ajahn brahm is a great teacher! i met him 2003 while i was traveling western australia. i discovered, just one day before the rains retreat started, the small sign "buddhist monastery" next to the road (traveling south) ... and just followed the road up the hill and then to the monastery. i arrived .... not one human being was there. i parked my car and walked around a bit ... i believe it was in the afternoon ... just short before i was ready to leave, a small asian lady appeared and invited me to the big party which should happen the next day, right before the rains retreat. i decided to come back the next day.... and so all started. i met some amazing people, and when i returned from my trip south, i returned to visit serpentine as well as the nuns monastery, where sister ajahn vayama was head nun at the time. she is a great teacher as well. ajahn brahm was perfectly right to chose her to set up the nuns monastery in western australia. i was very sad when i heard that she had become sick. love to all the monks and nuns of both monasteries. some of them maybe remember me. at the time i lived in Germany, today i live in the USA. i always considered Australia my soul-country! ;) Kristina

I just love Ajahn Brahm every talk he does leaves me enraptured. I do wish he could come to England.

Thank you Ajahn Brahm. Lots of Great advice in this talk, especially the part at 28:00 saying How you are meditating is just as important as the meditation object itself. 28:35 Making Peace with the dullness, being Kind to the restlessness, being Gentle to the body.

This is all of life brought back to the essence atleast for me it is

Fantastic teachings. Rejoice! ×3

Its simple just let your mind and do w.e it wants meditation is not your time it's ur minds time. Eventually it settles down.

To Amanda: Time stamp 22:00 when Ajahn Brahm talks about sleepiness in meditation and how our modern lives are so filled with activity that we sometimes just need to take time to rest before we start meditation

Freakin love that guy!

Wayne Dyer once said: "I'd tell my son's, don't just do something, just sit there!"

Enjoyed that, i won't be hanging on to shitty loo roll again. Brilliant !!!! x

I followed these steps exactly. I shit my pants. Literally.

Hi! What happened to the first video of this playlist? I think I remember watching it and it was, as all of his videos are, absolutely wonderful! Could you please reupload it?

What if you want to attain the ability to let go.

Let go of not let go on.

? Where's the rest...

The toilet paper trick works even better if you use it too 😁😝

can someone confirm what this mantra is exactly? na-mo-bud-da-ya

i love you hippies

Oh yes, this is my problem with meditators, I met many & it freaks me out. I really don't wish to read other people's minds nor do I want anyone reading my thoughts! What can I do? I'm really against that... 😸
