Don't you really have to just observe yourself and ask the right questions about why you think and react the way you do? It all seems to come down to early conditioning an and then constant reinforcement. Oh, I am an American, that's my flag, yes and raised a Catholic, there's the cross…those others are different, Indian, Russians and so on but only superficially. They too have been conditoned the same way.
Fantastic!
Fantastic!
Fantastic!
How do we know that happiness is not the natural state of our minds? Perhaps our addiction of attachment to thoughts in the stream of consciousness.. is making us block out the natural happiness of our minds? All that thought after thought makes us lose mindful awareness and lose the happiness that goes with it. When you are very focused on creating something you like, aren't you happier? Meditation is getting in touch with our natural mind.
TY very muts Matthieu R
Beautiful
Why is he negative about jalousie?
First time I see someone explain how meditation works on the mind!
I meditated 5 consecutive days one time, and already feel the difference in my mind.
Thanks to this video I want to try meditating everyday 🙂
Meditation has to do with ~ Stabilizing , Organizing , and Optimizing our minds ~ We meditate in order to ~ Transcend ignorance and cultivate wisdom ~ Because ignorance forms the root of our suffering ~ And the cultivation of wisdom leads to our salvation ~ To bring about a collective “ Enlightenment “ ~ We need to help others ~ Do the same ~ Only by working together and educating one another ~ Can we bring about peace and harmony in the world ~ And put an end to suffering ~
I like those
please, if Matthieiu ricard sees this or anyone with an answer I'll appreciate it. It's about the idea of meditating for 20mins. Do I need a ticking clock so that I am conscious of when it reaches 20mins so that I stop? if not how do I calculate 20mins and concentrate on my breathe for instance? thanks
This assumes that all people are seeking individual transformation. Most people who are doing "meditation" are looking for relaxation and better health and fantasy – not actual mental transformation. That includes most people sitting in Dharma Centers and Zendos. We have to start with an actual definition and proper instruction in meditation as defined in the traditional disciplines – most people will last about 5 minutes. Tibetans seem very hesitant to do this – threatens their meal ticket.
Just use psychedelics. Stop talking… Grow up
Merci, puisse votre message toucher le plus de personnes dans le monde.

You are not entirely correct, for certain individual development is important and necessary, but there is also small groups, small communities and the possibility that exists there for self and other healing together. Isn't it a big leap to go from individual to society? Isn't there anything in between? For certain there is, groups, teams, small communities where much work is lacking and needed.
I just saw this and wanted to share, an enlightened master called Sri Avinash is transmitting the enlightened state, called the Satori Transmission. You can see in video people are experiencing a what enlightenment feels like through him within minutes. ? I know I sound crazy but it's actually true! #sriavinashsatoritransmission ?❤️
As for me, this is One of the best introductory lecture about meditation! Had a great pleasure when listened to that. Thanks a lot.
So Beautiful. ???
