    Thank you dear Monastics, so many insights and reminders for me, I feel a little more open knowing when reminded that am because of conditions before and around me, that we are all trying our best and MF can support 'free choice', disrupting patterns/habits if we truely can look deeper.

    Letting go of sexual craving is hard in America. Weve been brainwashed and fed consumeristic and captialistic expressions of sexual permiscuity since as long as we can remember. It seems that my individual suffering is not as potent as the force out there in the world. I may be doing very well and nurturing my seeds of true love and then all it takes is me not having enough energy of mindfulness and something triggers a seed in my consciousnesses to arise.
    Its very hard transforming this because there arent many resources especially for young people to be able to communicate and relate to one another. There is a stigmatism which prevents us from having deep communication about such topics.
    But the biggest tools ive come across are the teachings of the buddha about the arrow in our heart. Which represents original fear and desire. And if we give our hearts space to heal and become open then we can start to slowly pull out that arrow that society and ourselves have allowed to become lodged.
    As soon as i get in contact with my heart. i feel the pain. So i give my heart the freedom and opportunity to express its pain in my mind. I can start to connect the dots between my mind and the trauma in my heart. As well as the actions in my daily life.
    The more aware i become of my suffering in my heart the more i see what is watering the seeds of that suffering and what kind of thinking speaking and acting helps to facilitate healing in my heart.
    Because we have had so much happen to us as children and before we were born that we were at the mercy of others and its ok for us to feel that pain. Its our pain but its the worlds pain too. And that burden isnt ours alone to bare.
    Once we accept this pain we can allow mother earth to teach us how to let go and transform.
    I hope my words resonate with at least one person and maybe can help one another get the insights we are searching for to heal ourselves and the world.

    🙏
    Thank you dear sangha for being there.

      You're words resonate with me. Perhaps because I live in the USA; in California. It sounds as if you might have read more of the words of the Buddha than I have. So, rather that offer advice I will simply share some info that you might already have.
      This is the Plum Village channel Have you found the Deer Park Channel? That monastary is here in California and was also founded by Thay. I have noticed that sometimes the way a certain Sister or Brothers expresses a concept or practice is more accessible to me for whatever reason. So, I subscribe to both and watch my notifications. Plus I've got a long ways to go backwards in past postings. But, I'm in no hurry. I try to savor them so they sink deep, rather than like a flash flood that just runs over parched lands into a river away to the sea.

      @actthree7810 It's like winning the lottery if you stumble upon the path of the Buddha and the sangha (and learn, practice, and share the teachings)
      One of the most beautiful teachings I first encountered was the teaching on aimlessness. How refreshing it was to start practicing not rushing and focusing on one task at a time and being truly present for that task. With body and mind as one. One with the great mother earth. I'm not trying to hurry to get something done just to go hurry and get the next thing done.
      I would highly suggest going through the 40 tennets of plum village taught by brother phap Lu at deer park monastery.
      🙏 🤲

      Hello 😀
      What language are you writing in? I am member of a sangha that follows the Japanese Pureland tradition. There we say Namu Amida Butsu. It is near Deer Park Monastary, which Thay established in Southern California.
