Moderní překlad publikace Ajahna Brahma „Word of the Buddha“, kterou Ajahn používá k výuce buddhistických sutt. V roce 1907 vydal německý mnich, ctihodný Ñānatiloka, anglickou verzi knihy Buddhova slova. Je charakterizována jako „Přehled Buddhova učení slovy pālijského kánonu“. Obsahuje výběr autentického učení ze sútt, které pojednávají o hlavním buddhistickém učení čtyř vznešených pravd (včetně vznešené osmidílné stezky).  Více než 25 let používá Ajahn Brahm tuto publikaci jako učebnici k uvedení svých mnišských studentů do problematiky buddhistických sútt. Každý anagárika (adept přijatý k přípravě) a sámanera (začínající mnich) musí absolvovat tento kurz základního buddhistického učení, předtím než je mu uděleno vyšší vysvěcení jako bhikkhu (plně vysvěcený mnich).  Ajahn Brahm vytvořil pro účely výuky svých mnišských adeptů nový typ překladu — ani ne tak pro vědecké experty, spíše pro ty, kteří se chtějí ve svém životě ponořit do tohoto učení. Řídil se bystrou radou profesora A. K. Wardera: „Věta je přirozenou jednotkou sdělení a představuje minimální jednotku, která má přesný, plně vyjádřený význam. Pro účely studia musíme slovům přiřazovat přibližné významy a zařazovat je do slovníků, avšak zobecňující významy slov jsou velmi vágní, zatímco věty poskytují přesnější význam. Při tvorbě překladu lze nalézat ekvivalenty blízké jednotlivým větám, zatímco u jednotlivých slov je to často nemožné.“ Ajahn Brahmavamso ("Adžán"), autor knihy „Kráva, která plakala“, absolvent Univerzity v Cambridge, je buddhistický mnich a duchovní superstar. Přitom stále skromný, laskavý, autentický a vtipný. Žije v malé jeskyni uprostřed kláštera Bodhinyana nedaleko Perthu v Austrálii. Říká o sobě, že je "mnich, který má rád legraci" (fun loving monk).

Once, when Ajahn Brahm was a young monk, his teacher Ajahn Chah asked him to give a Dhamma talk before thousands of people in Thailand. For most people, that would be terrifying. But Ajahn Brahm remembered the lesson he had been trained to practise: letting go. In this talk, Ajahn Brahm explains why we should release our regrets about the past and our anxieties about the future, and learn to live with greater peace in the present moment.
