I’ve been there, it sucks. I’ve found Ajahn Brahma very helpful, and also a channel called wu Wei wisdom. You might check them out, it’s like a combination of psychology and Taoist philosophy.. I hope you have a long life full of peace and joy.

hope u are doing well now. You got this and NEVER give up

Me too, his voice is calming.

You listen so you can practice what you learned. Have you been practicing or only listening?

There is nothing wrong with listening to a talk over and over. Ajahn Brahm is being facetious when he jokes about us coming back to listen to his talks.

A prey of compassion for all human beings.

Suggestion: “Freedom of the mind”

Vestlen Pali, an ancient Indian language.

buddha for give everyone you will be done.

The answer is usually in the question so I would say yes, you are. And in my experience, knowing that in full acceptance is when the depression ends.

No, you are doing something about it. If you are depressed, you are being kind to yourself and surrounding yourself with kindness. I do the same!

Seeking wisdom when we are lost is not equivalent to running away. As long as you use his words to reflect and develop your own understanding so that you can better engage with life, you are not running away.

FE 'theory' can be debunked in five minutes or less by a basic knowledge of astrophysics. Just ask. . . . Don't stay trapped in a 'prison of the mind' when you can know truth, and freedom. I've been in that prison, but thankfully it wasn't for long.

Don't blame Brahm for your ignorance. He's a Physicist. He'd tear your ass up with facts in 2 minutes. 😂😂

I am interested to know how meditation led you to flat earth theory.

@@SisypheanRoller Hey, Buddhism and meditation led me to flat earth, Brahmy confirmed his position, space boy. Im now a Christian and fully trust in the Lord Jesus Christ (God) for my salvation and justification. I was pulled from out the mystery religions. God bless your soul and may you find the Truth

Ajahn Brahm grew up in London.

One can think like this. Only that listening to him cheers you up, helps. I'm in live and wisdom believer, not any religion... But Bramawangsa is like honey. 😇😇😇😇😇

The topic is the nature of your mind, for some people it is a fault finding negative mindset with every single thought, time to look deep inside! For me it is beneficial to let go of judgement, ego delusion and learn from Ajahn Brahm and not from a person with 6 pack abs calling themselves monks for their physical appearance to attract audience. Who is disrespectful and lazy here lol? Ajahn Brahm is so hard working and full of compassion for others that is how he gains weight by sitting so long giving many talks and answering questions simply being selfless not selfish. You have the total freedom to select your teachers With Metta

You really think Brahm "disrespects" his body? Do you really believe Brahm is "lazy"? Let's say you're right. Then what?

If you had known the basis of Buddha teachings.....you would never have put this comment. body is just a vehicle to achieve the higher goal...peace. Middle path...one does not have to get obsessed with any thing to attract attention.....As long as the body is healthy, person is active....Looks don't matter..... There are stories all over the place on how people who are obsessed with fitness...Have all material wealth at their disposal....Despite much "respect" for their bodies...End up in depression and drug addiction.....sometimes end up their lives in confusion.......naturally......A fat monk with clear mind and path is far better than confused hunks and beauties with sexy bodies but bad lifestyles and aimless lives...

@@bhartisingh3466 I am stunned at the stupidity and assumption of the responses. so I will try again... God gave us two incredible gifts (among many others) Your mind and body. Both, we must use at the optimum. Sadhguru is a great example. The body is really more easier to maintain. You eat right and exercise. Some Monks , Priests, Sadhus. Imams don't do that. All I was saying HONOR GOD'S MOST PRECIOUS GIFT!!

@@realtyhaven True. Both must be used to their best abilities to achieve the goal. Theravada Buddhist monks eat just once a day that too mostly vegetarian or whatever they get in Bhiksha. Like Buddha said don't focus on things too much that drifts you away from goal. Eat just enough to keep body running, wear to just protect your body from undue climate stress, so prime goal in Buddhism is not to be too choosy and fussy about bodily needs. Between body and mind, mind will always have a dominating role. Even assumption like the fat on his body shows laziness on his part is also coming from a mind that is conditioned to think that way. Any act has three medium mind, body and speech. And everything in the world first occurs in mind first and than gets translated into action via body or speech. So controlling mind is prime in Buddha's view because that will fix any errs right in the mind without getting translated into bodily action. There are people who are fat but still at peace with what they are and there are people who are always depressed about their looks and body. So it is not the body that is causing happiness or sadness but mental attitude of a person. Perception is seeded in the mind not in body. That is what my point is. Fixing mind will fix rest but fixing body may not fix the root of the problem. Suggest you read this section to get an overview or watch this simple series on Buddha to give you a fair idea about his teachings.
