Thank you for your video Antonio. I am learning Buddhism and still trying hard to awaken. I am anxious quite a lot particularly about losing my job and not being good enough and afraid of failing at work. Do you know how I can get over this? Thank you 🙏
Hey Marvo, First of all, I’m really grateful for your message, and I deeply appreciate you sharing your story. I also think Buddhism (especially Zen Buddhism) is particularly profound when it comes to waking up from the illusion of the “I.” Let me tell you this: Don’t try to awaken. Don’t force yourself to achieve anything. Don’t resist your anxiety or fears. Simply watch. Observe them as you would watch a flock of birds flying past in the sky-just take note. I know this can be challenging. The “ego” is that which wants to force, achieve, or know-all essentially attempts to stay in control. To observe means to become aware of the activity of your mind and no longer engage with it. It means seeing that you are not your thoughts but the one who observes them. Anxiety and the fear of failure often stem from how you were brought up, shaped by inner voices of doubt and negativity, by trying to please others or live up to their expectations. That self-image is what you’re living through now. Your only “job” is to see it for what it is. Behind all that noise is the real you. It took me a long time to see this myself-a long process of peeling back layers of conditioning. Patience is key. Don’t be hard on yourself. Just watch, and you will get there. Expect no miracles or specific states to happen. Just become fully aware of your inner world. Everything else will fall into place. When? Nobody knows, and that’s not your concern. No pressure, my friend. Be kind to yourself. You are already enlightened. There’s just a storm passing through, temporarily clouding your inner vision. ❤
@ thank you so much Antonio ❤️. Thank you for taking the time to respond and to reply so thoughtfully. I was crying while reading this. You are very kind. I think I am very lucky to have found your videos and to get your response. Yes it’s hard just to observe. I didn’t realise that trying to awaken is driven by my anxiety as well. I realise I lack what you say here and in another of your videos - patience and acceptance and self love. Words I have heard many times before but have never really understood they apply to how I treat myself not just others. I will keep practicing just to observe and think about what you have written. Deeply I thank you 🙏
No worries my friend. ☺️ We‘re not alone on this journey. Since you mentioned that you’re exploring Buddhism, I really recommend that you check out Zen Mind, Beginner‘s Mind by Shunryu Suzuki. It‘s so simple and beautifully written and it really helped me a lot in my life. All the best to you! ❤️
@ thank you Antonio for the recommendation I will check it out! I got into Buddhism from a book called “When Things Fall Apart” by Pema Chodron a Buddhist nun - that book helped me a lot with my anxieties and started my interest in Buddhism. Thank you again 😊
