A senior monk asked me once. Are you a fly or a bee? Then without waiting for a reply he proceeded to explain..
See a fly will eat anything. Feaces, filfth, garbage and the like. Flies spread nothing but disease. Flies also defecate just about anywhere.
Bees collect pollen from flowers which is then used to make honey. Honey is sweet and delicious. Honey is healthy. Honey is a medicine. It has curative properties.
I have strived to be a bee ever since.

Welcome back!
Hello. Thank you.
Long time friend
Join our monthly web conference on buddhist.cafe. Thank you for watching.
กราบหลวงปู่มั่น และพลวงพ่อผู้เผยแพร่ สาธุ
Thanks Bhante.
Metta Hotu. Kindly consider supporting Bhante G here www.givesendgo.com/varapanno
I joined the Buddhist Cafe maybe a month or 2 ago, then got some emails today, one saying my account has been deleted and the other saying "Bhante G will begin removing accounts that have laid idle. BsP (Buddhist Secure Project) requires serious attention. Time is a serious matter. I will not waste my time". Not wasting time with people like me sounds a bit harsh and abrupt, no warnings or anything, but OK. Just not feeling the metta with that one. Just letting people know that if you join the Buddhist Cafe then you really need to be active. If you don't engage enough in a month or 2 then your account will be deleted. It would be nice if you (Ven. Varapañño) in one of your videos, could give some warning about that and maybe suggest ways that those who join Buddhist Cafe can engage in the website so that they don't get their accounts removed. When I was looking at that website it didn't even seem clear how I could post on it. But my feedback is that I don't like time restraints. What if I went on holiday or retreat for a month, then my account will be gone when I come back? Not really my cup of tea, but maybe others will be OK with that type of thing.
Hello. Thanks for the comment. I have changed the way the site runs. Did you attend any live discussions or introduce yourself in any of the groups? Did you read my mission statement? Did you show support in any way? Did you do anything on the site? My newsletter was clear. Why post here instead of emailing support? In terms of Metta, could you kindly explain what you mean? Buddhist.cafe has a purpose and I have explained it in many videos here. You could of simply sent an email and this matter could of been resolved quickly. The updated 'Join' page explains some of the changes. After sending many emails to members, copious messages in the main group, I have not heard from you nor know who you are. If you wish you can easily create a new account. If not Sukhi Hotu.
Are you taking on serious meditation students
I share and help wherever i can.
With Gratitude.

Your talks are always so very excellent! Thank you Bhante 🙏
Thank you for the comment.
Thank you for a long video, I look forward to hearing this intently at work. Hearing you helps me to keep my vision focused on the path.
Excellent. I hope it helps in any good way. Thank you for the comment.
Gonna listen to this at work. Love the long video, thank you for your time, you are a genuine Bodhisattva in my eyes.
What are your standards? What would you like me cover in future videos? Thank you for watching. Can we reach 500 subscribers?
That's a lot of subscribers! Practically near a thousand! Just as it is with the Buddha; the Buddha remains and the rest gather in ever greater numbers.
@@acev337 inspiring.
How about a Pannobhasa style Q&A?
@@donfades7869 hello. I'll look at this idea down the track.
That is so true, there is no other choice when it comes to morality and kamma. I feel there's a lot of muddledness of right and wrong in laylife. An example in my own limited experiences at art academy and in the art world, there's a general sense of anything goes - there's no single right perception - and nothing concretely right or wrong, it's all a matter of taste so just do what you feel like, and don't think so much about it. One can rightly say that about the arts & music for example, but I think this attitude is also sometimes found in conversations about morality and life in general which is where we seriously go astray. Didn't the Buddha say that ''good deeds are like friends that welcome you in your next life'' or something like that? Thank you Bhante for the thought-provoking talk 🙏
Yes. Sometimes the Teaching gets counterfeited into 'easy going' do what you 'feel' etc. ..However if we look at the Buddha's life we can see nothing but incredible discipline. Incredible morality and much more.
What is your telegram dear monk🙏❤
I replaced telegram with buddhist.cafe. kindly consider joining.
Hello Bhante, glad I get see your videos. Stay safe
Thank you for the comment.
Ajahn Dick is near Lexington, VA
Right. The monks were just sitting around in monasteries without attaining to anything until Mun.
Thanks for the teaching Bhante🙏

Which Happiness is your focus?
Another excellent talk. Thank you Bhante 🙏🙏🙏
Bhante thank you for this video, and your content is slowly getting out to more people, so please dont be discouraged. You may experiment with Shorts giving a snippet of your dhamma talk and use the 'Related Link' option to point to your regular full video to drive more views to those interested in that specific tipic. One other video idea is perhaps to analyze a Dhamma talk from different teachers like the series from Venerable Luang Por/Ajahn Chah, Ajahn Martin Piyadhammo and Tan Ajahn Thanissaro "Bhikkhu" (people searching those tags maybe interested in those videos but giving your understanding especially Ajahn Chah who is no longer around to expound further on speciifc points in his talk). Please take or discard these ideas as your discern couls be helpful to bring more people to the Dhamma.
Thank you for the kind suggestions. I will give it some thought.
Direct your subscribers to also turn on notifications. If someone has many subscriptions they may not be immediately aware of your video.
Thank you for the comment. TH-cam is clearly suppressing the views. I can't do anything about it.
Big leaps are being made. Anumodana for the support.
rare & special monk indeed. Saaadhu sadhu sadhu...
How can I join the Telegram group?
Telegram account was replaced with buddhist.cafe. Consider making contact there.
Every Buddha, while they meditated on a mountain, started off with a few who remained and meditated together with the Buddha. They will increase in number. If you are a Buddha handling times in our cycle where there appears so few, you are blessed, for it is rare having an opportunity to water a desert. If the times and place chosen to teach the Dharma were busy and popular with it, the need for the Dharma would not appear so dire.

Thanks a lot Banthe 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for the teaching Bhante 🙏
Self discipline is perhaps the second most important thing in practice. What is the most important thing?
Thank you Banthe. Sila is the most important thing ?
in my opinion it is the 'Kalynamitta' or good friend. Others may disagree.
thank you Bhante.

There’s no doubt about your intentions to achieve the supreme bliss of nibbana or in other words to be enlightened by practicing the teachings of Buddha. But did you ever know that this forest tradition is rejected by Siddhartha Gautama Buddha? He was in the forest doing this hard line for 6 years yet got nothing and he abandoned the method? Only Jain Mahavira was advising his disciples to practice it. After Siddhartha’s demise many Jains became Buddhist monks to get benefits and included their point of views into Buddhism meantime making it also a useless religion. Now this has become useless as the real experiment that Buddha advised to do has been covered with Jain teachings and Hindu beliefs along with worshiping traditions. Good thing is, in Sri Lanka only in one place the real method is found and taught. In it the real practicing procedure is guided. I suggest you try that too if you clearly know that you’re not yet been enlightened/ achieved nibbana. You can connect to this teacher by reaching out to him via WhatsApp on +94 74 109 3800 (Ven. Wimala Thero)
We’re is the centre in Canberra.
not sure if you are asking a question or making a statement? 😃
Thanks for the teaching Bhante 🙏
Thank you for this great Dhamma talk. Many Western people are attracted to Buddhism because they believe it has this "laissez-faire" attitude, especially liberals in Western countries see Buddhism as a rebellious alternative to Christianity without realizing Buddhism has a lot of rules that go against their narrative. On the other hand, following conventions strictly and rules rigidly is also against the Dhamma. Silabata-paramasa (attachment to rites and rituals) is abandoned by the sotapanna (stream-enterer). Like Ajahn said, wisdom (pañña) must be developed. Thank you Ajahn for this great Dhamma talk 🙏🏻
