Imagine how rare it is for someone to hear words like this. The hundreds of millions of people who lived long ago that never had access to these teachings. We truly are blessed to be in a time where we can hear such truths from the comfort of our own homes.

This guy is the real deal, just awesome. He learned from the best too, Ajahn Chah.

There are a number of very worthy monks in this tradition whose wisdom is so evident. Ajahn Jayasaro words are razor sharp in their clarity. This is food for thought for all of us.

What a powerful hour of talk. It almost feels like the older I get, the more I dont understand about my life/being on this planet, and that the idea of Buddhism shows a perspective I never really spent time thinking about. The permeance of desires on the mind: making more money, more power, more women, etc, that we are never satisfied really resonates a heavy truth. Using desires to distract ourselves from solving deeper problems.

Amazing. This is the very talk that inspired me 10 years ago to further my understanding of Buddhism and I still watch and enjoy every moment of it. Thank you Ajahn Jayasaro xx

I am surprised at just how few people have watched this video in the few months of its uploading. Clearly, this goes to show that more of the other trivial and crude things tend to distract us from the education of our mind that may lead us to an understanding and appreciation of this refinement of the mind. How fortunate are those who have been able to come across this lecture and watch the full length of it. Now we can train our mind accordingly. May all be well and happy.

its amazing we live in a time where a simple search can lead to wisdom like this. you have to respect ajahn jayasaro. the man became a monk at a very young age and spent the rest of his years searching for the truth.

What a great person! Truly inspiring. It's amazing that he can speak so meaningfully without preparation.

How wonderful to see the dhamma penetrating into the Middle East; a place well and truly overrun with wrong view. Sadhu!

This is not mystical mambo yambo but a realistic analysis and conclusion of the precariousness of life (and hence of happiness) with tangible examples that most of us had experienced at a given time in our lives. Ajahn sound more like a psychologist than a monk and I think that's great. I think that teachings about karma, rebirth and other metaphysical topics can be sidelined in favor of dealing with our immediate existential problems here and now. Great talk!

sustainable happiness -- a very idea that clears my thoughts on studying Buddhism

Absolutely, he has made clear on Buddhism, thanks for being such a good teacher, for those who want to know. The world need to understand life, not just follow our selfish genes, which are our instincts in the natural selection. We know full well in the nature of DNA, and the different effects we get between Hitler and MotherTeresa.

The most valuable things in life are so simple and most easily adopted when in search of 'true' happiness :-)

there is joy then rapture then serenity. when you have serenity pleasure can arise and then concentration. from concentration knowledge of how things are which is at the forefront for clear knowing of the four noble truths. This is suffering. this is the cause of suffering. this is the path to the end of suffering. this is the end of suffering. which is at the forefront of the whole mass of stress.

sadhu, sadhu, sadhu! Thank you for the discourse, Bhanté.

สาธุ สาธุ อนุโมธนาบุญคะ พระอาจารย์ ธรรมะลึกซึ้้งมาก...

"The power of recollection "really does work; it does heal.This is true. Thanks Ajahn.

Seeing comments from 9 years ago it amazes me how people were so smart even back then

กราบ​นมัสการ​พระ​อาจารย์​คะ​

He is like fine wine, aged with monasticism. As it is said by the sages...

Shout outs to the token plant and glass of water... without you spiritual lectures wouldn’t be the same 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Brilliant talk. Thank you Ajhan Jayasaro. 🙏🙏🙏

Reading some of the comments posted I wonder what it is that impedes listening in so many of the commentators minds. I felt this talk was very profound and insightful but evidently many simply ignored or refused to examine what was said by the Ajahn prefering their prejudices and hostile perceptions as a source of satisfaction and comfort rather than opening themselves to the processes the Ajahn offered. A pity.

excellent, thanks

If you would like to know the real thing that arjahn talk about you have to come and practise maditation then you will know that nowboday can make you intouch but the practise is the one way you can get through....That is very supper happiness....

This is a very good happiness source of Buddhist lecher. Joy Hiran

Sardu Sardu Sardu. Profound and powerful teaching. Thank you Ajahn.

So well articulated and made easy to understand, easy to relate to.

listening to Venerable Ajahn Jayasoro is awesome

If we are familiar with The Buddha's teachings in Kalama Sutra/Sutta we would know that the Buddha advised us NOT to believe something because it's merely a tradition, hearsay, logical, congenial with our belief systems or preconceptions, the speaker's (or writer's) sounding credible, the speaker's (or writer's) being one's teacher, and surely NOT because it's the Buddha who said it. Rather he encouraged us to examine and observe to see if it's true and resonates in our heart as something good and wholesome to do. Thus, regarding the Dharma he gave us all an invitation to , "Ehi Passiko", lit. meaning, "Come and see for yourself); ehi=by oneself; passiko=see by oneself.

RIGHT TO THE POINT!!! thumbs up !!!!!

That is one heck of an unplanned talk.

It is a true WAKE UP CALL in life’s journey. Thank you!

thanks for sharing..

What kind of level of happiness is the happiness attained through knowledge? That is the reason I'm here after all. You may call me a nerd but learning something, more importantly understanding something makes me very, very happy. Even better is when I successfully teach someone. For not only do I obviously share knowledge which makes me very happy, but I reinforce the understanding of said knowledge.

อนุโมทนาสาธุครับ.

Anumodana, bhante. May you share in the merits of my practice and that of all your listeners. 🙏🌻🌷💮🏵️💮🌷🌻🙏

Sathu krab!

กราบนมัสการด้วยความเคารพ please consider sitting on chair like this when เทศน์ in Thailand. It is unnecessarily sitting on floor torturing against anatomy structure of the body. Please forgive my blunt proposal which might cross the boundary of appropriateness. I am the fan of listening to Chayasaro’s preaching footage everyday.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Sadhu sadhu sadhu

...Are Ajahn's eyebrows shaved too? I can't tell from the video :P

Ven Jayasaro is the wisest of the Ajahns

I found that intense meditation practice automatically leads to giving and morality.

4:32 Ajahn Jayasaro talks.

Dear BUDDHIST TEACHER , IN THE CURRENT MIND OF ME , perhaps the words of Buddha is like all existent , all nature , is an arrow pointing at own nature , pointing at what we are and his words is a great source of realization into own nature . As one awaken to own nature, one no longer holds anything in mind and constantly at a mind readiness of change . One will no longer choose what to learn or who to learn from as all living or non-living regardless its nature is a great source of own realization and all is a great teacher . So what is the reason for BUDDHIST TEACHER to teach Buddhism ? Over the past 16 years , I had communicated with hundreds if not thousands of people in the circle of formal Buddhism studies such as monk / teachers / practitioners / followers etc and now reach a mind that claim all Buddhist Teacher regardless the nature of their teaching is someone that suffering holding on an expended large mind filled with referrals and teaching it to others . In the current mind of me , Buddhist Teachers had robbed the words of Buddha and like the nature of a parasite, taking advantage by teaching Buddha’s words to enjoy fame and recognition from public . Buddhist Teacher in the current mind of me not only misleading Buddha’s words but is also responsible transforming it into a form of knowledge / culture even rituals . Perhaps 2500 years ago , Prince Siddharta had found a key that could lead to realization of own nature and his words is like an arrow pointing at what we are but Buddhist Teacher is teaching people that the arrow is pointing at “ A Goal” and lead people chasing that goal . I , by my registered name Ee Chuan Seng is putting a claim that all Buddhist Teacher is the “ Terrorist Of Mankind” for transforming perhaps the greatest discovery of mankind into a factor for human to continue to suffer. I am not a spam and will be responsible with all my claims . Dear sir , are you are Buddhist Teacher or someone teaching Buddhism ? The reason I contacted Buddhist Teacher is to challenge this current mind of me and a mind that question Buddhist Teacher’s role . I am currently at a mind readiness of change and regardless what , you are a great source of realization to me and always a great teacher . So if you are a Buddhist Teacher or someone teaching Buddhism , I hope you could reply and allow me explore the mind of you . Sincerely Ee Chuan Seng Malacca , Malaysia.
