Feeling Lonely? Watch This | Buddhism In English

[@sindhusathish123]

It is better to be alone than to feel lonely in a relationship, than to be in the company of wrong friends and if it threatens your peace, well being and happiness

[@Kitu74]

Absolutely

[@thilanMusic]

Exactly

[@علي-ش7ث8ب]

*no wonder you feel lonely.*

[@lindastaunton8600]

I agree

[@meghameraki]

AGREED

[@flowergirl7260]

Even though i'm an introvert, I feel like we are truly social creatures. Solitude is enjoyable when you know it is not 'forever' and that there are friends and family you can spend time with when you want. A sense of belonging is important. Connection.

[@margaritakleinman5701]

Totally agree with you. I think it's all about balance. We need our social time and we also need our valuable alone time. Both are necessary!

[@driftersky]

Exactly! Solitude is only enjoyable when you know it's not forever, but when you don't have friends, or only be able to meet a friend once in a few months, enjoyable solitude has become extreme loneliness. That is my case. To me, this monk hasn't really experienced true loneliness and try to teach people about how to face loneliness.

[@queenofthepierats]

@@margaritakleinman5701 I definitely agree with this. As much as possible I try to choose the middle way and balance.

My sister has tonnes of friends. All friends she met in primary school, senior school, college, work etc are still close friends of her. I never had large cliques of friends. I always had a few close friends. And my friends walked away from my time to time. My mother ridiculed me since I was a kid, that I'm so friendless. Meanwhile, my sister was admired for having so many friends. She said that if trouble comes, there'll be no one to help me. However I have survived to be 39 now. In this country, people always do things in large groups. Solitary people like me are looked upon as failures. We are made to feel as if we were failures. But we are only being ourselves, responding to how others treat us, our way. That's all. Thank you for this video and for the confirmation that being solitary is a good thing too.

[@akshita4220]

This is one message I need for my whole life. Being an introvert, I often feel lonely. I use to think its because of me, my attitude, my way of thinking, and also because I can't stand small talks. But the truth is everyone is different and unique in their own way, you can only be you, not someone else. If this is how you're meant to be than that's how you will. Loneliness is beautiful only if you look at it in a way for you to be you yourself. Turning inwards ❤️. Thanks for this 🙏

I just lost my husband and it’s very lonely. I never realized how lonely life can be when you lose someone special

[@DevlogBill]

Took me 45 years to understand the difference between loneliness and solute. It took me 45 years to understand being alone is an opportunity to work on yourself, study, learn, develop skill sets, exercise, and challenge your mind, body, and spirit. Its funny I no longer feel lonely when I am alone. But on rare occasions while at work I feel lonely around people. But I am starting to realize what I am doing wrong now and watching your video now makes so much more sense.

Loneliness is feeling that you do not belong. You can have many friends and family but do not feel a connection with any of them as they do not understand you or appreciate you for who you are.

This is probably one of the most valuable Life Lessons and one that should be taught in secondary schools so that when people close to us leave, we don’t all get depressed, suicidal and hooked on medication to cope. Life is tough and the more equipped you are to deal with it when it fails you, like the lovely monk says, the better your journey through it will be.

Solitude is a very important component to become happy. Otherwise you become like a rat running around a maze. I have bought hundreds of books which fill up my mind. I haven't turned on the TV for three months. Each person is different but whether you are an introvert or an extrovert you need a certain amount of solitude to grow and also become less lonely. Filter out the noise in your life and you feel invigorated. Buddha was the greatest example of using solitude to attain Nibbana (nirvana). This young monk speaks so much wisdom and provides such clarity in how he expresses the profound truths of Buddhas teachings.

Conclusion: 0:00-3:40 1. When we are with others, we are happy. But when we are not, we feel sad. 2. Loneliness is when you depend the happiness from others. 3. Solitude is when you find a happiness within yourself. Without depending on others. 3:40 - 4:50 4. Think about being alone more positively -you have more time for yourself. -you have freedom: can think and reflect about urself, meditation, check ur health and do actions to improve it, self-development and improve urself. -use that time to do good things to urself. When u know u use that time to do good things to urself, u will feel happy and positive about yourself. No more sadness. 4:50 - 7:15 5. Buddha be alone in jungle: Being alone is pain❌ Being alone is to have time with myself. Have freedom. So, I can do meditation freely with no one to think about and disrupt me✅ 6. Use that time to create a better life or do the daily routines. -workout -go out for a walk -be with nature -read book -learn something new 7. If people come, let they come. If they go away from you, let go. -learn to be with yourself without needing others. Learn to spend a time with yourself being alone. Do good things to yourself instead of thinking it as a pain.

I have broken out of loneliness by spending time with the Lord, Jesus Christ, everyday. The same way I eat everyday I spend time reading the Holy Bible and praising God everyday. Renewing my mind to the word of God. Also, serving in my local church helps too.

It's 5:13 a.m., and I can't sleep. Suddenly, this video came out of me. Thank you so much. Finally, I feel so calm.

[@joaquimxavier2772]

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF SEEING YOU, MAKES ME FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE AND PEACEFUL. I STARTED TO VIEW ONE OF YOUR VIDEO, THE EARLIEST ONE, AND ITS SO NICE AND OVERWHELMING, IN HEARING YOUR ADVICE, PREACHING & GUIDANCE. SO DURING THESE TWO WEEKS, I HAVE SEEN ALL YOUR VIDEOS, AND WRITE DOWN ALL WHAT YOU SAID IN A NOTE BOOK. YOUR ADVICE HELPS ME TO UNDERSTAND AND LEARN THE VALUE OF LIFE. THANKS A LOT. I'M A CATHOLIC, BUT I KNOW I WILL CONTINUE TO VIEW AND LISTEN TO YOU. GOD BLESS YOU.

Remember Lord Buddha was made into a Christian saint for 900 years as Barlaam and Josaphat. But now you finally get some of his actual teachings.

"I have learned loneliness is not a pain or unlucky, Instead of worrying about being lonely, We can invest this time on self improvement ." I'm facing loneliness too, it creates a void in my heart but I'm trying to get over it by doing random stuff like scrolling social media, playing games but it doesn't provide me clarity after , then I do realize the actual formula , Self improvement == making ourselve better ( exercise + learning + meditation) it really helps. Don't be exhausted and don't waste your energy by scrolling phone or try to get wrong ppl in life or don't get into the people who disrespect you and Remember BALANCE + CONSISTENCY is the Key 🗝 I'm in the same journey too but if you found this helpful, like this comment and It helps me to remember the concept and keep working on it 😊

[@rogahaging4656]

I know I'm not only the one who is going through this loneliness but right now this feeling of loneliness is killing me from inside. Don't want to suffer anymore so from nowonwards I won't be there for them !

I am not going to watch this video, as I have time shortage, but I have to say, after looking at the thumbnail, I feel lonely, and I love it. I love a girl, but she doesn't know, she doesn't need to, but she has to stay happy, and I make sure she is happy from a distance. I love space I love nature

[@geetanjaleek9579]

I lost my mom recently and now I have no one. We faced many traumas and tragedies together. She was my everything. Lost dad to cancer when I was little. Relatives abandoned ship a long time ago. Solitude is important and at times one can stay alone too for long periods but being alone i e not having anyone in the world to call your own is very scary. I'm constantly afraid and feel unable to go on.

Believe in Lord Krishna He is our real Father,friend,well wisher everything... Loving him ...he will definitely reciprocate.... We can't see his point of view.... He is always with us... Surrender him.... He will take care of everything... Hare Krishna....

Hi how are you doing now.. are you from Kerala? 🎉

[@priyachaudhary3214]

loving your own company is not a bad thing and i think it's the best thing one can do because in this world no one is permanent u r the only one who's gonna be with urself so why don't spend time with urself. Solitude is nothing to be worried about in fact people are afraid and jealous of people who can enjoy their own company and don't need anyone to make them happy. No one is powerful than people who love being alone so we should learn to celebrate solitude because inner peace can come with this only nd no one knows u better than urself...

[@sampathdesilva6143]

Aloneness more or less similar to solitude, that is what I felt. However, being alone or being solitude not necessarily mean you are happy with yourself while thinking of the monks inside forest and monasteries for years and gain nothing. Eternal happiness is the status of NO MIND in MIND. It is you are not clinging into your feelings /emotions but remain as a WITNESS.

[@LenovoA-gy7cs]

Iam alone since last few months, it was little difficult early days, but feeling happy now. I realised that being alone is a beautiful spiritual journey, more attached to me & started loving myself, feeling comfortable, calm, fearless..... ofcourse it's a beautiful journey being alone in our home

Hi

[@FernandaSchvarztman]

While I was watching your video I think I saw your aura. It's a very beautiful bright blue color and it moved me through your words 😢. I'm not special but yet I am. Thank you

[@dec66.18]

Great wisdom in this lesson, Bhante. May you be well and happy 🙏

[@sheiladay-od2me]

I do all of the above things you recommend daily. I am in good physical condition, have no health problems, and find that meditation, prayer, reading the Bible, drawing, writing, painting, reading and walking 5 miles a day, maintaining my home, not looking forward to landscaping my front lawn, cooking and preparing healthy foods certainly keeps me busy. I know that I would like to live in a more private area, so that I can paint landscapes in front of me, which I loved in New Mexico. I am a playful person and enjoy artistic people who are also playfully creative, productive and enjoy their lives. I would like to share a life with an honest, caring partner. You do get to know yourself by yourself. Thank you for this video.

[@universe4242]

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️❤️. It relaxs and calm my mind down as my mind was confused n feeling something was missing.

Thank you so much for this. I’m literally crying right now bc I feel so isolated and depressed. I’ve been praying to God for years for companionship but it has not come yet. I will try to keep focusing on bettering myself

[@kumu6443]

Dear friend one day you will blessed that you are alone. Everyone is depart in this world but you never had any bad feeling or sad to leave behind someone close to you. Mediate and bring your inner peace within your self. See how you feel big different in your life. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

OMG i just love you so much ❤️ Om Namo Buddhaya 🤗🙏 needed this so much now .. from now on its only solitude thank you for clearing this 🌱🌞

[@donnacristino4957]

I spend a big part of my life alone it was hard at first. Very sad. I would question myself what or why do I do wrong. Time to get out because happiness will not come to my door. Now I go to a gym and church.

[@Gjty1]

My loneliness brought to your video and appreciate you my friend 🙏🏽🕊

[@stephendc1601]

Happiness is not always found being with other people ... Sometimes, you can make your own happiness within tu your own self, tru your mindset and there's actually advantage to be alone , you can discover your strength rather than your weakness ..... It's natural to be sad when someone close to you departs from your life but we can always count on other whom you can talk to or have Faith and trust that God is there for you , you are not alone......thank you sir for your kind support to enlighten our hearts tru your motivational tips and advices on this helpful video.

[@kayysheeee]

Yes when we are alone we can start focusing more on us but there’s a limit to everything. Even focusing on yourself has a limit. At some point we feel the need to at least talk to someone. It’s normal human nature.

[@devishankarrana9628]

The one thing i learnt from this vedio is keep yourself busy all the time that you don't have time to feel depressed

[@janetmiller2980]

Sometimes I think if I was much better looking, there would be more social opportunities, and it makes me sad there aren't more social opportunities for someone like myself. Thank you for this positive perspective on time spent alone. It's more time for positive actions like meditation and meditative activities like painting. Again, thank you.

[@MelissaParisCuocSongPhap]

Thanks so much for your encouraging words. That helps me a lot. Find yourself in the solitude.❤

Great ….to learn that loneliness is good. What you said it makes sense to us. I always think Buddha is a great philosopher. I love to practice meditation but not so often.

A very useful message for a generation of us who are always encouraged to be out and about and busy and achieving things and socialising and being over-scheduled.
