Ajahn Brahm explores similes in Buddhism on the humble banana: revealing how the mind works and how to solve problems. Ajahn Brahm talks about our monkey mind which is always trying to get things out of the way first, before it can be kind, generous, meditate, love and so on. Ajahn Brahm points out that we should do the important things in life first which are being kind, generous, meditating and loving one another and so on.
