Buddhism isn't a religion. It's a philosophy, a school of thought and behavior. And this is the reason that it's the most effective, humane, pure, and productive system in the world.

I don't know of anyone who is living the life I am living. All my friends are married with children, have homes of their own, careers, and I am living with my parents helping to take care of them. I love what I am doing. I meditate throughout the day because I don't want to forget God. I also meditate because sometimes I am doing a lot and I need to decompress. I wouldn't change my life though. I am glad to be on this path.

you are mentally pushed to follow a cultural path that is destructive to nature, to other living beings, to your true self and to other human beings who are kind of yr work slaves(in China, Bangladesh or or Mexico...) You are doing fine(don't let these imprinted thoughts make you believe otherwise)You are an example more people should be encouraged to fall(ego is a fake concept which will never make you happy and is causing lots of suffering to other living being and nature(pollution from air travel or car travel or transport from far away countries,) Buy second or third hand and share as much as possible(things, knowledge...)

I live close to the city and most of my friends live there, still wondering when I will move to the city as well. But they don't know what it's like to have a job that doesn't provide a decent living, they don't know what it's like to have a mother that can't live from her paycheck, nor do they want to know. They either forget or try to forget me, only desiring to fill their lives with good times and happy trails and try to persuade me with stupid arguments that they only try to argue about because it provides a reason for them to feel better about my situation. Their words keep expressing false hope, something in the line of pulling bootstraps like Americans would say. That's fine. Some of my friends help me in small ways, and I'm very grateful for that. It's their way to express their concern for me to be happy. But I won't be happy if I leave my mother behind, not being able to take care of herself, not after everything she has done for me and still does for me. If I could, I'd buy her a house, but I'm sure she'll be happy that I will go to college again, pay it for myself this time, and when I graduate and get a decent job, I can help her pay rent and keep the place clean. This is my way and I won't bend to the frills of metropolitan fashion.

EDIT: you address this later in the video! One thought I had when you said to do your responsibility then afterwards focus on what you want, sometimes the responsibility isn't really something you're responsible for at all: I grew up believing that I wasn't worthy of meaningful connections unless I was able to calm the "negative" feelings of everyone around me to keep the peace. It took a lot of time for me to get into therapy, and then some years of therapy before I started to feel like myself again... or for the first time. Obviously, this is a youtube channel, not a therapist, but I just wanted to point that out in case anyone was watching and needed that nuance.

How's your sleep? Sleeping & waking at the same hours, generally speaking, day-to-day? Eating fresh/still living/recently-alive foods, every day? Getting a little sun, every day? Getting your blood pumping? Drinking water, instead of coffee or not-water? ... When you are motivated, what gets you going? Through challenge, frustration, failure, success-? What can you say no to, so you can carve in the time to do the things that get you producing, and enable you to recover energy for your energy expenditure/production? I'm not asking for answers; I just want to share the ways & hows that have been offered to me, along the way, and have helped me in maybe similar situations. Oh- Maybe check out Huberman Labs, on KZbin. What an outstanding channel. Seriously. *deep respect & best regards for & to you*

I’m an alcoholic woman about to turn 37 . I’ve been going through cycles of alcoholism and recovery for the last 15 years . Also from San Diego! :) I struggle with stopping doing bad, in regards to ingesting intoxicants, I come from a long line of alcoholics. I lost my mother and step father both to the disease this last year. The last week I’ve really been exploring your videos, the plum village ap , and a lot of different dharma talks. I’m trying different things That I’ve known about for years but was resistant to. I feel awkward attempting to chant my way through the days minuscule moments, but better after. I don’t know if it feels sustainable, but I haven’t been thinking about alcohol , I haven’t been drinking and I absolutely feel the merit of filling my day with purposeful better deeds. I have found your videos so helpful. I would really appreciate it if you would explore specific sutras and mantras. Their linguistic meanings, their practical application, different interpretations… I appreciate your teaching style and your sense of humor. Thank you for doing this.

Thank you, Nick, very inspiring! Somehow this reminds me of a quote from Confucius.. "Life is actually really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."

every unhappiness moment in life is an indication for the urge to change. understand and accept that. willingness to change will also open a new path because, when the student is ready, the teacher appears

I don’t know I will have to listen to this video over and over again. I am 61 and since June last year I have been through a difficult time with my children just when I enjoying few years of untroubled life. Now I am unpicking the knots . It is hurting but I keep saying that changes are inevitable in life and that I will learn and grown. Thank you for your words, they have been so helpful ❤️🇧🇷

Dear lu edch. All you can do is love. If a child is toxic or dangerous you may wish to distance yourself from them. (You can still love them without being in their space.) If you wish to see more of them, then maybe as a pensioner you have more time to make contact with them? The working generations have a lot of stress on their time these days (a very different situation from even a generation ago).... Don’t expect anything from them, just give the time and energy you want, TO them... and see what happens. :)

What an amazing and unique perspective to be able to have experienced beginnings as a refugee, the a westernize life, then the eastern teachings, and have the knowledge of technical things like filming and editing and broadcasting with us. Thank you so much for this. I am so grateful!

Thank you for sharing this wisdom. My home in NYC has changed and I am not sure where to move to. I am giving myself time and listening to my own signals on what to do. There are a lot of outside influences from friends and family but with age I strive to listen to myself more closely. The answer will unfold.

I’ve been feeling a strong calling to change and I’m definitely not following my “true nature.” I am a spiritual person and am starting to shed my old ways after reverting back to them and continually getting caught back in cycles.
