125: 4 Effortless Ways Of Dealing With Changes In Your Life - Buddha (Buddhism)


Listen Later

In this podcast we will be talking about how to deal with changes in life from the philosophy of The  Buddha. Gautama Buddha was a philosopher, a spiritual leader and is credited as the founder of Buddhism.

The teachings of Buddha revolve around Duhkha, which means suffering, and the end of Duhkha, which is regarded as the state of Nirvana. The philosophy’s most essential teaching includes the Three Marks of Existence, which are as follows: 
01. Annica which means that life is in a constant flux
02. Duhkha which means that life is painful and causes suffering, and
03. Anatta which means that the self is always changing

According to Buddha, our thoughts and experiences are subject to these three marks of our existence. It is a way of understanding ourselves and the world around us and in this video we will be talking about the first mark of existence - Annica to better understand the ever-changing, impermanent nature of life and how we can deal with the changes that come with that. Here are 4 ways we can try to not only embrace life changes, but also be happy and grow with them, from the philosophy of The Buddha - 
01. Acknowledge the change
02. Practice non-attachment  
03. Embrace change
04. Learn from the experience
I hope you listening to this podcast and hope these lessons from Buddha will help you in dealing with changes in your life. 

The Buddha was a philosopher, meditator, spiritual teacher, and religious leader who is credited as the founder of Buddhism. He was born as Siddhartha Gautama in India in 566 BC into an aristocratic family and when he was twenty-nine years old, he left the comforts of his home to seek the meaning of the suffering he saw around him. After six years of arduous yogic training, he abandoned the way of self-mortification and instead sat in mindful meditation beneath a bodhi tree. On the full moon of May, with the rising of the morning star, Siddhartha Gautama became the Buddha, the awakened one. The Buddha wandered the plains of northeastern India for 45 years more, teaching the path or Dharma he had realized in that moment. Around him developed a community of people, drawn from every tribe and caste, devoted to practicing this path. Nowadays, he is worshiped by most Buddhist schools as the enlightened one who has escaped the cycle of birth and rebirth, transcending Karma. Their main teachings focus on their insight into duhkha meaning “suffering” and into Nirvana, which means the end of suffering.
