I compare myself with my classmates all the time and self hate....thanks for the video

[@strikerx3810]

Me too and i can't getting rid of this problem😢😢

[@SonOhJom]

Me too 😐 I always hope that they are doing the same as i do and i often think they are negative by doing that which is wrong 🫥

[@SonOhJom]

Now i know what to do because of this channel. It enlightened me so much that i can became more happy and practice kindness and patience is better than comparing ourselves to others. 🙂🙏

[@arpitbalia6447]

Same 😢

[@saraswathikalpana1875]

Don't go to school

[@thepieguylol]

I’ve always achieved success in life through comparison. Had a successful running career in college because there were people faster than me “I need to be faster than that guy, I’m going to outwork that guy to win” after graduating I got a job in sales. It was a really competitive environment. I brought the same mindset and became a top performer because I knew it was possible. Now I’m in a place in life where the comparison is only causing me tremendous stress. Friends making more money than me. Wife left me and now she’s making more money than me, her life seems it’s taking better direction than when we were together. It makes me feel absolutely horrible. But the truth is, I absolutely love my job, it’s so much fun and I’m making enough money to support myself. I love my friends and I love my life. But the comparison always works together with my competitiveness to torture me. I’ve just started this journey of gratitude and letting go of trying to be “better than” others in order to feel accomplished. Wish me luck

[@Phoenixfliesfar]

Wow!! I can resonate with what you just said

[@limbenglee]

True .. I left Instagram and Facebook.... I now listen to good KZbin.

[@brainstormssmilebyasankabu3150]

This is the best preching I have ever heared which makes my mind blowing and very sensible at the moment I heard it. Applicability of the concepts compared with Supreme Buddha's preeching gives it a content validity.

[@smithasusan4864]

True

[@sleepinggiant575]

This was good and I'm Christian. I'm headed to a buddah temple soon.

[@xaviergregory7876]

Good messages. I am a senior citizen. I listen almost every day. Good presentation and accent. But if you can spare some time to avoid certain mistakes, incorrect usages (grammatical) it would be great🙏

[@millionyohannes1036]

Tank You For Message

[@anjaoldnettle2841]

Jesus says love yourself like you love others! I am reminded of this when I listen to you and I as a Christian see no problem taking your advice. It is the right and true advice!

[@okso6369]

As Walpola Rahula wrote, "Truth needs no label: it is neither Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, nor Moslem. It is not the monopoly of anyone."

[@clarencefernando3968]

Agreed. 100% correct.Good luck and all the best.

[@diwasH3DD]

Love have'nt social status

[@Jay-ft3xh]

Please keep your bigoted, hate filled dogma inside your home. Less you be a hypocrite.

[@Jay-ft3xh]

Besides the deep irony of you comparing your belief system with the philosophy of non religious people.

[@tubadurantdoda]

This is one of the best videos about comparison and jealousy that I've seen so far. I have tendencies to get frustrated over other people's lives, especially if they have what I've dreamt of having. I don't know if it'll be easy to just wish them happiness, while I, myself struggle to get that same thing, when they are served with it for free. That's the part that I struggle with. He's so right about social media fuelling such toxic feelings, but still you can't get rid of that feeling of jealousy and comparison when you try so hard to get it for all these years and someone out there just got it for free. If anyone has a similar experience and knows how to fix it, please let me know.

[@memenchance1747]

I used to be jealous all the time and I'm not really sure how I managed to remove it from me. I think for me it's the idea of impermanence helped a lot. At the end of the day everything will go away so I don't really think much of what I have. I also think that envy is just an emotion that motivates you to do better, so whenever I feel it I know that it's just me desiring something and I immediately try to remove it from my thoughts because it feels bad and it don't really help me accomplish things. Desire is the root of suffering according to Buddhism and I completely agree but I can't help myself sometimes but still its possible to remove envy even though you still have desires, I think you just have to be aware of it. I'm sorry if this answer is confusing I'm not that good at sharing my thoughts. 😁😁 This may not be the solution for you but I know by experience it's possible to free yourself from envy. I can't believe that I've done it either, one day and it was just gone. Sometimes it comes back but I just have to remind myself that it don't matter in the end. So don't worry you'll find your way soon! 😁😁

[@luisaespedilla4600]

My advice to you is just live a simple life .. don't dreamed the things that impossible for you to achieved....the saying is life is so unfair....

[@tubadurantdoda]

@@memenchance1747 I know, it's not easy to remove it completely, but it's best to just reduce it I guess and it only happens by staying away from social media as far as I observed.

[@stefaniakonstantinidou981]

You are unique. Nobody is like you. And material things don t matter. Only the kindness of your heart and your values are important. What s important is given for free to everybody. What s not important requires money to buy

[@shimaalcarrim7949]

I have really been struggling with feeling shitty after comparing myself to others better than me

[@suethai7359]

Be yourself, love yourself, Knowing yourself 🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@sulthanibrahimrajakhan9372]

Amazing advice from the great Human Being!!!

[@daisydaruwalla4189]

I came upon this simply by chance. But from the moment I saw the first one I could not stop myself from watching others also. Each of them is so interesting and teaches us the simple rules of living a happy and contented life.

[@dec66.18]

Yes,came upon these by chance also,on a weekend that wasn't going well (nothing serious but annoying).I watched the video ,and now I watch daily,very helpful.

[@lifeisshortmeditation5922]

LIFE IS A CIRCLE OF HAPPINESS, SADNESS, HARD TIMES, AND GOOD TIMES. IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A HARD TIME, KNOW THAT GOOD TIMES ARE ON THE WAY.

[@noel5564]

Sadu I am a Christian but I listen to your preaching and I say you are a great preacher. God bless you.

[@carmelinemarcus2102]

Hello 🙂 This is such a great video full of wisdom. We as humans at one time or the other get fustdrated in.many areas of life for not having our dreams fulfilled and compare ourselves with others especially with others. From this video we have to learn to run in our own tracks and stop comparing to others. So very true. Thank you very much for your words of Wisdom.🙏

[@floriansantos2657]

I always look forward on hearing and taking notes of Buddhist lessons and advices.🙏🙏🙏 thank you very much.

[@sarangamalkanthi1813]

[@indusalgado6628]

One of the best dhamma preaching i listening. So true for most. Who keep winging about others houses,vehicles what other eat and all sort of things. Namo Buddhaya obawahanseta 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@nabashangkarchakma2369]

This is the perfect advice & suggestion to control our jealous, envious & depression. The lord Buddha always shaw us how to lead a happy & prosperous life so that the earth become co-existent with peacefully. In the present world we want to be more wealthy in order enjoying life. But the process of acquiring assets are not unique somebody make proper way somebody are not then we involve in evil competition as a result we create discrimination, bad precedent & anti- social activities. In this regard neither do i but in order to dominate my foul mindset early in the morning after doing exercise always listen your holliness verse.Namo Buddha.. may all beings in the world be happy & successful. Sadhu 3

[@michelleyani1474]

[@frankiea6482]

Great video, words and thoughts. There are 3 ingredients that most humans never truly master: Know, Love and Respect yourself. The reason there is so much turmoil in the world is because humans lack 1 to 3 of these critical ingredients to master their own life...

[@DianaWaldman-fd8cf]

Yes..correct Teacher of Buddah...know you so loved and valued by 'zillions' of people, Holy God, and me. I value you. A Teacher...USA

[@Mukeepundir07]

Yes, exactly true.... We shouldn't compare self with other like personally then we get lose in own life in addition if we do compare to other as professionally so we need to focus at work and need more hard work then it will be good for our life....

[@kapilafavorites]

Namo Buddhaya! Thanks 🙏 for your videos it help us to change our life! Your beautiful calming voice with Buddish philosophy it is amazing! Namo Buddhaya!

[@knowkytv8.984]

Never compare with others becoz each of us have our own capabilities , strength , wisdom or talents, we can never be equal with each other..

Im so frustrated when im in my first year of univ life....cuz every one good in subjects and they living joyfull lifes.... At the some point i blocked some of my friends who is success in there life... I stoped looking fb , insta posts.... Finally i realized that , tht is not gonna work anymore.... Best way to overcome comparison is face it straight ....talk with them , be friendly with them , push ur self to watch what others doing....and try to be happy for them....at the first stage it will be difficult ...but trust me it will gonna make ya life so better ..... Cuz i still regret to be envious with my gf...i lost lot of things been a asshole.......wish ya good luck...
