Ajahn Brahm Podcast

The Dhamma talk for the evening is on the topic of "right view," which is not about following a set of beliefs or rituals, but rather about how to look at and react to life. Ajahn Brahm shares a story of a man who gets upset when a stranger yells at him, but later finds out the man has a brain injury. The moral of the story is that we should focus on our reactions to life, rather than external triggers, and understand that anger is a dysfunctional reaction. In this Dharma talk, Ajahn Brahm discusses the importance of right view in Buddhism. He explains that right view is all about how we perceive and react to life. If we can change our view, we can change the way we experience life and ultimately find peace and happiness. — This dhamma talk was originally recorded in 4th July 2008.

Ajahn Brahm explains that the fear of making a mistake is what makes decision making difficult, and it comes from the conditioning of punishment associated with making wrong choices. The speaker also mentions that whatever decision we make, we can always make something out of it and that life is continuously evolving. When it comes to decision making, it is important to not let personal desire, ill will, delusion, or fear influence our choices. We should learn to make decisions quickly and not be afraid of making mistakes. Many people make decisions out of fear, but we should remember that whatever path we choose, it will always lead to different options and learning experiences. The best way to make decisions is to be well informed and not let fear hold us back. — This dhamma talk was originally recorded in 9th May 2008.
