What Meditation Really Is: Mingyur Rinpoche

[FishyMoe]

if you have no idea what your monkey mind is and how powerful it is, do a meditation retreat you will see how it can blabber on...

[ElizabethReninger]

Thank you, Rinpoche -- wishing all auspicious circumstances for your extended retreat -- and joyfully anticipate your return to teaching!

This is a great explanation of meditation thank you very much! But still I have some questions:He said that you can learn to control the mind. That implies that your self is not the mind. It implies too, that your true self can act and control the mind without using a mind. So what is it than can act without mind or body, that can "think of" a job and giving it to the mind without using a thinking/remembering mind and that can experience the true being of mind, body and life without being them?

@MonochromeMentality i think "monkey mind" is reffering more to evolutionary-drive-instictial-­primitive mind which you are trying to get under control.. on the other end are all this commercial projections which are brainwashing you to be controlled by your monkey-mind..
