- Meet Shaolin Master Shi Heng Yi in his serene talk about self-discovery. Learn why rainfall is an essential part of each flowering. And every small step - part of the journey to the highest peek. The hindrances along the way to self-discovery and personal growth are easy to overcome. Learn how from his talk. For more than 30 years, Master Shi Heng Yi has been studying and practicing the interaction between mind and body. His strength is the ability to smoothly combine this knowledge with physical exercises and to practice Martial art -Kung Fu and Qi Gong. He has an academic background but he prefers to live at the Shaolin Temple Europe, Monastery located in Otterberg, Germany. Since 2010 he has been taking care of the settlement and he personifies the sustainable development and spreading the Shaolin culture and philosophy. As a contemporary monk, Master Yi holds a smartphone in the folds of his clothes as he sees no contradiction between living together with ancient knowledge and high technology. “The universal law of being successful and happy at the same time means finding the balance”, says master Yi. And as for flying - yes, he really can do it! He only needs a stick and a little space. We expect him to fly-in and share about the Shaolin way at TEDxVitosha 2020.

Apparently, when you're a Shaolin monk, awesome music emanates from the surroundings whenever you speak.
That's him using ultra instinct.
:)
Paul Cavaciuti I don’t think it hurts his message.
Thats his "audible chi"!
@@musopaul5407 its like you didn't even listen to him speak of the 5 hindrances. Your are clearly stuck on the skeptical, :p
Dude doesn't even say "um." He knows what he is going to say and is confident about it. Clarity rings true within.
It helps when you take pauses like he did, plus he probably learned how to stray from the rushed life society imposes on us
"Um" is not in the Shaoin vocabulary. The occasional "er" is acceptable, however ... 9:19, 15:02 for example.
He did once say “Uh” @9:20

True
Hi, I'm 18 and I had already came up with the idea of those principles and been already preventing those hindrances. My idea was not as clear as those given hindrances but I had an idea that those stuff were affecting me and preventing me from studying. So not really 1000 years ig. It's just not everyone really realizes this and keeps repeating the same mistakes.
@@krinj.hub2 These teaching of letting go , being present and learning to turn inward(through meditation) and letting go of the identification and attachment to the body , mind and emotions has been taught for millenia. You saying that you had already come up with those teaching all by yourself is very unlikely or you don't really understand the message. Specially if you live in the western world where The system is setup to look for everything outside of yourself and never learning to "know thyself"
Hi @@forexdissector9565 I am not sure how deep it is taught and practiced in Temples, but I was talking only about the very hindrances mentioned in the video. Sure, I haven't come up with the practices and teachings you mentioned and neither did he mention them in the video. However, I had come up with an idea that those hindrances were affecting me and I have been always trying to prevent it. For example, I have realized that to keep on a steady pace of studying 12-14 hours a day, I should go to library. Because home is too comfortable. I stop caring about goals at home. I should not have fun with friends for long, because if I do, my discipline and focus is ruined and I should build it all over again. There's more but I hope you got the idea. Thanks to my trials to trying to realize what's going on with myself, what's causing it, and how to prevent it, and thus studying hard, I got accepted to a top 50 university with full ride scholarship as an international student Alhamdulillah. The speech given by Master Shi Heng Yi has so much wisdom indeed, it cleared my ideas and sorted them into categories, and therefore my respect to Buddhism and teachings of Shaolin temple increased to more than before.

I am from a poor & developing country, people said that I never have a chance to study abroad because I don't have enough resources but I manage to save money and apply to learn Master degree in US with financial aid program. And finally I get the US Visa for studying. There are people happy for me but there are still people keep telling me I am nothing, I could not climb that high mountain. There are still many challenges ahead, sometimes I am scared but I still keep going. Be strong to discover the world.
You are doing great. The people who are speaking negatively towards you are called crabs in a basket they see someone doing great they want to pull you back in that basket or the phrase who do you think you are. You know who you are and keep moving against the forces that are trying to push you back! Keep moving forward! 😊
He never said “um” or “so,” any other filler words/sounds. Amazing.
It's not really. Not downplaying anything. But when you consider what the word amazing really describes he's just being present. The amazing thing is that people need fillers.
@@everythingisaworkinprogres5729 That's the challenge though, being present in this day & age.
15:02 Turns out he's human
@@melanieliu3588 Yes, exactly my point. THAT is the amazing part.
@@vincentclay9895 Thank you for the suggestion. I already know about Toastmasters. I used to live in Denver. They obviously are successful at their goal. But I feel their process is more focused on the effects, the results. I feel like it's like cheerleading. The stimuli is external (world championship of public speaking?). I always try to approach things from a spiritual perspective.

So powerful 🙂♥️

This is really deep
Bitter truth
Love that well said
What a beautiful message at the end "see you at the peak'. Kind words from a wise soul.
I got panic when I saw the clock kept running and he only got 3 mins left while he was not finishing. Seriously, I got super anxious and worried. But seeing him being so calm makes me realize that my anxiety is what I need to deal with. And his strong mind really says something about the stability of oneself, being mindful and calm even when others are pushing us
That's what I was thinking😅 and you are absolutely right
Same. I thought "He's talking too slowly, he's not gonna make it".
Relaxxx people ❤😂
Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.

School teaches you lessons, then gives you a test..
Life gives you a test, which teaches you a lesson.
Thats the point👌
Beauty! :)
👍👍👍👍
perfectly said ..
The quicker you realize the meaning of life, the more lessons you will learn and implement into your life which becomes a journey.
This is why I've always liked eastern spirituality. So much kindness and compassion.
How about just being kind and compassionate?
Tell that to someone on the receiving end of some Shaolin Kung Fu.
I like the pace at which he talks. No rush, just calmness and confidence.
"All our lifetimes are too unique to copy the path of someone else"
"Even if you walk the same path in the same way it will always be a unique experience"
@Rickie j climbing the mountain is a metaphor for living your life. Others can tell you the path they took, you have to make your own way to the top
My God man the perfect statement of the world, everybody needs to read it!!!!!
oh wow.. that was deep! hehe

I swear, Shaolin monks look like most peaceful and most deadly people at the same time.

5 障礙
1. 感官慾望（快樂和分心）
2.惡意（消極思想）
3.身心懶散（缺乏活力，缺乏動力）
4. 不安（擔心未來或後悔過去，無法停留在當下）
5. Skeptical 懷疑（優柔寡斷）
這些障礙中的每一個都在您的腦海中籠罩著一片烏雲。
解決方案：調整和安排您的生活，以防止出現這些障礙。
消除這些障礙的 4 個步驟
1. 認清（你的心態）
2. 接受（接受並允許情況和人保持現狀/現狀）
3. 調查（你的情緒和精神狀態）--“為什麼會出現？” “如果我一直保持那種狀態，會有什麼後果？”
4. 不認同（練習“我不是身體，我不是頭腦，我不是我的情緒，我只能看到關於我的所有這三個方面”）
He is like Bruce Lee, just without jokes to buy public attention. Straight to the point without any nonsense. Respecting the viewer knowing that true value sells itself.
"All of our lives are too unique to copy the path from someone else".
what do you think is the best way to follow your own judgement / path? to find that voice?
Not really that unique.
The truth is even if we're trying to copy others our path our journey will be unique.not the same
That really spoke to me too
exactly!
This Ted talk is going to change me, I’ll be back in a year to update this comment. Hold me to it, and wish me luck!
Follow *Nick Keomahavong* TH-cam channel
i would be very happy to meet you at the peak.
I wish you luck!
Good luck
You go! 👐
I keep coming back to this because it is so TRUE!!! Knowing how to focus is the ULTIMATE SUPERPOWER in this age and generation where everything is calling for your attention
Master Heng Yi speaks gold whenever he speaks.
Common sense?
Why? What’s the greater meaning or symbolism of gold?

He is a humble man that can kick our asses and later he would pay the hospital bills too and become your friend.
and it would be a lifechanging lesson
And it would be for our own good.
So true.
not sure which sect he is in the shaolin temple, not all are in the warrior sect some remain in the religious sect. Though he seems fit so who knows. Agreed, he prolly would pay for the bills and befriend.
Tough love lol
"I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am not my emotion."
Thank you for that sir.
I didn't get the meaning of this line .... please help me to understand
@@professionalpunter1154 I don't wanna sound like one of those new age hippies but you need to meditate. In simple terms, you are not the Car(The body and it's emotions), you are the driver inside it(the observer).
Realizing that lets you take a step back from your emotions/worries and look at them more rationally.
@@professionalpunter1154 you are the soul the immortal soul that god created
No im a construct of the E8 Latice.
Basically, denial of reality makes it easier to cope with human existence.
To bring value in your life you need to master your self. Find your way your self. Our life is too unique to copy from someone else.
How does one learn them selfs though ?
@@zachkelly89 In day to day life we should be able to find needs and expectations of us and society. Set goal to meet that. Collect information and act but experience of clarity that get will be different even way is same.
Hope it clarify your doubts.
Thanks for raising your doubt.
Master SHY is a real gem and treasure to humanity. His wisdom penetrates our mind, body and soul. I am a pure christian Catholic and I believed and practiced its teaching but somehow we also need wisdom and teaching such as these. I have watched some of his talks and its really great and amazing. God bless you always Master SHY. Namaste,,😍 🙏🙏🙏
All of these principles are also found in the BIBLE!
Love the way he ended his speech. *If any of you choose to climb the path of Clarity.... I will be glad to meet u at the peak*👌
Salute!!
Kryssia
It made it all even more meaningful
He means - not physically - you & him are one.. a reflection of each other. The peak is a metaphor for losing the ego.. something that has destroyed the essence of existence ❤️🙏
That means, he has the best clarity about himself.
His drip is on another level man.
Like for real
sheeshh
You get?
i was about to say the same thing
@@nayrb1o1 mbxt
I have been avoiding this video for years, thinking “I don’t want to be lectured or taught something in such a disciplined and cold manner, as the monks go very deep into and make me uncomfortable” but everything this man uttered had a place of good intention and understanding just how difficult this self journey can be if we do not have the right track to go. I stumbled into this video on autoplay while dozing off and I was amazed at how focused this speech was, and how some thing as simple as mountain climbing stories let us know what is happening within our self destructive behaviours. From what I heard, now there is a root for me to make more conscious choices and not identify too strongly with what I experience day-to-day.
The first step was admitting it and now I hope to begin my walk on you all and see things clearly.
"Just let it rain" I did...this made me cry, but I love this

Exactly.
The first and probably the last speech ever i know to be spoken without space fillers.... Pranams from India
He seems so at peace with himself... I want to feel that.
If you want it you can have it!!!....the only one in the way of you having it is you, yourself. Look inwards. Seek & you shall find.
Almost 14 years ago I participated in a program in the Shaolin temple where he used to live. This guy taught me proper meditation and breathing skills and shared his story with me. Absolutely fantastic person with an unbelievable amount of discipline and a mind which is the strongest I've ever encountered. One time the other 3 guys who were in the temple and I couldn't keep up with him and the monks and we fell behind during the morning routine. As punishment we had to do 500 push ups which sounded completely unreal but he said we won't get to eat unless we finished it. He said all this in a very calm voice and we just did it. He taught me how to achieve anything if you're disciplined and calm enough. 非常谢谢师父!
Teach us also senpai
How I can go there how I can I meet him??plz rply
Very awesome. Master of the mind
how long did that take you??
I was about to ask u how to get here . Untill u said 500 n then u can’t eat 👀. Would the food still be warm 5hrs later
Спасибо.
Низкий поклон и уважение.🙏
Today "it comes Up" watching this for the forth time, I have connected with my situation and feeling my self seeing me & began to find stable of my emotion and clarity of my present situation. Thank you for your teaching and sharing.
I’ve lost count of how many times I have listened to this video. Recently, I went out of my way to find it and reincorporate it into my repertoire.
This speech is worth listening to more than a popular song.
"If any of you chooses to climb that path to clarity, I will be happy to meet you at the peak."
I've never heard anything so confident ever before in my life.
Best Ted Talk I've seen.
Spoiler: you may be disappointed that the speaker ends on an elitist note
That is a very painful thing to hear from someone who seemingly practices wisdom.

5 Hindrances
1. Sensual desire (pleasures & distractions)
2. ill will (negative mind)
3. Slothful body & mind (lack of energy, lack of motivation)
4. Restlessness (worry about the future or regret about the past, unable to stay in the present)
5. Skeptical doubt (indecisiveness)
Each of these hindrances is placing a dark cloud on your mind.
Solution: Align and structure your life to prevent these hindrances from arising.
4 Steps to remove these Hindrances
1. Recognize (what state of mind you’re in)
2. Accept (accept and allow situations and people to be the way it is/they are)
3. Investigate (your emotional & mental state) - “why did it come up?” “what is the consequence if I remain in that state?”
4. Non identification (practice “I’m not the body, I’m not mind, I’m not my emotion, I can just see all these 3 aspects about me”)
Thank you for the wonderful summary.
Thank You 💟
Useful Thanks
Five hinderance is clearly specified in the sutras, and the ONLY solution, also specified, is four foundations of mindfulness.
However, his solution is totally unheard of from Buddhism.
Thankyou
The older I get the more I understand and appreciate this talk, monk, video and... Everything. 🙏
As a child, when I didn't have much control over my environment and I wasn't able to just be inside my room undisturbed and not go to unimportant events because of my parents, I was able to accept my environment. I suffered in the noise, the social anxiety, the judgement, the stress, the standing around, the heat of the sun etc. It toughened me up. It made my body and mind adjust to that environment and see it as "normal". Once I saw discomfort and chaos as normal, I was able to sit in it peacefully. I was hurting and suffering a lot but I didn't think of it as unfair, and thank god I didn't. It was the best childhood I could have ever wished for. It taught me how to be at peace with suffering. Once I was able to do that, I was able to fully feel actual peace inside my room or when sitting outside somewhere looking at the clear blue sky and hearing birds chirping.
Calmness is a superpower that doesn't seem to need any real effort. All it needs is for you to let things go. To stop controlling and just experience. To stop reacting and just feel. To stop thinking and just be.
I really love the way he completely ignores the timer on the stage after it hit zero..
Made me really anxious though.
@Chris W or inconsiderate lol.
Right after that, he says “there’s no time” 14:07
It’s because he knows Time is just a concept, an illusion
Time is an illusion.
When he said: " I am not my body. I am not my mind. I am not my emotions. " i felt baptized. 💛🙌💫
It's amusing how closely aligned modern psychology has aligned with buddhist teachings. It's as though as a profession they looked to their teachings and realised: These guys have already got us beat. They've wrapped all concepts covered in these talks in western language - Cognitive behaviour therapy.
@@T3RRY_T3RR0R Right?!
Yes! At first I talked back to him in my mind, “I feel it. How dare you tell me I am not my feeling?” Then I realized what he meant. My emotions, my thoughts and my worries are just the state of minds or actions and they are not ME. We suffer because we identify ourselves with our state of feelings or doings.
Same here, if an 18 minute video can change your perspective and restore faith in yourself wholly - then imagine what years of buddhist training can accomplish. I deeply admire the wisdom these people carry within themselves, but also the discipline.
Then who are you?
I'm back again after many months to listen to what he explained again, finally happy that I'm at a better state of mind to be able to comprehend all he said clearly, the mental fog gone almost completely and I'm way healthier and evolved in many aspects. Thank you for sharing these with all of us.
Wow
Congrats TH-cam friend. I share a quote of mine: "We should never stop evolving" ;)

So that what a real master is O.O wow i felt the same.

Everytime I workout, I play this video. It just motivates me to work harder and push further. ❤
As a german i can hear his german accent, what a wonderful time to be alive! A german chinese shaolin teaching me something about self mastery in english!
I hear it too! How cool!
🤗not that it matters but just for info he's a german of vietnamese origin instead of chinese 🙏
I don't hear a German accent at all, but a Vietnamese/German one. A German accent sounds totally different to me.
@@biancahotca3244 it is very subtile and i think one has to be a native german speaker to hear it, is the way some few sounds are made and used by him that i clearly can hear his german speaking backround.
And i believe you that he also has a chinese accent many foreign families I know here in germany have kids that where raised truly bilingual, Perfect german for outside and perfect mother language with the family. I guess this man is such a case.
His German accent is very mild compared to most Germans.
Having visited a Shaolin Temple and seeing the discipline of conduct, the presentation is very soothing.
I will tell you something about yourself Master Shi Heng Yi. You are intuitive, kind, slow to anger, thoughtful, intelligent, resourceful, very good looking, you had to fight the self to achieve the inner stillness. You win because you can work until you get what you want. Others look up to you and you don't have to have that, to feel like a success. You are amazing! I would love to know you!
Took some notes for myself and now sharing them for anyone who might find them valuable :)
5 Hindrances to Self-Mastery
1. Sensual desire (sight/touch/taste/smell/hearing) = Am I addicted?
2. Ill will / aversion = Am I feeling a negative emotion?
3. Dullness / heaviness = Am I unmotivated?
4. Restlessness = Is my mind jumping from though to thought?
5. Sceptical doubt = Am I indecisive?
Rain (is the solution)
Recognise which one you're experiencing
Accept that's what you're experiencing
Investigate why you're experiencing it
Non-identify with that experience: 'i am not the body, i am not the mind, i am not my emotion'
I wish the talk would go on for longer and if he could share stories of people overcoming each of them :)
you are great
Keep is going ! share your story.
Thank you....

“All of our lifetimes, all of our lives are too unique to copy the path from someone else”
Copy the path*(not past)
Yet you go on writing a comment that consists solely of a quote. Ironic
@James Coleman Indeed. The blind lead the blind in the unconcsious world of men.
One of the actual main issues is that we really don't understand the path at all, no matter what we would like to think, and it takes a true master who's actually accomplished it to show us the way. I found my teacher at Drukama, check out the tradition if you're interested (or anyone reading). Be well.

Sensual mind

Slothful mind
Unsettled mind
Skeptical doubt
"Align and structure your life in a way to prevent these hindrances"
1. Recognize
2. Accept
3. Investigate
4. Non-Identity
There are 2 mistakes along the way to mastery
1. Not starting
2. Not going all the way
And Non-Identity is "I'm not my body." "I'm not my mind." "I'm not my emotion." 无身，无心，无念

Amazing
There is a sixth hindrance, most agree: Greed. This is desire; as in the desire for things to be other than they are actually and right now. In prison I learned "it's all right here." Or as another remarked, the greatest obstacle to happiness is our idea that there's a way things should be.

Life has an odd way of allowing you to learn all of this on your own, you just can't let emotion control you; understand that you control it. You have to know that you are not your mind, your mind is a part of you. Your body does not decide how to act based on the two, you control them all simultaneously, forever. You always have...
One day I hope, we all may learn this at a younger age...and be thankful for being in such control.

Reminds me of Bruce Lee saying don't imitate others but develop your own unique style
This took my deep attention as well.
"If any of you chooses to climb that path to clarity, I would be very happy to meet you at the peak." What a statement. Such a beautiful speech. Thank you sir!
I've been at the peak, but never met him there ))
@@tubomania wrong mountain buddy, keep climbing
@@tubomania pllp.
GB a
@@11soWoo No one's EGO can climb that mountain. Think about it. How can You meet anyone at the peak? Obviously, when You are there - it is not already You and definitely not the Master.
@@tubomania in case you didn’t get it, the story of the travelers and the mountain is a metaphor to symbolize personal growth, so it’s not a literal mountain. That’s what his whole speech is about. You’re not gonna meet the master or anybody there. He also mentioned 5 hindrances, I think you’re victim to 2-3 of them either a skeptical doubt or negative mind/aversion or both. The master mentioned 2 types of travelers, what he didn’t mention is a 3rd traveler, that’s you 😂😆
Let me put it this way- You have people that work hard to get to where they are at in life to achieve their own goal and overcame the 5 hindrances. Then you also have people that depends on others to achieve that goal. You also have people that think the goal is impossible and doesn’t quite get it and chooses not to have any goal at all.
The master’s story is one of many symbolisms. You can apply it to any scenario and the rules still apply. Let me give another one,
I have friends that are MD from med school because thy studied hard and didn’t need anyone’s help and wasn’t born with a silver spoon, i also have friends that were sociable and had help in finishing their education via study groups/family/friends support, and then I also have friends that goes “college is not for me” without even trying to apply, “i’m too old to go to school,” or “i’m not smart enough.” Either their negative mind had clouded their judgement or made the decision for them or they’re just too lazy iono. If you don’t care about your personal growth then no1 can help you in that regard because only YOU can do it, it’s personal for a reason. I joked about it all the time to my my wife “huney, can you go pee FOR me?” she was like “what? that’s impossible! Your bladder is full, not mine”😂 Then, the next time chocolate came around, she didn’t save me any, she was like “ughh...I ate it FOR you??” .....🤦♂️😆😂 (don’t mess with women) 🤦♂️
THIS IS SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL HES A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING PPL HUMANITY IS BEAUTIFUL LOVE EACH OTHER I BEG YOU ALL FROM STATEN ISLAND TO SHENGHAI TO UKRAINE TO BRAZIL TO MIDWAY ISLAND LETS LOVE N PROTECT THIS EARTH N EACH OTHER THIS MAN IS A 💎
A Vaidhya (Ayurveda Doctor/Healer) once diagnosed me with "hurry, worry, and curry" for all my ailments which I have suffered since childhood. I understood the curry part but the hurry and worry, I understand now.
Do you guys even notice how he didn’t care about the chrono time, he wanted to finish his message and he did it we such respect and calm.
Stay bless people.
The hosts didn't even want to interrupt, they were taking notes to.
I can't believe I wasn't the only one nervous at around the 45th second wondering whether they'll cut him short. I was so immersed in the listening that the simple solution of checking the remaining video length was momentarily oblivious to me.
Keep fighting the good fight, no matter the size of the adversary. Just like us, our biggest demons have weak points! "Always Faithful"
@@muchiribantu3226 There is no need to worry about the trouble, when you can only reach your destination as scheduled. A good time to be, is any time at all.
I don’t know but I do live in China
Many people practice the art of building their bodies...NOT their minds, which is why the world is so chaotic. Great benefit in this video.
True
It doesn't matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop 🙏
@@ktkktl4500 it's a life journey...definitely worth taking
It's important to work on both. We need balance everywhere in our lives.
Building the body and mind often go hand in hand. The world is chaotic because everyone's trying to fit in the restaurant.
Some people appears in my life every day and it doesn't inspire me, it doesn't help me see or change. The master appeared today, now, for the first time, and changed everything - my perception, my breathing, the way I think, speak, feel, and be silent. It is the spirit that I was looking for, that I was waiting for and that I wanted to be my "Guru", guide and guide, in my journey on the mountain. "Thank you" is too little! Reverence, Master!
Namaste! 🙏
Do not trust what anyone tells you.
Truth must be found in ones self.
This should be a mandatory class in every grade of school.
Facts
School is not a good place to be in nowadays.
Wat shud b taught is neva taught at a younger age ,,,,n r expected 2learn faster something else at a later stage.
@@sonald987 it's like they're setting everyone up for failure... On purpose 🤔🤔🤔
Interesting,why wud one b so insecure in revealing the real info...cowards
The most important part is practicing. "I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am not my emotion. It's just that I can see all this three aspect about me"
Even though it is extremely hard 😭😭.
💟 *That's because you are the Impartial Spectator, the Watcher - the real you is "One" with G'd, your Divine Soul. And therefore your actions will be without the 5 hindrances, based on love, what is needed in the here and now, as "G'd's Spirit" further directs the way you should be.. Salvation comes from true self-realization.* 🙏🏽
@@sallyironic4251you are the awareness behind them. You are something higher than the body, the mind and the emotion. You are the thing that´s aware of these three things. Pure consciousness.
That is a lie. You ARE the body, the mind and the emotion.
Just pasting that over your experience won't free you from appropriating the body and the mind, though. You actually have to stop acting out of your appropriation of these things.
Background music 🎶 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the most brilliant & helpful TED that I have ever watched. Thank you!
This guy feels like still water. Energies under control
he's just translating either German or Chinese to English in his mind.
Yeah, he’s very calm. Emotions control 100%
@@chase5177 😂😂😂nah bro. Getting uncomfortable looks chaotic this man doesn't
@TED x Talks do you really think people are gonna think you are the real tedxtalks?
I agree he is so powerful but it's very soft and gentle but the power is there like a volcano and can erupt any second if he needed it to.
That's wonderful.
Runs out of time.
Keeps going without rushing because he's teaching us to overcome hindrances
Like holding in bathroom breaks? lol
@@GingVenz It seems to be named Lotus By Secret Garden. Album Earthsongs. Its in the info.
@Rickie j i'll bite, how could you have possibly gotten this out of a video in which this dude doesn't plug a service and is giving extremely valuable (if not the most valuable) information for free lol. It's purely selflessness for the sake of giving others clarity, I hope one day you can see the beauty in that.
@Rickie j I think you are just being cynical and overall plain negative. There are people who are selfless, or who will give advice expecting nothing in return. Perhaps, living as a traditional westerner before his Monastic journey, he feels that his advice will be beneficial to many people and even worth sharing if it only helps one person. Just a thought.
@Rickie j - Despite the fact that any assumptions about his character would likely be exactly that, quality of info is independant of the character of the person presenting it. Taking issue with the personality of the presenter is a popular strategy for critics that wish to avoid discussing content, although I doubt you know anything about him. You condescendingly imply that you are older and more aware, and then claim it is the monk who is statisfying his ego! - looks like a common case of projection to me.
His Eyes says more than words
Thank you Master Shi Heng Yi
"I am not the body, I am not the mind and I am not my emotion" -such a powerful thought
No you are not
The essence of Indian spiritual thought from which all indic religions emerge from.
I m just another bakchodi of nature 😂
If you are not body, if you are not mind, if you are not emotion then who are you? You are a combination of all 3. If you are to emotional, you become animalistic. If you are too disciplined you become a mechanical man. Exist in the middle free to flow back and forth but always returning to center.
@@dsvet awesome commment "If you are to emotional, you become animalistic. If you are too disciplined you become a mechanical man." Everything in this life is about balance and the hard part is keeping that balance on everything that you do
If you came to the comments looking to get an idea of what this talk was about, don’t be like the man asking other travelers about what they observed at the top of the mountain.
Watch the video and gain your own clarity.
hahahahaha
if you came here looking to crack a Shaolin joke, become a monk first. Face the rain.
Well said Roy!
roy brooks actually, no. Because: he is talking about how these hindrances affect your own personal journey.
This is different from everybody else and you must adapt to them.
Summarizing the video filters out the main points, but there may be some
details left, which might be important.
Right 👍🏾
Glad to have seen this today. Your spiritual journey can have many ebbs and flows.
why have i not found this vdo before
only vdo u will ever ned in life in all and every situation of life when u feel stuck
Wishing all 10M viewers a good start of their journey to a better life ! ☺️
Thanks I knew most already but this video is a good summary recap. Sadly I have all 5 hindrances in my life as a kid I was really slacking but I'm sure given some time I'll overcome my troubles
@@bigbadlara5304 wish you the best of luck❤️
Thanks, see you at the top!
Thank you
Dude your past is also part of the journey and so are all the bad things that happened as well 🤦🏻♂️
Q: How do I skip past the journey and get to the answer?
Monk: there is no answer, there is only the journey
The journey is the answer because it shows you questions you would have never asked.
Exactly! Having no way as way.
@@michaelmoon2709 ...*iSayThatKnoWay'sAway'sTheWay-Hey-?allyoop*M-M*...
Be monke
That's why the answer still eludes you. You're focused on the end instead of the journey there. 👍
Thank you so much for bringing this powerful man here to share his wisdoms. He speaks truths. I can feel it.
Thank you for reminding me to calm the mind. It's when I'm weak that I run into the following Hindrances.
1. Sensual Desire
2. Ill Will / Aversion
3. Dullness / Heaviness
4. Restlessness (monkey mind)
5. Skeptical doubt (indecisiveness)
Can't believe it took me 3 years to stumble onto "Shi Heng YI", thank you for sharing your knowledge.
His facial structure is so beautiful
👀
Agreed
So its about facial structure,outer apperance. Great! Nisargadata maharaj so beautiful? come on.
Ok
Best looking monk I've ever seen 😍
Damn these monks, the way they talk. They make it easy to understand, perfectly calm and clear.
Its not hard to understand. Its very very hard to practice.
For me personally I had to speed up the video I couldn't keep my focus on the slow talking but what he said does make a lot of sense to me and it's important to me
@@bigbadlara5304 I think listening to slow talk give you more chance to think clearly, also helping yourself staying "on track"
@@vitlinh I agree with your point but for me personally my thoughts will go off into some random direction and I'll lose track of the talk and not remember it.
@@bigbadlara5304 #4, restless mind
Master Shi recognizes that his speech time's up, accepts it and does not let it stop himself.
