It is better to be alone than to feel lonely in a relationship, than to be in the company of wrong friends and if it threatens your peace, well being and happiness
Absolutely
Exactly
*no wonder you feel lonely.*
I agree
AGREED
Even though i'm an introvert, I feel like we are truly social creatures. Solitude is enjoyable when you know it is not 'forever' and that there are friends and family you can spend time with when you want. A sense of belonging is important. Connection.
Totally agree with you. I think it's all about balance. We need our social time and we also need our valuable alone time. Both are necessary!
Exactly! Solitude is only enjoyable when you know it's not forever, but when you don't have friends, or only be able to meet a friend once in a few months, enjoyable solitude has become extreme loneliness. That is my case. To me, this monk hasn't really experienced true loneliness and try to teach people about how to face loneliness.
@@margaritakleinman5701 I definitely agree with this. As much as possible I try to choose the middle way and balance.
@@queenofthepierats3488 Agreed, I always try to follow the middle way.
I agree, solitude is nice and can actually be enjoyable when there’s time for connection with others.
I am often lonely, so I decided to work on my health. I have lost 55 lbs in 10 months, my blood pressure is down and so is my blood sugar. I am the most proud of doing it alone, with no help ❤ I know that I'm in solitude now ❤
Well done you ❤️ I bet there's no stopping you now
good to hear that, and i hope you can continue your amazing journey
Proud of u
Kudos to you 👏
I loved being alone for the past 10 years until both my pets recently died and my mum had died 2021. Now it's painful to be at home and so will do a meditation and take it from there. Thank you 💚
Good to hear from you do meditation and do encourage yourself move forward on your life. 😇
I have been in similar situation for 5 years..but sometimes i feel that someone should be there for me.. what is that.. ??..
@@sonator14 thank you so much 🥰🙏😇
@@PradeepSingh028 it may be a longing for someone to be there for you. I can relate to that. 🙂
@@joanneg665 hope so.. 🙏..
“Pain is certain, Suffering is optional.” Gautama Buddha ! Be happy to be alone 😊
"Be happy"? Oh, okay. WHY has no one ever told me that before? SO SIMPLE lol
I just love being alone and enjoy the peace that comes with it without distractions. People and friends are welcome at my place but when I'm alone I'm in my wonderful world with my dog and cat, of course. Respect to you🙏🙏🙏
I have that feeling most of the time, it’s good advice
Thank you so much 🙏
Married or unmarried how you are alone.
When you have your dog, you are not alone it's like family. We need to consider others who even don't have anyone, even a dog. I have a dog , and I'm not lonely.
Being with dogs is far better than being with people👍
@@dinibest True, but with some even if they have a pet, they need human companionship, whereas you and I don't. We're just happy with our pets and ourselves and for me my hobbies too.
This is one message I need for my whole life. Being an introvert, I often feel lonely. I use to think its because of me, my attitude, my way of thinking, and also because I can't stand small talks. But the truth is everyone is different and unique in their own way, you can only be you, not someone else. If this is how you're meant to be than that's how you will. Loneliness is beautiful only if you look at it in a way for you to be you yourself. Turning inwards ❤️. Thanks for this 🙏
Gonna tell the same 🙂
Thanks swami ji .nomo budaya
WE COME ALONE AND GO BACK ALONE. WE TAKE NOTHING WITH US. I FELT THE SAME AS YOU DEAR. THIS CALMS ME SO MUCH.
🌝
Totally agree with everything you said
I embraced solitude because nobody really cares for me, I already accepted it. Thanks for reminding me of the benefits of being alone!
We care for you
It’s ok to feel the way you do but please don’t close the door, be open if you meet someone who cares for you. Remember not everyone can care for you 100%, cherish those who care for you to the extent that they can.
the very fact that the video is there shows that there are many people are there to guide us...being alone or with friends is not significant....at the end of the day how happy we are matters the most....finding happiness is important
same here , i have family but they have their own families so i have to embraced solitude .
I just lost my husband and it’s very lonely. I never realized how lonely life can be when you lose someone special
බොහොම ස්තූතියි අපේ හාමුදුරුවනේ.මටත් තනිකම දැනෙනවා.මමත් තනිකම පරදවන්න උත්සහ කරන ගමන් ඉන්නෙ.මේ දෙන උපදෙස් ඒ සදහා ලොකු උපකාරයක්❤
Loneliness is unavoidable in this era even though we have family and kids. They will leave us eventually, we have to learn how to be alone.
it happen to me
It happens to everyone. 🙏.
Took me 45 years to understand the difference between loneliness and solute. It took me 45 years to understand being alone is an opportunity to work on yourself, study, learn, develop skill sets, exercise, and challenge your mind, body, and spirit. Its funny I no longer feel lonely when I am alone. But on rare occasions while at work I feel lonely around people. But I am starting to realize what I am doing wrong now and watching your video now makes so much more sense.
My sister has tonnes of friends. All friends she met in primary school, senior school, college, work etc are still close friends of her. I never had large cliques of friends. I always had a few close friends. And my friends walked away from my time to time. My mother ridiculed me since I was a kid, that I'm so friendless. Meanwhile, my sister was admired for having so many friends. She said that if trouble comes, there'll be no one to help me. However I have survived to be 39 now. In this country, people always do things in large groups. Solitary people like me are looked upon as failures. We are made to feel as if we were failures. But we are only being ourselves, responding to how others treat us, our way. That's all. Thank you for this video and for the confirmation that being solitary is a good thing too.
This world has two types of people - 1. the common and societal people , who don't have their own thoughts but embrace the societal thinking and 2)the people who follow their own thoughts and are unlike of others ,Here the fi st type of people dominates so it is the right of everyone to follow their own guts
My experience is very similar to yours 🥺
It’s a shame people do this. Solitude is amazing !
Sometimes we need to be alone to understand ourselves better. 🙏.
“We’ve given the key to our own happiness to someone else”. Words worth more than short contemplation.
Im in my most happiest and peaceful state when Im with my own company. When lockdown started and we had so socially distant, I really thought it was the best thing the Universe has given to us.
True
❤ 100%
When lockdown started I reailly thought the ivile arise and cover human mind,compassion karuna disapiers and ivile take place. . I whose one from fist moment of lockdown started this lockdown make by bad people doctors and is fake news false not truth story. I find out how people start create in mind hate ignorance violance if some one like me no cover mask or no teke vacine shoot or dont give my nostris for pcr stick . People belive in restiction start torture atack others just becose this others dont belive virus and restriction are real. Im Budist practisioner 40 years and I never belive what others say is truth like mainstream media and doktors working for them is just like mafia spend fake news to make people scre paranoic and ivile. If you in that time no cover mask no take vacine just practise vippasana you become free from covid ilusion no eny wory and paranoic state of mind will visite your mind just dont folow covid restriction and booom you in nirvana
I felt exactly the same way
100%
I am have no family . I am so alone. But I am fighting
What ever has happened always try to remember everything is impermanent, you never know what's round the corner and you'll never get the day you had yesterday back again, life just goes forward wether you want it to or not, things will get better, stay strong and keep fighting. 🙏.
Yes, you are fighting
This nameless young man is the born presenter. He brings his messages across with that friendly, sincere smile. It's easy to listen to him. Wish you all the best, young monk!
he's a fraud like most monks
His name is Mahindasiri Thero. From Sri Lanka
@@lovadesi Are you sure about his name ? actually I wanted to know his name , but couldn’t find it . but i know that he is from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰.
@@soumi23184 Yes. You can get more details on Google. Search for "mahindasiri Thero"
@@soumi23184 His full name is Pothuhera Mahindasiri Thero...
To be honest im literally crying now. I wanna share with you my story. I'm a born again Christian, i ask myself many times why i have more happiness when im alone, rather than be with a group of people. I thought im an introvert person .
just love yourself. I also an introvert but i not worried as bikku saying we should find own happiness meditation music books make me happy I have selected musicians to listen Alec Benjamin BTS slow songs Japanese songs make me happy my pet make me happy just be happy with what you love
AMMO BORN AGAIN virus eka
Some here too dear
why do some people cry so easily when watching youtube videos
@@Jade-k7 coz it's reflex to my situation
Great!!! Its better to be alone than to be with wrong company/friends. Some people will crash you down emotionally if they dont get what they want. Im more productive alone emotionally and physically ❤ but im blessed to have good family around me❤️
I never looked at loneliness that way. Thank you for the advice!❤
That is so true! Nowadays I am so grateful for my time alone. Not having to listen to all the little banalities of life ('we are out of eggs, the dog has chewed my shoes', etc.'). It is a rare chance to go for a walk, do a bit of walking meditation and so on. :)
I'm really really thankful for this channel. Currently my life is not in the right track like and I'm emotionally so much damaged that I can't even imagine and express my feelings to any one. This channel, this young monk, his each and every video really makes me feel like I'm improving my emotions and gathering positive energy around me . Thank you so much.
"Loneliness" is wanted to be valued and loved ... and never getting it. That's the difference between Lonely & Loneliness.
This is probably one of the most valuable Life Lessons and one that should be taught in secondary schools so that when people close to us leave, we don’t all get depressed, suicidal and hooked on medication to cope. Life is tough and the more equipped you are to deal with it when it fails you, like the lovely monk says, the better your journey through it will be.
Happiness in solitude. Well said!😊👍🏻❤️
❤
OMG i just love you so much ❤️ Om Namo Buddhaya 🤗🙏 needed this so much now
.. from now on its only solitude thank you for clearing this 🌱🌞
I am really loving these wonderful videos, filled with wisdom and valuable advice. And this lovely monk, with his calm, soothing voice and radiant aura. I could listen to him forever!
Thank you Bhante for explaining what is loneliness and solitude now I understand it. Once again thank you so much. Namo Budahaya 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Sitting down, closing my eyes, relax and listen to this made me feel these words deeply. So I could feel the peace inside me. Thank you master🙏🙏🙏. Listening to this in every morning will make our day better.
You can tell how much this guy is peaceful by his glow 🌟
AS A BUDDHIST I AGREE WITH YOU 100% SADDHU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT CALMS ME SO MUCH JUST LISTENING TO YOU.
I have broken out of loneliness by spending time with the Lord, Jesus Christ, everyday. The same way I eat everyday I spend time reading the Holy Bible and praising God everyday. Renewing my mind to the word of God. Also, serving in my local church helps too.
I learned many things from Buddhism which helps in Spiritual life💙👍
Namo Buddhay🙏
Thanks Swamy 🙏 I feel lonely especially around the holiday times. Though I’m happy my imagination is everyone else is having a great time with their families and friends but I’m alone. I refuse to appreciate the blessings around me. This video seemed like it was a direct message for me. Will try better to practice this approach to life. 🙏
Not a swamy btw
Buddhists use Bhikkhu and Bhante for Buddhist monks, not Swamy.
@madrasapattinam I too feel the same way.. 😟
I feel the same . I only have my mum and she’s not a nice person
I have hidden myself away from the world and people beacuse of trauma
@@nimzsakrajz6101 😂
Bhanthe keep doing the great work, this world needs more of it...🌎
I deeply undergone all your guidelines in my life without knowing that I was following the Supreme Buddha's teachings. Thankyou so much for your guidance further.
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️❤️. It relaxs and calm my mind down as my mind was confused n feeling something was missing.
Totally agree and true. I love solitude.. makes me motivated. Thanks
This is such a nice presentation. I would like to mention that I have learned to remind myself when I start feeling lonely, there are spirit guides and guardian angels all around me supporting me in my challenges. Without people around, I can listen more closely to the messages they are trying to send me. Without fail, I find the strength and the answers I need because we are never truly alone.
Excellent! I’ve been practising solitude for so many years now - I feel so normal being alone!
Great wisdom in this lesson, Bhante. May you be well and happy 🙏
I am grateful to come across this Channel..It helped me immensely..🙂
Yes absolutely currently I'm enjoying my freedom...your words are truly amazing and inspiring
Thank you for sharing this video. At this moment I am feeling so feared and lonely about traveling alone but after listening to you I felt as if some spark of hope and happiness got lighted in front of me. Thank you very much for deepening my knowledge on solitude.
Thanks so much for your encouraging words. That helps me a lot. Find yourself in the solitude.❤
So glad I listened to this, although I am happy being on my own, some thoughts of loneliness were creeping in and this video came about at the right time to remind me to enjoy my solitude and not depend on others for my happiness ❤
🤟
Yes, but what do we do with our basic need for connection and feeling valued?
Namo Buddhaya. Thank you so much Bhante🙏I really like your dhamma sharings. They give me better understanding about how to live to the fullest & meaningful.
The explanation of loneliness and solitude is worthy enough and very appealing. It is very encouraging. Truely I love loneliness and always try to utilize every moment of it in doing something which I ❤
I’m crying while listening to you sir. I hope I can help someone but they think I’m always disrespectful. I will try my luck to make someone happy whom I knew lately.
Beautiful..."we have given the key to our happiness "..
Thanks for this..I will practice solitude so I will no longer give people this key.
My gratitude for sharing this beautiful message Amen 🙏
🙏 thanks for your spiritual session it is great message! I learned so many things to change my life style. Namo Buddhaya 🌺 🌸 🌺 🌸
So far I never feel lonely even I'm single. I felt not enough time and too many things need to be done. I spend most of my time working, meditation, listen to dharma, yoga, go temple, traveling, spending time with family, go outing with friends, appreciating and enjoy with natural beauty...list never end. May you take care of ourselves happily in a healthy way.
your happy content like me like the buddha where never alone am single way of life buddha blessings
this message is for people who have no family or friends, who feel lonely...
@@urmibora yea what should ppl who don't have these...do ? Survival is way too difficult

I love to listen to u... Every talk I listen to.. Make me more and more energetic... Today your talk on loneliness has really helped me to go to know what is loneliness... Thank you very much for enlighting us... God bless u... Namo Buddha 🙏🌹
True ape hamuduruwane. This is exactly what I needed to hear in this moment. I'm truly happy that I found this Dhamma video of yours. 🙏🙏 I quite often watch those videos even if I'm busy sometimes. But never forgetting that I must keep going according to Dhamma no matter what. Namoo Buddhaya 🙏😊

My love of life passed away 6months ago😢 , she was my entire happiness and i tied everything to her, now after her departure im finding it hard to go on.
I have been trying to keep going for the sake of living but everyday gets harder than each passing day.
I would love to hear about grief and later life. If something will ever fix me.
I hope this message will find you and find you well❤
😥 keep up good work brother .. past is past..

I am so sorry for your lost 💔💔💔💔💔☹️ please take care.♥️🙏♥️
I thoroughly understand my beautiful man has been now gone five years, and I really had to start from scratch. I did some counselling with others that experienced loss that did help. I found that others that went through the same experience had much to share one day at a time with source in my heart has made me so much stronger and I’m totally grateful to be here. Every day there are thousands that never woke up like truly is a gift.😃
Brother. It's painful.
Time will heal. Trust the process. God bless. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great advice to be positive when we feel loneliness. Thank you for giving these advices swaminwahansa. Namo buddaya 🙏🙏
Namobuddhay 🙏
Great video
I'm watching from India🇮🇳. I like to see, listen and reading about Lord Buddha.
I was an extrovert. For many reasons i lost many friends. Then moved into a period of loneliness. Gradually without realising what is happening i began to like Solitude
My loneliness brought to your video and appreciate you my friend 🙏🏽🕊
Great ….to learn that loneliness is good. What you said it makes sense to us. I always think Buddha is a great philosopher. I love to practice meditation but not so often.
This is the best video from you dear monk. It puts into perspective what is loneliness and what is solitude. Thank you once more for your sharing your wisdom with us...😎😊❤👍
Dear Thero,
I like the way of your explanation. You explained very easiIy and thanks
For differentiating between loneliness and solitude.
I never feel lonely because I enjoy my own company. all have bad days l have also but i accept my all situations .
Al my life i have been experiencing loneliness and i dont know how to deal with it untill today after watching this video. Thank you so much my best Teacher

,
Thanks for this valuable lesson that I came across today. It has completely changed in my perceptions about loneliness, which is really a negative thing like I had thought before. And now I’ll practice the state of solitude to have a better life ❤
Thank you kindly Bhante for your optimist words🌾
I am a solitary person and I enjoy it but for surviving in this world I have to participate. And it is good for beeing of benefit.
I consider you and brothers as good friends, and your teachings of beneficial advice and protection ,so the feeling of loneliness in crucial times cannot be overwhelming 🌾🌸
Many blessings for all your effort 🕯️
Thank you kindly, Namo Buddhaya 🛡️
In this sansara solitude is the path of enlightenment ...🙏🙏💐💐 this sermons more helpfull to remind it constantly ...🙏💐
Your words enlighten me. 🙏
I love this speech..namo buddhaya
A very useful message for a generation of us who are always encouraged to be out and about and busy and achieving things and socialising and being over-scheduled.
I knew oneday this channel will grow more than main channel. at the beginning I remember how is this, Now I am happy, cuz this channel give peace to the world. Thank you so much everyone and godak pin siyaludenatama. Namo Buddhaya..
Namo Buddhaya 🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️
🙏🙏🙏🙏❤🙏🙏🙏🙏සාදු සාදු..
Thank you dear monk🙏🙏. I actually feel loneliness from childhood because my interest and habits were different from virtually all my peers. For instance, I am perhaps the only one among my entire class who takes Buddhism seriously. I have been a vegetarian from middle school on, and nobody else understood how I could have almost all my meals without meat. I understand that I will have to face loneliness, and my belief in Buddhism never changed. Thank you for telling me that I must hold the key to happiness in my hand🙏🙏
❤
I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST. AS A BUDDHIST I FEEL YOU HAVE AND YOU UNDERSTAND THE BUDDHIST WAY OF LIFE SIMPLE LIFESTYLE AND TO BE HAPPY AND CONTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. YOU ARE DOING GREAT CAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT LIFE.
its impossible to realise your innate peace and freedom,without realising your aloneness.
Your utterly alone,because there;s nothing other than everything
You are great to have been in Buddhas path from such a young age. As we are born again and again in this Sansara you are well ahead of many of us to be where you right now. May you achieve enlightenment 🙏💐🙏💐
@@savithriedezoysa4364 Thanks and best wishes for your enlightenment as well🙏
This is an important lesson today.. Today there is so much pressure to unthinkingly live with angst and distraction.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, because they are so FULL of content, thank you very much ❤
Bhante I don't understand English but your words are very beautiful I am a buddhist I am very happy to be born as a buddhist🙏🙏🙏
Nobody is born budhist or some other religion… it’s the decision you make to be on right path,right thinking just like Buddha.. budha isn’t God… he only gave teaching for life.. teaching of life’s truth and only truth…… this is us people who don’t understand his simple teaching, easy teaching…. We are engaged in worldly desire’s and GOD like things.. we need to just come out of it and focus on self motivation and improvement…….. anyone can follow budhas teaching…..it’s for everyone born………….. yeah if you feel happy to be born into family which already followed budhism…….. then you are just blessed my friend…………🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Buddha is higher than our concepts of God.
That is why we take refuge in Him and none other.
Thanks to people whose families were Buddhists, Buddhas teachings have come down to us.
In my all of life lots peoples refused me ..without any reasons ..i was tried to be friendly with everyone ..but i dont know why ....they all disappointed me ..i was sad,cried ,worried many times in my life because of i always had try to find happy from others ..but today i understood everything we have to find happy from ourself ...its imagine nobody can stolen ..thx for make me realize by nomo budhdhaya....🙏🙏🙏
Please take care 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹♥️♥️♥️
the words of yours make me feel calm!! i dont know how much thankfull i am to you!!
I follow these Buddhism page... Namo Bhuddaya... Thank you so much for sharing beautiful thoughts
Today was a difficult day, but this is going to help me in some ways.
I’m in a learning mode I try to learn the best I can from the good and bad days.
Life is a gift in the end of the day, doesn’t matter in what situation you are, you are lucky to be alive and the rest of the issues in life shouldn’t be all your life it’s just part of it, don’t let that part represent or reflect you. Don’t let that little part be all you.
🙏
Never ever give up
Yeah it's true....I usually be alone and enjoy everything with my own self, rather than staying with friends it's better to be alone...specially in school too I be in alone with friends....But now after hearing this video I make my mind to be alone in my life 😊
Thankyou sooo much🙏,
I really needed to hear this message right now in my life.
It gave me a feeling of hope, instead of feeling loss like I have been feeling of late.
Bless you for your words of wisdom 💛🌻.
Thank you. I needed this. It’s definitely better to be alone than in bad company.
Namo Buddhaya..... 🙏🙏🙏
I found that if you have a pet...you are never alone! It's a time for self reflections and improvement. No truer words have been spoken!
i am watching this video while crying.....thanks for givimg me clarity.💙namo buddhay 💙
You are amazing, dear Monk.
Thank you for your beautiful words 😊🙏🏻☀️
So if I'm getting this right: Loneliness is desiring what is external as a source of happiness whereas solitude is desiring what is internal as a source of happiness.
Namo Buddhay 💙 🙏...
Perfect timing as always needed this right now thankyou 😊💕
Your smile and happy face makes me happy and all your lovely words life is precious as you say enjoy the moment in time x
Peaceful Solitude ❤is the goal
