2012-02-03 -In Harmony with myself :- how the divisions we created have resulted in the hatred and problems in our world, looking at the others to find anything that warrent your admiration can result in respecting the others and creating harmony in this bitter society

2012-01-20 Ethics In An Unethical World : When faced with an ethical dilemma, often we do not know what to do. We may simply follow the mainstream, do excessive thinking, follow the ‘expert’s‘ advice or simply comply with religious teaching. According to Ajahn Brahm, the most trustworthy and fundamental ethical compass of right or wrong is your heart. Be mindful of those feelings, and follow what is right inside of you. To illustrate this point, Ajahn Brahm raises a challenging discussion about breaking precepts under certain circumstances when it is simply the ONLY right thing to do. In this unethical world, where ethics are bent to achieve monetary gain, power, pleasure and so on, you may lose many battles while you are protecting your ethical stand, BUT you will win the war eventually.

2012-01-13 One Life- Many Lives : The concept of having only one life may lead to the fear that we may not be able to accomplish all that we want to before our death. The concept of “this is a life out of many”, will change the perception and the way we treat life.
Death is not to be feared. Ajahn Brahm offers us beautiful images of death, comparing it to a beautiful sunset or the crescendo before the end of a great symphony.

2012-01-06 Kamma Without Belief : In this talk Ajahn Brahm takes a non-traditional approach in explaining kamma (actions and their results). The widespread idea that one’s actions will result in punishment and retribution is too simplistic. The guilt feeling you have when you are happy and other mis-conceptions. So if you want to know more about kamma, listen on.

2011-12-30 - Looking Forward to 2012- Don’t Go Anywhere
Just be here. You can’t change the world, but you can change your attitude towards the world. So embrace 2012 with compassion and kindness.

2011-12-16 – What Do we Expect in 2012 : You can’t change the world, but you can change your attitude towards the world. So embrace 2012 with compassion and kindness.
