Impermanence: Everything Will Be Allright

[anatoriac]

"We're human doings" Haha so true! Brilliant.

Thank you _/\_

[composerdoh]

This is a great talk. I wish we could hear more from this guy!

[MrNeoelvis]

Buddhism is so deep;)

[HULACODA]

stops at 32.17.... I will try again.... thank you -

[newday0531]

@mnemoniccourier You misunderstand, it is Ajahn Khemavaro's quote not mine. The LOL however is entirely mine, to show my enjoyment of his talk.

[champion1098]

great ajahn

[MelWalford]

An excellent video thank you fro the encouragement

[jbearden]

Great video, great talk! Fix the spelling of "Alright" in the title. Only problem. :)

[MelWalford]

@jbearden

Does it really matter

[jbearden]

@MelWalford Not to me. It actually doesn't matter. I was only trying to be helpful.

[Cheballer87]

@jbearden no they spelled it right. Everthing is [ALL] right :).

[Cheballer87]

@Cheballer87 everything** 

[pixusbubblejet]

As a Buddhist, I must say that Buddhism IS a religion, because it was necessarily developed through historical-social processes and cultural phenomena such as "rituals", which are part of human traditions. This fact must be respected and not be denied.. BUT at the same time, it is also NOT a religion, because there are very great correlations with modern rational sciences such as Physics, Psychology and Neurosciences. This is the beauty of Buddhism.

[Alexisme1001]

Pangpingw- It may not be passive as far as introspection goes, but it is passive in terms of promoting material and social progress. As the historical record shows, predominantly Buddhist societies have not produced great inventors, scientists, industrialists, social activists, etc. in the past. That may be changing now, however.

[newday0531]

good enough - lazy man's enlightenment LOL

[mnemoniccourier]

@newday0531 Theye not lazy. Theye calm and peaceful.

[MrMbodhi]

Wonderful talk, thank you.

[Alexisme1001]

Christianity as it is generally practiced does encourage materialism. Check out Max Weber's "Protestantism and the Spirit of Capitalism", which pretty much applies to mainstream Christianity (not just the Protestant variety). Of course, what we call Christianity now bears little resemblance to the cult which began 2,000 years ago. My comment was mainly a consideration of the fact that for all its drawbacks, the West has been at the forefront of material progress.

[ashtongrist]

@Alexisme1001 Or republicans

[Alexisme1001]

I think that Buddhism has alot to teach the West, esp. the adherents of the Abrahamic religions. However, neither type of religion/philosophy is sufficient by itself. It's true that Western religions tend to make society more materialistic and competitive, but their silver lining is material and social progress. The downside of the Eastern systems is passivity and self-absorption. Maybe the world needs a hybrid.

[pangpingw]

@Alexisme1001 Buddhism is not a passive religion. In fact it is a religion that urge people to be proactive. I encourage you to investigate more ;D

[alexandraacreator]

@pangpingw Buddhism is not a religion. It's a path towards selfknowledge. 

[pangpingw]

@alexandraacreator Buddhism is both a path towards self-knowledge and religion. It's between the two. Because when we need a place to hold to, we hold on to triple gem. The faith is religion part of Buddhism. Its with the faith, we can persist on the path towards enlightenment.

[bannatreeful]

haha love this guy and his smile

[KamuiMiha]

it's easy to say but hard to do ....

[MimiZ914]

This guy just radiates calmness & joy..

[auspiciousaurora]

[TwinFlameify]

Big Hearted thank-you for helping me remember some long forgotten principles and states of mind...

Namaste ; )

[goingyourway101]

Very good. It is helpful to realize that life is all about perception.

[caramelodemaiz]

[DEDSHANK]

Namaste brother,

Cheerful service, selfless sacrifice, love and generosity.

The keys to true human life on planet Earth.

Thank you and keep the good word moving.

[bodhiXdharma]

This is really great!

[NxSeD]

He is a good man, I hope all goes well for him. and I hope all goes well for everyone who listens to this talk. thank you for the talk Ajahn kemavaro.

[moderate44]

Ajahn Khemavaro is soo funny! I don't know if anyone else finds him funny! but just his voice makes me laugh!!

[IndigoAirQueen]

thank you

[NingyoRenee]

Fantastic talk.  It brought me back to the belief of "good enough" which I had gotten away from the last few weeks. Thank-you so much.

[TheVera123456]

He said, "Everything will be Allright". If he is preaching about Present, He should say, "Everything Allright now, already"

[TheVera123456]

He said, "Everything will be Allright". If he is preaching about Present, He should say, "Everything Allright now, already"

[donotfeedthetroll]

All Will Be Well

[zioband]

OM.. bravo..

[MrChoronzon333]

bows.. wish I could implement the words but I am trapped in Samsara apparently.. all the resentments I'm carrying around are causing me a lot of suffering..

[pangpingw]

@MrChoronzon333 you can.  give yourself time ;D

[markidarkistark]

His buddhism's game tight.

[yayayair]

really wonderful talk.

thank you

[ljpgirl]

The first time to listen to this VDO. Really like the way he explain.

[panci0808]

"Good Enough" for the present moment, that's beautiful. Admitting our failures, but letting it go cos it's not the present moment, regret is useless. Being mindful, we'll realise that anger and regret are waste of energy.

The present determines the future. If our mind is not cluttered, we are peaceful and happy, we can make better plans, better actions, better preparations, be more likeable - that will make our future better and happier too!

[garouHH]

"Any physical or mental problem is to be expected. This is not a heavenly realm. This is Earth." Eoic.

[TuffTaos]

Thank you. You have brought me back into the truth that lies in my heart.

[AnotherMime]

I really like talks by Ajahn Khemavaro. Can you please have him to give more discourses and place them on YouTube. Much appreciated.

[ExplodingEndorphins]

Something I wish I would have seen a few months ago. But regardless, I see it now and things will only get better and stay better.

[prakashchandwani]

This video is great !!!! I love it

[thedarkageisnow]

may all being be happy..nice dharma talk...

[Lenealsales]

I Loved Loved Loved Loved Loved Loved so much

[crzymonkey64]

very awakened man, thank you.

[djlookwood]

what we do need is to have other people stop abusing us, to be happy...

Happiness is innate to the infant ... look at his or her face as he or she suckles, or is held in love...

Accepting abuse is NOT a good move, and rationalising even less so...

[MarijuanaSamadhi]

@bambizzoozled lol :)

[robtherub]

tell god your plans and god laughs

[EnriqueRomualdez]

Tell god I say thanks for the earthquake in Haiti. He sure knows how to kill 500,000 people.

[robtherub]

meaning? you are angry with somone called "god" for that? which god did that then? and he is somehow therefore "wrong" for that? perhaps you are saying it is "wrong" that people die in earthquakes therefore somehow god is a nasty person? is that it? meaning please?

[EnriqueRomualdez]

@robtherub To answer your first question, by God, I mean all of the Gods from any religion. It is wrong for people to die in earthquakes, but it is also wrong for earthquakes to exist at all; especially if there was a "God" that should most likely posses the power to prevent such catastrophes. The point I am trying to get across is: if God really existed, why would he allow for any of this to happen? Does he enjoy watching his creations perish because of the disasters he manifested himself?

[lechateau100]

@EnriqueRomualdez Check out conversations with God. Its a good concept.

[EnriqueRomualdez]

@robtherub Where was "God" during the holocaust? Did he have to wait for millions of Jewish people to die before stepping in?

[yari13]

@EnriqueRomualdez maybe god hated those fuckin jewish

[MelWalford]

@EnriqueRomualdez

You have missed the message

[Zayras7]

Thank you for the great talk.

[wolfreindeer]

This gives me so much strength... Thank You!

[atfatw]

a great profound philosophy. its extremely dangerous for one's worth, one's self respect, and one's a happiness to make the mistake of thinking that happiness lives outside of you in things or people or careers or vacations,. happineess is only contentment which does make life good enjoyable and well worth living.

[EnvyAbomination]

Impermanence in a nutshell is just to be grateful

[longshok]

Thanks million for the teaching and also posting this clip for the world.

[magebaba]

yeah then they do this

"Arab on Treadmill"

LOL.

[impermanentoo]

This is what our monks do in the temples every morning:

"Buddhist forest monks chanting the morning puja"

[Rea1Lanka01]

Don't post foolish ideas.

You may be an uneducated idiot and poor understanding.

[oneseeker2]

wonderful teaching! wonderful, direct teacher. can someone tell me who he is please. I am tibetan buddhist, so the brown robe is different to me....

[lightenedthunder]

He is Ajahn Khemavaro

[Shevaron]

Gratitude Compassion Forgiveness LOVE

Lear them live them and be happy

[magebaba]

this is great. thank you.

[zombiecatcher]

GREAT!

[GeraldP1983]

Beautiful, so helpful, thank you!

[yinyangnature]

Thank you for forwarding this to me Gerald!

Ironically the temple where this is filmed is not too far from my home in Western Australia and yet you live on the other side of the world! :-)

Namaste my friend.

[GeraldP1983]

Wow amazing, hope you get the chance to visit them once in a while, I would! :D!

[walkingbear56]

by a quirk of fate , I too found this video, nice to see frieds here too. Wonderful talk, wonderful listen.

Namaste

[yinyangnature]

Hi Nik!

It seems we really do belong in the same online community?

Namaste

[walkingbear56]

Hi Bobba

it gives me a great deal of pleasure to see that "faith" is not a ideal that the world has lost contact with. Isn't life wornderful like that?

Everything is going to be alright!

[yinyangnature]

Yes Nik. Unfortunately, "faith" is too often thought of as blind trust. But in this case I think it is more like the wisdom that comes from knowledge and experience; such as the trust a swimmer has for water.

[walkingbear56]

I was trying to explain to my students ( 13 year olds) the other day about why I let them have freedom to draw or paint as they feel, and not to be bound up by the convention of "this picture"or that image" is better than something else.

I came down to the phrase that I felt it was more authentic to someones personal experience and wisdom, and that was more important than technique.

Needless to say the present system of teaching tends to frown on that kind of heretical talk.

[ploiwang]

This monk looks Asian. Is he Thai or what?

[orcaandbeluga]

@ploiwang : He is Vietnamese but immigrated to the US. He is in Perth now.

[jhoa001]

Thank you. I am going through a very difficult situation now. The love of my life is leaving me. I really needed this lecture and I am very grateful for this talk. I will try to incline towards peace and let go. Everything will be alright.

[BamTMoney]

Great talk! But I have a question. About 31 mintues into the talk, does a cell phone vibrate in his robes which he then tries to subtly turn off? lol That's what it looks like anyway.

[shinnyguidingstar]

thank you so much. you made my day with these words of wisdom.

[jadreemah]

very good talk on the dhamma...very effective and powerful delivery. I am touched and grateful for this talk.

with metta

[saranagas]

understanding that the universe IS change that htere is nothing permanent comforts me. Thanks for this talk

[itsmyluckyday11]

This is such a wonderful talk. It really brings life back into perspective. Thank you!

[psuwimohn]

Valuable talk. Thank you very much for posting.

[psuwimohn]

You make me wanna be a nun.

[DEREKinNYC]

Good lecture.

[JoeMelyun]

Valuable talk, thank you!

[NKT3505]

☆LoVe & LiGhT☆

With Metta

[kcgvbb]

thanks a lot!

[khearl5]

Thank you for this talk.

[jacobssandy]

this is a wonderful talk.

[VenerableGuruBuddha]

Time is our present breath.

[fallenwillrise]

i like this guy. i would like to see him do more talks.

[fallenwillrise]

its humorous how at 31:06 the monks cell phone goes off. you can hear and see it vibrating in his hand has he presses end to ignore it lol.

speaking of 'causes' that come up. lol. i thought that was funny.

[PepperHotBaby]

I enjoyed your talk very much and found it very helful. Thank you.

[triadcrip]

the thing is that i felt so isolated by living the truth.. but i know is the truth and i wont go other way. But bcuz others dont follow that way.. i ended up like a weird one.

[HarshiA]

Thanks for uploading such inspiring videos. Please keep up the good work.

[triadcrip]

Hard to be a buddhist in modern society when most dont understand and live the dharma way.. and for me to see all these but cant do anything about it..

I have peace and free in myself.. but others dont.. so whats the point in the end? I cant help them..

[Luke4Luck]

The fact that you are there changes their environment for the better. You can't force them to do anything but they have one more good person to turn to if they only choose to. One more person who is willing to help them and wishes them well. That makes their world a better place in this little part that is you.

Of course, that's only my opinion :)

[abraxusurtur]

Luke4Luck is right. Like Ajahn Brahm said, even the people you want to help cannot be helped/healed but they can always be cared for...:)

[fallenwillrise]

your life will plant seeds in the lives of those who are caught up in this materialistic and sensually obsessed world.

it is not easy. youre right. to live a life of purity and compassion and mindfulness might not be in vogue. but those are trues that are timeless.

this popular cultural is so convincing and so overwhelming....we get swept up in it, as if THAT is what is real and lasting. We must remember that this world goes through PHASES and TRENDS. but truth is not a trend. ABIDE in truth.

[AquariaSpirit]

Thank you for this talk. I will apply this to my life.

[DroolingCretin]

That was a great talk. Very helpful, very skillful. I enjoyed hearing it. Thank you!

[angelheartie123]

Lovely talk thank you very much :)

I hope to see more of Ajahn Khemavaro's talks.

:)

[cwalwanis]

Thank you for ever so much for yet another wonderful dharma talk. I see a visit to Western Australia in my future :) Also, I would like to put a wish out. May the ridiculousness of separation caused by terms like Mahayana, Theravada etc. come to an end (I practice Tibetan Buddhism). May all beings focus not on the subtle differences of our practices but instead realize that we are all practioners of the dharma seeking liberation and be able to come together as one with no judgement in mind.

[TheMorningCoffee]

I wish this too :D

[cwalwanis]

Well, I did meet Bhikku Bodhi a few weeks ago through Thubten Chodron setting up a treachign of his as they were both at the teachings of the Lam Rim from the Dalai Lama here and I went to a Zen monastery this weekend, due to missing Zen practice, and they quoted some things from Tibetan teachings as well as mentioning Trungpa Rinpoche and respect that they have for some of his teachings. So there is hope :)

[TheMorningCoffee]

Wow you are spending time with some profound teachers, where do you live?

[BuddhaJampel]

Always good to see these videos....I mean GREAT!!!

[Nimtila]

Very good talk, thank you so much :)

[Olebruc]

he is from therevada or mahayana?

[mogenicwolf]

Theravada

[Gandimot]

Really good and useful advice. Thanks for posting this video.

[Phnukster]

good talk ! - thank you so much for posting this
