Ajahn Brahm


Ajahn Brahmavamso Mahathera (lovingly known to most as Ajahn Brahm) was born Peter Betts in London, United Kingdom in August 7, 1951. He came from a working-class background, and won a scholarship to study Theoretical Physics at Cambridge University in the late 1960s. After graduating from Cambridge he taught in high school for one year before travelling to Thailand to become a monk and train with the Venerable Ajahn Chah Bodhinyana Mahathera.
Whilst still in his years as a junior monk, he was asked to undertake the compilation of an English-language guide to the Buddhist monastic code - the Vinaya - which later became the basis for monastic discipline in many Theravadan monasteries in Western countries.


Thanks to ping ping who invited me to this dharma talk.
found out that Ajahn Brahm is a very very good. beberapa hal yang di ajarkan pada hari itu adalah , tersenyum lah , love ppl and love yourself.
this whole 1 hour talks is very very unbelieveable , it does change part in my self a lil bit. i should read his book. and keep smiling and patient and be brave never give up and honest....
dari penampilan nya , ia orang yang sangat ramah , seperti apa yang di katakan oleh handaka Vijjananda . Apoteker lulusan Ugm Jogja. begitu banyak cerita berupa pelajaran yang dia ajarkan , who knows ... sesuatu yang gagal bukan lah selalu sesuatu yang tidak baik. tapi "do your best"
anyway , i can finish up the whole page to write . but lets read the book 1st... haha
