- Ajahn Brahm gives a talk on how to find some way through the thicket of confusion. Ajahn talks about remaining open to the potentials and opportunities that life brings, rather than allowing ourselves to become overwhelmed and lost in confusion.
These are the best talks on the Web, listen to the lot again and again thank you
The world thinks winning is happiness. The enightened ones know winning is suffering. Losing is the happy path. It is the path of freedom, of self-disappearing - Ajahn Brahm
I want Ajahn Brahm to be by my bedside in my last hour or two before I die to tell me stories. I want to leave this existence with a light heart and laughing. That way, I can be sure to have a positive rebirth (LOL).
Ajhan brahm
My step daughter told me last night she has MS multiple Sclerosis. I told her about meditation and about you. KIND LOVING FUNNY ACCEPTING AND WISE !
And How I found peace listening to you. I hope she will take my advice and listen to and find healing n comfort.
When I grow up, I want to be just like Ajahn Brahm (minus the tummy) and be able to say such good thoughts simply because I would be a good person. It will probably never happen, but at least I've got a guide along the way. Thank you so much for the talk. It was truly inspiring.
Well, you need the tummy.. Where do you think all those stories are stored? Haha :D
Nemanja Bogdanovic haha
oh..you are so cute!
Hehe, me too! It'll happen for sure! just keep on listening and practising, it's as simple as that! ;)
The_Monk_Weee! Aspire to getting off the merry-go-round (the roller coaster ride) of life. Aspire to waking up!
love your talks, Ajahn Brahm. I've been listening to your teachings every morning and it truly is applicable. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu
You have helped me so much. Bless you. Thank you. 🎉
Blooming brilliant, funny, incisive, thoroughly enjoyed the talk. Thank you!
I love these teachings!!! 💕💓💕
u say half a million,pity it wasn't 7 ,billion.how great the world would be,god bless u xxx
Full perspective; cease and venture; aware of beautiful events and activities. Laugh at the self & circumstances. Nothing standstill. Tq
Thank you Ajahn Brahm. I will toss a coin tonight.
i love your talks Ajahn Brahm! forget the criticism though.... some thick heads don't understand the truth....
Mindfullness can help relieve confusion also. Being aware of what is happening, understanding the situation, creating a logical plan, being mindful as you do it...helps you disappear, now it's just the plan of action working. You just sit back and relax & watch everything unfold. No more confusion just a process. Your plan of action is a cause and has an effect. If it's good, keep the plan. If it's bad, adjust or scrap it all together. Cause & effect. Mindfulness & clarity not Mindless action & confusion
who the heck are the 3 confused people who give this thumbs down?!!!
So funny. I remember the movie "Tarantula". Wonderful talk as usual. Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu!!
I would like to hear a talk on becoming a monk or nun. How they go about screening people, requirements, etc. Do you have to already be spiritually advanced? Be able to meditate a certain amount off time? Memorized the scriptures in Pali first? Pay money to the monastery? Do they give aspirants a chance to ask questions? How do you help keep the sanghe running? Do you pay for classes? I hear the teachers reference the monastic life, but not specifically how to get into it. Not that I want to, but, you know, other people listening might want to know, correct?? Just what are the requirements if someone tries the monastic life a few months and thinks maybe they've stepped on a path they've always kind of been on anyway, but now can take their focus to 'the next level' and undistracted by the world. Not that I would do that but others might be thinking about it Venerable bhante 😊🙏🙋
yes, I have the same questions. Hope you get a response. Do know there is one talk about daily life if a Monk?
So clear about my confusion
Thank you Ajahn :)
Thank you so much.
อนุโมทนาสาธุค่ะท่าน
i love you ajahn brahm! looks like this is actually now...dec 23 2014...xmas lights. summer in australia, one sided robe. ok, back to the story about the pyramid. so exciting and real!
To Divinity: I decided to read on the Mayans out of curiosity, because I also thought the Spaniards. Mayan Collapse actually happened between the 8th and 9th Century and no theory is universally accepted regarding why. When the Spaniards arrived the Mayans had already ceased significantly on construction, and many cities had been abandoned. So he is referring to that decline ( not the colonial period)
juan david I would love to visit those pyramids. The Mayans had an interesting mathematical system of counting and very unique hieroglyphics
Thank you dear monk
i've long found this to be true that when i go for a hike up a mt or even atop a roof of a house i have mental clarity and relief
Thank You!
re: divinity33372
I think to have understood that ajahn Brahm explains that, when he was 18, he did not know about the history about the Mexican pyramids. Because he had no money to buy a guidebook and he had not done any research about them beforehand. He spoke about himself 45 years ago
🙏🙏💜
I've been listening to lectures, reading books, listening audio books and blogs about Buddhism in a mission to try understand what it is about and how it works. Four months in and I am none the wiser. Is the point that there is no point ?
So you've taken nothing away from your studies?
Quiet Poem
Questions about life
Universe full of answers
Infinite solutions
Emptiness reveals the way forward
Thankful & still...

Sadhu Sadhu Saaaaaadhuuu ❤️
I love the idea that tree's only grow whilst your not looking ...quick, he's been distracted:) sahhhdooo
Was wondering if you are ever thinking of coming to the uk?
Patrick Briggs I hope he comes to New York City USA. I will be first on line! 😊🇺🇸✈ He should also visit the biggest Buddha statue in USA which is in New Jersey
What does sadoo mean at the end of the talk?
It is "Sadhu", and as I understand, it means "Very Good! Well Done!!"
Thanks Angela!
Sadhu- a holy man, sage, or ascetic. It's said as an acknowledgement and praise to their wisdom.
Brahm, you need a better camera.
he doesn't. you need Him to have new camera
It seems like Gayan has attained Sovan Sadhu , Sadhu, Sadhu
Calm down people have you listened to the man at all about arguing?
Sadhu333!
every talk his robe falls down. why cant he have it stitched up or something?
re98 wlk It gives him character. 😄
Does it really matter?

I love your talks but I must express some disappointment at your claim that we don't know what happened to the people who lived in those pyramids, A quick look at Mexican history will clear it all up. In short, those people...my ancestors...where enslaved and murdered by Spaniards and those who weren't were killed by the small pox they brought across the sea with them. Like I said, I love your talks and I think the world of you but these people have a story that has been forgotten by many and that plays a part in their extermination.
Divinity33372 Blah, blah, blah. We're disappointed at your need for attention.
@@akexkdffakdkwicdfkkdkk7343 I doubt Ajhan Brahm is anti anything...
ajahn brahm inspired me to want to become a monk but yesterday i read the 227 precepts and they are weird! no singing or dancing. and tons of weird crap. why? such a turn off. typical. religious bs and why do they call the female monks nuns like icky catholics? i know ajahn brahm is modern and encouraging gay marriage and female monks. maybe he can abolish the weird precepts? doubt it!
