1
What do you do when you want to give your fullest help to someone and you're willing to help someone, right?
2
You're giving your best to help someone and still they don't understand your help.
3
They don't understand the value of your help and they don't understand the consequences of their bad habits, the bad things that they do.
4
What should you do?
5
Well, this is one of the most common questions that I get asked from people.
6
I need to help this person, I care about this person, I want to help that person, I'm giving the best of mine, but still they're not ready to take that help.
7
They're not growing up.
8
What should I do?
9
Should I help them or should I stop helping them?
10
Well, I'll tell you the Buddha story, right?
11
Buddha had a khasin and his name was Devadatta.
12
Later he became a monk and in the beginning he did fine, he was doing good, he did meditations and he was doing good, right?
13
He became a monk under the Buddha's guidance.
14
And little by little Buddha became famous, people started to gather around the Buddha.
15
When Devdottir saw this, he became jealous on the Buddha and he thought, no, no, I need to become the Buddha.
16
Right?
17
I need to take this position.
18
He thought that Buddhahood was a position that was in a company, right?
19
That means like you swap the person and you can go to that position.
20
It was not like that, right?
21
So what happened?
22
He tried everything, right?
23
Devadatta tried everything to hurt the Buddha and harm the Buddha's life and kill the Buddha.
24
But still, Buddha had the compassion in his heart towards Devadatta.
25
And I came across this one part of the sutra that the Buddha says, it's amazing, the Buddha says that if there is anyone
26
that I was thinking about day and night and giving my fullest to help, right, that was Devadatta.
27
I was willing to give my best and I was thinking about him day and night to help this person.
28
But this person doesn't understand, and did not understand the consequences of his evil intentions.
29
Right?
30
So Buddha was willing to help, but he did not get the help.
31
Right?
32
And do you know when Devadatta learned the lesson?
33
It was in his deathbed.
34
In his deathbed, Devadatta told, I regret about the things that I did in the past towards the Buddha.
35
from now onwards I go for refuge to the Buddha.
36
But sometimes it is late, right?
37
So we need to understand that.
38
For some people to learn lessons in life, it takes some time, right?
39
It takes a long time to learn lessons, right?
40
Sometimes you are giving your fullest help and they don't understand.
41
That is the nature of people.
42
Because capacities of people, mental capacities of people, how people view this world is different, okay?
43
so if you care about someone right
44
if you love someone you need to give your best to help
45
that person right you need to be willing to give your best to
46
that person sometimes they will not understand it right in
47
that case please do not lose who you are right lose
48
do not lose your characters good good characters in the name of helping that person right you how to protect yourself.
49
If you only protect yourself, you can help that person, right?
50
First, do not lose who you are, lose your characters and lose your ethics to help someone.
51
That is the first thing that you have to do.
52
And then the second thing is that you need to understand for some people to learn lessons in life, it takes time, right?
53
So that you need to wait until that.
54
Until then, you need to practice your compassion and your empathy towards that person.
55
The Buddha said that, I have empathy towards Devadatta.
56
So in the same way, if we can have the empathy towards that person, that is the best thing to do.
57
And the third thing is that you need to be willing to help, give your fullest help at any time when they are ready.
58
Right?
59
Because sometimes when we give our help, right, we try our best and then we give up.
60
And after some time, the person learns the lesson and they come back to us to get the help.
61
And now we have the ego in our mind.
62
We always keep that past memories in our head and we say, no, I'm not giving you the help.
63
If you truly care about that person, if you truly love someone, you need to be willing to give you help at any time, right?
64
Whether they are in your life or out of your life, whatever the place, whatever the situation, if you truly care about that person's development, right?
65
you need to be willing to help.
66
So this is what we need.
67
First we need the patience and then we need to give the time for people to grow and learn, right?
68
Sometimes it works for you and also we need to be willing to help that person,
69
give the best to that person and that is what we do in these kind of situations.
70
So I believe that you got some idea about this situation So I wish you, may all of you be healthy,
71
happy and may all of you be able to realize the four noble truths in this life.
72
Namu Baddahaia.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
