Ajahn Brahm Podcast Everyday Dhamma Network

Ajahn Brahm gives a talk about mental illness. He makes a distinction between an illness of the brain and illness of the mind because whilst the mind and brain are related, the nature of illness for each has different symptoms. This becomes very clear when one develops deep states of meditation (the jhanas) and the mind becomes separated from the body (and brain). Ajahn Brahm starts the talk with an amazing story about his teacher Ajahn Chah going into deep meditation despite his body not working. Ajahn Brahm goes on to talk about the causes of mental illness (which can go back to previous lives).

Ajahn Brahm talks about how out-of-body experiences and near-death experiences, as well as experiences in deep meditation provide the proof that rebirth is real, and that it has been suppressed in Western culture for many centuries. He goes on to talk about how understanding that we live many lives is very useful including how it can help us to understand our own character formation and how deep seated desires can carry across from previous lives. It can also give us an appreciation of the workings of karma (action and result) and how it works in our lives and the lives of others.

How can we know what is real and what isn’t? How can we know the best way to live? How can we know what is really true? Can we knowing anything? Buddhism says ‘yes’! And much of what Buddhism is about is guidance on how to find the truth for ourselves through direct experience. In this talk Ajahn Brahm talks about how we can know what is true for sure.
