I'm 63 and have grown up as westernized as they come. Strive for education, success in career, money, social status. Even the religion of my youth was essentially competitive ("ours is best"). And now, all i want to do is drop it all like one big giant weight and move into something else. Retiring later this year in Thailand where I love Buddhist culture. I am so grateful we live in an age where something like youtube brings this delightful teacher and his wisdom into the world. (Beats cat videos, for sure). I feel that the universe has given me a gift by opening my mind to this ancient wisdom.
Now I feel like doing meditation without fail because the way you described it very simple interesting and easy Mygratitude and thanks to you Rinpoche❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great, it's a life long journey indeed. And it goes one day, one seating, one mindful step, even one breath at the time... With lots of roller-coasters 🙏❤️☺️
Hi, I am pretty sure that meditation is to be simply aware of your sensations and not to actually meant for removing any diseases or discomfort. In becoming aware your mind changes, because you are aware that you are not your disease.And you are not your disease. I have heard of things like prayer and positive thoughts are good for healing.
It's not the goal of meditation. And craving or wanting that would be an obstacle to obtaining it. But in rare cases it can come as a "side effect". There are reports of healing through intensive meditation retreats in Burma... There is a book in English about it actually. I forgot the title. But it's connected to Mahasi Sayadaw, and U Pandita maybe... In any case, meditating, awareness, helps us to deal with pain and with reality as it is. May you be well 🙏❤️
Ajahn Brahm mentions many cases of people curing illnesses cancers etc.. through meditation. Not because you are meditating on the illness but instead no longer feeding it habitual negative emotion but compassion instead. So things big and small can subside by themselves. 😲😀🧘♂️
It’s too bad the gentleman in the audience didn’t convey the question about having no head correctly. I think what he was referring to is a book by Douglas Harding entitled “on having no head” in which he came to the realization with his eyes open that where his head should be, there is only the world. This is actually quite a deep topic. I would’ve loved to hear rimpoche’s take on this.
See Chogyam Trungpa's picture on his wikipedia page... the position of the raised arms with the palms facing out to the world, Tibetan symbol that the "I" is the outer. "I" am not an inner me but the inner "I" is the entire world. Similar no? 🧐🤔
Samatha meditation is just having awareness of thoughts, sensation,emotions, objects. Vipasana meditation is awareness on breath. My suggestion is for beginners samatha is better than vipasana Watch goenka videos on vipasana u will get guided meditations. I hope u r clear thank u

My experience with counting is that at some point you are at 13,14 euhm... oops :p
That's exactly the point. When you are able not to go past 10, your awareness and concentration Will have reached a higher level
How can we use meditation to help the body to free itself from diseases? How does the "awarenes" help in this release of disease? Thank you!

There is no such concept of boss. It’s the way that genuinely respect and faith for each others
