- A talk at the annual retreat of the International Buddhist Studies College:
00:00:58 Ajahn describes his own background and experience starting at Wat Pah Nanachat 26 years ago as a pah khao (layman in white) in 1994. Observing the power of the kilesas / unpleasant mental states and developing endurance and observing the little developments of peace.
00:09:00 Early contributions of Tan Ajahn Anan (now at Wat Marp Jan but then Ajahn Chah’s secretary)
00:12:00 Lessons from the meditation and contemplation experiences of the Buddha; the importance of the five spiritual powers starting with faith and confidence in Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha and one’s own growing ability
00:19:29 Sati
00:25:24 The importance of consistency in meditation practice
00:26:08 Early feelings of wanting to disrobe and using occasional peaceful states as a refuge
00:27:46 Recalling the Buddha’s reviewing and feeling of awe for his enlightenment
00:29:28 The Ānāpānasati Sutta - one of my favourites, makes it so clear
00:34:26 Summary - the suffering that leads to the end of suffering
00:37:18 Invitation for Questions:
00:37:46 Q1 - You were born and raised in a non-Buddhist culture, what do you believe accounts for your interest in buddha-dhamma?
01:00:58 Q2 - I would like to develop more concentration. How can I motivate the mind to this end?
01:06:00 Q3 - What qualities do you think you had that formed your foundation of interest and commitment to the monkhood?
01:08:47 Q4 - Do you believe Ajahn Chah was enlightened and how did his abilities contribute to your development?
01:14:16 Q5 - If there is no self why strive had for nibanna?
Thank you, Venerable Ajahn! You would have made a fine doctor, lawyer, or movie star; but what a waste that would have been, and what a loss for the world!
Amazed by what your mum have told you, "her blessing" for you to be a monk.. for this to come out from Western parents.... Sadhu sadhu sadhu to your mum!
3 bows to you Ajahn... very uplifting listen to your stories and teachings, Sadhu sadhu sadhu
What a brilliant, sensitive and inspiring talk . Thank you banthe 🙏
I am feeling peace here. Thank you Ajahn, for your being and your sharing.
You have my deepest gratitude Ajahn, thank you.
My opinion , Ajahn Achalo is an Arahant monk . I have ever gone to make a merit on the Gratina day at Wat Anantakiri monestry Kao Klor district Pechaboon province Thailand . That year Ajahn Pasanno from the USA. also joined ceremony. It made me so happy making the great merit with the 2 greatest monks. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
This is a very thorough and informative talk, and even so, it is focused and streamlined. Very good. ✨🙏✨
You have become my master. Following you all over the net. Thabk You sooo much! 💖💖💖
Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu. This is a very insightful and incisive talk... extremely well done, taking an often over-complicated subject and paring it down to its essentials. Thank you so much!

Interesting life story- when I was young I felt the same regarding this isn’t the way we should live. So here we are in a time 2021 where we can’t travel all over the world. So how can we look for these signs when we don’t want to hurt people by traveling?
Look within.
the internet is a good place to find spiritual help - Kalyana mitta. Get inspired - as here...and maybe try to set up a place that is accessible to practice? and be patient. be ready for when the oppotunity comes?
มีคำบรรยายเป็นภาษาไทยไหมเจ้าคะ
Mai mee naja, sorry
After listening, I want to find sometime to translate/compile..khrub.
🙏🙏🙏
