How To Say No To Unimportant Things In Life | Buddhism In English

[@shahinalom7949]

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.

[@Arsad-f2g]

Knowledge has no any religion brother ,I am also muslim

[@SankaTilakaratna]

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 ❤

[@danamockeviciute2627]

Namo ❤Buttaya all year long. DearBoudist. But. what does it mean?.And is it well written. 🍐🥭Happy New Year.

[@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?

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.

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.

[@joydeep_editz]

I won't say for others, but I would say for me personally. This man has taught us such an emergable things through of his video. By my aspects, I never can't say to no anyone. Ar the time of saying yes , I never think why I am doing for them , is it helpful for me , or is it necessary to me ? But some amazing point he has figured out by this video. Before saying yes to other, we have to prevent ourselves saying yes to un important doing in our life. There is always many reason to saying yes on unimportant things for others. But we don't do that Never. Naturally, in majority times people are used to saying yes other on unimportant work. Before happening that . We have to understand that what is the difference between important and un important things, would any obstacles come towards me ? And also we should think about When we go to say yes other on important things.

I think the way to overcome guilt is to take ourself as a child and say to urself that mistakes can be done. It is better not to repeat them so from then you would have a changed you who is well aware of what is not be done ever .forgive urself and move ahead with a progressive mindset
