This is a gold nugget. We always think about wasting time = doing nothing. It is true, what is worse is wasting time by doing a lot that isnt in alignment with yourself. Thank you !!
@The Hard Stuff This is only your personal interpretation of certain actions. What does it mean zero positive benefits? What are the criteria of it? Personal judgement based on your mood? Waste of time can be applied to smth you have done and then regret about it but even in that way your actions changed the reality bringing you somewhere else. Life is about getting full range of sensations and in order to get it we have act by changing the current reality. Whatever you do in life you change it and that change contribute to the global change of what humanity is doing each second.

I am 46 years of age and I just starting absorbing the masters teachings and I can say that I have learned so much. My attitude has shifted and so has my life.
Joe, you say your life has changed because of this master, with a shift in attitude and abundant learning. It was, for me, about the same age that I felt something was missing and so my journey began, as well. May we, and I mean ALL of us never stop being in the flowing of that river. Blessings, Joe.
@@larbueno Interesting that it also started around 46 for me, about two years ago. I'm still just starting to get it. My mind is so all over the place it's taking a long time. I just read two books by Michael A Singer, The Surrender Experiment and The Untethered Soul. The way he lived is just very inspiring. At first it was a bit hard to believe but I believe everything he said that happened to him. Because I do think it's possible. You might like those books. Btw, the first book was read by the author if you get the audiobook. Listening to him talk about everything that he experienced was something extra you wouldn't get from reading the book.
@@SamBorgman I've heard good things about The Untethered Soul. Maybe it's about time for me to read a good book cover to cover. Thanks! I know a great guy from my Illinois past named Mark Borgman. Probably 68. Excellent man!

To be single minded. To set goals and work towards it. Or you’re wasting time. This reminds me of the saying, ‘if you don’t know what port you’re sailing, no wind is favorable. ‘
I just follow the current and when I find a port that is comfortable I add it too my life. Fighting the inevitablities of life is part making sure your boat is secure, and part accepting that you cannot change the wind or currents. Maybe all we can do is bring some others with us to somewhere closer to our wanted destination.

I am confident. I was taught by the Devine. I studied about 7 types of Buddhism. it was about truth and compassion. Putting good deeds before your own happiness. I have not done enough though. It might be feeding the birds, which may have spread love all over the world. I saw healthy nature praying about it, I attract it back. The birds were not here. I wished them back, they came back. It was my love that brought it.
it's incredible how i feel peace in my mind when i listen him to talk about life and perspectives.. i'm from belgium, my english is not perfect (i'm a french guy) but i understand perfectly all sentences and messages that you give us ! thanks for that !
There are alot of people, that will put in a lot of Time & effort on a particular goal towards a life plan, that doesn't pan out or bare fruit, this is part of life for many of us. Not every one who wants to be successful will be successful,, if success was so easy then everyone would be successful. there will always be winners & losers in the game of life.
I love how he says he prepared tea for a purpose. So Buddhist. When it is our quality time I hate it when people are in their phones, especially when you try hard to prepare a comfortable atmosphere to spend time and talk.
The guy says: remain calm, don't do anything, because everything will eventually be gone, including our achievements. Nice advice to get old and get seriously depressed.
THIS video has taught me, that I am definitely not wasting my time, when I invest it in a good quality massage.!!! That (1) hour I spend on the table I invested back into my health. ------- When I meditate for a few minutes, that helps the brain slow down thus slowing the aging process. --------- Patting my cat, helps my health. Taking a walk, helps my knees and heart rate. I don't make any money doing these things, but I would rather die than do any more work wasting my time in this one very precious life that I am honoured to get to live..!!!
In our society we are unfortunately not tought about the preciousness of every moment in life and how to become a master in living a good life. We definitely waste the most of our time and also the time of the people we have often contact with. We are too much focused on the material aspects in our live, like money, aquiring things, career and our egotistical needs, because we are told that these are intentions that matter. I was suspicious of that since my childhood, but it took me a long way to learn what really matters in life and even more important who I really am from mystics and spiritual masters. Thank you for this nice short interview as a reminder!
My dad died at the age of 62. I found him dead on the floor in May 2022... So I'm very, very aware of how fragile life is, and how short it can be. Too many people expect to grow old. But we can never know for sure how old we'll get.
If the entire world was to carry themselves in this matter, government would not be needed. We do not need to be lead if we know how to lead ourselves.
The older you get, the more time seems to "fly". Live "aware of awareness" and be fulfilled without the dimension of time (which ultimately does not exist at all, not only according to modern physicist !
Hello from north wales Lucky enough to retire at 55 now 65 no health worries so far. You definitely need a hobby, I read, walk, not too much I’m lazy! Play the baritone ukulele, listen to prog rock, go down the pub once a week. 10 years have just flown, don’t fall into the pub in the day slot too much! We all know where that leads,and the more holidays you go on the faster it goes. Honestly, 55 to 65 a real accelerated BLUR!
Like Frodo, after the fight on the hilltop and standing at the river, remembered Gandalf saying, "you just have to make up your mind what you want to do with the time you have remaining...thank you
These words touched my soul. This man is actually explaining and teaching how to live a better life with no effort, just let life happen and is helping you to decide in alignment of your desires. What is bringing us joy and happiness? is it what you're doing now? how do you consider your present? if you feel empty and if you think you're wasting time you're actually wasting it,"Your actions in this timeframe are limited, time is not, but your time in YOUR life is. What are you going to do about it?
Just beautiful ! Words of wisdom without the "normal" background noise ("music"). More of these pearls of wisdoms are needed as a encouraging reminder.
Much-needed wisdom, I adore you so much Master Shi Heng Yi! 🤗 You came into my life just recently..... I wholeheartedly believe that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear, indeed he has! 🤩 I appreciate you and all your knowledge.... Such wisdom my friend 🙌🪘💃🪇
The takeaway is to be honest with your intentions, which is another way of saying to be honest with yourself. If you know who you are and what you want you will have a clear idea of what kind of life you want to live and what your goals should be.After that all you would have to do is work toward your goals all the while being honest with your intentions. I've struggled with this so much when I was in college and grad school and I can't even count the hours and days I've wasted trying to get work done but having nothing to show for it. It was so frustrating that it made me so angry with myself. It's so refreshing to have it articulate the way Shi Heng Yi has. It's some solid life advice.
❤ I love this it so real, time it's self precious it's not something to take for granted, time on this Earth is not easy it is a challenge, but I rather challenge myself to learn, and not take anything at all ever each and every day and each and every person I learn from is a gift of knowledge through this journey of my life ❤️🦋🌻🦋🌻
Most of you are digging a hole while sand is falling back in it, then getting shocked and thinking you must dig twice as hard. I was also digging until I found the answer, now I sit calmly in my hole and and gently take a spoon and move the sand out. Same result, less stress, less effort.
Its not the fault of any..remember..we were manipulated and taught this at birth to adulthood..but now that we have overstanding..we can now ..right where you are...start removing all these veils and find our true nature, power and purpose...together ❤ 🤲
Shi Heng Yi's videos helped me very much when I was going through a traumatic time in my life. His words, calm demeanor and wisdom are priceless. I pray more people hear him and take what he is saying to heart. The general population do not truly understand what life is about. 🙏
you bring me hope! I am a 53 old model, getting hold before it was kind of sadness in my life but now after get listening to you it bring me deffrent kind of look of me wich make me want to go forword , many thanks...
I love Shi Heng Yi. So wise! If everything is energy and the results of one’s actions are not apparent on the material plane that doesn’t mean one’s efforts are in vain. If someone goes deep inside to heal ancestral traumas for example, that healing has value forwards and backwards in time, but that person doing the healing may not have anything material to show for it. Despite that, it doesn’t mean the value of that life is lessened.
It's times like these that I wish there was something more that I could do than just like and subscribe to show appreciation. This man has truly rare virtue.
So i got from that 1, decide what u want from your life and your time left, and 2 fill that time with quality time to meet that goal or achieve/do what u want. And 3, make sure things are in and stay in alignment to do that.
Finding the suprise beyond the intention (not the ones that you had arriving which were disappointing -BUT THE *GOOD* THAT RECTIFIES THEM AND ERASES WHICH!)
We all do things on automatic mode, but these teachers remind us that paying close attention, to anything we do and any thoughts that come up in our minds, brings about a peace and happiness in itself. Then the thoughts let go by themselves like clouds rolling away, since we only look at them and don't grasp them. Sure, we can find temporary happiness in outer things but it does not satisfy very long and it only disappoints unless we focus on our mind itself which is the true source of happiness. While doing this, it's helpful to breathe more from our waist out ("belly breathing") to stimulate the Vagus Nerve and to have an anchor for the mind-watching. That brings happiness in itself and is the best way to spend life and then we should have the intention of wanting that for everyone.
One man's trash is another man's treasure. A waste of time depends on what the individual thinks was waste. Yet today's waste can be recycled to tomorrow's opportunity.
I agree on this point, time flies, but above all the element that can make you nostalgic is when you reach this climax, where you realize that there is no going back and that's why, it is important to plan well, depending on your situation as it varies from person to person. (easier said than done)
Interessant: es ist nicht entscheidend,was ich mir fürs Leben wünsche,sondern was das Leben( Universum) sich für mich wünscht. Danke Shifu Shi Heng Yi.👍🍀🤘🙏
"doing a lot of thing and investing a lot of effort and energy but in the end not achieving anything." i felt that. i know that you need to keep fighting. but sometimes it doesn't bear any results. and that frustrates me.
very powerful words. things that important in life is not what you like, things that matters are the thing you need to do in your life. for example, they prepare tea for this podcast because they want to make sure that during the talks their mouth don't get dry, even though at the end they didn't drink it, the tea is still useful, however if they prepared beer in the table, even though they want to drink it, but they can't so the preparation is useless. this is my understanding on "doing more but zero outcome= waste"
This understanding of living our lives with purpose that is fruitful is one I can understand, my own life in retrospect (LOOKING BACK) is a life I can see where there are holes that I wasn't mature enough to fill, one very helpful action on my part was to open a home ownership account at my bank, I was fortunate to be able to catch up in my 30th year and secure a home loan, if I was more alert or aware earlier I would be even more prosperous in my judgement for long term life choices.. I always say to anyone of a younger age, LIFE IS A RACE AGAINST TIME ( meaning the end of your life ) you need to be positive about where you as an individual want out of this lifetime & NOT BE COMPLACENT.
As a American I learn so much from these videos in the aspect of being a better man for all living things, genuinely as cliche as that sounds I walk away from watching these videos a better version of myself and the want to learn and continue growing I’ve been caught up in the rat race for so long fear, greed, ignorance and unethical thinking has made me dislike the man in the mirror hopefully one day that will fully change 🙏🏻
The Bible’s Proverbs, psalms, Jobs verses, parables of Jesus. Dhammapadas suttas of Gautama, the pairs, the flowers, diligence, the king elephant, the fool, the wise. Marcus Aurelius, meditations, Epictetus, Seneca. The Tao to Ching, from Lao tzu and followed by Confucius of the dao. Don’t forget what David said in psalms, he says oh how good it is to be among brethren, he was at his temples as we who follow Christianity as well should be in church, don’t forget about the fellowship. It’s the same with Gautama who delighted to be among the monks and gurus, so do not forget to rejoice among your temples as well. Mind, Body, Spirit. Work, Gym, church. Through suffering I find joy, through adversity I find myself getting closer to stability, where there is no struggle there is no progress, but just have to make sure I’m investing my time in majoring in major things, and not majoring in minor things, calendar, time management, and money management. Circle prayer is better than praying alone, meditating with fellow monks and Buddhist is better than meditating alone, working out with someone is better than working out alone. Thanks again Master Shi and daily stoic. Being blunt and honest, when I peered and studied in stoicism and Epicureanism, I found great confidence in facing my adversity, but going with it as a modem, I say that it was pragmatic thinking. Which is very detrimental, a slow tedious process, contemptment and small steps, leaves you not well in a modem. Stoicism has too much doubts, questions and is ultimately a pragmatic way of life. Pragmatic modem. When I studied the Dhammapada, and eastern philosophies, and spiritual manners of Hinduism, it has a more well tuned flow, it has much more value for money, friendship and harmony with relationships. It is deemed as a practical modem, always flow, always move, and always use common sense. Practical modem. While the Bible, Quran, and Gita, shows a well rounded rhythm, letting go of figuring things out, let go of doubting, let go of fear, and trust in the higher power, movement, fundamentals, principles and virtuous should be automatic. We must go on following the prophets statutes and commandments, in this I find the best modem and rhythm, which is mystical, mysticism is by far the best way of living, all the teachings are in the Bible and other holy books, all we have to do is partake in the life by abiding in the rules and laws givin by the prophets, this is tuned in well with em, by far the greatest is when I practice scripture properly, I slip and stumble sometimes but when I do as our holy books and fellowship does, I find my self making the greatest progress and fulfillment. Thank you daily stoic and Masted Shi.
Doing nothing is not a waste of time at all if you do it with your whole heart and soul. It's the only time you are within time, floating in it, and not chasing after it or being chased by it. It's just that doing nothing has to be alternated with doing something, and that should be done with your whole heart and soul as well. Living life with deliberation is the key, reframing productivity to what satisfies you as opposed to what makes you a statistical success.
Bro, time is running out, and we must have a good time with the almighty God. That's the only purpose of this life. Everything else is just a waiting time.
This directly goes against the buddhist teachings of letting go (of attachment). You don't want to judge whether it's a "valuable experience" or a "waste of time", you should just fully experience whatever you're doing, regardless of outcome. Even with just modern western standards: complaining that you have to do something that is not "in alignment with your wishes" is not very useful. Everyone has their responsibilities, and not all of them are voluntary or pleasant. I do agree with the last part though: if you have to do something, even if it's something that you don't want, you should try to do it with intention, with presence. You might learn something, you might enjoy it a bit.
Wasted time is probably one of the most painful ways to learn your mistakes. If there was anything I wish my parents tried harder to teach me, it would be the value of time.
VERY nice. when talking about quality time , french, italian approach would do too :) maximum of ease and pleasure in the air, despite... tea still to be prepared, but the one who talks about quality feeling while consuming it....already radiates it ...because remembers it ....by ....heart. fingertips gathered to one point , waved in the air near the lips, indicating joy and quality. that, and eastern approach, surrounding - heaven on earth without big luxury. magic
There is a huge difference between mid 20s or even early 20s and late 30s and beyond. I wish I had discovered Stoicism 15 years ago. Late 30s: you try and try and try, but you just must beware of so many constraints you wish were not there.
What one commoners can do is to accumulate purity (positive-do goods, help others & generosity with sincerity) and refrain defilement (negative). Be of service to the community and learn wisdom through buddha' s books recorded during his lifetime. Be your own cultivator, follow the path he has taught and guidance of great masters (achievers). Although, they may not have achieve buddhahood, at least they achieve some level of mastery. So one can reduce mistakes during cultivation
Good advice. On a practical level to tap into the Infinite Absolute (Sat-Chit-Ananda), access "Mahamritunjaya mantra - Sacred Sounds Choir". Listen to it for 5 min per day for at least two weeks and experience (Samadhi, called Satori in Buddhism.)
Intention is a great word choice. Do not wander around in this lifetime without some form of direction. The good thing about direction is that it doesnn't necessarily need to be a grand long term goal. Some key ideas about how you want to spend your life and what you want to bring to this world is enough guidence; feel free to go around and test many things - just make sure you have some idea of an intention behind it!

such an amazing man … life is all about quality & intention
Live with intention is one of the messages I received from Master Shi
"Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeding at something that doesnt really matter..
Live with mindfulness is what I take from this video.
I love the Buddhist way of life seems that everything has a reason
This is actually taoism
Cause indeed everything is 🙏

Shi Heng Yi's videos helped me very much when I was going through a traumatic time in my life. His words, calm demeanor and wisdom are priceless. I pray more people hear him and take what he is saying to heart. The general population do not truly understand what life is about. 🙏
bull
you bring me hope! I am a 53 old model, getting hold before it was kind of sadness in my life but now after get listening to you it bring me deffrent kind of look of me wich make me want to go forword , many thanks...
I love Shi Heng Yi. So wise!
If everything is energy and the results of one’s actions are not apparent on the material plane that doesn’t mean one’s efforts are in vain. If someone goes deep inside to heal ancestral traumas for example, that healing has value forwards and backwards in time, but that person doing the healing may not have anything material to show for it. Despite that, it doesn’t mean the value of that life is lessened.
It's times like these that I wish there was something more that I could do than just like and subscribe to show appreciation. This man has truly rare virtue.

changed my day, maybe my life, sometimes we just need to remember things like these
So i got from that 1, decide what u want from your life and your time left, and 2 fill that time with quality time to meet that goal or achieve/do what u want. And 3, make sure things are in and stay in alignment to do that.
“It is better to remain calm and do nothing-“

Thank you Master Shi Heng

Finding the suprise beyond the intention (not the ones that you had arriving which were disappointing -BUT THE *GOOD* THAT RECTIFIES THEM AND ERASES WHICH!)
Life is all about a good cup of tea is what I'm hearing.
We all do things on automatic mode, but these teachers remind us that paying close attention, to anything we do and any thoughts that come up in our minds, brings about a peace and happiness in itself. Then the thoughts let go by themselves like clouds rolling away, since we only look at them and don't grasp them. Sure, we can find temporary happiness in outer things but it does not satisfy very long and it only disappoints unless we focus on our mind itself which is the true source of happiness. While doing this, it's helpful to breathe more from our waist out ("belly breathing") to stimulate the Vagus Nerve and to have an anchor for the mind-watching. That brings happiness in itself and is the best way to spend life and then we should have the intention of wanting that for everyone.
I follow him since pademic start and enjoyed his online lessons. Nice to see him in stoic content
One man's trash is another man's treasure. A waste of time depends on what the individual thinks was waste. Yet today's waste can be recycled to tomorrow's opportunity.
I agree on this point, time flies, but above all the element that can make you nostalgic is when you reach this climax, where you realize that there is no going back and that's why, it is important to plan well, depending on your situation as it varies from person to person. (easier said than done)
Intentions are so important. I am so glad he made this video, he is very wise
I'm in my 50th year. Everyday above ground is a good one. 👍
Amazing, thank you Master Shi🙂🙏❣
I'll save this on my watch later list
TRY to experience your life fully but with good intentions / actions / meanings
There is no time. Only NOW.
You are wonderful to listen to you,,, thank you xx
Thank you for yourself 🙏
Interessant: es ist nicht entscheidend,was ich mir fürs Leben wünsche,sondern was das Leben( Universum) sich für mich wünscht. Danke Shifu Shi Heng Yi.👍🍀🤘🙏
Spoken with compassion.
Master Yi’s teaching + Jocko’s advice= Good Life
"doing a lot of thing and investing a lot of effort and energy but in the end not achieving anything."
i felt that. i know that you need to keep fighting. but sometimes it doesn't bear any results. and that frustrates me.
very powerful words. things that important in life is not what you like, things that matters are the thing you need to do in your life. for example, they prepare tea for this podcast because they want to make sure that during the talks their mouth don't get dry, even though at the end they didn't drink it, the tea is still useful, however if they prepared beer in the table, even though they want to drink it, but they can't so the preparation is useless. this is my understanding on "doing more but zero outcome= waste"
"What life wishes for you" reminds me of a similar quote from Abraham Hicks and also of the 'true self' idea of Carl Jung.
And I wanna say .. big thanks to the channel for helping bring this along .. you probably don't get much of a mention..
This understanding of living our lives with purpose that is fruitful is one I can understand, my own life in retrospect (LOOKING BACK) is a life I can see where there are holes that I wasn't mature enough to fill, one very helpful action on my part was to open a home ownership account at my bank, I was fortunate to be able to catch up in my 30th year and secure a home loan, if I was more alert or aware earlier I would be even more prosperous in my judgement for long term life choices.. I always say to anyone of a younger age, LIFE IS A RACE AGAINST TIME ( meaning the end of your life ) you need to be positive about where you as an individual want out of this lifetime & NOT BE COMPLACENT.
It made great sense. I will look at all my intentions and interactions today and going forward. Thank you.
Respect love and gratitude
I really needed to hear this message
This was the most valuable talk so far
As a American I learn so much from these videos in the aspect of being a better man for all living things, genuinely as cliche as that sounds I walk away from watching these videos a better version of myself and the want to learn and continue growing I’ve been caught up in the rat race for so long fear, greed, ignorance and unethical thinking has made me dislike the man in the mirror hopefully one day that will fully change 🙏🏻
I never get tired by listening this wise human over and over over again...
that is called addiction, and is called wasting your time.
This message 🙏🙏🙏⏳good from the ears
That was a jarring abrupt ending
Thank you for this video - Very interesting and meaningful! Much love to all of you here in the comment section ❤⚛❤⚛
The Bible’s Proverbs, psalms, Jobs verses, parables of Jesus.
Dhammapadas suttas of Gautama, the pairs, the flowers, diligence, the king elephant, the fool, the wise.
Marcus Aurelius, meditations, Epictetus, Seneca.
The Tao to Ching, from Lao tzu and followed by Confucius of the dao.
Don’t forget what David said in psalms, he says oh how good it is to be among brethren, he was at his temples as we who follow Christianity as well should be in church, don’t forget about the fellowship.
It’s the same with Gautama who delighted to be among the monks and gurus, so do not forget to rejoice among your temples as well.
Mind, Body, Spirit.
Work, Gym, church.
Through suffering I find joy, through adversity I find myself getting closer to stability, where there is no struggle there is no progress, but just have to make sure I’m investing my time in majoring in major things, and not majoring in minor things, calendar, time management, and money management.
Circle prayer is better than praying alone, meditating with fellow monks and Buddhist is better than meditating alone, working out with someone is better than working out alone.
Thanks again Master Shi and daily stoic.
Being blunt and honest, when I peered and studied in stoicism and Epicureanism, I found great confidence in facing my adversity, but going with it as a modem, I say that it was pragmatic thinking. Which is very detrimental, a slow tedious process, contemptment and small steps, leaves you not well in a modem. Stoicism has too much doubts, questions and is ultimately a pragmatic way of life.
Pragmatic modem.
When I studied the Dhammapada, and eastern philosophies, and spiritual manners of Hinduism, it has a more well tuned flow, it has much more value for money, friendship and harmony with relationships. It is deemed as a practical modem, always flow, always move, and always use common sense.
Practical modem.
While the Bible, Quran, and Gita, shows a well rounded rhythm, letting go of figuring things out, let go of doubting, let go of fear, and trust in the higher power, movement, fundamentals, principles and virtuous should be automatic. We must go on following the prophets statutes and commandments, in this I find the best modem and rhythm, which is mystical, mysticism is by far the best way of living, all the teachings are in the Bible and other holy books, all we have to do is partake in the life by abiding in the rules and laws givin by the prophets, this is tuned in well with em, by far the greatest is when I practice scripture properly, I slip and stumble sometimes but when I do as our holy books and fellowship does, I find my self making the greatest progress and fulfillment.
Thank you daily stoic and Masted Shi.
Thank you so much Shi Heng Yi!
Doing nothing is not a waste of time at all if you do it with your whole heart and soul. It's the only time you are within time, floating in it, and not chasing after it or being chased by it. It's just that doing nothing has to be alternated with doing something, and that should be done with your whole heart and soul as well. Living life with deliberation is the key, reframing productivity to what satisfies you as opposed to what makes you a statistical success.
THANK YOU SIR PLEASE KEEP UP POSITIVE OF LIFE.
Bro, time is running out, and we must have a good time with the almighty God. That's the only purpose of this life. Everything else is just a waiting time.
I love this man.
haha MOMENTO MORI at the end
This directly goes against the buddhist teachings of letting go (of attachment).
You don't want to judge whether it's a "valuable experience" or a "waste of time", you should just fully experience whatever you're doing, regardless of outcome.
Even with just modern western standards: complaining that you have to do something that is not "in alignment with your wishes" is not very useful. Everyone has their responsibilities, and not all of them are voluntary or pleasant.
I do agree with the last part though: if you have to do something, even if it's something that you don't want, you should try to do it with intention, with presence. You might learn something, you might enjoy it a bit.
Wasted time is probably one of the most painful ways to learn your mistakes.
If there was anything I wish my parents tried harder to teach me, it would be the value of time.
VERY nice. when talking about quality time , french, italian approach would do too :) maximum of ease and pleasure in the air, despite... tea still to be prepared, but the one who talks about quality feeling while consuming it....already radiates it ...because remembers it ....by ....heart. fingertips gathered to one point , waved in the air near the lips, indicating joy and quality. that, and eastern approach, surrounding - heaven on earth without big luxury. magic
There is a huge difference between mid 20s or even early 20s and late 30s and beyond. I wish I had discovered Stoicism 15 years ago. Late 30s: you try and try and try, but you just must beware of so many constraints you wish were not there.
Need this right now
doing a lot is nothing unless you serve the holly truth the God
Amazing! Explains a lot.
What one commoners can do is to accumulate purity (positive-do goods, help others & generosity with sincerity) and refrain defilement (negative). Be of service to the community and learn wisdom through buddha' s books recorded during his lifetime. Be your own cultivator, follow the path he has taught and guidance of great masters (achievers). Although, they may not have achieve buddhahood, at least they achieve some level of mastery. So one can reduce mistakes during cultivation
Good advice. On a practical level to tap into the Infinite Absolute (Sat-Chit-Ananda), access "Mahamritunjaya mantra - Sacred Sounds Choir". Listen to it for 5 min per day for at least two weeks and experience (Samadhi, called Satori in Buddhism.)
Intention is a great word choice. Do not wander around in this lifetime without some form of direction. The good thing about direction is that it doesnn't necessarily need to be a grand long term goal. Some key ideas about how you want to spend your life and what you want to bring to this world is enough guidence; feel free to go around and test many things - just make sure you have some idea of an intention behind it!
