    I searched around on UA-cam and found Gelong Thubten, who is the voice for everything I need right now in my current life situation. And I'm not even a buddhist!

      Me too. It sounds like he knows me somehow. I get stuck on the grasping. My emotions seem like a roller coaster 🎢. I CAN choose more than I give myself credit for.

    At age 43 , can’t even tell you guys the importance of mediation . I started doing it last year for the first time and has been a life changing experience ..! Meditation should be mandatory just like eating food and drinking water each and every day .. Human brain is the most fascinating thing there ever is and when trained properly , it will literally make you unstoppable..!

    Thank you, Gelong Thubten. I feel this is right. "I am much gentler on me than i used to be". I find this to be key. I remember being gentler on myself but am not as much now as i used to be. Just realizing it already makes me a little gentler on myself.

    I think this is one of the best teachings to help you getting started because it's really how he describes it and it gives a glimpse on what to expect - even tho it's not as good as it really is because it's the intellectual level only. It helps to understand and get a aha-effect but what true happiness really means is experienced at the point when you also add the daily practice of meditation to it.

      i don't think muslim should listen to non-muslims sermon it will divert your mind from islam! I do this everywhere on youtube to save muslims from impure thought and spread islam/message of Allah to as many people as possible. Islam is message direct from Allah unlike other religion! so human must concentrate on islam...anyway islam is spreading faster than any other religion islam will prevail all over world eventually. People should read Quran always!!

    i put this on my facebook page.. thank you Gelong. CHOICES --okay, so meditation. you say.. i couldn't do that.. or why would i want to. Well, if you have alot of anxiety, you may. People have lost control of our thoughts.. they bombard you and make you worry, or scared or mad etc. So, this fellow is pretty good at explaining how you take a few minutes out, and bring your attention back to breathing every time a thought sweeps through. Of course you don't catch them all, at least not at first, but you begin to see how many of them are sabotaging and ambushing you. He says it's like you're going somewhere and suddenly these taxi's show up, and you obligingly get in them and let them take you to some awful place.. and on top of that it costs you a fortune..heh.. And the practice of making your own choice to go back to the breathing (even though it seems boring) is like a body workout making your muscles stronger, but this muscle is your mind. It's like gripping the reins of the runaway horse, if you will, and finally, patiently getting him turned around and headed back to the barn. Someday he'll not run away, and be trained. In your day to day living you start to see how you can observe these past and future based thought disturbances,choose to let them be (thereby draining them of all their power to influence you), and carry on with the now.. freeing up all this potential energy that was being spent on irritation. Your life gets way more vital and vibrant.. and helpful to others because your mind is becoming clear of clutter. And, get this.. you may start to even invite tough situations with people and traffic etc.. (really.. not kidding) because its a chance for you to strengthen that muscle and hone your mind skills.. you start to be compassionate because you see how you being content in life spreads like wildfire to help others feel better too. It gets down deep into your satisfaction because you know society really needs our help.. we really should be having our kids do this little exercise in school. check it out (then i put this link)

    @eechuanseng7891 4 роки тому

    After Prince Siddharta ( known as Buddha) died over 2500 years ago , his words are taught by millions of people calling themselves ‘ Buddhist Teacher”.

    These people mostly monks are learning Buddha’s words from various sources , from so many kinds of practices / meditation , scriptures, or by lineage .
    And they are using what they learned , their skills and their experiences to teach people to know , to understand and to experience Buddha’s words .
    Their followers will then created a form of “ referrals” in mind and this referral later turned into a form of beliefs or faith .
    Their followers using what they have learned or experienced and strive to be the one they think they should be.
    So in short , Buddhist Teacher are using Buddha’s words to shape people into “ SOMEONE” …leading people to ‘ A GOAL “…….

    To me , this might be the greatest misleading of mankind .

    I have 2 points to highlight to all Buddhist Teacher .

    No 1 : BUDDHIST TEACHER ARE GUIDING PEOPLE BECOMING “ SOMEONE” BUT WHAT IF THE WORDS OF BUDDHA IS LEADING PEOPLE INTO “ NO ONE”?
    Dear Buddhist Teacher ,

    Human are keeping and holding on knowledge / skills / experience / memories in mind and the mind is like a a house full of rubbish and the owner of the house is constantly suffering, struggling to get out from the house but due to his nature , he is constantly collecting and keeping more and more rubbish into the house …….he continues to suffer from his own nature.
    Let me ask you a simple question :-

    What is left in mind if you take out all that you learned , all your knowledge , all your skills , all your experience , all your faith / beliefs and all your memories from your mind?
    PERHAPS , The one left in mind is YOU ……..so what are you ???

    PERHAPS ,YOU are EMOTION , you are desire , you are love , you are anger , you are hate , you are greed , you are will , you are fear , you are ego ….
    and the words of Buddha is simply like an arrow pointing at YOU not a guide of who you should be.
    You are always HERE and you should be at peace of what you are …..is you that suffer struggling to be there , trying to be someone .
    Awaken to own nature , one no longer holds on to anything in mind .
    The mind will be at ease and this will allow realization to occur .
    The realization will contract the mind and reduce the growth of emotion .
    Wisdom is the ability to forget all including own nature .
    But ,
    Is apparent that all Buddhist Teacher is teaching people to gain more knowledge , more skills , more faith and this is like collecting more rubbish into mind …
    The mind will expand and like an expanded balloon , the pressure inside the balloon will increase and pressure resembles suffering …..
    So Buddhist Teacher is leading people into a path of greater suffering in the name of Buddhism .
    No ( 2 ) WHAT IF THE WORDS OF BUDDHA IS NEVER ABOUT KNOWING OR UNDERSTANDING OR EXPERIENCING ?
    Dear Buddhist Teacher ,
    Like all living , emotion has a natural nature to grow and emotion is feeding on “ referral” to grow and travel in life .
    Referrals is a form of knowledge / skills / experience / memories / faith etc .
    Emotion using the physical body as a tool to sense and by a process of thinking to generate referrals.
    Thinking is emotion in action .
    We thinking about learning to know , knowing to understand and understand to create referrals .
    So in other words , human think , human know and human understand to create referral that they will use it to grow more emotion and to live .
    Emotion will constantly hold on to all these referrals in mind.
    But !!!
    Each moment all nature is naturally changing …so holding anything in mind is like trying to block river water from naturally flowing into sea …that is suffering .

    Buddhist Teacher is causing people to create and hold on referral in mind and that is the basis of human suffering.
    What if the words of Buddha is never about knowing or understanding or experiencing?
    What if the words of Buddha is about REALIZATION and realization is of the opposite nature of knowing / understanding???
    So the more you know, the more you understand, the further you will travel away from realization .
    So in short , Buddhist Teaching is teaching people to understand and to hold on to Buddha’s words but Buddha’s words are about realization and realization is not something one should hold but rather is a factor that could lead one to naturally let go of what he holds .
    Wisdom is the ability to forget all in mind including own nature.

    So , there is a possibility that Buddhist Teacher is like someone giving you muddy water to wash your clothing and let you expect it to be cleaned ……you will suffer from your own nature .

    My name is Ee Chuan Seng from Malaysia . I am currently at a mind that claims there is the possibility that all Buddhist Teacher regardless of their background or nature of teaching, as long as they teach, they are misleading Buddha’s words.
    I am here with my real name and a face on my profile. I will be fully and solely responsible for all my claims.I cordially invite all Buddhist Teacher to debate with me on their reason and the nature of teaching Buddhism to challenge this current mind of me. My email is 1988csee@gmail.com
