I met him in Toronto in July. Got his book signed! He's even more funny in person. I told him "I listened to your talks online every week" He replied "You've haven't gotten enough of the punishment yet?" He's very easy and nice to talk to.

If i am not wrong with Ajhan Chah action, he was actually trying to enlightened Ajhan Brahm by barking at him, cause at that moment, if he realized the meaning of why Ajhan Chah do that,he might have found his answer to realizations. Ajhan Brahm mind was too attached to help his master for the sonar and start to cling to that feeling for his master. That's why Ajhan Chah said there is nothing!there is nothing there for him to crave and cling to, not even him. Let go and the mind will be free.

I have just discovered Ajahn recently and I have to admit, in all my years of studying Buddhism, I find Ajahn's style of delivery and off-the-cuff epithets so refreshing. He brings a down-to-earth mentality to the Dharma with a dry sense of humour and can be funny with it. I liken him to Rev. Kusala in America. Thanks for posting this fantastic interview.

@kiwikiswahili What a great philosophy in it.

@jaonthairobber666 Buddhism, like Hinduism, isn't a (organized) religion, it is a way of life, state of mind or rather as how I view it, a belief system...☮

I met Ajahn Brahm in HK Feb 2011. Never have I met a Dhamma teacher or monk so jolly and inspiring at the same time, he is very compassionate too. I had good laugh in every his Dhamma talk and absorb the great energy and joy from him. Thanks so much Ajahn and those who make good effort of putting his talks onto internet. I want to follow him but he is so far away from my country. However, I know whenever I need inspiration and food for the mind, Ajahn Brahm is always here. Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
