  • That breakups can be horrifyingly painful isn’t a secret to people who have gone through one. The amount of suffering some people experience after a breakup is a symptom that something about this situation isn’t quite right.
    From a Buddhist point of view, the breakup itself isn’t the problem, because losing the people that we meet in our lifetime is a natural thing, as it’s part of the ways of an impermanent universe. The problem lies in the way we approach the idea of love, which is mainly characterized by desire and attachment.
    But true love, in the Buddhist sense, has very little to do with attachment and desire. Love shouldn’t hurt. Instead, it should be a blissful experience that benefits all people involved.
    When we suffer from a breakup there’s been too much attachment involved, to a point that we began to feel dependent on the person we’re connected with, thinking that we need this person to be happy. So, to some extent, we can compare ourselves with addicts who are separated from their drugs.
    But, there’s hope. We can build attachments, but we can free ourselves from them as well. Freedom from attachment, and certain desires, lies at the heart of the Buddhist path, which aims for enlightenment from the suffering of life.
    This video explores Buddhist teachings that can help us cope with and prevent a painful breakup.

      @sasholsuma I'm not so sure. Isn't wisdom gained by thinking about everybody else apart from yourself? You're only free, ironically, when you leave this strange conception of the self at the door and let unconditional love in. The wisdom you talk of seems to be a pathway to useful aphorisms, based on inculcated notions of "free will" (not inculcated? How else do you come to know, nevermind believe, in such conceptions?) that will help one negotiate conventional notions of "proper conduct" with much more flexibility. Much, much healthier than reproducing any kind of dogma but still based upon you, as some sort of independent thinker, distinct from other primary minds. That's not wisdom, my friend.

      What if the 'ability' to be 'attached' or not was instead a function of that particular individual at an unseen / undiscovered level?

    Realise that some love affairs are meant to confuse us, break us, improve us. Being dumped by the person you love the most might just be your greatest chance of becoming a better person. Such a profound and painful loss might even lead to our ultimate salvation. Let go of grief and feel the energy, then start to love all the good and the bad life throws at you. Most importantly: Love yourself even more profoundly than your ex once loved you while all was well.

      And you don't miss the person? I'm having a hard time after my breakup because I miss them. I miss laughing with them, watching our favorite shows, eating our favorite meals together. I miss my companion. I never needed them to be happy. I also have great friends and family I spend time with. But I deeply miss the fun I had with my ex significant other. I miss my best friend. That is something that really bothers me. Yes I can live without them, I do love myself and am improving on myself everyday. But i have moments where I guess my grief is missing them. Missing the happiness I had with them because it doesn't compare to the samw happiness I have with anyone else. I do love myself but their companionship really brought me joy. I guess I simply have to learn to understand that that was a moment in time and that time is over. How do I stop missing them?

      When a 9 year relationship I had broke up , I was so unhappy and moved out of town. Three ,months later he was over it, and a year later he was married, even though he said he didn't want that.... I was in the tunnel until someone said, "You were his interim angel." That allowed me to still love him but from a distance. That was 2011 and I still say good night to him every night.

    "Chances are that we don't even want this person, we simply want to be free from pain". Exactly how I feel about my current relationship. All he does is lie and then when I expose him he love bombs me. I see through it now and I'm tired of repeating the cycle. I'm trying to find my own place, but trying to break up with someone you LIVE with is extremely hard. I wish I had never moved in with him. I feel trapped now.

      You can do it! The right choices for ourselves are usually the hardest ones. You just need to take that leap and commit to changing your life for the better. It will definitely be hard and a lot of things in your life will have to change, but if you don't, you will constantly wonder "what if". Commit to creating the best reality for yourself!

    Unconditional love is an almost unattainable goal for most humans in today's age. Their mind is way too fragmented and wounded. Even many spiritual leaders can't practice it all the time. A better negociation of the relationship terms/boundaries, coupled with self-inquiry before, during and after the relationship, is a more reasonable goal for most humans today.

    • @sterix_gg
      @sterix_gg 3 роки тому +7

      Even so, the strive itself is a good thing. Also I wouldn't blame it on a wounded mind, you wouldn't exactly call the idea of monogamy a wound and yet it's the most common condition in any relationship. So common, it's not even spoken of but simply presumed. The problem I'd say originates from being brought up in a world where most things and most people that one comes in contact with, teach you in one form or another to first and foremost or pretty much always even, look outwards rather than inwards. Or simply put, the focus is placed almost exclusively on the world without rather than the world within. It is a feeling that everyone ultimately is after, whatever the attainment desired, it is desired for one knows, consciously or not, that with it there will come a feeling, a feeling that can not seem to be produced is it not for the outside attainment, whatever that may be.
      And the trick, if we're to call it that, is in the realization that feelings are the product of thoughts and that thoughts don't really have to reflect the world without. To have one's thoughts be a product of reality is to be reactionary. It is to be the effect rather than the cause, for the only way to be the cause is to think deliberately in accordance with how you want to feel.
      And one can really only think in 2 ways - positive or negative.
      We are what we think and we feel what we think and through the law of attraction, everything else is a result of that in one way or another. But that makes little sense to a mind so habitually focused on the outside. A mind like that, if presented with the question of "what does it want" would much more often than not, point to something outside. When ultimately, what everyone wants... is happiness. And we think... what better way to attain that than getting together with this person over there which we're so attracted to. And then the person goes away and we don't even know what to think anymore. As reluctant as we might be to admit it, things do tend to come and go and so do people. Everything seems to be transitional and the only thing that can truly be ours... is our thoughts. Oneself is what one is stuck with for the rest of their life and so one better find a way to first and foremost build a good relationship with themselves. It's not that Buddhism is against romantic relationships, the point is however that one enters such not to fuel their happiness but merely to compliment it which brings us right back to the question of unconditional happiness and what the hell is even that. Can one truly be unconditionally happy? The point isn't so much in being happy even at the face of great misfortune but rather to realize that one's happiness should not be based on the external for it is the external that one can never have control over and if one has no control over this which they base their happiness on, then that happiness is anything but unconditional.
      This all might come across as rather mystical but it's very simple for the world within is the world of thought. And thought isn't just a voice in one's head, it's the pictures too, it's the visualizations, it's the daydreams...
      The world within is where one lives first and foremost, the world without is but a reflection of it - as inside so outside.
      "But before the mind can create the world - the world creates the mind." A mind always operating from the basis of memory is a mind looking backwards while hoping to go forward. This isn't saying "forget that the stove is hot and touch it again", the past has value for its lessons, but it should not be what one identifies with. And so to think and therefore always choose based on past experiences is to create a future based on the past. That is how nothing ever changes. If the answers were in the past, we'd have seen them. To create the dream future one has to... well, dream it first. This is called "future oriented thinking". This is what visualization is all about, but most of us were taught to be realistic and so we wouldn't allow ourselves to dream big, we dream only as far as our past allows us to, which often isn't much. But thoughts turn to things and the mind was creating the world all along, the problem is it was creating it by default, based on what reality suggested to be possible. This is important for deliberate thinking is deliberate creation. A positive mind will mostly produce positive results, and this if truly realized is suppose to take one's attention off the past and ease their worry of the future, in affect less and less hijacking their focus from the present. Because it is in the present that one lives. This seems to be the most difficult truth to understand. It isn't to say that one's goal is unimportant, quite the opposite - it's vital for without a distant destination, a vision of a desired future, one would not begin the journey at all. Everyone needs a distant goal towards which to strive but in traveling towards it one should keep in mind that as sure as much as the destination already reached and left behind, the purpose of it is not so much a resting place but rather the reason for the trip. "Where a person goes is not nearly as important as how he gets there. That a house is built is not important, it’s the manner in which it’s built that makes it great, poor or average. That we live is not nearly as important as the manner in which we live. I think it’s in misunderstanding this that often keeps people in a state of unhappiness and anxiety. They forget what they’re really looking for or what they should be looking for - the discovery of themselves." But this sounds so foreign already. What the hell does it even mean to discover oneself? Most people, if they're to associate it with anything at all, do so in the way of thinking that they have to someway somehow find a way to be deemed worthy, but that is yet another external attainment. The discovery of oneself has nothing to do with others. The discovery of oneself is self-sufficiency of being. To be ok with oneself, as they are where they are. Because the only difference between loneliness and solitude... is in one's head. The realization that life is ultimately a game and that by design, games were meant to be fun. And that as Allan Watts once said "the only thing that can be bad is to take it seriously", for when you take a game seriously, you take the fun out of it. And life was meant to be fun. It is reality that taught us how to complicate it. The basis of one's life is freedom. The purpose of one's life is happiness and the result of life is growth. So one needs to free their mind, for external freedom can never be achieved unless internal such is present first. "Whatever it is you’re looking for must first be found within yourself, whether it be peace, happiness, riches or great accomplishments. Everything we do outwardly is only an expression of what we are inwardly. To ask for anything else is as absurd as looking for apples on an oak tree."
      As dissatisfying as it may sound, one is either happy right now, or they aren't, period. The past is not to be blamed and the future is yet to be created. And one's past was once their future and so the only difference between yesterday and tomorrow... is today. The only difference between the past and the future... is in the now. What are you thinking right now? And more importantly, how is it making you feel?

    I'm really moved by this because I experienced something similar the day before yesterday. Me and my boyfriend broke up in February, no contact since then for my choice. Yesterday I saw a friend we still share and she told me that he always asks her how I am, to which I answered "I'm glad he's fine, I wish him all the good in this world" and I teared up a little bit. In that moment I realised I've finally forgiven him and I can move on. And also that my feelings for him were true. It's been so heart wrenching yet powerful. Now I'm free.

    Look at relationships as a mirror. Every relationship is perfect. Because it is through the intimate relationship that you get to see how you yet have to grow, how you need to heal your inner self. Until we are mostly healed we will keep using relationships for the wrong reasons.
    The wrong reasons are for dependency, needs for being possessed, for possessing the other, for control, because it’s a repetition of what you did as a child with your parent.
    If your parents kind of expected things from you, needed things from you, controlled you, conditionally accepted you, that’s what you’re going to repeat in most relationships until you awaken, until you heal your inner child so you don’t need the other to fulfill you. Otherwise you will always attracts what is familiar to you.
    But there is a big difference between the need for love and being needy for love.
    And romantic love is really predicated on the inner void. It preys on our inner hunger that it fools us to believe that that hunger can be filled by somebody on the outside. And you cannot love yourself until you heal yourself.
    Good luck everyone when you are going through a breakup while you are still being attached to the persona of that person, attached to whatever you think you are losing. Sending you so much love💝💝💝

    It is curious but wonderful how your videos come at the perfect timing. On the past days I ended a relationship that had been very painful. I wish her the best.
    Thank you, pal.

    I found the buddist point of view of love so comforting and helpful. I still love the person I broke up with, but letting go of the attachment I felt for him has help me a great deal.

    Watching this video disipated all my anxiety after my breakup, you made me realize that love should first be directed inwards and expressed outwards in a free maner. People should not attempt to make each other happy, but strive to independently find fufilment in themselves and express the love generated by fulfilment towards each other and towards the people around them.

    The part where he theorizes that the longer we are able to be independent the less we will feel co dependent, uhm... not happening for me as of yet. I have been single for at least 5 years. I only have the desire to be in the presence of one person, (the object of my obsession/adoration), whom I haven't even spoke to in close to a year. I have reasoned from every possible angle to free myself of the horrible addiction /love's grip. I have come to believe that, we are a small part of the larger whole. We, with some sense of etheric empathy, feel the feelings of others (not with everybody though, which is why it feels so special), via waves and/or frequencies. Then, possibly mistake those unshakable feelings for our own. I believe this is what has happened to me. I guess that being said, I just have to allow it to pass through me. Please excuse this mess of a comment, this was hard for me to explain. Lol

    • @bashvash

      Share those feelings or let go! Don't spend your whole life wondering, and if it doesn't work out, do so in a a way you can hold your head high and respect yourself. Until you reach out it's ALL in your head. Good luck friend
