I was in a fighting mood before i watched this, again and again the thought of smashing skulls into the ground came back to me and I relished it. Now I have let go of that rage entirely, and feel lighter, freer, happier.

This is one of the most powerful lectures I've heard in a long time

NAILED IT!

Thank you and technology!

the life of Ajahan Thero reflects his buddhist teachings. calm peacefull and filled with eternal happiness. may Dhamma (Teachings of Bhuddha) bless him

This is one the sixth video of Ajahn Brahm I am watching in last 2 days. They are so profound. Thanks for uploading them.

i love this mans talks, ive been listening to them on and off since i was 16, and it truely calming to watch and listen to this gentle mans teachings :)

I also; AMEN SHANTI PEACE SHALOM ALOHA NAMASTE..peace inside to manifest it outside..beautiful accessible talk about our real lives! THANK YOU! ..

You know, i literally saw this video on my suggested videos feed and immediatelt felt calm.

I'd love to hear how Ajahn Brahm finished this talk and tied the whole thing together with what he was saying at the end about prisoners having been abused themselves as children. What an amazing talk this was! Thank you so much for posting!

Thanks Ajahn. :)

I always believed that there should be courses in school of meditation and peace, for the child to how to act and how to control the mind and find the self. We would be creating valueble members of a community. Everything is connected, if the individual isn't happy the family isn't happy if the family isn't happy the society isn't happy and thus the world becomes in balanced out of indiviual unhappyness. We must learn this practice of peace and happyness.

This talk is monumental and brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you so much for this talk it realy helps me .I have BPD.DISORDER. your talks help me understand why i feel what i feel and how to get out of my pain . Thank you. A.J..😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks for this inspiring talk, watched it a couple of times now. I think the governments around the world that apply the death penalty should watch this and think again.

Probably my favorite talk by Ajahn Brahm! Thank you so much for this.

love this one. so right on. great way to get rid of emotions and be happier. thank you ajahn brahm

♥♥♥

an inspiration to my daily life. :)

I think there is a lot of wisdom in this talk. I am skeptical about some of the metaphysical doctrines of Buddhism that Ajahn Brahm teaches, but otherwise think he is insightful and compassionate and the world would be a better place if more people adopted his attitudes

An “eye for an eye” syndrome. Revenge! Why is it so hard to free ourselves from this act.

The two killings AB is referring to was the killing of Silje Raedergard on 15th October 1994 ... and the February 12, 1993 abduction of James Bulgar from outside a butcher's shop.

They are talking about Matthieu Ricard. I want to see Ajahn Brahm and Mattieu Ricard giving a talk together that would be nice :-)

Thank you

I'm guessing there was a technical glitch with the video? :-( If it's available, I'd love to hear the end of the talk! Thank you!

what happened at the end? was cut off :(

What happens at 61.00?

4 people think that it's so enjoyable to be sad.

Compassion and understanding seem to be lacking seem to be lacking in this guy. Lacking for the Western lack of knowledge that we have. I think a real master like the Dalai Lama would have a softer and kinder approach.
