Going Beyond Suffering Into Peace

In this insightful talk, Ajahn reflects upon the true role of teachers, pointing out things to be relinquished and directing minds inwards rather than encouraging spiritual materialism.

Thank you so very much Ajahn 🙏. I can listen to your teachings for hours, and between following you here on Insight Timer and on YouTube, I certainly have. You offer your wisdom in a very calm and clear manner, which I very much appreciate. I do not have a teacher and am new to Buddhist practice, but have found a few teachers here on Insight Timer to at least start my practice with. There is a monastery approximately an hour from me that I hope to visit. It is a Temple Forest Monastery in the Theravada tradition. May you be well, and thank you again for all that you do.

Thank you! This teaching is so helpful: sobering, humbling and motivating.
I will return to this when I lose my way in practice and everyday life. Bless.🙏❤

Again, thank you for a job well done. I hear you and your message is gratefully received all the way from your Thai forest to a small fishing village in England.

I listen to you every day from Iran. I think I am becoming a buddhist 🥰☺️ Thank You Ajhan! May you be well, may you be happy 🥰🥰

An excellent talk that helped work with the recent loss of my mother.

Very helpful and comforting during a bad time for me, health-wise. Thank you.

So grateful for you and your teachings. It feels like coming home. 🙏🏽

Felt it was very good timing for me to
hear this now as a very loud renovation is underway in the apt. next door. Thank you.

Thank you. In this one talk the whole of our human experience is laid forth. Now I am here. Now I sit still. Now I breathe.

Thank you! 🙏 I hope I can join your retreat sometime 🧡

So simple and so clear. Thank you as always.

Pretty stern talk. Theravada doesn't fool around. Obviously appropriate for me just now. He said old ladies at home can still be on the path. That's me!

Wonderful contemplation

Wonderful and so insightful. Thank you 🙏

Really insightful.... I really loved how straight forward he is in his teaching.
