I'm listening to the monks who underwent training with Ajahn Chah, slowly my thinking and way of life is becoming more of a buddhist rather that christian. They were more applicable in todays life. I never seen such humility and discipline. What I observed is that when you listen - you talk less, sleep less and eat less, I became very simple in living and learn to accept the things as they are. Thank you so much.

I was devoutly Christian until my mid 30's when I fully realized that I knew the bible inside and out and was outwardly a fine man but I was a disaster inside. At age 49 I attended a Buddhist retreat knowing zero about the Buddha, what he accomplished or what he taught. 10 Years of daily practice later I am a completely different person, transformed from the inside out thanks to following the compassionate teachings of the Buddha. I'm far, far from perfect, but the teachings of the Buddha are nothing short of stainless and brilliant. I have great compassion for Christians. Thank you for listening to this talk.

Seeing the peaceful and graceful bearing of good monks is every bit as important as listening to these wonderful talks and pondering their deeper meanings.Posting these videos is a wonderful Dhamma Dana sadhu sadhu sadhu.

Thanks for the teaching and I will continue to open those who seeks the truth of LIVING LIFE= notice LIVING . If only we all just follow some of these lecture that make so so so much sense as living a LIFE as a HUMAN. No long stories , no beating around bushes, straight facts and in your face. Thanks you very much. May your journey to Nibanna be not long to seek from understanding!

Nyanddhsrmo is a very good, Buddhist guide. I practice in the Zen sect. But his understanding of the general Buddhist path is very helpful* In gassho Richard

Lord Buddha said to this world,Mind is forerunner of all things,good or bad mind is foremost, There is no reward or punishment in buddha's teaching, He was not a Creator & Saviour He showed the path, We are our own Masters .

compassion toward parents as your brothers and sisters as we are raised by the world is a good thing in the eyes of, life is precious, wonderful and mysterious, it's a wonderful thing to be born in human form especially in unconditional love and compassion a person can evolve into thru the practice of simple meditation and mindfulness of speech, emotion, the heart and the breath. it's easy to judge one's parents, we have all experienced this judgement but let us not judge the judgement.

You can not hold your left shoulder. You can not hold your right shoulder. Then you can not hold your shoulders. Could you please tell me why are they doing these scenarios in regression? I really do not know... such stuff. I dont think I want to know this.

I actually heard he was very strict and would yell at the monks.

@scheibermartin738 4 жыл бұрын

Not screaming, but he was quite strict. The first 5 years under a teacher like him, is sometimes like hell. But if you follow his teachings and rules, you will be forever grateful.

You do not know my whole story and you should not, but it is really only about rape and cutting legs and hands off.I need my rest, do not come, you are destroying the work of others. Do not bother me, I need my rest. I am already peeing in my bed because it is too painful, it is already too painful to walk, to walk to the toilet. Its just, you do not know what I did to myself to die, and it did not work out, I am still alive.

That story about carrying parents on shoulders is clearly a contamination and has nothing to do with original teachings of Buddha.
