What I love about Buddhist philosophy is that it's not about distracting or deluding yourself, it's about accepting truth and then finding a way to be peaceful and calm despite it.

Every time I watch a video of this channel. I feel better for some reason. It seems like I understand life a little bit better every time.

Love the similarities between Buddhism and Taoism.

When the external world doesn’t give answers, you have no choice but to look within. I think realizing how impermanent the material world is makes it easier to let go🙏

"Learn To Let Go, That Is The Key To Happiness."
- The Buddha

[QuietlyMagnetic]

Ironically I've learnt as my life experience grows, to first have the power to truly let go of something, we must first accept and embrace the very thing we seek to let go of, to acknowledge and accept its existence. Sometimes the hardest part is knowing you actually harbour something in the first place that you need to relinquish.

The trouble is you think you have time ~ Buddha

[quashawnchadwick]

Life is suffering. Suffering is caused by desire. That's a lot to ponder.

Wow, I'm from Nepal and I myself was surprised to here some of the things you mentioned in this video, some even I didn't know. For doing the right research, and giving us one more amazing video, thank you.

I'm wondering why the father didn't let in the chariot driver on the whole "positive vibes only" plan
