The Negativity of Positivity

[shimmeringstream]

A big thank you to Ajahn Brahm for these beautiful simple life changing teachings of the Buddha, and delivered with such humour too, I was in giggles so many times, laughter really is a medicine! I hope these eternal but yet refreshing life giving teachings touch the hearts of many people as they have mine.

One thing that I used to do in the past was to always vent my anger and the bad things that happen to me to the people at work. They in turn hated and disrespected me. The key for me has been to keep the bad and negate thinkgs to myself at least at work. I don't give them a reason to hate me and disrespect me.

I know right? pls come back.

[hiranoshe]

I definetly needed to hear this. This vid was a sort of godsend. I've been going through a pretty rough time the past few months, but I was trying to force myself to be happy, for the sake of people I care about and out of denial. This will certainly help me to focus on a better sense of balance.

[greenelf12]

Can I juat add though, yes if you lose your license you shouldn't be happy about it, but you can still put a positive spin on it and see the benifits and oportunities that come from a negative event, sure you shouldn't be happy about the thing that is happening but you can still put the thing that is happening into perspective.

[justkarmatoo]

Keeping it real. Telling it like it is. Keep on keepin on Brahm. Thanks.

[greenelf12]

@justkarmatoo I love that saying "keep on keeping on" ;o)

[ketsan]

After 2,500 years, finally the dharma in HD. :D

[nubonamission]

@ketsan lol, brilliant comment

[WhatSayestThou]

I knew a person that had that facade going on and let's face it it IS a facade, but I believe this person was doing it for others that was facing and dealing with the dukka in life and doesn't the word "dukka" sound like another word for "shit" anyway. LMAO.

[WhatSayestThou]

And hey lemme tell you too there are people in this world that will just NOT let you off the hook for past mistakes and all that does is just keep the emotional poison going. Negativity in stupidity, stupid people doing stupid things that don't benefit God or man-KIND as a whole. THIS is the atittude that needs to change in us ALL

Namaste.

[hopeallishappy]

Ajahn Brahm rocks!!

[Ashitanoyuki]

Thousands of thanks.

[rezartsy]

i wish more people would listen to these talks and think and act mindfully

[qwertas76]

Thank you Ajahn for taking time to understand the nature of life and sharing it with me and the rest of the world.

[stmpcol]

Great insights from Ajahn Brahm, as usual :-) Sometimes we forget that suffering is impermanent, and we think our happiness is.....

[phalanx1000]

Venerable Ajahm Brahm, I bought your book Mindfulness, Bliss and Beyond and I've found it quite useful for my meditation. I also find it enjoyable to read. May you have long long life. :)

[EnvyAbomination]

I gotta say, I went through that stage where I forced myself to be happy all the time. But when I actually gave up on it, THATS when I became happy.

[Sean2Z]

@EnvyAbomination i know exactly what you mean. Because that is what i ve been trying to do all this time..

[shadieqa1]

:D thank you for sharing
