123: Buddha - 5 Easy Ways To Move On In Your Life Today (Buddism)

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

Buddha’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, we have already made a video on this, the link for this is in the description.
02. Dukkha which means that life is painful and causes suffering, and
03. Anatta which means that the self is always changing

According to Buddhism, our "self" is made up of five things, which they call "The Five Aggregates of clinging." These are:
01. Our physical body, our form,
02. How we feel about things, our feelings,
03. How we see and understand the world, our perception,
04. Our consciousness, which is our awareness, and
05. Our thoughts and emotions, our mental formations.

But none of these things on their own represent our true, unchanging self because they all change over time. So, "anattā" doesn't mean "no self" but rather "no permanent self." It reminds us that nothing in life stays the same forever, including ourselves. Understanding this concept of "non-self" can help us let go of things and move on in life. It can make us feel free and independent.
So here are six ways that you can use the idea of "non-self" to help you move on in life from the wisdom of buddha -
01. Live In The Present
02. Embrace Change
03. Be Grateful
04. Increase Your Confidence
05. Forgive
06. Be Compassionate
I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope these lessons from Buddha will help you in moving on 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.
