Ajahn Brahm puts a light hearted spin on the topic of fear with this talk full of positive and optimistic stories about confronting a variety of fears–from airplane crashes to being humiliated and from being in danger of physical harm to undergoing the mental distress of panic attacks–these wide-ranging stories cover a lot of ground as they demonstrate what can happen when we confront our fears with courage, humour, and wisdom.

This is part of a series of teachings for a retreat led by Ajahn Brahm & Ajahn Canda in the UK on 24th June 2025.

This is part of a series of teachings for a retreat led by Ajahn Brahm & Ajahn Canda in the UK on 22 June 2025.

In this talk, Ajahn Brahm shows how taking a different perspective can bring us understanding, contentment, energy, and joy, telling stories and giving similes that illustrate how we can refocus our minds to let go, let be, and make peace with anything that arises in our lives and our minds.
