If you ever find yourself worried, ask yourself; can i solve the problem? If the answer is yes, then you dont need to be worried, if the answer is no, there is no need to be worried. Remember, you never need to be worried❤

[@gyalthangdawa]

Said by ancient guru shantideva

[@rajip81]

Though the answer is yes, we might struggle to execute the solution within the timeline and then you become anxious

[@atulbakshi1301]

I like what you just said

[@TharundaGamege]

I want to find a job. Im keep applying . But nobody wants to take me. After reading this commentI stopped worrying. And now Im hopeless and homeless. Now I cant solve this. So as per the comment I decided to not to worry. Peace

[@anjukunju]

When the answer is I don't know wot to do

[@jyotiprasadsahariah8596]

Sometimes I come here to listen english for practice Speaking English . But you teach me life is beautiful and more beautiful

[@hsmint]

1) Aware of what I'm thinking 2) Shift my thought pattern into something wholesome. Think of a past experience that makes me peaceful. 3) Think about the disadvantages of negative thoughts, such as hurting myself and others. 4) Pay no mind, Pay no attention. Don't give attention to that thought. 5) Relax your thought process. Think of love, compassionsion, gratefulness. 6) Only if 2-5 doesn't work, use this: Crush your thoughts with awareness. This should not be done by everyone.

[@LAVANYAAAS-kc4dd]

I just watched your amazing tricks to control our mind. Those were really good. I would like to share one of my remarkable experiences. 3 months back, I was listening to a random song. The whole day it was struck so badly in my mind that I couldn't let it go. It kept on distracting me during my studies. So, I actually tried that 5th step without knowing abt its existence. I forced my mind to stop thinking about it every time I could hear it. Initially, it was difficult, even though its frequency increased with more suppression I was persistent and faithful . Sooner I felt a tight band around my head squeezing it with my increased efforts to prevent my thoughts. And then I slept unconsciously ( coz it was 12 am ). When I woke up the next morning, I was surprised to find that the ringing sound is no more. I couldn't even recall the lyrics even if I tried recalling. It was as if my brain permanently deleted that memory. I was just fascinated by this incident and thus would like to share it with you guys as well. Hope you found something worthy.

[@ushanib]

I started showing these videos to my 7 year old before she sleeps. In between we stop and talk about each of the things being taught in these video. I felt it's a really good way to keep mother daughter communication and bond to educate them. 🙏 it helps me and her as well.

[@buddhaexhumed9922]

Thats interesting. You are correct. I fail to understand what you meant. Anyway, as an aside. Very educative. I love his videos. Please allow me to interrupt. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you.

We want more videos from you atleast for 3 videos in a week about our guru maha Bodhisattva I am more curious to know more about Buddhism Thank you for uploading those videos Namo Buddha ya

This is a great way of controlling the mind.Thank you for teaching us simple ways to use Buddhist word to our daily life. Namo Buddhaya

[@danaicastillo6472]

Bhante thank you kindly, practicing the teachings and lately methods of how to control the mind have led to many small steps that concluded to a calm and understanding conversation and arrangement with the landlord of the small house I rent(the one we had gone to the police) My contract got renewed for a little more time that gives me time for finding a work that will lead me to a better quality of life. Till now I hadn't found another place to go so I have gained some more time, before deterioration🌼⌚🌾 Thank you the most for all this effort of teaching a superior quality of mind and life. I pray for you, many blessings and merits🌼🙏⌚🛡️ Namo buddhaya 🌾

This is great teaching. I did not know anything about Buddhism until coming across this channel. This is such helpful information. Thank you so much.

[@suzieq5174]

I'm so glad I found this. I have been actively acknowledging rough thoughts but at the same time determining where it actually comes from. Like what brought on such strong thoughts in the first place. Most of the time I can't work out why they suddenly appear but I do make a conscious effort to stomp on it the moment I realise its in my head. Your tips are very helpful and though I don't know much about Buddhism I do appreciate helpful mindfulness. Kia Ora to you. From New Zealand

[@DOC_Naive]

Thankyou so so much..Each and every word of yours was much needed for me right now

[@bruxulaandrews5369]

[@bidyum14]

I cannot thank you enough for taking your precious time to share the Buddhist way of life with us. I was going through the worst phase of my life and suddenly came across this channel. It changed my life entirely. I have made a habit of watching this channel multiple times a day and that brings me inner peace, something I had never felt before. I have been trying to follow monk habits and I can see the change in me. Your videos helped me deal with pain without being angry and hurtful. It taught me how to forgive without being resentful. I have nothing but my sincere gratitude.

[@jamiereife5581]

I do not recall where I heard it, but when you catch yourself thinking a negative thought, immediately say out loud or in your mind, “cancel, cancel” and them smile to let your subconscious know that you didn’t mean that negative thought. It really works. In fact, I thought it to my daughter and grandchildren and at first they laughed at me but I catch them doing it all the time 😊 because it works.

Hola Thero. Great message today. I totally understand what you say but regarding desire in my mind I don't feel it as a negative emotion and I am experiencing a conflict inside of me every time I have these types of thoughts. I feel that desire is an emotion that is needed in our lives besides the sexual desire also as a motivation to keep doing the things we love. Also if a lay person that is in the spiritual path surrender the desire then how can someone make a relationship without this element in his life? It's a struggle lately I am dealing with because I feel that the emotion of desire it's not negative or harmful. Thank you Thero for your support and kindness.. You are my master and a light in my heart. Metta meditation has changed me following your teaching.. Blessings to all the sanga in the monastery.. Namo Buddhaya ❤️♥️🙏💜

Controlling your mind is not easy thing to do especially if you are terribly mad. Doing somethibg else like watching your favorite drama, doing art work, hugging your pet may help you shift your thoughts and feelings, from being mad to being calm. Thank you gor your teachibg, well appreciated❤❤❤

[@reesemorgan2259]

I'm glad you said that, because I can't seem to calm down at times. I just re-run my big failures in my mind and then my descent seems inevitable. I don't doubt that I have bad karma. To cope I often favour indulging in distractions such as watching The Dodo clips about rescuing shelter dogs destined for enuthanasia. Do what you've got to do etc.
