It's why almost the whole world has been colonized. I long for the natural life without a need for money. Blessings Brother thank you!

A quote I like... "We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free."

I'm cultivating gratefulness. I'm so lucky to have what I have. But I am most grateful to examine my mind. Thank you for this talk.

Here to leave an actual comment 😅 thank you for helping us on our journey, Lama 🙏💚

The spiritual path requires the heart of a warrior since we must cultivate legitimate forbearance and renunciation. At times, we may experience great exhaustion with worldy life and seeming endless stressors and pitfalls. Ideally, a warrior is a stalwart, never gives up, and always looks to the mission of protecting life. In this case, we are protecting our love/compassion and our connection to the Buddha Dharma. We must persist since the opportunity to practice and receive teachings from a qualified teacher is incredibly rare, even in an age of prolific information. I find it helpful to be grateful for this gift of life upon waking as well as when I can remember to think of my yidam/personal diety. When I'm able to accomplish this first thing in the morning, it sets the tone for the rest of the day. Thank you, Lama Choga! 🙏 🙏🙏

Thankyou Lama Choga🙏🙏🙏🌟

Thank you, I often find myself trapped in a world which seems not totally fit to my inner expectations. World changes but some aspects of it remain the same. People move but many feel trapped. So What to do? Maybe search for inner liberation, then acting to do better. To be helpful we need helpful advice and I thank you for that.

Thank you Lama Choga, very touching, I’m weeping! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I just said that to myself tonight...right before I searched this channel & found this video...”I wanna just stop the world & get off!” 😁 I love being in nature! Thank you! 🙏🏼 That was beautiful! My biggest question for now: “How would 1 be homeless & not taken to a police station or psych unit?” And thank you for the beautiful benediction. And the same for you. 🦋

I resonate with feeling alone in facing the humongous energy of a system and it's energy just going rampant.. while i try to maintain center and p(e)ace.

It's happening to me, I got really sick to see people and life in general. Greed, war, people try to screw each other. It's like life has no other meaning than making money, preferably a lot. That's why I'm turning to spirituality, trying to figure out what the heck life is all about, what I really am and what's my purpose in this life.

Thank you Lama. Your words saved my life. 😎🙏🏻✨

Yes. Thank you.

Thank you !

A great video on true freedom

Thank you! ❤

I think you would do a great narration of T.S. Eliots: "The Hollow Men".

The pursuit of happiness is folly, the concept of obtaining happiness is illusion. Happiness comes as quickly as it goes, that's the way of all things.

My latest attachments: studying the ancient greeks, Indians, egyptians. Platonics, Buddha, Egyptian mythologies and teachings. Philosophy, Liberation ontologies and theology. Even though we incur adversities apon ourselves due to desires, they too seem, to a degree, may also be preparring us to better and more efficiently to face and overcome the adversities. In a sense, the error or desire, incurrence of adversity, and liberation, all make up into one thing the very lesson, purpose and path. I very much like this channel.

So true! Taming my mind is like having a wrestling match with an alligator! 🐊 - Cynthia

Tired? Buddha said "“If anything is to be done, let one do it with sustained vigor.” What's the forbidden fruit? Knowledge of good and evil. What does that mean? You don't get to make the moral rules. - Jordan Peterson

The world seems like it's on fire right now, but perhaps it has always been that way. I truly am tired of trying to fight the battles of the world; and keeping up with the weighty facade of western "manhood". I simply want to live, but humanity and human nature is born for conflict, violence and death. I see the darkness within myself, and I do not want to yield to such darkness. I often think about becoming a monk or hermit. Yet then I wonder. If I did become such; would I just be running away from my problems? Not facing life's trials head on? A strange predicament indeed. Thank you for your beautiful wisdom and soothing voice. Peace and blessings.

See the world through your own holiness, and you will have helped us all.

🙏

I just woke up! No, I mean I missed the show because I was asleep!😴 Sorry about that. In a world run by corporations, consuming products and displaying expensive status symbols is the sign of success, yet not wanting to keep up with the Jetsons is considered a crime! Without signalling your status, you are saying you have none but the lowest status. That means you are not protected by the same laws that the middle classes take for granted. "What good could ever come from homless people," is the assumption, so it is open season on the ostrisised as it was back in the dark ages. But the Buddha’s teaching shows me that all that happens to me is actually my fault, one way or another, which saved me from righteous revenge, which would have been terrible for all involved. Embracing the path has saved me from harming many people, which is such a relief. To put down the burden of needing revenge is wonderful! They say the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, and permanent mindfulness certainly is vigilance! So we could say eternal mindfulness is the price of freedom! Thank you so much, for helping to show the way. You have my infinite gratitude, love and respect. ♾️🙏✌🏻🧡

Gaining awareness of this place while attempting to let go is a conundrum .

Nice Crocs

Doesn’t the world only exist in our experience? So if we stop experiencing, the world shuts off, does it not?

Why do we all have to suffer so much in this realm?

All i can have in this world is peace? Damn..

Lama, i have been wondering, is it true that we are all fundamentally alone and have no one but ourselves? Im 18 and recently lost all of my friends I have known for most of my life, girls that crushed on and imagined spending my life with just reject me. I am completely alone. But even if they didn't, and we all spent our lives happily together we would eventually be separated anyways. In our past lives we all had many friends and spouses that are now complete strangers to us. I am feeling that what is the point of it all, if people we love so dearly, that we cant live without and spend our lives with leave us and we inevitably get separated from them, they become just strangers. Even our spiritual friends, teachers, same thing will happen. It seems in this samsara we are all completely alone have no one except ourselves. i think i will leave home and become a hermit, since i don't have anything else to do anyways.

Are not these men you criticize also your brother's and sisters?

Why do you turn a mala whilst talking..are you also chanting a mantra or is it for show?

Chiron Last yt channel

Wow.

Interestingly, the most impoverished people's are the most greatful. Suicide is almost none existent. Everyone else, well, lots of complaining. Lots of free time to complain. Good times make weak men Again, how is gold purified? Fire, heat, pressure, friction. I want more pain. Pain is a teacher. Comfort.......hmmmm🫣
