Are you Feeling Suicidal? | Buddhism In English 

"Though the whole world abadon you, you should never abandon your life". Very nice advice

No I am not suicidal and I don't have thoughts about suicide. I'm tired of fighting to stay alive from chronic diseases and illnesses. I just want to die in peace and with dignity when the time comes. I'm not afraid to die because I know that my spiritual being goes on to a much greater journey with the Creator of the Whole Universe. No one lives forever in the physical sense. The spiritual being moves forward to greater things.

I suffer from depression. I m a Muslim. But I feel like I will get rid of my depression watching ur videos... I don't know how to thank you .

1. Do not reply or Do not take action when you are angry. 2. Don't make promises to other people when you are too happy. 3. Never take decisions whenever you are sad. Namo Buddhaya 🙏

I am 65 , I have several major illnesses , I often contemplate suicide. I feel isolated and lonely. Hearing you talk like this helps me to get up and go outside to find a quiet place and think . Thank you for your thoughts on this subject.

"DONT abandon yourself. Love yourself and take yourself out of the darkness." You have a future.

I was totally depressed, but this great advice saved my life from me.

Greatest speech I hav e ever seen in my life 🙏🙏🙏....namo budhaya...

IT GETS BETTER! IT GETS BETTER! Please don't make a permanent decision based on a temporary problem. IT GETS BETTER.

We have to be very conscious on to whom we are being open. Some people may misuse our openness to make our lives way miserable. Being a part of a good circle to others will make a better circle around us, coz we always get what we give to this world 🤗

I am Hindu but I love what namah budha say it , my life is parts of religious to go through. Thanks namah budha.

There is a birth, there is a suffering. We have all gone through the life vehicle: Birth, Aging, Sickness and Death. We cried when being born. That’s a humble beginning of life! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Namo Buddhaya 💐💐💐

A very tough time I have been passed but sometime too much negetive thought storm into my mind..I can't handle ..I understand but I nothing to do...I just tried to fighting with myself .. therefore your video 's can saves very life those who suffer from depressional phase in their life.

Very true. Life is like a ocean from time to time we experience different things in our life. Sadness, happiness which are not permanent in our life.,that is the nature of life . The one who cannot understand this nature cannot live a peaceful life.

Somedays there are no complications, no stress...no apparent cause. Yet the tiredness, lack of enthusiasm and heaviness takes over.

Thank you very much for your wonderful words! I always believed in Buddhism, but since my life got so difficult and lonely, I sometimes forget, that there is a reason for all our tuff times and that its there to make us a better person! Lately all I wanted is to leave this world to end the pain. After listening to your words, I’m back on the right path to myself and the right thoughts! You save so many lives with your words! Thank you again 🙏🙏🙏

I Love You Self ❤️🙏 Thank you Reverend for this beautiful encouragement. I will practice this practices indeed. Do not take action when you're angry. Don't make promises to other people when you're happy and Never take decision when you are Sad. Namo Buddhaya.

One who is able to find anybody for trusting and asking for help will never have any suicidal thought.

In our odiya Bhagbat have a quote that describe our present life as " Juga ku juga yehimate Parmananda ye jagate." Meaning is our life is changed according to time.

Thank you Venerable for sharing your profound Dharma talk in English. I’m so grateful. Namo Amituofo 🙏🙏🙏

I've already survived enough abuse neglect and trauma.life hurts so much I was born into pure pain and sadness.i always hurting inside for my family and yes all the trauma 💔 😢 😞 😔 🙏 I'm trying to stay stronger more then ever.i'll never forget my mommy and daddy.i wish I could take back all the bad things I've done and said. I'm running out of breathe.

this video is making me realize I am doing injustice to my body that was given to me only once after the long cycle of samsara, and with the limited time I have to enjoy the youth of my body, I really want to stop smoking.

Learning to love oneself, no matter what you look like, and seeing things from a more positive point of view. Will help cure depression. You have to decide it though . As a precious human life , choose wisely .

Thank you so much💜 Sending everyone love,hugs and encouragement🥰

Choosing a person whom we can share our problems also important...some times we may not have that single person also ... 😔😌 Thankyou for your good words 🙏 this gives relief for some extent..

Ven. Bhante ji, Vandami ! Your thoughts in this video are very very important and useful in our daily life to save the life of those people who takes a decision to sucide their life in a sad moment. At last in a summary, your three suggestions are very commendable and useful- 1. Don't speak or be silent when we are in an angry moment. 2. Don't give any promise/assurance, when we are in a very happiness-moment. 3. Don't take any decision when we are in a sad moment/condition. Salute to you !

Thankyou so very much for the great advice 💜

I like your videos because you are teaching life lessons. Thank you so much for wonderful advices

Vandami Bhante ji, It is very useful in our daily life of Ddhama -Deshna of our great teacher Buddha.

Respected Bhande I am getting happier day by day !

Thank you for your helpful advice!

So profound. Thank you for this wisdom.

Namo Buddhaya! I am having serious suicidal thoughts and I think this video helped me. Thank you so much dear great monk🙏 Hope I will feel better in the future!

Thankyou so much may the Lord bless you.

I don't have someone that I trust- what then? Hotlines and counselors will just call the police if I'm honest.

Thanks for caring enough to talk about this subject.

Suicidal feeling is a situation what becomes what we feel.It’s a feeling .. beyond our control. Thank you for the advice.I’m ok x

Don't answer when angry Don't make promises to others when you are happy Don't make decisions when you are sad. I accept these 3 advices. And unfortunately, there is no one who is trustworthy to listen to these things openly. If the people of the world are ready to listen to the other person, there will be no suicidal thoughts. Love yourself. Be compassionate. Take care of yourself.

I watch this video multiple times a week now just to get by. Sometimes the coming good days are/feel years away.

Can you make video on how to stop overthinking

As suicide is usually about escaping great pain as opposed to dying, the impermanence of pain is a good discussion. Not making decisions when in such pain is another one and talking to helpers in the field of this pain is another solution to speak of.

I do know Sunny Days don't make me comfortable anymore. They make me feel suicidal and worsen my symptoms of C-PTSD. This video is very helpful. Thank you.

Sir you are our mentor.

what a great speech 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

The first thing is my cats. I had snuck my brother's Glock 21 from his room (it was his service pistol from his few years as a police officer), and I was just sitting there, around midnight, contemplating it, swinging back and forth over going through with it. At some point, that same cat had hopped into the bed and stepped into my lap. I could only barely see him in the darkness (I did not have any lights on), but when I noticed him there, I broke down. I simply set the pistol down and just held him - and surprisingly, he did not struggle, as he normally does not like being held. I just sat there holding him and crying for about ten minutes, but I had felt much better after doing that. He was not the only cat who helped me - he was just the one who helped me the most. ❤The other thing that helped me - and this is going to sound rather strange - was stand-up comedy. However, it wasn't just any stand-up comedy, but it was certain comedians who gave me cause to reevaluate what I was thinking and feeling. Comedians like Lewis Black and George Carlin taught me that it was okay to feel like I did, but that did not mean that I had to take any BS lying down. Yeah, they actually taught me, through their performances (I said it would sound strange), what to identify as, as Carlin had described it, "stupid bullsh^t." And then, while comedians like them taught me how to better think, it was comedians like Christopher Titus that taught me what to do, or that I should at least do SOMETHING (his own suicide stories got me). I first saw Titus through his TV show, which lead me to his specials. I actually was able to verify a couple of his stories for myself, and it caused a moment of clarity for me. It made me think (and pardon the language - this was my thoughts then), "This guy went through SOOO much worse than me...and look at what he managed to do with it. Why am I letting this sh^t that I am going through bring me down? F^^^ that, I will not let this stupid bullsh^t beat me!" -@DavidRichardson Each day here on earth feels like I'm serving time. -@oaklandsoldier My friend told me there is this Arabic saying that says: ‘do you want to die? Then jump in the ocean and you will see yourself fighting for life. That is because you don't want to kill yourself, but you want to kill what’s killing you.’ That hit deep. -@kawaiaesa I had a son who was suicidal. I tried everything for him but His depression was unrelenting. Finally one day I just explained to him that I was not strong enough to live after his suicide. So I begged him to please coming kill me first and make it a murder suicide. The idea of this shocked him. I would never want to hurt you mom he said sincerely. But if you kill yourself you are hurting me I tried to explain. In the end I just kept asking him for the promise that he would come kill me first so I didn't have to go through Losing him. He thought about it for a long time and at that moment deciding he could not kill me... He took suicide off the table of options to deal with his depression. He is still alive. I tell this story only in the hope that it may help some other mother prevent her son from committing suicide. -@nickisnyder

What if life is very difficult every day with serious medical/health issues for the last seven years and there isn't an end in sight?
