The Secret to Problem-Solving | A Monk's Perspective

The Secret to Problem-Solving | A Monk's Perspective
The secret to problem solving and changing one's life is with neutrality. When a person does not look at their problems or their life situation neutrality, then it interferes with their ability to actually fix the problem. In this video, I outline why it's difficult for people to solve their problems and give you practical tips of how you can overcome this issue using the buddhist monk wisdom. I hope this video gives you another perspective to looking at how to solve a problem. #mentalhealth #monk #buddhism

1:45 What gets in the way of seeing clearly?
6:23 Car analogy
10:09 How monks train to see clearly
14:27 Buddhist lens to fixing your problems

How neutral are you when looking at your problems?

[@MindNow]

Not too neutral because the ego gets in the way...

[@kleckerklotz9620]

I try to not think in terms of problems, but instead of situations. I try to ask myself what are the motivations of my counterparts. What did they experience? When they behave badly, I almost immediately think that they must have had a bad history. I can't know who I'm reminding them of. So they don't treat me well. I try not to take it personally. I am not wrong. And they are neither. It's a situation. And nothing more. It's the same if they think poorly of themselves. I feel honestly sorry for them, if they behave badly. And I try to help if I can. I see situations like chemistry. If you mix certain chemicals, you get an explosion. If you mix others, you get a tasty juice. Nobody can be the superchemical, which is able to always produce juice. That's just impossible. But you can learn to forgive at least the explosions you experienced and value the juice instead. And if you encounter a possible explosion you can limit the damage. In any case, it's a difficult path. But hey, that's life.

[@MindNow]

@@kleckerklotz9620 haha, I love the last sentence “that’s life”. U know, I was just journaling just now (yeah, at work journaling...not really the most productive thing to do is it? 😅 but oh well, here I am doing It anyway) and i said _seriously, what am I doing here? I feel like I'm always satisfying others and not myself...then again, I'm asking myself that maybe this is what I have to go through. This is the way how it's supposed to be. Shit...I have to be patient or learn patience and that's why I'm still here doing this because I think this is what life is. This is how life is supposed to be. Ups and downs_ This might hv nothing to do with what u said previously, but the last sentence “that’s life” just spoke to me 😄🙏❤️

[@dorismollenhauer6866]

It depence on the issue.When my father is the problem i get stucked in it in seconds.But it takes me hours to come out of it.

[@MindNow]

@@dorismollenhauer6866 u know, everyone has triggers and sometimes it’s super easy to fall into them and with me in some instances, when I’m in them, I’m IN them. I actually hv to force myself to be in another state to spot the behavior.

I really appreciate the fact that you are sharing this priceless teaching without even asking people to like, subscribe and click the notification bell. Thank you. 🙏

Thank you Jean 😊😊 definitely no need for that :-)

[@SundayBoy72]

I remember Ven Nick has said in one of his earlier video that he is not interested in subscribe nor being the best author. He I believe hope that these sharing can help people. By adopting the practise and teaching of Buddhism to bridge the mental health. What attracts me is Ven Nick wordings. If I listen carefully and be still, the words he use are often mindful and non violent. Importantly, Ven Nick come across to me as a person. Real and open book.

Everyone wants to fix the world, and no one wants to fix themselves. I agree, that we need to take a step back and really self analyze. Our Ego is powerful and often we feed it. We can all learn how to still the Ego. It would be beneficial.

An exception is the recycling failure problem. The individual is doing their duty. After it moves out of our residence is where failure after failure occurs until it ends up in piles in China or in the ocean. Decades of propaganda by big Petrol has successfully shifted the blame from themselves with regard to plastic recycling to the individual.

[@prianthagovender649]

I watch the richest of people, and the wealth and luxury doesn't move me, but when I observe Nick there is something so priceless, and calm within him. Monks have no expensive adornments, but there is a beauty to them that is second to none. Will the western world ever attain this, or will we suffer forever, in our own created hell?

[@nickkeomahavong01]

Sadhu sadhu. thank you so much for your kinds words 🙂🙂🙂

[@AnrupB]

This is literally how I recovered from PTSD a few years ago. Now, it’s harder to meditate as deeply due to a heavy chronic illness, but I apply the same approaches to the recovery process (tracking activities, symptoms, habits to change, etc.) I believe neutrality is the key to happiness and health!

I have to step outside of my ego to really see if it's a real problem or not. Most of the time it's a problem within the ego(ego perpective, bias and views). In reality most issues in our minds are not real issue, we just make it so. :D Love the buddha perspective. Thanks for sharing brother!

[@essay7425]

I have watched this video and listened to your speech several times now. The picture you are drawing with the broken car is very wise and hits the point. What I have had to learn - and to accept! - was that very first step which I had always missed or rather did not know that it was crucial: To step back and let it cool down first before you start to take apart, to examine, to clean, to replace, to reinstall, to fix. This first step to let everything cool down is not a waste of time...it is investing time wisely to make all next steps possible. How many times have I only been burnt and made things worse because I was so eager and stressed to get things fixed somehow, quickly, without a plan, just in a rush and in a state of grief or shock or anger or despair. Which only caused more stress, confusion and suffering. Your videos are very precious and helpful. THANK YOU 🙏 Best wishes to Thailand from Germany

Wow thank you so much for sharing that. That's wonderful insight and very honest. Thank you :-)

Venerable Nick: ive been listening to your videos daily for months and they have been a great resource and inspiration to me. i find you to be a great teacher and orator. your message is approachable, relatable, clear and concise. the way you tie into mental health is wonderful. i have just started reading on buddhism and am reading carefully "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching" by Thich Nhat Hanh. As i apply concepts to my life seriously i am finding buddhism to be a spiritual path that clicks with me. almost like, finally this is what settles with my soul. i want to convey this joy to my friends and loved ones, but i feel as though i am a newborn to it and not experienced, so i often refer them to your videos since they are much of why i started this path. thank you ❤
