1
First of all, We have to realize that living in the present moment,
2
focusing your mind to the present moment is not a simple thing.

It is very hard, but also it is an achievable target.

6
and also you should not Make too much expectations about the future.
7
Supreme Buddha said, "Yadati taṁ pahi nantang apat tanca anākta." What is past is left behind.
8
It is gone.
9
It is over now.
10
"Apattham ca anagatam" - the future is yet to come.
11
It hasn't reached yet.
12
Buddha said, "Pachuppa nanchayodhammaṁ tatha tatha vipasati." What you have to do is live in the present moment,
13
and see the present moment as it is.
14
Right?
15
Realize the present moment as it is.
16
So it is very hard to focus your mind to the present moment.
17
Our great teacher, Supreme Buddha taught us, the nature of the mind is it always runs to the past.
18
Normally, our mind has a habit to wander in the past memories.
19
Right?
20
When we are alone, when we are in solitude, and when we live in our life alone,
21
lonely, Normally, it is the nature our mind runs to the past.
22
It lives in the past memories, thinking about them.
23
Sometimes you may regret about them.
24
Sometimes you may be happy about them.
25
Sometimes you may cry about them.
26
Right?
27
So that is the nature of our mind.
28
It is always wandering.
29
in the past.
30
Thank you.
31
And also sometimes our mind tries to make expectations, too much expectations about the future.
32
Thank you.
33
Right?
34
People dream too much about their future.
35
but they do not work for the dreams to come true.
36
So our great teacher, Supreme Buddha taught us you should not Let your mind wander in the past,
37
As well as, you should not let your mind to go for the future and make too much expectations about that.
38
What you have to do is, you have to work in the present moment to make your future better,
39
as well as to make your past better. Because...
40
When you live correctly, in the present moment, Right?
41

42
because you have lived in the correct way.
43
And also, if you are sure that you are living correctly in the right way in the present moment,
44

45
Because you are doing the right thing right now.
46
So, you need to have a good practice to Focus your mind to the present moment.
47
So, it should be practiced by meditation,
48
as well as it should be practiced in the practical world. in your life.
49
So I will teach you some tricks or things that you should practice in your life to be in the present moment.
50
Right?
51
So, When you have a free time, right?
52
Dedicate yourself to live in the present moment for a little time.
53
During the day, when you have the free time, allocate your time about 5 minutes to live in the present moment.
54
Sit on a chair.
55
You can close your eyes.
56
and just experience that you are in your present.
57
You are not in your past, You are not in your future, always you are in your present. That is the reality.
58
Right?
59
The past has gone as well as The future hasn't come yet.
60
Right?
61
So, Close your eyes and just try to focus your mind to the present moment.
62
Try to think about what you feel, what you hear, and what you think about.
63
All the things that you experience now will fade away to the past.
64
And it will be.. it will go into the arena of fast.
65
Right?
66
So take your time in the day and practice this.
67
The best way to focus your mind to the present moment is the breathing meditation.
68
Breathing meditation is one of the best meditations that you can bring your mind from the arena of past and the future,
69
to the present moment.
70
Because the breath, when you are focusing on your breath, Right?
71
Always the breath arises and it goes down, so this breath prevails in the present.
72
So when you focus that, when you focus your mind to the breath, Then, Your mind is always in the present moment.
73
And also, you have to practice to live in the present moment in your practical life, in your day -to -day life.
74
So how to do that?
75
So it is very beneficial to live in the present when you are in the hard times.
76
When you are going through a problem, Now suppose, if a person comes to you and started blaming you,
77
Now, when he is blaming, you hear that sound.
78
the words, When we think about these words, When he is blaming, you hear that, and after that very moment,
79
it has gone to the arena of past.
80
those words are not prevailing anymore.
81
Right?
82
But our mind does not like to think that.
83
Our mind clings to those words.
84
Right?
85
Our mind tries to hold on to those words, and what our mind does is,
86
it always makes a loop -like thing to bring back all those thoughts,
87
all those words, again and again to our mind.
88
And that is why we are suffering.
89
That is why we feel hurt.
90
Bye.
91
Right?
92
If we can realize the reality that all these words that I heard has gone to the past,
93
they are not, no longer here anymore.
94
they are vanished, then you don't want to suffer for anything.
95
Right?
96
Because it has gone to the past, you cannot do anything about that.
97
But our mind is not ready for that.
98
Right?
99
Our mind tries to cling to those words.
100
Right.
101
So what you have to do when someone blames you, when you are going through a hard time,
102
realize that that all those things are impermanent,
103
And it vanishes very quickly from my life, so I don't want to worry about them.
104
Right?
105
So, if you are living in the present moment correctly, doing the correct thing, doing the right thing, doing good things.
106
You don't want to worry about the past, as well as, you don't want to worry about the future.
107
Of course, you can make the plans for the future, no problem.
108
But do not dream too much about it.
109
Because the more we dream, it is like we are stopping our vehicle and just looking at towards the road.
110
Without driving, Right?
111
The more we dream, we feel jealous about the achievers, that who achieve our goals.
112
Right?
113
So, it is like you are stopping your vehicle on the road and looking at the vehicles that pass by.
114
You're not driving.
115
You can make your plans, you can make your goals, but do not dream too much about it.
116
Just start working for it.
117
Right?
118
So, the dream becomes a goal when you are working on it only.
119
So, if you can live in the present, doing the correct thing, doing what should be done now,
120
You don't want to worry about the past as well as you don't want to worry about the future.
121
So in that way, you will have a life without regret and without
122
worrying about the future and the past and live your life in the present moment and be happy by your life.
123
Namo Buddhaya, Teruansaranay.
124
Namo Buddhaya.
125
Welcome to another video.
126
In today's video, let's talk about how to control these emotions of anger.
127
Well, Anger itself is a natural human emotion.
128
We all feel angry.
129
But, If we do not know how to control this emotion, If we do not know how to deal with anger,
130
Sometimes it can be destructive.
131
And if he let that anger to control over our life, we will get into lots of troubles. So, today.
132
I'm going to introduce you a little practice that you can practice in your practical life to deal with this emotion.
133
Well, first of all, I have to remember, none of these practices are easy.
134
In fact, nothing in life that brings us the happiness, that brings the peacefulness to your life, is not an easy task.
135
Thank you.
136
It is a difficult one.
137
Though it is difficult, we cannot abandon it.
138
Because we like to be happy and we like to be peaceful in our life.
139
So that is why Buddha said that everything that brings the happiness to your life.
140
is a difficult task.
141
So what are the things that we can do to deal with these emotions of anger.
142
Well, the first and the foremost thing
143
that you can do to deal with these emotions is to acknowledge that your thoughts are in anger.
144
If you don't know your thoughts are in anger, you cannot deal with it.
145
So this includes the mindfulness.
146
Whenever you are about to get angry.
147
Whenever you feel that you are triggered by this anger, Just ask this question, what am I thinking now?
148
in which mode my thoughts are in now, right?
149
Whenever you ask that question and whenever you answer it, You can find, "Oh, I'm about to get angry now.
150
Now my thoughts are in anger.
151
That is the first step to know that you are angry.
152
Then it comes to the second step.
153
right?
154
So, In this second step, if you look at this, If I ask a question from you,
155
Whenever you feel angry, Imagine a situation that you have felt angry about something or someone, right?
156
How your breathing pattern works?
157
How our breathing pattern changes when we feel angry.
158
It speeds out.
159
and we take short breaths.
160
Slide.
161
So that gives the sign to our body, that gives the message to our body, that now you're ready for getting angry.
162
We are breathing heavily, we are breathing in short periods, and we are breathing speedily.
163
So the first thing that you can do is to slow down your breathing pattern.
164
Amen.
165
Take a deep breath in and let it out Take another deep breath in, and let it down.
166
Slowing down the breathing pattern will help you to calm your body and calm your mind.
167
Whenever we feel calm and when we are about to take a rest, what is the thing that we do?
168
For an example, after a long, long day of work, when you come home and after having a good shower, if you fell on the couch,
169
If you fell on the bed, what is the first thing that you do?
170
You take a deep breath in and let it out.
171
That is the thing that you do.
172
That means you are giving the signal to your body that you are about to get calm, or to have a rest.
173
So the thing that we have to do, whenever we feel angry, whenever we feel panicked, Thank you.
174
Just give the message to your body, that Be calm by taking 2 -3 deep breaths in and out.
175
Right?
176
So, breathing can help you a lot.
177
Then as the third step, now you're a little bit peaceful and calming.
178
Now, you can wisely reflect on your thought pattern.
179
When you reflect about your thoughts, you can find, "Why did I become angry with this person?" What is that?
180
then you can find that anger does not prevail in an outer world, in that person or that thing,
181
specific thing, anger prevails in my mind.
182
It is something that I have created.
183
Whenever you come to a situation that you are triggered to be angry, You come up with these two choices,
184
either to react with negativity or to respond with positivity.
185
That is up to you.
186
And your experiences and your good and bad experiences depend on these choices that you make.
187
So, You totally have the power and you totally have the privilege to respond with positivity.
188
Right?
189
So you have to believe in patience for that.
190
Remember, there is nothing in this world, there is no problem in this world that has been solved with angle.
191
That is why Buddha said, "Anger does not cease by anger, or hatred does not cease by hatred." All right.
192
Hatred is seized by love and kindness only.
193
So you have to believe in patience.
194
and compassion and forgiveness.
195
That is the way that you are going to solve the problem.
196
Though you react in anger, though you yell out or scream or take actions with anger, that is not going to help.
197
That is not going to solve the problem.
198
It will make the problem even more worse.
199
I have seen lots of people who could not control their anger for a split second.
200
Just because they could not control their anger for a split second, now they are regretting for their whole life.
201
So remember, anger is not going to help you.
202
So when you believe in patience and kindness and compassion,
203
you will have this strength to face that situation more positively.
204
Remember what Buddha said.
205
The Buddha said, "Before you do something, from your body, from your speech, or from your mind, just wisely reflect.
206
that what I'm going to do is this worthy of doing.
207
Is it bringing happiness to myself or is it bringing happiness to others?
208
Is it going to hurt others or is it going to hurt myself?
209
If it is hurting you, and if it is hurting to other self, Do not try to do it.
210
you It is okay that we feel angry sometimes in our mind,
211
but it is not okay to let that anger to flow out from our bodily actions and our words.
212
Right?
213
So remember, This is how we can control it.
214
Always believe in patience and kindness.
215
That is where you're gonna solve the problems.
216
So this is a little practice where we can deal with these emotions of anger.
217
So practice these practices little by little and make your life a peaceful one.
218
Namo Buddhaya!
219
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another video.
220
In today's video, I'm going to share with you Four signs that you're having a toxic friendship.
221
Now, before we discuss about these things, I have to mention and I have to say
222
that the sole purpose of this discussion is not to attack on someone's personal life, Not to criticize someone or not to judge someone,
223
but to understand that mistakes can happen from everyone.
224
We make mistakes.
225
We all make mistakes.
226
but we have to be wise when we deal with people.
227
Because the most important thing in our life is the peacefulness in our mind and the mental health.
228
So, with that in your mind, Let's dive into today's video.
229
So the first sign of a toxic relationship is they are only willing to take something from you, but they are not willing to give anything.
230
right remember when it is a friendship or if it is a relationship, it must be a give and take process.
231
That means when you give something, they must give something back.
232
Okay, when relationships and friendships become a one -way road, it is very painful.
233
That is why when you see, when you spot such a brand, The first thing that you have to do is to not be too quick to judge them.
234
because sometimes people are going through tough times in their life right?
235
Sometimes they are suffering personally, they're not in a good condition to help you.
236
So what you have to do is-- You have to look for the person behind the actions.
237
you have to look for the intention behind their words.
238
Okay, so if you really found such a sign in your friendship, what you have to do is set your boundaries.
239
Okay?
240
Limit your...
241
boundaries.
242
and you have to decide whether I'm going to let this person to enter to my life
243
or whether I'm not going to let him enter into my life.
244
So, keep that in your mind.
245
That is the first sign.
246
Then let's move to the second sign.
247
The second sign is they only talk, but they are not willing to help you in actions.
248
Okay.
249
This is a friendship that is based only on words.
250
Okay?
251
They will praise you and they will be nice to you, right?
252
They will say and they will give you promises.
253
to you but only with the words but not with actions.
254
Remember, actions speak louder than words.
255
So if it is a friendship, you must be a friend from your words as well as from your actions.
256
Okay, that is the second sign.
257
They only talk but they are not willing to help you with actions.
258
Moving on to the third sign, We have flattering friends.
259
Fluttering friends are the people who talk nice things about you in front of you.
260
They will praise you, they will compliment you.
261
They are not afraid to put you down behind your back.
262
Okay?
263
You have to be very careful when you deal with such people.
264
We should not hate anyone.
265
We should not be angry with these people.
266
What you have to do is, you have to understand about the nature of people, nature of the intentions of the people and forgive them.
267
right forgive them and use your wisdom to stay away from their negativity and that is the real meaning of kindness
268
to forgive someone and to stay away from people's negativity.
269
So when you support Flattering friends It's okay to be with them, it's okay to talk with them, but you have to be wise when you deal with such people.
270
And finally, we have evil helpers.
271
Evil helpers are the people who help you in doing bad things.
272
That means when you are about to do a bad thing, or when you are about to do a thing that is not good for your life and for your mental health, they will help you in doing it.
273
right?
274
They will feel your anger, they will feel your jealousy, Okay, they will help you in doing bad things that are, that brings the regret to your life.
275
Right?
276
So you should be very careful and you should stay away from these people.
277
So these are the four signs that you're having a toxic friendship.
278
Now why should we become so much aware of these friends and these signs?
279
Because, do you know, our characters are shaped by the people who we associate.
280
There is a saying it says: You are the average of five people that you are associating closely.
281
That means we become who we associate.
282
Therefore, surround yourself with positive people and the people who can uplift you and support you.
283
And finally, remember that you deserve positive and healthy friendships.
284
that supports your life and your personal growth.
285
Keep it in your mind.
286
Namo Buddhaya.

Why practice speaking with this video?
Engaging with the teachings shared in this video can significantly enhance your English speaking skills. The video addresses the fundamental principle of living in the present moment, making it rich in emotional and philosophical content. By practicing your speaking skills alongside this material, you will not only improve your vocabulary but also learn to articulate complex ideas clearly. Techniques such as shadowing—where you mimic the speaker’s words immediately after hearing them—can further strengthen your fluency. This method can be particularly beneficial for IELTS speaking practice, helping you express thoughts with clarity and confidence.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Throughout the transcript, several key grammatical structures and expressions are employed that can enhance your speaking abilities:
- Imperative forms: Phrases such as "Do not chase after the past" exemplify imperative sentences used for giving advice or commands. Practicing such structures can help you sound more authoritative in your conversations.
- Use of infinitives: Expressions like "to focus your mind" offer insight into how infinitives function in context. This structure is essential for creating nuanced meanings in your speech.
- Contrastive structures: The speaker illustrates contrasts, such as "live in the present moment" versus "let your mind wander." Mastering the expression of contrasts will enhance your ability to discuss multiple viewpoints effectively.
Common Pronunciation Traps
Pronunciation is crucial for clear communication, and there are several tricky words and phrases in the video that may pose challenges:
- Words like "anāgataṃ" and "Apattham": These terms can be difficult due to their unique sounds. Focus on breaking them into syllables to improve your pronunciation.
- Compound phrases: Phrases such as "live in the present moment" require practice to ensure smooth delivery. Utilize a shadowing app to repeat these phrases after the speaker for improved fluency.
- Intonation: The speaker emphasizes certain words and phrases to convey meaning. Pay attention to the speaker’s intonation patterns, practicing them to enhance your own speaking style.
By focusing on these elements while shadowing the video content, you can effectively improve English pronunciation and gain valuable insights into expressive speaking. The fusion of thought and language in this video makes it an excellent resource for learners seeking personal development and language mastery.
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
