Thank you for this! I've always found myself hyper aware of my mental illnesses i.e. agoraphobia, acute anxiety and generalized persistent anxiety, ptsd/trauma and adhd. This brings so much understanding to why my mind does this, I always thought it was my mind trying to cope and now I know why!!
When he dropped the beads, it was very powerful because I noticed my panic, and then not immediately going to pick it up was a learning moment for me. Super powerful practice for the beautiful mind.
3 steps of practice to connect with awareness: 3:48 use an object/support 6:22 meditate everywhere, anytime, with anything 9:19 open awareness meditation
I was lucky enough to meet Rinpoche just when he emerged from his wandering retreat In Sherabling monastery. His presence was incredibly powerful. He is a totally enlightened being but on top of that he is a humble decent man. No airs or graces about him, he genuinely wants the best for everyone he meets.
He shares the deepest wisdom to us as if he tells us a story about how he went to Wall Mart to buy a washing machine. It is so energizing, so enjoyable for me to listen to him. He is a main influence on me since 10 years. Thank you Rinpoche 🙏🏻
What a great Master, he is the reason why I'm meditating. Since i said i wanna do something against my bad thoughts, depressed World, a stranger in my Body, not calculateable happenings in and outside, from horror to horror, anxiety ruled mind, panic by panic, felt lost in my borderless Imagination of hopelessness. Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche gave me the courage. Just to sit down and to be with it, to stay friendly and to let it be as it is and now after 2 years. Meditating is a passion for me and these days are history. Now i'm living and loving the here and now. @all stay aware and keep care on oneself cultivate loving kindeness and compassion within and outer your world. 🧘
GOOD JOB, Ted talk!!! Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is such a gem to this world. Putting him on here, to be able to reach millions with his enlightened wisdom, you’ve created such good karma by spreading the dharma. ♥️
it's been more than a year since I first watched this, nearly all my bad habits and anything slightly toxic that I'd do have been utterly destroyed LMAO. goated advice from this humble soul.
It's so beautiful that these monks come and teach us so many things and take out from our huge burdens and horrors without expecting anything in return always sweet and kind they give me the true essence of humanity ❤️ ❤❤
Mediation to calm the mind and be aware of awareness is the key to success in all areas of life. Thank you for this great talk! (and spreading awareness 💛)
what wise man! simple talk but with huge wisdom. from the time i start to mediation, i always wants to pursue joy and relax，and try to avoid any negative thoughts, now i realized, that accepting anything is the real wisdom.
there's a book called whispers of manifestation on borlest , and it talks about how using some secret tehniques you can attract almost everything in life it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal
Not going to lie, I didn't know that pizza and meditation could go together. Life changing. Your eloquent rendering of meditation as a simple act of being present - seeing, hearing, feeling - is as refreshing as it is profound. It reminds us that the essence of meditation is not to silence the mind, but rather to tune in to the orchestra of our thoughts, feelings, and sensations, without trying to conduct or control them. I particularly resonate with your analogy of awareness being like the sky, ever-present and unchanging, while our thoughts and emotions are like transient storms. It echoes what I often discuss on my channel about the benefits of daily mindfulness, the practice of deliberately paying attention to our thoughts and feelings without judgement. Just as you said, it's not about stopping our thoughts or achieving a state of eternal bliss, but about recognizing and accepting our mental states as they are.
Meditation is its own reward it allows one to be at peace with their thoughts and allows them to think rationally, I do do this and it helps me concentrate on my goals thanks Yongey
Mingyur Rinpoche has been my meditation teacher for more than 10 years now, but every time I listen to him, even the most simplest things always sound new and full of valuable teachings.
amazing, so deep, is presented in simple explanation... so true... now so many meditation masters but live in lavish life, hopefully they too learn to let go their egos...
The last part of his open meditation awareness is really enlightened, seriously diff to explain but has full potential to transform one self like Buddha 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you 💐
@@uncomfortabletruths7990 - Right from Veda to Upanishad’s and Gita it has been mentioned that self is pure awareness bliss. You are not mind your are not body you are not emotions but pure awareness or complete state of witness. It is due to maya or error or lack of awareness this realization is missing. But with this practice e played at the end you are trying to be experiencing the state of witnessing. Now with more such practice the intellectual enlightenment transformed to experiential enlightenment changing the entire life. Yogis remain in full bliss state and gains power to deal with any situation no matter it is inhuman.
I came to know Yongey in 2020 during covid19 pandemic through UA-cam, that was my first encounter of meditation. since then I have been practicing meditation and the benefits are so priceless. I'm more aware of myself which gives me space before I respond so I can decide what wise actions to take. Thank you so much Yongey and You Tube.
Love the way he puts his word so simple and beautiful - Our mind are like blue sky that are vast and beautiful. panics and thoughts are like a cloud to the sky. It doesn’t matter what or how many clouds comes and goes for sky. Its on you that need to connect that blue vast sky with those clouds. Be awareness, be presence. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@Otiscogh Ive noticed. Crazy, i usually don’t even entertain these type of comments but when i first saw this comment, i thought about actually getting the book 😂😂😂
When I watched this video I got to know that meditation can only help to communicate with my personal time to communicate with my inner body It collects my negativeness and gives refreshment
great to see him on TED!! ive been watching and reading about YMR for around 2 or 3 years. many people claim they will help you on the internet, but they are full of bs. THIS is the only person who has actually changed my life for the better. thank u so much mr yongey mingyur rinpoche
I went on a ten-day meditation retreat taught by this guy. Good stuff! But then I went on a retreat taught by a westerner on the topic of :open Awareness" (which I did not know until just now was a Tibetan practice. It has been my experience that when Tibetans teach Tibetan Buddhism, it sounds very grounded and sensible, like this guy. But when westerners try to teach it, it sounds totally out there. This retriet was no exception. They kept saying "Sit but don't focus on any one thing" or "go outside and walk slowly back and forth, but don't be focused when you do it." This, of course, was the opposite of everything else3 I had been taught. Well, I don't know if this was their intention, and I don't think it was, but my mind rebelled by giving me strong, focused meditations. If they had told me to have strong, focused meditations, I probably would not have had so many of them.
It makes me happy seeing how humanity is collectively waking up, we must not use this for selfish gains but we must be diligent in helping others, otherwise we are like robbers
It's incredible how tapping into our own consciousness can bring so much clarity and transformation to our lives. The practical tips and insights shared here are invaluable. Thank you for sharing this enlightening content!
I love this guy and would love to meet him. So down to earth, funny and direct. Puts you in touch with the reality of meditation as what you are as opposed to something you do. People try to approach meditation like everything else, with mental effort and trying to analyse and make sense of it conceptually. It’s simply just being aware of experience as it is, that’s it, like his opening pointers. Read his book ‘in love with the world’. He’s definitely been through it. 🙏🏻
Dandapani, this is a profound exploration of the mind's complexities. Your insights are like a breath of fresh air in the age of distraction. Lisa Haisha, an incredible life coach truly appreciate the depth of your understanding during our recent retreat she really appreciate your greatness. Your ability to dissect and address this common challenge is commendable, and I'm grateful for the clarity you bring to the topic.
Thank you for your wisdom Yongey. I am new at this and I am committed to find the truth. It has not been easy, but I am happy with the journey I am having. I wish you all a life full of love, abundance and awareness.
I manage to completely quiet my thoughts and that’s how I CONNECTED with awareness. Very difficult to accomplish but I did! Then immediately after that I had an awaking that to this day change my life.
I am a fan of your channel❤I am from lebanon, a country of diversity and highly educated people where most just want to live in peace and care about their loved ones and are neutral about politics...plz support us..we are being attacked with no mercy
I'm not sure how many people in the audience actually got what he was talking about, but that 2nd step where you "watch" the river, mountain, panic, etc is metacognitive awareness which is a fairly advance meditative state where you can watch your thoughts etc arise and pass in quick successions without engaging in them.
This video is really practical. I would show it to people who are struggling with meditation and consciousness. Internal equilibrium is something I personally struggle with on a daily basis. Through meditation I can attune to higher frequencies and this sacred space of tranquility. Thank you ✨
Alan Watts has an excellent discussion of how to enter the meditative state by listening - I use it regularly as some have put it on UA-cam with different music. I tried so many techniques with varying degrees of "success" but this instruction to use the ears to connect with awareness is damn near foolproof.
This man is the embodiment of so many virtues but what strikes me most is his *pure authenticity.* I'm not sure I've ever seen someone on the TED Stage with less ego. Even among the blind, the maimed and those with horrendously severe (or terminal) phisiological disorders thst have spoken with powerful effect on overcoming adversity. There's something alien about him. He makes me laugh every time I see him. Even when he's almost certainly not intending to be funny. Initially, I thought "he reminds me of a human Yoda." I suppose because he has both the visceral presence of wisdom and that characteristic vocal register shift between high and low tones so common in Nepalese/Tibetan monks. Then I realized it was something far more remarkable. I was fortunate enough to go on a safari some years ago and its an experience that *never* leaves you. I was actually not all that excited to go as I thought "I can see all these animals at the San Diego Zoo if I want or see them in an unprecedented up close way on the Animal Planet Series." Yet, when you're in an open air vehicle within feet (sometimes inches) of lions, leopards, elephant, cape Buffalo, giraffe and all the other fauna, the effect is beyond words but magical, mesmerizing and spellbinding come close. To see the behavioral differences between animals in their natural habitats versus those in artificial environmental enclosures or cages at zoos is to witness one of the most stark contrasts in the behavior of any living creatures including humans. Therefore, what occurred to me, the thing I found so "alien" about this man is that he is so devoid of ego and societal domestication, he is the perfect candidate by which we may juxtapose as entrenched members of society, a "free man." He lives amongt us, walks amongst us, but whilst we live in and believe in the absolute reality of our respective physical and mental "zoos," (or physical and mental artificial environmental enclosures) he in contrast lives in the "natural habitat" or the wild and is therefore free. Imagine being catapulted into international acclaim for writing your story, earning a substantial sum from those books, then habing the wisdom to recognize the emergence of what was to him somewhat of a foreign entity, the tell tale signs of rapidly growing ego. Then, after having gone from rags to riches (rags meaning Buddhist monks aren't exactly known for raking in high salaries...rather a room some meals and perhaps a stipend...but im not sure about that) to giving it all away to go live on the streets of India as a beggar. I studied abroad in India and I can tell you now, its just about the last place on Earth one would want to be compelled to beyond an active war zone. It's evident that that experience, of going through the experience of extreme food illness (which when *he* says he nearly died you better believe it) and came out the other end, without animosity or regret but all contrary virtues. Love for the mere joyful awareness of being alive. Love for the nearby trees, the passerbys, the interconnectedness of this living Earth, and that blue sky where he sees the limitless field of awareness reflected above as it is below. What an astonishing man!
I just got a notification that my history teacher added this video to her Google classroom so I am excited to see what is in store for me at school tomorrow morning! I love doing meditations at school
I've been trying to put this into such simple words. Thank you! I promise to try and water the seeds of awareness in myself everyday! Grace, Presence, kindness.
Wow it was interesting to hear his experience about his sensing of his body getting decayed during meditation. In Buddha teachings and guidelines to final goal which is eternal liberation, it is marked as one of levels/ states practitioners will experience which means also getting closer to that goal compared to normal people/ beings. I’m amazed and grateful. Also learnt some from this video. Thank you Master and Ted ❤
Being of service can and will make you happier and smarter and healthier... don't neglect your duty to your fellow human... always be nice and you will have a good life ..😇😇
I like this man. When the 2024 start, I feeling so sad because I have many questions in my life, like money, study, love, children, and lot of other things. So today I just think, maby meditation can help me? and then I find this video, wouderful, His speaking let me peace. I know his name now, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, 咏给.明就仁波切。Thank you.
a way to deliver this message that seemed on the tip of his tongue is that "we dont need to not think, ----- we just need to think and or focus on just one or a couple small things, like our breath and skin"

Perfect. This could not have come to me at a better time 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I remember this as a third person perspective
If you connect to this concept look into a technique (or way of understanding) called "Drig Drishya Viveka" from the Hindu school of Advaita Vedanta.
"be free, be present"
I wish all humanity could understand this.

I suppose because he has both the visceral presence of wisdom and that characteristic vocal register shift between high and low tones so common in Nepalese/Tibetan monks. Then I realized it was something far more remarkable. I was fortunate enough to go on a safari some years ago and its an experience that *never* leaves you. I was actually not all that excited to go as I thought "I can see all these animals at the San Diego Zoo if I want or see them in an unprecedented up close way on the Animal Planet Series." Yet, when you're in an open air vehicle within feet (sometimes inches) of lions, leopards, elephant, cape Buffalo, giraffe and all the other fauna, the effect is beyond words but magical, mesmerizing and spellbinding come close. To see the behavioral differences between animals in their natural habitats versus those in artificial environmental enclosures or cages at zoos is to witness one of the most stark contrasts in the behavior of any living creatures including humans. Therefore, what occurred to me, the thing I found so "alien" about this man is that he is so devoid of ego and societal domestication, he is the perfect candidate by which we may juxtapose as entrenched members of society, a "free man." He lives amongt us, walks amongst us, but whilst we live in and believe in the absolute reality of our respective physical and mental "zoos," (or physical and mental artificial environmental enclosures) he in contrast lives in the "natural habitat" or the wild and is therefore free.
Imagine being catapulted into international acclaim for writing your story, earning a substantial sum from those books, then habing the wisdom to recognize the emergence of what was to him somewhat of a foreign entity, the tell tale signs of rapidly growing ego. Then, after having gone from rags to riches (rags meaning Buddhist monks aren't exactly known for raking in high salaries...rather a room some meals and perhaps a stipend...but im not sure about that) to giving it all away to go live on the streets of India as a beggar. I studied abroad in India and I can tell you now, its just about the last place on Earth one would want to be compelled to beyond an active war zone.
It's evident that that experience, of going through the experience of extreme food illness (which when *he* says he nearly died you better believe it) and came out the other end, without animosity or regret but all contrary virtues. Love for the mere joyful awareness of being alive. Love for the nearby trees, the passerbys, the interconnectedness of this living Earth, and that blue sky where he sees the limitless field of awareness reflected above as it is below.
What an astonishing man!
He is super genuine about the practice. A fresh talk aboutthe practice.
Seeing him on TED Talks after so many years of studying to become qualified for university is like seeing an old friend. Absolutely amazing.
Every time I watch your videos, I learn something new. Keep up the amazing work!
Ohh my godness my favourite monk on the stage of TED X
I always love to spread Buddhism and my favourite monk yongey Mingyur Rinpoche sir ❤
I just got a notification that my history teacher added this video to her Google classroom so I am excited to see what is in store for me at school tomorrow morning! I love doing meditations at school
I've been trying to put this into such simple words. Thank you! I promise to try and water the seeds of awareness in myself everyday! Grace, Presence, kindness.
Blessings
I'm mindblown!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Meditation is simply ❤
Meditation is not ignorance it’s being present in the moment!
Wow it was interesting to hear his experience about his sensing of his body getting decayed during meditation. In Buddha teachings and guidelines to final goal which is eternal liberation, it is marked as one of levels/ states practitioners will experience which means also getting closer to that goal compared to normal people/ beings. I’m amazed and grateful. Also learnt some from this video. Thank you Master and Ted ❤
Being of service can and will make you happier and smarter and healthier... don't neglect your duty to your fellow human... always be nice and you will have a good life ..😇😇
I liked it especially the dramatic one!
This video is wonderful! I’m also looking for ways to share meaningful messages like this to spread more peace in life.
Thoughts support my meditation. They are my teacher. They are my friends 🙏🏻✨ Thank you for that ❤️
Just that sound that is awareness
So grateful to be able to catch this. Thank you!
I like this man. When the 2024 start, I feeling so sad because I have many questions in my life, like money, study, love, children, and lot of other things. So today I just think, maby meditation can help me? and then I find this video, wouderful, His speaking let me peace. I know his name now, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, 咏给.明就仁波切。Thank you.
a way to deliver this message that seemed on the tip of his tongue is that "we dont need to not think, ----- we just need to think and or focus on just one or a couple small things, like our breath and skin"
