Jon is someone I have never mert but when he speaks it is like listening to ones favorite wise realative or friends. He is a gift to the world in my mind.
Thank you so much for sharing this lecture. It is so wonderful to hear Mr Kabat-Zinn speak and to know these conversations about the relevance of Mindfulness in contemporary society are taking place.
Absolutely superb, as always. His talks have replaced what I abandoned by eliminating religion in my life. One of my favorite people. Grateful for his message. 💕
@yyy Zz please expand on what you’re saying. Religion doesn’t own morality, despite every major religion wanting you to believe that. Morals are not always a set agreement... not all people agree on absolute morals. Some are relative.
@yyy Zz “The majority of people are not able nor destined to be IMMORAL” Do you really mean immoral here? It makes no sense. Also, “only very few people are IMMORAL”. Again, the word usage..do you mean moral? Beyond that...it seems your views are rigid and absolute. Morality isn’t the same for everyone. No matter how one would hope so...that’s not reality. Morality can be connected to religion, yes...but often, the facade of morality seems more important to some religions. Or they cherry pick and are hypocrites regarding morality. My end point is that, I don’t agree with your initial claim of the OP not abandoning religion if they have morals. That’s an erroneous conclusion. Many religious people are very immoral and some non-religious people are relatively moral. Religious also doesn’t =spiritual. Religion is more about rules, demands, expectations, conformity...spirituality is about evolving, learning, humility, expansion, connection. Sure, some religions can include spirituality...but it’s not one and the same. Maybe it’s a definition, understanding issue?
@yyy Zz Yes, I completely understand what immoral means. It just makes no sense in the way you used it. Immoral isn’t the same person to person...as far as what moral/immoral mean. There may be basic/big realms that people generally agree on, but much else is up for debate. I don’t agree that only few people are immoral. I tend to believe people are all spectrums of many combos. I’m a grandparent, worked in medicine, with thousands of patients. I have much life and personal experience. I think that while you believe very few people are immoral...I believe very few people are moral. I tend to believe that very “moral” people are like saints, like mother Theresa. I think we are all flawed humans, who have evil and good. Whichever side we are cultivating consistently, is what grows. Too many, in the world, cultivate greed, narcissism, selfishness, violence and the planet and others pay the price. I think we don’t agree on what morality constitutes...additionally, we must not agree on what that means in regards to most humans....and lastly, where religion comes in. I think religion is irrelevant to morality.
Thank you,very grateful.22 minutes listening to the lecture interesting without a topic to focus on but on glorifying the ego ,the self of beings ,dead ,and alive,without paying attention or being mindful of the time and content but listening to voice of the self .Sorry for my feedback at 5.15 minutes in the morning to meditate but find nothing .
It's amazing how Jon Kabat-Zinn says things not all that dissimilar from Jordan Peterson, but from an attitude of (self-)love, compassion, openness, clear voice and relaxed body, rather than struggle, antagonism, resentment, strained voice and cramped body.
Mindfulness is mostly being distant from the thoughts and not working on them, accepting as they are, and just living with what's in front of you. If all people had done this, there would be no people building the apartments or geniuses that create so many stuff.
@@mertefe4345 that's absolutely incorrect. Meditation isn't distancing one's self from thoughts but rather changing one's relationship with thoughts. Those two are completely different things. When I stick to my meditation routine I'm more likely able to focus on the task at hand rather than being bombarded with thoughts that aren't relevant to what I was doing. Meditation brings clarity to my mind. Subsequently, that clarity also brought tremendous focus which is essential in effectively and efficiently finishing a task.
Don’t forget all of this is about mindfulness. Jon himself would probably not want people to put him on a pedestal. It’s about the message. This is not a cult.
Hello dear All, could you please help me by getting in touch with the person(s) who actually manage the organizational issues of Mr. Kabat-Zinn's speaking and his time schedule . My company wants to invite him as a key-note speaker. Any idea could be helpful: web.site, e-mail etc.

You can’t make a generalized, absolute, statement like that. Everyone is on an individual journey..some very educated (like the presenter in this video) and are very “aware”...some who don’t go to university are very stuck and unaware. Some, who go to university, might be overfocused on conceptual ideas...but not all. Same with those who haven’t gone. Ego makes us want to categorize people and feel self-righteous. Btw, meditation is a discipline. Sounds like your thinking mind is distracting you from getting the point and applying it to your own life.
I am glad to hear they have gone into inner cities and prisons. I hope someday they will help first nation people. Who are number 1 in suicides per 100,000 And people of color who are called white people who are number 2 in suicides per 100,000. I know some people will not like me being inclusive and not separating white people from all other people. When we separate we discriminate. History proves it. 💚
It was good until he mentioned the election and politics. James Miller in a book about philosophy taking shots at a politician in a lecture or book that’s supposed to be irrelevant shows we all have flaws. Besides that how’s the current president workin out for you?
Mindfulness is part of the core teachings of Buddhism. Unfortunately, It has been highjacked for commercial purposes. Mindfulness alone is like taking only one of the Christian commandments and ignoring the other nine. Mindfulness, of course, is useful but it only really comes into its own when used with the other teaching of the Buddha. This is not often explained to the general public, perhaps the reason being that it is a rule of Buddhism that no payment should be sought for such teachings.
Gosh, what is this all about and who's this speaker who walks on at about 15:00 and he walks like he owns this place or the whole world. I can't listen to this anymore as there's something not right. That's only my own opinion. But thank you.
It seems to me that a 2 hour lecture is unnecessary. There is nobody there that retains a 2 hour lecture. How about a 10 minute lecture and hours of contemplation. Why not? Need that money 💰
Not only is mindfullness a comple fad, it is also very damaging to a persons mind. It inhibits their ability to seperate real memories from false memories. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Mingyur Rinpoche are the meditation guru. Not this Jon quack. Mindfullness is damging to the mind.
Seems like you don’t understand mindfulness... mindfulness and meditation go hand in hand. Mindfulness is awareness. It is being the observer to your thoughts, not judging, but also not over-identifying with...just witnessing and being curious. It’s absolutely not a fad 😂It’s been around for millennia. Any great, authentic, spiritual leader, has mastered mindfulness. Maybe you’re distracted by the term ‘mindfulness’...and are equating it to something different, therefore overly distracted about what you think the word means? There are neuroscience studies (and they admit that science is WAY behind) on the effects of meditation (which creates a state of mindfulness) and the brain changes associated. Please open your mind...and consider you might misunderstand what mindfulness is. If resistance comes up...that’s likely your conceptualized sense of self (ego) experiencing resistance. Hope you’ll reconsider.
I COULD LISTEN TO THIS MAN FOREVER. AND I DO , I LISTEN TO HIS GUIDED MEDITATIONS EVERY DAY.

Realmente maravilloso e inspirador Jon Kabat-Zinn, muchísimas gracias!

It was really useful to me to be reminded of these basic truths, and especially to hear them from someone who obviously lives them!

Morals are not always a set agreement... not all people agree on absolute morals. Some are relative.

This is not the chicken soup for the soul, this is the soul.
Thank you. So encouraging. Needed the reminders.
Just listening to JKZ makes me feel better. He is the kind voice I wish I had in my head (I try).
what a treasure to have access to these messages.

Great lecture, great soul! Heart, mind, compassion. 🙏

Agreed, Peterson is very skeptical of mindfulness I wish he'd read the literature on it
They both bring wonderful and powerful ideas to the world.
Mindfulness is mostly being distant from the thoughts and not working on them, accepting as they are, and just living with what's in front of you. If all people had done this, there would be no people building the apartments or geniuses that create so many stuff.

is so wonderful to hare thank you so much for sharing this video
I had a little chuckle listening to this at the top of this "Mindful, Demour" Trend on Tiktok
....the problem is we take our thoughts so seriously.... Very wise
Awesome!
Jon’s lecture starts at 15:15
He starts his talk 15 minutes in.
Thanks and thanks
Haha thanks man 😁 I nearly turned off listening to the woman drone on! Ha
Excellent as always
@@mrtambourineman6107 maybe that was an opportunity for you to practice non-judgmental compassion, mindfulness ☺️

how do i spell tsun zanine? 57:00
It sounds like Sun-sang-nim. Since I speak Korean, I know what he means.
@@bme5274 oh so its more of a title than a persons name?
@@hamig306 Yes, but no. For him, he wouldn't be just a teacher. He was more like the teacher for him.
if you have a degree you are even more further back than the unlearned, because your soul is berried in knowledge and discipline

Maybe check out Eckhart Tolle

It's a wonder Americans have any time for stillness. They are either talking at conferences or writing books. Seriously. Must be an obsession there.
It’s easy to speak ignorantly of things one knows little to nothing about 😊

Lost me when he started using anti-white slurs.
Too long. Could all have been said in 10 minutes. If mindfulness does this to you, avoid it !
