It's a wonderful to listen your speech because I'm suffering of fear in this moment. I like Thay idea to make the peace mind permanent. It's hard but keep practicing day by day the happiness will come, isn't it? Thank you su co
I don't want to sound disrespectful or so.....but I can't imagine that these nuns and monks have no desires or wishes in life. No boyfriend or no girlfriend to fell in love with? Not living in an own apartment or house? Not traveling around the world? Not owning things what you personally wish for yourself? Not being together with family and friends?.....of course these things don't bring us happiness at all but not following the path of your desires and wishes can also hurt yourself, since these things stayed unfullfilled too, isn't it so? I think every human has expectations in his own life. Everyone want to succeed something. You can't have no wishes and seperate yourself from society. And also nobody can say if there is a Nirvana or heaven/hell. There are no evidences for that. I was born in a muslim family but I am not a muslim or so, I am agnostic but I simply dont know bout the afterlife, and I can't say if we are dead after life or not. So what is when there is no life after death? Shouldn't we try to live a better life and fullfill these desires and expectations? I can imagine that shaving the head of a woman is a huge step, maybe hairs are more important to a woman than to a men. Did she never felt sad about it to cut her hair? Are hairs something superficial? Also being enligthened and feel happy on every single second is something I just can not imagine at all. It is hard to reach. I experienced happiness after doing 1 hour of Transcendental Meditation but this last just for 6-8 hours and then it is over. I also have another important Question: Do monks and nuns never masturbate since they live in celibacy? I am just curious about this topic, because I want to free my mind from porn, masturbation and orgasm but it seems so difficult for me. What are buddhist monks or nuns doing when they feel the urge of masturbation or orgasm? If you can answer my last question, this would be really awesome. Thank you
indeed as Alex Prieto says. They simply train their minds how to be still. rested. calm. satisfied. love. loved. In order to see that these desires, and all other emotions, are fleeting moments. These desires pass again, we do not need to hold onto them to feel satisfaction or love; we eventually won't feel the actual satisfaction. Watch more of these videos and pay close attention: your questions will be answered. Maybe you'll find the answer not today, but if you watch these videos often -- the answers will find you when they need you.
