I can barely hear, but still I love it 😍🙏
Ajahn Brahmali May you be happy May you be home May you find the peaceful island which is not inside or outside May you attain the supreme bliss of nibanna ❤️
my favorite dharma teacher. always excellent and helpful to my practice
your voice is soothing to the soul #ajahnbrahm
❤️
opening the door of your heart
The way it is
excellent talk 😁
This is a priceless, valuable podcast for those who look for peace of mind in the modern world. I also recommend DhammaTalks by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Such a shame the sound is not very good quality but thankyou for this talk.
Is there any way the sound quality could be improved? Thankyou for your talk and meditation.
I can hear two sound tracks at the same time 🤔
Programming Meditation
thank you
Thank you venerable Ajahn Brahm for all your teachings and guidance. I am from a Theravada Buddhist country but I don't listen to sermons by local monks because most of them do not know (or perhaps bother) to adress real-life problems
open the door to your heart
This has changed my life. opening my heart doors and letting in all that I have tried to hide. Thank you so very very much.
Loving kindness for the body. Meditation starts round about minute 12.
True happiness stems from leading a simple life and being a good person. ☺️
Meditation with one mantra for beginners: mindfulness is changeable; and 4 mantras for experienced meditators: body - feelings - mind - dhammas is (are) changeable.
