I remember how I was manipulated by someone. Thanks for making this video. I now realise that we can't change others but control how we respond instead of reacting to these kinds of people.
Fantastic video, I personally love it and save it to continue watch in over and over, since I’m very Empathic person I really need this in my life, thank you 🌸💯🙏🏼
I posted on another site based on my own painful and redemptive personal experience with narcissistic abuse, and I advocated for the view of compassion towards the narcissist from a Christian standpoint, which spiritually is very similar to the spiritual principles of Buddhist teaching outlined in this video. A welcome change from 'make the narcissist suffer' videos, of which I do not approve, or let's say rather is manifesting at a much lower level of spiritual healing than is realized at the higher stages of spiritual realization.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'm glad that you could relate with the message here. The most significant message here is that "instead of changing others, we can focus on getting free from our sufferings while making a balance". I hope you will find more relatable videos on this channel. :)
@@TheSchoolofBuddha It comes down to personal experience. Maybe you suffer and first you want karmic retribution against your tormentor, but if the suffering truly elevates you to let's say a Christian saint or a boddhisattva, your view transforms and you feel pity for the tormentor, who are so far from the right view of things, and you may wish to become their light, their teacher, and advance them toward a right view of things, having no wish to exact retribution, but a deep desire to lead them to their highest good, because unconditional love towards all has now become your guiding principle, for you having been redeemed by the unconditional love of others, can no longer see yourself as a righteous judge exacting karmic retribution upon others, but you become suffused with such love that you wish to share it with all who are capable of receiving it. If they will not accept it that is their karma, but you wish to offer it out of love towards all things.
While I don't deny what you are saying, Buddhists also say that you have to take your own step, and control what's controllable. How would you move ahead otherwise?
@@TheSchoolofBuddha The person I'm talking about is a fully ordained monk, a Khenpo of the Nyingma tradition. Sure, he may well have all these titles but "not a true monk" ...
You forgot the most worthwhile advice as to narcissists : FLEE IMMEDIATELY and do not come back if at all possible . Eventually you will have to flee . So plan , short range or long range but don't wait too long. Melania Trump is a case in point.
Thank you for this comment. I agree with what you said. Please check my next video which is based on the same issue: "when and how to completely detach from a narcissist". I hope you would like it too.
I second with you, but it shouldn't be the case that one keeps getting the abuse to protect others. The healthy boundary must be maintained for your own mental well being.
