About five years ago I stumbled upon this monk's talks. How he speaks and teaches the pratical applications of Buddhism is what really brought me to this profound religion, a "religion" which I had earlier thought of as foreign and supersticious. I soon learned that the complete opposite was true, and to this day these very teachings help me through every aspect of my life... so, I thought I'd share this with everyone here in hopes that you might get something from it as well. :)
This particular teaching by Ajahn Brahmavamso is on the subject of 'loneliness'. There are many, many more topics that he has spoken about and can be found on www.bswa.org -- as well as the talks of many other insightful teachers.
I know this is a very long video, so it's probably best to do what I do: Have it playing in the background while you do something else (for example cleaning, exercising, playing video games, etc.) ;)
With Metta :)
