Ajahn Brahm Podcast

At the beginning of every new year, it is a common practice in Western culture to make resolutions and set goals for the upcoming year. As a Buddhist monk, Ajahn Brahm believes that it is important to set reasonable and useful goals, and to not aim too high in order to avoid disappointment and frustration. He also cautions against setting goals that are influenced by external societal pressures, such as becoming wealthy or famous. As a Buddhist, Ajahn Brahm’s New Year's resolution would be to focus on the true purpose and goal of my actions, rather than just trying to do more of something. For example, instead of saying I will meditate more, my goal would be to become more peaceful and kind. Similarly, instead of focusing on making more money, I will strive to enjoy and appreciate what I already have.

The ability to investigate is an integral part of Buddhism as it allows one to ask questions and dig deep to find the truth. Along with questioning, it is also important to gain personal experience through things like meditation retreats. Through experience and investigation, one can gain a deeper understanding of life and its workings. However, this opportunity to investigate and experience is not often available in everyday life, making places like retreat centers valuable for this purpose.- Ajahn Brahm explains what it means to investigate and why Buddhists do it.
