Ajahn Brahm reflects deeply on the idea “I am not good enough”. Are you good enough? Why is that we always think it’s not good enough?
Ajahn talks about how you can never satisfy the reach of what other people ask of you and to stop worrying about what other people think of you and trying to please others.

I love you Ajahn! Thank you for showing me that the negative thoughts in my head are not only in mine. That I'm not alone in constantly feeling like I'm failing to the point of never being able to celebrate my achievements. Finding compassion for myself seems to be so much more difficult than finding it for others.

Thanks for another wonderful teaching. I want to make people aware of dementia and Alzheimers. If you or a loved one may be "changing" in ways you do not understand, please go to a doctor. My mother was changing, and our wonderful doctor has helped her gain many years back with therapies to help her dementia slow down. Robin Williams had Lewy Body Dementia. In his autopsy, they said he had more Lewy bodies than they had ever seen. Be wise. Seek help from kind people if you need it.

Discovered Ajahn Brahm's discourses yesterday and I just can't stop listening to him. Thank you so much for these talks, amazing. I just took my second 10 days of Vipassana course at the end of December and I am working on my path as I found it very beneficial.Quit smoking,too :) Which was amazing as in those 10 I basically forgot I was a smoker :) Not once I felt the need to smoke one. So, yes learning, practicing and trying hard to forgive myself :)

truth is highest. Robin Williams was struck down with a brain disease called diffuse Lewy body dementia or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) that took hold of Williams, and probably led him to suicide. One feels he made a ultimate self-sacrifice to save the mental torment for his wife, family, and friends, knowing he would be a burden for their mental wellbeing having to care for a body with no memory, even the simple use of using the toilet which was to be forgotten eventually. His love shined through of the characters he portrayed. Peace, Love, Compassion, and Happiness for all Sentient Beings.

Actually, it was the other way around. The head monk loved himself and his other monks so much that he could not sacrifice any of them. Not even himself. This great love and respect for all life is what inspired the thieves to become monks as well. I hope this helps :)

amiroarrr Ami,monks in Buddhist countries eat mb 9am after theyve walked around on thier alms round giving blessings and accepting offered food,they come back to the temple n share out n mix up the food.Monks are not allowed to cook,buy,or grow food.In a western country Annagarikas,white robed lay volunteers who live in the monastery,or other lay ppl cook the food thats donated or bought w donations from the lay ppl.

Cric Lover , all Buddhist monk eat breakfast around 5:30 or 6 a. m. and meditate either walking meditation or sitting meditation then share love and kindness to all existence then do some chores later heading to either neighbours or around the villages / city to get lunch. Later they all shared their lunches with their temple monks then share love and kindness to all donors who gave food. During they ate their lunch with mindful and meditate then do some cleaning with mindful meditation then walking exercise then teach meditation to villagers or all devotees. Pay respect to Buddha share love and kindness to all existence then before going to bed. During the sleep the monks sleep with mindful then falling asleep.

im not sure that's an appropriate comment. There aren't many monks as at peace and as happy as Ajah Brahm, the monk you mention has gave up the householder life, and deserves respect for how serious he is taking his training. You dont even know what struggles he is going through. Imagine when youre next stressed you cant be around your family, or put the telly on, or have some junk food, listen to some music, have a drink, have sex..... it takes a long time to balance a dedicated monastic life with the humour and freedom of Ajahn Brahm. Hence his title, Ajahn (teacher).

Why Not Now Brahm is a natural born speaker. Words seem to just flow out of his mouth without thinking about it. He can talk and talk non-stop without a script. When he tells a joke, he knows how to deliver it .... and laughs right along with us.
