- A speech that will leave you with many questions to ask yourself.
Own your life!
Life doesn't get any easier. You are getting stronger! Master Shi Heng Yi (释恒義) is the headmaster of the Shaolin Temple Europe (歐洲少林寺) and takes over in this function the physical as well as the mental training of the novices, disciples and master students of the monastery in Otterberg / Germany.
His goal and endeavor is not only to explain and convey theoretical principles in an understandable way, but above all to make this knowledge practical and tangible in daily life, and usable for people.
For more than 30 years, Master Shi Heng Yi has been studying and practicing the interaction between mind and body. His strength is the ability to smoothly combine this knowledge with physical exercises and to practice Martial art -Kung Fu and Qi Gong. He has an academic background but he prefers to live at the Shaolin Temple Europe, Monastery located in Otterberg, Germany. Since 2010 he has been taking care of the settlement and he personifies the sustainable development and spreading the Shaolin culture and philosophy. As a contemporary monk, Master Yi holds a smartphone in the folds of his clothes as he sees no contradiction between living together with ancient knowledge and high technology. “The universal law of being successful and happy at the same time means finding the balance”, says master Yi. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
"Knowledge without practice is just book Knowledge' 👏👏
Translate to English please:
Ага, конечно. Обычное знание - это просто знание, и ничего другое. Если не практиковаться, то, конечно, знания и навыки отпадут, но они останутся - закон сохранения знаний в природе. В этом не согласен с монахом. А так, да, умные вещи говорит человек. Правда, всё равно есть угроза заснуть от философии.
Don't let knowledge stand in the way of truth.🙏
@@pauldickinson5316 You're great philosopher, congratulations.
@@A_Ivler You are great at english, thank you. Пусть война скоро закончится.🙏
@@A_Ivler you don,t have to agree to disagree,everyone has different of capacity,your cup may b full, other may differ,knowledge is the same,if it from the heart than constructive ,from the head destructive!,
''The Future doesn't matter if you are not there''
Yeah, so is the... present. As most of us think about past, what could have been, or the next day, the future.
Who trully lives in the present? As life is just a bunch of short "moments of time" or "short moments IN time", right now, in the present.
Such simple concept(s), yet so difficult to achieve, as most of us is not conditioned to do so.
The best I've ever felt in my entire life was when I lost over 150 pounds and became a martial artist. At my peak, I felt untouchable. I felt godly, literally. And I say that completely without any ego or attachment. All I'm saying is he's right. We are too weak and lazy. Cave men didn't have time for depression and neither should we.
How many of you noticed he explained "Choice" and thanked once for the "Chance" and left the "Change" for us to work with.
Wow
Duuuuhhhh.
Good catch ❣️👍🏻
You have the choice to be a better person than to leave a sarcastic comment like this@@weeki_wachee
Very good observation, but the three are meaningless without any concept of wisdom.
"The most beautiful people
we know are those
who have known defeat,
known suffering, known struggle,
and have found their way
out of the depths.
They have a understanding of life
that fills them with compassion.
Beautiful people don't just happen,
they're created through hardship."
👍Amazing!!
hi ahmed, is this quote from Master Shi Heng Yi? i really like it .
Excellent
- Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
I'm truly impressed by his hands and arms. They tell their own story. One of dedication, discipline and perseverance.
1. His voice is really calming and captivating
2. The things we must all contend with are "choice", and the "consequences" of them
3. Mental strength gets you through, so it's worth investing in. Resilience.
4. Physical activity can build mental resilience and impact a kind of wisdom.
So true about physical activity. I discovered this with strength training and yoga. They really are gentle and easy ways to build resistance and overcome adversity.
I I travel in asia 16 yaers and i do zazen just seeat and do nothing for long time keep no mowing body take strong skills posture . Then I meet people do yoga iven kung fu body bilding and when some of them camm to do zazen retret for long time 10 days or 3 moths meny run away mind and emocion take them out they cannot do....Why is so dificult for meny to do so simple action just to seat doing nothing. When we seat douwn do nothing we face the reality of mind body and emocion and mental fomacion wich change like sesone time but we still unmowing thats the secret to become peace joy and no suffer

As a psychotherapist, I can relate to his thoughts. Too many people living in their heads, too many theories, so less practice, disconnecting body or using it as a mechanical and performative tool. Such a simple, concrete and powerful ted talk ❤
The man literally beats a stick with his own body in front of a crowd and then says: ‘now the stress is gone’.
Doesn’t that make you second guess his coping mechanism ?
It serves to remove aggression I assume
@@madalinmd1119 I think everyone has to cope with problems in their lives, that's what makes us human. To completely remove problems would be to remove our humanity.
Then your license should be revoked
My psychotic can beat up your psychic.
This man is an amazing teacher. From ways of the warrior to spiritual guidance and self discipline. Every word this man speaks is priceless wisdom 👏
He is Aang from last Airbender ! As a Buddhist myself I love the wisdom he shares. We need more wisdom in the world
Started exercising with this brother about two years ago when I stumbled upon his CZcams channel. Mind you, I was 65, female, and was in the midst of a major emotional crisis at that time. But my life had been one of athleticism since my youth, so I went for it. It was DIFFICULT!! But you know what? I kid you not. Within two weeks of constantly losing my balance, holding positions that I never thought I had the strength to do anymore, and just continuing to show up, there was a physical, mental and emotional shift in me. I knew that I had found what I'd been searching for. I LOVE working with this Master. ❤
What is the YT channel called?
His first Ted Talk literally changed my life. This one has refreshed and renewed my perspective for sure!
me tooooooo
Me too. I am currently enrolled in his Self Mastery course. If you do the work and pay attention, you will be rewarded 10-fold.
@@michaelfforte he’s a fraud. He’s a Polish American called Andy Stefkovic who used to front the metal band Dead Horse. His regular accent is pure Brooklyn if you listen carefully he slips up every now and then… he’s a paid actor look it up.
Did it though? :D
@@AnnhilateTheNihilist Are you referring to Shi Heng Yi?
I can see the level of faith and confidence in his eyes, in front of thousands people... tough man.
This man has gone through god knows what kind of hard work.... Just look at his hands.... This man has gone through alot.... Respect for this guy
I came down here for this comment.
Most of us do man... a lot of people who you didn't hear about (or haven't hear about). Maybe even your co-workers. Go through a lot. Pure grind and pain of everyday life.
At the end, we don't know what is going on in another life, another person, what kind of internal "demons" this person is fighting through, or what kind of personal problems are in their lives. We never do. All we can do is our best, that sometimes we notice that, in the other person, that maybe something is wrong there, or the person needs help. But in most cases... we won't. We have our own "demons" to fight with, our day to day struggles.
But I bet that guy would. He would notice it. Straight away. And he also would have been there for us at that point.
Edit: usual stuff > grammar/spelling.
what's wrong with them?
@@user-eb5mz6vb8n they're literally inflated and bruised
Even the last sentence "Nice evening!!" shows how present he is ,living in only the moment!!
Right👍 “Life doesn’t get easier, you get stronger”
I love his Truth, as he lives it, speaks it, and exemplifies it in his entire being. He is totally inspirational for our world on every level, this is clear!
Leading by example. It was always meant to be that way. Always. ❤️
~ APRIL LIPKE
It is THE truth.. its just that we can "see" a fraction of it...
Very convincing .Thank you ❤️
😊
He's so eloquent and knows how to pass across information.
Agreed very important that’s how I make my own decisions. OWN YOUR LIFE: “What the ordinary one seeks is in others. What the wise one seeks is in himself.”
Damn this guy is so smart and the way he explains things…..that’s our life.
Much simpler than the first Tedx talk. I think in the intervening years it’s just become so abundantly clear that the hallmark of modern society is now the glorification of weakness and uselessness, so 师傅 just gets straight to the point now. Great talk.
Great call bud; on the hallmark of society. Great call.
We have forgotten that the simplest way to gain wisdom is simply application with whatever art or goal you choose .love it enough to not stop even if you fail
Sifu Shi Heng Yi reminds and teach us what is the base of living an healthy and peaceful life, in our daily lives.
It’s just to being more physically in motion, moving our selfs as much has we can. If give look on people living in far of cities and Civilizations advance through Technology, we can see that they live longer and healthy, because they don’t take the bus, they choose to walk. That’s all
His first TedxTalk is one of the best insightful speeches I have came to know in my short life.
His apperance and the way he talks makes him very authentic, all he said make sense and he should be seen more in public
It is a PRIVILEG to listen to YOU.
Тhank you so much for your online presence.
Great speech. After I came across Shi Heng Yi's Videos almost 3 years ago I started practicing the Ba Duan Jin (8 Brocades Exercise) daily at home and it helped me to balance physically and mentally, change parts of my life, helped as a routine through tough times, strengthened me during good times. And it activated anchient wisdom, which is stored in our bodies.
A few months ago I stopped with this exercise. I had to and wanted to adjust my routine, because of body issues and because my body asked me to activate a different kind of energy. So I switched to something totally different - succesfully. It now slowly came to an end.
And for 2 days ago I kept hearing "Ba Duan Jin" first thing after waking up. So I started again with great joy and kept some of the routine from the past months 😀 What a treat. I love the intelligence of our bodies ❤️
You are a gift to this world, thank you Shifu 🍃🤍🙏
That just might be the most powerful moral of a story I ever heard.
thank you again legendary master, one of the wisest people alive
"Too busy with their body, too busy with activity to be depressed" I can attest to this because of my job. When I am at work, I am usually in the best mindset. I tend to forget bad things going on in my life, such as bad grades, getting over a girl, your family at home, whatever it may be. It still occupies my mind at work sometimes, but often, since I am working with my hands digging holes, carrying heavy things, moving stuff, or installing things in the ground, I am a bit more at ease.
So, are you working 80% of your time?
You have changed my life. Completely and forever 💗🙏🏻🇦🇷
YES ! I began training at age 50. I saw Shaolin rope dart and was amazed. I have hurt myself many many times. I can now do rope dart and meteor hammer at full speed. The weaker this world gets , the tougher I become. Shaolin martial arts saved my life.
This talk will ‘upset’ a as it will hit various spots but it’s so to the point. Such wisdom on the path of self-mastery.
His forearms…
This one left a different feeling, compared to the first talk. I don't know if Master Shi reads any comments, probably not, cause there are too many... But I'd like to thank him for the talk he gave us. This was a great talk, and he is a great speaker. I'm just a guy from Russia, but I'd also like to further share what I think on the matter of the missing link.
Care and discipline take a lot of energy. I've been feeling lately, that our energy is only that much, for every one of those 8 billion human beings. Each is given their own natural amount of daily/weekly/monthly/yearly energy. Then we have the mentioned choice.
It is also my observation, that we don't always realize the total expenditure and where exactly does it go. How much of that energy is taken by what we do over the day? It's not easy to track, since we are talking about psychic energy, not physical. If you are out of physical energy, you muscles can not move. If you are out of psychic energy, you thoughts can not move and you are left with your default state. Which may happen to be... Depression. Or apathy. Depending on how you were brought up and how much of that sweet care you've received.
Meditation and physical excersize may (and will) help you change the default state and give you a solid ground for your life. But. If you find energy for meditation and excercize. If you struggle to find it, then maybe you have already exchanged that energy for something else. Maybe something you don't actually need?
Maybe. Just maybe, it so happened that you'd been shown ways to trade your energy, that are far away from being optimal or even useful to you? It is not your fault, but it is now your responsibility to notice this kind of thing, since you do already own your life, even if you do not fully accept this fact yet.
👍
Браво, Евгений!
@@lalitspeaks Thank you.
Wow this was powerful
can related, have been realising it more and more recently until this video brought to that sort of topic.
i have been really empty recently, being at the default setting of myself these days, i was really thinking of getting energy from some where else, and that thing was, to go out and meet people, just simply doing things, like the Master Shi said. and i did, which this video really confirmed about it, as well as what you said. Thank you, and hope this comes to more realization to others as well.
have a wonderful day.
Attitude is people’s issue when it comes to life’s problems. If you can change your attitude, you can change your surroundings. If you can change your surroundings, you can change your life. If you can change your life, you can change your world.
I'm so ecstatic that i heard him i really wanted to hear this speech 🙏
Deepest thougt provoking Truth ever... Physicality!!!! The body when active will teach the fragile mind to put down the thoughts of I cant Do It ... The Body temple is the key. And I've been a victim of my mind over my body for years now. Thanks Shi Heng and Shaolin for the Push. He's right how many lives change by watching motivational podcats... I will be back to post my rediscovery and words of encouragement to others. Practice
Look how peace he is fully intuned with surroundings the shaolin are amazing top tier martial artist and teachers .
The connection they have to their surroundings and control over every aspect of their body is something I am very envious of, I hope to reach that point one day
Your words has made a strong impact on me two years ago, I have started new journey of transforming myself , its a life time journey,I am so thankful for everything. I love what you do, all of you. Bless you.
After implementing a morning meditation, stretch, and calisthenics has drastically improved my work ethic, mental health, and anxiety I encourage anyone that feels overwhelmed to take it slow and learn something new relating to fitness everyday to implant in your life.
You are special and you are loved I hope you have a lot of success on your journey. ❤
This is so inspiring, it really helped me see what I can do to implement more physicality in my life ❤
One thing I keep learning from munks and even fictional characters like dumbledore or gandalf, is that they give their advice in such a mystic and simple manner, that allows the receiver to think for themselves rather than getting the answer right away. I've found that even speaking in riddles or asking questions rather than giving an answer can be a really great thing when giving advice.
I agree with his arguments about depression to an extent. The increase of individualism is also another contributing factor. When our brain's wiring is incompatible with society, a brain that thrives on connections and community, the side effects are anxiety and depression.
Developed collectivist societies are no less suffering than individualistic countries when it comes to depression. They tend to have different reasons behind it, though.
ShiFu Hengyi's virtue teachings and his wonderful performances, in order to encourage the public to bring physical activities instead of talking. Create our good lifestyles and affect to our surroundings. No conflicts, peace, unite and bring to the Harmany. With greatest respect to him, he is blessed with everything 🐉💪🙏
I have so much love and respect for this man 🙏🏼❤️
Wow, short, sweet, & to the point, most motivating, & inspirational, words of wisdom that moved me! Shifu, what a privilege for us your public--glad you're in the world for us to hear & see--and the world is better for it.
It is always a joy to listen to the wiseness of Master Shi Heng.. And as he soo rightly said to put into practice what we are watching and listening to if this is what we are all searching for!!! . Peace and giving love and a meaning to our treasured lives ❤
Thank you Shifu! I learn a lot listening to you. And I feel myself in a higher vibration, so it's not only about knowledge. Thank you!
A great Máster! I dare to say that HIS SEEDS HAVE BEEN PLANTED in those who are open to this philosophy. I really appreciate his transmission!
The world needs this man. Thank you shi heng yi for your wisdom. I get fired up everytime I hear him speak about things. Society is weak. 100% I agree. The take away, get physical, move your body, puts you in tune with yourself, relieves tension in the body (movement does), so many benefits. Then I think about where all this is coming from, how old is the shaolin temple? These teachings are not new, they are old but they are the way. There may be different ways to achieve the same discipline in different cultures yes, results are the same. Great video again.
I cried during the 17 minute mark, he is spot on and we just ignore ourself.
Love Master Shi Heng Yi! Wise beyond his years and so good at teaching and helping me understand. And let’s not forget about that sense of humor ! 😍🙏🏼
Your wisdom keeps me inspired.
"Doing cool stuff, that looks nice..." Lmao. All joking aside, this is a good lesson.
"Fulfilment of desire is of personal value. Fulfilment of vision is of global value." That's such a great perspective.
😂
Although spoken to thousands (maybe millions) this talk felt different. You seemed much more at ease and very much yourself. I'm glad you got the chance to share the message. Very much needed in our sick world.

I’ve learned a lot from experience and teachers in my life. Now I have a few more pieces of wisdom… that I had not yet connected to. Thank you very much. Many blessings.
I have so much respect for this man!!
Love him!
Thank you, master Shi Heng Yi!
I haven't seen his first talk, but I do know it's a rare feeling that someone deeply believes in what they're saying, and that's exactly how it felt listening to him.
It was the same for me with Kano, Liu Kang, Rayden, Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Sonya...
After all, how else you are going to test your might!
@@tannhauser5399 bruh
One of the best speakers!!!!

What a powerful presentation! Shifu, you are a speaker, + your words do take a life of their own.
"We need to make us stronger again"
Thank you for a nice speech teacher.
Love this. Beautiful positive wave you are sending around sharing this! Appreciate you guys!
It's nice to see his personality in this talk. And what he is saying makes perfect sense.
What an incredible talk. So much truth and power. Much respect and gratitude to Master Shi Heng Yi for sharing this message.
His wisdom definetly speaks loud!!
I always learn good things from Master Shi Heng Yi. Thank you! 🙏🏼
This master needs more attention!
Thank you
You know when you know. I like his humility and honesty and in the way he takes his time to express himself. There's a calmness about him. He's a simple man, but not an ordinary man. This is the type of person, people listen to. Thank you Master Shi Heng Yi.
I aspire to find my own truth and discipline and wisdom like this man. I appreciate how he gets straight to the point about doing the actual thing, not just thinking about it. Action is required to make any change. Thank you Shi Heng Yi. Hopefully I can apply this knowledge you shared with action.
Excellent, concise, to the point, he practices what he preaches, he knows of what he teaches. Thank you Shi Heng Yi
What an amazing human being 🙏
Thank you sir
If you thought the bundle was going to break say me too ✌️😅
He is amazing. Changed my life
strength, grace, and brilliancy, that is what he embodies.💪💪💪
Love you Shi Heng Yi! You are an inspiration to me!! 💙💜💙💜
I do agree that physicality helps things like depression.
I can confirm this. Finding the right exercise is important. For me, jogging helps the most.
Trying to get me to exercise when I’m depressed is like asking an amputee to move the fingers of the arm that was cut off
@@jakubLonghorn I am with you. I slept this whole weekend and my family we had a birthday for my brother. I just couldn't get out of bed. It's so horrible!
@@jakubLonghorntry simple morning walk.
Depression costs by bad micro bacteria if it junk foods it’s doesn’t matter people go to gym I know this same bodybuilder and athlete and ordinary people suicidal even killed them self because bad micro bacteria control your brain cell where do you think thoughts came from? All relative each other so if you got healthy gut you more happy if you got bad bacteria you are not healthy and doesn’t produced positive thoughts that thoughts affect your day life and your future
Hello. I want to let you know you are one of my mentors. Im learning and practicing your teachings,Is a blessing in my life to learn from you, to find my self, to master my self day by day!. Thank you sooo much for sharing with compassion and love .
Muito obrigada mestre.você é sábio.
Thank you, Master Yi
I decided today that i would get myself out of bed early and start taking walks, just by myself, to regain the stamina i have lost as of late. It felt great to get outside and move the body. I got to spend time with myself and really accept & cherish the things i value, and make a change to self-improve. I know what i want, and as long as there is time, will keep heading towards it.
Lovely to listen to honest and open perspectives like his talks.
There is always hope as long as you can call it today. Now is the moment. Time waits for no one but is always there waiting to see our choices and then takes us there
I been watching motivational videos since 2012, took me 10 years of research to find out you have to literally reprogram your subconscious brain or you’ll never change..I been doing it for the past 4 months, hope it works..this is awesome, learning the teachings of other cultures strengthen your being also.
Thankyou so much for sharing this Shi Heng Yi.
You are a wonderful soul.
Thank you legendary master, you are the best!!!
Thank you master for shedding light towards this approach, oh well, your hand has taken a toll and it must be worth it 🍃
You are the best speaker and master. Ich will dich, Shifu!
Absolutely amazing. It’s a mystery to me why the Asian civilization never conquered the world because these people are so far ahead of everyone else by a long shot. They have a calm, confident, inner peace, but at the same time they have a very powerful presence about themselves. Everything that they do, they eat, they think, they practice, all has purpose. And the purpose is self development, what a remarkable man this gentleman is. We can learn so much from him.
He never conquered the world because he conquered himself which makes him the true king of the world.
Wow. This thread👍👍👍👍👍
Nos trasmite tanta paz maestro gracias 👍🧡🌎🙏🇦🇷
Thankyou for you and your sharing of practice.💜
It’s so good to see you !
Thank you. I am grateful to have heard this today. I've lost myself for a while. This video has made me awaken to me. Also I had stopped practicing my forms years ago and my muscle lost it's memory. I am determined to get me back and away from the abyss of non-movement and continuous thought. It's time to head back to lot's of movement and less thought. 🤗
I wish the people who need this listened to him. He is inspirational and I love his thinking. I pratice Tai Chi goes along the same line of compassion, look inside yourself, strength, patience, and of course praticetheTai Chi for strength inner and physical.
Very inspirational. I have signed up for the self mastery program. I am looking forward to learn and gain some wisdom from you.🙏
Gracias máster por dejarnos tantos consejos 🙏🙏🙏🌎🇦🇷👍
I never heard such an awesome speech like this before.
Sifu you are too modest ...
You are a messenger and yes everything you say is true !...
Thank you so much for your help along my healing journey 🤍
