If you plant seeds of fear, you grow anxiety. If you ignore the weeds of resentment, they choke the connection.
Many of us are waiting for a "perfect" partner to walk into our lives, but we haven't cleared the "cluttered room" of our own hearts yet. We ask others to sit on the mess of our old regrets and wonder why they don't stay.
It’s time to stop asking "Will they choose me?" and start asking "Do I choose them?" Stop the cycle. Find your roots. Watch the new video now.

Kindness is one of the most misunderstood virtues in the modern world.
Too often, being “nice” turns into being silent. Being patient turns into being walked on. And being compassionate turns into carrying everyone else’s burdens while your own heart grows tired.
I just released a new Buddhist sermon on how to be kind without becoming a doormat.
It’s a calm, powerful teaching on setting boundaries without anger, saying no without guilt, and standing strong without losing your gentleness. If you’ve ever felt taken advantage of because you tried to be good, this message is for you.
Watch the full video and learn how to build a gentle heart with an unshakable spine.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, restless, or like life keeps rushing past you, this video was made for you.
Take a deep breath, find a quiet moment, and allow these words to settle your mind and heart. I hope it brings you the same sense of calm it brought me while creating it.

Many people chase success and end up exhausted, anxious, or empty. This video explores a different path: one rooted in calm, discipline, and inner clarity. Instead of forcing outcomes, it shows how success naturally arises when the mind is steady and actions are aligned with wisdom.
If you’ve ever felt pressured by hustle culture or frustrated by slow progress, this teaching may resonate with you. It offers practical insight on patience, ethical action, failure, and service, simple shifts that quietly change everything over time.
The full video is now live. Watch it when you’re ready, and let me know in the comments what part spoke to you the most.

So much health advice today pushes us toward extremes: push harder, restrict more, optimize everything, or give up entirely. This new video explores a different path: the Middle Way in modern health.
In this sermon, I share how balance, awareness, and compassion can guide the way we eat, move, rest, and care for both body and mind. It’s not about perfection or discipline through force. It’s about learning to respond wisely to what your body and mind need in each moment.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted by modern health culture, this teaching may offer a calmer and more sustainable perspective. Watch the full video and let me know in the comments what balance in health means to you.

A new year is a rare pause. A moment to reset the mind before the noise returns.
I just released a new video sharing 10 Buddhist habits for productivity, not about working harder, but about working with clarity, focus, and calm intention. These are timeless practices that help you protect your energy, reduce distraction, and move through 2026 without burnout.
If you’re starting this year feeling overwhelmed, unfocused, or simply wanting a better way to work and live, this video is for you. Watch it slowly. Apply one habit at a time. Let it shape the year ahead.
If the message resonates, I’d be grateful if you like the video, leave a comment with the habit you want to practice this year, and share it with someone who could use a calm reset for 2026.

🎊 Happy New Year 2026 🎉
As we step into a new year, I’ve shared a special video reflecting on 10 Buddhist principles that can help you thrive in 2026. These teachings are calm, practical, and meant to be applied in everyday life, especially during times of change and uncertainty.
This is not a video to rush through. It’s one to listen to slowly, to return to when the mind feels unsettled, and to reflect on as you begin the year with intention and clarity.
If you’re starting 2026 seeking peace, balance, and purpose rather than pressure or exhaustion, I believe this message will speak to you.
Watch the video, and if it resonates, feel free to like, comment, and share it with someone who may benefit from a quieter, wiser beginning to the year. Thank you for walking this path together.
Happy New Year and may 2026 be an amazing year 😊
