Change your Mind Change your Brain: The Inner Conditions... 

No matter how much i love all these talks...Google Tech Talks is the TedX of the poor. Please...up your quality in production values!

I have suffered much. But I am teaching myself to happy regardless of outside stimulus. That is the key.

Google employees are very lucky to have these kinds of talks beside their office.

Thank you Google for spreading information that will bring healing to the whole world and our SELVES. This information, for those that embrace religions, crosses all lines of knowledge and spirituality.Embrace this knowledge. Blocking out knowledge because it lacks the vocabulary of your religion will always hurt you. Learn to love the growing process. Live to be 150 if your body allows it to be so. Eat healthy. Love yourself first more than ever. Love others and show them care. Peace is good.

What a wonderful speaker! He has a wonderful way of explaining things. I'd like to hear more of this Rinpoche. Thank you for sharing this.

Matthieu Ricard's voice remembers me of Dr. Strangelove! "Mein Fuhrerrrrrr!!".

Another absolutely amazing video from Ricard. Following the one at the TED Conference, Ricard once more shows how to set grounds to a path leading you to genuine serenity in your life. I absolutely recomend this video and appreciate the funny Ming and everyone else at Google for sharing this inspiring talk. Thank you all!

Thanks for this big gift!

fantastic speech and research thank you.

AMAZING Talk. Absolutely amazing. Thank you.

Informative and entertaining: he is a wonderful communicator.

Very cool! Thanks!

You are right man...Screw the guys who down-thumbed you

End the desire. the fact that you want to feel joy or whatever, creates the desire. Suffering is the second step to desire. Practice mindfulness.

Thank you!

a Scientist and Buddhist monk. beautiful. Gross National Happiness of Bhutan. :)

those are pissing flies, ha ha ha ,this was fantastic made my day ,lighthearted and joyful. just what is needed.

Excellent!

So useful, scientific, and practical

Very inspiring!

great video and download I love Matthew, seems a very kind man, he's French, from France right, there I've met him once in the South off France at the Nalanda Monestery over there, right

thanks, that was great =)

hahahah he is so happy that he wrote a book on hapiness! that just made me happy!

Thank You!!

my way to go Matthew, marvelous, meriviosa

thanks for this

You got that right buddy, Tom Campbell is where it's at. Peace.

Think inside the head instead of out of it. Interesting perspective.

I have read Matthieu's books. They are very inspiring & they're highly recommended, but I hate his 100% security about that our unhappiness is only our personal responsibility. Bollocks.

We are slaves of our physical bodies. Pain, hot, cold, tiredness dictate how we feel. To see the things as they are is something we will never know. We are conditioned by our senses. I agree with you about feelings like jealousy or fear can prevent us from seeing the real facts because our ego. But pain, bad mood is produced by unpleasant conditions that affect directly to our bodies.

love this it makes me laugh and he is wearing a watch.

Do we really need such elaborate experiments to prove that how it is possible for the mind to become non judgemental and it's ability to see the wholeness in everything? When we are able to cognize that I am not the mind, but I have the mind, brain, a body, the limbs to function, faculties to think and do, thru external sense organs, I am thrilled to reverse the process thru inner engineering and find I am in control, not the mind controlling my emotions and actions. Meditation of different kinds are known to work to bring about the internal enquiry. It is possible to understand and experiment different types and zero on the technique best suited, and reap immense benefits.

thank you that was informative and fun tastic

the laast 20 mintues are great...

My opinion of Google has taken a few steps along the positive path.

breath empathise forrgive be happy breath again

Chade-Meng Tan is a funny man. Good to know him.

eliminate desire, eliminate suffering. nothing is permanent

I would envy this man if I wasn't happy myself and if I didn't like him as much as I do.

Meditation as taugh by the Buddha does not require you to believe in anything. In fact the Buddha encouraged people not to believe his claims that meditation can elevate their suffering but to try it or themselves and find out!

25 now

See also _The_Emotional_Life_of_Your_Brain_ which was compiled as a result of these particular studies.

Buddhism is more of an excellent philosophy than a religion, I would say.

I like the guy who gives the intro - anybody know his full name, or if he has a blog?

Go Buddha Man!

🙏

Modafaks, some ideas may be to big of a jump for dealing with depression, like telling someone with a broken leg to run a marathon tomorrow. Some healing and training steps need to be taken. There is an interesting book on mindfulness and depression with practical information, also check out Yapko book on depression. Remember to balance mindfulness with compassion.

Cool

The second-last questioner made a good point when he asked if there have been any improvements to meditation practice to get the number down from tens of thousands of hours to something most of us can do. The truth is, there have been no major innovations in Buddhism in hundreds of years. We could greatly benefit from technological changes to support the goal of faster gains in practice.

Skooma brings me inner peace.

@impermanentoo do you know if this means an arahant is free from intentional action? as kamma is an intentional action.

See the thing is that my anger arises Out of compassion in the first place.

Queen GREG,Whats bringing you to these sites?

@impermanentoo When Acariya Boowa spoke about attaining Arahantship, he burst into tears and cried. He is a bodhisatta, not an Arahant. Also, Acariya Boowa might have incorrectly recorded the teachings of Ajahn Mun, according to Mun's student, Achan Somchai Thitawiriyo. Pure mind? I think not. Do you have a better example of a living Arahant?

@impermanentoo ok thanks for replying i remember now i read a sutta in which one of the buddha's enlightened disciples, actually one of his greatest disciples, suffered a very violent death at the hands of 4 robbers, and the buddha stated that this was because of his kamma from a past life. but as kamma means an intentional action, does this mean that an aharant is free from intentional action? thanks again for all the replies

Ming is a pretty funny guy.

PLEASE... We Spanish speakers need Spanish subtitles. Could anyone have the kindness to do that, please and share that video. Please reply me then. Thank You very much and Bless for all.

his name is Tan Chade-Meng i like him too hes a really good guy. He has a space on the web if u google it :) its funny. bon appetite my friend

@arun6004 His name is : Chade-Meng Tan

I respect you all and i respect your religion or whatever it is "buddhism" but i suffer from depression anxiety and panic attacks since i started my spiritual path... Beliefs that all is god and that i am god are just so terrible for me... I cant feel any joy... I feel empty because of it.... I feel i dont want to live knowing this... But the truth is i dont know it..Other people claim this is true , but how can they prove it ? Infinity is hard to comprehend , maybe creator is outside creation

@impermanentoo What kind of miracle arahat can do? What do you call by miracle? Thanks for helping me with my ignorance, Peter

this man speaks of Maslow's Heiarchy of needs. I didn't know Abraham Maslow was a Buhddist. Lol. neat.

Change your Mind Change your Brain: The Inner Conditions

Sorry for bad grammer :)

i agree, real religious are reflecting love and peace. and yes i cannot stand either people who miss the point, religious well done normaly brings love and compassion and solidarity. no need phd to have some emotional intelligence and make the difference between what s evil and what s not evil. sorry for my bad english. its not my primary language

well

@creativesagehere What?

27 :(

*eleviate

24

I agree, but people commit such destructive acts "in the name of religion," i.e. using religion as an excuse. All religions, that I know of have the common base line of love, peace and happiness.:)

@impermanentoo isnt the teaching of a buddha that an aharant is someone who is freed from karma? and thats why he carnt be born again?

Is Buddhism a religion, or is it a path for the spirit?

ALLEVIATE! haha, I need to alleviate my poor spelling ;-)

Job please Google.

Buddhism is The Tao- Buddhist4Life

There is nothing to worry about christianity.Holy God wants this gospel should be preached in all the nations before the end. So many Christians are killed as martyrs all over the world by the religious fanatics. It won`t stop Christianity, rather it will make it grow. Jesus said those who kill you will think that they are doing it for God. But one they will know that they were jealous for the devil who was behind it. 2000 years the world got the whole revelation of God through the Bible.

By all means you should learn to control your mind/emotions and become aware of Consciousness to understand it supports reality rather than matter mixing together and creating Consciousness. Matter is the byproduct of time, and Mass oscillation powered by quantum gravity creates time. Consciousness/Life has Mass, call it what you like.... its real. However the statement placing fear as the product of chemicals in the brain hides the two naturally occurring reverse pitch tones of awareness responsible for Consciousness being aware of itself in the oscillation cycle. Nature copies itself out of the obvious. And hate is the opposite of fear, not Love like in the movies. It is the separation of the sensation of awareness we call Love into two components of "tonal space" in time maintaining E as a constant within the four oscillation phases of an atom and its antiparticles that creates the time related tone of fear during the phase away state and hate upon it's return in perfect phase with Mass oscillation. And this is not an untested theory: it has been demonstrated and substantiated. Time is the backbone of our DNA, and phosphate/sugar like the electric force and gravity are also in phase with these two arrows of time connected to Mass oscillation and emotion. We see the balance of the two tones adjusted to E's whole single "voice" through time dilation created by the asymmetry of the weak force value in the fine structure constant. e{a}/t=hv In the measured asymmetry of time we have now detected we find gravity using space created relative to time as it's force carrier. Space is not empty yet there is no Mass in the Universe of matter and gravity, only energy. They are of opposite oscillation phase and Mass is only found in a particle's antiparticle formation. Consciousness and the body which includes the forces from far away holding it together are two separate inertial frames of reference and of opposite phase timing. The observed basics of both Religion and Physics are fundamental truths when you establish an inertial frame of reference for Mass and remove the false interpretations and superstitions. A brick wall is still a brick wall, and for all practical applications matter is solid and what it's made of really doesn't matter when you disrespect it's energy that is as real as your own. But understanding it's nature will allow you to control your body's growth on a cellular level in amazing ways and avoid the negative aspects of being a Human made out of atoms in a Universe unforgiving of error made of a lot more creating rocks the size of cities waiting to hit the Earth again making our nuclear weapons arsenal seem small giving us an important job to do above all others. We have leverage on our side and a fortunate point in time to find ourselves in after 37.5 billion years or so but that's all. We must learn to use time along with logic to avoid pain and give Life the experiences it prefers. War is not one of them.... but it is part of the pattern of our information frame to pay very close attention to and stop before Einstein is proven correct again. We have logic and technology now but if it does not control the emotions of the aggressive individuals that seek power and allow criminals to control it then the consequences of war and disorder created without Law will follow the exponential growth pattern in everything we see including space itself and the outcome for Life on Earth will be horrendous due to not taking advantage of a very small window of opportunity we temporarily find ourselves in. Fear is a big problem as it keeps us from accepting the truth to see what is real and react to it. Ignorance is even worse as it results in disregarding reality altogether. Information is made of time stored in space and is not lost. Once you are your sensory state of being information in time is not only permanent, it is increasing in size requiring fast reflexes to avoid the patterns of natural past mistakes to maintain Life in a state critical of needing proper order. We don't recognize the past realities Life exists in. Some you don't even want to know about as this period in time finds Life in a new state of balance in our favor for the moment. A very fragile state with gang mentality supporting greed and ignorance dominating logic and Science still so blind if you gave it the equation that explains gravity most scientists wouldn't even recognize it without the dice attached.

does god talk to you?

Call me! or not ... or aardvark .. and so we will come to know who gets it and who doesn't ... this is going to be gouda .... or maybe provolone in summation ... hub caps (spinners, if you must know) and i figured it out on the natch ... it can be done - as long as your dog has five heads and speaks pig latin ... very important, that part no it's not yes it is no its not yes ...........42 and a half ... with two full twists ... no, make it three ... hell i gotta gooooooooo or not oops out

you only met once,,,,,,hahaha

It requires you to believe in reincarnation.

Gigistekno. Sounds like u wasted your time watching this. Hope you found what you were looking for when u clicked onto this vid.

You say "people have done some horrible things" and then you say "in the name of religion .... ". That's the point; People did these things and the fact that they may have used religion as their justifications should not necessarily reflect on religion, just on the people that did these things and chose to use religion as a cloak to disguise their own individual or collective evils and fears. The flaw is us, not religion. it's our own interpretations and justifications we use to camouflage fears

All Religions teach love and peace thats why i cannot stand it when someone says Religion is the cause of all evil. If you are Religious you cannot cause evil no matter if your Jew Budist Muslim Christian. Religion = Love and Peace................ What a funny world we live in when Religion is associated with Destruction and Killing.

if he is happy, why is he a monk?

il faut travailler!

Bro if im a Muslim and i blow somone up does that make Islam evil ? No i have done injustice to the religion. Yes after the Prophet Islam was spread through Bloodshed which is WRONG however its doesnt mean Islam is EVIL it means the people were ignorent. Same with Christianity Jesus spread the message of Peace and Love however after his death people done so many inhumane things in the name of Christianity. This does not make Christianity Wrong it means people did injustice to the Religion

Try to be happy working eight hours a day, standing up, speaking to no one. Try to change your mind when you are a prisoner. When you need someone and no one comes around. I hate when buddishts try to sell their believes as the panacea of happiness. No ego, no desire, no beauty. Then what. Just the present time taking it as perfect?? Sorry we have memory, and memory makes our lifes comprehensive, otherwise it would be better to be a goldfish which memory doesn't go beyond 5 seconds.

Google anger management classes???

Buddhist monks primarily sell happiness now because the Enlightenment that Buddhism claimed is possible is not being achieved by even the greatest of monks. Matthieu Ricard is "sure" the Dalai Lama is "truly Enlightened" but the Dalai Lama himself says he is NOT and even says he has "a long way to go." So who is dead wrong, the Dalai Lama or Matthieu Ricard? You decide. Asia has many Buddhists skilled at being content in their own poverty. Burma, Tibet, Laos, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Mongolia = POOR

@buddhasknowbest the Lama is definitely not enlightened and anyone who says he is is also not enlightened

@outerspaceym learn another language maybe!?
