    It is better to be alone than to feel lonely in a relationship, than to be in the company of wrong friends and if it threatens your peace, well being and happiness

    Even though i'm an introvert, I feel like we are truly social creatures. Solitude is enjoyable when you know it is not 'forever' and that there are friends and family you can spend time with when you want. A sense of belonging is important. Connection.

      @margaritakleinman5701 ปีที่แล้ว +41

      Totally agree with you. I think it's all about balance. We need our social time and we also need our valuable alone time. Both are necessary!

    • @driftersky
      @driftersky ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Exactly! Solitude is only enjoyable when you know it's not forever, but when you don't have friends, or only be able to meet a friend once in a few months, enjoyable solitude has become extreme loneliness. That is my case. To me, this monk hasn't really experienced true loneliness and try to teach people about how to face loneliness.

    My sister has tonnes of friends. All friends she met in primary school, senior school, college, work etc are still close friends of her. I never had large cliques of friends. I always had a few close friends. And my friends walked away from my time to time. My mother ridiculed me since I was a kid, that I'm so friendless. Meanwhile, my sister was admired for having so many friends. She said that if trouble comes, there'll be no one to help me. However I have survived to be 39 now. In this country, people always do things in large groups. Solitary people like me are looked upon as failures. We are made to feel as if we were failures. But we are only being ourselves, responding to how others treat us, our way. That's all. Thank you for this video and for the confirmation that being solitary is a good thing too.

    Took me 45 years to understand the difference between loneliness and solute. It took me 45 years to understand being alone is an opportunity to work on yourself, study, learn, develop skill sets, exercise, and challenge your mind, body, and spirit. Its funny I no longer feel lonely when I am alone. But on rare occasions while at work I feel lonely around people. But I am starting to realize what I am doing wrong now and watching your video now makes so much more sense.

I have been a vegetarian from middle school on, and nobody else understood how I could have almost all my meals without meat. I understand that I will have to face loneliness, and my belief in Buddhism never changed. Thank you for telling me that I must hold the key to happiness in my hand🙏🙏

We are engaged in worldly desire’s and GOD like things.. we need to just come out of it and focus on self motivation and improvement…….. anyone can follow budhas teaching…..it’s for everyone born………….. yeah if you feel happy to be born into family which already followed budhism…….. then you are just blessed my friend…………🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have went to couple churches, but it didn't work out. For few days, I have thought about putting my faith and learn about Buddhism. In fact, I went to a local temple even though no one was there, I sat down and talked to Buddha outside to help give me some good spirits and I felt somewhat relieved. I'm planning on visiting again.

    This is one message I need for my whole life. Being an introvert, I often feel lonely. I use to think its because of me, my attitude, my way of thinking, and also because I can't stand small talks. But the truth is everyone is different and unique in their own way, you can only be you, not someone else. If this is how you're meant to be than that's how you will. Loneliness is beautiful only if you look at it in a way for you to be you yourself. Turning inwards ❤️. Thanks for this 🙏

I know that I would like to live in a more private area, so that I can paint landscapes in front of me, which I loved in New Mexico. I am a playful person and enjoy artistic people who are also playfully creative, productive and enjoy their lives. I would like to share a life with an honest, caring partner.

    loving your own company is not a bad thing and i think it's the best thing one can do because in this world no one is permanent u r the only one who's gonna be with urself so why don't spend time with urself. Solitude is nothing to be worried about in fact people are afraid and jealous of people who can enjoy their own company and don't need anyone to make them happy. No one is powerful than people who love being alone so we should learn to celebrate solitude because inner peace can come with this only nd no one knows u better than urself...

    Solitude is a very important component to become happy. Otherwise you become like a rat running around a maze. I have bought hundreds of books which fill up my mind. I haven't turned on the TV for three months. Each person is different but whether you are an introvert or an extrovert you need a certain amount of solitude to grow and also become less lonely. Filter out the noise in your life and you feel invigorated. Buddha was the greatest example of using solitude to attain Nibbana (nirvana). This young monk speaks so much wisdom and provides such clarity in how he expresses the profound truths of Buddhas teachings.

    Conclusion:
    0:00-3:40
    1. When we are with others, we are happy.
    But when we are not, we feel sad.
    2. Loneliness is when you depend the happiness from others.
    3. Solitude is when you find a happiness within yourself. Without depending on others.
    3:40 - 4:50
    4. Think about being alone more positively
    -you have more time for yourself.
    -you have freedom: can think and reflect about urself, meditation, check ur health and do actions to improve it, self-development and improve urself.
    -use that time to do good things to urself. When u know u use that time to do good things to urself, u will feel happy and positive about yourself. No more sadness.
    4:50 - 7:15
    5. Buddha be alone in jungle:
    Being alone is pain❌
    Being alone is to have time with myself. Have freedom. So, I can do meditation freely with no one to think about and disrupt me✅
    6. Use that time to create a better life or do the daily routines.
    -workout
    -go out for a walk
    -be with nature
    -read book
    -learn something new
    7. If people come, let they come.
    If they go away from you, let go.
    -learn to be with yourself without needing others. Learn to spend a time with yourself being alone. Do good things to yourself instead of thinking it as a pain.

    Aloneness more or less similar to solitude, that is what I felt. However, being alone or being solitude not necessarily mean you are happy with yourself while thinking of the monks inside forest and monasteries for years and gain nothing.
    Eternal happiness is the status of NO MIND in MIND. It is you are not clinging into your feelings /emotions but remain as a WITNESS.
