Discovering Wisdom
Vložit

- Many of us are very self-critical, and whenever negative emotions appear, we fight or suppress them. This leaves us feeling bad afterward. In this short video, Mingyur Rinpoche teaches us how criticizing ourselves creates more problems. He shows us how we instead can find wisdom within our emotions and come to see that our true nature is already good.
This video includes subtitle captions in Arabic, English, Russian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Nepali, Bulgarian, and Swedish.

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.
same! i was in a really tough spot this past spring and i happened to stumble upon a video where he was talking about the monkey mind and it just shook my world and made me see things so differently. glad its helping you too! :)
Sarah Jane So nice that these videos help you, I can relate because they also helped me during my burn-out. Good luck with everything and know that happiness is also there for you! Mindful greetings, Simple Happy Zen
Sarah Jane beautiful
I get out of my depression with meditation. Continue with your path and you will get out too. The black dog will always be there, but he won't be you. Get it? Take time but works. Is the natural path, i think. I never liked the idea of drugs...
I wish you well. I use Mindfullness/meditation with my clients who suffer anxiety and depression.
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.

Great job! Thank you
Wow! Thank you!
Thank you🙏
💕
Thank you 🙏
Wonderful & useful summary!
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.
I am practicing this since a couple of years but few realize.
My partner has even participated in retreats with Tergar but still got into depression.
It also takes a decision to see and really take this all in.
Yes it’s up to us to live this.
It has changed my world even though there’s no big difference on the outside.
Also very boring trust me ..... we are a warring race .... we love to fight
This man is amazing in the way he simplifies and uses voice modulation, expressions etc. He is blessed one !
One of my favs as well. 🙏💪✊
With the father he had its no wonder he is who he is...
Mingyur is such a great speaker, I always feel happy and inspired after watching his videos. :-) Mindful greetings, Simple Happy Zen
You inspire me! And your voice is so relaxing to listen to 😄
thank you! 🌻
huhuh
the happy way me too
I agree
Peaceful and calm
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 🙏🏾
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.
Yes it takes a lot of practice before being able to do this in a city.
That’s why some get into long retreats.
Also daily longer meditations might help.
Thank you for your help and guidance. I'll meditate on this in my next session...🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏 repochy la .. may your teachings spread all over the world
This is really special.I actually think that this has changed my life right on the spot. I guess I must be ready.
I just read your comment; after two years I hope you were correct and you still feel this way!
Awesome teaching. Dive deep until you reach the bottom, where there is the pearl of wisdom. Hold your breath until you become a fish.
You are a good teacher so confident congratulations
I love the way he says "helllooo"
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.
Greengage 27 Yes, I agree!! :-) Mindful greetings, Simple Happy Zen

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.
I really love this video a lot. I think it’s one of my favorites so far. It helped me understand so many things. Thank you , Rinpoche.
Thank you for all your divine inspirational teachings. 🕉☯♾blessings
God, you're brilliant ! Very enlightening & helpful.
Many thanks.
I Love how he speak,peace and bliss on his face is the reflection of his inner wisdom🙏🙏🙏
Great teacher，great wisdom！
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.

The new age Alan Watts, love your talks! Super happy I've found your xhannel!
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.
Today I’m working on “break with identities “. Your comment has really helped me to understand what I need to do!!!🥳
Thank you for your lessons
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.
I am feeling really very very grateful...voice is soo soothing and relaxing...actually i have done a deep meditation with ur beautiful voice....i can,t explain in words what i feel when i listen ur grace in the form of voice...thank a lot
Namaste !💖
Thank you very much. You're videos are very good and I like this one a lot. You're a funny guy, I mean that in the most respectful way. I think you'd be fun to hang out with. Thank you again for your wisdom and insight. You are good at explaining things, I want to say, if you're watching this don't make any judgements about him, just listen to what he is trying to tell you. I appreciate you taking the time to do this and I hope everyone that watches appreciates it as well and learns a thing or two.
Thank you for sharing!
Very nice. Thank you. Buddhism and the stoic philosophy seems to have much in common. Anybody else know more on this subject?
Thank you guru for the knowledge you gave to us...
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much
Hi Sir, It's me again - the hyper kid that somehow still wants to try all this stuff. Thank you for this new video. I was listening to real good music feeling top of the world when I saw you had uploaded a new video :D So when you said I was good I went "I know I am" ha ha too much pride and not enough wisdom. I have it all - all the five things you talk about, but that's OK. Honestly I'm more forgiving of myself than to the people I am close to. It's bad - I know ha ha.
Lately I have developed some easy tricks for keeping my mind stable and open at most times. I just rest in naturalness and my latest trick is simply to "zoom out". Whenever I start focusing on something I noticed I got that "brink of agitation" feeling I've been talking about, but as soon as I zoom out it disappears! So I'm really happy that a new video came up right now. I still didn't get what the method was exactly, so I'll watch the video again a couple of times. I'm sort of excited to find out what my wisdoms are ha ha :D actually I'm REALLY excited ha ha :D OK I'm off
PS. yeah and I want PIZZA :D
thank you Yongey, very simple to understand about wisdom
So nice I listened twice..... thank you brother 💜🕉💜
What I really want is to exist! Thank you very very much for guiding me to this enlightment!
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.
Thank you Master
You really help with my depression and anxiety. Thank you so much.
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
Thank you master
Thank you for transmitting the information I found it very mind opening.
Thank you..🙏🙏
Beautiful!!!❤️🙏
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.
Beautiful!
Very good. Life here is an exploration of your "self".....your "essence". Some seek. Some do not. Its okay.🙏🏾
You have really good impact on me, beloved teacher ❤️
Thank you 🙏🏽 mine was love & companion, with calm 🙏🏽
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.
Western science, psychology is deluded from the start with its materialist and linear perspective.
Very good teachings.
Thank you very much
Thank You, Yongey! :)
VERY GREAT AND EXCELLENT 👌👍👏👏👏
Thank you!
