3 years ago...after seeing 3 therapists that didnt work...i stumbled across a single video by the master of mind, mingyur riponche. It was a 3 min video on how to meditate anywhere - and he explained the monkey mind. You can see that video in TH-cam still. That monkey mind explanation clicked something in my perception on that night. I remember that night so clearly laying in bed 2am thinking about my issues...and that 3min video clicked something in my understanding that 3 seperate local therapists couldnt do. I watched all his videos after that. He fixed me that night and will be forever grateful to him. 🙏
Wonderful you found something that resonated with you. I’ve found this is the challenge when seeking mental health help - it can be difficult to find the “right” path/guidance that clicks and makes sense.
The kind of meditation he teaches is the one I finally landed on. IT stuck because you don't need a thing to do it, you can do it anywhere, and the negative emotions and distractions can all be part of the meditation. It teaches you how to deal with these things in everyday life.
I like that this doesn’t involve a lot of the airy fairy forced positivity, spirituality white light or higher plane “zen-ness” that many of the meditation practices do - I’m not saying that is useful for some but I prefer a more no nonsense approach. I like how it is based on more of a practical here and now basic focus.
Me too. I know the word for decades, but I never truly felt any help by doing so. Until one day I saw his TED talk. So inspiring! And I applied it every time I walk. Finally I understand why so many people suggest meditation.
I started with his meditative advice - 5 minutes per day. I did it for a week and then added another minute. I now have a 23 minute meditation session every day.
I have followed Rinpoche and his teachings for years now as well as other Buddhist teachers teaching the same methods, and I can say, if you have a steady practice...it really works. These are ancient teachings which can and will transform and grow your inner and outer world. True alchemy. Such a beacon of hope. Thank you, Rinpoche!
I love how human and down to earth Yongey is and how he naturally includes his “failures” and humanity in each story. He appreciates that as humans we are weak, flawed and imperfect and his reminders that perfection isn’t the goal rather to keep trying.
Love this man my all time favourite person on the internet by light years!Breath & know that your breathing,listen to sound & know that your listening,sit & know that your sitting...the" knowing " is the awareness in that second just keep connecting with awareness don't let the mind trick u & say this is to simple..this teaching so important im still at kindergarten stage but this is the essence of YongeyMinigur Ripinoches teaching 💕🙏
A Good excersise is just putting purpose to Everything u do - I clean my house to clear the space and the energies for me and others to feel good. And I walk my dog because I love him and i want her to get the best day. I eat healthy food because i take care of my body exetera❤️ Thank u for this, it was lovely!
i love it when interviewers are not afraid to ask questions they have in the moment. many times it just mirrors my own. other times it just makes the conversation seem human. good job. great interview.
When this man asked me if I was breathing, I noticed I was partially holding my breath in, meaning I was tensing my muscles. Right after, I released tension from my shoulders and exhaled a little more. Amazing what awareness does. Loved this interview, thank you to both parties! 💖
Thank you so much.. Listening to this interview helped me profoundly.. Tears of relief when Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche spoke about how we may have 9 good qualities but the mind hyperfocusses on that one bad quality and makes it seem like we are just that one thing. And shared how he dealt with anxiety as a child.. It both assured me, that yes, it is my karma and it's something to work through, but it does not mean I am all bad and it does not mean that I can not work through it and become someone one day, that will benefit others, too.. Like he is. One day. It helped me for a moment to let go of extreme anxiety that had me in its grip, or, I let it grip me, how ever you see it, for several weeks now.. It loosend up the grip and tears start falling and I could breath because of the words and the feeling of love radiating from this interview.. Thank you from my heart!
In 53 years I have found meditation the most important and powerful practice I have ever learnt. When you meditate you need not worry about finding truth, truth will find you.
The teachings of Guru Mingyur Rimpoche are truly heartwarming and filled with compassion💗🙏🍀🙏. The other person asking questions also displays a beautiful spirit💗🕊️.
A lot of people seem to struggle with doing daily meditation but I do not have this struggle. I have meditated twice a day for minimum an hour each time for over 12 years. Attending retreats helped me to see the benefits. I fell in love with the dharma and meditation. Unless you love it then it will just become a chore and you will not continue. Of course I have days where it's more difficult and my mind is restless but still I practice and I accept whatever is present.
Thank you for hosting this session and simply love it! Mingyur Rinpoche makes understanding the fundamentals of meditation so simple to understand and I've gained clarity from my meditation practices. Awareness is the key. And love his comment : With awareness, problem becomes solution. Obstacles becomes opportunities.
Great job hosting Rinpoche. As a host you have asked meaningful questions on behalf of us “viewers”. This video is a gem in YT. We are grateful Mr.Rinpoche for your teachings. your guidance made us believe we can meditate too.
I am grateful to learn from Rinpoche, a wonderful teacher to bring peace and love into my mind. I read his books with joy because he teaches what I need to learn . This particular interview with Tim Hahn's perceptive questions is amazing.
rinpoche has changed my life. this may be the best interview i have ever seen because success insider asked several extraordinary questions that i wanted to hear the answers to. thank you both very much!
That´s really great video. I watch videos from Mingyur Rinpoche, but this is one of the best. There are many basic questions we ask ourselves connected with very useful answers. So thank you very much for this video.
"Find awareness, love & compassion and wisdom, explore yourself, and through those 3 try your best to help others" - Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche Thank you 🙏
wow! what a lovely exchange, you asked thoughtful questions that really delved into Yongey's wisdom. i am really impressed that way you followed through his answers :) Thank you so much!
At 86 years of age, I have been meditating for quite a few years. I received instruction on vipassana during a 3-year stay with forest monks in Eastern Thailand. I have now observed a white spiral mental image emerging from my stomach whenever I determine it. I have also observed the room filled with golden light during a churning sensation in my lower spine. Are these forms of nimeta and are they hindrances. I live alone in isolation and without contact with a Buddhist teacher.
It’s very good experienced 🙏🏼 My master said they are not hindrances it kind of reward that you are doing it right! keep doing it like you did before🙏🏼
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏we Are Not broken, their is NOTHING Wrong IN us ( feelings)...... we can CHANGE PERCEPTION w/ a small shift in HOW we talk to ourselves........NO MATTER WHAT!! Tell yourself constantly that you love yourself you accept yourself , do NOT JUDGE yourself❤️ , GOD does NOT make mistakes...........🙏🙏🙏🌿🌿🌿❤️❤️I LOVE YOU ALL.....We are going through this together, let go let God.....( aka- let LIFE unfold🎁🌿🙏)
Intuition in my experience is the bridge from your mental landscape to what it is you are which is that in which it appears. In other words you are not who you think you are.
Meaning of awareness in the western perception is quite different from Tibetan Buddhist perception, awareness of what? Awareness of the logical and reasoned conclusion that your mind is intrinsically compassionate and knows no conceptions or biases. To reach such a conclusion one must be proficient in logic and must have an altruistic mind.
It's so difficult, that I don't have to do anything. Just listing, just watching. I tend to hit the sack, that I have to get rid of something, of fear, of unwanted emotions.
💚 you are fighting the bad emotions.. don’t fight them. Let them be! make friends with them say “ok come, hello!” shift your attention to your breath, and slowly slowly it will be much better I promise you ☺️ps. Read the book
I love your videos. Your holiness don't you want to know and see where the first Tibetan Sangaram was opened solely for foreigners. This is north of Patna on the northern banks of the Ganges. Xuan Zangs lovely book led me to the Sangaram. According to him three Sramanas from across the SNOWY MOUNTAINS (From the area around 'Taro Co' lake in northern Tibet) crossed over to India on a pilgrimage to holy Buddhist sites. Indians fail to understand who they are and no one gives them food and shelter and sometimes beat them up. They were lying by the side of the road dying when the King rode up. He inquired about them and when they told him their story, the King realised a Sangaram was needed for foreigners only where Indians won't be allowed. So this can be regarded as the first Tibetan Sangaram in India. Those days Indians had pierced ears because they wore ear rings. Foreigners had unpierced ears so this Sangaram was for unpierced ears. Those days Indians didn't know about Tibet so this Sangaram was for unpierced years, meaning foreigners. Today that Sangaram is a village and that King is the local village deity. This story proves that Buddhism went to Tibet prior to Xuan Zangs epic journey to India. So Tibetans will have to study how and when Buddhism went to Tibet. Because Xuan Zang seems to infer that Buddhism went to Tibet much earlier than what the great masters claim today. I have made a video on this topic titled, ‘First Tibetan Sangaram in ancient India.’
I truly love and respect Youngey but he remains on the surface level here. If you want to go deeper into mediation and to follow the Buddha's practice I suggest the book called Path to Nibanna. You can find it free online. It wont change anything he already said but it will add more depth and things he said will make more sense. Blessings.
But how do you accept anxiety when it causes chronic physical symptoms that are truly painful and life changing, debilitating. Things that causes you to run to the hospital every night, sometimes calling 999. How do you become friends with that kind of anxiety to be able to cure it?
I am doing meditation daily for about two weeks and visiting the Jeeva Samathi and doing meditation also there， 1.Even when I concentrate on breathing my mind is wandering and also when doing normal work in day it's wandering and throughing a lot of thoughts but still I am trying to do. 2.When i do meditation for a more than 4-5 minutes I could feel some heat between my thumb tip and forefinger tip 3.When I am going to bed i could feel some magnetic force is moving my foot little and keep on moving even if I play God songs .... Can anyone suggest me what is this happening and why?
Desperately chasing happiness, seeing happiness as an end, final goal or something you are entitled to rarely results in finding it. Happiness has become seen as a commodity rather that just one of the range of normal human emotions which by its nature is transitory.

Excellent interview. You asked great questions useful for everyone and Rinpoche gave great answers. Thank you for this 🙏
This is a very very great EXPLANATION
Thanks for the programme
Thinking is neither negative or positive. It is the identification with thought as ours which is at the root of this imagined suffering.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and knowledge about awareness , wisdom, love and compassion

Namo guru...thank you for this beautiful video of Meditation
I love to listen Rimpoche🙏🙏..but It's a pity for all these advertisings interrupting Spiritual Teaching
I was pleasantly surprised by this, it was helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Marvellous video
Always learn meditation from a mediator that walks the talk.
This was life changing ❤️ thanku 🙏
Wonderful, Can't Wait ! : ) 🥰🙏

It’s very good experienced 🙏🏼 My master said they are not hindrances it kind of reward that you are doing it right! keep doing it like you did before🙏🏼
Rinpoche said any kind of phenomena are just experiences so don’t get distracted
I can’t offer any advice but sounds like fascinating experiences you have had in your life.
Look into the visions and experiences of Ajahn Mun when he was training - since you are obviously practicing the Thai Forest Tradition. Blessings.
Sounds like you are a blessed man who's led a magical life and you have a sweet kind smile!
Ad interruptions every 5 minutes really helps to practice awareness as a friend of everything. Unfortunately I'm not there yet.
Thank you so veru much.
love from India

I thank lord in heaven in Jesus christ Amen
Intelligent thoughtful questions. Excellent interview.
Great choice of questions for your interview.
Aware = Love and compassion and wisdom.
Thank you very much
This is an excellent interview. So much value in it. Brilliant interviewer and very wise master.
Absolutely grateful to have bumped into this vid.

Hello, my friend.. Hope to see you...
It's so difficult, that I don't have to do anything. Just listing, just watching. I tend to hit the sack, that I have to get rid of something, of fear, of unwanted emotions.
💚 you are fighting the bad emotions.. don’t fight them. Let them be! make friends with them say “ok come, hello!” shift your attention to your breath, and slowly slowly it will be much better I promise you ☺️ps. Read the book
Thanks for uploading this video...🙏🙏🙏
I've never had a negative thought, they don't exist. It's just perspective.
Buddha bless!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Become familiar with awareness
So if I change my perspective and my reality I'll be able to break free from my chemical dependence
You can do it!
When I fall in the river I need to step out of the river and sit on the bank and observe the river.

panic is worst than negative thoughts

How can I connect with the monk?

Most of the times to be happy we remain unhappy thinking that I am unhappy because I am unable to be happy
Desperately chasing happiness, seeing happiness as an end, final goal or something you are entitled to rarely results in finding it. Happiness has become seen as a commodity rather that just one of the range of normal human emotions which by its nature is transitory.
