IN pureland and chan/zen , meditative concentration is able the mind to be undisturbed by outside environment . it is very clear, pure and calm and single heartedly focus on one object or no object
There is something about Buddhism that is more connected and reverent of the mind of a child than in Western culture. This wisdom that he refers to was in many ways the original default manner in which we felt , thought and related to each other as children and then we had to endure our parents, teachers and society try and separate it from us and give us a substitute mentality that kept us strangers to ourselves and each other until we throw it down in desperation and save ourselves.
He just explained, in 5 minutes, what has taken me over 10 years to learn about meditation lol Really though, this is the best simplified explanation of meditation I've ever come across.
Morality, which he did not mention is the basis of the whole path, and produces a base level of tranquility that conditions progress in study and meditation.
No, morality results from pursuing the path. The disaster of placing morality first is most beautifully represented by the religions of the west, which have done relatively little to bring an end to worldly suffering.
Some criminal type has been attributed the actual advice to "never hate your enemies it clouds your judgement", so there's a topic of genuine meditation well fitted to this video. If you react in kind to false policy and actions, it's a negative contribution to the world. "Right action" is not to ignore it completely, but find another point of view/way to present in substitution, and let "wrong" self-destruct. Not easy when the wrong-doers get paid more in the short term, that is when you are aware of apparent suffering, because self-inhibition "while you wait" may require more time than there seems to be available. Now the definition of Enlightenment makes sense, putting down this burden, but the turning of dispassionate release into "forgiveness" is a bit tentative and potentially dangerous. Ignorance is bliss might not be the bliss you need. The concept of Lord or Buddha, (very functional but carries a risk to mental wholeness), the interpretation of the Universe as one-ness because it's the sum of all histories integration of of your experience in existence and the dominance of coherence, cognition and connected information from the past with current events, is the natural occurring processes of Consciousness in Evolution, in a Quantum Mechanical cause-effect of Time Timing resonances. Ie, it's Philosophical and Experiential, not supernatural, it's the holistic, meditative state of combined awareness from experience, and memory as it appears to be reflected in the World around us., again not Devine.., Holographic. Beware misinterpretation and resulting misattribution to "external" forces.
If you dont know, have at least 10 days to sparare from ur life , n live this life , u will know what i am talking about .what buthha did for this world .only today u know what is ultrasound . ur mind is ultrasound to ur body . i have experiened myself . if u want to experience todday come to india u will know it.
actually i think hes wrong here meditation without associated conceptalizing about emptyness is better, i read a book called "the relaxation response" i started meditating in a totally secular way, with ZERO instruction about buddhist ideas when i had what i later found out was called a spontainous realization of emptiness,renunciation and bohdicitta so explain that? those things just poped up in my mind out of nowhere never heard of them before
roman14032 it’s rare but does happen. Empitness, renunciation, and bodhichitta are the ground of your being so it is possible. But for most we are so entangled in the world that study, contemplation, and then hours on a cushion are needed. Remember to though that any epiphany that one had has to be continually watered and cared for. It has to become stable and pervasive which usually means continual practice. Much Love🙏🏽
+Alex Ivanovs - Body language isn't 100%. Also what he is saying is exactly right on, there is no question of uncertainty with what he says, it reflects the Buddhist position very accurately. He is one of the leading scholars of Buddhism in the west, in case you didn't know.
Why does he talk like he's in a mad rush? Its what all salespeople do. So I take what he says with a big pinch of salt. People who've actually realised anything, speak slower, use fewer words and those words sink in deep. He's just verbal diarrhoea.

The point is that one meditates to understand one's own mind but in order better to relate to others. Simple but profound
I like it when he has conversations better...I have trouble with the long lectures otherwise though very informative
This guy never fails to impress me.

Thank you Robert Thurman - this is good news. 🙏🏼

Yes the dalai was ' connected ', connected to the american intelligence services.
Hands closed = protecting himself = uncertain advice.
