Accepting my failure’s as part of my whole self was difficult at first. The shame was overwhelming until I realized that without the failure I wouldn’t have the knowledge of it. Which helps me focus on positive and productive living. LOL, I still trip over my shame occasionally and am glad to have the ego check😊
I tried this and present moment meditation. Present moment meditation worked better for me. So I recommend trying both and stick to the one which works for you.
Thanks for keep posting these wonderful videos.. but I wonder if there is more teaching about Tantra from Rinpoche? This particular video seem like the introduction about Tantra to me. Thank u!
Right, but HOW do we turn kleshas into support for compassion, wisdom , etc.? I don't think I heard anything about how to make this transformation and I could greatly benefit from that instruction, if anyone wants to elaborate on Rinpoche's words. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, is it possible to elaborate a bit more on the "turning a problem into a solution", for example when the ego is depressed it is not easy to come out of it, so how cane we turn that depression into a solution, Thank you, Namaste
The problem is an opportunity. If you notice a disturbing, depressive state of mind, you may become sensitive to this feeling like an alarm clock or wake up call - every time you feel sad or have any mental activity, understand that it is not you. Activate Awareness and free yourself from the false self. You are not body, either mind.
If you are aware that you are in pain, you are not the pain. Observe it. You are in a body that can experience pain, but you are not consumed by it because you are viewing it from a distance. Emotions are temporary states that pass like waves in an ocean. Being aware of emotions also reminds us how wonderful it is to be able to feel and have senses and teaches us humility.
He is right, as a tantric hindu in india, tantra here is prevalent even today. There are 4 types of tantra 1:- Chini Tantra ( Chinese tantra ) 2:- Kalika tantra ( tantra of goddess kalika ) 3:- Sri tantra ( Vaishnavite tantra ) 4:- Bajrajan Tantra ( Vajrayana Tantra ) The main focus of every everyone of these is self liberation and to make people happy. Though these can be harmful like Vashikaran Vidya ( Hypnotism ) Uchatanā ( To get out anyone out of their way ) Maran ( TO cause de@th of someone ) Stubhan ( to stop fire in anyone's house ) Though this can be of good use. A nepali sage lived in my house and practiced evil tantra..... One day he was found k*lled my his own son and after that he committed s*icide.he even also k*lled 4 people with Maran vidya ( in bajrajan tantra ) and thus he got the results. Follow path of good and you will be good. Jai ma Kalika.

But what is Tantra? I am using your teaching to "pay attention to the breath" every day and increasing my Awareness. But What is the link to "Tantra"? Thank you
@@trillionmindfulintentions2132 Is your obvious reading disability the reason you think you need to teach basics to someone who has spent decades studying these matters ?
With all due respect, but I disagree with almost everything Rinpoche says here. The elaborate techniques of Tantra are exactly what is mostly useless and even inapplicable in our times, unless 1) your life is supported by rich donors *and* 2) you have some exceptional skill _(rtsal)_ . 99% of the tantra aficionados in the west would be much, much better off and their meditation would be far, far more effective if they had a good grounding in Thai or Burmese style Vipassana and joined that later with Ramana Maharshi's vichara and/or Douglas Harding's headless way. IMO, *one* way of knowing that Tantra is not for you, at least for the time being, is if you had been trying to visualize a deity _(regardless of _*_which_*_ deity)_ for a year or two according to instructions, and you still cannot get a _profound_ concentration by generating a clear idea of the deity. How do you know that ? It should be obvious that the concentration is so pleasant that you do not want to stop the session because *real concentration is pleasant !* You will be able to sit there _for hours_ with that ever clearer, stable and detailed visualization and time flies by ! If you had been trying at this for a number of years and this still doesn't happen, well go and learn some basic meditation instead. We know of many, many even _lay_ practitioners, not to speak of the monks, in Thailand who can just sit down, go into samadhi with "ordinary" Vipassana, sit there for 12 hours and get up _refreshed_ thinking it was a couple of minutes perhaps. I am not discussing here whether samadhi in itself is liberating, but if western students of tantra can't do that with their tantric methods then it follows that what Rinpoche says here is baseless and in fact false. Of course, what he says is _theoretically_ true. But 1. that approach can be very well incorporated in ordinary Vipassana and 2. it will not be applicable for anyone who cannot master visualization as described above. You might say that the teachings of self-liberation do not necessarily involve "vajrayana with form". Well, but if one restricts oneself to the methods of self-liberation without the tantric elaborations then these are simply a footnote to and advanced stages of Vipassana or the methods of Advaita Vedanta.
@@Sh0n0 The issue here is not with his authentic expertise but with his assessment of the nature of our times, the modern mind and its conditions. There is overwhelming evidence that the leaders of tibetan culture haven't got much of a clue regarding that. Instead of using foul language, perhaps you should actually read what I wrote above. For instance, no matter how much experience a realizer has, that doesn't trump the actual experience a modern mind has with his methods. He can repeat a gazillion times that "this method is particularly useful for these times" _(frankly they all repeat that because it is written in their texts, just like the Shambala war is going to be fought with bows and arrows and that the lunar eclipse happens because Rahula swallows the moon)_ but that doesn't change the actual experience of westerners that this simply isn't true. It is a fact that outside the exceptions mentioned in the OP almost all the western minds just cannot bring these methods to an authentic meditation. It ends up being a really quite pathetic kind of folklore that isn't even their own, usually a kind of hypnotic babbling, but not a meditation, the union of shamata and vipashyana it _has_ to be to be considered buddhist meditation. In contrast, the simple methods are very accessible to the western mind, adaptable to their living situations and they work ! There is zero authority Rinpoche has over this fact, even if he is a Buddha.
I think you're just confounding yourself with this. Aren't samatha and Vipassana part of tantric buddhism too? And i sort of understand the legitimacy of the argument that you're making, but also think there is contradiction in it. Is the point of meditation to experience joy? Is Vipassana simply about getting comfortable?

That's shadow therapy, not tantra.

Lovely explanations.The keyword is....impactful.Tq Master.
I wonder if the "fear of missing out" is a modern world/time emotion? Hopefully tantra will help with this too.

Only he is showing true liberation with simply
To suffer willingly. To make the pain become the fuel for ur awareness.

You will be led on an endless diversion unless you belong to the _exceptional_ spiritual talents.
You should def go for it.
I did and I strongly un-recommend it, especially for those who like the idea. Most of them don't have the necessary rtsal.

This would be easy to explain if you used ordinary vipassana and ignore tantra.
