I feel I have made a lot of progress since the beginning of 2024. I have come to know myself a lot better, but the road is still long and difficult. I'm hoping to learn from others about their experience with looking inwards, and if my journey can help anyone then even better.

Buddhist Teachings · Jun 23, 2024

How do you know the difference between doing something by force and doing something not by force? I realize that I tend to force things in life, specifically situations, and this is something that I am trying to stop. But, I am now uncertain as to when I am forcing things compared to when I am initiating things. Doing things, such as approaching people, is not always forcing it, but I'm just having a hard time realizing the difference.

How do you practice not forcing things? In the teachings, there is the concept of not forcing things, Wu wei, so I wonder how other people practice this and implement it into their lives, and what changes and benefits they have noticed from it.

How do you handle situations that make you angry? Any time you are truly angry, how do you handle it? Im asking more about what you do once you are already angry, less about what you do to prevent it.

Why is it said that your knees should be below your waist while sitting and meditating? I have heard this said a few times but never asked why it is. Why is it important to have your knees below the level of your waist, is it for comfort, or another reason?

Is there anything in buddhism about loneliness? I am not sure I have ever come across this, but, is there anything in the Buddhist teachings about feeling lonely? I am sure there is something, but I just wonder if it's a sort of indirect reference, as in letting go will free you from the feeling of loneliness, or if there is something actually specific about loneliness.
