What Ajahn Brahm is trying to make out is that we shouldn't ignore everything negative but accept it and not worry about it. As for serial killers we shouldn't forget that they have done something wrong but acknowledge it with an open heart. We should try to see things from their point of view. Many of these people are conditioned to be the way they are, just as we are conditioned to believe in justice. We must learn that forgiveness is the best way of helping these people. Hope this helps :)
I am very thankful for your video's! They are free and all very good. I have gotten very far on my journey, but your talks seem to be tieing up a lot of loose ends for me of things that I have not been able to transcend. Calms my energy, helps with my relations, and frees me of judgement. True end of suffering, must be acceptance of what is.
Ahhh! That's a great poem by Thay! (Thich Nhat Hahn) it's one of my favorites- it's called "Call Me By My True Names" I highly encourage all to look it up and read it if you don't know it!
What if you have a mentally and physically abusive and really smart mother who triangulates, gaslights all family members and when I could not comply fast or completely enough, she would beat the he'll out of my father in front of me, or complain and cry to my sister that my sister turned and lecture me and pressured me into obedient? Shall we all keep suffering just to keep her from beating my father average monthly, smashing things up whenever she was not happy, or yelling at me on the top of her lung for like 15 hours a day for at least 5 days straight?
So how much is unreasonable? 1/3 of 998 bricks? 500? 750? I don't get this talk. Do we just ignore everything negative? Wouldn't that be living by denial? What about serial killers? Forgive and forget?
I enjoy his talks :) Anybody know at what point a monk attempts to flee an abusive situation? Or does a monk allow themselves to be endlessly emotionally abused?
Curtis Confuz good question would be interesting to have an honest answer from Ajahn Brahm or any other monk. Eckhart Tolle would not expect anyone to put up with abuse. The monks are human too so I'm sure there would be a point.
+Curtis Confuz (M.C. Confuz) The thing is about monks, if they are well trained, one cannot really emotionally abuse them. They do not react to words like we, unskilled people, usually do. Brahm gives the example of being called a loser to which he responded "yes! I am a loser, I lost all my attachments and I am free, thank you!" If you want more cool examples like that, watch the "hissing but not biting" video by Ajahn Brahm.
I love how he says I'm beautiful even when I'm not perfect and all over the place!
I am addicted to Ajahn Abraham Discourse’s and Meditation 🧘♀️ LOL..... Thank you so....... much!!!
It's brahm not abraham... Lol
Beautiful talk, as always! Thank you!❤
Wow..... that poem by Thich Nhat Hanh ... amazing. Brought tears to my eyes.
It is in his book “Peace is Every Step” right at the end. “Please call me by my true names” it is available online.
Please forgive those people that dislike this eloquent talk
always timely and appropriate talks - thank you Venerable.!!
Great teacher learnt so much from him
One of the best talks I’ve ever heard

right now we live in a world of conflict no matter which way you turn, indeed as always this is so timely.

@BipolarBowler - the inability comes from not knowing how to...the method is to "practice looking deeply"

How to handle a pain in the ass relative that I have to see once or twice a week? short of taking drugs...
Fleets Enema ...... know that you’re also a pain in the ass. Deal with that first. Stop focusing on your relative.

Fleets Enema ..... hug yourself ... you’re good enough.

Ton Adachi the point is to not dwell on imperfection because nothing and nobody is "perfect".
Is a monk allowed to talk about sagging breast?
yes it is a part of life
I'm saggy and I'm still beautiful and I'm still me. Over identifying with the body or youth is a guarantee for suffering. All things pass.
very nice ,good ,helpful thanks and respect for this talk
