How to Deal with Criticism | A Monk's Perspective

In this day and age, it's easy to be judged and criticized by others due to how fast and accessible information is available. This act of being criticized can impact people in negative ways. In this video, I wanted to share two personal examples of criticism that I personally experienced and an alternative perspective on how to handle and approach criticism. If you ever felt criticized or judged by others, I hope this video provides you with some new tools. Enjoy! #monk #monks #buddhism
