I think if you just take care of yourself, let's say for your own "spirituality", and you are in a monastery or with people who take care of you...... it works. But with all the respect that this holy man can inspire and with all the respect that I can have for difference opinions, I would like to know what this sympathetic monk did for his family and community? Let's say for improving the life of all that are in the need? And works, for his own health? I spend sometime with gays repeating chants and mantras along the day, having wonderful "philosophical talks" and getting tree meals a day. It was "fantastic", no stress, no depression, no fear, no anger, just flying in this great atmosphere. But all these guys, didn't have children to feed, work to do (or to loose), tax responsibilities for the well being of the community. So I insist, this work, but go to tell war refugees or hungry people who has nothing for feeding their babies tonight all this great techniques.....
every1 has all problems in this life but are you ready to release ur burdens and give up comparing ur life with the other ? if you can't live ur life without any hatred..., how can u care of other ? Do u think if ppl hurt u by mistake, will u hit them back ?
Just a pain, not 'my' pain. Great advice, thanks Bhante.
Elliott - Thank you and your smile has been forwarded!
What a great teacher and wonderful man. :-) Smiling toward you Ven. Vimalaramsi
Now I clearly understand. it isn't about asceticism, it's about "me ". Not my pain , only pain. We appreciate the lesson Bhante! Thank you from Brazil
Wow! Bhante is da man. Non anesthetic root canal is no joke.
Oh my god…wish I found out about this years ago! 🙏
This is wonderful advice :)

Did he say root canal without anaesthesia? Oh my dear god.
Does this work for severe trauma ?
Always remember your kind hearted smile on your face. Depression has gone😁

I have herd there are people, who are sexually aroused when feeling physical pain. They don't get randy in normal state of mind.
