How to meditate in noisy environments... | Buddhism In English 

Life is Simple but our own mind makes it difficult.

These teachings have brought peace in my life, I have became kind, forgiving and ready to face tough situations.!

"You start to fight with that noise"- so true. I never looked at it like that until now 😊🙏

I am buddhist from nepal really i am become crazy abt your lines once a day i have to heard your voice namo budhaya 🙏🙏🙏🙏🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵

My mind just becomes calm where I listen to you.

The teaching on dealing with the persistent noise was excellent. Without realizing it, I applied it to a situation with a person who was in my personal space, yelling, cursing, pointing, and threatening me. The person was a police officer. I will spare you the details, but I applied that teaching and, after awhile, it was as though what he was saying was passing right through me. When he saw that he could not provoke me to respond or engage (that's what he wanted😉), he gave up and walked away. His supervisors were contacted by my supervisor and the officer was reprimanded and ordered to never visit our organization again, and he didn't for the remainder of the time that I worked there. The power of practice!🙏

Please start podcast.. your voice is so calming and peaceful 😊 namo buddhay

Thank you all for taking the time and energy to make these videos. I fel the same principles you teach could also be applied to gain restful sleep. For many years I was an insomniac and apart from overthinking, noise would also distract me from settling down. I tried every strategy known to man and I even went to my doctor and nothing helped until one day, I decided to give myself a good talking to and I literally told myself to stop being so stupid and just fall sleep and from that day on as soon as my head touches my pillow, I'm away and people who have witnessed me do this have found this incredulous. I currently live near a busy and noisy town centre and so far nothing has disturbed my peace, whereas noise levels and sleep depravation are common complaints amongst my neighbours. In addition to this, I never use an alarm clock and just prior to falling asleep I set my own internal clock which could be at some random time such as 03:37 and I will wake up at exactly the time I set. I am in no way suggesting that others use negative self-talk in such instances and instead I needed to be strict with myself because trying to survive on one or two hours sleep most definitely was proving unhealthy for me, whereas nowerdays, I wake up in peace and gratitude. Namaste.

Thank you for this practical tool! Recently I was trying to meditate and it felt really hard with a dog barking all day and I couldn't concentrate until I do it after a while. I will implement it in my daily meditation!!! Love and light to you brother monk! Thank you for the insight, wisdom and compassionate heart ♥️😊 Namo Buddhaya 🙏🙏

I use these ideas to help me : as said in video, to become aware of the sound and then let it fade away as a normal thing, don't take the sound and attach a harmonic meaning to it (don't hear a cutting or hammering sound and develop cutting or hammering meaning in mind), don't fight it and have anger toward it, keep attention within limits and boundaries that are relevant and quiet, when hearing a repeating sound pattern like hammering - recognize the whole sound pattern as a single thing instead of many things.

Look how wise and peaceful he sounds!

I always feeled relaxed after I saw you & listen to you ❤😌🙏Thank you so much Dear Bhanteji Namo Buddhay 😊❤😌🙏

You are an angel 🙏🏻

Theruwan Saranai hamuduruwoni. gal boralu atharin watina kenek oba wahanse.

Ooh what a monk. Very lovable voice. Thank you so much hamuduruwane 💖💖

Thank yousir for your helpful teaching

this is valuable as my ears have become sensitive and I also have other mental issues. When a disturbing sound happens, I try to recognize it is sound, and separate from my inner self, and direct my attention and mindfulness to what I am doing, and to my near space. Sometimes the attention is drawn toward the disturbing sound, and I have to have some buffer energy or space between my inner self and the sound itself. And I recognize that the disturbance doesnt have to have meaning in me. With some familiarity of the sound it becomes easier. But when my head doesnt have enough energy, is tired or stressed, it is more difficult.

A great, practical lesson for meditators.Thank you Bhante.🧘🙏.

Thank you Shraddha for your help and time

For short noises, the advice is to:- -Be aware the noise distracted you -Don't chase after the thought of the noise -Gently bring your focus back to your meditation For long noises, the advice is to:- -Not fight the noise (resisting it makes it worse) -Listen to the noise for a short while (it becomes less distracting) -Once it becomes normal, gently bring your focus back to your meditation

Biggest nose we hear in the morning and evening is pirith delivery from many loudspeaker from every direction. We can't even study. No any creative thought comes in to mind because of that. Dear reverend sir Please be kind enough to stop this unhealthy noise pollution & let us enjoy the silence of nature we will be grateful to you. Thanks

AMEN

I listen your every video & i like it.... really

thanks 🙏🙏🙏

I'm currently on a barge that lays pipes offshore. And I always hear noises and the barge is racking constantly. I got distracted sometimes, but I still managed to do my meditation. I use ear plugs sometimes 😅.

Covid 19 left me disabled and I want to meditate but can't sit on the floor or cross my legs, any technique for meditation while sitting?

Ayubowewa.... Namo Buddhaya.... With all do respect I would like to add few more thing to Our practice of mindfulness guidance & proper directions Banthe....just ask the meditator to "let go of that noise" the "two types of Noise's" like you said Dear Thero.... the "Noises that you may like" & the Noises you "Dislike or don't Like or enjoy much" that's a nother better way to put it cross to the meditator isn't it Thero ....and above all "to make a compassionate thought within Oneself mind" " (to let go and to let it go)" of those two types of noises and to "keep once focus" on the "choice of your preferable sound" that gives You "Joy to you'r Mind Heart & Soul" to keep enjoying and your concentration of your mindfulness and it will make you "come back to you"r focus of You'r Concentration very Peacefully".... LOVE You immensely "Our Most Venerable * Sweet Handsome* Thero" Namo Buddhaya....👍😘💞☸️👌✌👊🙏🙏🙏🙏
