Q: I am learning from buddhism to not allow circumstances to alter my emotions. Because happiness comes from within and not from external things. I am having some trouble though. Sometimes I am able to allow things to happen and they would normally make me scared to feel hurt and I don't feel that way anymore. The trouble I am having is, if someone close to me says something that hurts me, i take it to heart and i get sad and then i feel really depressed, the other thing that happens, is if i am feeling like i don't have enough money to take care of things i start to get really depressed. Now I am working with the law of attraction, and it works really well for me, but I would like to improve it by not allowing money stuff to get to me. Does anyone who is practicing these methods have any advice for me or a good book that I could read? Thank you

hello!
i am really glad that you are trying to practice buddhist teachings,keep going and you will surely find good results.this whole thing about getting hurt often confuses most of us on the spiritual path,because it is a really very difficult to stay unruffled and practice equanimity,when some one close or otherwise says something to hurt you.what I would suggest is for you to use/channelise all these problems to turn even more to God.try talking to God about this problem.everyone has it in them to communicate in different ways and methods with God.try it and when he responds,you will be in bliss.complain to him,tell him,that your close friend or person or family member hurt you.in a few miutes,you will get an answer,if not in words,then in some kind of message that God will give you.the whole thing is to keep on being a good person that you already are!practice even more buddhism with sincerity,surrender to the buddha,his dharma and sangha,and remember to do some thing like sending love and good will and blessings,first to yourself,then to your close people,then to everyone.this way you will grow spiritually.be more loving,try your best to be a good listener,and do your daily duties so that no one will even have a chance to complain!be loving,cheerful all throughout your life.be nice to everyone etc.be a good strong loving link in buddhas' chain of love across the world!and remember,every single act of love or kind words or any kindness is not a waste.the other person will benefit from it.good luck!
