Like many of you, I have a morning ritual that includes prayer and meditation. For many years, part of that ritual has been praying that "all beings be free of suffering" -- which is a traditional Buddhist loving-kindness mantra. However, over the course of this practice, I realized that my conceptualization of suffering -- and prayer and God -- was superficial and immature. To liberate people from suffering, we will all need to address the root cause of the problem.

Hey man! I've been noticing for a while your bodhisattva approach to what you do in therapy, and must say it's really refreshing. Even if I cannot donate to your channel since I'm unemployed and don't have spare money, your videos have really come and helped at times of need. I thank you
Greetings psychacks, I would like to know your opinion about feminism's gender slavery plan and the use of false accusations as a weapon of manipulation and persuasion, And the theory that we live in a matriarchy disguised to hide the subtle slavery of the strong and hardworking man, I would greatly appreciate it if you made a video about it
This is outstanding, I knew I liked you for a reason...just discovering Buddhism in depth, my morning prayer and meditation has been for a different reason (I'm a member of the largest selfless group in the world that nobody initially wants to be a member of) But truly helping others suffer less is how I stay alive, it is how I am happy and have a fulfilled life. Thanks Dr T.
I was bullied as a child. Sx abused as a kid. Abandoned by my mother. I always did my best to be optimistic and helpful. Joined the fire service to help. I met a nurse who turned out to be a narcissist. She eventually caused me to have a seizure. She then disappeared. I'm still struggling to get out of this hole. I watch this channel and every upload. However, life is hard and brutal. We could all do with spreading love and kindness. Of which you do. So sincere thanks for your efforts and time. Much love from the UK ❤️.
This is wonderful. The Bible, Sadhguru and other ancient wisdom teaches this. Dr. Orion makes it simple for those that choose to hear it without using Christian terms. Well done
I've been watching you for a while now on my journey with the girl in the mirror. This message is SO profound!! I've never donated on YT before, and this one is worth way more than what I can give. Thank you for existing on this platform and helping me help myself. 💜
Thank you for doing this amber, you make it possible for people like us who dont have the capacity to donate to keep enjoying and watching these videos!
@reiden90 You're so welcome reiden! Thank you for your comment. I have received donations many times throughout my life when I have had so much less. I wish you well on your journey! ❤️
Been watching your videos for a while now. Your content has made a big difference in my life and how I think about things. Thank you very much for putting your knowledge out there. It's very much appreciated!
This video brought tears to my eyes. Not tears of sadness but rather tears of joy. When you mentioned the part at the end about being a source of light to awaken others I realized that's what I have and will continue to be. My gratitude to those who came before me that helped me discover the truth, and to myself for persevering through the pain and discomfort to find the peace and contentment in life. May all beings find their own joy in enlightenment 🙏🏼
I was clinically diagnosed with depression, I had two failed suicide attempts until I finally understood that there is nothing worth suffering for. I understood the psychological pain that made me suffer was actually self inflicted by the way I viewed the world. I didn't meditate, but I trained my mind to have positive thoughts, especially in the morning, when I was waking up. After some time of blocking my negative thoughts and replacing them with more pleasant ones, I gradually became a happier person. Now I have many friends, I feel normal and I am not married or intend to. Ahh, life is good people, I tell you! Always look at the bright side..
That's so good you found a way out. Any other info that could help out? I don't like taking advice from people that have never been there and felt REAL depression. Too many people telling others to " Chin up" "it will get better" some how magically I assume.
That's great to hear. I did an episode on this strategy, called "The block-and-replace technique." It's an essential skill to discipline your mind. Keep up the good work.
That’s incredible, I’m happy you were able to make it out. You now have a lot to offer a LOT of people in terms of advice. Like another commenter said, you have BEEN there.
@@psychacks Thank you! It took me more than a decade to realize I could do this. You have a great channel, you help people. You should also keep up the good work. I think I actually was one of your first subscribers. Your channel grew exponentially. Have a good one.
I have a tolerance for pain as long as I understand it. I had kidney surgery and they poked me through the belly 5 places, including a four inch cut up the middle, and wow did that hurt when I moved. But I didn't waste time with pain meds, because I understood that getting stabbed 5 times is going to hurt while the wounds heal. Back spasms and sciatica on the other hand hurt pretty good, but I was angry about it because I didn't understand what was going on or how to get better. Similarly, I've had anger issues and outbursts for minor stresses. It turns out I have some unresolved issues from childhood, and not recognizing where the real pain was coming from caused my suffering to magnify. As I work things out, my stress and anxiety are going away; my suffering is relieved. That said, there are comments about people and pets dying, injury and illness, and that suffering isn't avoided with a morning prayer or whatever. This is real pain, however, and it's supposed to hurt; the root cause is external and obvious. By getting our affairs in order, we can avoid the daily grind of wallowing in self inflicted misery, so when life happens to us, we can suffer that problem genuinely and grow from it.
What a helluva an episode... I too believe that sometimes, all it takes is a model of courage and peace to inspire change in others. That's the biggest reason that I continue to live life as I do inside and outside TH-cam. Nice one doc!
For years I wondered where the gaping black hole in my soul derived from , this video has given me answers, & that the answer was in my own eyes & heart . It takes courage to face yourself, to mend the monsters within we created , I think they just needed to be seen & forgiven . thank you . May inner peace be with you to all through this process of being light embodied roaming through earth . We are limitless potential & beyond
I found that gratitude was something I was missing throughout much of my life. A sense of entitlement lead me to believe that if I didn't have what I wanted, then I was being wronged. The truth is, I don't deserve anything. Just being alive is a gift. I will hold onto this realization because God gave it to me. Now I dedicate that which was given to me back to Him.
For everyone that is skeptical and thinks this is just some sweet spiritual baloney, I can tell you that he is actually very right. I was skeptical of spirituality and its practices too until I actually tried them. Consistent meditation made me experience the benefits.
Its so refreshing to hear someone like yourself come to the exact same realizations that I have. Long fought realizations in my case. It took me years of questions and trial and error. Often going against the grain. Often being ridiculed or scorned for my approach. For a long time I've not been interested in Dogma or being politically correct or sugar coating things just to tell people what they want to hear. I'm a practical guy. I've had a strong BS meter from an early age. I have my Father to thank for this. But I took it to the next level. Life has pain. The pain of life is unavoidable. However suffering is a choice. Thank you Shinzen Young
When I feel forgotten and hopeless Lord let your water of life comfort me. Even though I fell on hard times these pass three years. I’m holding on and keeping faith even though it’s hard. Faith is our armor against the enemy. I keep faith even as I constantly struggle to provide for my children and I constantly struggle to buy groceries. My husband died years ago. At times I feel so alone especially as a single mom. Since suffering a heart attack two years ago and my on going battle with lupus I’m overwhelmed and discouraged. Both of my sons are autistic but because of you Lord they are thriving. I’m now homeschooling them so my hours to work are limited. I’m afraid Lord. Afraid of homelessness. Thankfully I have you Lord! I know you will continue to provide you have this far. I LOVE YOU HEAVENLY FATHER.
this is good. I think it helps sort out what's internal suffering and what's coming from outside. If I say "Stop bothering me" and a person doesn't stop, I shouldn't engage with that person ever again! A roommate, a boss, a date a sibling or a parent. Too bad. Im outta here. And its not really sad. If you don't want to live anymore, DON'T! Makes sense.. I might be outta here sooner than later. Thanks for this. No need to go around suffering about it
This is beautiful, Orion. Thank you. Edit: The first half anyway. I think bringing up the "like and subscribe" message halfway through a video breaks you from your train of thought and the listener from theirs.
Thank you so much for your work. You are an amazing human being, and a big role model for many people, myself included for how to lead a conscious life based in reality. Your work is truly aiding in helping get rid of unnecesary suffering and my thoughts and prayers go to you and to your cause as you deserve them all. May your positivity help to bloom beautiful and strong thought trees in the soul gardens of as many beings as possible :)
"Hatred is a curse that does not effect the hated, it is like a poison, we must release the hatred to stop poisoning ourselves." "It is not what goes into a man that defiles him, but what comes out of him."
People's character develops when they are in the valley not when they are on the mountain top. We live in a sinful world because of the fall of man. Buddha didn't die on a cross for our sins. It's about this time you would have already clicked from reading the rest of what I have to say. Why? You have a very tenacious/aggressive personality. One that is set in your own ways and beliefs. It's great that you are taking an empathetic approach to mankind. Your prayers are misguided because your praying to the wrong God. I do like your content. Much of it has accuracy. I expect it to since you have a psychology degree. However, most psychologists never come to a faith in Christ because their overly logical side can't wrap their head around the ways of Jesus. I really hope you come to a greater understanding.
How you don’t have 1 million subscribers yet is a mystery The content is quality and promotes emotional intelligence, enhances people skills, and contributes greatly to developing an ameliorated quality of life shining light on those fumbling in the darkness. Also the way you speak or your idiolect is very inviting and appealing, speaks well. Love the channel and appreciate what you do, hopes for continued success Cheers ! - Jeremy H.
Malice is common and the cause of much suffering. That said, the harder truth is that our response should be the same whether the source of suffering is our own sin or being "sinned against." Repent for the sin, including in in our response to abuse, whether pride, rage, or despair. That may be unwelcome advice for a victim to pray to let go of their anger, for example, but it's the path back to joy.
association with the unbeloved is dukkha; separation from the loved is dukkha; not getting what is wanted is dukkha. SN 56.11 And what is the cause by which dukkha comes into play? Craving is the cause by which dukkha comes into play. AN 6.63 But whoever overcomes this wretched craving, so difficult to overcome, from him sorrows fall away like water from a lotus leaf. - dhp336
All suffering is perception. True suffering is experienced by the person who gets everything he always wanted but finds that he is still not happy. All guilt is in our thoughts about the past, and all fear is in our thoughts about the future. There is no past or future. The past is gone. The future is not yet. All there is is our thoughts about the past and our thoughts about the future. Those thoughts are the veil that hides the present -- the only thing that is real. The only real reality. Almost all thoughts about the past are about guilt. "I wish I had done that differently." Almost all thoughts about the future are about fear. "I need to think about what I'm going to do, so I don't screw up." Letting all those thoughts go allows us to be pulled into the present moment. The only reality there is. Letting go of thoughts about the past is letting go of all guilt. All of our guilt is in those thoughts. Letting go of thoughts about the future is letting go of all fear. All of our fear is in those thoughts. Having let go of guilt and fear, the only thing left is love. Love is all we experience in the present moment. Seeing the world through the eyes of love makes us experience everything as beautiful and everyone as wonderful. It is true perception. It is the end of suffering.
I wish a video was made on why men are leaving specifically to explain to parents it is really annoying constantly going through this cycle with them and i dont know if they are to stubborn or am i just not able to articulate on the matter as well as i think i do. Either way, I would love to see a video directed to explaining the concept to mothers or fathers alike because it is becoming insufferable.
True libertarian values. I see the similarities to real Christian values there as well. Only the individual can basically save themselves. This needs to happen before they can fully contribute to their communities and greater society as a whole. Being more aware of one's self as an individual and not part of a collective brings great benefits... it's not being selfish. That's a different story and not a bad one either
We can’t escape suffering. Period. We all have crosses to bear. The short, lighter cross piece is other people and environment. The long, heaviest piece is ourselves. CHRIST IS 👑
Suffering and pain are inevitable. Even Jesus, Himself the Truth, suffered by choosing to relate to those who couldn't understand Him. The greatest suffering we cannot imagine. To love the ones you die for and know their lack of understanding of Him and his purpose. We too must suffer greatly in proportion to the love we choose to live toward others who will not understand our intentions.
People who lose their dear ones, know the true meaning of life, as they know the other side of life pretty well, they are very much sure about the present phase of their life, and know the value of life and people around, it's often the most difficult thing to accept. When people die and part away, life takes a sudden big turn, something we have never imagined and are least equipped to carry on this journey of life. Move on they say, for all they know.
Hi Dr. Taraban, I know you two likely have very conflicting views, but I think it would be very interesting to see you have a discussion with Dr. K (Healthygamergg). He is a psychiatrist who incorporates a lot of practices from Eastern religions (such as various meditations and such).
Like many of you, I have a morning ritual that includes prayer and meditation. For many years, part of that ritual has been praying that "all beings be free of suffering" -- which is a traditional Buddhist loving-kindness mantra. However, over the course of this practice, I realized that my conceptualization of suffering -- and prayer and God -- was superficial and immature. To liberate people from suffering, we will all need to address the root cause of the problem.

Good for you being optimistic. That does not mean it will work for everyone to adapt your mindset. I don't in forcing myself to be positive.
I meditate for 30 minutes a day. Now I can really feel what Im feeling and detach myself from it.
A new spiritual practuce. Dont believe every thought that comes into your head.
What type of meditation do you practice?
This is wonderful. The Bible, Sadhguru and other ancient wisdom teaches this.

Great video! As I always say, "Pain is mandatory. Suffering is optional."
I call bullshit on that
My Buddhist teacher taught me that ages ago, and I truly begin to appreciate the significance of this prayer as I get older.
I have a tolerance for pain as long as I understand it. I had kidney surgery and they poked me through the belly 5 places, including a four inch cut up the middle, and wow did that hurt when I moved.

I cannot explain how much i love your videos
Prayer is to give thanks not to ask for things🙌🙌
It is both
Ask believing and give thanks and it is yours.
To desire(the impossible or improbable)is to suffer....🤲
No path is free of pain, but not all paths lead to a reward.
Life is suffering...no one will escape for free. Maybe ways to transcend suffering.
That's your own sad mindset. I don't suffer. I simply don't accept it.
@@LisaCulton life is suffering....every one around you dies. You get sick, get hurt etc. Yes, there are great things about life but it is suffering.
@@toddjohnson271 I am healthy, I am safe and people die, but the soul lives on. Zero suffering. I don't do that.
Thats why I read and practice stoicism
Hope you never vote Democrat
May all beings be free of malice. Our will is solely our own, and what we will be judged upon. God pardons the son, not the will.

Great and very important message. Lets have a big conciousness alarm clock movement. :)
Malice is common and the cause of much suffering. That said, the harder truth is that our response should be the same whether the source of suffering is our own sin or being "sinned against." Repent for the sin, including in in our response to abuse, whether pride, rage, or despair. That may be unwelcome advice for a victim to pray to let go of their anger, for example, but it's the path back to joy.
association with the unbeloved is dukkha; separation from the loved is dukkha; not getting what is wanted is dukkha. SN 56.11
And what is the cause by which dukkha comes into play? Craving is the cause by which dukkha comes into play. AN 6.63
But whoever overcomes this wretched craving, so difficult to overcome, from him sorrows fall away like water from a lotus leaf. - dhp336
We should see a video of Dr. Orion’s daily routine !
All suffering is perception. True suffering is experienced by the person who gets everything he always wanted but finds that he is still not happy.
All guilt is in our thoughts about the past, and all fear is in our thoughts about the future. There is no past or future. The past is gone. The future is not yet. All there is is our thoughts about the past and our thoughts about the future. Those thoughts are the veil that hides the present -- the only thing that is real. The only real reality.
Almost all thoughts about the past are about guilt. "I wish I had done that differently." Almost all thoughts about the future are about fear. "I need to think about what I'm going to do, so I don't screw up."
Letting all those thoughts go allows us to be pulled into the present moment. The only reality there is.
Letting go of thoughts about the past is letting go of all guilt. All of our guilt is in those thoughts.
Letting go of thoughts about the future is letting go of all fear. All of our fear is in those thoughts.
Having let go of guilt and fear, the only thing left is love. Love is all we experience in the present moment. Seeing the world through the eyes of love makes us experience everything as beautiful and everyone as wonderful. It is true perception. It is the end of suffering.
I wish a video was made on why men are leaving specifically to explain to parents it is really annoying constantly going through this cycle with them and i dont know if they are to stubborn or am i just not able to articulate on the matter as well as i think i do. Either way, I would love to see a video directed to explaining the concept to mothers or fathers alike because it is becoming insufferable.

Love how Buddhist you are, haha I feel like I'm gonna watch the next video and you took the bodhisattva vow
True libertarian values. I see the similarities to real Christian values there as well. Only the individual can basically save themselves. This needs to happen before they can fully contribute to their communities and greater society as a whole. Being more aware of one's self as an individual and not part of a collective brings great benefits... it's not being selfish. That's a different story and not a bad one either
love what you do bro
According to Job5:7 men weren't born for heaven!
May all beings OVERCOME suffering!
Rev 21:3-4 and Matt 6:10 give us something to pray for that will alleviate mankind's suffering inside and out.
Waking up needs near death experience and ego of people won't let it happen
Very nice
God said in the book of Hosea my people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge
We can’t escape suffering. Period. We all have crosses to bear. The short, lighter cross piece is other people and environment. The long, heaviest piece is ourselves. CHRIST IS 👑
Great ❤
U real great man❤
Suffering and pain are inevitable. Even Jesus, Himself the Truth, suffered by choosing to relate to those who couldn't understand Him. The greatest suffering we cannot imagine. To love the ones you die for and know their lack of understanding of Him and his purpose.
We too must suffer greatly in proportion to the love we choose to live toward others who will not understand our intentions.
People who lose their dear ones, know the true meaning of life, as they know the other side of life pretty well, they are very much sure about the present phase of their life, and know the value of life and people around, it's often the most difficult thing to accept. When people die and part away, life takes a sudden big turn, something we have never imagined and are least equipped to carry on this journey of life. Move on they say, for all they know.
Hi Dr. Taraban, I know you two likely have very conflicting views, but I think it would be very interesting to see you have a discussion with Dr. K (Healthygamergg). He is a psychiatrist who incorporates a lot of practices from Eastern religions (such as various meditations and such).
🙏🏻💫🌪️✨
Namaste
Thanks. Really helped a lot. I need to wake the f up.

Wake the fuck up! Not to be confused with woke 😂. Great vid and thoughts on ways we all need to work on ourselves and perspectives
It's so simple! Just stop wanting anything, so you won't be disappointed when you don't get it. 😃
Today is the binara poya holiday for buddhists 🙏
