We can turn these into strengths, with some guidance. A Buddhist Monk offers lessons that will open our eyes and push us forward.<\/p>\n
We should, first of all, continue trying to overcome challenges when we fail. A Buddhist Monk will suggest that we should look at problems from different perspectives because one of them may offer the solution we need<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The problems of this world are part of life. Buddhism<\/a> suggests that we can find the answers to them if we look within ourselves. Buddhist teachers give their students limited information to answer life’s tough questions. This test is to get them ready to deal with the world’s worries. Its aim is to prompt them to look within themselves.<\/p>\n Also, hard as the idea is to accept, we need failure to develop. The notion’s hard to stomach because our parents and teachers may have taught us that it’s unacceptable.<\/p>\n However, a human being learns through failure. Our mothers may have taught us life lessons, but they’re worthless unless we experience them. It boils down to the ‘half full or half empty<\/em>‘ glass philosophy. Everything is a matter of perspective.<\/p>\n There are always two sides of a coin, as the monks will share. With failure comes success, just as right accompanies wrong.<\/p>\n On the list of philosophies that a Buddhist monk can teach us is that we are our worst enemy. Our limiting beliefs<\/a>, anxieties, and insecurities affect us and cause unhappiness. Moreover, we won’t have external enemies if we overcome ourselves.<\/p>\n Another of Buddhism’s most essential teachings is that nothing in life is permanent. We must accept this philosophy so that that life will make sense to us. When you realize that life is transient, you’ll have fewer unrealistic expectations and live a peaceful life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n2. Answers come from within us<\/h3>\n
