with myself. Sadu sadu sadu.
When I know I've irritated someone or THEY are irritating me - it helps very much to think of what Ajahn Brahm teaches & I'm able to be calm & able to let things pass. Thank you Ajahn Brahm.
I don’t think I could ever be a monk ...LOL. It’s hard enough being a lay Buddhist let alone a monk who only eats once a day and have to endure mosquitoes. Thank you AB for becoming the caring loving monk that you are. Sadhu!
As Bob Marley used to sing, don't worry about a thing cos every little thing will be alright, boy did that song irritate me, now it has become my mantra.
This Dhamma talk has more relevance now, more so than 4 years ago. I was diagnosed with cancer last November 2021 and have completed 6 months of intense chemotherapy. I was expected not to make it after losing weight; going from 165 lbs to an emaciated 110 lbs in 4 weeks including muscle mass. But here I am. Aside from the painful physical experiences I’ve had to endure and still do to this day,, I find that I am more irritable than I’ve ever been . Everything irritates me now . Everything ! From barking dogs to nagging relatives, from having to bathe to cooking myself a meal. You’re never really cured from cancer once you get it. Yes, it may go into “remission”; but that just means it goes to sleep until it wakes up again. That’s how I see it. The change in my attitude is from the chemotherapy. One of its side effects is altering brain cells. So I’m hoping that through deep meditation , I can bring back some calm and peace back into my life!
The last long weekend in WA just a couple of weeks ago I stayed at his monastery in Serpentine. I met Ajahn Brahmali from Norway and Bhante Boddhirachitya from Ireland and Anagarikas who had come from far away: Switzerland, NZ, Germany, Finland, US, UK. Tomas, Richard, Carpell, Daniel, Andreas and Cameron. They live out there with kangaroos only an arms length away. If they're really serious about becoming a monk they shave off their eyebrows. Fasting in the afternoon is one of their precepts
I find it difficult to practice the teaching, especially with a partner that criticized me on the things that I did and my personality. It hurt to listen to what he said. When I asked him why he never praise me, he said it will only give me proud of myself I really don't know how to love and endure such person. Life itself is very difficult....work and making a living
Sue Low .... END YOUR RELATIONSHIP with this person. End it. And be done with it. Why continue to make yourself miserable. The person you need to love first (to have a loving and caring relationship) ..... is with yourself. Start there and see what happens.
my life really become happy and peaceful since im listening Honorable ajahn brahm's talk,.im really grateful to him & buddha dhamma.i think your speech is more practical and as well deep down to dhamma in simple understanding way.
I used to say the same thing about cold, when someone asked me if i wasnt feeling cold, I would say, you are cold coz you r thinking about it too much.. but the monk has taken it to another level by plucking his own tooth..

I've always been wondering. If I don't think of the past nor the future but only the present. But if the present is irritating physically or mentally, what do I do to be at peace with the present?
re98 wlk Thanks for the suggestion. I have been thinking about this for a while. I listened to Ajahn Brahms talk on Patience which comes close. The notion of this too shall pass, as life is always changing.Yes facing it and being with it with no judgement. I burnt myself today on my thumb from steam coming from a pot, was really painful and irritating, lasting a while. but then I looked at my thumb, took myself out of that pain, I realised it was just pain without judging it and not feeling it emotionally, it was just a sensation.But then I thought about people having terminal illness, whether permanently physically or mentally, at the time of death will it end, I think it's the universes way or the Buddha, letting us know that life is impermanent (suffering, karma) and you have to be with it till you know the side of yourself which is eternal. I may not be fully correct, but that is where I'm at. Maybe there is a way of not suffering while suffering, or changing the suffering? Thank you re98 wlk, I will keep listening to his talks, and thank you Ajahn Brahm :)
Eaglez27 , on one video he advised to not fight your feelings but rather to embrace it..."hug it and invite it in" I believe he said. This way you're not in conflict with your emotions- and as you know conflicts go on and on. I've tried this and I have to say it works like a charm!!
