Talk Your Way To Happiness

Ajahn Brahm: This talk revolves around the second and third factors of the Noble Eightfold Path, namely the Intentions of Renunciation, Goodwill and Harmlessness - as well as the practising of Right Speech. Always pragmatic and practical, the Dhamma taught by the Buddha 2500 years ago, correlates perfectly with contemporary concepts of psychology: deluded and and ego-intoxicated, humans project their own fears and weaknesses onto others, rather than face these within themselves. This creates endless conflict and suffering. Loving kindness, gentleness, humility and frugality are the Buddha's antidote...

people don't realize that advertisers and car companies spend thousands of dollars to brainwash you and make you give. them. your. money.

-That's why you want to 'impress your neighbors'

-That's why you feel like retirement at 50 with a huge house and fancy car means 'you've made it'

you're making someone ELSE rich when you buy those clothes, that car, and those movies.

do yourself a favor and put THE MONEY IN YOUR OWN BANK ACCOUNT.

life would be so much easier if we all just used our brains!!!

@grenda5 Buddhism is all about taking the time to slow down and stop being so eager to get to the solution, enjoy the ride. Sh.

@jackgoldman1 Well its not necessarily religions that cause war, its the people. The Dalai Lama said himself that all religions have the same philosophies and are all different paths to enlightenment. He even stated "I am a Bud-Christ". I don't mean to be naggy or offensive to your views but this sort of comment may offend others and cause other people hatered and suffering. Please if you have a negative opinion agaianst other religions, keep it to yourself. No offense intended :)

Only people following Judaism, Christianity, Islam, the war religions of hate, could dislike this video. Buddhism is for individuals to be happy. Religion is for groups to have wars and hate. Judaism, Christianity, Islam have lost their moral authority to be a world belief system. Only Buddhism has the moral authority and history to be a world belief system. Groups have no true love. Only individuals have true love. Let go to have true love and true happiness.
