Thanks

Good

The main purpose is to allow yourself to think about other things (all the suppressed emotions and ideas), through meditation you let it come up, as he said allow all thoughts and emotions without resistance...only after you run through all of it, then you can achieve that state of clear mind

Not smart.. follower of tradition. Vipassana..this technique called by the name.

What if you think of things that have made you angry... Or you're feeling a little down ? How does breathing help that ?

@@deejay9295 the decaying nature of our breath on which we concentrate will make us to understand the decaying nature of the world around us..the sooner we will grasp this understanding the faster we will unburden our sufferings and pain. When you concentrate on something you get distracted from anything else..in short concentrate/meditate on breathing and get detached from the things you get worried about (for the time being your concentration lasts.) Once you understand the purpose of meditation you will easily initiate to leave your pains and worries behind.

@@deejay9295 that doesn't mean the monk isn't smart. Sometimes you don't have to say anything my guy.

That is why he has the title Rinpoche: precious gem. : )

👍😃🙏🌹

Same

It's not possible to practice the teachings of the Buddha and claim to be a Buddhist....stop looking for an identity.

@@willowfrog33 very inclusive

Everything seems so beautiful about this man, his room, his clothes, his behavior, his words, wish i could have found him when i was younger

@@user-lr7fv6td5y what do you mean by “very inclusive?” doesn’t even make sense

Yes, isn't it fun? Just keep on doing, and watch, and let go of your thoughts, and learn about your mind. Abandon control.

Let the good thoughts come and be aware of turning negative thoughts to positive.

ME TOO! I thought it was just my eyes...maybe it's just the video lighting?

Which time?

It's the lighting coming off the velvet curtain

Maybe he is the Avatar🤔. The last breath bender

try to view them from a non-judgemental lens. I also find that repeating mantra is helpful for staying focused for when your thoughts and emotions become out of hand. keep it up!

You don't do anything. You just observe them and let them pass. When you get lost in them, return to the breath or mantra.

Hi Jegor! Ordinarily, the advice is to breathe in and out through the nose. You can check out our article for slightly more in-depth instructions on meditation: studybuddhism.com/en/essentials/how-to/how-to-meditate

It's just your own mind and thoughts, after all. Nothing to be too afraid of. Best to make peace with the demons, fighting them does not work, in my experience.

I am new to meditation but from what I know, you are supposed to observe the sensations, be it in your physical body or the emotions which you feel in your mind, just let them float like leaves on a river. notice them, sure but then let them float away. Dont fixate on them, dont avoid them or dont hang on to them you can burp and fart during meditation, these are kinda inevitable but you should prolly not meditate after meals or if you are actually sick. hope this helps

You dont know is his life was bad or not just like he dosnt know if your life is bad or not its about how you view your situation someone could be looking at this comment from a place like africa where there are no jobs or no garbage disposal companys or high vis jackets or even sometimes good houses to live in its all about the way you perceive your own life if you think your life will continue to be shit then it will be but if you try new things and start thinking of life more positivley you wouldnt feel sorry for yourself

I would just be happy that i had a job and im not a homeless methhead that could die at any moment without anyone to love him

someone who has actually achieved nirvana/enlightenment wont "feel" bad about a "bad" living situation because they are completely content. They see reality in a completely different paradigm than you do. no attachment = no pain.

The entire purpose of being a monk is you have reached that state of mind where worldly possessions do not matter. They go around asking for food just because it's the minimum thing their body needs to run on. The rest of the day, they are just trying to be one with the forces of the universe. They don't care about savings, living in a flat, living in London etc... But what he is trying to teach us here is how we can work towards reducing the chaos in our mind. You can even argue the Bin Man's position is better than a CEO working long hours who is under constant stress of making decisions that can affect millions of dollars, due to which he probably can't even get enough sleep or give time to his family, plus sitting the whole day probably gives him serious health conditions. The CEO would argue that Google's CEO probably works lesser and more flexible hours and earns tons more than he does. Someone here gave the example of a bin man in Africa. Your life is your life, constant comparison is reducing your own well being. Your thoughts can make or break you. This is the entire point of meditation. Being aware of your thoughts, getting mental clarity, being more calm, positive and conscious.

Its interesting since Buddhism was born in Nepal when people are kind and the nature is fertile so they willing to give a food to bikku
