  • I didn't think it was possible--that there were any more lessons the universe could throw your way. But here it is. A massive detachment lesson fit for the truly advanced. You have taught me much and may now teach us more in the face of this new challenge. Love (of course), Whitney

  • excommunication is just worldly,the Dhamma we walk on is beyond Loka Dhamma.May there be eternal brotherhood of Dhamma

  • Ajahn Brahm saved my life. I suffer from extreme depression and his talks have more than helped me.

    Bhikkhu Bodhi is a very respected Theravada scholar and said it was not impossible to ordain nuns. He explained how it is possible according to the vinaya either with Mahayana nuns and Theravada monks, or even just monks. And even if it was not possible according to the letter of the law, would the Buddha have said you must always stick rigidly to it even where compassion and insight suggest another course?

  • @coyote2625

    Plus who are you to say who is an arahant or isn't and since when could one not have reverence for a teacher without proof he was enlightened?

  • @coyote2625

    In any case Ajahn Brahm has argued that he did follow the VInaya rules
