Meditating on Emptiness, Signlessness & Aimlessness | Thich Nhat Hanh

Thich is the best way forward anyone can get insight to understanding because we've all experienced what Thich is teaching.

Thank you for posting videos of Thay ❤ always appreciate and grateful for Plum village and Thay’s transmissions of Buddha’s teachings. Thay mentioned “you reap what you sow”and things don’t happen by chance. I’m just trying to link it to my current sufferings. I understand that sufferings are impermanent, but on that point, it affected me a little as I was thinking why such sufferings befall me (i.e., I just lost my job and my father passed away). I’ve always tried to be as nice as I could be to people around me, but often don’t get the same in response though I understand that I cannot expect people to be nice to me in return. Currently trying to practice meditating on emptiness and that I can work on myself in the present moment rather than thinking of what happened in the past and what will happen to me in future (I am very very lost in my career) but Thay’s words struck me and I’m just thinking what I did that led me to these suffering. Would greatly appreciate any insights from fellow brothers and sisters, and teachers.

I thought about these issues all day. And when I saw your message, I thought maybe it would be useful. I too have gone through difficult moments and I would be happy if my thoughts comfort and enlighten you. There are happiness goals set by capitalist society. It is said that achieving these will make people happy, but this is not true for some people. Some people are more naive, but some are competitive and greedy enough. Therefore, they suffer in adaptation to society. I am not criticizing the system here or those who are happy to adapt to it. I am just against imposing this on people as if it is the absolute path to happiness. What I can tell you after this introduction, brother. As I mentioned, some people will be different from you. No matter what you do, you won't be able to change them. You will agree with me when you feel the difficulty of changing yourself. Therefore, try to contact the best people as possible. It may be difficult to find these people in confrontational work environments, bars, or similar places. You can go to yoga trainings, outdoor sports clubs or Buddhist talks. In this way, you can meet and establish connections with caring people who love nature and people. When you find those good people you can create yor society Sometimes you may encounter unexpected pain. It's a painful truth, and sometimes it's forced into your hands. It takes time for pain to transform from a coal fire into a lotus. Instead of running away from pain, understanding the knowledge it brings, accepting to let it do its job and transform us for the better. There are wrong programs installed in our heads by society. Perception of beauty, selfishness, anger, hatred, jealousy, expecting favors in return, craving, unlimited desires, addictions and many more. *If you want to be yourself, you must first accept your situation. You will accept society, your family, yourself. You will accept its existence without changing anything. You will accept the existence of opposites: good-bad, beautiful-ugly. You will accept what you did. Ultimately you will accept what you have become. There will be no need to escape from yourself or addictions anymore. This is the part where you hold the ember of fire in your hand. *Don't shape yourself into what other people want you to be. Feel and shape yourself as good as you want to be. Someone may provoke you, make you angry, fool you for use or respond negatively to your request. But he can't decide what you feel and how you act. It can't decide what kind of person you are or will be. The kind of person you are is determined by what you are now, not by what you did before, free from others judge, because you are good. And this is the part where you turn into a lotus. Everybody can make mistake, bad choises or had painfull experiments. Allthough them, at the end we can make a fresh start and more wise not to repeat mistakes again. Wish you happy life here and now, my brother/sister. Peace and Love
