I am 84 and l have many interest but the main one came into being when l realised that doctors are only interested in selling drugs and not preventing illness especially in those who are passed retirement and by this time l was well on the way to being seriously ill. Over the last 3 - 4 yrs l have applied basic principles listening to what my body was telling me and though not out of the woods l am in better mental and physical health than l have been most of my life!
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story! It's wonderful to hear that you have taken charge of your health and are feeling better. The principles of listening to your body align well with many Buddhist teachings, emphasizing mindfulness and self-awareness. What specific practices or habits have you found most helpful on your journey? We'd love to hear more and continue this meaningful conversation.
You are absolutely right. I have arthritis which many do at 79. I was put on medication to help me with my arthritis. I have been taking it for about 3 years. I just looked at the side effects of this medication and they're worse than the arthritis. Also I found out I was only supposed to take it for 10 days and then not take it and if I start hurting again take it again. But the prescription bottle says take one daily. Now that is a big mistake those pills could have killed me. Praise the Lord I'm smart enough to investigate it on the internet. I no longer take meloxicam which is an naproxen. I also cut out my blood pressure medicine because Meloxicam constricts the vessels and increases your blood pressure. Go figure are they trying to cure us or just get rid of us. Well I got news for them, I'll be here until God gets ready to take me home. Not the quacks doing it.
Yes
@coppercranejewelry5078 Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s alarming how medications can sometimes cause more harm than good. Your story highlights the importance of staying informed about our health. According to Buddhist teachings, maintaining awareness and mindfulness in all aspects of life, including our health, is crucial. How have you found Buddhist teachings to help you navigate these challenges? Please keep sharing your insights with us!
A cured patient ia a lost client
I am 85 yrs old. I do household chores, cleaning my room, do my beddings, do my own laundry, cooking, maintaining a garden. On top of these, I write poems, publish my book, painting, go ballroom dancing with friends, actively involved in community affairs as: Member of the Board of Directors of a community cooperative, attend seminars & training programs, active in Seniors Associations, take charge of seniors choral, travels with my family, enjoy family bondings, Most of all, I enjoy financial stability & freedom, sharing my finances with my children without them asking & doting on my grandchildren. Life has never been.more wonderful & satisfying than in.my old age. God is good. To God be the glory!!!😊
I just turned 87 the 11th, I am vigilant and somehow protected. My garden has not been good this year and my son who lives 13 hours from me said I guess you’ll give it up next season? Is he crazy? My garden, canning, preserving my foodstuff and maintaining my three story
house is what keeps me going. I also rug hook and design my own rugs. Life has a good.
Amen❤!!
Happy birthday!! 🎈
To God be the glory, absolutely 🙏❤
Sir, I have a friend that is 94, does all that and still drives cross country to relatives. He is as sharp as anyone in their 40's.
I am 92 years young and doing all 9 🤗🎶
That's truly inspiring! Your dedication to living fully at 92 is a wonderful example of the wisdom in Buddhist teachings. Keep shining! 😊🎉
But can you tie your own shoes?
#9 etc #9, a song by The Beatles. #Grasshopper.
Nice
@@donparadise3157I can and am sure she can!!!
I know I'm just a punk kid at 68 so I feel humbled telling my story. After renting for 40 years my wife and I finally purchased a 1.25 acre parcel of "raw" land in the mountains of northern Arizona and although it was 750 miles away it was "ours". This is year 8 of a 5 year plan so we're right on schedule. I bought a small sawmill and started milling lumber. We are close to finishing our "Mountain timber frame lodge style" cabin. The greatest adventure of our lives. It keeps me fit both physically and mentally. Our sons have been helping us. There is no better way to bond with your kids than sharing an experience like this. My advice is to have a dream. Soon it turns into a vision and before you realize it you are living the life that had only dreamed about. I am a professional Blacksmith, Artist and a half ass Harmonica player. Married to my soul mate for 35 years. How to stay fit: Chop wood, carry water.
...and put the kettle on for a ' cuppa tea ". #Grasshopper.
I wash all clothes by hand and hang dry to stay fit.
@bravewave2084 That is beautiful. I just read a story about an early pioneer woman at the Grand Canyon. She had to travel down what is now bright angel trail to the Colorado River (11 miles) to do laundry. She would camp overnight then carry the laundry back up to the rim the next day. I bet she was fit!
Indeed, amigo. Humanity has chopped wood and carry water for milenia. You are a couple of years younger than I am, and two things have brought me where I am: physical labor, and the knowledge that it is easier to save a dollar than it is to make 1.5 dollars plus sales tax to spend it. I grew up in the States, Long Island, NY, Alva, Oklahoma college, and SDSU California until 1995. Then I moved to New Zealand, after 2 decades to Perú, where I was born, to start a Renewable Energy Biz, and now looking to sell it and return to NZ in the next couple of years.
That Arizona sky is deep within my mind; I have Friends in Holbruck, AZ. and Tucson, AZ. All the best to You and your loved ones in that neautifull land!!
@RobertojavierSilvaharth-ub3pz thank you. NZ has some spectacular geography too. Nice to see someone on the other side of the planet very like-minded. Like the similarity of ancestral pueblans making circular sand painting almost the same as the ones in Tibet even though the cultures never knew of the existence of the other. Like the circle. It's a shared experience. The sun and moon are round. Good luck. You are creating heaven on earth. Right now. Why wait till we die?
I am 89 and am an Aircraft and Engine Mechanic, working 4 10 hour shifts. Never been a smoker,little alcohol. I ram 40K races until I was 75. God has been good to me.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story! It's amazing to hear how active and dedicated you have been throughout your life. Your journey is a testament to the strength and perseverance emphasized in Buddhist teachings. May you continue to enjoy good health and happiness.
You absolutely contributed hugely to your own excellent health and cognitive and physical high abilities. Proud of you! 74 year old Kiwi pre-school teacher still teaching. 💙👏🏼
@lindamckenzie4543 Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring story! It's truly wonderful to see how dedication and mindfulness, as emphasized in Buddhist teachings, can lead to such excellent health and abilities. Keep shining and making a difference! 💙👏🏼
God helps those who help themselves.

@@wendyantoniadis2404 I have children and grandchildren but they live very far from me. I communicate with them by Net.
When your life is built on "the rock" it will stand the test of time. May God continue to bless you. ✝️

No 9 is the most important!
@@dharmapola10038 out of 9 is not so bad.
Thanks for sparing me the time I would have spent on listening to this novel
HI THERE, I'M 81,LOVE LIVING ALONE, MY PHySICAL ISSUE ARE MINIMAL, I WALK SLOW, I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE ONLY WHEN I ALLOW DUMB SHIT AND PEOPLE GET TO ME ,OTHERWISE, I ENJOY the BEST OF OLD AGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story! It’s wonderful to hear that you’re enjoying the best of old age. According to Buddhist teachings, maintaining inner peace and mindfulness can significantly impact our well-being. Keep embracing positivity and living life to the fullest!
True.
I just turned 80 and I am happier now than in any period in my life despite facing some serious challenges. I would add that seeing the humor in life can lower your blood pressure as well as lifting your spirits. Remember we are all headed to that one way exit door, but what we do in the meantime is very important.
.
If nature did not make it then don’t take it. At 82 a beekeeper for nearly 50 years which gives me the nectar of the gods,fresh air, exercise,hobbies, friendships,helping others. It gives me a reason to live a full life
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story! It's wonderful to hear how beekeeping and living close to nature have enriched your life. Your dedication and the benefits you've reaped align beautifully with Buddhist teachings on finding joy and purpose in simple, mindful activities. Keep thriving and enjoying your full life!
My motto: I'd rather take something made "from" a plant than something made "in" a plant.
Hey I'm 71 and I'm also a beekeeper. Love it.
👍🏼💚😁

Music is wonderful for your life and health and mood. The cello is a gorgeous instrument. Great that you've taken it up.
I am 73 and saw your comment. I admire you for what you have done. I love fishing and work in a sporting goods store and love to teach beginners the sport. I play the guitar and piano and try to imitate all times of music. I can’t do everything I used to but do my best. God Bless you.
I am 79 years old..my motto is on every birthday that I have only 30 years left to go. I have been telling myself this since my 60th birthday. A heart attack at 68 caused my to falter a bit but triggered a rebirth!

i'm 77 and have been obsessed with drawing and painting since I was 4 yrs. old, I have no cell phone, TV, microwave, or even air conditioning, less is more. the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are My source of divine wisdom.
I turned 75 today. At 60 years old I hand cleared a good 1 acre of the 3acres I live on, with a pick ax and hand saw, I didn't have a chainsaw of come a long at the time.Laid out and poured by hand the pier blocks for my house. I snare wild pigs on my property that tear up my yard. Planted all of my fruit trees and propagate them to give to friends and sell. Garden, still cut and split wood, take care of my chickens, 5 cats and 2 year old Belgian Malinois. I refuse to take the medicine that when prescribed will surely lead to more zero health issues for if you're not sick today's doctors won't have a job!! I still like to learn anything that I can. I have always lived alone and have never had a family.
Wow.. Fantastic.. Congratulations.. At 72, and on my own,I can genuinely appreciate your achievement.. 👍🏼🥳
Seems n sounds so great! God bless forever!

Your views have made my day and I will keep working on positive activities to enhance my life moving forward.

I'm in a constant state of learning from everything I do.
Life is great!
I truly enjoy watching the video I am 86and am engaging in some of the ideas presented.
Thank you. I enjoy watching.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's wonderful to hear that you are engaging with the ideas presented in the video. Your commitment and involvement are truly inspiring. How have Buddhist teachings influenced your daily life at 86? We'd love to hear more from you and encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts and experiences with us!
73 and solidly possessing the first eight traits. Not having a really sense of purpose is nothing new for me however. I find joy in looking after animals, and finding someone worthy of a compliment. Fabricating mechanical equipment keeps me busy, and I ride a bicycle to stay fit. I volunteer at the local Elks club which covers several of the items listed here. Thanks for posting...always good to keep these things in mind.
Great! "The quest for excellence must be a never-ending journey"
Thank you! Absolutely, striving for excellence is indeed a lifelong journey. Appreciate your kind words and support! 🙏
so is listening to the video.
I am 73yrs old in gòod heàlth widow for three yrs now independant looking very good for my age thank god for my life.
Thank you for sharing your story! It's wonderful to hear that you are in good health and staying independent. Your positive outlook is truly inspiring. Keep cherishing every moment, and may you continue to be blessed with good health and happiness. 🙏🌟
My mother would tell me " Never grow up, and You'll never grow old." I Love life!! I still sew for other people. I love to dance around in the living room! I love to read novels and poetry. Many, many hobbies. I'm 80 years old, and I never intend to grow old. I will never release my car keys, any time soon. Let's just grow old together. Also I still handle my finances. *I'm Elaine * ❤❤ I am also a retired Geriatrics Nurse of 40 years. I watched the aging process and thinking to myself. "I can do this!!! Retired 8 years now, and thinking about doing some part-time nursing. ❤
Very true, thank you for this very important message. I will certainly share it with my elderly sisters my age. I am 78 years old. Thankyou once again and may God bless you❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that the video resonated with you. It's wonderful that you plan to share these Buddhist teachings with your sisters. May you continue to find wisdom and peace in your journey. Blessings to you too! 🙏❤
I am 95 and in good health, thank you God. I take no prescription drugs and I am sure that is why I am still healthy. I can still take care of my daily chores, dishes, laundry and self care. How lucky is that, with God help.
I am 82 and still live on my own I do what ever I need to do , the only thing that slows me down is diabetes which as stopped me from walking to far without a rest , but I still fix my own meals do my own shopping and do most things I have always done .
I'm 90 years Am so Happy Love every one 😮 always never care wat they think proud I ve pray to God Thank Jesus every day for letting me make it for another day in Jesus Name
I thank God every day I'm 82 and still working 24/7 every other week
I found the video very inspiring. I was happy that I have been living 65 to 70 percent of the Nine Gems advices this video explains. I loved this video. It gave an assurance that I am living my life well, secondly the video helped me to reinvent my self and readjust or correct certain flaws in myself, This vide, more than anything gave joy.

Thank you, Irene, for sharing your inspiring routine! It's wonderful to hear how you breathe in happiness and embrace self-love, even while managing illnesses. Your approach truly embodies the essence of Buddhist teachings. How do you find the balance between taking care of yourself and enjoying your hobbies? We’d love to hear more from you and encourage others to share their experiences as well. Keep shining!
Good message of truth, I am living example. The younger generation should learn these things at an early age and carry throughout your life.
⚔️cont…….that was a few yrs ago. I’m retired for 15 yrs. I’m driven either way the same energy I had them, and before, because of the excitement of the next synapses expectation, to light up each time I learn something new. Spark in the dark occurs when I have a project on the go; to complete it, by getting everything it needs to be completed then to my next one I start🛡️
Thank you for sharing your inspiring journey! It's wonderful to hear that you maintain the same energy and excitement for learning new things even after retirement. Your passion for projects and continuous growth truly reflects the teachings we discuss. Keep shining your light! 🌟
Philosophy of Change
Change brings pain-again and again.
Pain brings suffering-uttering, muttering
Suffering brings tolerance-with much endurance.
Tolerance brings thinking-and good ideas linking.
Thinking brings knowledge-saves going to college.
Knowledge brings understanding-sensibility expanding.
Understanding brings wisdom-and where it comes from.
And wisdom makes life bearable-happily declarable!
Let's see what I can still do- 1) My mind is sharp and I can see through people's tricks /BS 2) My body is in somewhat good shape- I care for my daily needs, I cannot run a mile anymore. I can still walk the mile. I cannot ride a bicycle anymore. I can still dance and enjoy my life. 3) I have hobbies and my life is never boring. 4) My favorite hobby is building and designing doll houses. 5) I constantly read and am a continual learner. I am very curious about the world in which we live. I always have my grandsons explain things to me I do not understand so I can learn. - Adaptation to learning. 6) Financial stability- this is important for all regardless of our age. "A simple life brings peace." 7) Broad minded heart 8) Social connections- I have a network of family and friends and communicate peacefully with them. 9) I still drive and take myself to the grocery store or library. Let's see if I live to be 100 years old. I will let you know in thirty years. Thanks for this journey of wisdom.
Something else - avoid words and other forms of noise. Seek silence. Most of us use words most of the time to delude ourselves.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Indeed, seeking silence and reducing noise is a valuable practice in Buddhist teachings. It's amazing how tranquility can lead to deeper self-awareness and peace. How have you found incorporating silence into your daily life beneficial? We'd love to hear more from you and continue this insightful discussion!
Agreed. I prefer quiet. I never play the radio when driving or working at home. I prefer the sounds of nature such as sailing or walking in the woods. I prefer woodworking with Japanese hand tools instead of power tools. I also like working out with my Yamaha Genos music arranger which is a real handful. Never look back because something might be gaining on you!
@fredh999harris8 Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Embracing the quiet and connecting with nature are indeed wonderful practices. Your approach to woodworking and music reflects a mindful way of living. As you mentioned, staying present and not looking back aligns well with Buddhist teachings. Keep enjoying your peaceful journey!
I'm near to 74th year of my journey here on earth and very grateful of what the Lord has done in the past present and in the future...in joy and in pain.Trying to have all the 10.
Both my husband and I are over ninety and we share your philosophy totally! God is good and we are blessed!🙏🏻
I am 78 and ride a bike (semi-hard longer rides) and use a gym alternatively in cold weather. I live alone, am a veteran, and am very cautious of the medicines I take. As if we can trust doctors today? I am out of debt and do most things alone. I am after learning new things. I own my house and do all the necessary things myself but must have some things done. I watch EDUCATIONAL TV as we can and must keep on learning. And view informative videos. I plan on riding my bikes as long as I can---100 would work except with less miles and intensity. I am out of debt and have no children (or wife.)
At 73 I am grateful & well- blessed being strong, in good shape, doing daily exercise, eating balance balance diet, always tried getting rid of stress & manage my emotions. Moreso no other health issues but at times vertigo. Vitamins are my only daily maintenance. Good health is wealth, plus peace of mind made me richer & wiser. 🌠🥰
Well …..Hello …Fellow ,…..Rare Gems 💎 🇺🇸🎵💕🙏…..I just turned 70 yrs young,….Retired from Nursing…since 2020…as One can IMAGINE ‼️DURING AN EPIC TIME OF COVID‼️…….Since there was No Cure …..and I,was still in my 60’s …..it was suggested I retire,….No one wants to die …like what I had witnessed 100’s of times,…Thank the Lord I Never got it!!!!!……. So thank you Fellow Rare 💎 GEMS!!!….I feel Honored ……I send my Love to All 🎉❤🇺🇸🙏💕🎼
Be positive and happy.. I am moving house at 70 after 22 years in an amazing home and garden and lots of friends.. it’s like a new adventure.. never give up .. fortune favours the brave!!!! Remember the good things and move on quickly.. for most people , they can deal with one problem, but when there is more than that they become anxious and confused… never stress. Stop for a minute and regain your thoughts.. have a great life because it gets better every day…
. . . this is truly beautiful...I wish I could "kind of translate" it into "teenage" so my Precious grandchildren can benefit from it today & not have to wait til their later years to be this blessed & Joy-filled... 🥰
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's wonderful to hear that you want to share these teachings with your grandchildren. The wisdom in Buddhist teachings can truly benefit people of all ages. Perhaps you can simplify the concepts and relate them to their everyday experiences. Wishing you and your precious grandchildren joy and blessings! 🥰
Yes!
I have never heard any better advice
#1, Even as older I get, I've finally realized that being civil in all circumstances is ultimately the true goal of life's challenges...❤
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for expanding out all the things I’ve tried to live by since I became an adult. One doesn’t just magically adopt 38:08 these attributes when one realizes they are at an “0ld” age. I’m 78 and everyday my feet hit the floor Ill make a concentrated effort at another go of it🙌
I Will be in my 70's next year and I just got back from the beach after walking a few kilómeters, a frequent routine of mine. I can Say that I've checked the mayority of práctices within your magnificent video. I lack the social aspect and my family is far away, but I am not lonely. As I tell the few Friends that I have, I like my solitude and although I am alone, I am not lonely. In the next few years, I will be back with my sons and their families, and I will start the last state of my life, where I will fullfill the last two aspectos considered in your presentation. I Will be in the service of others and will become a stalwart for my grand children and my sons on how to live a happy, fullfilling life!!

My kids constantly say Mom, are you ever going to act your age? And I laugh and say how am I supposed to act I've never been this age before, lol

Yes

Yes.
I am about to become ninety years and in good health allowing me to take care of myself and still take great pleasure in life. Our world is complex and filled with many problems which is sad as I can't come up with solutions. My four children, all over sixty years, give me great pleasure and make me proud. I enjoyed your video and come up to your standards very well although I could improve. Thanks for the Buddhist viewpoint, I know little about that religion but plan on reading more about it. Mary Ann
I'm 75 (76 in August). I live alone but am in good health. I do all the things in your video and still work with my own business in electronics and software, designing and developing hi-tech instruments for healing using frequency. It keeps me fit and free from illnesses and the big C. Still got plans for the next 25 years. Subscribed.
Good advice to a fair percent..
Good teachings!
Amen !!
