In general I adore Ajan Brahm and his speeches. Ajan Brahm is a Theravada Buddhist monk. Currently Brahm is the Abbot of Bodhinyana Monastery, in Serpentine, Western Australia. He studied Theoretical physics at Cambridge University before becoming a monk and providing this inspiring speeches on the following youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/BuddhistSocietyWA
Today I would like to share his speech about attachment. Attaching to the _right_ things and enjoying simplicity. He is talking about the benefits of having less. A smaller car, a smaller house and at the same time caring for the environment. The brainwashing of our culture is also mentioned, but also they joy of inner prosperities: Love, fun, friendship, family, happiness and comfort.
