"Aspects of Freedom" by Ajahn Nyanadhammo

Ajahn Nyanadhammo, abbot of Wat Pah Nanachat International Monastery, visits Perth. His talk had the audience spellbound as he explained Buddhist strategies that can take us out of the unsatisfactoriness of human existence to freedom. We also hear of the oldest monk in the world who was swallowed and then regurgitated by a giant python! And why red light districts have red lights...

20000 acts of compassion ..that is the goal for me.

This by far is the best dharmma talk i have ever heard. This partial glimpse of enlightenment is like begining of the path to true liberation. It is true, that is only scratches the surface of buddhism but provides great inspiration for those who seek to find true liberation from this world of "problematic" suffering. sadhu sadhu sadhu.

sadhu means respect to the good thing ^_^

Everyone sounded so depressed saying sadhu sadhu sadhu at the end.

Certainly better by the end. What does that mean? Very good.

@champion1098 it would be the Teaching of the Buddha: 'This is suffering. This is the end of suffering.' Understand that and you understand the heart. See that and you see the heart.

Role of Morgan Freeman in" Bucket list " movie is compassion.

Buddha's teachings are just that, teachings to be reflected upon. It is based on understanding and wisdom; developing wisdom comes with true understanding. One basic theme in his teaching is learning to let go of attachments-those that causes suffering to oneself and others. Every human being has attachments; this is one connection in humanity. Another theme is to avoid wrong views-i.e., expecting no diversity in a diverse World. These concepts are just scratches on the surface of "Buddhism".
