Don't Be Disappointed | Ajahn Brahm | 29-01-2010 

I am a born Catholic, but I always liked the teachings of Buddhism. I started listening to Rev: Ajahn Brahm,s talks and they are simple and inspiring. I like his style of preaching too. I wish him good health and long life to spread Buddhism in the materialistic world.

Don't Be Disappointed, "Every problem has a solution and when there is no solution then it's no longer a problem" " let it go" "be mindful" Thank you for this teaching Ajahn Brahm

every single day I listen to his talk and every day I feel better and better about myself and my life. Thank you!

with due respect he surely is a great comedian. appreciate his sense of humor. huge respects !!!!

I just found your talks. I cannot stop listening to them! Such wisdom and peace. Thank you for this gift 🤗

This is perhaps the talk that most needs to be heard by so many in our materialistic world. Thank you Ajahn Brahm. Thank you.!!!

"Don't define anybody by their past." 😌👌 Simple but profound. Thank you Ajahn Brahm and BSWA!!!❤🙏🙏🙏

I just want to curl up in his arms and feel his warm love.

M Buddhist and I have learn Buddhism from this great person. You have changed my perception from how I look into the world. Thank you for your greatest teach.

As the COVID debacle gets worse and worse for many, your talks which are now the most important part of each day manage to give me some reason to keep going. You are so very wonderful.

Just started exploring Buddism. I can't figure out why this stuff is so powerful? But it's power to heal the mind is undeniable.

I always play Ajahn's videos in the background while crunching numbers at the office..makes my day, everytime

I really would like to visit Perth, meet Ajahn Brahm as well as the monastic and Buddhist community there. What a wonderful message to hear at the end of 2019 and to go forward into 2020 with. 💖🙏

May all beings at ease. Well said, disappointment is stupidity- all we can do is to care for this moment and let go of the past.

Very powerful and exactly what i needed now. 🙏🙏🙏

This is very powerful and inspiring. I was crying before I started watching this, however I feel optimistic and joyful now, thank you!

Ajahn Brahm you are my new master,... I give my respect to you...!

Ajahn Brahm's teaching makes me laugh even in a moment of deepest despair and depression...and I had to agree with everything he says. It's amazing how his jokes bring so much joy and healing power...and make me understand a bit more about how ignorant and illusional I am, just as any other human...

The talk comes head of time. So Brilliant my Great Teacher! Now Corona Virus teaches us how to swim to put our head over the water!

I'm not disappointed by this talk!!! Each talk is a treasure to me.

Still listen in 2022. Never gets old

This was exactly what I needed to hear to be able to get through my current life problems, thank you so much :D

No plans, thanks Ajahn Brahm for the reinforcement. I was just thinking today, before I watched this, not to have plans anymore because none of them worked.

I love listening to him... you can't let anybody down cause u were never holding them up. woooow. I am so favored and happy to be a buddhist! :D

I read the title "Don't Be Disappointed by Ajahn Brahm" and I thought; who could be disappointed by such a venerable Dharma Master?

Ajahn Brahm's little giggle when he says something naughty just tickles me!! Much love to you Ajahn!!

Love Ajahn Brahmn. Love his stories correlations and explanations.

Amazing, he makes so much sense. His thoughts on death in this talk are ground breaking

i come here to thank you with my hearth and soul ,this video changed how i see life i can now clearly understend it's meaning i really wished i could spend a day with this guy so he can pass me some of his wisdom and that i can thank him for literally saving me because i had too many expectations and no hope a life that i hated and now love, before seeing this video i wouldn't care if i would die the next day or in the same hour but now i do care but i know it can happen and if it does i'll die happy because i acept my past and i enjoied my life even though i'm still so young.

Dear Ajahn Brahm you are my anti depression pill!! Sadu sadu sadu!!!

The point of life is not to cure (change) but to care :)

Thank you Ajahn Brahm -- this is exactly what I needed to hear today.

Thanks, your talk ,always helps me out...

I'm an Ajahn Brahm addict XD

I like this reply. This guy has such a great attitude to life.

As beautiful as always, mind changing talk, just in time when I needed to hear this the most. Thankyou Thankyou Ajahn!

when i listen to Ajan Brahm, i feel like this is how Jesus taught

Honesty and humility and acceptance--not just for life, but for our own weaknesses. Thank you for talking about disappointment and how life may not turn out the way we hope, and about how to throw out plans and interact with life instead of trying to control it. Good lessons to listen to again and again.

I love how you make a silly joke and then laugh at yourself. I do the same thing.

May all beings be at ease 🙏🙏🙏 Another great talk

I laughed when he said about "Swimming" and just realized how foolish i was to be angry to the storm or the calm water. Instead i should learn how to swim.. Thankyou bhante.. may all being in peace.

Thank you, Ajahn Brahm! ❤

I needed this talk. This puts the focus on the right thing. I have a tendency to go into fear and victim mode over my expectations ND it has been a negative force in my life its just like you said: it ruins happiness and saps energy. Well no more. The past few months I've had a bit of a attitude adjustment and this talk is useful to my mindset. Thank you for sharing this wonderful wisdom

Millions thanks again Ajahn Brahm for your dharma teaching

this should be thought in school! (public)

So grateful to find this Dharma talk .It really opens up my mind and my heart .What a beautiful talk.Much gratitude ❤️🙏🙏

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2846">47:26</a> "whatever your plan is, it won't work, it won't turn out as you wanted" I'm gonna try to remember this every time I'm defeated by the crippling regret of what I should've done and what would've been if I had.

I am hooked on your talks...thank you so much.

I love you! Im a person whos lucky enough to have a real second chance in life,you have taught me so much about how to be happier.i watched a talk you gave that said make your own fun.

thank you for helping us see our way through.

You are so funny Ajahn Brahm, you are making positive changes in my mind

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="930">15:30</a> "don't have goal, don't have the goal to be best speaker , that's not the point, wrong mindset"

This is just beautiful and deep!!!!

I lived much of my adult life without a plan (also without a spiritual life which might make a difference), my life improved a lot once I had some kind of plan, I was able to progress at work and get a better salary, and this gave me a bit of mental/emotional space to explore spirituality... I think some kind of plan can be really helpful in navigating this life, so long as it's not a concrete or adaptable plan.

I love you Ajahn Brahm!!!!

thank you Ajahn Brahm for the words of wisdom...... Jimmy hendriks:)

Of course he's contributed to the wealth of the country. He brings contentment and a means to help deal with life's difficulties, making people healthier. Healthy people are better able to take care of themselves and are more productive at work. He can always argue that he's improving workplace productivity in the country. ;)

thank you for this talk! i was glued to every moment of it. i also really need to reflect on disapointment and being compassionate in the moment. this you stated very uniquely and well, i would not have walked out on your talk either! also the concept NO SELF is for the moment clear to me :)

I needed watch this sooner, Ajehn Brahm has gotten me thru some crapy times in my life.

I kept my first step for medditation because of ven Ajan Brahm

the most beautiful story that i have ever heard in my life is story about sailor ...

Right class on expectation..none other than Buddhist monk can clarify about disappointment ...Budha is right monk to be followed to know the reality of life and dessires...lots of respect from Chennai 🙏

It's was amazing. Thanks Aja Ajahn Brahm😍😍😍😍

I worry that I have become attached to these talks.

Focus on the present until encountering someone's death, than only concern yourself with their past.

Great talk. I really can learn things in this channel! Thanks!

Really beautiful way of looking at things.

Great opening to the talk!

Thank you so much Ajahn Brahm

How lucky we are

this is sooooo good! thank you very very much!

Sadhu Sadhu SADHUUUUUUUUUU ❤️

thankyou Ajahn Brahm!!! very insightful. this talk speaks to me especially right now!

The new view. Beat expectations. Exceed expectations. Lower than expectations. Disappointment means doing less then expected. No expectations, no disappointment. Buddhists don't lower the bar, they bury the bar. Love it all just the way it is.

instead, you laugh at me, you great buddhist master..... unbelievable...

The closest proof I could offer would be to suggest looking to Dialectical Behavior Therapy and the research around that. A great deal of Buddhist philosophy has been incorporated into DBT and "Real" people not in a "Bubble" have been able to use the skills to improve their lives both personally and interpersonally, myself included. What he's saying here and has been echoed by psychologist Nick Salsman, is that expectations and judgments impede reality and can cause suffering.

Disappointment is a sort of bankruptcy - the bankruptcy of a soul that expends too much in hope and expectation. Happiest is he who expects no happiness from others. It's a little tough to get over when people have treated you with loving-kindness. It's sort of natural and logical to want a good thing.

so much love Ajahn Brahm

Thank you, we love you too.

boy was that awesome!

Love his talk.seen him in Singapore. Yeo building and evergreen temple.
