- Ajahn Brahmali talks about how a greater understanding of the Buddha's life and practice can be a source of inspiration for our own practice.
Everyday you learn something new about the Buddha.That's what makes him and following him interesting :)
Listening to this in 2021!
I'm not used to his voice & style here, been listening to the more recent videos 🤔
Still very helpful and good nonetheless 😃 thank you!
May you all be peaceful, happy, well and loved.
I am a Hindhu, But I always loved Buddhism, because it is so intense & real & straightforward & uncomplicated.
I have read 4 noble truths & 8 noble paths many times so far & conceptually i have understood it, but wanted a tool to practice.
I mostly play games in my iPhone & I searched for Buddha related apps & I saw one interesting app called "BuDhamma" by Lokesh Hanumappa. This app helps you practice 8 noble path in a cool way with reminders, reports, tests & graphic rich practice summary.
🙏🙏🙏
these monks are warm, and wonderful teachers! although I belong to a different lineage, its still all the same, I could learn greatly from these monks!
That was an awesome lecture. Thank you for uploading the video.
Great teaching, always something new.
Thank you. Ajahn Barahmali
Often, the following from the Dhammapada (153 -154) are regarded as the first utterance:
Before discovering true knowledge, I cycled round in myriad births, Searching for builder of this house, Every new birth bringing more suffering. Now, I know you, builder of this house. You will not build this house again. I have pulled down your ridgepole and razed your framework to the ground. My mind has reached the Unconditioned. I have attained the destruction of craving.
He is wonderful to watch and listen to!
Bhante Ajan Bramhali is great Buddhist monk.
Thank you very much Bhante, for this excelent Dhamma Discourse. Bhadanta Brahmali is now a Maha Thero, if I´m not mistaken. Sadhu and greetings from South America.
May all being be at ease
May all being be at peace
May all being be free from pain and suffering
May all being be fill with loving and kindness
May all being be fill with joys
This is a true quality preaching. Monks in Bangkok hardly preach like this anymore. (Maybe they do, but I've never seen one in years) Maybe, it's because majority of Thais are pretty familiar with this kind of story already.
Temple in Bangkok, if not drown in money and power, they would be busy with funerals :P
amazing revelation.. he speaks the truth
Would you please talk about Tarah, the female Buddha of wisdom,active compassion.
Thank you for the teachings that I listen to most mornings.

I was referring to reincarnation (as nonsensical). Though i indeed don't believe in the existence of a separate entity (ruler/creator) in our universe, which is a more vague question, and difficult to answer.
deriving well being from teachings of buddha is a REALITY
i found englightenment by watching buddha because they dont kill other pple or destroy life.
I love Buddha because the fact that we can relate to him. Siddhartha had the same problems as us in achieving happiness so we can all relate to him. He is NOT a God or some kind of superior being. He is just human being with curiosity in attaining TRUE happiness.
If there is no God, Who makes the decision about the life form one will take in the next life. Someone with intelligence should make that judgement!
Well can any one tell what was the last question.
BUDDHA IS A WITNESS HE SAYS U CAN DO IT LIKE HIM! ROLE MODEL
i changed to this religion because there are so many doomsday prophises in christianity. and with buddha you can just relax
True that, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, all seem to relate to one thing, armaggeddon... Sadly they seem to be self-fulfiling religions.
@magebaba Yeah, their "religion" is more about death than anything, it seems.
You make a good point fallenwillrise. I think the various Buddhistic schools carry the same burden as most other religions. They have outdated world views that can't hold up in the light of new insights.
The odd thing is, i haven't yet seen Buddha talk such specific nonsense. It seems that a lot of the stuff was made up afterwards.
A free minded and honest person would admit to himself the fallacies of the culture he was brought up in. The Zen branch is usually more appealing to westerners.
buddha had many lives (lifes) before to fulfill to become as a Buddha. It is not easy to become buddha, not just Suttadha life.
@HappyBuddha100 I think they fear Buddhism cos it makes sense.
There are answers with no philosophy. You dont need to be taught how to inquire and develop your own answers. Just as there are trees, air, water and mountains there are answers. You are that too!
their problem is they themself doesn't believe Islam and themself.Once you see in Baharain night clubs how many Sudi Arabians are under the influence of alcohol u will understand their problems.
(contd.)
I don't want to bad-mouth Buddhism, it's one of the most peaceful religions around. That i value, and i'm subscribed to BSWA's channel. I just think that reincarnation is a trait of the same nature as e.g. the christian rapture.
This talk, and moreso the one by Ajahn-Brahm(avamso) approach the topic from the assumption that it's true, and do little to address the flaws. I simply don't agree with that.
Being *occupied* with the *idea* of reincarnation, or enlightenment, is not beneficial either. On the contrary, it's highly contraproductive to the practicing Buddhist, because the idealizing mindset is opposing to the path of realization/liberation: it's clinging and delusion, rather than letting go and embracing reality.
Experienced meditators say that in deep meditation one will be able to *directly experience* his or her past lives. True or not, there is no point of arguing about it. :-)
BUDDHA -3
This guy is a sweetheart, and I admire his simple devotion, but after watching several of his talks, I'm getting the impression that if he were a Christian, he might be an evangelical, or at least a "fundamentalist."
On another note, I'm a little mystified at the comments about Islam on here. They seem a bit irrelevant to the talk, and a bit angry.
We build ourselves a boogie man, then we feed his hatred all we can. These days he's got a beard and robes, in the past he had a beard and a beret. Before that he had a beard and a pair of horns. I guess the boogie man is in the beard. I guess the most fearsome attribute we know of is the beard. Horns are out of style these days.
@magebaba arresting someone because they painted a Buddha underneath their shoe is as un-Buddhist an action as there can be. Sometimes I really wonder about these "Buddhist" countries. This is why I'm glad I live in America where I can practice the Dhamma in its true form without cultural influences.
Maybe good a Christian get to go to heaven, but a great buddhist get to go to THE PURE LAND. Who wants to go to heaven when we can to straight to The Pure Land to reach Nirvana? It's the same as who would want to live in CHINA when they can live in the U.S.? If you ask anyone from the third world country they'd tell you that they want to live in America. China is great but America is better. Heaven is great but reaching enlightenment for Nirvana is best. Does that makes any sense to you?
I see your comment 4 years ago about America being great........how things change now that someone like Trump is president. Its such a shame
May the scales fall from the eyes of all the deluded ones; may their minds be freed from their defilements; may they come to see the Truth! Even Jesus, the Christ told us to become Buddhists. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them." Matt. 7:20....
Just LOOK AND SEE what ignorance and misery are created by monotheism - you Jews, Christians and Muslims.
Namo tassa bhagavato arahato samma sambuddhassa!
Where is this said?
my religion its the truth christianity its been a roman catholic all my life why many people continue to be christians and not for any political use but only for the true faith
first of all its 2010 y are u wearing that? If buddah lived today he would wear pants.
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus Romans 3:23-24
This is absurd!
Going by your theory everything you desire and long for must happen even now! But we dont see it happening!
Budda is not God he is dead and gone.
And if there is no God who sets the stages?
Google - Islam and Science
Jesus is the only way john 3:16
So why force kids to become monks and make them waste their lives?
I challenge you to show moe ONE sentence from Buddist text that is in line with science!
you only believe in jesus christ and you be save
He is not real
It doesn't matter if he is real or not. In Buddhism, it's important to stick with the present. Buddhism is all about process and practices that has been widely acceptable for more than 2,500 years. It's never about idols or individuals. He's a human like us, and he was long gone. End of the story.
You can dig his grave, but it's not the main objective of Buddhism. You aren't going to find holy grail or aliens anyway. We all know that history was mostly written up and unreliable.
The most important thing is to take the wisdom that has been collected from generation to generation to solve your problem. Think it through for yourself. That's the core of Buddhism.
Atta hi attano natho - Save your own self by your self.
Most story about pass life and fantasy are interpretation and method of teaching for different cultures around the world. Some made it into a long story. Some made it into a song. Olden age society based on verbal communication, and everything just has to be inform of story. So people who can't write can pass it on to others. That's all.
Every monk know it. It was always stated that "As what they said to be...." "The folk said..." You don't have to believe the entire story as a history fact. You just have to focus on the objective of the story. What the teller would like to inspire you.
How do you know? Where you around 2500 years ago?
Jill D It's was written in the principal of Buddhism. The principle never claim itself to be entirely true, you are free to interprete and understand however you want. I just happen to believe in it because it sounds reasonable and it made my life better.
