Ajahn Brahm talks about how to be assertive, hissing but not biting, as in the classic story of the bad snake. Ajahn Brahm speaks about about how we need to be passive when meditating, but there are times when we need to be active, looking after ourselves and others and standing up for ourselves in a harmless manner.

AJAHN BRAHM: The Cambridge Physicist Who Became a Monk With Nothing

Buddhist Wisdom 3D
Aug 30, 2026
There is a story almost no one would believe if you told it to a twenty-year-old buried in quantum physics equations at Cambridge — that this would become the story of his own life.
A working-class boy from London. A scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities on Earth. And then, one afternoon, a chance walk into a university Buddhist Society room — where he saw a monk, and knew, instantly: this is what I want to become.
Not a physicist. Not a professor. A monk who would own nothing at all.
This is the story of Ajahn Brahm — from Peter Betts, Cambridge theoretical physics student, to nine years of forest austerity under Ajahn Chah in Thailand, to founding one of the largest Theravada monasteries outside Asia.

Success Without Stress | by Ajahn Brahm | 24 February 2012

Buddhist Society of Western Australia
Mar 1, 2012
This is a talk about how to use your mind efficiently so as to have more brainpower and to be successful with a smile on your face.
According to Ajahn Brahm, stress is caused by having 'excessive stuff' in your mind, having 'no break' in the stressful time, and the fear of failure in any future undertakings.
However, stress can be avoided by 'freeing up' our mind space by letting go of the past asap, recognising the need to let go and taking a break, trusting that this 'rest' is worth it in otherwise stressful circumstances, and adopting a positive attitude by 'just doing' and not 'doing excessive thinking' and accepting any failure as a learning experience from which to grow.
Learning how to de stress is very important. Ajahn Brahm sums up his talk by telling a story of a professor and an old sailor that illustrates what is instrumental to survival in this stressful modern world.
