“Expectation stands for suffering”. This is so true. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

It is a fact that nothing is fair in life . I know that life is full of suffering. I do not expect anything from life. I do what is need to be done . Be kind, be truthful , be helpful to people. Yes I am going thru struggles right now but I accept it wholeheartedly . Just keep going till your wheel of life stops. I try my best not to react on a negative situation . Walk away from toxic people. Thank you for the Buddha’s teaching . I learnt so much and is still learning . I don’t really think much about what people say about me . I focuse on myself and my well-being. Every day I always thankful for the gift of life. I am very grateful for the blessings and graces that come my way.I terribly adore and love Buddha’s teaching . And I applied it in life . Believe me I am so at peace with myself . Thank you . Thank you. Thank you. I listen to you everyday. 🙏🙏🙏

Buddha said, If problem can be solved why worry and if problem can't be solved by us then also why worry so We shouldn't be worried either problem can be solved or not.

I am suffering a lot because of situations that are out of my control and also in my control. Thank you for this advice and may all the ppl get a peaceful life❤

His kindness shines trough so much and his smile and dimples are just adorable.

The college i want to study but i am not selected in that college my all friends selected but i don't . My friend who got lower than me they also selected . For some mistake I did not selected. And that regrets destroy my mental health. When i feel better than some people come and say why don't you selected ?? . And their face like insulting .. I always try to explain myself that its ohk . God has better plan for you but than some idiots come to demotivate me🙂.

This appears in right time when i am needing the most 🙏 thank you so much

After listening to your words ,I felt stress-free, peaceful and Happy with what I have.😇 Whatever flows ...flows..... If we can't change the situation then We have to change our perspective ✌️💪 It gives me hope to run my life.

I really needed this. I am going through a situation as you described,. It is out of my control so i will follow your advice and won't try to change the people instead I will control myself n my emotions. I wish someday I will understand life.

What beautiful thoughts..!! The tenderness of your words.. your voice is so powerful, Master 🙏😊 God Bless you...Namo Budhdhay 🙏😊

This is so true. No matter how many good things you do life is not always fair. Its hard but we have to move on .

Three things to do when facing tough situations 1. Realize what the situation is - analyze and understand the problem. 2. Determine whether the situation is in your control or out of your control. 3. Change the situation if it is in your control or change your perspective if it is out of your control.

I am a Christian that listens to your program and enjoy it very much. Thank you!

By listening to you i am at peace...Namo Buddhaya

I am a Catholic but I listen to this.... it gives me new perspective. And what he is saying is actually true. You can never go wrong with listening to words of wisdom and do implement it into your life. Expect to Fail but rise up again. In this way, we all learn from our mistakes but gain more wisdom along the way.

Namo Buddhaya. You are God's gift to me. Your preachings have turned my life completely, I just can't explain how much valuable your videos are to me. Very simple explanation.

I love Buddhism it has helped me through so much!! Thank u so much for your teachings !

Sir ur teachings hv changed my life to a great extent n helping me everyday to lead a peaceful life. Thank u so much. Namo budhdhaya🙏

Expectations lead to disappointment which leads to suffering.. just let go trust the journey 🙏🙏 blessings 💖💖💖

Well said! Its completely true in my life... Expectations definitely kill as a person.Its also said that expectation leads to greater disappoinent ✨ Let's feel surprised when unexpected things get happened💙✨

just what i needed right now...thank you so much...now i am feeling better after watching this Happiness is inversely propertional to expectations.. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🏻😊

We cannot change situations but we can change our perspective by following positive ideas,positive things is correct.always unexpected things happen so expect less bcoz expectation is suffering .this statement is TRUE. That is why we feel things are not working in our way.

Namo budhhay....the most essential teachings I got from this ...if things are not going in your way jst change your perspective this seems so simple but it got so much deep to understand and I my case I m suffering with my studies and it's doable situation I can do about this...I analyse where I m lacking and also realised that each day shouldn't be same always so don't expect too much to be every coming I can feel that energetic...so accept that and find what can uh do about that situation

First of all I would like to say that I was so happy to see a video put up here after quite a while. Today's video has come at a time when I how been facing such circumstances for quite a while. "If we cannot change a situation we should change our perspective towards it". This sentence speaks volumes and is the best advice to all who are in this situation. It makes me realise that all this while I've been trying to change things which are not in my control. Now I realise that it's better for my peace of mind to let things be as they are and not to let them affect me. Hope to see more such videos.

Millions of thanks for such wonderful service. If possible, Please make us a video regarding 'how to inculcate positive thoughts and ideas in our mind' because mind gets easily indulge in past trauma, criticism, sufferings than living in present moment. Thanks a lot 🙏

Upto now this is the calmest Buddha master 🙏 God bless you ❤️ Very happy and peaceful to hear him 😁

Thank you🌺 You give us joy🍀 There is lot of truth in it. Now the practise must come to the fore 😊😊😁

* Change the situation if it is in your control or change your perspective if it is out of your control* .....literally this line...changed my mindset....and now i feel i can deal better with anxiety issues having most of times becoz of my whole class (classmates).....I'M GLAD THAT IM CONNECTED WITH CHANNEL

I’m 23 and don’t know where my life is going. This video helped change my perspective on things. Amazing video

It is true, I once in my live experienced exactly what you describe. This was the Golf war. We in Germany almost all were depressed, because we grew up with our recent fascist history and we were suffering a war was there again. I lived in Hanover, went to school, had to Referate, usually shy, I did not care. I had been sitting crying, talked in front of the class, sat down and went on crying. A male teacher who taught type writing for a colleague, broke down crying over the type writer. Finally in another class the teacher said, o.k. You can all go outside and join the protest. Walling within the large groups brought some relief as long as we were there. At home my friend and I continued what we did those days! We talked about it, watched TV about it, for the first time in our young life, we could not sleep, for the first time we bought wine, drank it before going to bed, in a way we never did before, to become in a mood where we just knocked out, which was for us both together a half bottle of wine. We woke up again, because that is no real sleep. In the morning we stood up very early to sit in front of the TV, suffering and listening to the horrors that happened. After some weeks I said to my friend, you know what, we will ignore what is happening because we cannot change anything. What if we turn out the TV and read books, go for a walk. We were living in a kind of nightmare, but we were not forced to. We were healthy and outside in our town there was peace. We had good people around us and friends. We changed our reaction to what happened. We slept at night again and felt better. I still think, if one could change bad things that happen, it would be our duty to do what we can. As there was really nothing we could do, it was what helped us. Thank you very much for your advice and kindness. Again a time we all suffer.

Am crazy about you,its helps me alot,am listening evening.

I really can't believe initially . The love and kindness which you are spreading is massive.🙏🙏🙏💐💐💐🕊️🕊️🕊️

Thanks a lot ...🙏🙏 Your thoughts are extremely appreciable...after listening your thoughts life feels very easy ..and also give me the right Perspective towads any kind of Situation and People as well .. I appreciate to u with.. pure ... heartedly

My life is so hard these days . But now I know what makes my life hard .It's my own expectations .

Namo buddhay. Respected sir how do I not expect from other person. And just be on my own and accept everything that is happening in my life

Thank u so much … heard this at the right moment 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Your words are so inspiring.. whenever I am in a tough situation your sayings inspire me a loooooooooooooot..Lord Buddha's preaching is really very good to hear in order to enable our thought process to be executed according to the situation. Thank Uuuuuuu soooooo much 😊

Thank you. Life owes you nothing so seek the greatness you encounter as is treasure 😊... Wonderful

Im at the lowest point in my life right now. I dont remember the last I prayed but a few nights ago I talked to him and said if he hated me THAT much, he can just take away my life right there and then. I asked him to not let me wake up in the morning. But instead, he didnt let me sleep at all. Got 0 sleep 😂

NAMO BUDDHAYA🙏💛🙏The way my dear thero explains is so much easy to understand those situations we face in day to day life. Sometimes we want to change some situations for good for people. But the Majoriy don't like it. That always makes us angry n sad . Sometimes we get furious,can't control anger,But ultimately ourselves we understand the angry towards the people is soo useless. Calm mind n kindheart always win the world. I always takes examples from Buddha's life story because my dear BUDDHA wins whole cruelty of people from the overloaded kindness . We cannot reach that kindness of my dear Buddha .Thats called Purisadammasarathi' quality to control people's attitudes through kindness. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Sir your positive words really help me a lot to change my perspective about the situations which are not under my control. Thank you so much 😌🙏

I am very proud about you Venerable Thera as a Sri Lankan Buddhist man. Sri Lanka has real teach of the buddha. But it is very difficult to explain by the English. It is very deep vision. Any how you are trying to give buddha vision by English. That is need to this world. නමෝ බුද්ධාය

Thank you so much to take the time to made the videos and teaching us. The videos are short and have so much wisdoms. We need this channel to continue teaching more Buddha Wisdoms. I love this channel so much and listing it every day. It made me feel peace. ❤❤❤❤Namo Buddha.🙏

Don’t know I usually don’t watch videos more than 2 mins. But this one I watched till end. Very true.

Dhamma is truth. So simple and logical. Thank you for sharing it with tenderness. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🏽

Thank you Venerable one, great piece of advice, common logic as Buddha sees it 🙏 Namo Buddhaya 🙏

Thank you for the wisdom. 🙏❤

I'm new subscriber. I love your teachings . It guides me. Thank you so much.

J Yaa this is absolutely right & me personally experienced it more expectations becoming a reason of depression , anxiety,

Thanks a lot for that wonderful explanation. Om Namo Buddhaya

This is so true, it was my thoughts/thinking that was the problem. As soon as I became aware of this I changed the way I looked at things and the things I looked at changed, expectations are a killer. Loved this thank you ❤❤

Started loving Budhism.... Namo Budhaaya🙏🙏🙏🙏

This is absolutely true. But to get to this certain level in life it needs more practice and balance. I'm doing my best daily. And, thanks to our monk for these sermons on how to live a meaningful life. Namoo Buddhaya 🙏😊🙏

His energy is so soothing

Thank you🙏 sir. For the video Please🙏 make video everyday your wisdom make our life easy.

if nothing goes your way then stop trying too hard and relax then it may start going your way either through that thing you wanted or through another door. If you want to come out of a difficult situation then you relax like the Chinese finger trap - the more you struggle to escape the harder it gets. You dont run away from your suffering but you remain with it quietly and listen, from that comes the flash of insight - in the last moment the tides can change. The ancient greeks called suffering as passion and passion is energy. There is great energy in it.

Anumodhana Bhante 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 From Indonesia , NAMO BUDDHAYA 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
