I love Ajahn Brahms kind presence and words! I hope someday to be able to meet him. He has truly changed my life in last couple yrs when goin thru lots of health n life issues that had my spirit feeling broken. Now no matter what I'm going thru I can listen to his voice and feel comfort and interconnection from thousands of miles away. It a amazing! Through him I have found a new way of looking at the world. It's beautiful even when it a ugly. I must say though it's not large helpings of food that led to his belly I would be his slow metabolism, as monks don't eat all day lbvs. Yes we can find good even from disliked politicians, I believe that Trump will bring change not in his actions but in the reactions and future choices by rational Americans. I pray he scares us to better decisions in the future as his level of hatred is scary and should never be allowed again. We must live and care for the world not seperate and tear it apart. Ohhh can anyone imagine if he became a Buddhist?...! Oh how amazing and powerful that would be. He could really help so many.

very nice to have Ajahn Brahm's talk on the very day it's recorded. Thank you.

Thank you Ajahn Brahm for your wisdom. Your talks continue to enlighten us..

Such a beautiful talk! sadhu sadhu sadhu!

for so many people it is far easier to give then to receive. For many it is hard to say thanks.

In one of the retreat conducted in KL, Malaysia many years ago, that was my second retreat with Ajahn, i think 2010, as i could't sleep well at night due to a lot of people snoring :) and also some people lied in the meditation hall and slept and snore.. so during interview i seek Ajahn's advice on how to escape from those "noise", Ajahn is always very kind, he told me he has a very good ear plug.. because sometimes in flight, he still can;t get away from the noise :) and he want to give me that earplug ..haha.. i was so overwhelmed and touched when he want to give me he only ear plug.. yet i didn't take it :), then he said, do you have any at home, i give you permission to go home and take one.. anywhere, i didn't go back and take, yet i was much better in the retreat after interview. Btw, i can make peace with the snore and etc.. can even sleep well and sound even someone snores :) .. just make peace and don't fight :)

Ajahn Brahm is a treasure for the world, with his humorous application of practical Buddhism, not text book bed side Buddhism, studying, but applied Buddhism. Thanks.

The words of the Dhamma learn us that it is posible to realise a peacefull Mind. :)

May Noble Triple Gem Bless you

I know what it's like to run low in the idea department, so I thought since I so enjoyed this talk on the VALUE of trust, if I might request one on "LOYALTY?" I feel it is quite absent in our modern societies today and is key to having and maintaining TRUST.

I Love it!

love him. he can do no wrong

Love your style of teaching it really appeals to me. Blessed to be alive in this moment in time. Blessing to you bud and keep up the great work!

Frustration and depression/anxiety are due to insufficient self esteem. Turning towards buddhism, spirituality or any other religion in the idea to renounce your ego is a pursuit destined to fail. An ego, in the mature and healthy sense, is precisely what these people have failed to attain. They dream of giving away that which they do not possess. Nobody can bypass the need for self esteem. Seek psychotherapy.
