Buddhist wisdom and compassion combined with being so down to earth in one "person". That makes Ajahn Brahm so approachable. He helps me to cope with the new Covid situation. Thank you so much
Have been following Ajahn for as far back as I can remember. A truly compassionate teacher, monk and human being - oh, and a bodhisattva in the making :-) :-) :-)
I really needed to hear his talk with the reminder about the difference between thinking of a task and actally doing it. Doing is easier than thinking. So. Very. True. Sadhu. Sadhu. Sadhu. 🙏🙏🙏
"All the wisdom, the truth, the kindness, the love [...] it doesn't come from the books. It comes from stillness." - Ajahn Brahm quoted from this talk 🙏🙏🙏
Is Dhamma life ? AB teaches Dhamma through his life experiences. Amazing. I’ve learned so much and continue to learn even after hearing this talk for 100 times.
Always nice to hear from Ajahn Brahm. But they're all going off on their rains retreat soon. Good for them! Yay Team! Can I come hang out there for those 3 months? 😂😂 Take it easy everyone 🙏😊🙋
I use the power of Stillness in Tennis. It came to me several weeks ago that the power to hurl the ball comes from the very last part of a tennis stroke. I keep my Mind Still until one moment before the racquet makes ball impact. At the moment of ball impact is when I “EXPLODE” and launch the ball.
One day , a boy met " Buddha" and said to Buddha..." Buddha, I want to be like you ...please tell me how ".................. "Buddha" said " Well , if you want to be me .....you will see white line appear on the floor ...and things will appear on the side of the line ...collect it and bring it to me ...the more thing you bring to me , the greater chance you be me "....... So one day , the boy wanted to be Buddha and saw white line and things appear on the floor .....................he is so excited and follow the white line and collect things and carry it on his back ........ as he travel , his desire to be Buddha increase , his love to be Buddha increase , his greed for more things increase , his fear of losing things that he collected increase .... his ego to be Buddha increase ... and as he collected more and more items and it became more and more heavy .........and he is getting more and more suffer .............at one point , as he turn his head ...he was shocked and saw , white line are everywhere ......and there are countless of item on the floor ...and there are no one beside him ... he is always alone ...no one going to take away the things he collected on his back .........he recognize he is like someone watching a movie , acted and directed by him ............. now , his desire to travel decreases , his love to be Buddha decreases , his fear of losing the things he carried decreases , his greed / ego of holding on his will decreases ........and his will to move on decreases ....... as his will and the hold on the things on his back decreases . all things slowly , gradually and naturally drop from his back ... and as more and more things drops from his back , he is more and more at ease ........ and finally there is no more things on his back ...there is no more holds on his will ...his will to travel decreases ...he is moving slower and slower ....he finally stop as he no longer with any will to travel.....and he is arrived ... he is free ...he is peace ....he is Buddha ....... So the words of Buddha is never a guide or a path. The words of Buddha is not about how you should live or how good you should be ….the words of Buddha is not a guide to be kind or to develop into your desired person . In the current mind of me , the words of Buddha is simply like an arrow pointing at What you are ….is like a mirror reflecting YOU…is all about YOU not a guide of who you should be. You are EMOTION that travel in life . You are desire / love / fear / hate / anger / greed / ego etc and like all existent regardless living or non-living you are from nothingness turn to somethingness and now from somethingness you are naturally leading back to nothingness . Buddha is nothingness …. THE ONE THAT CHANGED IS BUDDHA . THE ONE THAT CHANGING IS BUDDHIST . THE PROCESS OF CHANGING IS BUDDHISM . For the last over 18 years , I had communicated with hundreds of Buddhist Teacher from various background and from all over the world , now I am at a mind that claimed , all Buddhist Teacher are suffering holding on an extra large mind filled with referrals of Buddhism and is guiding people into a path of greater suffering in the name of Buddhism . All Buddhist Teacher are teaching Buddhism as a form of knowledge / faith / culture even ritual , guiding people to know , to understand even try to experience Buddha’s words and you will hold on to Buddha’s words as a form of referral in mind and that is the basis of your suffering . In the current mind of me , the words of Buddha is never about knowing or understanding ……the words of Buddha is about realization and realization react on opposite manner and reverse nature of understanding / knowing . So the more you try to know Buddhism , the more you learn to understand or try to experience Buddha’s words , the further you travel away from realization ….you are just like someone chasing own shadow . All Buddhist Teacher are using Buddha's words as a guide for you to be " someone ".... leading you to be " there "....but you are always " here " ...is you that suffer struggling to be " there ".... All Buddhist Teacher are like someone giving you muddy water to wash your clothing and let you expect it to be cleaned while they relaxing drinking cappuccino at Starbucks and let you pay the bill. In the current mind of me all Buddhist Teacher are robber that robbed Buddha's words by claiming as “ The Teacher” of Buddha’s words ....a PARASITE that feeding on Buddha words for fame and recognition and a TERRORIST OF MANKIND for transforming perhaps the greatest discovery of mankind into a factor for human to suffer .I am not a spam or a troll and is here with my identity card name and a face on my profile.....I will be responsible with all my claims. I am not here to prove anything. I cordially invites any Buddhist Teacher or anyone that formally teaching Buddhism ( Buddha’s words) to contact me for debate as to challenge this current mind of me . My email is 1988csee@gmail.com
What would I have done without Ajahn Brahm. I wouldn't have become a Buddhist. 😍🙏

I am so grateful that you are still here teaching. I was legitimately depressed when I heard that you were leaving. I am glad everything worked out!
Sandra why did he almost leave ? Like leave being a monk completely ?
I am born Hindu from India but love each session of yours.

"Buddha" said " Well , if you want to be me .....you will see white line appear on the floor ...and things will appear on the side of the line ...collect it and bring it to me ...the more thing you bring to me , the greater chance you be me ".......
So one day , the boy wanted to be Buddha and saw white line and things appear on the floor .....................he is so excited and follow the white line and collect things and carry it on his back ........
as he travel , his desire to be Buddha increase , his love to be Buddha increase , his greed for more things increase , his fear of losing things that he collected increase .... his ego to be Buddha increase ...
and as he collected more and more items and it became more and more heavy .........and he is getting more and more suffer .............at one point , as he turn his head ...he was shocked and saw , white line are everywhere ......and there are countless of item on the floor ...and there are no one beside him ... he is always alone ...no one going to take away the things he collected on his back .........he recognize he is like someone watching a movie , acted and directed by him .............
now , his desire to travel decreases , his love to be Buddha decreases , his fear of losing the things he carried decreases , his greed / ego of holding on his will decreases ........and his will to move on decreases .......
as his will and the hold on the things on his back decreases .
all things slowly , gradually and naturally drop from his back ... and as more and more things drops from his back , he is more and more at ease ........
and finally there is no more things on his back ...there is no more holds on his will ...his will to travel decreases ...he is moving slower and slower ....he finally stop as he no longer with any will to travel.....and he is arrived ... he is free ...he is peace ....he is Buddha .......
So the words of Buddha is never a guide or a path.
The words of Buddha is not about how you should live or how good you should be ….the words of Buddha is not a guide to be kind or to develop into your desired person .
In the current mind of me , the words of Buddha is simply like an arrow pointing at What you are ….is like a mirror reflecting YOU…is all about YOU not a guide of who you should be.
You are EMOTION that travel in life .
You are desire / love / fear / hate / anger / greed / ego etc and like all existent regardless living or non-living you are from nothingness turn to somethingness and now from somethingness you are naturally leading back to nothingness .
Buddha is nothingness ….
