Ajahn Brahm is particularly guilty of this.

Doing It Is Easy | Bhante Bodhidhaja | Kusala Meditations Roleystone
Q: Does thinking too much make you tired?
For sure. It's crucial to learn about effortless focus and how to respond to situations.
Doing It Is Easy | Bhante Bodhidhaja | Kusala Meditations Roleystone
Q: So, my question is around, I will push the boundaries to give up on my sleep, and then I will focus more on meditation.
It's an attitude, it is an energy, which is actually using up energy. You are burning more energy, but it's a forced focus.
Wholesome Perception, Speech and Relationships | Venerable Radha | 7 March 2025
Q: How do you avoid being exploited and taken advantage of if you are generous and kind?
Set boundaries by understanding others' needs while knowing your limits.
Wholesome Perception, Speech and Relationships | Venerable Radha | 7 March 2025
Q: What do you do when you don't have other people in your life at all?
If you value solitude, it's peaceful; if lonely, it signifies craving for connection. Learn to enjoy solitude.
Guided Meditation | Venerable Radha | 8 March 2025
Q: What do I do if the pain I want to ease gets stronger instead? What is wrong?
The speaker suggests that you should not force deep breathing if it aggravates your injury. Instead, share kindness and compassion to the painful area and allow nature to take care of the healing.
