ABOUT SPEAKER
Ajahn Brahmali was born in Norway in 1964. He first became interested in Buddhism and meditation in his early 20s after a visit to Japan. Having completed degrees in engineering and finance, he began his monastic training as an anagarika (keeping the eight precepts) in England at Amaravati and Chithurst Buddhist Monasteries.
After hearing the 'word of Brahm' he decided to travel to Australia to train at Bodhinyana Monastery. Ajahn Brahmali has lived at Bodhinyana Monastery since 1994, and was ordained as a Bhikkhu, with Ajahn Brahm as his preceptor, in 1996.
Ajahn Brahmāli teaches the monastic rules and gives Pali classes to the monks and anagarikas at Bodhinyana Monastery.

I'm so grateful to the internet and technology, otherwise I would have never heard these dhamma talks. These talks are literally saving my life from the dark place that I was in before. Thank you so much Ajahn Brahmali and the Buddhist Society of Victoria; and I couldn't agree more with the quote at the end of this talk "The gift of dhamma excels all other gifts".

I started mindfulness practise after hearing Ajahn Brahms talks without knowing much about Buddhism. Followed by intensive Vipassana Retreats. There the emphasis is not actually on virtue, but it touches on the theme of course. And I found, virtue and generosity come naturally with the practice. So in my experience its the other way around. It might work in both ways of course. But I always found the mindfulness training the main job we have to do.

Your talk sounds so naive to me. It doesnt say one moment what is the right view what is the wrong view. For instance, look after your parents because they did all these good things for you...! Did they really ..? And if someone doesnt look after their parents, does that person suffer. Does the parent suffer who isnt looked after even this parent might have done all the right things. Most likely. Does it help the right view? I can''t see that. And about giving, giving might give me a pleasant feeling but does it avoid possible suffering for the receiver? For the right way of giving i would need to know what is a really good helpful thing to give to the other... but i don't know. And even if we would know would it avoid suffering? I love my life and i have suffered a lot through my life and i still do. I can't see how to avoid suffering especially for people who try their best to do the "right" thing to others and themselves. Do i have to stop loving life? Do people who cause severe suffering to others, do they really suffer? I can't see that and it doesnt give any comfort to think, that for instance a tyrant might have to suffer in their next life?! Any, what do i know? I know that i know nothing. However, big big thank you to make this effort to give help and advice to ease suffering. Didnt work for me, makes me more sad.
