Gratidão 🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🌈🌈🌈👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻

right now is the only place we find peace.

Thank you bring me more

ajahn brahm is a great teacher!  

thank you for offering these videos per youtube for people outside Australia.

i met him 2003 while i was traveling western australia. i discovered, just one day before the rains retreat started, the small sign "buddhist monastery" next to the road (traveling south) ... and just followed the road up the hill and then to the monastery. i arrived .... not one human being was there. i parked my car and walked around a bit ... i believe it was in the afternoon ... just short before i was ready to leave, a small asian lady appeared and invited me to the big party which should happen the next day, right before the rains retreat. i decided to come back the next day.... and so all started. i met some amazing people, and when i returned from my trip south, i returned to visit serpentine as well as the nuns monastery, where sister ajahn vayama was head nun at the time. she is a great teacher as well. ajahn brahm was perfectly right to chose her to set up the nuns monastery in western australia. i was very sad when i heard that she had become sick.
love to all the monks and nuns of both monasteries. some of them maybe remember me.
at the time i lived in Germany, today i live in the USA.

i always considered Australia my soul-country! ;) Kristina

POV: it's in your recommendation.

Another great talk. These retreat talks are numbered which is very helpful.

If you want a peaceful mind or want it to remain  peaceful do not read youtube comments.

Thank you Ajahn Brahm

I wish i was discovering this like 14 years ago when the world was younger

Sadhu Sadhu SADHUUUUUUUUUU ❤️

Thabk you Ajahn

🙏🙏🙏

Great video, very helpful, thank you. 🕉

Thank you for sharing your retreat uploads with us

the idea is to be fully in the moment.
as soon as you set your self any goal in mind, you are programming yourself to some future goal that has to be achieved. naturally that contradicts with " beeing in the Moment ". simply watch your breath ! dont hold on to any thoughts that come, the vansih by themselfs, and other thoughts come. within your first meditation sessions you will be able to observe how, after some time, the "pace" of your thoughts slow down. keep on practising this, include some Metta meditation after some time.
If you keep practising the first Nimmitas ( funy lights you see in your mind ) show up, untill you arrive to the first Jhana.
Some people just need 3 Days, other take month,..accept that as part of your Karma.
and just keep practising,....
if you follow that path every thing else will fall in place
best

Thanks!! I wish you get more and more energi to coninue your great work.

Wonderful. Thank you. :)

while other religion focuses on getting sth, getting salvation, getting heaven of lust, getting merits, getting this getting that. Buddhism focuses on detaching, until liberated completely. And thats the true path of peace.
