Three Lifelong Skills with Meditation by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche 

Three Lifelong Skills with Meditation... 1. Wisdom ( seeing thing as it is) 2. Learning okay not to be okay ( makes problem as opportunity to learn and grow) 3. learning to be present, not lost thank you Rinpoche 🙏

I learnt shamatha meditation from HE Mingyur Rinpoche in Bodh Gaya in 2017 and 2018 during the Kagyud Monlam Chenmo . Mingyur Rinpoche's teaching on shamatha was brilliant and so simple to understand . I still meditate with Rinpoche using his RU-vid videos . I was doing meditation for one month everyday for 2 minutes and then in January my beloved father passed away . I was crying hopelessly at first but then when i got back home and did shamatha and contemplated the teachings on impermanence a deep sense of acceptance of the frugality of this samsara filled my heart. I concerntrate on prayers and butterlamps for my father and doing gyelwa on his behalf . Even after 49 days every prayer I make is for him and all sentient beings who are in bardo . I kept my mind at peace and my father visited me in my dreams many time and assured me he is alright . That was the power of shamatha to me and I am motivated to get higher and higher in levels of meditation. My father was the person I loved the most in this world and I accepted his death so now no one's death will break me in this world. I am free from the fear of death of loved ones. If I can let my father go I can let go of anyone in this world .

THE LESSON When we confront discomfort: 1. See things as they are without adding our judgments. 2. Learn to accept the unwanted, recognizing that it will exist regardless of our wishes. We cannot escape from it, but we can change our perspective and transform it into a tool for personal growth, helping us to better handle it the next time we encounter it. 3. Not being lost - being present. How? For example, through breathing meditation: direct your attention to your breath. As long as you continue to feel it, you are fully aware. When you forget it in favor of other things like thoughts, you become lost. However, by remembering it, you become aware and present again. You don't need to stop thinking; you simply ignore it by gently redirecting your attention back to your breath.

Through dzogchen you realise the space of your awareness as well as reality. Phenomenon, simultaneously arising within the space of rigpa. Eventuality you get so good at it that this recognition is effortlessly achieved. You become the space of the internal experiencer. And you go so far into this space where you realise what the buddhas are saying. You understand theirs no difference between a buddha and a sentient. You realise the essence of where the potentiality for both buddha and sentient. You realise the nature of it very profoundly, which when you first realise it, you go into shock of anxiety but you then as an advanced trekcho practitioner, go into it again and again and you realise buddha nature and that it doesnt make a difference whether youre an ant or Samantabhadra or what. It doesnt matter. What would it matter when you see buddha nature. You see the condition for the potentiality for a buddha or a sentient, its all the same, you see where that came from. True buddha nature

Thank you for all your videos. A very nice man introduced me to you. And I’m so glad he did. Have a wonderful day ❤

Basically he has taught Vipassanna just now ❤😊

Three lifelong skills: 1 natural breath, being with the breath as it is, is the beginning of the development of wisdom 2 if worries come, to do lists, no need to stop them: let them come let them go 3 You're not lost, you're with the breath: "short time, many times". 1 be with situation as it is, be clear and present with that 2 mistake, problem somewhere, obstacle: let them come, let them go. Learn from them, we can grow from problem. 3 Don't get lost completely, you always come back to you work, your study, your relationships with others.

Wow the first one is very relatable for me. I have this thing I do where I blush when a conversation becomes dry because I feel pressured to say something to keep it going, but then my mind dwells on the fact that I feel pressured and try’s to make me think of something to say quicker. It’s a constant cycle and it ends up with me blushing and feeling embarrassed about it for some reason (idk why) and leaves me feeling like a fool. Very nice video

So grateful to have your teachings 🌷🌷🌷💗💗💗

Today I listened to this great teaching at the beginning of the week that I will move to Minneapolis where I hope that Mingyur Rinpoche will become my teacher. I've been a Buddhist since 1987, and heard two talks by him in person. I've been a certified meditation instructor for thirty years and I consider him one of the world's greatest teachers. Many of his teachings are on his Tergar website, many for free. Whatever obstacles you have run into there is a good chance you can learn much from him and the other teachers that he authorizes to teach new students in many locations.

I love the way you teach meditation. I thought I was never going to be able to. Since it’s very hard to quiet my mind. Thank you

May long live Lama Buddha Dharma and Sanga..🙏🙏..

Thank you for the precious teaching, Rinpoche-la.

Even I can do this. Thanks 😊

Thanks You Rinpoche

Thankyou venerable Sir, It helps me much as I get lost in thoughts because people around me are difficult.But this is very practical I started doing and IAM so happy I am progressing though slow. at. last I have a way out .much merit to you. I always listen to your talks.

thank you rimpoche

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤may you live long Rinpoche may your path be free from any obstacles

That was such an enjoyable lesson in wisdom, life through meditation, and so clearly expressed, thank you Yongey 🙏

This was really helpful. The concept that out of the practice of simple awareness comes an understanding of truth, how things really are. And from an understanding of how things are rises wisdom.

Our very simple n Great Yongni Mingur Rinpoche chog 🙏🙏🙏 SKU KHAM ZANG 🙏 n SKU TSE RING🎉🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much for sharing, it's always very uplifting and inspiring. Much gratitude for your teachings, they've helped me to grow and navigate many hard times, I honestly don't know where I would be without your help. Much appreciation and admiration always :) 🙏

I felt that with sleep MANY times. I've learned since that, not thinking about it is the best way to sleep

I love your talks Mingyur Rinpoche. So simple, even I can do it!

As an amazing man. I cannot tell you how he has helped me and helping me on my spiritual journey for life. You are a true treasure. Thank you 🙏🌞 Bye Stuart

Thank you. 🙏

Thank you so much. You're teaching's have saved me from being consumed by my panic attacks, now it's very, very rare I have one. At first, several hours a day, and I meditated through them. These teachings have really helped to alleviate deep suffering in me.

Thank you, Rinpoche-la, for this and for the great teachings in person last week in St. Paul, MN. I learned so much, meditated a lot, and made new friends. ❤🙏😊

Thank you so much, Rinpoche. Best practical meditation teaching ever! Thank you so much for making this profound teaching into such understandable language, so we can understand it. It is like you integrated your meditation experiences, and shared it from your heart directly into our hearts. Thank you so....much!!🤗💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

THANKS A LOT. 🌹❤️🙏🌈

So calming 😊 So clearing 🙏 So centering 🥰

Great at helping me understand meditation further. Thank you for your video.

After a long time practice of being awareness, I can now see emotion being triggered by certain incident. I recognised it I am ready for it and I manage not to act physically verbally or other behaviour when it's motivated by anger or other bad emotions...

Thank you so much! 🙏🍎🍕

Thank you so very much Rinpoche 🙏🙏🙏🕯️🕯️🕯️

About a week ago I received meditation music. I think from you relax nature I really love the 25 min video with the pictures of fingers holding prayer beads. I changed phone companies and now can't find that video. If you sent it could you please send it again. Thanks

Thank you Rinpoche 🌈🌻

I just love the way he says "normally"

you have such great soul

I have been a follower for several years and your teachings easy to learn and so helpful. I'm sure there are many lessons that delve deeper and become more of a challenge. As you have mastered those perhaps you would like to share a few with us. I know you have sessions one can pay for, some of us are on a fixed income but still could benefit from your wisdom. Just a thought......a good thought. Thank you for being. Namaste.

Thank you !

Thank you so much Master🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I guess i found my Guru....hoping best out of best...bless me with some blessings Rinpoche🙏🙏🙏 i wanted to learn meditation for long time ..

When you love the Buddha as much as Ramana Maharshi, you find your attention sitting on the fence between going into the body and going into the knower of the body.

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche,what to do when you try to watch the breath on its own and stop breathing following me have to take and watch intentional breaths for about 7 minutes until there is some distance from thoughts and start to feel that settling in feeling. 🙏🏻 much love and appreciation for all your teachings.

Your videos are such a blessing, I have been trying to turn my life around after reaching a low point and your mediation guidance has helped me, and motivated me to gain this peace. Thank you

Thank you 😊
