Love from Ireland 🇮🇪 Thank you so much for your invaluable videos. They have helped me so much. Thank you!

In a row I suffered depression for 9 years and I still do but this video will help me a lot🪷 I’m a child and I’ll try to pray everyday to stop my depression and do the exercises u told me to do. 🙏🙏🙏

Summary: It is not suffering that makes us negative. It is the perspective that we hold onto suffering, that makes us negative. Hence, do not think about suffering as something negative. Practice Cittanupassana (Contemplation on the mind and the thoughts that mind creates). Do not judge or stop thoughts. When you experience depression or anxiety, be aware the type and quality of thoughts that comes to your mind. Ask “what an I thinking”? By Being mindful and being aware, helps to separate yourself from thought. You are not the thought. Notice the thoughts without analyzing, without stopping, without suppressing and fighting these thoughts. Instead, ask “ what am I thinking”. You are not depressed. Your thoughts are depressed thoughts. Don’t run away from pain. Pain is part of growth. “Where there is birth, there is suffering” - Buddha. That is the reality. Practice, contemplating mind through meditation. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🏼🧡

The way you talk is so magic. I can feel calm and to focus on what you are saying,also agreeing about everything. Thank you so much,you're a gift to people who are struggling with so many problems

🙏🏻I'm catholic.Also I'm having medicine for depression.But going to temple & offering flowers and lit lamps makes me calm as much as I pray to my God. I love to hear these words, The Buddha teaches...It really helps me to make myself calm.🙏🏻Thank you very much.

“You are not your thoughts”so deep yet so powerful!

You are one of the best teacher .Namo Budhaay🕉️

This is the most anticipated video i wanted it the most

Even though I am getting positive and doing things. But still, these thoughts come into my mind. I am a little getting aware of my thoughts. But sometimes these thoughts get a little more stressful, but then too I am getting fine and trying once again to be positive. So my experience is making me understand that I am making tiny tiny improvements within myself. Even though I cannot become wholly perfect but trying my best to be the best version of myself. Namo Buddhaya. May everyone be happy, in peace and make success in their life. 😀😀💯

This is the best video for depression. Thank u so much.. Happy to see a smiling face with powerful messages🔥 what an amazing monk!

Where there is birth there is suffering❤️🙏ඉපදීමක් සිදු වන්නේ කොතනද එතැනින් දුකක් හට ගනී.🙏🙏

Birthplace of Buddha , Lumbini is my hometown. I should be more involved in Buddha’s teachings unfortunately I am just starting to get in to it. Thanks for all RU-vid videos.

Thank you for making this video. This really helped me. I have been looking for so many months to get rid out of depression. So let's us respect this Buddhist channel. Namo Budhaya 🙏😊

I have known this fact for many years BUT it is so easy to forget - so to practice this - again - I shall do. I am in such a state of life that this message comes in handy. Thanks!

What i love about this, and i feel like all of buddhism is like this, its not teaching me how to pray or devote my life any allmighty power. It is simply teaching how to live life in a peaceful way. I am not religious, but i really like the mindset of buddhism. In my 3 years of therapy there is one sentence i always tell myself when those depressive thought come: "I am not my thoughts". The moment you said it in your video had me had goosebumps. Thank you for your kind words, i am sure this helps so many people.

My thoughts and my thinking were killing me, most wernt true. When I became aware of of this I changed the way I looked @ this mindset, still a work in process. 🙏👍❤

Love from India ❤️❤️

"Your thoughts are not you" idk how many times I repeat that in my head everyday.these intrusive thoughts drain my energy which I should be using for my studies and other meaningful stuff in my life. For anyone fighting to find a piece of peace in your life I wish you the best! Never give up!! Please don't let those dark thoughts to get you. They can be disgusting but remember they are nothing about you. Sometimes all you have to do is just doing nothing. Don't react with them. You are not the only one struggling and don't be afraid to ask for help your loved ones are always ready to listen to you.. the happy life you are waiting to have will soon be yours keep being that good human you are.. Really really grateful for this channel for spreading the beautiful advices from Lord Buddha 🙏

I'm 15 and my hairline has receded very largely. I'm very depressed by thinking that I'll go bald💔💔 never thought, I'll suffer through this problem. I think I'll lose full hair in 1 or 2 years. People saying to not treat now as I'm a teenager and the treatment has many side effects. Going to study in 11th grade this year and thinking, how to deal with the situation in school. Hope God will help me🙏🪔💔💔

🙏🙏🙏 one of the greatest advice heard to overcome dipression

Hey,I have done lots of mistakes in life,I kept doing one after the other,there was a situation where I started hating myself to core, I got messed up in relationships, ppl lost trust in me,I completely got depressed,only people that trusted me are my parents , but there is always a positive side of it ,suffering made me a better person,becoz of those hard times, I realised how to accept my mistakes,how to forgive myself,how to focus on things which are more important ,no one is bad ,we all do mistakes becoz we can’t control temptation at that movement or out of unconscious mind without knowing the consequences of our actions, so let’s become conscious and get better in our thoughts and actions,all the best ,thank u

Thank you for sharing and for your own discipline

Im not my thoughts.really its hard to realize it.thank you for your wisdom.im really in toughest tym in my life.your teaching has restored.❤
