- Ajahn Brahmali reflects on the idea of Right View (Samma-ditthi); the first factor of the Noble Eightfold Path. Ajahn looks at how Right View is a very powerful foundation and drive for our whole Buddhist practise. Ajahn talks about how to develop Right View and also enhance our confidence in the Buddha and our teachers.

"Meditation is founded on virtue, character and right view". Going back to the very basics.
Much Respect and Gratitude Bhanthe 🙏🙏🙏
I love the way Ajahn tells us about seeing the Buddha in the suttas and the story of how the Buddha tended to the sick monk and “admonished” the monks who didn’t care for him. And how the Buddha was not aloof but opened himself to admonishment too! 🙏🙏🙏
Tenzin Palmo, a British -born Tibetan nun lived in 6x10' feet Himalayan cave for 12 years (1976-88); last three years was in complete isolation. She is an avid advocate of nuns and current President of Sakyadhita International. The documentary 'Cave in the snow' is available on TH-cam.Thank you Ajahn. I see right view as the gradual development of wholesome view of reality, which requires cultivation of wholesome mental states and meditative concentration to enter the stream of Dhamma.

いい勉強事だ。そして夜になるといい睡眠薬だ。ほんまにありがとう
Granted I'm only 20 minutes in, but I'm really hoping to get some advice on developing Right View beyond "go live in the forest" which I can't do. I doubt that's an option for many people.
Question at the end, where you reply "you have to be happy for meditation to really take off"
The past year i have really focused on my meditations and becoming better, but I've not focused on happiness at all, merely understanding.
I like how I've been changing, but whether I'm happy or not hasn't been a variable for me.
Good
Nice talk, but what does it have to do with Right View? I don’t understand. 🙏🏼
SADHU SADHU!

i don't understand why this is titled,"Right view and how to develop it."
I am trying to find the way to the noble 8 fold path...
Right view is the first part of the 8 fold path
That monk in Sri Lanka he talked about...I wonder if he's referring to the western monk Ajahn Jinavamso. Anybody know who he's referring to? Fascinating:)
Question, this man touched on a point about the Buddha praising th man who meditated in the forest away from society as he could concentrate more. I understand this point I heard somewhere else that meditating in silence or alone can give you a false reality so to speak as when u Exeter society again you can't apply what u have learnt. Can someone explain pls
That is a good point. Training in society not to become attached by anything is also hard to practise. Maybe too hard as long as you are not yet a streamenterer (Sotapanna). So the forest is better place to train to become totally unattachted, because there we learn what it really is what brought us into existense; ignorence, craving and aversion. The Buddha said: "If a person wants to dispel his ignorance so that clear understanding will arise, he should see all things as unworthy of attachement. If he really understand this, he will know and comprehend everything (Avijja Sutta)." Alone in the forest with the dhamma, the sutta's at hand as his teacher as his refuge, is as if one can be in direct contact with the greatest teacher ever, the Buddha who is awake.
My auntie saw a ghost a few years ago, which would suggest that heaven and hell exist.
Yet Ajahn Friend remembers his past life.
I am confused.
neither are being honest - or are capable of being honest with themselves

He has an accent. He must be from jersey. :0
Only if that "jersey" is in Norway!
Steve Kessell :D
Looking for a correct translation of 'Samma' than 'Right'.....as Samma is about developing wholesome equanimous field of pure mind ...not dualistic reductionist extreme civilized mind.
Sorry, baba. "Whole" still implies things can be broken. "Pure" still implies that things can be impure. If you can find an adjective that describes right without implying that there is a wrong, let us all know. I'm pretty sure that if the Buddha himself is capable of saying I disagree with this person, but I agree with this person, I think it's a okay concept for us normal people.
brainwashing!

I reincarnated or born again Napoleon or Cleopatra as the Dalai Lama!
Religion is hilarious
***** you're right, I wrote it wrong.
But Theory of Rebirth is nonsense as every religious dogma.
Or are you rebirth Napoleon?
Religion, contradictory.
For example, Buddhist cosmology speaks of Hell realm: hell beings endure unimaginable suffering for eons of time. There are actually eighteen different types of hells, each inflicting a different kind of torment. In the hot hells, beings suffer from unbearable heat and continual Torments of various kinds. In the cold hells, beings suffer from unbearable cold and other Torments.
peter košut You understand very little about the notion of cause and effect, and its effects on the subtle planes! in the west there is little understanding of the total material manifestation, just like there is cause and effect in physics, there is on metaphysical level.. Your actions are your karma. YOU are eternal, and you will always have to take another body..as long as you stay in material conception.
