Aloha and thank you with all my heart for sharing your personal journey, It helps. I moved across the ocean to an island community to be with a very special man. I sold my house and shipped my belongings. 4 months after I arrived he left. He promised to return shortly so I waited and hoped and prayed for over 3 years. Thankfully I'm in love with this special island of Oahu and it supports me and blesses me everyday. But...this is so hard. Nothing in my life has prepared me for this, not my Christian faith, not my close family or friends, or my many degrees and education. Nothing. I thank you for your bold honesty because it's what we need to hear. I'm receiving therapy and I cry often. I wear my sunglasses a lot! Mahalo with all my heart. Mahalo me koʻu naʻau a pau.
This exact thing happened to me and it took me at least eight years to heal. It changed me into a far more compassionate and empathetic person and I am now grateful for the things I have and am letting go the ones I don't. I am in awe of you for reading that letter. Your love for others shines through your pain. Thank you.
You are a very special being! I came across this post of yours. After 14 years of marriage, she left me. It was not her it was me, but I also grew more than anything else in my life. Thank you Venerable Nick for your openness.
Just stumbled across this. So so so powerful. Have shared it with someone who is going threw a life changing hard time. As always, you are such an inspiration venerable Nick. Sadhu 🙏
Great video. I had a 7 year relationship which made me resonate a lot with your letter. I recently met someone who I truly loved and who I thought loved me and really believed that everything was going to be happily ever after. How sad that won’t be the case. It’s been a real rough last couple years and although that pain isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, your video was good to hear.
Wow. It took me 8 years to come to a realization and be at peace with the truth that I didn’t want to face. Yes you told the truth. I thought I was the only one that went through this for this amount of time of healing.
Wow! Venerable Nick with a cellphone, hair, and a FB account! (And cussing!) Thank you for sharing this. Your journey is so inspiring to me and it is merit to dip into your past and learn.
You are such a kind, warm and resilient person. But you were able to grieve and survive this and become the person you are today: joyful, grateful and compassionate. I admire you for your strength and determination to keep moving forward to fulfill your mission in this life.
A break-up or/and break-down calls you down a path that sends you where you need to be. This happened to me. I had to grow stronger to be there when my then ex-husband became ill with a degenerative neurological disease so that I could then protect him and our children, physically, emotionally, and economically. I cared for my ex until he died and kept a roof over everyone's head. That was my purpose but I could have only done it because I was called on my path to get the help I needed so that I could then have the strength to fulfill my life's work which was the love of my husband and family.
Seriously Nick, I cannot tell you of my gratitude. For 10 years, I've been whoring around the streets, losing my mind in institutions, losing jobs, moving around, all because of that one man that I loved too dearly to keep. Nobody really tells you what you need, in order to start anew. Nobody really knows what to tell you, at all. But you tell it so clearly, so obviously, what it is all about. I cry tears of deep grief, but also, of joy, because you are actually telling me the truth nobody has the deep heart to tell me. For your words in this video, I know deep inside that I will be okay. I will not be the same person anymore, because I am already shutting myself off from the world, hiding in my own cocooned nest, where I web myself a cave for my own thoughts. This is what I need, in order to hybernate from the world that I gave up on. I love your videos so much, your authenticity and honesty is healing this world. Namaste.
Awww thank you so much my friend. I'm glad this resonates with you and my heart goes out to you. I understand this suffering deeply. Take this as a gift and begin your new life. Invest in you now. It's important :)
Thank you so much Nick for sharing your most personal experience with us all.. I got divorce a few years ago after over 20yrs of marriage.. But now I'm really happy in my 2nd marriage to my soul mate.. Love & Blessings to you 🙏🏻🙂
Thankyou Nick. Everything you said so resonates with me. I walked away from a long marriage, the love of my life and the father of my beautiful daughters. I had a breakdown and went into deep debilitating depression. I remarried but that has not worked out and I walked away a year ago. I have been living with friends and feel strong enough now to move into my own home. It has been a difficult path and at the age of 64 Ii will be living alone for the first time in my life. I have, I am a bit scared but excited to be moving on with my life. I feel blessed to have wonderful family and friends but even so it is a scary time. I have trust in the universe and deep down I know I will be OK. Your video is beautiful, thankyou for sharing with us, it has validated for me what I know to be true. I too am grateful for all that has happened as it has made me look into myself and I am going along a more spiritual path. Life is not easy and at times I have not wanted to be here. I look into the eyes of my beautiful grandchildren and I know why I'm here and what I must do. I feel so much unconditional love from them and that gives me the strength to go on. ❤️
Nick I am 52 years old. I am deeply moved and impacted by you and your generosity for all of us. I have been wandering aimlessly for years and have tried so many things to try to move forward in life. I stopped trying and have been stuck while falling further behind on my journey . I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation . Thank you
My mom had sent me this video and it means so much. I am in so much pain from a breakup that I did not see coming and although I feel worthless right now, I see that this may bring me much closer to myself. Thank you for sharing
Wow. I'm glad it resonates with you and my heart goes out to you. I definitely understand it. Sending you my blessings from Thailand. Hang in there and be kind to yourself during this time. ☺️
Nice to see you before you went monk. There's something very courageous when a film actor lives his character's life and feelings right in front of a camera....it's even more so when you aren't acting! Much respect and admiration.
I have been watching your video as Monk but I haven’t yet seen your video before that. Now I am watching this and I can see behind that person, there is another story which shaped your life. I am so grateful that I came to know this channel and the content is so amazing. It is another way for showing your kindness. Thank you and you are really helping a lot of people out there.
Thanks Nick for being willing to be vulnerable and to share from your heart. It was a beautiful message. Suffering can be our best teacher. I enjoy all your videos. You're a great inspiration!
I stumbled this videos not by accident I think...Seing him currently became a venerable who shares the merrits by teaching the Dharma...and his insights during ups and downs in this journey of life is marvelous. Thank you for sharing ...this video truly help me as an individual to follow to choose my path thru Buddhists teaching..Thank you...
Nick, I want thank you for all of your videos, especially this one. I had just been through my first real heartbreak in the past month but your videos really got me through it. I had just sent my final message to my ex with all of the knowledge and advice that you have given me, and I feel like i'm in my final stages of moving on. I've forgiven and asked for forgiveness, let go of my resentment, and I found true compassion and happiness for her and her next relationship. I'm ready to love myself and to love in my next relationship. I got comfortable in all of the feelings I felt throughout it and I have true appreciation for the experience. Thank you Nick for your story and for your assurance. Without you, it would've took me a lot longer and I would've suffered a lot more than I needed to. I'm more grateful than you could ever know.
Aww I’m glad it was helpful my friend. My heart goes out to you. Break ups are never easy. I’m glad you’ve been able to use a lens of wisdom to look at your situation. Keep up the great work 😊
I’m so sorry you went through that. You have helped me so much!! Age 17-37 I was physically and emotionally abused. Been on my own 20 years now and happy with Buddhism. Thank you ❤️
I know you posted this several years ago Nick and that you are now on your new path as a monk, but I wanted to thank you for your honesty and bravery in talking so openly about this - it really helps. Truth be told I am STILL working through the pain of my first marriage breaking up, after many miscarriages and the pain of not being able to have children - even though this was 14 years ago now and I am now happily remarried. I still find it difficult to confront some of my behaviour back then, which seems unrecognisable to me now. More recently I have gone through the traumatic loss of my wonderful mum, who I cared for for the last two years of her life. Sometimes I feel I will never fully heal..I do feel traumatised. But now, living in Spain I am trying to find my peace and way forward...live a simpler life. I have only just disvovered your videos. But I want you to know they help. And to thank you so much. Wishing you well on the path you are on now, Nick. Kindest regards- Sue M
After the message I wrote to you yesterday on one of your videos I had watched, and my heart being broken, this comes up. I truly appreciate you sharing this with the world 4 years ago, and that it is still here today. I am balling my eyes out. Everything you are saying is 100% about grief. I am doing what I can to help myself . Thank you Ven. Nick 🙏
I’m still trying to move on..I feel I’m shattered. I lost everything that I had, It’s my fault for not loving myself first. My heart still loving that person, it’s hard to forget them. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Twin Flame love requires time to HEAL. Also lots of soul searching and self acceptance and self nurturing. A TWIN FLAME relationship leads you to the path of BUDDHA HOOD. My own experience was torture but, I woke up. You are here to helps millions of souls. 😇😇😇
Thank you for this concept! I have now read about it. I am not sure how it is gonna help me and how (and if) I am gonna recover, but it is good to now that I am not the only one who experiences this.
Thankyou!! You let me feel like my feelings don’t need covered up, this means a lot to me that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thankyou so much
Thank you Nick. I had very similar experience which led me to my divorce. I suffered and that made me into who I am. It made me courageous enough to hear my inner voice and follow it. Funny enough, I was free to accomplish my dream and go to Thailand to volunteer as an English teacher and meditate at the temple in Nong Khai for 10 days. I feel you are so different from me but I understand many things you talk about and I can sign under many words you say. I admire your videos where you share your life as a monk. Keep following your heart and inspiring others for the same path. I am grateful to you for all you do.
Santacitto I believe menas 'Shanta Chitta' in Sanskrit - One who is peaceful at heart :) Beautiful name!!! May you always have the treasure of Shanta+buddha heart.
I am currently where you were and have been meditating a lot I am still suffering but I am working on my inner self ….I am hopeful for the future Nick so with the right guidance from a Buddhist centre and from your videos hopefully the wisdom will allow me too transform too … many thanks Nick
This has provided me with a sense of relief in a rough patch of grieving the loss of a 14 yr relationship that started when I was just 18. Ill be focusing more intently on looking deeply and neutrally at this pain because I think I've been suppressing it. Thank you for another heart-felt video and sharing your thoughts and feelings at a time when you were vulnerable.
Nick, you felt it again when you read the letter, your face expression tells that. When you genuinely loves someone, it will broke your heart deeply, a persons like you never play a relationship. Anyhow life need to goes on, feel the feeling and let go. Thanks for your advice to those need it. 😊
Nick Keomahavong Hi Nick would like to share some video with you, is humantarian mission video, you interested ? ruclips.net/video/pfErn2hKgeg/видео.html
Hello Nick, Thank you for such a beautiful video. I’m 27 and I’m currently going through the hardest time of my life. I recently broke up with my partner of 2.5 years and I no longer see a meaning in my life. I grew up believing that first love is the only love and I used up all my love for them. I can’t love anyone else. I can’t look at anyone else. Would it be possible for you to make a new video concerning break-ups? I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you, Eli
Sadhu Sadhu Eli. My heart goes out to you my friend. It's ok. It takes time to gather all the pieces together but you will make it through it. This is a difficult period, but can actually be an opportunity for growth also. Sending you my blessings from Thailand 😊😊 hang in there and take care of yourself.
💯 thanks for sharing…. I guess I’m still healing ❤️🩹 it’s been years and really I don’t even see me dating in the years to come either. I guess that’s why I love your Buddhist videos. Being alone for me is safe
Hey, Nick! Thanks for posting this video. The letter you wrote moved me to tears. I have been lost and lonely for most of my adult life. Im 50 years old, and have been struggling with anxiety and depression issues since I was about 25. I have my whole adult life longed for someone that loves me, and for the first time, at the age of 48, I met a girl who fell in love with me, but for some reason I didnt feel the same. I loved her as a person, but not as an romantic partner. What happened was that over time, from my perspective, the relationship became more like a great friendship, but she wanted something else. I felt I was trapped, and lacking relationship skills, I just went with it even though I felt it wasn't healthy. I became depressed, and slowly, even though she loved me, she became more distant (very subtle signs) and eventually went into a new relationship (monkey branching/rebound) with another man. In february she dumped me, and I was in total shock. I went into a panic mode that lastet 3-4 months, and eventually ended up in the hospital because of chestpain and panic attack. After months of desperate texting and calling, resulting in nothing but she basically giving me the cold shoulder, I wrote her a letter where I tried to explained what had happened from my point of view. I blamed the depression for why I couldn't meet her needs, which was partly true, but there was also a strong element of codependency that led to the break up. The letter you wrote to your ex-girlfriend resonated so much about how I feel today. I don't need closure, but I need to heal. I realized much to late that I did love her deeply, and the pain (and loneliness) the last months has made me often think about ending my life, but Im aware today that its just the depression talking, not me. I feel likke writing a new/last letter to my ex, but where the motive is genuin self healing. If I feel its necessary to heal, I will do it. Your letter was as if I had written it myself, and for some reason I felt a sense of relief reading it. Thank you Love from Norway
Dear Nick, I am now 49. And to me this has been a lesson that I had to learn years ago. Thank you for your honesty and for being so heart-felt at your decisions. You did great. And so you will for other too. :-)
I've had got hurted many times from the persons that I love the most. I was lost and many time I forgive that person. And allow him to come back to my life again cause of my child. I know noone is perfect and I believe in forgiveness and chances. But I didn't give myself a chance to heals from all the pains he given me. But I know in times will heals. Thank you for inspiration and wisdoms
Thank you for this video. I’ve been on the path of healing of a broken heart from a friend. I opened my heart to her and welcomed her like one of our family members. Now, I’ve been pushed to the side as she found a new friend she called family. There were mental and emotional manipulations. My emotions were up and down the last year and a half. I wanted to say all the things I was feeling and thinking. She said I was thinking too much and that I have to love myself. I was the only one thinking about it and no one else - she said. I decided to walk away and cut ties in June. My heart and emotions are on its way to healing. Along came new perspective and realizations about my relationships (in general), who I am and what I want for the remainders of years on this planet. I hope to visit you when I come to Thailand. Thank you Nick.
God is love and every human being on this earth is love. People need to realize it and the basic human need is love. Good letter by the way sounds like you made peace with the situation. I tried to disconnect cords and energy from a guy from highschool and I didn't even date him but someone made up lies. And I finally had to write a letter to him telling him I didn't make up lies about me or him and I didn't want to see him.
I endured all the pain which caused by my father since childhood. I loved him the most, because of that it’s hurting me the most too. Now I am blamed by my father for going to Psychiatrist. The worst feeling is when you get hurt by your loved one. I am feeling lost and trying to become a better person. Your video are helping me to move forward. Thank you so much❤❤ Lots of love From Switzerland 🇨🇭 ❤
One of the most important things you have said is that you have to know and love yourself before you can love another. How you are dealing with this loss is very mature. You are so encouraging to others. Thank you.
Very wise. Your journey is very pure. Am having changes in my self have been practising medatation and in recovery whilst searching found your video about morning routines. Both of these videos help me wake up to my own journey. Health is everything. My own is having heart irregular beats i felt while meditating someone hold my heart there hand went through my physical body and i felt it hold it. Im taking time to honour myself. Take care thankyou for your progress and direction.
It’s a beautiful journey we are on. First I wrote journey “you” are on. But you let me realize that we are too on our own beautiful journey. Thank you for talking to us so honestly and openly with so much love and truth.
My brother committed Suicide because of a broken heart - luckily survived and turned his life around and instead of giving all his love to one person he gave it to the whole world as a monk - 😊 although you struggled and took a long time to heal. “If it doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” I’m very happy for you and now you helped so many others 🙏🙏🙏 blessed your heart ❤️
Nick, your videos have been so healing for me. I wish I saw earlier on in my experience. Those words, "as long as it takes" are so freeing. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.
Namaste 🙏 Nick I am from India , when recently I got deeply interested in bhudhism n started reading a lot about budha, yor RUclips channel came across and now I am hooked to it. Learned a lot from yor vlogs. And now watching this vlog my belief becomes more strong that whatever happens, happens for some good reason. Yor destiny was different. You are a completely changed human being now , so inspiring 🙏🙏
I can totally relate. I was in a relationship that broke my heart forever. Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to heal properly, it’s been 10 years and I have moved on, but never really had a good teacher who would share wisdom with me and I only wish I saw this video back then. I can feel your pain here, at the other side of the world 💚 thank you for all the great work you’re doing. You are so wonderful, I cannot express how I’m in owe with you and your incredible channel, your emotional maturity, your self-reflective nature and with your ability to express all those deep issuers so clearly and eloquently. Especially after seeing all your other videos and how you’ve progressed and how inspiring you are. That’s why I know Buddhism is the best path and having such beautiful online community really really helps me and, I am sure, many more people. Peace and love to you and everyone who is sharing this human experience in this life on Earth 🙏 wishing you happiness forever😊
Wow thank you so much kazique. Your comment is very touching. It has not been an easy experience, but looking back, I'm glad it did. Thank you for coming across this channel. I'm glad the content resonates with you. Sending you blessing all the way from Thailand :)
It has been 3 years since I broke up with my ex. To be honest, I still not fully get over it yet. Recently, I heard that my ex started to date someone new and it still breaks my heart and brings out my tears. Even though I still can’t move on after several years, I realize that the pain has gradually decreased over time. I first found this video about 2 years ago and so I keep coming back to this video every time I need some comfort. I don’t know how long it’s gonna take for me to be fully healed and finally move on with my life entirely, but I believe that one day it will come. It doesn’t matter that my ex has already moved on when I’m still here thinking about him. I know that I need some more time and that’s okay❤
I have always been one to say to others and to myself.. that I am thankful for every one and every thing that has happened to me because it has made me into who I am right now and I am still growing and changing.. was it difficult.. absolutely.. I was torn apart every time.. but it is a life long process of lessons and growth. I am grateful for all the hardships.. and for the ease of times. It is all balanced.
Dear Nick, Wow, I love your authenticity and transparency! I am so glad I found your channel. I went through a heartbreak and it was very painful for two years. And now the lessons I learned are priceless. I finally know who I really am and what my purpose in life is. I humbly thank You for sharing your insights and gifts. Please keep sharing!
Nick you don’t know how many time I watch this video to understand myself. And how to heal myself...it’s very hard to goes through my days everyday seem to get better but then I get though of that pain and it put me through it once again. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Aww. I'm glad this is helpful. I remember when I was going through it, I was desperately searching on RUclips myself for healing. I needed answers. I needed reassurance. It took me years. I didn't understand why others healed so fast, but my heart seems to take longer than others. I thought something was wrong with me. Now I realize, when I love, I love fully. There's nothing wrong with that. It's a gift and a curse. I just need to manage my heart better. For your situation, just be kind to yourself. I completely understand and can totally relate. Allow your heart to break and it will heal stronger. Much stronger. We need kind and loving people like you in the world. Do not best yourself up. Celebrate yourself and slowly practice more self compassion. You got this! I'm cheering for you! 👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁
@@elreyhipes5821 yeah feel free to reach out anytime. Also if you like, you can join my Facebook group called meditation ninjas. That might give you a community of support.
Nick Keomahavong I took off all my social media I figure all that would be a distraction so I took it off.. but thank you for the invitation 🙏🏽 I’ll keep in touch through here thank you once again.
So sad to hear this. But because of the pain we got the new n better version of you. Be our friend always in this life journey together. Dont ever disappear from us. We need you 🙏🙏🙏
Your pain has made you stronger, you have been released to a new level spiritually. Thank you for sharing. I had my heart broken recently and associated with everything you have said. Your words fill me with hope. Thank you. God bless.
Hi Nick.. I found after a video that my sister send me in my email.. It was about jealousy and you as a monk now in Thailand.. I have see many videos of you.. I am sorry you had to pass all this suffering but I totally agree with you this lessons made you the human being you are now.. You are such a beautiful soul.. I can relate to this.. I break up 3 years ago and it took 1 year to heal and 1 to be alone avoiding relationships.. I came to such great insights and realizations that I had never been before.. Now I am healed and open to meet new people in my life.. It's so true first you love yourself and then the others.. And the most important thing is to heal first before entering a new relationship.. But can I ask you something? I understand that you have chosen a different path and you are happy.. But you still are young don't you have any desire for relationships or you are totally sure that this is now your path ? Sending universal love from Greece ❤️🇬🇷🙏
Thank you so much my friend. Currently I am pretty content with this lifestyle and do not have any cravings for relationships. I am taking this life day by day :-)
@@nickkeomahavong01 thank you for taking the time to reply me!! I understand you live in here and now and enjoy the moment!! Your videos has helped me see different perspectives of me. I would appreciate if you can upload a video regarding friendships and if it's ok to be alone with no friends. Currently I don't feel the need to call someone to go out and I go out by myself I feel more independent.. Also it's difficult to connect nowadays with people.. If they call they are more concerned to talk about their own issues than to ask you how are you doing..
this made me cry. i have been following your videos for setting up routines and meditation, but this showed up today, and boi oh boi, wish I had seen this sooner. better late than never though. still processing grief this 'girl who broke my heart' left me with. but i have had so much progress in my life in all other areas, i can't even begin to write. thank you Nick!
Good on you Nick! I shut down my heart many many years ago and have never opened it to anyone again. That’s why I keep going in and out of relationships. Not ideal but I just don’t know if I’ll ever have the strength or courage to let my walls down again.
So far after watching this video it remind me how I was broke..I can feel the pain thats how i experienced..being cheated from the loved ones really messed up..although he is happy with her..I pray for both of them..but still love him cant forget
HI Nick These are the best words I have heard over a long time.I do follow many others related to self help but somehow this feels very real very raw nothing robotic.Thank you for sharing how you feel and also helping others out there with this.Your destiny has choosen you for bigger things and I wish you become the source of light for those in the dark.
WOW!! I'm overwhelmed by the pain I am reading that so many have gone through & are going through today. I am wondeting about the "whys" this has to happen to us? I am wondering if we as teachers of life, parents, are leaving something out in prepareing our charges for life? Was there something I missed as the student, child? Or is this all just a progressing in life? As a senior adult, I realize I have been suffering, too. Am I missing something, longing for something from my parent/child relationship? Your suffering sounds very much like the same pain within me that wishes for the father that is unknown to me (He was killed during WW2). I have learned along the way to be accepting. Compassion is a new level of my exploring. Thank you Ven. Nice for your incredible sharing. Thank all your teacher for their sharing willingness to teach their wisdom, as well. With each other's compassion we have hope! Blessings to all of us who suffer.
Thank you so much my friend. I'm glad we can share in the humanity and The human experience :-) sending you good wishes from Thailand. Stay safe my friend.
Definitely this is the best break up advice video! Thank you so much your words really comfort me and help me get through hard times💕 I’m glad that you exist in this world.
Nick, there are no words to explain how much I needed this video. Thank you so much for what you are doing. I don't know where my path will lead me after the hardest breakup in my life, but examples like yours help me to believe that there is a light in the tunnel. Thank you.
Hi Elvira! Thank you for watching this video. My heart goes out to you and anyone experiencing a heartbreak. It can be the hardest thing ever. Please continue to be kind and patient with yourself. There really is a light at the end of the tunnel. Use all your energy to develop and heal yourself and you're going to do amazing! 🙏🙏🙏 sending you good wishes to you 😍
Wow! That’s powerful! I see how adversities in my life have shaped me into a person that I’m more pleased with. This is the first pre-Monk vlog that I’ve seen of yours. I’m growing tremendously as learn to practice Buddhist ways. I’m thrilled that I discovered you. Thank you. I wish you abundant blessings.
My gosh ! I felt every emotion from hearing you! Thank you for sharing a piece of your life! I have just started following your work! I came upon this. Made me stop and think ! We are alike in some ways! I wish you the best in life!
Dear Nick, wow how truly painful I can only thank you for sharing this with the world as quite often in the eye of the storm hope is lost and life seems unbearable and filled with one suffering after another! It really sounds like you met your twin flame ( one consciousness but in two physical forms) it is probably the most painful split that nature has manifested for us beings as it’s a deeply spiritual level of consciousness. But as your life has taken a different path the split from your twin flame was an important process no doubt ! But life’s mysteries often don’t make sense to the limited capacity of our mind. You are a mega inspiration 🙏🏼thank you dear soul 🌈♥️
Aloha and thank you with all my heart for sharing your personal journey, It helps. I moved across the ocean to an island community to be with a very special man. I sold my house and shipped my belongings. 4 months after I arrived he left. He promised to return shortly so I waited and hoped and prayed for over 3 years. Thankfully I'm in love with this special island of Oahu and it supports me and blesses me everyday. But...this is so hard. Nothing in my life has prepared me for this, not my Christian faith, not my close family or friends, or my many degrees and education. Nothing. I thank you for your bold honesty because it's what we need to hear. I'm receiving therapy and I cry often. I wear my sunglasses a lot!
Mahalo with all my heart. Mahalo me koʻu naʻau a pau.
With or without hair, you are so full of wisdom, Venerable Nick.
Nick, you have a lot of emotional intelligence, a rare quality for men!!
This exact thing happened to me and it took me at least eight years to heal. It changed me into a far more compassionate and empathetic person and I am now grateful for the things I have and am letting go the ones I don't. I am in awe of you for reading that letter. Your love for others shines through your pain. Thank you.
Aww thank you so much Jennifer 😊
You are a very special being! I came across this post of yours. After 14 years of marriage, she left me. It was not her it was me, but I also grew more than anything else in my life. Thank you Venerable Nick for your openness.
I’m glad it was helpful.
And now you're a monk Nick...Spreading some real and awesome advice. More crazy is seeing you with hair! Love you brother! 🙏 💙
Haha thank you so much 😊
😭 I've been hiding my grief. Seeing this video brought tears to my eyes. I know I need to understand and find my worth again. Thank you....
Just stumbled across this. So so so powerful. Have shared it with someone who is going threw a life changing hard time. As always, you are such an inspiration venerable Nick. Sadhu 🙏
Great video. I had a 7 year relationship which made me resonate a lot with your letter.
I recently met someone who I truly loved and who I thought loved me and really believed that everything was going to be happily ever after. How sad that won’t be the case. It’s been a real rough last couple years and although that pain isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, your video was good to hear.
Sorry to hear about your experience Thomas.
Wow. It took me 8 years to come to a realization and be at peace with the truth that I didn’t want to face. Yes you told the truth. I thought I was the only one that went through this for this amount of time of healing.
Congratulations to the both of us. We survived 😂
Wow! Venerable Nick with a cellphone, hair, and a FB account! (And cussing!)
Thank you for sharing this. Your journey is so inspiring to me and it is merit to dip into your past and learn.
Yessss. 😂😂
What he said! ❤️
You are such a kind, warm and resilient person. But you were able to grieve and survive this and become the person you are today: joyful, grateful and compassionate. I admire you for your strength and determination to keep moving forward to fulfill your mission in this life.
It’s so comforting to hear every time you say “that’s ok” for whatever we go through and experience.
Thank you. It's very important because we have a habit of judging ourselves and beating ourselves up. We need to be compassionate with ourselves. 🙂
🤗Same♥️
I completely agree
A break-up or/and break-down calls you down a path that sends you where you need to be. This happened to me. I had to grow stronger to be there when my then ex-husband became ill with a degenerative neurological disease so that I could then protect him and our children, physically, emotionally, and economically. I cared for my ex until he died and kept a roof over everyone's head. That was my purpose but I could have only done it because I was called on my path to get the help I needed so that I could then have the strength to fulfill my life's work which was the love of my husband and family.
☺️☺️❤️
There is nothing permanent in this world....not even our suffering and sadness. Indeed there is a light in the end of the tunnel :)
😊😊😊
Seriously Nick, I cannot tell you of my gratitude. For 10 years, I've been whoring around the streets, losing my mind in institutions, losing jobs, moving around, all because of that one man that I loved too dearly to keep. Nobody really tells you what you need, in order to start anew. Nobody really knows what to tell you, at all. But you tell it so clearly, so obviously, what it is all about. I cry tears of deep grief, but also, of joy, because you are actually telling me the truth nobody has the deep heart to tell me. For your words in this video, I know deep inside that I will be okay. I will not be the same person anymore, because I am already shutting myself off from the world, hiding in my own cocooned nest, where I web myself a cave for my own thoughts. This is what I need, in order to hybernate from the world that I gave up on. I love your videos so much, your authenticity and honesty is healing this world. Namaste.
Awww thank you so much my friend. I'm glad this resonates with you and my heart goes out to you. I understand this suffering deeply. Take this as a gift and begin your new life. Invest in you now. It's important :)
Thank you so much Nick for sharing your most personal experience with us all.. I got divorce a few years ago after over 20yrs of marriage.. But now I'm really happy in my 2nd marriage to my soul mate.. Love & Blessings to you 🙏🏻🙂
Thank you so much and congratulations!
Thankyou Nick. Everything you said so resonates with me. I walked away from a long marriage, the love of my life and the father of my beautiful daughters. I had a breakdown and went into deep debilitating depression. I remarried but that has not worked out and I walked away a year ago. I have been living with friends and feel strong enough now to move into my own home. It has been a difficult path and at the age of 64 Ii will be living alone for the first time in my life. I have, I am a bit scared but excited to be moving on with my life. I feel blessed to have wonderful family and friends but even so it is a scary time. I have trust in the universe and deep down I know I will be OK. Your video is beautiful, thankyou for sharing with us, it has validated for me what I know to be true. I too am grateful for all that has happened as it has made me look into myself and I am going along a more spiritual path. Life is not easy and at times I have not wanted to be here. I look into the eyes of my beautiful grandchildren and I know why I'm here and what I must do. I feel so much unconditional love from them and that gives me the strength to go on. ❤️
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 sending you my blessings from Thailand
Nick I am 52 years old.
I am deeply moved and impacted by you and your generosity for all of us. I have been wandering aimlessly for years and have tried so many things to try to move forward in life. I stopped trying and have been stuck while falling further behind on my journey . I cannot express my gratitude and appreciation . Thank you
Thank you so much Bill. I can definitely relate to your feeling. Hang in there my friend. Sending you good wishes from Thailand :-)
My mom had sent me this video and it means so much. I am in so much pain from a breakup that I did not see coming and although I feel worthless right now, I see that this may bring me much closer to myself. Thank you for sharing
Wow. I'm glad it resonates with you and my heart goes out to you. I definitely understand it. Sending you my blessings from Thailand. Hang in there and be kind to yourself during this time. ☺️
I went through a break-up recently. Your video and letter touched me so much and helped me realise that I'm not alone. Thank you so much Nick. ❤
Nice to see you before you went monk. There's something very courageous when a film actor lives his character's life and feelings right in front of a camera....it's even more so when you aren't acting! Much respect and admiration.
Thank you so much my friend 😀😀😀
I have been watching your video as Monk but I haven’t yet seen your video before that. Now I am watching this and I can see behind that person, there is another story which shaped your life. I am so grateful that I came to know this channel and the content is so amazing. It is another way for showing your kindness. Thank you and you are really helping a lot of people out there.
Thank you so much Claudine 😊
Yes! your mission must be to teach us, we love you!
Sadhu Sadhu. Thank you christele
Thanks Nick for being willing to be vulnerable and to share from your heart. It was a beautiful message. Suffering can be our best teacher. I enjoy all your videos. You're a great inspiration!
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much John for your kind words. 🙂🙂🙂
I stumbled this videos not by accident I think...Seing him currently became a venerable who shares the merrits by teaching the Dharma...and his insights during ups and downs in this journey of life is marvelous. Thank you for sharing ...this video truly help me as an individual to follow to choose my path thru Buddhists teaching..Thank you...
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
Nick, I want thank you for all of your videos, especially this one. I had just been through my first real heartbreak in the past month but your videos really got me through it. I had just sent my final message to my ex with all of the knowledge and advice that you have given me, and I feel like i'm in my final stages of moving on. I've forgiven and asked for forgiveness, let go of my resentment, and I found true compassion and happiness for her and her next relationship. I'm ready to love myself and to love in my next relationship. I got comfortable in all of the feelings I felt throughout it and I have true appreciation for the experience.
Thank you Nick for your story and for your assurance. Without you, it would've took me a lot longer and I would've suffered a lot more than I needed to. I'm more grateful than you could ever know.
Aww I’m glad it was helpful my friend. My heart goes out to you. Break ups are never easy. I’m glad you’ve been able to use a lens of wisdom to look at your situation. Keep up the great work 😊
I’m so sorry you went through that. You have helped me so much!! Age 17-37 I was physically and emotionally abused. Been on my own 20 years now and happy with Buddhism. Thank you ❤️
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 thank you so much
TQ for reading the letter! If you heard my story, You will feel, you are so blessed in many ways...
😊😊😊
I know you posted this several years ago Nick and that you are now on your new path as a monk, but I wanted to thank you for your honesty and bravery in talking so openly about this - it really helps.
Truth be told I am STILL working through the pain of my first marriage breaking up, after many miscarriages and the pain of not being able to have children - even though this was 14 years ago now and I am now happily remarried. I still find it difficult to confront some of my behaviour back then, which seems unrecognisable to me now. More recently I have gone through the traumatic loss of my wonderful mum, who I cared for for the last two years of her life. Sometimes I feel I will never fully heal..I do feel traumatised. But now, living in Spain I am trying to find my peace and way forward...live a simpler life. I have only just disvovered your videos. But I want you to know they help. And to thank you so much.
Wishing you well on the path you are on now, Nick. Kindest regards- Sue M
Thank you so much sue and sending you my blessings.
After the message I wrote to you yesterday on one of your videos I had watched, and my heart being broken, this comes up. I truly appreciate you sharing this with the world 4 years ago, and that it is still here today. I am balling my eyes out. Everything you are saying is 100% about grief. I am doing what I can to help myself . Thank you Ven. Nick 🙏
Thank you so much and I’m glad it’s helpful. Hang in there my friend 😊

I’m still trying to move on..I feel I’m shattered. I lost everything that I had, It’s my fault for not loving myself first. My heart still loving that person, it’s hard to forget them. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It's ok my friend. It takes time. Make sure to be kind to yourself during this time.
This is exactly what I am going through and I do need to hear this . Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Twin Flame love requires time to HEAL. Also lots of soul searching and self acceptance and self nurturing. A TWIN FLAME relationship leads you to the path of BUDDHA HOOD. My own experience was torture but, I woke up. You are here to helps millions of souls. 😇😇😇
Very cool. Where did you hear about this concept? I love it!

Thank you for this concept! I have now read about it. I am not sure how it is gonna help me and how (and if) I am gonna recover, but it is good to now that I am not the only one who experiences this.
@@EMI42 How are you now? How is your recovery going?
Thankyou!! You let me feel like my feelings don’t need covered up, this means a lot to me that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Thankyou so much
Possession says I want you to make me happy, love says I want you to be happy.. 🙏🏽
Thank you Nick. I had very similar experience which led me to my divorce. I suffered and that made me into who I am. It made me courageous enough to hear my inner voice and follow it. Funny enough, I was free to accomplish my dream and go to Thailand to volunteer as an English teacher and meditate at the temple in Nong Khai for 10 days. I feel you are so different from me but I understand many things you talk about and I can sign under many words you say. I admire your videos where you share your life as a monk. Keep following your heart and inspiring others for the same path. I am grateful to you for all you do.
Awww thank you for your kind words Anastasiia. I appreciate the support :) i will definitely continue to share more.
Santacitto I believe menas 'Shanta Chitta' in Sanskrit - One who is peaceful at heart :) Beautiful name!!! May you always have the treasure of Shanta+buddha heart.

I am currently where you were and have been meditating a lot I am still suffering but I am working on my inner self ….I am hopeful for the future Nick so with the right guidance from a Buddhist centre and from your videos hopefully the wisdom will allow me too transform too … many thanks Nick
This has provided me with a sense of relief in a rough patch of grieving the loss of a 14 yr relationship that started when I was just 18. Ill be focusing more intently on looking deeply and neutrally at this pain because I think I've been suppressing it. Thank you for another heart-felt video and sharing your thoughts and feelings at a time when you were vulnerable.
Dearest Nick, thank you for your truth, beauty, honesty, rawness, and courage. Thank you. I am praying for all of us.❤️🙏🌹
Nick, you felt it again when you read the letter, your face expression tells that. When you genuinely loves someone, it will broke your heart deeply, a persons like you never play a relationship. Anyhow life need to goes on, feel the feeling and let go. Thanks for your advice to those need it. 😊
Thank you joyce. I can't ever hide my emotions. hahaha.
Nick Keomahavong Because you are true to yourself, so your emotion is shown. Hope you will meet your true lover soon Nick, you deserve it. 😊
Agreed!
Nick Keomahavong Hi Nick would like to share some video with you, is humantarian mission video, you interested ?
ruclips.net/video/pfErn2hKgeg/видео.html
joyce ng phik ying hi Joyce. It's a great mission but I don't think it's for me. I'm definitely going down a different direction.
its kind people like you makes this world a better place. god bless you nick
Gosh... Just listening to that letter you're so mature and passionate and wise.... You're a beautiful soul Nick 😊
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much Bridget 🙂🙂🙂It was definitely challenging but it was a good learning lesson.
Hello Nick,
Thank you for such a beautiful video. I’m 27 and I’m currently going through the hardest time of my life. I recently broke up with my partner of 2.5 years and I no longer see a meaning in my life.
I grew up believing that first love is the only love and I used up all my love for them. I can’t love anyone else. I can’t look at anyone else.
Would it be possible for you to make a new video concerning break-ups?
I would appreciate it a lot.
Thank you,
Eli
Sadhu Sadhu Eli. My heart goes out to you my friend. It's ok. It takes time to gather all the pieces together but you will make it through it. This is a difficult period, but can actually be an opportunity for growth also. Sending you my blessings from Thailand 😊😊 hang in there and take care of yourself.
💯 thanks for sharing…. I guess I’m still healing ❤️🩹 it’s been years and really I don’t even see me dating in the years to come either. I guess that’s why I love your Buddhist videos. Being alone for me is safe
sadhu sadhu. 🙂🙂🙂 hang in there Elainna
Hey, Nick!
Thanks for posting this video.
The letter you wrote moved me to tears.
I have been lost and lonely for most of my adult life. Im 50 years old, and have been struggling with anxiety and depression issues since I was about 25.
I have my whole adult life longed for someone that loves me, and for the first time, at the age of 48, I met a girl who fell in love with me, but for some reason I didnt feel the same. I loved her as a person, but not as an romantic partner.
What happened was that over time, from my perspective, the relationship became more like a great friendship, but she wanted something else. I felt I was trapped, and lacking relationship skills, I just went with it even though I felt it wasn't healthy. I became depressed, and slowly, even though she loved me, she became more distant (very subtle signs) and eventually went into a new relationship (monkey branching/rebound) with another man.
In february she dumped me, and I was in total shock. I went into a panic mode that lastet 3-4 months, and eventually ended up in the hospital because of chestpain and panic attack.
After months of desperate texting and calling, resulting in nothing but she basically giving me the cold shoulder, I wrote her a letter where I tried to explained what had happened from my point of view.
I blamed the depression for why I couldn't meet her needs, which was partly true, but there was also a strong element of codependency that led to the break up.
The letter you wrote to your ex-girlfriend resonated so much about how I feel today. I don't need closure, but I need to heal. I realized much to late that I did love her deeply, and the pain (and loneliness) the last months has made me often think about ending my life, but Im aware today that its just the depression talking, not me.
I feel likke writing a new/last letter to my ex, but where the motive is genuin self healing. If I feel its necessary to heal, I will do it.
Your letter was as if I had written it myself, and for some reason I felt a sense of relief reading it.
Thank you
Love from Norway
I’m sorry to hear about your situation my friend but I’m glad the letter resonated with you. Take some time to heal 😊
Dear Nick, I am now 49. And to me this has been a lesson that I had to learn years ago. Thank you for your honesty and for being so heart-felt at your decisions. You did great. And so you will for other too. :-)
I've had got hurted many times from the persons that I love the most. I was lost and many time I forgive that person. And allow him to come back to my life again cause of my child. I know noone is perfect and I believe in forgiveness and chances. But I didn't give myself a chance to heals from all the pains he given me. But I know in times will heals. Thank you for inspiration and wisdoms
This helped me tremendously from what I’m going through present day. Thank you Ven. Nick
Thank you Ben! I’m glad our helpful 😊
Thank you for this video. I’ve been on the path of healing of a broken heart from a friend. I opened my heart to her and welcomed her like one of our family members. Now, I’ve been pushed to the side as she found a new friend she called family. There were mental and emotional manipulations. My emotions were up and down the last year and a half. I wanted to say all the things I was feeling and thinking. She said I was thinking too much and that I have to love myself. I was the only one thinking about it and no one else - she said. I decided to walk away and cut ties in June. My heart and emotions are on its way to healing. Along came new perspective and realizations about my relationships (in general), who I am and what I want for the remainders of years on this planet. I hope to visit you when I come to Thailand. Thank you Nick.
Hang in there my friend...
@@nickkeomahavong01 ♥
God is love and every human being on this earth is love. People need to realize it and the basic human need is love. Good letter by the way sounds like you made peace with the situation. I tried to disconnect cords and energy from a guy from highschool and I didn't even date him but someone made up lies. And I finally had to write a letter to him telling him I didn't make up lies about me or him and I didn't want to see him.
😊😊
that letter is so powerful, thank you
I endured all the pain which caused by my father since childhood.
I loved him the most, because of that it’s hurting me the most too.
Now I am blamed by my father for going to Psychiatrist.
The worst feeling is when you get hurt by your loved one.
I am feeling lost and trying to become a better person.
Your video are helping me to move forward.
Thank you so much❤❤
Lots of love
From Switzerland 🇨🇭 ❤
One of the most important things you have said is that you have to know and love yourself before you can love another. How you are dealing with this loss is very mature. You are so encouraging to others. Thank you.
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 thank you so much Gretchen
Very wise. Your journey is very pure. Am having changes in my self have been practising medatation and in recovery whilst searching found your video about morning routines. Both of these videos help me wake up to my own journey. Health is everything. My own is having heart irregular beats i felt while meditating someone hold my heart there hand went through my physical body and i felt it hold it. Im taking time to honour myself. Take care thankyou for your progress and direction.
Sadhu sadhu 😀😀 thank you so much and welcome to the channel.
It’s a beautiful journey we are on. First I wrote journey “you” are on. But you let me realize that we are too on our own beautiful journey. Thank you for talking to us so honestly and openly with so much love and truth.
Thank you so much my friend. I'm glad to be able to share. I hope it can help others 🙂🙂
It’s so inspiring and wonderful to witness people following intuition like you.

True love is the love self indeed! Take the time to heal indeed! Nick, you’re a great human being!!
Thanks for sharing🙏🏽
My brother committed Suicide because of a broken heart - luckily survived and turned his life around and instead of giving all his love to one person he gave it to the whole world as a monk - 😊 although you struggled and took a long time to heal. “If it doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” I’m very happy for you and now you helped so many others 🙏🙏🙏 blessed your heart ❤️

I cried looking at this video because that is what happened to me few months ago. It is so painful......
You are an incredible human being.. Reallly touched by your story.

Wow I wish I had seen this earlier. Thanks for this too. All that u said is so true

It's a pleasure my friend. thank you so much. I hope it's helpful.
I think it takes love to know what love is,until than I believe ít's just projection.It takes courage to have come so far👏👏👏👏Thanks for sharing💚🇧🇷
Sadhu Sadhu 😊😊 thank you so much
Namaste 🙏
Nick I am from India , when recently I got deeply interested in bhudhism n started reading a lot about budha, yor RUclips channel came across and now I am hooked to it. Learned a lot from yor vlogs. And now watching this vlog my belief becomes more strong that whatever happens, happens for some good reason. Yor destiny was different. You are a completely changed human being now , so inspiring 🙏🙏
Aww thank you so much my friend. I'm glad you stumbled onto the channel. I hope it's helpful :)
I can totally relate. I was in a relationship that broke my heart forever. Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to heal properly, it’s been 10 years and I have moved on, but never really had a good teacher who would share wisdom with me and I only wish I saw this video back then. I can feel your pain here, at the other side of the world 💚 thank you for all the great work you’re doing. You are so wonderful, I cannot express how I’m in owe with you and your incredible channel, your emotional maturity, your self-reflective nature and with your ability to express all those deep issuers so clearly and eloquently. Especially after seeing all your other videos and how you’ve progressed and how inspiring you are. That’s why I know Buddhism is the best path and having such beautiful online community really really helps me and, I am sure, many more people. Peace and love to you and everyone who is sharing this human experience in this life on Earth 🙏 wishing you happiness forever😊
Wow thank you so much kazique. Your comment is very touching. It has not been an easy experience, but looking back, I'm glad it did. Thank you for coming across this channel. I'm glad the content resonates with you. Sending you blessing all the way from Thailand :)
@@nickkeomahavong01 Thank you so much 🙏😊
It has been 3 years since I broke up with my ex. To be honest, I still not fully get over it yet. Recently, I heard that my ex started to date someone new and it still breaks my heart and brings out my tears. Even though I still can’t move on after several years, I realize that the pain has gradually decreased over time. I first found this video about 2 years ago and so I keep coming back to this video every time I need some comfort. I don’t know how long it’s gonna take for me to be fully healed and finally move on with my life entirely, but I believe that one day it will come. It doesn’t matter that my ex has already moved on when I’m still here thinking about him. I know that I need some more time and that’s okay❤
I have always been one to say to others and to myself.. that I am thankful for every one and every thing that has happened to me because it has made me into who I am right now and I am still growing and changing.. was it difficult.. absolutely.. I was torn apart every time.. but it is a life long process of lessons and growth. I am grateful for all the hardships.. and for the ease of times. It is all balanced.
☺️☺️
I wish for channel to grow so that more people can see your videos. Love from 🇨🇦!
Dear Nick,
Wow, I love your authenticity and transparency! I am so glad I found your channel.
I went through a heartbreak and it was very painful for two years. And now the lessons I learned are priceless. I finally know who I really am and what my purpose in life is. I humbly thank You for sharing your insights and gifts. Please keep sharing!
Thank you so much. It's a pleasure to share :-) and welcome to the channel
Thank you Ven.Nick for sharing your 💔 story😢🙏
You’re welcome ☺️
Nick you don’t know how many time I watch this video to understand myself. And how to heal myself...it’s very hard to goes through my days everyday seem to get better but then I get though of that pain and it put me through it once again. Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Aww. I'm glad this is helpful. I remember when I was going through it, I was desperately searching on RUclips myself for healing. I needed answers. I needed reassurance. It took me years. I didn't understand why others healed so fast, but my heart seems to take longer than others. I thought something was wrong with me. Now I realize, when I love, I love fully. There's nothing wrong with that. It's a gift and a curse. I just need to manage my heart better. For your situation, just be kind to yourself. I completely understand and can totally relate. Allow your heart to break and it will heal stronger. Much stronger. We need kind and loving people like you in the world. Do not best yourself up. Celebrate yourself and slowly practice more self compassion. You got this! I'm cheering for you! 👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁

Hi Nick.. I found after a video that my sister send me in my email.. It was about jealousy and you as a monk now in Thailand.. I have see many videos of you.. I am sorry you had to pass all this suffering but I totally agree with you this lessons made you the human being you are now.. You are such a beautiful soul.. I can relate to this.. I break up 3 years ago and it took 1 year to heal and 1 to be alone avoiding relationships.. I came to such great insights and realizations that I had never been before.. Now I am healed and open to meet new people in my life.. It's so true first you love yourself and then the others.. And the most important thing is to heal first before entering a new relationship.. But can I ask you something? I understand that you have chosen a different path and you are happy.. But you still are young don't you have any desire for relationships or you are totally sure that this is now your path ? Sending universal love from Greece ❤️🇬🇷🙏
Thank you so much my friend. Currently I am pretty content with this lifestyle and do not have any cravings for relationships. I am taking this life day by day :-)
@@nickkeomahavong01 thank you for taking the time to reply me!! I understand you live in here and now and enjoy the moment!! Your videos has helped me see different perspectives of me. I would appreciate if you can upload a video regarding friendships and if it's ok to be alone with no friends. Currently I don't feel the need to call someone to go out and I go out by myself I feel more independent.. Also it's difficult to connect nowadays with people.. If they call they are more concerned to talk about their own issues than to ask you how are you doing..
I mean anything at the moment. you don't have to decide and give yourself a break.
this made me cry. i have been following your videos for setting up routines and meditation, but this showed up today, and boi oh boi, wish I had seen this sooner. better late than never though. still processing grief this 'girl who broke my heart' left me with. but i have had so much progress in my life in all other areas, i can't even begin to write. thank you Nick!
Good on you Nick! I shut down my heart many many years ago and have never opened it to anyone again. That’s why I keep going in and out of relationships. Not ideal but I just don’t know if I’ll ever have the strength or courage to let my walls down again.
You’re a good man.....
Luke McK thank you. I took time off and now have my walls down. is possible.
Thank you very much indeed for being my inspiration. I really love everything you share 💚💯👏❤️
Sadhu Sadhu Sharon. Thank you 😌😌
So far after watching this video it remind me how I was broke..I can feel the pain thats how i experienced..being cheated from the loved ones really messed up..although he is happy with her..I pray for both of them..but still love him cant forget
🙂🙂🙂
No words.... This message is one that I was meant to hear and touched me deeply. Thank You
HI Nick
These are the best words I have heard over a long time.I do follow many others related to self help but somehow this feels very real very raw nothing robotic.Thank you for sharing how you feel and also helping others out there with this.Your destiny has choosen you for bigger things and I wish you become the source of light for those in the dark.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
I cry, because I relate so much. Thank you dear blessed for your honesty.
sadhu sadhu. thank you so much 🙂🙂🙂
WOW!! I'm overwhelmed by the pain I am reading that so many have gone through & are going through today.
I am wondeting about the "whys" this has to happen to us? I am wondering if we as teachers of life, parents, are leaving something out in prepareing our charges for life? Was there something I missed as the student, child?
Or is this all just a progressing in life?
As a senior adult, I realize I have been suffering, too. Am I missing something, longing for something from my parent/child relationship?
Your suffering sounds very much like the same pain within me that wishes for the father that is unknown to me (He was killed during WW2).
I have learned along the way to be accepting. Compassion is a new level of my exploring.
Thank you Ven. Nice for your incredible sharing. Thank all your teacher for their sharing willingness to teach their wisdom, as well.
With each other's compassion we have hope!
Blessings to all of us who suffer.
Thank you so much my friend. I'm glad we can share in the humanity and The human experience :-) sending you good wishes from Thailand. Stay safe my friend.
Thank you for sharing your pain , it made you the amazing man you are today...be grateful... 🙏🏼

Nick, there are no words to explain how much I needed this video. Thank you so much for what you are doing. I don't know where my path will lead me after the hardest breakup in my life, but examples like yours help me to believe that there is a light in the tunnel.
Thank you.

Wow! That’s powerful! I see how adversities in my life have shaped me into a person that I’m more pleased with. This is the first pre-Monk vlog that I’ve seen of yours. I’m growing tremendously as learn to practice Buddhist ways. I’m thrilled that I discovered you. Thank you. I wish you abundant blessings.
Thank you so much Janice. Glad you can come along on the journey :)

Dear Nick, wow how truly painful I can only thank you for sharing this with the world as quite often in the eye of the storm hope is lost and life seems unbearable and filled with one suffering after another!
It really sounds like you met your twin flame ( one consciousness but in two physical forms) it is probably the most painful split that nature has manifested for us beings as it’s a deeply spiritual level of consciousness.
But as your life has taken a different path the split from your twin flame was an important process no doubt ! But life’s mysteries often don’t make sense to the limited capacity of our mind. You are a mega inspiration 🙏🏼thank you dear soul 🌈♥️
Thank you so much for your kind words Phoebe. I appreciate your support :-)
Wow!! What a gift for the world! Your honesty, sincerity, compassion for yourself, and all of us out here.
This has touched me deeply.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
