Thank you for this new clip. For those of us unable to get to a dhamma teacher nearby, having these Ajahn Brahm teachings, so relevant and simple, are a special gift. Each day an hour or more spent with him is the wisest thing I can do for myself and for those around me...Victoria

Not out of desire, revenge (hatred), fear and making decisions blindly, the decisions must be made with a peaceful mind. Thanks for your teachings.

Here I am, just finished university, broken up with my boyfriend of 10 years, had an abortion and still grieving, trying to get employed. Have a ton of emotions inside me, a lot of pain, fear, heartbreak and sadness, and just depressed sometimes. I need to hear this.

Pain comes with attachment and identification with it. It might sound hard to understand or act on but it is easy to understand when you lose that attachment to the feelings and habits around that person. If you chuckle on how you were absessed to something and cri d so hard after losing it when you were very young, you should be able to chuckle right now without waiting for long after to chuckle Things come and go, eventually we lose everything in this life, which means we need to learn to get used to losing things. It is actually wonderful to lose a boyfriend because you get rid of all the bad things of him that you disliked. We feel vulnerable for sure when this kind of thing happens, but it is just a nature of life or nature of seasons. No matter how much we like spring, summer comes. Just enjoy different seasons. It could be a better one as long as you don't attach to it ❤

Re: 13:22 - not acting out of (1) personal desire (2) not acting out of ill will (3) not out of delusion or ignorance (4) never make a decision out of fear -most important part of decision making (some punishment from making “wrong” decision)

I've watched this video many times over the years. Every time, I'm grappling with different decisions. Just like rereading a great book, every time I watch this, I have a different experience, learn/notice something new, make a new connection to my life. His decision to talk about decisions led to an empowering resource for so many people.

Before you make a decision, think how will this effect me, the person or people I’m responsible for,and how could my decision effect the person offering this choice? Who will my choice hurt the most and benefit the most. Choose what is the most fair.

there's a book (which I haven't read yet) called "Incognito," where the author talks about how the brain works, and how parts of the brain are constantly working out solutions to problems beyond conscious awareness.

@@maggieward1625 Yeah, funny reading that 8-year-old comment, because I read that book so many years ago I only remember little wisps of it. But I do remember some salient points and it was absolutely fascinating. I think I still have it- it's called "Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain." Can't remember the author's name but he was on Jon Stewart or Colbert Report back in the day, which is what turned me on to the book. In fact, I think the guy did a special on Netflix about a year ago that still might be on netflix... a name just came back to me I want to say it was David or Daniel Eagleman. Anyway, I'm sure you can find it on google easily. He's some sort of brain scientist and I thought for the most part it really upheld Buddhist ideas about "self"- that basically it's a construct that's constantly in flux and has no "true" fixed nature.

1. It needs merit to become a human, so it is always better to live well and die well as human 2.People are fearful of death and desire to live. So it is painful mentally for ppl so die and that's why we would like to help the truck driver.

Think Ajahn is talking about moral discernment(If this then that,light denoted thinking.) rather than moral judgement(emotional ,like/aversion, right/wrong, connoted thinking). Think thats how Buddhists follow the precepts. Its no way the same as Christian Punishment/Reward identified emotional morality.

Suddenly, scenes from The Matrix came to mind where Keanu Reeves became invinsible. His opponent tried to punch him in the face but he was able to move. Probably they got the idea from Ajahn Brahm.
