Discovering Wisdom 

Imagine if everyone had someone like this close to them; the world would seem very different. Maybe it’s up to us to become that for them.

Video summary/ points: 1:24 Our nature is good. 2:22 But why are we good? What are the good qualities? We all have wisdom, love, compassion, skills, capabilities, powers, knowledge. Some we know, some is yet to be discovered. We are more capable than we may recognise. 3:26 the Buddhist way of seeing things: Vajrayana. Seeing wisdom within the defilements. 3:48 The five poisons / five defilements: 1) hatred / anger 2) desire / attachment / craving 3) ignorance (not knowing) 4) pride / arrogance 5) jealousy 4:13 from these defilements may come problems and suffering, like depression, panic etc, which influences your behaviour - causing disharmony, violence; social and even physical problems. 5:24 These defilements are "man made" - human made problems. This makes us sound bad, right? Not quite. Our fundamental nature is GOOD. But we might not see that while the poisons are at work. 6:22 our mind is like water. Just as the surface of water may have waves, if you go to the depths, you find pure, pristine, still water. The surface is where the defilements are - not at the depths. 7:15 ask yourself: what do I really want? The defilements may make themselves known; the first answers you get may come from the surface level. Anger: "I don't like this" / "I don't want this" Craving: "I would like this!" Ignorance: "I don't know..." Pride: "I'm the best!" Jealousy: "my friend has become better than me..." These all relate to "I"; I want, I don't want. 9:00 now just assume and ask, "IF I can get all these things, THEN what do I really want?" There are many layers, just keep going further. After some time, you'll really connect with your basic wisdom, which is always within you. Note: You may misinterpret your basic wisdom, interpret it the wrong way. 9:36 this basic wisdom is the real cause of happiness, of freedom. 11:03 the basic wisdom is not related to the defilements. It is really genuine. 11:22 so what is the basic wisdom? There is love, compassion. You understand the impermanence of life. The surface claims "permanence"! But deep down, we realise the impermanence. This is where there may be fear and internal conflict. Let the surface mind go. 13:06 when you breath deeply, your mind relaxes. Then you can connect with that basic wisdom. 13:33 so, start with the question "what do I really want" and dive deep. Then you may find something really meaningful. Each person's journey and findings will be different. 🙏🙏🙏

I've been suffering from depression and panic attacks. The Monkey Mind theory and this video have helped me so much. I send it to everyone I think needs to hear it. It brings tears to my eyes. It makes me feel so hopeful. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This man is amazing in the way he simplifies and uses voice modulation, expressions etc. He is blessed one !

Namaste. I just want to share something. His voice, his presence, his nature and the being gives one so much calmness and stillness. That is the most beautiful thing I have ever felt about him. And an great enlightend master, that's clear. Om Shanti 🙏🏾

🙏🙏🙏🙏 repochy la .. may your teachings spread all over the world

Awesome teaching. Dive deep until you reach the bottom, where there is the pearl of wisdom. Hold your breath until you become a fish.

If your watching this video and reading the comment just know you are a beautiful,spiritual soul! Lovenlight 🌏❤️🧘‍♀️

Thank you for your help and guidance. I'll meditate on this in my next session...🙏

I do understand what you are saying. When I was in hospital (just three months for a broken leg) I "learned" myself to become in this pure state. When I came back in the "real world" it became harder and harder to get back in this blissful state of mind. Sometimes I succeed to get back, and of course trying too hard is in fact craving so I can slip out very quickly. I am not sure if it is fair to blame our society but it makes it really difficult. It seems so double that being effortless costs so much effort.

At first person tries to recall his inner world and trying different types of practices and doings , but he easily forgets inner world when busy in world affairs. Then there comes a time when he will become tired of every practices and doings, .. and his sensitivity start to increase. Then there comes a time when his sensitivity becomes so deep that he does not need to remember his inner world but he will get reminder and messages from everything around him and whatever happening inside or outside of him. Everything drags him inside, and he becomes so deep that he starts to understand the inner language which is soundless and formless . Then there comes a time when he will become stunned, surprised by vast beauty , by unlimited joy vaster than any ocean , stillness deeper than any valley. Then he will see his face in the mirror and will be surprised that he never saw and met this person before and everything looks utterly new.

Thank you Youngey Mingyur Rinpoche and Tergar Team 🙏🙏🙏

You are a good teacher so confident congratulations

What he says is 100% true. At 04:05 on five defilements please add "fear" when ignorance is mentioned. Fear is a very powerful force and when he mentions desire or craving add the word lust to our understanding. [plz don't confuse this fear with the 'fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. In English language a given word can have more than one meaning or usages]. I hope this comment will help some of us to integrate this great knowledge from Thatagata - The Buddha into our lives! My pranams/salutations to the Master Rinpoche.

Mingyur is such a great speaker, I always feel happy and inspired after watching his videos. :-) Mindful greetings, Simple Happy Zen

I love the way he says "helllooo"

Mingyur post his near death experience,. While his teachings are very rudimentary, his attainment speaks very Cleary,

I know more great people who know how to live but he is one of the best

You inspire me! And your voice is so relaxing to listen to 😄 thank you! 🌻

Thank you for your teachings. You are so easy going and unpretentious. I am grateful for all your wisdom.

Thank You, Yongey! :)

May all beings be liberated.....Yes, These precious words are causes for freeing every one of us from chains of suffering!

thank your for your teachings. gratidão.

is wisdom like an accumulation of insights of consciousness

Wisdom is more valuable than precious stones. It is not found in the depths of the sea. It is not found on the earth. It is only found in God who gives wisdom to whosoever he wills.

Thank you 🙏🏽 mine was love & companion, with calm 🙏🏽

Really what I want is just peace.

Thank you so much. I was thinking all these days, that WISDOM means, knowing that objects and people exist around you is a FACT. Your thought relate you with objects and make you feel real that the object belong to you. Similarly, this thought make you feel that the person belong to you, which is not a fact. Thought has also created a word called Relationship, husband, wife etc. It make you feel real that he oe she belongs to you and relates to you, which is total mental projection. From that false relationship is born attachment, feelings etc etc. So all these days, I was thinking that this is WISDOM. You helped me understand that my understanding is false. I now understand that the thing behind the words, LOVE & COMPASSION is real WISDOM. I will now try to understand what is the thing behind the word LOVE & COMPASSION. Thank you.

6:25 our mind is like water.

Thank you you inspire the world to be a better place.Hope everybody here feels more connected and closer ,

So grateful for those wonderful teachings!!!❤️🙏🏻

Well done..love from Kashmiri Muslim🥰🥰

Absolute uncertainty is a certainty. Absolute impermanence is permanent. Awareness of both unveils their vacuity, their emptiness, and it brings peace, joy and wisdom to life. From that emptiness (i.e. Sunyata) sprout full potential and freedom.

Solid my friend appreciate you and what your doing...

5 poisons that are the hindrances on the spiritual path that I have read are 1. Sensual desire, craving, grasping 2. Hatred, aversion, anger 3. Stupor/torpor, laziness 4. Restlessness, worry 5. Sceptical doubt

This is really special.I actually think that this has changed my life right on the spot. I guess I must be ready.

Very beautiful story...but only meditators can understand very well.

I so wish for this channel to get so many more subscribers to ensure that he will keep recording these. To me these are very important.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Tank you very much Rinpoche gratitude de nous enseigner, merci beaucoup 🙏🏼🌺❤️🕊

Wisdom is what your nature is, who you are is not wicked or bad as an individual don't resist yourself

Love is patient love is kind, beyond the universe is eternal kindness

Thank you!

Thank you.

What I really want is to exist! Thank you very very much for guiding me to this enlightment!

its so weird whenever i play one of your videos randomly in youtube you are talking about sth i was thinking deeply about in that day:) i still cant understand what do i really want after reaching all of desires the only thought that comes to my head is : if i could let go of all desires and society pressure to be a perticular person i just wish to be happy by every event happens and be carefree exactly like when i was a little child...

Good One and raise my knowledge awarence level... Thank you Yongey

You are a wonderful being…. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and steps for us, who are miles away still but carry on in the path of finding divinity inside.

Wonderful👌👌👌👌

Thanks, 🙏

I love it when this master tell human nature is good, full of love, very compassionate, and etc. We can see how much we can misunderstood in psychology or modern, we assume human nature, opportunist, greedy, corrupt, survival to the fittest and etc. If lot of understand this wisdom, maybe someday we can create society that truly can nurture our human nature.

I wish there was a way to deal with negativity coming from others I’m happy inside and love giving and when you talk I sense my own feeling thank you for sharing.

Amazing and wonderful

A lesson in first principles of behavior, start-return to original, ever-present childhood state of mind, to know what is really real.

Thank You

For the liberation of all sentient beings

Thank you internet.

Feel presence of Padmasambhava-very pleasing thankful

Sir, my father died on 5th of August, I was in grief for 2 days. Then I started to look for meditation so that I can support myself. Then I found your videos and they are very helpful. Now I am really happy and found real wisdom that life is impermanence. I want to join tergar for meditation practice can you please tell me how can I join tergar and make life better of other people also.

His teachings are so cute.

Thank you for this

Thank you very much

Thank you..🙏🙏

Thucheee....Rinpochela.

I want the realisation of being connected with the source, though I am always one with it but deep down socialization led me to believe that I have been separated by it because of my defilements. Exteriors can never fulfill this inside hunger of being one whole again, only love is the solution. Thank you so much 🙏🌸

Great! Master 🙏🙏🙏

You have really good impact on me, beloved teacher ❤️

Thank you Rinpoche

I was asking myself: what I really want to my life, when this videos come. I'm still looking for it, sometimes I feel so sad for don't get the answer, but now I have a way. Thank you, Rinponche

Gratitude in Abundance .You are DEVINE❣ Namaste

VERY GREAT AND EXCELLENT 👌👍👏👏👏

After reading Sarah Jane comment I’m writing this. It does not mean to scare or demean anyone rather sharing my experience. Those who have been suffering from any psychiatric/mental illness, such as depression and never get diagnosed, thinking meditation will cure you completely. My advise is - visit a doctor and tell them everything without hesitation. There’s a difference among being sad, a bad day and depression. Depression could be the tip of an iceberg. Professional suggested medication keeps your problems at bay. Don’t quit medication without advise. If you want to live your life to the fullest medication and meditation will lead you there. One without other problems (depression) will come and go. You will move in a circle. And situation gets worse. Hope Master Yongey will agree with me on this.

Namste sir, i like your way of talking.

Thank u

Hello sir.. whenever I see your videos I start deep breathing 🙏

Thank you ! Love and blessings !💖

His way of explaining this is so easy to understand. I love this.

Very nice. Thank you. Buddhism and the stoic philosophy seems to have much in common. Anybody else know more on this subject?

I try to practice méditation for 4 years now while living in my mother's house , she's quite a big challenge for staying peaceful. She's doing so much in unconscious mode that i can't even face her with her mental violence and manipulation because she's not even aware of it. I can only avoid, and it's equally not an easy job because then she notice i don't play her game and starts being openly aggresive to me ... Not easy

Wonderfull thank you
