    The first question in this video is very similar to my situation. I am largely alone, nobody close to me at all. Most others are tribal in their attitudes to groups and communities, my family is distant, and my work situation is cold and isolating. My cats are close to me, but that's it. I am on social media a lot, but this actually makes my mental state worse at times. The 'thrill' at engaging with others can take a dark turn very rapidly. I think it's best to limit social media usage as much as possible. It is the new opiate of this modern age.

    Hi Bhante, I know you want to keep things simple but as you are already teaching online perhaps a chromebook and an aircard might make it easier to read the questions. You need a special permit to send lithium batteries through the mail so mailing a laptop would not work but perhaps there is a shop in the city that can mail or deliver it. As this teaching grows you may need to upgrade. It may make things easier if it is easier to read the comments, Anyway give it some thought and see if it would help.

  • @AscendingGuru
    @AscendingGuru 23 часа назад

    This is super advanced, one time I got it right. I identified my suffering: I did not lucid dream. I identified my attachment: I never get around to fixing it -super common btw. Then I thought that detaching from that would be a change in lifestyle. Without the suffering I would enjoy lucid dreams! So I looked at the eight steps, then decided to beware of my hands all day. As if my life was a video game in first person view. So I would hold something in front of me, like the gun in a shooting game, like water bottle or phone. And I would think of Doom, the game. Hum the soundtrack. Then I dreamed and became lucid. I decided to touch and feel my body, I could actually feel it. Then, I kinda understood that science is good in this world, but there are options to this world. And what I am, is not just what science says I am.

  • @AscendingGuru

    Yes, and the rule also applies to others. So, there is a need to balance the effect of effort, versus everyone doing actions that narrow down the window of possible actions one can take. Also, the great equalizer, intention into meditation, creating visions that help taking action that would not have been taken, if determined by the default experience alone. However, the determination of others action, on to ones own action, resulting in malevolent behaviour hurting others, is a meditation that can lead to accepting forgiving oneself, thus reducing automatic karma, creating dreams and other experiences.

    • @keepinitrealforgood
      @keepinitrealforgood День назад

      You can become a Dasasīlmata in Sri Lanka where Bhante currently is or or Mae Chi in Thailand. The protocol would be to continue your meditation and go to such countries to see what place and teacher resonates with your practice. Make sure you are aware the meditation itself practiced is the core of what you're pursuing check the Apaṇṇakasutta or Mahasatipaṭṭhāna Sutta they're good guides

    • @noonespecial4171
      @noonespecial4171 День назад

      Remember Dukkha is present in attachment so investigate what it is you expect others to do to accommodate you. If you do not expect others to behave as you want, you will not suffer. It's the belief that there's a person that is suffering and that's what wants attention 🙏

    • @Mevlinous
      @Mevlinous 19 часов назад

      I also have this difficulty, I usually try to notice how my mind state changed after the interaction, and maybe do your best in the future to notice your reactions as they happen as you get better at maintaining mindfulness. If it’s stress or anxiety, that’s a bodily feeling, so you should be paying attention to your breath because that’s an easy object to remain mindful of and you will notice changes in your breathing and heartbeat as you begin your interaction. Also you may get stuck in your mental space, so being mindful of thoughts is also helpful I find. The longer you can remain mindful in the day, the more likely you will remain that way in difficult situations. Another thing I noticed is, I have a particular victim identity. I know that’s not who I really am, I feel most affinity with observing, so it’s also a case of wrong view or personality view, so noticing you aren’t the mind and body related to that victim mindstate might be useful. Hopefully Bhante can offer some deeper insights.

      I'm going through a similar situation. Most of the time, I'm surrounded by people who constantly stress me out. I've only been practicing mindfulness meditation for the past couple of months, but this is how I cope: When you're around people who make you feel stressed, mindfulness can help you stay grounded. Focus on your breath, taking slow, deep breaths to calm your nervous system. Pay attention to your body, notice where you might be holding tension, and consciously relax those areas. Observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment-acknowledge them, then let them pass. Stay present by fully engaging with the current moment, whether it's noticing details in your environment or practicing mindful listening during conversations. If you feel overwhelmed, use a calming mantra or create a mental image of a peaceful place to retreat to. It's okay to set boundaries and step away to protect your mental space. Practice compassion by understanding that everyone has their struggles, and approach the situation with kindness toward others and yourself. Lastly, it's okay to limit your exposure to people who consistently cause you stress. By using these mindfulness techniques, you can manage stress better and maintain your calm, even in challenging social situations.

    @joannekissick-jones6462 День назад

    I wonder if you could reflect and give a talk on boundaries. How you protect the Dhamma in you, the space you live and how you detach & deposess in Buddhism. Could you also consider the difference of that in the Western traditions such as Christianity that seems much more forceful in 'casting out' rather than my experiences in Buddhism is that things will naturally leave or not be attracted to you, or you leave a place in a peaceful fashion. There is a story about monks having trouble meditating in a place (I forget the name of the place) because of the spirits that live there. The monks went to the Buddha asking for help with this... can you remind me. I hope this makes sense.
