Imagine having Ajahn Brahm's confidence in his philosophy? We all agree, but always revert back to worry worry worry soon after listening. I must try to listen every day, and maybe one day I'll think like him.
We are actor and audience at the same time. The "inner" audience knows the worry but never gets worried itself. That is the real you. There's a guided meditation of Mooji here on yt as well. It's called "the invitation", I believe. There is more of him (sangha) of course that might be helpful. All the best, you are not alone with this.
@@eisvogel8099 How very kind you are, thank you. I have gone to his Invitations and am listening right now. What beautiful wisdom these wonderful people have, the envy of the world, 3000 years ahead of us yet 3000 years in the past. .
I have been listening to AB through the pandemic and am finding myself evolving. It started as a way to go back to sleep when I was stressed out and work in the night. He has a very hypnotic voice. Gradually, over the months, I found myself changing. AM or pandemic lockdown, who knows. But then I started listening to them when I didn’t want to sleep. I live much more ‘in the now’, I have limited myself to 8 hours of works (instead of 12+ like I did for many years), and am now finding new hobbies . I am calmer, more collected, and more productive in discussions.
Ajahn Brahm helps me to cope with the covid situation. It's a better way than resolve depression with alcohol. Cause of Ajahn I can manage. Thank you so much for sharing
Same here I love this jolly happy loving Buddha he has taught me alot by being kind he cares for others first. If I could go on any vacation I'd love to see him
this is important;however we do hear it frequently elsewhere.what is needed is when the undesirable doesnt stop.when it isnt just an abuse from the past,but abusers keep at it. could u speak to this?
That's funny, I am also a big fan of both Joel Osteen and Ajahm Brahm, I think they preach a similar philosophy on life and both very inspirational speakers.
Gregaru I guess that is the big difference between Ajahn Brahm andJoel Olsteen. Joel Olsteen was unfortunately born into a society that worships money and Ajahn Brahm wasn', (or rather made choice to become a monk and not have money). And too much money for anyone is destructive.
Don Jon - Let's follow Ajahn Brahm on this one and deal with our worries by respectfully ignoring the 'reverend' who is likely just a really pathetic 45 year old dude who lives in his mom's basement, found a picture of an actual reverend online to make a fake profile, and who's sole happiness comes from getting a rise out of people like us by trolling TH-cam and spewing hate :) Join me in ignoring it!!!
Reverend Eslam Rev Eslam, isn't it good to pray for everyone to be happy & content in life? If everyone is happy & content in life, there will be harmony, happiness, contentment, helping, loving & respecting others, whether they be muslim, christian, jewish, buddhist, etc…. All teachings by any religion are true wisdom & directly from the mouth of God, since no human from the beginning of time, has seen him or her personally. For all those humans that had seen our religious teachers ( Jesus Christ, Mohammed, Buddha etc ) are all dead. What we know to date are translations of those teachings. No religion in this world teaches us to be unkind, disrespectful, to destroy, or to condemn others. I have many friends of many faiths. I always pray for everyone to be happy & content in life.
When it comes right down to it, Karl BHX, the word S-H-I-T is just a word. Would it be so much more appropriate if he said "feces", "excrement", "dung", etc.? I highly doubt that Ajahn Brahm is any less familiar with Buddhist writings, history, philosophy or psychology than many other teachers. What he does have, which many lack, is humour and a strong ability to communicate with many. If he uses that gift to advantage it shows true wisdom, it doesn't make him a 'showman'. I think more respect for this wonderful person, who has given so much freely is due from you. I think greater reflection is also due.
+1madaboutguitar11 - Butt hurt? Just because I have an opinion? Read my reply to the other unskillful ass (ass is just a word according to you so you won't be offended will you. Me I DO get offended by profanities so please don't use any towards me if you are buddhist or interested in the Dhamma. Thanks) MAD about a guitar? hmmm, says it all. Idiot (and that's just a word too). Actually these are all just words. Metta
wow, i didn't know God's name was"avatar adi whatever"! wait, if this person isn't God either, than why do we turn to him to hear words from "god's mouth"?
Because the truth will occur to you whether you decide to listen or not, believe it or not. This is not about an entity to follow, this is about a guidance of getting through live in its wisdom. Smh.
Seems that Ajahn Brahm is an entertainer ...a showman. The thing about entertaining is that people (the audience) can be influenced by charm. For example, if you're a salesman or trying to court a partner, make 'em laugh' and you've got 'em! Point is, and I sincerely make it with a humble and respectful heart ... I understand the need to communicate truths/wisdoms effectively, and in a manner (language, pitch, creative way etc) ..but are there any limits to the 'examples' and 'profanities' say a Monk of all people can use to engage with others? Consider a teacher in any country using the word s#@t before a classroom of young children, or someone who is recently bereaved due to losing their loved ones in a air disaster. Whilst I see the place humour has in communiction, are there any limits or moral lines that shouldn't or moreover needn't be crossed by a respected and learned religious leader to make a valuable point or teaching? Tsunami tragedy??? ...Those that died should have read the contract??? ..hmmm, sorry I can't see, feel, hear or sense the 'loving kindness or compassion' in his choice of words. STILL he is a funny man (to some). So glad to see he didn't make light of the black African vs white African during the tragic days of aparthied. I guess some things not even charming monks would dare to embroider with humour and laughs! No offence intended, just feel there has to be limits to what we say and do... ..."Watch your thoughts. They become words. Watch your words. They become deeds. Watch your deeds. They become habits. Watch your habits. They become character. Character is everything"... (Quote: Buddha?) Peace
jesus is the only way> strange how u called ppl names like idolater, telling folks to "repent" for their beliefs, and generally insult them w ur words, than tell them u dun wan to offend? can i slap u n tell u that it wasn't my intention to slap u so if u got angry u r being petty? 1 more thing; buddhism isn't about worshipping a God. buddha never said he was a God, he never claimed to be one, neither do any Buddhists call him a God. he is a great teacher, an awakened being. n no, we as Buddhists r not worshipping him, we hold him in reverence, n also as a reminder to being a conscious being.
@JL your first paragraph was amazing metaphor. I went to Catholic school for 12 years and 4 years in Christian university. I love what being taught in the bible. however, it is a pity looking at someone who force or push non-Christian to "repent" and so on. If you have faith that your God is the only way, believe me, the others will follow him automatically, no need to "advertise" your God. I was born as a Buddhist and be a Buddhist forever because Buddhism never taught you to follow him if you feel he isn't right or misleading. It is more sensible than just "fear" about your sin and going to hell. Cheers!
Finally people that understands x . x. Most people pray to buddha wanting things, you can do that, but according to buddhism if you do good, then you will get good karma. I have heard there are some people who convert out of Buddhism because when they pray to Buddha, they don't get what they want.
Jesus is God,there is no other gods beside Him.God Father,God the Son ,God Holy Spirit.blessed Trinity..He said whoever call upon Him shall be saved Romans 10:13 If you call Him with your sincere heart.He will hear your call if.i believed what is seen before and ow thank be to God i believe what is unseen and what is unseen is teh most powerful.He has a power to save and only Him can save you from hell fire.lack of decision can bring you to a great regret..He came to give life and abundantly[spiritual]but the devil came to kill and steal.stop worshiping idols my dear friends..they cant talk nor help,walk etc.He lives forever,Emmanuel God is with us,,He loves u He thought of u when He was on the cross and only Him can forgive all your sin,if u have ears to hear please hear...love and peace in Christ be with you all
Federer Chua So!!!Repent of your sin..that you will be saved from hell fire.and God doesnt rescue you only from hell but in every troubles,worries,health,and even financial...etc..if only you believe,, Anyway i am not forcing you to believe neither God so dont need to argue back I wouldnt want to offend anyone,,God loves you
***** Hi idolater!!why is He weeping?Jesus came to give life but you twisted my messages,Jesus told us to preach His word all over but people like you try to discredit His word,He told us all to repent that you can be saved,He told us to stop sinning..so what is your problem??HE IS LOVE AND CONSUMING FIRE TOO
Jesus is the only Way you are a human who goes on the internet scaring people about jesus, look at yourself from a psychological standpoint... you guys honestly scare us. youtube comments are about the video, you could make an actual comment on it but no you called someone an idolater. you denounced that person. that is NOT compassion, atleast ajahn brahm speaks of compassion even if he was wrong. and if he is the one who suffers, and you triumph, you live in a deluded concept of reality. you are preaching a message of fear, just because youre scared of that thing and feel its "existence", doesnt mean i feel it at all, and i dont, so please stop scaring people on youtube
Evan Rabinowitz Were you have time to read all my messages? How could you not understand what I wrote? im telling you guys The truth that Jesus Christ is the Only Way for us to go to heaven. Don't you want to go after u die? there is no cease to exist or reincarnation.but heaven and hell ,the saved and the lost. Which r u. I was an idolater. And what is wrong if I know how wrong it is to worship the idols.this is pretty actual dear.faith comes from hearing.just open your heart when u read God's message.He came to give life not to kill but the devil came to kill and steal all of your soul.you can't fight against sin by your own strength but by God's strength we will win the battle of sin.my dear humbly is the key to of the Lord... the way to Jesus is not holy but the way of holiness is Jesus Christ.no other names under heaven or heaven which we must be saved but the name of the Lord Jesus Christ the Savior of mankind alone... He loves us all and He wants to bless us dear pls try to understand this message.we want you all to be saved through Christ not to condemn anyone..understood? thx..God loves u

Same here he saved me I was at the end
I must listen alot this is the 3rd time I heard chickens story I've you Ajahn Brham. He's like Santa Claus everyday
Good/bad who knows... just changed my life with this... brahm I owe my life to u.... sadhu...
Same here I love this jolly happy loving Buddha he has taught me alot by being kind he cares for others first. If I could go on any vacation I'd love to see him
Such amazing wisdom. I'm so grateful for Ajahn Brahm.
Thanks a lot Ajahn Brahm and also who ever updated these valuable clips. Each and every point is gold in these.
AB makes my days become so much happier.
Thank you Ajahn Brahm!!!!
You are a great teacher.
I love your sense of humour
And I find peace because of your teachings.
Miri
"your job: let karma to be the justice ... forgiving does not mean accepting" Really deep meaning if we think about it.
15:42 The doctor saying "who knows?" reminds me how a misfortune can be good fortune & vice.Another great talk by Ajahn Brahm.
Jesus is Great, Buddha Is Great, We should share good points of life ..Cheer mate :)
Soulfulhead Khong
we got the same sur name. same intrest.heee.
Love them both Jesus Buddha God gives us a balance of love wisdom. So thankful for Ajhan Brham
That rhymed nicely
Love this--very humbling message.
He looks so calm when he's speaking.
thanks a lot Ajahn Brahm,, for all stories in " Si Cacing dan Kotoran Kesayangannya "
this is important;however we do hear it frequently elsewhere.what is needed is when the undesirable doesnt stop.when it isnt just an abuse from the past,but abusers keep at it. could u speak to this?
Jesus is a Prince of Peace,
Now
Indeed.
Buddha as well.
Thank you so much for sharing this Dharma. Sathu Sathu.
Sadhu sadhu sadhu
"The best dhamma talk is Always your life"that was Good saying💪♥️🌷 I Will Keep that
I love Joel Osteen talks too ...:)
That's funny, I am also a big fan of both Joel Osteen and Ajahm Brahm, I think they preach a similar philosophy on life and both very inspirational speakers.
jtking2504 Jesus died so Joel Osteen could buy a 10.5 million-dollar mansion.
Gregaru I guess that is the big difference between Ajahn Brahm andJoel Olsteen. Joel Olsteen was unfortunately born into a society that worships money and Ajahn Brahm wasn', (or rather made choice to become a monk and not have money). And too much money for anyone is destructive.
Yes and Joel conveniently forgets or ignores Jesus's warnings for the rich.
If anyone would prefer to hear true wisdom directly from the mouth of God, search TH-cam and/or Google for "Avatar Adi Da Samraj".
Hallelujah!
Listening to these two are not mutually exclusive. Please do not insult Ajahn Brahm with your implications.

Brahmavamso. Ajahn is how people in Thailand call a forest monk. So it becomes Ajahn Brahmavamso
Ugh the sound quality plus my phone speaker quality
