I enjoy is message on the mantra bud-dho. Ajahn discussed the importance on the power of the mantra may not work as the it does for folks that have had awareness of the buddha since early youth but may not represent the same emotional waves of energy for me as it does for them, thereby may have little impact for my emotional energy. Thank you Bhante
basically it esplains how to get into jhanas 1 2 3 4 . but this is vipassana jhana not samatha ( which is very imbalanced ) in vipassana jhana contact is still there will in samatha there is no more contact . Don t follow the nimittas which appears when the faculties are imbalanced or you ll go into samatha in which you re awareness becomes null
Nicole D Please talk about racism and White supremacy, it has been very harsh on Asian people lately during this Covid time, especially Asians living in Western countries. Please give them tips on how to deal with hatred and scapegoating! Thank you 🙏
He said very well: If someone calls you a dog, look on your back and see if you got a tail". Basically, the best solution is to ignore it. Stop having expectations. Life is suffering. Don't run away from it. Learn from it. Grow from it. You have racism suffering, other people have other kinds of suffering. Suffering is suffering regardless. Listen to more talks of Ajahn Brahm and apply the knowledge.
