Buddhism and Mental Illness | Ajahn Brahm
Manage episode 387447459 series 3408250
Ajahn Brahm gives a talk about mental illness. He makes a distinction between an illness of the brain and illness of the mind because whilst the mind and brain are related, the nature of illness for each has different symptoms. This becomes very clear when one develops deep states of meditation (the jhanas) and the mind becomes separated from the body (and brain). Ajahn Brahm starts the talk with an amazing story about his teacher Ajahn Chah going into deep meditation despite his body not working. Ajahn Brahm goes on to talk about the causes of mental illness (which can go back to previous lives).
