Question asked by Om
Hello pastor, I'm a student, I have a mind that chase after negative thoughts such as want or having the desire to commit suicide when I'm a near a window ( don't even know why ), thinking negative things about my parents and friends and uncontrolled masturbation(lustful thoughts), and sometimes I talk to myself too much, my thoughts are so overwhelming and it started to affect my studies and I can't even focus during an exam, I fear that it sooner or later it might affect my career. Due to this, I have create the opportunity for other people to humiliate and reject me constantly, however this where I started to see reality but it make me lose trust at the same time, and I don't trust people anymore, decided to go lonely and alone, meantime it increase my mental anguish. As this make me so confuse and depress and I'm in fear and worry do not really know how and what to do, my parents do not know this, only me myself know as this can only enhance more misunderstanding, and my mind keep chasing thoughts, making my self and everybody confuse( I just can't control). I have nobody to consult and talk to, and i keep it almost very long. I have heard that Rinpoche's divination has a sharp accuracy to solve problems unless the the person who ask are willing to follow the full instructions. I would want to request for divination to see any preliminary practices or some mantras that I can do to solve this problem. If can mantra would be suitable for my condition if cannot then never-mine. Don't get me wrong I will still follow the full instruction of the divination. Any requirements that is needed to accomplish I will do so without any excuses. As this obstacle are so overwhelming, my mind keep chasing after thoughts. I hope I can get some set of solution as soon as possible before I do something stupid, due to uncontrollable freaking thoughts. Tq in advance.
Dear OM,
What you need is Dharma. To have peace and happiness, we need the Dharma in our life. Study the Dharma, practise and apply to your daily life to overcome your difficulties. Do join a Dharma centre near your house and start your practice. Read Dharma books and listen to Buddhist teachings. There are many teachings on Rinpoche’s Blog that will be helpful to you. You do not need divinations to start preliminary practices. Any Dharma centre will be able to give you advice. Rely on the Buddha’s teachings for peace and lasting happiness. Learn to be a better person. Be kind, patient and focus on giving love and happiness to others, starting with your parents, family members and friends. Stop focusing on yourself and your own happiness because ultimately, your happiness depends on others.
