Buddhist Freedom of Choice | 2017
Update: 2025-07-29
Description
Ajahn Brahmali explores the concept of freedom through both a modern Western and a Buddhist lens, emphasizing that while both traditions value freedom, they understand it in fundamentally different ways.
Western freedom is often equated with autonomy: the ability to choose what to do, say, or consume. In Buddhism, the core idea of freedom is inner freedom: the freedom from the compulsion of desire and aversion.
