The Buddha once said that if you hear a teaching that conforms to the Dharma, it can be considered a teaching of the Buddha. Whether or not it literally conforms to the original Pāli, I have always found the phrase “setting aside grief and covetousness for the world” to be lovely, poetic, simple, and profound. I am not sure why Ajahn Brahm has a problem with it. He is creating conflict and controversy where none needs to exist. After listening to hundreds and perhaps thousands of his talks, I have decided not to listen to them anymore. He is too enamored of impromptu talks at the expense of giving a useful and helpful teaching. He just tells the same stories, and he takes too many liberties with the Dharma. I wonder if Ajahn Chah or the Buddha were here today, what they would think of some of the things he says.
