what a wonderful gift, having this talk come up at the end of a difficult week, for everyone . With the minimal time lapse this is almost seeing Ajahn Brahm in person, One day in the future I hope that will manifest.
I just finished teaching 5 months of gr 9 Academic English in 4 weeks (bi-weekly). I submitted report cards yesterday, and am RELAXING today. Thank you for the wonderful dharma lesson. It is so nice to have time to listen to you.
I appreciate this talk! He's a very knowledgable and easy to understand speaker. However, the Supreme Consciousness has been said to the truth of reality from many, many enlightened beings and mystical sages across history. The idea of nothingness is something that is denied for many such beings. I suppose we will find out as we reach that place:)
@@quicksilver455 my dad cannot be taught Buddha's words,he's catholic and he cannot be changed. Besides he has wrong views on Buddhism. His own sister is a catholic nun. She closed herself in a cloister. They wanted me to be with her in this cloister. ok?
@@annagoebiowska229 it may still be possible if he hears/ reads the right teaching. My own family is hardcore catholic and we have a catholic priest in our family too. But most of my family also identify with Buddhist teachings and listen to Buddhist sermons a lot now as well
A relative of mine want to go for euthanasia claiming to be Enlightened and has seen heaven after going into Jhanna states. She wants to leave this life and this world because it is full of suffering and she wants to achieve ultimate freedom out of the wheel of samsara when she's dead. Is this true insight and wisdom?
@braintko yes thank you this kinda helps add some more perspective and it sounds like u know what you are talking about. i have a good idea now thanks thanks
How the I die during vipasanna meditation? The way to attainment is vipasanna and the death of 'I' The mental purifications that really calm the mind and remove the kelisa. How i realise nibanna through vipasanna? (Greed,hatred,delusions)are momentarily removed in that moment. Sotapanna attainment how it occur and the sequence you will experience..... It starts with vipasanna sitting meditation then until mind shuts down.Before it shuts down,you are clearly comprehending the inbreath watching the beginning,the middle and the end of the breath. Ceesation of conciousness occur during this moment. The mind suddenly shuts down. Ceesation of conciousness is similar to mind shuts down: When this happen,you will not know.(it is because your mind has now stop fabricating just like a factory stop production all machine are switch off and no one working) That moment of not knowing is the moment you enter magga(path)and phala(fruition)where you are no more existing in this ignorance existence of samsara. After the magga phala attainment is over you will be in strong samadhi adsobtion where your whole body are radiance with strong pleasurable sensations.(jhana adsobtion) At that moment you still do not know you have attain magga phala.(only pleasurable sensation overwhelming the mind) As these strong samadhi adsobtion gradually subside,you will now be able to aware of the calmness of mind and body sitting in erect and firm(in lower samadhi) At this moment you can easily aware of your breath as it rise on inbreath and as it fall on outbreath. It is easily notice without effort. It was during this time you will suddenly remember or recollect the mind ceesation or shuts down clearly. You remember it very clearly before it shuts down, your were clearly comprehending inbreath rising,middle and end of breath and suddenly everything vanished,no more conciousness,mind shuts down. Then you realise whole body immersed with strong pleasurable sensations and when the sensation is over you can realise your mind is peaceful ,happy and mindfulness on inbreath and outbreath is easy and that your sitting meditation posture is straight and erect or is very firm(In samadhi state) In this way you now come to realise that you have finally come to know how suffering ends. Nibanna is being realise by your pure mind. Mind that is non greed,non hatred,non delusions. You are now a stream entry or is now a confirmed Ariya or sotapanna.You are free from 4 woeful realms of existence and you only have 7 more existence one as human and another 6 life as devas. If you are hard working and if you continue practice your vipasanna meditation and come to ceesations of conciousness for the second times,your next attainment is Sakadagami and you only have 3 more existence.And if the third time ceesation you are Anagami and the 4th time you are Arahat and will be fully aware of everything and totally free from ignorance completely and never to be born again. May my explaination be enlightening to vipasanna meditators and what is being explain are the final knowledge you will experience when your time for attainment is ripe. Suki hotu. Buddhang saranam gacchami
The third jhana is the happiest it's possible to be and it still be happiness. Afterwards it's pure peace. From fourth jhana happiness, joy, and bliss become perfect peace. In Pali dukkha or suffering disappears in first jhana and there's only sukkha or happiness. Second and third is greater happiness and fourth is only upekkha or peace.
@braintko That's the "soft" jhana interpretation. Ajahn Brahm teaches the "hard" jhana view, that the nimitta is before first jhana. Only when the mind is completely released is it jhana. Even in first jhana, Brahm says, there's no self-will. The mind is absorbed in the bliss. If there's any decision making possible it's before jhana. If you can choose to come out of meditation or do anything to the nimitta, it's before jhana
Attainment of sotapana and free from being born in 4 woeful existence. How one experience it? Entering magga phalla(disconnections of samsara existence) and emerge from magga phalla. The moment when it occure: My personnel experience while in vipasanna sitting meditation this occur and I will share to those who may find interesting. Vipasanna meditation on the moment of magga phalla and then return to samsara existence again on how it occur during that moment. From Samsara to magga phalla to samsara. 16 Vipasanna nanas or 16 mindfullness knowledge aroused while contemplating the breath explaination made simple. Nibanna is like walking up 16 stairs step to reach the top floor. One will start from the first stairs. Lifting the right foot stepping on the first stairs letting go of the left foot from the ground to let it step on the second staircase. Upon the second foot secure stepping on the second staircase one has to LET GO of the first staircase to use the right foot to step on the 3rd staircase until one reach the 16th stairs. Similar like from first samadhi to second samadhi to third samadhi to upeka. Similarly the practice of vipasanna apply the same way as like walking up the stairs till step 16th(16 vipasanna nanas) Upon reaching the top floor one can now take good rest in his room. One will have to return to the ground floor, the first step to begin now will be the last stair which is the 16th stairs. The way to decent is from the 16 to 15 to 14 stairs and so on. Similarly when one attaiment of magga(fruition) it is like one already on the highest step. After magga(path simile of the 16th stairs) it will reach phala(fruition simile as reaching the top floor) one is an enlighten being. Usual occurance after magga phalla, one will have to return to presant samsara conditions and that means like walking down the stair case start from the 16 steps to lower stairs. Similarly one who practice vipasanna and reach the highest path will need to return from the path back to this samsara existence. In this case he has to return from the magga phalla to continue to live in samsara until his balance karma energy are exhausted. So to say, one can realize very clearly these steps to magga phalla where the mind shuts down and he know when he is stepping down (start from the 16th) to return to mundane existence is similar to the simile of the 16 staircase walking up and walking down again. So one can know in this way one is a sotopana after nirodha(Ceesation of conciousness or concious shuts down) reaching magga phalla(mind now completely shuts down while in vipasanna sitting meditation) and nibanna(magga phalla is not a state of mind. It is out of human conciousness nothing in relation to mind and body and the buddha explain it in this way that nibanna simply is unborn, deathless and uncondition) No sufferring exist in NIBANNA. CONCLUSION: The 16 stairs we refer to the 16 vipasanna nanas: And after attainment when the mind shuts down you enter into nibanna(you will not know as you are momentarily already cut off your existence from Samsara) Now you are in nibanna(as conciousness already vanished at magga you do not know as already no existence conciousness) When after nibanna, you return to reawaken in this dream of existence in samsara and in the state of vipasanna samadhi, and here at this moment you still do not know you have return from nibanna to samsara dreams of existence as you are dwelling in strong state of samadhi where your mind now is filled with whole body pleasurable vibrating sensations and you are fully adsorption into it. This whole body pleasure sensation will gradually subside and you will now be in lower samadhi where your mind is bright(still in the mind state of samadhi) mind is free and relaxing no problems with regards to keep focusing on the breath as now what so ever on breath to watch rising falling all seem automatic.(in samadhi or in jhanna absobtion filled with whole body pleasurable sensations) At this moment the mind is free bright and peaceful just like driving with(in samadhi) Then suddenly there is occurance of recollection when one start to remember. One begin to remember there was a break in his sitting vipasanna meditation where the mind are suddenly shuts down. Here is very important and the most difficult to explain because this is the moment of the last truth of the 4 noble truth one has reach and now realised its taste. My attempt to explain it will be like telling a story that ends with possibily nobody will understand it. But that is the real story of the moment of reaching magga and phalla. When the moment the mind enter path or magga is 14th vipasanna nana and phalla 15 vipasanna nana it shuts down. No more existing in samsara existence so no more mind and thinking are stop. No thinking thus there no more mind. After that occurance is over, one will return from the top stair to walk down again from my simplified explaination on how one will see at that moment. He saw before and after and he remember it now as in his mind everythings is very clear. He now realise he has reach enlightment or he has attain to magga phala and the mind is now peaceful, happy and bright. The happiness feeling of that attainment can last numerous days.And all dhamma now aroused in one who is Ariya. He is now a SOTOPANNA. May this sharing be the road map for everyone and as the ariya of the past phrase it in this way they say 'WORTH IT' Wish everyone will strive one digently. Vipasanna the sure way leading to nibanna. The BUDDHA say this is the only way and no other way. And he say 'AHEPASIKO' Come friends and experience it yourself and you will know like I have known. And the last advise of LORD BUDDHA..... APAMADE SAMPADETA meaning Behold, O monks, this is my last advice to you. All component things in the world are changeable. They are not lasting. Work hard to gain your own salvation."

I suppose we will find out as we reach that place:)
What a 'vital' Ajahn Brahm 🤗
The chanting is absolutely beautiful. Would you consider ability to download the chanting? All sorts of chanting. Thank you.
I wonder who the Vietnamese monk who stayed in Jhana for 8 days is that Ajahn Brahm mentions at 8:01. Ajahn Khemavaro?

A relative of mine want to go for euthanasia claiming to be Enlightened and has seen heaven after going into Jhanna states. She wants to leave this life and this world because it is full of suffering and she wants to achieve ultimate freedom out of the wheel of samsara when she's dead. Is this true insight and wisdom?

How deep is your love? Cr..bee gees
I want to reach awareness can anyone help?
@braintko yes thank you this kinda helps add some more perspective and it sounds like u know what you are talking about. i have a good idea now thanks thanks
How the I die during vipasanna meditation?
The way to attainment is vipasanna and the death of 'I'
The mental purifications that really calm the mind and remove the kelisa.
How i realise nibanna through vipasanna?
(Greed,hatred,delusions)are momentarily removed in that moment.
Sotapanna attainment how it occur and the sequence you will experience.....
It starts with vipasanna sitting meditation then until mind shuts down.Before it shuts down,you are clearly comprehending the inbreath watching the beginning,the middle and the end of the breath.
Ceesation of conciousness occur during this moment. The mind suddenly shuts down.
Ceesation of conciousness is similar to mind shuts down:
When this happen,you will not know.(it is because your mind has now stop fabricating just like a factory stop production all machine are switch off and no one working)
That moment of not knowing is the moment you enter magga(path)and phala(fruition)where you are no more existing in this ignorance existence of samsara.
After the magga phala attainment is over you will be in strong samadhi adsobtion where your whole body are radiance with strong pleasurable sensations.(jhana adsobtion)
At that moment you still do not know you have attain magga phala.(only pleasurable sensation overwhelming the mind)
As these strong samadhi adsobtion gradually subside,you will now be able to aware of the calmness of mind and body sitting in erect and firm(in lower samadhi)
At this moment you can easily aware of your breath as it rise on inbreath and as it fall on outbreath.
It is easily notice without effort.
It was during this time you will suddenly remember or recollect the mind ceesation or shuts down clearly.
You remember it very clearly before it shuts down, your were clearly comprehending inbreath rising,middle and end of breath and suddenly everything vanished,no more conciousness,mind shuts down.
Then you realise whole body immersed with strong pleasurable sensations and when the sensation is over you can realise your mind is peaceful ,happy and mindfulness on inbreath and outbreath is easy and that your sitting meditation posture is straight and erect or is very firm(In samadhi state)
In this way you now come to realise that you have finally come to know how suffering ends.
Nibanna is being realise by your pure mind.
Mind that is non greed,non hatred,non delusions.
You are now a stream entry or is now a confirmed Ariya or sotapanna.You are free from 4 woeful realms of existence and you only have 7 more existence one as human and another 6 life as devas.
If you are hard working and if you continue practice your vipasanna meditation and come to ceesations of conciousness for the second times,your next attainment is Sakadagami and you only have 3 more existence.And if the third time ceesation you are Anagami and the 4th time you are Arahat and will be fully aware of everything and totally free from ignorance completely and never to be born again.
May my explaination be enlightening to vipasanna meditators and what is being explain are the final knowledge you will experience when your time for attainment is ripe.
Suki hotu.

Why they're sit turn back side to lord buddha.?

The third jhana is the happiest it's possible to be and it still be happiness. Afterwards it's pure peace. From fourth jhana happiness, joy, and bliss become perfect peace.
In Pali dukkha or suffering disappears in first jhana and there's only sukkha or happiness. Second and third is greater happiness and fourth is only upekkha or peace.
@braintko That's the "soft" jhana interpretation. Ajahn Brahm teaches the "hard" jhana view, that the nimitta is before first jhana. Only when the mind is completely released is it jhana.
Even in first jhana, Brahm says, there's no self-will. The mind is absorbed in the bliss. If there's any decision making possible it's before jhana. If you can choose to come out of meditation or do anything to the nimitta, it's before jhana
Attainment of sotapana and free from being born in 4 woeful existence.
How one experience it?
Entering magga phalla(disconnections of samsara existence) and emerge from magga phalla.
The moment when it occure:
My personnel experience while in vipasanna sitting meditation this occur and I will share to those who may find interesting.
Vipasanna meditation on the
moment of magga phalla and then return to samsara existence again on how it occur during that moment.
From Samsara to magga phalla to samsara.
16 Vipasanna nanas or 16 mindfullness knowledge aroused while contemplating the breath explaination made simple.
Nibanna is like walking up 16 stairs step to reach the top floor.
One will start from the first stairs. Lifting the right foot stepping on the first stairs letting go of the left foot from the ground to let it step on the second staircase. Upon the second foot secure stepping on the second staircase one has to LET GO of the first staircase to use the right foot to step on the 3rd staircase until one reach the 16th stairs.
Similar like from first samadhi to second samadhi to third samadhi to upeka.
Similarly the practice of vipasanna apply the same way as like walking up the stairs till step 16th(16 vipasanna nanas)
Upon reaching the top floor one can now take good rest in his room.
One will have to return to the ground floor, the first step to begin now will be the last stair which is the 16th stairs. The way to decent is from the 16 to 15 to 14 stairs and so on.
Similarly when one attaiment
of magga(fruition) it is like one already on the highest step.
After magga(path simile of the 16th stairs) it will reach phala(fruition simile as reaching the top floor) one is an enlighten being.
Usual occurance after magga phalla, one will have to return to presant samsara conditions and that means like walking down the stair case start from the 16 steps to lower stairs.
Similarly one who practice vipasanna and reach the highest path will need to return from the path back to this samsara existence.
In this case he has to return from the magga phalla to continue to live in samsara until his balance karma energy are exhausted.
So to say, one can realize very clearly these steps to magga phalla where the mind shuts down and he know when he is stepping down (start from the 16th) to return to mundane existence is similar to the simile of the 16 staircase walking up and walking down again.
So one can know in this way one is a sotopana after nirodha(Ceesation of conciousness or concious shuts down) reaching magga phalla(mind now completely shuts down while in vipasanna sitting meditation) and nibanna(magga phalla is not a state of mind. It is out of human conciousness nothing in relation to mind and body and the buddha explain it in this way that nibanna simply is unborn, deathless and uncondition)
No sufferring exist in NIBANNA.
CONCLUSION:
The 16 stairs we refer to the 16 vipasanna nanas:
And after attainment when the mind shuts down you enter into nibanna(you will not know as you are momentarily already cut off your existence from Samsara)
Now you are in nibanna(as conciousness already vanished at magga you do not know as already no existence conciousness)
When after nibanna, you return to reawaken in this dream of existence in samsara and in the state of vipasanna samadhi, and here at this moment you still do not know you have return from nibanna to samsara dreams of existence as you are dwelling in strong state of samadhi where your mind now is filled with whole body pleasurable vibrating sensations and you are fully adsorption into it.
This whole body pleasure sensation will gradually subside and you will now be in lower samadhi where your mind is bright(still in the mind state of samadhi) mind is free and relaxing no problems with regards to keep focusing on the breath as now what so ever on breath to watch rising falling all seem automatic.(in samadhi or in jhanna absobtion filled with whole body pleasurable sensations)
At this moment the mind is free bright and peaceful just like driving with(in samadhi)
Then suddenly there is occurance of recollection when one start to remember.
One begin to remember there was a break in his sitting vipasanna meditation where the mind are suddenly shuts down.
Here is very important and the most difficult to explain because this is the moment of the last truth of the 4 noble truth one has reach and now realised its taste.
My attempt to explain it will be like telling a story that ends with possibily nobody will understand it.
But that is the real story of the moment of reaching magga and phalla.
When the moment the mind enter path or magga is 14th vipasanna nana and phalla 15 vipasanna nana it shuts down.
No more existing in samsara existence so no more mind and thinking are stop. No thinking thus there no more mind.
After that occurance is over, one will return from the top stair to walk down again from my simplified explaination on how one will see at that moment.
He saw before and after and he remember it now as in his mind everythings is very clear. He now realise he has reach enlightment or he has attain to magga phala and the mind is now peaceful, happy and bright.
The happiness feeling of that attainment can last numerous days.And all dhamma now aroused in one who is Ariya. He is now a SOTOPANNA.
May this sharing be the road map for everyone and as the ariya of the past phrase it in this way they say 'WORTH IT'
Wish everyone will strive one digently. Vipasanna the sure way leading to nibanna.
The BUDDHA say this is the only way and no other way. And he say 'AHEPASIKO'
Come friends and experience it yourself and you will know like I have known.
And the last advise of LORD BUDDHA..... APAMADE SAMPADETA
meaning
Behold, O monks, this is my last advice to you. All component things in the world are changeable. They are not lasting. Work hard to gain your own salvation."
Apamadesampadeta.

It's a shame always wanted brahm to do a talk on flat earth disappointed to see he's also fooled even after all of that meditation 🌎😂
Attainment of sotapana and free from being born in 4 woeful existence.
How one experience it?
Entering magga phalla(disconnections of samsara existence) and emerge from magga phalla.
The moment when it occure:
My personnel experience while in vipasanna sitting meditation this occur and I will share to those who may find interesting.
Vipasanna meditation on the
moment of magga phalla and then return to samsara existence again on how it occur during that moment.
From Samsara to magga phalla to samsara.
16 Vipasanna nanas or 16 mindfullness knowledge aroused while contemplating the breath explaination made simple.
Nibanna is like walking up 16 stairs step to reach the top floor.
One will start from the first stairs. Lifting the right foot stepping on the first stairs letting go of the left foot from the ground to let it step on the second staircase. Upon the second foot secure stepping on the second staircase one has to LET GO of the first staircase to use the right foot to step on the 3rd staircase until one reach the 16th stairs.
Similar like from first samadhi to second samadhi to third samadhi to upeka.
Similarly the practice of vipasanna apply the same way as like walking up the stairs till step 16th(16 vipasanna nanas)
Upon reaching the top floor one can now take good rest in his room.
One will have to return to the ground floor, the first step to begin now will be the last stair which is the 16th stairs. The way to decent is from the 16 to 15 to 14 stairs and so on.
Similarly when one attaiment
of magga(fruition) it is like one already on the highest step.
After magga(path simile of the 16th stairs) it will reach phala(fruition simile as reaching the top floor) one is an enlighten being.
Usual occurance after magga phalla, one will have to return to presant samsara conditions and that means like walking down the stair case start from the 16 steps to lower stairs.
Similarly one who practice vipasanna and reach the highest path will need to return from the path back to this samsara existence.
In this case he has to return from the magga phalla to continue to live in samsara until his balance karma energy are exhausted.
So to say, one can realize very clearly these steps to magga phalla where the mind shuts down and he know when he is stepping down (start from the 16th) to return to mundane existence is similar to the simile of the 16 staircase walking up and walking down again.
So one can know in this way one is a sotopana after nirodha(Ceesation of conciousness or concious shuts down) reaching magga phalla(mind now completely shuts down while in vipasanna sitting meditation) and nibanna(magga phalla is not a state of mind. It is out of human conciousness nothing in relation to mind and body and the buddha explain it in this way that nibanna simply is unborn, deathless and uncondition)
No sufferring exist in NIBANNA.
CONCLUSION:
The 16 stairs we refer to the 16 vipasanna nanas:
And after attainment when the mind shuts down you enter into nibanna(you will not know as you are momentarily already cut off your existence from Samsara)
Now you are in nibanna(as conciousness already vanished at magga you do not know as already no existence conciousness)
When after nibanna, you return to reawaken in this dream of existence in samsara and in the state of vipasanna samadhi, and here at this moment you still do not know you have return from nibanna to samsara dreams of existence as you are dwelling in strong state of samadhi where your mind now is filled with whole body pleasurable vibrating sensations and you are fully adsorption into it.
This whole body pleasure sensation will gradually subside and you will now be in lower samadhi where your mind is bright(still in the mind state of samadhi) mind is free and relaxing no problems with regards to keep focusing on the breath as now what so ever on breath to watch rising falling all seem automatic.(in samadhi or in jhanna absobtion filled with whole body pleasurable sensations)
At this moment the mind is free bright and peaceful just like driving with(in samadhi)
Then suddenly there is occurance of recollection when one start to remember.
One begin to remember there was a break in his sitting vipasanna meditation where the mind are suddenly shuts down.
Here is very important and the most difficult to explain because this is the moment of the last truth of the 4 noble truth one has reach and now realised its taste.
My attempt to explain it will be like telling a story that ends with possibily nobody will understand it.
But that is the real story of the moment of reaching magga and phalla.
When the moment the mind enter path or magga is 14th vipasanna nana and phalla 15 vipasanna nana it shuts down.
No more existing in samsara existence so no more mind and thinking are stop. No thinking thus there no more mind.
After that occurance is over, one will return from the top stair to walk down again from my simplified explaination on how one will see at that moment.
He saw before and after and he remember it now as in his mind everythings is very clear. He now realise he has reach enlightment or he has attain to magga phala and the mind is now peaceful, happy and bright.
The happiness feeling of that attainment can last numerous days.And all dhamma now aroused in one who is Ariya. He is now a SOTOPANNA.
May this sharing be the road map for everyone and as the ariya of the past phrase it in this way they say 'WORTH IT'
Wish everyone will strive one digently. Vipasanna the sure way leading to nibanna.
The BUDDHA say this is the only way and no other way. And he say 'AHEPASIKO'
Come friends and experience it yourself and you will know like I have known.
And the last advise of LORD BUDDHA..... APAMADE SAMPADETA
