"Life is Easy"

203,798 views

"Life is easy" says Jon Jandai. "Why do we have to make it so difficult?" After pursuing "success" in Bangkok for several years, Jo dropped out of university to return to village life. There, he went back to the life he knew as a child, working 2 months of the year to grow rice (with an additional 15 minutes a day to grow vegetables), dug a couple of fish ponds, built his own homes using earthen bricks, and gave up buying clothes (he has so many clothes from friends and visitors that he has to give them away). Jo contends that to be happy, we cannot just rely on money; we have to reconnect with each other.

This video reminds me that Lifeis too simple for complicated minds . We often don’t think work can be worthwhile unless it’s hard . We don’t value what the earth gives us for free! Once we realise that gain more from that which we let go off that that which we cling to we find the space to grow . Simplicity is freedom .

so deeping thoughts, very simple, like about Buddhist teachings.
If you think life is hard, it is very hard and if you think life is easy it is very easy. It depend on yourself

Profound, lucid and yet deceptively simple.... truly exemplifies simple living and high thinking. Human race is most uncivilized at the height of its civilization if majority have no access to basic needs like fresh drinking water, food, shelter and medicine. What is the use of so called development if a big population of humans have to sleep hungry and die as he cannot afford a simple medicine. The talk shook up my being as I am the part of that group of humans who hold up necessities and in a way responsible for another group of humans who do have the basic needs... how can I help to correct this is????

I will try to be a normal person and live a simple and easy life. Everything starts with the change of my mind.

1. food
2. clothes
3. shelter
4. medicine

corporations & capitalism are the enemies
of this easy life. they exist to divide
our minds and bodies from this present
reality. Jon Jandai thank you for reminding
us of our eartly origins!
