- Religions should not be enslaving, but liberating. Ajahn Brahm challenges the ideas in Buddhism and other religions about autonomy & freedom, and knowledge & faith. Ajahn looks at how Buddhism challenges you to be free and to take responsibility for your karma and Ajahn ponders the problems of authoritarian religions.

Fantastic life changing teaching. Thank you Ajahn.
A faith that changes to meet the truth - not the other way around! What a freeing and reassuring understanding.
Thank you for showing me the door to the freeman spirit, usually religion is a doctrine and a sheeple instrument. Your inspiration has lead to sharing some of your dharma talks in ceremony. May all creatures be happy and in abundance of the love light Aho. AyahuBasca :-)
Thank you teacher. This talk really resonates with me. A religion that flat out tells me to question everything, don't just take your word for it, & then gives me the tools to do so, is refreshing & wonderful in this day & age!
One of the most insightful talks.
Definitely this is the best talk I have heard so far. Thanks for all the movies by the way:)
Thanks to the BSWA and Ajahn Brahm for another great talk!
Greetings from Holland,
-c-
Seeing a new video, makes me happy!
So much wisdom, thank you!
I am a Hindhu, But I always loved Buddhism, because it is so intense & real & straightforward & uncomplicated.
I have read 4 noble truths & 8 noble paths many times so far & conceptually i have understood it, but wanted a tool to practice.
I mostly play games in my iPhone & I searched for Buddha related apps & I saw one interesting app called "BuDhamma"? by Lokesh
Hanumappa. This app helps you practice 8 noble path in a cool way with reminders, reports, tests & graphic rich practice summary
These are always an hour well spent. Thank you.
brilliant . good explanation about meditation ..
Wow. Something intelligent and enriching. On youtube nonetheless! ? I am still not used to seeing bhikkus with Facebook pages and youtube videos and smart phones. I will say that your use of youtube is tremendously skillful. You took a talk that would only be enjoyed by a view and now that bit of teaching was shared all over the world.
Thank you for your weekly talks
Many thanks!
this hit close to home. thanks for your talks. they are really helpful.
'BBC Horizon - The Secret You'
Great documentary you can watch on youtube.
@stevesusenet Its not his youtube account! :P Its the buddhist society of western australia's site and they are made of lay people. Ajahn Brahm's monestary is part of the buddhist society! :P
@beaterfred He is aware of the youtube postings, has allowed it and no doubt the positive feedback will be relayed back to him by his volunteers at some point.
Do you think we should commit Adultery because religion say we should not or we should not commit Adultery because we know it is wrong to do so. Everyone who believes in the exitance of Almighty God believes the ten commandments were the start of social development.
The second one, more likely.
Have you ever noticed the resemblance between Ajahn Brahm and Bernie from Chop Shop?
:)
@tinafanforlife73 2012 is nonsense. Stop listening to 'new-agers'.
@josh1492 LOL!
Nora, stop labeling jezelf. Er is geen foute spelling :-) Je intentie komt duidelijk over.
He should have been a poet not an athiest. Just kidding.
