Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Emptiness Is Good
Q: Does emptiness mean non-self, rather than only physical emptiness?
Ajahn Brahm explains that the empty driver's seat represents anatta, or non-self: what people take to be a controlling will is a process shaped by causes and conditions.
The Power of Goodness
Q: I have a question about Goodness. I haven't tried to do that good, but really don't want to do it.
Ajahn Brahm distinguishes being nice from being good, recommends giving criticism honestly but compassionately, and says people can choose actions according to higher priorities such as friendship and shared happiness.
The Process of Rebirth
Q: How does karma ripen in relation to this life and past lifetimes?
Karma ripens as a sum total of life patterns, where good actions build positive outcomes and negative actions create tension and suffering, with the ripening depending on the accumulated inclinations and the manner in which one lives.
Guided Meditation with Ajahn Brahm (20100522)
Q: What should be done when the mind is scrambled or overwhelmed by old karma during practice?
Acknowledge the scrambling without resistance and cultivate space between the observer and the experience, then respond with kindness and gentleness, which creates new, peaceful karma and gradually settles the mind.
Guided Meditation with Ajahn Brahm (20100522)
Q: Is it possible to reach jhana by bypassing nimittas through presence of pure metta?
The usual path is recommended because it provides a reliable signpost; bypassing nimittas is possible but risky and often leads to uncertain results or wishful thinking, so it is better to follow the traditional sequence.
