I am a muslim.i subscribe this channel for listening practice and i watch his video regularly but there is one thing also i want to say that his advice is very helpful in practical life.

[@emtiyajansari6591]

Knowledge has no any religion brother ,I am also muslim

[@user-kv6nn5ql2y]

Muslim or anyother, (Allah) spoke about the same thing just different language and time. Peace doesn't belong to anyone or thing it's within you.

[@2cmrinhfx]

And I am Christian and agree with you. He is a beautiful soul and I find his videos and shorts very calming and centering. Peace be upon us all.

[@arkawith_guitarAJ]

Religion is nothing but an excuse brother we all know that we are human ❤

[@Andrea11240]

After my husband passed away last March, I realized life is so short and fragile. Thus, I am now gradually learning to say no to things or persons that don't appreciate me and that stirs up negative feelings in me.

[@smithasusan4864]

Yes.....

[@jenandjen99]

Exactly,...well said & makes great sense!

[@happydays3678]

I have been listing to your teaching because I don't find it anywhere else; not even in Thai Buddhist. I waste my life on the Christian and looking into Muslim that turns out to be violent religion. I knew of the History and following simple buddhist philosophy. Now I am walking on the Buddhist spiritual path faithfully.

[@Arpit_Sharma_-.-]

Thanks a lot Sir for this Valuable session🙏🙏❤❤. I needed this very very much. 7:51-8:30 The most important thing in your life is the learning process,that is what helps to achieve more success.Learn to DISCARD the unimportant,fancy things in life and Practice SELF-DISCIPLINE. 9:57-10:41 - Respect time. It is more valuable than money. Money can be earned again but Lost time is never found again. Ask this magic question to yourself before doing anything :- "IS IT REALLY NECESSARY? Will it even help me ? " Channelize your valuable time in doing something valuable. Saying NO can be really hard but in order to achieve a happy and calmer life, a more disciplined life. we've to say NO to the unimportant things in life . PRACTICE these little tips and you will be happy in your life ❤🤗☺

[@ethvalues]

You are best teacher in today's era. Namesty!

[@prabhusai-to1zj]

[@thebeliver6435]

Namo budhayaa🙏🙏

[@hsmint]

1) Self awareness. Ask your self "why do you need to do this? Is it helpful to you, is it helpful to others?". 2) Self discipline. Know the priority and say no to less important things. 3) Know that time is limited. Look at time as you look at money. Then you will use it seriously. Money can be earned. But time cannot. 4) ask "is it really necessary". For example, scrolling social media vs talking to your kids 5) know what matters to you. Whats the most impt thing to do today to achieve the larger purpose?

[@flyinghigh3433]

Namo Buddhaya. තෙරුවන් සරණයි 🙏🙏🙏

[@db12069]

[@vishakakarunagoda8932]

Most people like listening to you because of the media selected and the way you explain. Use relevant examples, simple language, and the subject content is suitable for this modern society.

I like how he never talk about Bhudda or religion in his videos, the videos are very practical and anyone can do it to achieve what they want to achieve. I would like to see more videos like this to improve my inner self

[@celebritystuff369]

This monk always talks about the core of buddhism. As a buddhist I could say a lot of buddhist people like me doesnt know much about these p ractical teachings of lord buddha. These days a many people try to promote their religion among the others exept try to get the core values in it. I respect this monk for without promoting the religion and try to give message to whole world according to buddhas real teachings.

[@user-kc5ll3mu4h]

A pure pleasure to listen to. Simple words, clear explanations that are logical and thought-provoking. Always calm and smiling. I listen and try to apply.
