Although I didn’t deliberately enroll in the course to get over my ex, it indirectly helped me deal with the breakup.
In the Mind and Life dialogues, the Dalai Lama refers to Buddhism as “the science of the mind.”
I couldn’t agree more.
From my own experience, Buddhism helps me deal with day-to-day problems. The Buddhist teachings don’t directly discuss our intimate problems; however, the philosophy can be applied in every area of our lives.
The reason why I seek advice from Buddhism is the approach to tackling the problems our minds face.
