Loneliness strikes many people. They feel left out, lost, abandoned. There is no need for this. The best companion is the Buddha. Buddha Shakyamuni himself stated there is not a single atom that is not Buddha. Thinking this way is hugely beneficial. Beneficial for accumulating merits, for purification of negative karma especially purifying impure mind and impure projections and for being protected with the guidance of the Triple Gem. By merely thinking and being reminded of the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha will clear all obstacles, including harms from human, non humans, spirits. To practice the good heart and Dharma purely, there are 2 causes - seeing the true nature of our samsaric existence and the sufferings of the 6 realms and understanding how the precious human rebirth can be used to overcome samsara.

The precious human life is the supreme support or vessel for the practice of the Buddhist teachings. Such persons diligently apply themselves to hearing the doctrine, and to reflection and meditation upon it, subduing well their own minds, And they energetically bring others to the correct path. The victors have commended and praised this life as sublime

The Need to Grasp the Essence of Life with the
Support of the Doctrine of Path and Result [C]
Like returning empty-handed from an isle of jewels,
To waste this free and fully endowed life in meaningless acts is
unconscionable.
Since time immemorial, sufferings of existence have fallen like rain,
The fault of not reflecting on the difficulty of attaining this human
life.
Upon the attainment of the precious human body
Depends the support for the doctrine of the lesser and great ways,
discourses and mantra;
And the results of the paths of hearers, solitary sages, arhats, the
victors’ heirs, and sublime victors.
Therefore, grasp the essence of this life and always meditate
joyously.
