Hi, I'm Claire, and I'm kind of a professional Buddhist. I want to share the knowledge and experience I've gained through practicing Buddhism since 1997, teaching meditation since 2004, and completing a PhD in Tibetan Buddhism at Rice University in 2015.
My videos are here to give you an easy way to start learning about the wisdom of the dharma and how to apply it in daily life. I'm interested in the basics of Buddhist belief, Tibetan teachings on rebirth (from the "Tibetan Book of the Dead" genre of teachings) and how they apply to transitions, and the hints Buddhist teachings offer as to the ultimate nature of our minds and reality.
As a friend of mine put it, I got the PhD so you don't have to. 😜

What is Buddhist Mindfulness? (I'm teaching a live course)

If you've ever wondered what makes mindfulness or meditation "Buddhist" vs. secular, here are a few answers. Plus I'll be teaching a live series on this starting Sept. 24, and everyone's invited! Mindfulness isn't just a buzzword; it's the practice of centering your mind on a focal point, recognizing when it strays, and gleaning insights from that process. But what sets Buddhist mindfulness apa...
Manifesting your desires & Buddhism: Do they go together? 🤔
มุมมอง 469ปีที่แล้ว

But then I realized that actually Buddhist teachings on karma tell us how to put in place the causes for getting what we want. Mind blown! Want to learn more about the basic teachings of Buddhism?

Thank you for mentioning our animals too

Thank you old soul. We all (especially in these shitty Kali Yuga times) need to bring our best boddhisattva blessings to this troubled Gaia. Bliss/Blessings ❤️❤️❤️

I mean this genuinely, what is your training? Are you self taught? (Not a condemnation or anything just earnest curiosity)
Thank you dearly for this. I joined in for my cat Petra who passed just over 3 weeks ago. And for the cats I knew at the shelter who passed, this year, Tekla, Benta, Giant and Camembert. May all beings Be Free from suffering.
Hello claire I would like to ask there was an actress that passed away i don't know her but i would like to do this for her i would like to ask may i.
Thank you. Recently lost my very beloved cat Zoe, so I did this for her tonight. ❤
What if we have to live in a nation destroyed by runaway capitalism and mass migration?
Hlo maam
Hi Claire thank you very much for this awesome tutorial about your shrine. The explanation of setting up the shrine was really interesting and helpful. Namaste Geertjan 🙏🏻
Great information. Thanks
It's OM MANI PADNE HUM.
I have a terrible voice for chatting (and singing). Used to be better
I am new to this I wear mine on my wrist it’s comfortable for me I can whip it out when I need it I would like to learn Buddha mantras. Where do you find teachers or how I’m really interested in a Buddhism practice
I like to ask myself, do I want to take ownership of that thought?
Thank you Claire. I sent this to a friend this morning, on the other side of the world, whose grandmother had just passed away peacefully at 98 years old. I also did the meditation myself on her behalf. It felt very beautiful. How lovely that, when death happens to another, we can actively help them towards the light and remind ourselves at this time, just as you say, that our infinite nature is one of light too. Bless you x

This was helpful last year I just lost my grandma on November. And I have been seeking to help her and make sure she is safe . Thank you🙏😩😊😯
If by manifesting, you are trying to attract something you want, doesn't that collide with the Buddhist principle of dethatching from the desires. Im just concerned that by practicing manifestation, its feeding a desire that I have and trying to materialise it. Your video was very informative and Ive had this question for a while so I just thought I'd ask it. Thank you!
Such a helpful video ❤
I'm starting my life as a buddhist due to anxiety. I have been meditating some but I havent even gotten my mala beads yet and I'm wanting the bodhi seed ones. I am also into guatama Buddha's teachings from Hinduism.
Great job thank you
What is it that’s real? What is the “something” your refer to in this video? Non dual awareness? What?
This was very insightful, thank you
Thank you, i found your channel. I learned from you.
Very good explanation. Thank you 🙏.
This is a super interesting way of looking at money!
Love this 👌🏼
Great intro to Buddhism! Thank you so much!
Thank you, this is a very clear teaching 😊
In my opinion the english mantra Im already enough is going against Buddhist practice. To me, this mantra implies a self, however in Buddhism, there is no self.
I personally use peace love grace
As I m a Christian (peace the prince of peace. Jesus To fill my heart.).( Love The most important thing because if I can do everything But don't love what's the point).( Grace to forgive myself and others For their failures and shortcomings), That I will pray with a guru bead as my heart. I hope if anyone reads this comment that needs it there will be less than weekly and the name of Jesus The most shy I pray if your path is laid in your jam or If he's leading you on this path be encouraged if you're not on this path The best hopes and wishes to you Truly be blessed
Thank you Claire. This video is really useful and clear.

I couldnt listen because the sound quality was so bad.
I've discovered Buddhism 12 years ago but am much older and really trying to follow this path. I love the mantra of compassion and the mantra to help take away pain and suffering from others. My Mala are red wood. What sort of wood would that be? If you could link me with a website that share a list of mantras I'd be very grateful.
Fantastic video! Thank you so much!
What bout Tibet? If ur calling us Chinese .. ur mistaken lmao
Thanks for sharing, I would like to go beyond basic dual approch to elements. Thousands of years before buddha and tibet existed indian sages have identified true nature of elements. Every east asian culture has taken infinitely small wisdom from it. There is no seprate fire or any element everything has emerged from akasha infinite space and prana ( singular subatomic universal energy ) Fire element also known as agni is also harmones, intercellular heat or immunity. May be it has something to do with gut microbiome who act in digestion but ultimately fire is born from wind element which itself has originated from space so actually fire is space.
Thanks!
Your channel is great. Thank you :) Om amidewa hrih
I want to work on my fire element is there certain foods or herbs that could help?🍎🍎
Thanks for sharing Can you pls make a detailed video on dissolution of elements in dyeing and Bardo states with energetic aspect . its interesting to know how rainbow body is created despite dissolution of all elements
Ultimate secret of the universe is akasha the first primordial element. All east asian spiritual traditions have there origin in india. Ancient indian scriptures have elaborate description of space. In advanced tantric yogic process all five elements are dissolved into even finer element from which space originates. Prana or ultimate building block of energy is yang aspect of yin space. Every state of mind has combinations of all 5 elements. Quantum mechanics and dark energy could be related to space. I think space can be only experiened within and cannot be intellectually explained. Thanks for sharing.
This was a really nice guided meditation for someone just starting like me. Except for the commercials that came on when I was supposed to be relaxing.
