Everything Happens for a Reason | Buddhist Wisdom Explained

Why do bad things happen? Why this loss, this heartbreak, this failure? 😔

We often tell ourselves: “Everything happens for a reason.” A divine plan, a lesson from the universe, karma teaching us something… It feels comforting in the moment.

But what if Buddhism offers a deeper, more liberating truth—one that doesn’t rely on cosmic justification for our pain?

In this video, we dive into the real Buddhist perspective on “everything happens for a reason”:

Dependent Origination (Pratītyasamutpāda): No grand cosmic script—just causes and conditions
The Two Arrows: Pain is inevitable… but the extra suffering we pile on ourselves? Completely optional
Zen master Hakuin’s radical response: “Is that so?” — pure acceptance without mental stories
How to stop asking “Why me?” and start asking “What will I create from this?”

I share a personal story of when my channel nearly collapsed and how shifting from “cosmic reason” to “what do I build next?” changed everything.

If you’re going through a tough time right now, this might help you move from searching for meaning… to actively creating it.
