- Lee Juan Yew is widely regarded as the founding father of modern Singapore. As Prime Minister for 31years from 1959 to 1990, he led Singapore to independence and transformed the economy from the third world to first. In giving his approval for the publication of this video, Mr Lee urged that newcomers to meditation ‘must believe in it and they must practise it, even though they do not succeed at the early stages.

Never knew this interaction and video existed. I'm humbled to find this video
Meditation is not a monopoly of any religion but whoever meditates understand things better.
Although this was somewhat hard to watch (I had never seen Lee Kuan Yew in such a frail state), it was nonetheless revealing to see a different side of him where he looked serene, as someone that had found peace within himself. Thank you for sharing.
people like him, brilliant and hardworking , cannot rest. their minds are always working. sad. hope he is resting in peace now...RIP Mr Lee. Youve deserved it.
THANK YOU MR. LEE, always thinking of Singapore even when you are already so weak then.... RIP. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS and we are so lucky to have you.
back to listening to this in 2020, and while LKY was old in 2013 and slurred in his speech, his sentences flowed smoothly still and words were chosen carefully. Also, Father Freeman was such such a gentle and respectful interviewer here. What a lovely recording.
a great leader a great person, cant bare to see him in such a fragile state, RIP in heaven
Is there a HEAVEN large enough???
It's because of Rev Fr Laurence Freeman that now my parish of Holy Family integrates meditation before mass. But no matter what religion you have it's a good way to pray or get settled in peace.
Meditation, a must to steady the mind before making an important decision
I have listen to this almost 3-4 time. Each time there is something more to learn or discover. It really means a lot when you hear greatest personality LKY uses meditation as a daily tool to manage stress and take a pause when making imp decision. Love for LKY you will always be remembered for your contribution to world till eternity.
The Fouñder Of Singapore Is
A Lord To Me . Thank You.
Leave tears in my eyes !
Inner peace come from clear conscience first.
Thank you for sharing. This is indeed very enlightening.
Mediation is not a religion it's to find peace with yourself
Meditation purify one's mind and compassion to all beings.
I always do meditation to make sure I have happy life for every day. A peace of mind help me make the right and important decision in my life time. Buddishm teaches me to practice good mankind and meditation by chanting Buddha's name to have a calm spiritual.
Such a hero! Hero to many! RIP
👍🙏🏻, hope everyone adopt meditation. In fact it’s pretty urgent.
8:00 Interestingly 20 minutes is about the time for me to complete one recitation of a mystery from the Holy Rosary within the Catholic faith tradition !
I'm not judgemental of Mr. Lee. I'm respectfull of him even if he's an atheist
Nice
Some ppl spend their lifetime seeking power, wealth & fame but only to lose them all when one dies - they are but temporary- they offer no real gratification for the heart all these is never enough cos it will cannot gratifies the heart.. but the MOST pathetic thing is to died without knowing God. It is God who can carry u into another world- He is the One who is eternal & whom ppl who know better should seek
He's saying how there is this "true person"/God within us that we don't realize. All of us are God. The kingdom of Christ is within us. Meditation subdue the ego mind that is thinking about himself and our true Self reveal itself. It has always been there, but we never aware of It.
It's the same thing over and over again spoken of in sacred texts, sutras and Bible. It was never about religion, your god my god.

the video indicated 21August 2013 but only got published in 2015.
We are here for a purpose. Lky was here to build up Spore. He did that for all to see. Nothing spiritual nor religious that, even if you are as a priest, we won't be looking frail in our last days.
Take the time to listen
🙏🤝🤲
Ps.19:14. Phi. 4:8.
Meditation is not easy, have to clear your mind from backwardness, good thought, after many practices of meditation, you will definitely experience calmness, when walking outside, you also observe peoples were minding his own business. it's good to meditation.
Did LKY study meditation with any Buddhist teachers?
Ps. 1: 2 !.
25 minutes of meditation? Before you reach the state of stillness, time is up! Even for the experienced practitioner of meditation, he will need 10 - 20 minutes or more to reach the state of emptiness of mind, and being able to be undisturbed by worldly thoughts, it will take many years of consistent practice. Meditation is for everyone, but not everyone could achieve it - clear selfless state of mind(了了分明的本来面目 - 灵知).
LKY was already 90 by now. Despite his frail, gaunt appearance and his slurred speech, notice that his thought coherence is intact. Such logical analysis. It was such a brilliant thing when he said, imagine if Hitler had done meditation, would he done such a "wild and dangerous" thing as to invade Western Europe and Russia at the same time, to underscore his point on the importance of meditation to good decision making.
LKY wasn't someone i admire as he had done quite a lot of harm to s'pore (esp ordinary Chinese s'poreans desp their sacrifices), though not obvious , but he did reflect & acknowledge some ,so give him some credit...he was better than the current PAP for sure.
There is nothing wrong with spiritual religion
i hate to think how he must have looked when he died if this is what he looked before. Poor man.
This looks eerie, rite? Neither godly nor angelic!
Where is the serenity of the soul before death?
@@jeangian1781 beauty is only skin deep. All I can see is a man who has lived a long and good life, looking slightly at peace. Everyone turns frail and eventually passes away.
Happens when one does too much evil in younger days
@@weesh7302 i love LKY. I didnt mean it critically
He was a nominal buddhist. Why consult a Catholic priest?
Jean Gian buddishim is not a religion it an education, Buddhist respect all religions and believer they are very accommodating I'm a Buddhist
Whatever religion one believes in, one does not practise benevolence, kindness and forgiveness to other human beings, one's conscience will prick him/her.
This sight is not pleasant! Based on his 'great deeds for a nation', this should not be the look to be seen by the world. There is no sign of serenity in the soul. The Thai king looked equally frail but pleasant.
Buddhism talks about '舍利子' which appears in the cremated body of a wise person. I wonder if any was found in this so called 'wise' man?
The abbot at Bright Hill was found with more than a hundred of these 舍利子 in his cremated body.
@@jeangian1781 wondering have you or you family friends benefit from what the wise man had done to bring the citizens of this small island?
Benjamin Lau
Have you ever wonder why with your level of intelligence & capability, you are still living in a HDB flat (if you own one) and own only 1 car?
Have you ever wonder why with combined income with your spouse (if she is working), your family is still struggling to make ends meet?
In other countries, a family with both working spouses can have a high quality of life. Are you really enjoying your life? Do you work very hard and still have money problems?
@@jeangian1781 so you mean you live in the same cell?
