My parents sent me to Monastery young. At 19 I left monastery to pursue my formal educations. By 26 i got a master degree in Finance, approved PR in USA - jobs lined up, was making very good doing trading and job salary. I was really happy but I always missed that part being Mindfulness creature at the monastery. At 31 I resigned from my job, took a one way trip to Dharamshala. Today I’m 34 a monk again & teach basic finance to Monks. Remember guys no god is coming to save you from your suffering, it’s your own actions today will make better or worse individual.
Nothing positive you are still chasing money. In the Original Buddhist teachings monks should not Possess anything especially money but Tibetan Buddhism is not real.Buddhism it’s Hinduism.
AT NO POINT IN THIS VIDEO does anyone say “Don’t be a monk”! I watched this video twice. Please correct me if I missed it. Otherwise, given the thumbnail (“Don’t Become a Monk”, in quotes) this entire video can be considered clickbait and actually contributes to suffering.. which is also a violation of UA-cam’s terms of agreement.
@sprouht can you please dont use any clickbait thumbnail for views? that’s some nasty moves. be respectful especially after they shared some wisdom to you and welcomed you.
Yup. But most of these monks and nuns are full of desires. Owning expensive iphones and laptops. Wearing expensive clothings. Hanging out in expensive cafes and restaurant on a regular basis. And their DESIRE for the taste of animal flesh is on another level.
A consistent theme: "Don't care too much about what others think of you.". "Don't try to keep up.". "I wish I did what I wanted instead of what others' expected of me."
So true! I always tell myself why should I care what others think of me because there are not paying my bills. At the end of the day, I had to survive on this earth, nobody gives damn when I’m begging on the streets.
@@MarkBH70 sir you seems like you belongs to western side of the world. So if you don't mind my can you enlighten me a bit about what kind of judgmental attitude and expectations are there in your place, because from the perspective of eastern side of the world it always looks like you people are one of the most open minded society where there is less to no judgmental attitude at all. I am always confused about it. Can you kindly explain it to me a little.
@@MarkBH70actually we have no time to think of others...we spend most of the time concerned about what other will think of us. But it is a humbling fact that we are not important enough for others to waste their time thinking of us..
As a young person interested in spirituality I arrogantly give you one piece of advice . Read about the Life and Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Here is that rare entity - a genuinely Enlightened Sage. He may not be your Guru or your Path but at least you will get a great understanding of what Truth is and how a genuinely Enlightened Sage lives . Best wishes 🙏☸️🕉️
Buddha and mahavir Jain these 2 spiritual gurus are healers they don't have any powers as they says only knowledge which you can follow in your life, it will helps a bit in my opinion. Now these gurus have been expired, currently there is no correct teachings of them to follow wisely otherwise it would backfire. Now there is only one type complete detachment and it is a negative spiritual role.nowadays there is only hardships wherever we sees all goodness burnt into ashes.ignorant, arrogance, scarcity, atheist, femenist, rage youths, hypocrisy, fakes, weak,woman domination, selfishness.
I love that they seem so free despite their lifestyles seeming restrictive to those with a more materialistic mindset. They're very self-aware and confront challenges with curiosity and examining themselves instead of trying to use external things to fix or fulfill them
You took it so wrong to see their “ restricted with materialism “. They basically dropped all of those desires of gaining pleasure and validation from outside resources which is materialism. It’s not a restriction, it is the wisdom.
@@apureenergyme8573 I think you read my comment to mean the opposite of what I intended. I said the monk lifestyle seems restrictive to those who have a more materialistic mindset. The monks are wise and not incumbered by materialistic wants. To those who live a materialistic lifestyle, that seems restrictive.
the problem with that is your soul and your body have a rights over you and you should give them what they need, if you try to restrict your body or your soul from their needs it wont be a god choice, it will be otherwise, the wise option is to fulfil your desires in the way that God has shown you.
Two great pearls of wisdom - Ask yourself if the fulfillment of your desire is going to bring you long lasting happiness? this even works when choosing whether to indulge in certain food that may not be best for your body. I use this often and end up not buying that sweet or that crisp (chips). - Do not have expectations of others
and the one of the most hypocritical. Monks and nuns eating animal flesh ona daily basis. Owning expensive iphones and laptops. Wearing expensive clothings. Hanging out in expensive cafes and restaurant on a regular basis.
Do u Wana know different?.now it's 2024.almost 95% theriwana or hanayan buddhist converted to hindu in india and nepal.indonesia,afgan,pakistan all convert to islam.korea Japan convert to christan.but tibetan even after lost their country and lives different corner of world but no one convert to other religions.and now butan,mongol .and nepal they follow tibetan buddhism. So now you decide who has preserved better.
They are super articulate. Every response given by Buddha was the most efficient and complete. Buddhist believe not being articulate is wasting others time, that they could achieve to liberate themselves. It's a super nobel philosophy
The thumbnail on this video is very clickbaity and misleading. At no point in the video did any of the monks say, "Don't be a monk." lol Just wanted to point that out.
All of those monks basically shared almost the profound truth about life taking care mindfully of our mental wellbeing and not to fall into the trap of emotional entrapment by our unconscious ego mental behaviour. This is the only knowledge and practice humanity eventually needs in order to attain a peaceful, healthy, happy and harmous coexistence of all being. Thank you very much for sharing the most essential part of life humanity has forgotten.

@@Ylh3pson , knowledge is good. However, we in the west have been focused on it way to long. We're drowning in a ocean of knowledge. So many of us are depressed, angry, stressed etc etc. This is because we don't have wisdom of what is actually important in life at an experiential level. Our schools don't teach it, our schools don't even teach us how to deal with emotions. Our parents don't know how to do it and therefor can't teach us either. Wisdom where that internal knowledge comes from. It's from becoming peaceful and looking inside oneself. So, really it IS a knowledge I guess.

Regret is such an important aspect in Buddhism. It’s not the same as guilt. It’s lighter. It’s easier to work with. It’s easier to reflect on. It’s easier to take with us. hold your regrets close to your heart. Let them be your teacher. They will show you the dharma. Let the Dharma take you home.❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 the Buddha is the mind and the way goes nowhere❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Celibacy is the most incredibly powerful force for these monks. I also know a few Jain and Buddhist monks in India who have been celibate since birth. They exhibit remarkable calmness, emotional strength, freedom from anxiety and acute stress, high energy levels for physical movements, exceptional control over their senses and thoughts, and an iron-clad discipline. This state is profoundly empowering. As celibacy has been associated with religion, many people see it as a "forced or unnatural" pratice, disregarding the benefits.
The Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism (the oldest Tibetan School of Buddhism) does not require one to be a celibate to be a monk. Celibacy doesn't work for everyone. And the Nyingma monks also exhibit remarkable calmness, emotional strength, freedom from anxiety and acute stress, high energy levels, exceptional control over their senses and thoughts, and an iron-clad discipline. Often while also being a family man or woman, and when/if they chose to raise children, they show absolutely stunning parenting skills.
Buddhist means the person who sees the world with a different point of view 🌷💯 Buddhism teaches that different way. It teaches the reality. It shows the way to develop our mind. It is not an easy way. But if you follow that, you will definitely find 'nibbana ' may the triple gem bless you! 🙏🌷
Thank you so much for doing this! You are truly truly blessed. 😇 the mind is the instrument in relationships are the creative process. I will remember this.❤❤❤
This is really valuable advice and very wise of them! It's so true how much questions and introspection play a part in giving our lives a different meaning or direction. Their happiness seems to be eternal! ❤
It is sad for the monk who is in your thumbnail that you have a heading like don’t be a monk. It makes it seem as if he clearly said that to you, which might bring him a lot of trouble within his community. It is a gift that people are willing to share their lives and stories with you and it is a pity that this had been abused for click bait. Perhaps better to not leave damage behind you when people are so kind.
Dear Sir, The Video was very informative, your questions were really useful. Still , I request you to change thumbnail and the title of this video. Thanks ❤
Whao,Brillian, I learnt a lot from your Video,today. You made my day, Yes, we need to spend less time on Social media and focus on day today real things. Thanks❤
Be pursuit of wisdom and remember this my Dhamma friend. You shall not only forge the only path of righteousness but you inspire other to walk with you in the Noble Truth! Keep up your work my Dhamma Friend. ( Khmer Krom a Buddhist Monk, in southern part of current Vietnam).
1:19 "You have to know what you're sacrificing for. And when you know that, it doesn't really become the sacrifice." This is so true. You will believe in your mind that you are sacrificing, but once you have that meaning, there is little pain in losing that which you give up willingly. As someone who had to sacrifice my family connections for my better self, this rings true.
I have been searching for truth and bliss for 50 years and found that yoga and Buddhism have the best answers to every question... the greatest wisdom is in advaita vedanta non duality 🙏🕉️☯️☸️☮️💕
Awesome edit brother, learnt alot from that video.... wating for more conversation and voxpod like that around Dharamshala and Tsuklhakhang main temple.
Meaningful vedio. The root cause of suffering is I me myself. The day you start thinking of other sentient being before you. You will be the happiest person on this earth.
Interesting that none of them spoke about Self-Realization was what they were going for, that when you surrender to the Divine it fulfills you and then the outer world has no more control over you. It is much easier to be in a monastery than in the outside world - humanity will eventually learn how to be at peace within themselves and still live an every day human life....bringing heaven to earth is what is happening as Mother Earth is Ascending to the 5th dimension, which is more heart centered and transcending the duality matrix.
A friend of mine who practiced Zen Buddhism said a similar thing. He sid that it is easy to be at ease when all your surroundings are calm, serene and peaceful and no adversity is present. The challenge is can you do it when there is adversity and nothing is how you want it to be. I think sustained contentment arises from accepting every moment for what it is and not how you wish for it to be. Most, if not all our discontentment stems from wanting a certain reality, as opposed to accepting what is reality at any given moment. The wisdom is knowing how to navigate our desires and adversities.
lol do you know any Tibetan monastics?? Tibetan monasteries are incredibly social, scholastic, artistic, there's a heavy work-load, political, cultural, and mind training/meditation. They are essentially in a boarding university setting for Buddhism. They get up at 3am study, work, practice until 11pm. They are constantly around others in a communal living setting, studying, practicing, doing puja art, etc. and helping the community, it is incredibly social and not any easier than lay-people's lives. Buddhists do not believe in "divinity" in the traditional sense as in an external god btw
In their answers, all monks and nun were purely human-friendly, highly conscious, confident and content, happy and determined 🙏 loving kindness ❤compassion ❤connectedness in action ❤
I am an Electrical Engineer passed out of IIT Kanpur and I want to become a budhhist monk and also teach my subjects to them. Leaving materialistic life, I want to be with God wnd leave an ordinary life with peace 🕊️. Namo budhhaya❤
"I'm a Taoist, and I wholeheartedly believe in the power of simplicity. In a world that often complicates things, I find that embracing simplicity not only clarifies our goals but also enriches our experiences. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most profound truths are the simplest ones."
Wow. What an incredible functional disconnect. From these interviews on what true fulfillment and happiness is… to becoming a content creator?!? 🤯 Clash of messages. One of them even said “get offline!!!” 😂
I like Sprout videos but this one was titled wrong! These Monks are happy and didn't put forth "Regrets" that I listened too! They have it figured out and I love listening to them speak and share valuable insight. Fix this one Sprought!
🤲🤲🤲💜💜💜Hi folks! Buddhism is totally free. The Dharma is free. Happiness is free. You do not need people on the Internet telling you how to be happy. Self-confidence is key. To take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha means to take refuge within one’s self. Develop your wisdom mind. Transform your life. Make your daily life your spiritual life. When we die, the only thing we take with us is our habitual mind. Do not be a slave to habits. Do not be a slave to ego. Master your mind. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 we do not know our time of death. Young people died before old people every day. We do not know how we will die. The only thing we know is that we will die. Use this as motivation to practice the Dharma. Be grateful that you have one more day to practice. Everything is practice ~ always practice.❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
I work in and spend time in a buddhist community. Ordained monks and nuns have a purpose, a plan, a community, a daily routine and often a place to live that's paid for. My question is, how does the every day person who wishes to be deeply spiritual live a regular life in such a way as monks and nuns while simultaneously managing bills, work, a home and navigating a peaceful community and perhaps also the question of regular society with family/marriage/kids etc. Plus all the vast influence around them trying to make them fit into a certain mould. Most influences very very toxic and created from a place of compete imbalance. It affects you! It's definitely more challenging and I have seen this first hand. I think the answer must be to try and find community and people and work which aligns with your spiritual values, but, I have to say, it's definitely harder... It's almost like living in two worlds.. the buddhist community and surroundings really are peaceful. It's like being in a bubble. Step into the regular world and you really feel the harshness.... Being single or celibate for spiritual reasons outside of a spiritual community means you have to forge a different way of life for yourself and living situation in order to not get lonely and feel ostracised. Society is just not set up for that, it's set up for people to join together and have families etc. I think I'm slightly venting here. I think these types of videos can be inspiring, however, I have seen the other side to it, and ordained monks and nuns have chosen to step out of regular society for a reason. So, in a way, they are not actually in a position to talk on how to find peace for the average person. They took themselves out of society. It's much better to find someone who has mastered peace, truly, when living in a regular society. And those people, are hard to find. Most 'coaches/teachers' I have met still live with their parents as they can't afford their own place. This is because, they havn't yet mastered a way to truly find peace and manage in the regular world. Or people sell 'the answer' in expensive courses to try and pay their rent. It's all abit warped. I must be venting here. In summary, most societies are simply not set up for people to be truly and deeply spiritual. It seems as though, if you're really serious about that, perhaps it is best to take yourself off to a monastery. To master normal life and still achieve certain states daily, I think IS possible, but MUCH harder than most ever make out. - Rant done :) haha
you can show love to others in your daily basis wherever you live. Cause we are human and we all appreciate love, compassion and peace. When you show loving, kindness and people will repay you same. That way you shared positivity to all and also learn to forgive when someone is mean. Cause they are the best teacher to test your patience. You can make big difference in society, country or states. You know that Dalai Lama coded that: ‘If you think you are too small to make a difference then spend a night with a mosquito’’ 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Ye kis baklol ka dp lagaya Hai Bhai? Ye baklol hi to sabse jyada publicity leta Hai.
Lol
Celibacy is the most incredibly powerful force for these monks.
I also know a few Jain and Buddhist monks in India who have been celibate since birth. They exhibit remarkable calmness, emotional strength, freedom from anxiety and acute stress, high energy levels for physical movements, exceptional control over their senses and thoughts, and an iron-clad discipline. This state is profoundly empowering.
As celibacy has been associated with religion, many people see it as a "forced or unnatural" pratice, disregarding the benefits.
The Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism (the oldest Tibetan School of Buddhism) does not require one to be a celibate to be a monk. Celibacy doesn't work for everyone. And the Nyingma monks also exhibit remarkable calmness, emotional strength, freedom from anxiety and acute stress, high energy levels, exceptional control over their senses and thoughts, and an iron-clad discipline. Often while also being a family man or woman, and when/if they chose to raise children, they show absolutely stunning parenting skills.
It's bramcharya not celibacy.
Incredible content! This really got me thinking about some related ideas I’ve been exploring lately.
Contentment or content? Two different meanings.
@@jilllangman9343 content (as in incredible video, etc)
Once in life time ,I suggest you visit some Himalayan place and spend few days with monks..you will not regret...
Splendid footage! Deeply appreciate posting this content.
Buddhist means the person who sees the world with a different point of view 🌷💯
Buddhism teaches that different way. It teaches the reality. It shows the way to develop our mind. It is not an easy way. But if you follow that, you will definitely find 'nibbana '
may the triple gem bless you! 🙏🌷
Very cool interviews and very cool answers.
Everybody faces is clean and peace
Thank you so much for doing this! You are truly truly blessed. 😇 the mind is the instrument in relationships are the creative process. I will remember this.❤❤❤
This is really valuable advice and very wise of them! It's so true how much questions and introspection play a part in giving our lives a different meaning or direction. Their happiness seems to be eternal! ❤
Bro your thumbnail is wrong which pls change it
Ohhh man, been there for 2.5 months, and it has been one of the best times of my life :)
It is sad for the monk who is in your thumbnail that you have a heading like don’t be a monk. It makes it seem as if he clearly said that to you, which might bring him a lot of trouble within his community. It is a gift that people are willing to share their lives and stories with you and it is a pity that this had been abused for click bait. Perhaps better to not leave damage behind you when people are so kind.
Whenever i see these Buddhists' monks video, i become complacent in life. Is that good or bad? i dont know.
I enjoy listening to them.
"You have to know what you're sacrificing for and when you know that it doesn't really become a sacrifice" is gold advice
I'm favoured, $27K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.
As a beginner what do I need to do? How can I invest, on which platform? If you know any please share.
I know this lady you just mentioned. She's really good with and on her job. She's helped a couple of families and individuals' finances
She is really a good investment advisor.
I was privileged to attend some of her seminars, that's how I started my crypto investment
I have heard a lot of wonderful things about Anna Duke on the news but didn't believe it until now. I'm definitely trying her out
Started with 5,000$ and Withdrew profits
89,000$
Dear Sir,
The Video was very informative, your questions were really useful. Still , I request you to change thumbnail and the title of this video.
Thanks ❤
Click bait video caption, when does someone say "don't become a monk " in the video?
Exciting and very interesting stories 🙏🙏
Excellent interviews!
Whao,Brillian, I learnt a lot from your Video,today. You made my day, Yes, we need to spend less time on Social media and focus on day today real things. Thanks❤
Be pursuit of wisdom and remember this my Dhamma friend. You shall not only forge the only path of righteousness but you inspire other to walk with you in the Noble Truth! Keep up your work my Dhamma Friend. ( Khmer Krom a Buddhist Monk, in southern part of current Vietnam).
This video is extremely amazing. Wow
Very well done video! It is simple n educational 👍🏻
More of these please 🥺👌🏻🌱
Thankyou Handsome man ❤for bringing up this content we can learn so much here from our Tibetan monks 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕
Indulgence isn't creating suffering - the belief in a self is.
1:19 "You have to know what you're sacrificing for. And when you know that, it doesn't really become the sacrifice."
This is so true. You will believe in your mind that you are sacrificing, but once you have that meaning, there is little pain in losing that which you give up willingly. As someone who had to sacrifice my family connections for my better self, this rings true.
Regret is not the same as guilt. hold your regrets close to your heart. Let them be your teacher. Take them with you and then let them go.❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Real mistakes is when we don't learn from our mistakes ✍
I have been searching for truth and bliss for 50 years and found that yoga and Buddhism have the best answers to every question... the greatest wisdom is in advaita vedanta non duality 🙏🕉️☯️☸️☮️💕
This video is very valuable! Thank you 🙏🏾
Awesome edit brother, learnt alot from that video.... wating for more conversation and voxpod like that around Dharamshala and Tsuklhakhang main temple.
Coming soon
Thanks to nagarjuna and the great tibetan spritual leader and thanks for the books thaey saved from nalanda from getting burned..
Why are you consciously lying on the thumbnails, while making these kinds of videos.
Brother you got the best answer so far from all of my brothers save Tibet
Meaningful vedio. The root cause of suffering is I me myself. The day you start thinking of other sentient being before you. You will be the happiest person on this earth.
That female monk is on another level of spirituality ❤
amazing video. im very impressed
What beautiful video! Thank you 🙏💗
Interesting that none of them spoke about Self-Realization was what they were going for, that when you surrender to the Divine it fulfills you and then the outer world has no more control over you. It is much easier to be in a monastery than in the outside world - humanity will eventually learn how to be at peace within themselves and still live an every day human life....bringing heaven to earth is what is happening as Mother Earth is Ascending to the 5th dimension, which is more heart centered and transcending the duality matrix.
A friend of mine who practiced Zen Buddhism said a similar thing. He sid that it is easy to be at ease when all your surroundings are calm, serene and peaceful and no adversity is present. The challenge is can you do it when there is adversity and nothing is how you want it to be.
I think sustained contentment arises from accepting every moment for what it is and not how you wish for it to be. Most, if not all our discontentment stems from wanting a certain reality, as opposed to accepting what is reality at any given moment. The wisdom is knowing how to navigate our desires and adversities.
lol do you know any Tibetan monastics?? Tibetan monasteries are incredibly social, scholastic, artistic, there's a heavy work-load, political, cultural, and mind training/meditation. They are essentially in a boarding university setting for Buddhism. They get up at 3am study, work, practice until 11pm. They are constantly around others in a communal living setting, studying, practicing, doing puja art, etc. and helping the community, it is incredibly social and not any easier than lay-people's lives. Buddhists do not believe in "divinity" in the traditional sense as in an external god btw
For self realisation u need to spend atleast a month with these monks
Short video but many things to learn. Thank you. 👍
Don't come with too much expectations, it's a path for searching yourself
Thank you for intervewing Tibetans
Yes. Tibetans who claim to be compassionate and non-violent but eat large amout of meat on a daily basis. HYPOCRITES!
humility is a safe choice ... more is more ... cheerz
Thanks for sharing Indian Buddhist monks, waiting to see for more spiritual aspects.
Beautiful ❤
what in the dhoti world are you talking about?....i saw only one semi-indian(probably ladakhi) monk in the whole video.....
very wonderful interviews. Thanks. Light for our heavy heart.
In their answers, all monks and nun were purely human-friendly, highly conscious, confident and content, happy and determined 🙏 loving kindness ❤compassion ❤connectedness in action ❤
Buddhism Is Most Peaceful And Greatest Religion In This Universe ❤❤❤
this is the most wholesome video on youtube
Great interviews……one can learn many things about….Thank you.
I am an Electrical Engineer passed out of IIT Kanpur and I want to become a budhhist monk and also teach my subjects to them. Leaving materialistic life, I want to be with God wnd leave an ordinary life with peace 🕊️.
Namo budhhaya❤
"I'm a Taoist, and I wholeheartedly believe in the power of simplicity. In a world that often complicates things, I find that embracing simplicity not only clarifies our goals but also enriches our experiences. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most profound truths are the simplest ones."
Wow. What an incredible functional disconnect. From these interviews on what true fulfillment and happiness is… to becoming a content creator?!? 🤯 Clash of messages. One of them even said “get offline!!!” 😂
What does each of us want, sensory pleasure or true happiness ?
Wonderful and very useful video ❤❤❤❤❤
„The best things in life are for free.“
Namo Buddhay☸☸ Jai Bhim💙💙🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷🪷
Dont fake thumbnail to get views or we will report you
Very true to everything all the words you all said 🙏🏿. Very helpful
Realisation is the Key to your happiness and see the World as they are.....
I like Sprout videos but this one was titled wrong! These Monks are happy and didn't put forth "Regrets" that I listened too! They have it figured out and I love listening to them speak and share valuable insight. Fix this one Sprought!
What a beautiful video sharing knowledge about the ultimate happiness
🤲🤲🤲💜💜💜Hi folks! Buddhism is totally free. The Dharma is free. Happiness is free. You do not need people on the Internet telling you how to be happy. Self-confidence is key. To take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha means to take refuge within one’s self. Develop your wisdom mind. Transform your life. Make your daily life your spiritual life. When we die, the only thing we take with us is our habitual mind. Do not be a slave to habits. Do not be a slave to ego. Master your mind. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 we do not know our time of death. Young people died before old people every day. We do not know how we will die. The only thing we know is that we will die. Use this as motivation to practice the Dharma. Be grateful that you have one more day to practice. Everything is practice ~ always practice.❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Thanks ❤
I work in and spend time in a buddhist community. Ordained monks and nuns have a purpose, a plan, a community, a daily routine and often a place to live that's paid for. My question is, how does the every day person who wishes to be deeply spiritual live a regular life in such a way as monks and nuns while simultaneously managing bills, work, a home and navigating a peaceful community and perhaps also the question of regular society with family/marriage/kids etc. Plus all the vast influence around them trying to make them fit into a certain mould. Most influences very very toxic and created from a place of compete imbalance. It affects you! It's definitely more challenging and I have seen this first hand. I think the answer must be to try and find community and people and work which aligns with your spiritual values, but, I have to say, it's definitely harder... It's almost like living in two worlds.. the buddhist community and surroundings really are peaceful. It's like being in a bubble. Step into the regular world and you really feel the harshness.... Being single or celibate for spiritual reasons outside of a spiritual community means you have to forge a different way of life for yourself and living situation in order to not get lonely and feel ostracised. Society is just not set up for that, it's set up for people to join together and have families etc.
I think I'm slightly venting here. I think these types of videos can be inspiring, however, I have seen the other side to it, and ordained monks and nuns have chosen to step out of regular society for a reason. So, in a way, they are not actually in a position to talk on how to find peace for the average person. They took themselves out of society. It's much better to find someone who has mastered peace, truly, when living in a regular society. And those people, are hard to find. Most 'coaches/teachers' I have met still live with their parents as they can't afford their own place. This is because, they havn't yet mastered a way to truly find peace and manage in the regular world. Or people sell 'the answer' in expensive courses to try and pay their rent. It's all abit warped. I must be venting here. In summary, most societies are simply not set up for people to be truly and deeply spiritual. It seems as though, if you're really serious about that, perhaps it is best to take yourself off to a monastery. To master normal life and still achieve certain states daily, I think IS possible, but MUCH harder than most ever make out. - Rant done :) haha
@AwesomePikachu808 beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Where do you live? What do you do for work? 😊
you can show love to others in your daily basis wherever you live. Cause we are human and we all appreciate love, compassion and peace. When you show loving, kindness and people will repay you same. That way you shared positivity to all and also learn to forgive when someone is mean. Cause they are the best teacher to test your patience. You can make big difference in society, country or states.
You know that Dalai Lama coded that: ‘If you think you are too small to make a difference then spend a night with a mosquito’’
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Soo much of respect for all the monk and nun 🙏🏼✨
