Buddhism and Mental Illness | Ajahn Brahm
Ajahn Brahm gives a talk about mental illness. He makes a distinction between an illness of the brain and illness of the mind because whilst the mind and brain are related, the nature of illness for each has different symptoms. This becomes very clear when one develops deep states of meditation (the jhanas) and the mind becomes separated from the body (and brain). Ajahn Brahm starts the talk with an amazing story about his teacher Ajahn Chah going into deep meditation despite his body not working. Ajahn Brahm goes on to talk about the causes of mental illness (which can go back to previous lives).

Rebirth | Ajahn Brahm
Ajahn Brahm talks about how out-of-body experiences and near-death experiences, as well as experiences in deep meditation provide the proof that rebirth is real, and that it has been suppressed in Western culture for many centuries. He goes on to talk about how understanding that we live many lives is very useful including how it can help us to understand our own character formation and how deep seated desires can carry across from previous lives. It can also give us an appreciation of the workings of karma (action and result) and how it works in our lives and the lives of others.

Knowing | Ajahn Brahm
How can we know what is real and what isn’t? How can we know the best way to live? How can we know what is really true? Can we knowing anything? Buddhism says ‘yes’! And much of what Buddhism is about is guidance on how to find the truth for ourselves through direct experience. In this talk Ajahn Brahm talks about how we can know what is true for sure.

Mudita – Sympathetic Joy | Ajahn Brahm
Answering to a request for a talk from Canada on the topic of mudita – sympathetic joy. This divine emotion forms a pair with compassion. Whereas compassion feels the suffering of others and involves having our heart go out to others to sympathize with their pain, mudita involves having our heart go out to others to feel and sympathize with their happiness and joy. Ajahn Brahm explains why and how we can develop this divine emotion of sympathetic joy.

How to Stop | Ajahn Brahm
The truth is not something found in a book or passed on from someone else, but is something that is found within one’s own experience. But the deeper truth is not found in thoughts, but rather in silence. This teaching by Ajahn Brahm is about how to find one’s own way into silence and to seeing the truth directly for oneself. In short: how to stop doing things and to invest our energy into just knowing.

The Power of the Mind | Ajahn Brahm
Ajahn Brahm talks about the power of the mind and how the mind can be further empowered for the benefit and happiness of ourselves and those around us. Meditation is a way of feeding and strengthening the mind, not just in this life but for many lives.
The problem these days is that people know how to feed the body and keep it healthy, but don’t know how to feed the mind. People have material wealth but lack happiness and inner well-being. This is why it is so important that we seek to develop our minds so that we know how to overcome the inner obstacles and find inner happiness.

How To Overcome Mental Suffering | Ajahn Brahm
You can’t control your body, feelings, or thoughts. Let go and be happy. The great monk advised against wasting time on things which have no solution, because it creates mental suffering. Mental suffering is the biggest killer, caused by our attitudes and conditioned responses to the world. Buddhism teaches us ways to overcome it. Accept the world as it is and stop trying to control it. This will stop the mental suffering. Sometimes we try and control things which are beyond our control, and that just creates more pain. Mental suffering is when you try to control your life When you let go of control, you stop suffering. The more you can let go, the more you can start loving life.

Guilt | Ajahn Brahm
We are taught to forgive so that we can free ourselves from the past and move on to happier times. Guilt only makes you unhappy and makes you do bad things. Talking about forgiveness creates peace and prevents guilt. You can’t be happy if you don t think you deserve happiness. Guilt comes from judging, from treating someone as if they’re inherently bad. Guilt is a by-product of revenge, you don’t need it, and there’s a way to get rid of it. Punishment seldom works and often does more harm than good. Instead, try to acknowledge your faults and learn the ‘AFL code’ of Buddhism, which is to ‘Acknowledge’, ‘Forgive’ and ‘Learn’ from your mistakes.

Happiness | Ajahn Brahm
The key to happiness lies in contentment and letting go. The happiness that comes from being generous comes from freeing ourselves from our attachments and worries. Buddhism teaches us to let go of negative thoughts and emotions associated with death and sickness, and to be happy in the face of these occasions. Buddhism teaches that true happiness comes from understanding the Four Noble Truths and practicing the eightfold path. This can be achieved by following the basic tenets of the religion, such as detachment, acceptance, control of desires, and contemplation of the moment's beauty. When tragedies happen, we usually focus on the things that are going wrong. But when we focus on what's actually going on inside of us, we start to see that life is always changing and that it's always going to pass. This allows us to be happier and handle difficult situations better. Buddhism teaches that by slowly letting go and becoming more at peace, we can be free of our past.

Kamma and Rebirth | Ajahn Brahm
Rebirth can happen into any realm or form, including those which are considered undesirable in human society. In deep meditation you can recall memories from your past lives. This can prove rebirth is a fact. Some people’s character traits come from their past lives, which they can’t remember. The law of karma and rebirth explains how people can come from different species in rebirth, and there’s not that much difference between human beings and some of the other higher animals. In Buddhism, karma is the texture of our lives. The good karma we create in this life carries on to the next life. Karma is the result of your actions in past lives and it can be a source of suffering or happiness, depending on how you use it.

Buddhist Attitude to Death | Ajahn Brahm
The mind can leave the body, and in death, consciousness survives. There doesn’t seem to be a set amount of time it takes to rebirth, as it depends on our general attitude and certain actions that we may have taken while alive. The Buddhist attitude to death and dying is different to our Western perspective because it’s based on acceptance of what is happening, rather than grieving and feeling pain. Suicide is never the answer. We are reborn in similar lives because of attachments to things such as love, craving, or guilt.

Meditation and the Mind | Ajahn Brahm
This talk is about how meditation can give you lots of happiness and bliss. When we suffer mental pain, we can’t break through it with physical pain. However, the mental pain can be overcome through wisdom. The nature of the mind is to be happy, peaceful, wise and kind. Meditation helps to develop this mind. The development of the mind can give you so many benefits, such as peace, ease, and a lack of stress in life.

History of Buddhism | Ajahn Brahm
The Buddha taught that meditation is a way to gain Insight into the nature of our mind and to overcome our sufferings. Buddhism is a tolerant religion that has never fought a war in its name. When Buddhism spread, it created three great traditions which have a lot of similarities. Practices and customs vary significantly among Buddhist traditions, but the teachings are fundamentally the same. Buddhism developed organically and each community depended upon its own goodness.. The Buddha’s awakening came about through his experiences in a previous life and his practice of contemplation under a tree, leading him to understand the nature of the world himself. In Buddhism, enlightenment is happiness, and the only way to achieve it is to practice meditation and live a simple life dedicated to the true realization of truth. The history of Buddhism starts 2600 years ago with the birth of the person who became our present Buddha. Buddhism is based upon teachings such as reincarnation and the l…

It can be an impersonal emotion. You can be at peace with life by practicing compassion and kindness. Saying there’s something wrong with me, being sick, makes you feel worse. But when you have compassion for why and what sickness is, it becomes less of a problem.

Fear | Ajahn Brahm
Fear can create sickness and death. Fear creates a narrow state of awareness and can create the world you think exists. Focusing on the bad bricks in the wall instead of the good bricks can lead to irrational thoughts and behaviors. Our minds can create sickness, death, and fear. Fear can be dangerous. To overcome fear, we need to focus on the good, the positive, and the rational. When you’re afraid, that’s what happens. The same technique to children who are doing exams is to look at it as a game. When you put fun and happiness into what you’re doing, it brings up energy, which helps you do well. Fear exaggerates reality, cramps our mind, and makes us achieve what we’re afraid of. So the first step in overcoming fear is recognising that fearful thoughts is all that is happening. And the second step is knowing how to breathe and relax so that fear doesn’t have the control. So that we can be free from fear.
How to be free from fear begins with paying attention.When we pay att…

Grief | Ajahn Brahm
When things go wrong in life, it’s a chance to show the beauty of the heart. Take the time to cherish life and to learn from the experiences that we have in life. Grief is a feeling of sadness or regret in response to something bad that’s happened. As Buddhists we can challenge all the conditioned responses we have to events in our life, and see them as positive opportunities for growth. Things can go wrong at any time, and in order to cope with such a situation, it’s important to allow ourselves to be human and to think positively. Grief is part of life. It’s not just something you experience when somebody we love dies. It can be a lack of hope, a loss of dreams. It can be a feeling of being a victim.

The Way of Meditation | Ajahn Brahm
In silence, you find inner peace and wisdom. Meditation is a central part of Buddhist teachings, teaching people to find out truths for themselves and to find ways to cope with the challenges of life. Meditation is about having insight into the big picture, about understanding and realizing the truths of life for yourself. When you become one pointed in time and focus in on the silence, you have all the time in the world because you’re free from measuring time in a point you can’t measure. Too much happiness in life is based on things which are unreliable and could change at any time, so it’s not really happiness. True happiness comes from within – unconditional happiness. Delusion is thinking things we take to be real are actually not real. When we meditate we often go into the center of things to find the origin of things. In meditation, you will get deep bliss, and the ebbs and flows of that bliss will allow you to explore your mind deeply. You may get memories of past lives…

Loving Kindness Meditation | Ajahn Brahm
Measurement is how we get into control and lose our perception of love. Buddhism teaches us to stop measuring so we can love. Judging and measuring creates control and ill will, which keeps us from experiencing love. Don’t measure others; stop trying to control them. Learn how to be at peace with yourself and with life. The opposite of love is hatred and control. Lovingkindness transcends good and bad, right and wrong, to embrace and let go. When we’re at peace with life, we’re at peace with the world. Then we can forgive and accept things as they are. Buddhism teaches that there is no such thing as evil, only stupidity. This is a different way of looking at the world which requires a paradigm shift in our thinking. Lovingkindness is a difficult emotion to understand because it is different than the idea of justice, which is just right and wrong. It is more about forgiving and looking at things from a larger perspective. Lovingkindness is a shift in the way we look at life and it…

Help | Ajahn Brahm
Buddhism can offer help in coping with the challenges of life, including illness and death. Sometimes we can help other people with our wisdom, with our Dharma. Sometimes in helping others, we take away their power and independence, which isn’t always in their best interest. It’s important to remember that when one helps others, they need to be act out of wisdom, out of love, and not out of fear. This talk is on principles of giving help, looking after, and serving other people, and it is part of being wise in our compassion. You can compassionately serve others in the world by giving them the means to be at peace. Sensitivity to the needs of the other person is a difficult quality to develop, but it is essential for creating a sense of community.

The Mundane and the Supramundane | Ajahn Brahm
Buddhism teaches us to solve world problems through our wisdom and compassion. Hatred doesn’t lead to peace, violence doesn’t lead to peace. This talk is about the mundane and the super mundane, the world and what lies beyond. It explores what real freedom is and what the fake freedom is. Meditation helps us to feel life more deeply, to understand it instead of describing it in words. Books, discussions, and descriptions of life only serve to make us spiritually hungry. In the practice of meditation, quietness leads to the discovery of the supramundane. When you let go of the past and future and enter the present moment, the cosmos also stands still and you can feel deep ecstasies. The Buddha talked about bliss, the citta, and the supramundane. He said that when you go into deep meditation, you go to a world beyond sight, beyond sound, beyond smell, beyond taste, and beyond physical touch. This is the stairway which leads you out of the mundane and into the super mundane. Once you…

Arguments | Ajahn Brahm
Judging other people can get you into a cycle of depression and negativity. Insisting on rightness is delusional and can lead to violence. We can learn to cooperate in our family, workplace, or in our relationships instead of always competing or trying to be right. Don’t get stressed about arguments. Just investigate that stress and see if it’s stemming from some depersonalization or dissatisfaction with our mind states. Arguments can be painful and can have consequences, usually bad, but understanding the anatomy of arguments can help lessen them. We always see the world the way we want to see it, based on our views. When we have a strong opinion, it’s difficult to see things objectively. In the story, two monks argued about whether reincarnation is essential to Buddhism. One argued that it is, while the other said it can’t be because the present moment is all there is. When they both argued their position to the master, they both realized that their arguments depended on thei…

Good and Evil in the World | Ajahn Brahm
Buddhism says that sometimes people die young because of their karma, sometimes people become millionaires because of their karma, and sometimes people get sick because of their karma. This talk is about good and evil cloning and how to solve the world’s problems. Karma is the cause and effect of your actions, so don’t blame others for the situation you’re in. You can do something about it right now. There is no one answer to the question of who is the happiest person in the world. Everyone’s happiness is unique and depends on their own individual circumstances. However, some general things that may contribute to happiness include having good relationships with others, having meaningful work, and having a sense of purpose in life. Sometimes we look at the inequalities in the world and perceive them as being unfair. But is it really unjust after all? Instead, we can see that these things are just a result of karma from the past, and that we have a lot of opportunities to grow an…

Buddha Nature | Ajahn Brahm
Jokes can be a way to heal and learn from traumatic experiences. Old age, sickness, and death can teach us valuable lessons in life, and they can be viewed as Buddha nature. Peace and goodwill towards all beings is a central message of Christianity. People come to teachers for guidance, not to be lectured to. Stay true to your beliefs and help those in need, no matter what their beliefs. The Buddha said that the things we experience in our life, such as being praised or blamed, have Buddha nature. We can see that these experiences have no personal meaning, and are just part of our journey towards awakening. Sickness, disease, aging, death, are all teachers which help us learn about non-self.

Teachers From Hell | Ajahn Brahm
The Buddha’s teachings can help you change your attitude and stop suffering. When encountering a problem in life, focus on learning from it, not exterminating the problem. Check your expectations and take on board that everything is a teaching opportunity. Sometimes people try to abuse you in order to upset you, but don’t let them succeed. Just be peaceful and aware of what is happening and you’ll be fine. The Buddha’s teachings on how to deal with pain, discomfort, and difficulties in life remain relevant to today’s world. When confronted with difficulties, remember to do nothing and focus on your mental state.

Mindfulness | Ajahn Brahm
Mindfulness is having a guard on your mind and remembering what you are supposed to be doing. To be mindful, instruct your gatekeeper what to do in order to keep negativity out of your mind. Mindfulness can help you stop being angry, because you become more alert to what’s happening inside. Mindfulness is the ability to know and be aware. It’s developed through different degrees of efforts and attentiveness. It allows for more connectivity with the physical body and the environment. Four main focuses of mindfulness are The Body, The Feelings, The Mind, and The Consciousness. Mindfulness can help reveal hidden stresses and health problems that may have been ignored. Mindfulness helps you focus on the present moment, which allows you to experience energies and insights you wouldn’t otherwise be able to see. Focusing mindfulness can lead to enlightenment.

Origins | Ajahn Brahm
To find out the origins of your consciousness of mind, you can test it out and find out where you come from. The mind is the biggest thing in the world because it can see everything and everything can fit in the mind. An origins talk is beneficial for many reasons, including that it reminds us of the importance of the mind. Mind is comprised of delusion, craving and ignorance. The way we understand and experience the world is based on these three factors. The Buddha said that life is a process in action and that one can’t say there is absolutely nothing because the process of arising is seen.

Enlightenment is the Highest Happiness | Ajahn Brahm
Happiness means being good, and the benefits of being good are immense. Allow other people to be kind to you and it will make you happy. Happiness comes when we give without expecting anything in return, and it’s one of the first ways to develop in our lives. Happiness is found by letting go and learning how to meditate. Enlightenment is the ultimate happiness. Sleep well at night by remembering the good things you’ve done, rather than the bad. Keep the precepts of not hurting others and yourself. When we reach out for happiness, we usually end up getting disappointment, frustration, despair, and grief. Enlightenment is the highest form of happiness, and it’s achievable even if you’re not wealthy. You don’t have to wait until you retire to be happy. Just don’t do anything and you’ll get into deep meditation and eventually realize some of the teachings of Buddha. This is why meditation is not only the easiest thing to do, but the most fun thing to do.

Freedom | Ajahn Brahm
Keeping precepts gives you freedom from worry, anxiety and other negative qualities. In meditation, the more you try and control, the worse the meditation gets. The deeper you go in meditation, the more still and silent it becomes, until you find freedom from desires. Keep moral precepts in your life to feel freedom. Freedom is being where you want to be, not where someone else wants you to be.If you’re not happy in your life, it’s probably because you’re following the wrong path. When you’re sick, you’re given the advantage or the opportunity to other people to care for you. That’s why it’s nice to be sick sometimes. So that if you want to be sick, then you’re not imprisoned by your ill health. It doesn’t feel confining to you. It’s not a huge problem anymore. You can be sick and still feel free. When you have that feeling of freedom there with your sickness, you don’t mind it being there.

Six Months of Bliss | Ajahn Brahm

Mindfulness of the Body | Ajahn Brahm
Boredom can be overcome with practice in understanding bodily sensations. People are always looking for things to do because they don’t know how to do nothing, but peace is more important than anything. The practice of mindfulness is focused on the body in order to free the mind, develop wisdom, and create peace in life. Focus on the body to overcome anger and frustration. The talk was on mindfulness of the body and the harm that negative emotions do to the body. In Buddhism, forgiveness is a very important response to any conflict. It stops revenge and helps to repair the damage that has been done. You can’t keep anger going because the feelings associated with anger are unpleasant and you can’t stay focused on those feelings for very long without noticing how harmful they are to your physical health. When we focus on the body, we come to a truth which we cannot deny. The best of these emotions, such as peace, can start to get us to value our present moment more, and to live in…

The Trickery of Perception | Ajahn Brahm
When you change your perception, you can find the end of all suffering inside yourself. The perception we have of ourselves and others often limits us and leads to suffering. Perceptions matter, and they can be limiting. Whenever you get a project to do, just do it. Don’t think about it. Whenever it’s time to meditate, just meditate. Don’t think about it. Whatever you happen to do in life, when it’s time to die, do it. Stop thinking about it. Meditation is a practice of transforming our pathological perceptions of the world. When we understand this, we can create new, healthier perceptions which will free us from suffering.

Mindfulness | Ajahn Brahm
Buddhism’s practice of mindfulness can help us in our daily lives, our spiritual lives, and our relationships. Buddhism teaches that it’s important to be mindful in our daily lives and in our spiritual lives. Being mindful can help to increase our happiness and understanding. Mindfulness can help you be more alert and less reactive to things, which can help you feel happier and more productive. When you increase your mindfulness, you become more sensitive to the beauty and vibrancy of life. Make good karma, and you’ll get good results. Doing good for others will brighten your mind and energize your practice. Mindfulness gives you better abilities in life, for everything.

Buddhism and Science | Ajahn Brahm
Buddhism and science can be balanced and used for good in our lives. Dogmatism leads to suffering, especially when it prevents you from seeing reality. Buddhism and science are complementary and interdependent, and are growing in popularity due to their combined successes in solving problems. Buddhism teaches that one must check experience against theories in order to determine whether something is true or not. It also teaches that there is no “self” or soul, and that the mind is responsible for our happiness and suffering.

Humility | Ajahn Brahm
Sometimes pain and suffering are an opportunity for us to grow and learn. When you criticize yourself, you inhibit your ability to succeed. Praise uplifts people and has a positive effect on relationships. The power of precepts lie in the fact that when we are guided by them, the mind moves in the direction of truth and calmness. Charles Martin spoke on the topic of humility and how it can be attained. He discussed the importance of virtuous conduct and how samatha (tranquility) can also be a contributing factor.

Buddhist Approach to World Conflict | Ajahn Brahm
Conflicts come from a sense of injustice and injustice comes from a sense of karma. Start learning to accept life as it is and not what we want it to be. The law of karma tells us that we always get what we deserve, which often results in feelings of injustice. When we take control of our destiny, these feelings of injustice dissipate. There is karmic rebound in the form of regret and guilt, which can lead to even more disharmony and anger. We learn from our mistakes and try not to punish ourselves. Focusing on the faults of others can lead to conflict, but focusing on our own faults can also lead to conflict. We should try to focus on the good in others and ourselves to create a more peaceful world.

What is love? | Ajahn Brahm
The first type of love we hear all about in our culture is romantic love, which involves an infatuation with one person. The second type of love is a detached love which is greater because it allows you to be at peace with separation, with death and with all the bad things that life can bring. In the loving-kindness meditation, you open the door to the present moment, to silence, and to the emptiness that allows you to connect with everything. It’s a love which is happy to let the other person go. Buddhist love is a type of love that relieves people from suffering. It is a type of love that is selfless and detached. It is a type of love that grows over time. What is love at a Buddhist Perspective? Love is often misunderstood and mistrusted. It can be a very dangerous thing when it’s based on ownership or attachment. In Buddhism, love is based on the simple principle of wanting someone to be happy. And the third type of love is the power of emptiness, the power of nothing. This is w…

Rebirth | Ajahn Brahm
Rebirth is a very useful way to review our life, to reflect on our relationships, and to gain perspective on what is important. This talk is about how deep, beautiful meditation can reveal the truth of things, and also how deep, beautiful meditation can be fun. Rebirth is a reality which can be found out for yourself through the practice of meditation. Ordinary memory is unreliable, real memory through meditation is true. Regarding rebirth, we gain a solid ground for being good and responsible, and take long term perspective on the trials and tribulations of one life in comparison to the trials and tribulations of one year in school or one year in the office.

Renunciation | Ajahn Brahm
When we let go of things, we find freedom and happiness. Renouncing simplifies life and makes more time for things that are important. Renouncing things brings joy, understanding, and freedom. In order to live a simple life and achieve enlightenment, Buddhist traditions emphasize the need for renunciation. Meditation is a practice that can help you deal with your emotions, renounce your attachments to your body, and experience peace and freedom before death. Becoming a monk or nun freed you from your desires, allows you to connect with people more easily, and give you a sense of inner peace and strength.

What to do with suffering? | Ajahn Brahm
Happiness is the gap between two moments of suffering. Suffering is the gap between two moments of happiness. How do you deal with suffering in life? Accept it and learn from it. Suffering is part of life, but it’s also an opportunity to learn and grow. When someone says something we don’t like, don’t carry it around being crazy. Let go. Suffering happens. It’s in the world, but it will pass. Sit down and have a cup of tea to keep your energies ready for when things change.

Why is Buddhism Growing? | Ajahn Brahm
Meditation is a way to let go of things that are keeping you from getting to know yourself better, like your emotions and your thoughts. Meditation makes you happy because it leads to wisdom and peace. This is why Buddhism is spreading in the world: because it is a truth that resonates with people on many levels. Buddhism is a way to free yourself from the suffering of this world. It’s a path to liberation. Buddhism is growing due to its teaching that comes from people’s experiences, rather than scriptures or theories. Buddhism is growing in the world because it offers a happiness which surpasses this world. It’s these beautiful things, the ending of things, the ending of suffering, the ending of problems, the freedom in the heart, the freedom in the mind, the bliss and the joy which make it so popular.

Conflict Resolution | Ajahn Brahm
Conflict can arises from memory being uncertain. Arguments can break up relationships, friendships and cause suffering. When we argue, we often forget that what’s important is living in harmony together. Chicken or duck? What’s important is the friendship and harmony and love and care and the working together. Arguments can be helpful to have in our lives in order to understand each other better, but when they turn into fights, they’re not constructive. Spiritual practice means pointing out that it’s more important to focus on loving kindness and peace.

Meditation teaches you how to be still and to get more energy. Contentment is knowing that you’ve done all that you need to do and that you can now rest. Contentment is the highest wealth, and learning to be content every now and again is a way to reach peace in your life. When you get close to a beautiful breath, you can actually do nothing to it. It becomes effortless. You can relax and allow the beautiful breath to happen. If you’re trying hard to meditate, you’re not doing it right. All you need to do is be content, and the breath will come all by itself.

Who Am I? | Ajahn Brahm
The five aggregates is a Buddhist teaching on the nature of mind which points out that there is nothing substantial to consciousness or our self-view. Understanding this is key to freedom. In this talk, I’m going to talk about the five aggregates: body, mind, feeling, perception, and mental formations. When you realize that you are not your body, things start to get simple. As far as worrying about your appearance, old age, sickness, and death, these things don’t matter because you know you are not this body. You’re just a mind. The six senses are beauty and ugliness, pleasure and pain, praise and blame, nice sounds and rotten sounds, and mind happiness and mind suffering. These are all inseparable, and you cannot have just one without the other.

The Four Noble Truths | Ajahn Brahm
Life can be full of pain and sadness, but understanding the cause of these things can help you to cope better. The Four Noble Truths teach us about the causes of suffering, the way to end it, and how to get out of it. If you want to achieve enlightenment, follow the path of the Noble Eightfold Path. Suffering is a result of misunderstanding life, expecting things in life to be different than they are. When something difficult happens in life, we may feel lost, helpless, and unsuccessful. However, by understanding and experiencing life, we can learn to reality and accept it. The third noble truth is that we can be content and blissful in meditation and therein find the end of suffering. The path to the end of suffering is being a good person and understanding impermanence.

The Four Efforts | Ajahn Brahm
Right effort leads to happiness, harmony, peace, and eventually enlightenment. I think we can all respect Buddha, who has helped many people through his teachings. Meditation allows us to see that some of our inner unholy qualities are not conducive to our happiness. We have to work on abolishing them with the help of will and energy. Much of our intelligence can be put to better use if we use it to wisely overcome our difficulties in life. Saying no to temptation is a very important skill to master.
Mindfulness is about seeing what is happening in the present moment and choosing whether or not to do something based on that. It’s about having control over your behavior and being able to do things mindfully, without being a creature of habit. The first things we have to do in order to try and achieve peace, happiness, and enlightenment, is to know the difference between what is a good and wholesome state, and what is an unwholesome state. We then have to put forth effort and energy t…

The Dhamma of Impermanence | Ajahn Brahm
Understanding impermanence will lessen our suffering in this life. Teaching on the three characteristics of impermanence, suffering, and the lack of a soul inside the elements can enlighten us and help us overcome any problems in our lives. Impermanence is an important part of the Buddhist teachings on peace. It teaches us that everything in life changes, and that we should accept these changes with peace. Impermanence is a reality which affects everything. Understanding this can help us to approach life with a more peaceful, accepting attitude. Impermanence is a law of nature. Accepting impermanence can help one learn how to live a peaceful life. It is also important to accept impermanence in the inside world, where many people can struggle with it. The thoughts that occupy our minds are always in flux and cannot be relied on, whether good or bad. Engaging with them in a non-judgmental way allows us to learn to flow with them. When we cling to our thoughts and ideas, we suffer.…

The Five Aggregates of Being – by Ajahn Brahm
The five aggregates (khandas) are empty, and so is a self or being. There is no self, nothing to cling to, and there is freedom is knowing this. Impermanence, emptiness, is the basis for Buddhist understanding. Perception is the process of organizing and understanding experiences. It’s based on past experience, and it’s constantly changing. Our perceptions are arbitrary and can change based on what we experience. However, our goals, aspirations, and views can also be based on our perceptions. When we understand consciousness to mean that the mind is active, everything in the world has to have the five characteristics of change.

How to see the beauty of concrete – by Ajahn Brahm
Take time for yourself, relax and gain insights from nature. Calm and insight lead to great power and clarity in the mind. Meditation clears the mind and makes it powerful, which allows us to understand questions and difficulties in our life more clearly. Buddhism is a practical philosophy which offers answers to big questions about existence and happiness, and teaches methods for achieving these things. In order to develop understanding, we need calm. Without insight, we have no understanding about concrete, about pink roof batts, or about life. We need to stop and look at things with care. This is the practice of meditation.
In this dhamma talk Ajahn Brahm shares his personal story about how deep, peaceful meditation caused him to naturally see the beauty in a plain piece of concrete.

Concentrating the Mind – by Ajahn Brahm
Criticism and anger need to be balanced with acceptance and love. Fault finding mentality is a habitual mind mode that’s usually focused on finding mistakes. It’s not wise because it can become an obstacle to developing our mind in meditation. When we try to be positive and build up a sense of appreciation, it’s easier to receive other people’s love and happiness. When we’re in a state of complaining, we lose all sense of peace, of calm, in this is life. When you speak, always use words that find solutions and balance.When you use words of appreciation, your internal emotional world changes and the harmony between people improves. Anger is like an anger eating demon. If you let it eat away at you, it will get worse. Instead, practice acceptance, which will lead to loving kindness and eventually, peace.
