Meditation is like a gym in which you develop the powerful mental muscles of calm and insight.
Ajahn BrahmHow many times have you tried to solve โthe problemโ? youโll be trying to solve it not just until you die but for many more lifetimes. Instead, understand that this world is just the play of the senses. Itโs the five khandhas doing their thing; it has nothing to do with you. Itโs just people being people, the world being the world.
Ajahn BrahmThe selfless giving, the service, the kindness which you give out into this world that is the currency of (the) meaning (of life).
Ajahn BrahmIf you know how to let go and be at peace, you know everything you need to know about living in the world.
Ajahn BrahmLove, oneness, is no separation between you and life. It is a progressive letting go, a progressive not fault finding. Just do nothing and love this moment. Its very beautiful and very deep.
Ajahn BrahmWhat are people searching for in life? God. In the christian scriptures, it says 'Be still and know you are God.' What is this? You are peace, compassion, truth, Love, freedom. Real love- the ability to love yourself so much that you forgive everything and you are at peace with yourself like a mother loves a child, not trying to be someone.
