Being a good/happy/healthy human being is not a fluffy process it is a path of self discipline which allows a clear connection between me and the world around.
"As much as we'd all like to play chess like Bobby Fischer...who wants to *become* Bobby Fischer." Great quote illustrating how our society often confuses intellectual achievements with true happiness, just as we do with material success.

@gaynnoroflynn We met in Sechen, Boudha many years ago, excellent talk & beautiful images, for personal reasons I would be grateful if you could forward / post any advice re aspergers & meditation
Or kill many to save one. An example is if you kill millions of lives, millions of virus can kill you out of a sickness, a disease (cancer, kidney failure, etc...) Treasure the human life you have and let go of the selfishness of the impermanent body. Do good deed while you can or you (all of us human) continue to sink to the darkness of universe, the most unfortunate of life on Earth. Nothing is permanent on Earth. Living is precious, so make your life useful for the next and many to come!
Where's heaven and where's hell? If you understand the suffering of the human, it's all here on Earth. Imagine if you were born in a war zone, a starving poor country or a son of a king, a riches man on Earth. If you understand that much, you know where hell and heaven are. Life for life. We kill and eat other living things, they will kill and eat us. It's just a matter of time. We kill enough, they all will kill us at once or again and again. Killing is wrong whether kill one to save many
It all depends on how we understand karma. Why is a child born cripple or retarded? Why is a child born in a rich and famous family? Why did a child in a far country get adopted by Angelina Joline? Don't answer your own question. Find it in buddhism. You may find and you may not. It's all depend on your karma. Why does a person across the world end up kill a person in another part of the world? If you follow Buddha's path, you can change karma, lesson the sins we commit daily. Good luck.
We get what we deserve and we deserve what we get! In saying this, we all are in the quick sand situation in this world. Many people are struggle (cheat, lie, hurt others to gain benefit...). The more we struggle, the worst we sink. Look at your life, your position today and understand how you were in the past life or in your youth year (even). If you are not doing good and go on do bad, imagine what it will be in your next life? Don't blame the parents, don't blame society, anything but you
@TheMenice123 I don't believe we always deserve what we get. What if someone had a rare hereditary disorder that made their kidneys fail at a young age. It's no ones fault and it doesn't mean they deserve it. Life happens, but that doesn't mean the world has to end. You have a choice: let it take over, or move on and keep living life to the best of one's ability.
@Heatherness08 yes, but in a country like India it's much more cost efficient to make people think it's their own faith, rather than creating the infrastructure to provide medical supply and help.
look at C3 of Nokia, or google earth, it's good to see things from a larger perspective once in a while, grasp the big picture
@Heatherness08 The guy is half right and half wrong. It certainly is ones actions that cause the kidney failure or any problem. You reap what you sow. There is a buddhist story about a butcher who loves to chop off goats head. It is said that he was reborn as a goat a thousand times over and over again and each time he had his head chopped off by a butcher. Think of it like that. Then you'll understand :)
A double size swimming pool would make me twice as happy, Ok I get his point and all that, but that is nothing new all religions say the same; We have to be contented with what we have, but come on dont tell me that you can achieve happiness when you are unemployed with little expectation of finding a job and when the environement in which you live is full of wicked and inmoral people. Yes a double size swimming pool wouldn´t give you full happiness but agree with me that it will help a lot.<3
@pimkytraviesa Ricard makes it clear from the start that we all deserve good homes, jobs, health, etc. His argument is that once you have all of those things, it is often still not enough. From my own personal experience and from observing the behavior of many successful people I know, many of them still suffer a great deal from depression, anxiety, anger, grief, etc. And I believe there wouldn't be so many "wicked and immoral" people around if such people followed the practices he describes.
@pimkytraviesa Think not of whether or not you can be happy when homeless etc. and still be happy. I have been there, and been completely happy. Even now, I'm considering leaving my home to live in my vehicle, because I only actually make use of my bed and computer; I'm generally not home, despite having several rooms and nice furniture at home. I can find joy in any moment, despite what environment I am in. Life is an adventure, and every moment carries a gift that can not be known until opened
It's very true what Matthieu says...outside of us is all an illusion. It's how our mind interprets it all.
there's a duality through life..we can never know happiness without experiencing sadness. No amount of pleasure will actually make us permanently happy because even pleasure becomes boring. Some of the Worlds richest people have been the saddest..Howard Hughes, Paul Getty..even Charlie Sheen, however many women he has.
i have seen some comments ( not many actually) saying his speech is shallow.
Its not, this video is made for those who want to evolve as human beings, not to achieve instant gratification like « how to be a millionaire in a week ».
@likemusicwhat Very true---However much instant gratification a human gets it will never be enough. Happiness cannot be obtained through the material world. this sounds like hippy talk but it's true. Each expensive present, snort of coke, casual sexual encounter, etc just gives temporary pleasure that lasts 'til the next hit. Boredom sets in and sometimes mental illness.
So many are addicted to something and each are chasing an illusion.
@likemusicwhat Yes I know. I dont understand why people think that this doesnt work unless theres a puff of pink smoke and youre a billionare sitting on a yacht in the carribean snorting coke off a hookers tits. But then idiots dont understand wisdom, or they wouldnt be so.
@likemusicwhat It has to be listened to more than once, so the idea takes better effect. It's kinda like telling a kid, "children should be seen and not hear," over and over again until it makes sense. Im rather enjoying his speech
What the fuck is this guy talking about? It is all bullshit. He doesn´t get into the matter he is going around the bushes and saying absolutely NOTHING.
@pimkytraviesa well it's normal to not understand something when you know nothing about it, this is just over your head you must first learn about common sense then come back then watch....
@DJxSGGxNeo I actually know a lot about it that is why I find it senseless, It is all so obvious that is not worth talking about it. Why does he dress like that ?. IS SO SILLY. Common sense? If it is so obvious why to talk about what is absolutely evident. Talk ,talk, talk, talk and selling more empty meaning self help books. i f you have got such an important message from this video please could you sum it up in a sentence. 59 mns wacthing this and what did you get? tell me please.
@pimkytraviesa Perhaps it isn't obvious to all of us, all of the time. As I go through the daily stresses of work and securing a career for myself in the endless struggle for ownership and status, I must remind myself that no matter the outcome of my genuine efforts, I cannot invest all of my happiness in these things over which I have such little control. It can take one over, and I've seen it in the people I work with, people I know. I come listen to Matthieu to remind myself of these things.
@pimkytraviesa My first reaction to Buddhist Teachings (20 years ago) was similar to yours. It was a long journey of gradual discovery to really begin to comprehend them. And it's still a work in progress!
@pimkytraviesa I am sorry for posting a negative comment in response to yours, please watch it and try to understand it instead of just saying he makes no sense, he does make much sense, I see most people these days and it makes me feel sick, every one is so dark and stubborn and when I try to help them they don't want any help, yet me not helping them hurts me as well....

Seriously, so much social wisdom & interpersonal/intra personal insights in one talk is remarkable. This guy is an example of human potential realized.
13:13 - "COLLAPSE"....then, 13 seconds later, the microphone falls down..collapse.
One of the reasons that we stays happy on a regular basis is that we knows how to identify negative energy. Collapse isn't the most loving word in the dictionary :P
I think Matthieu Ricard was a little insecure. He might fill himself with just a tad more confidence when in front of a group of people :)
Can Buddha here teach us how to levitate? I wants to learn me how to levitate! Ahh soo! And my name not Ming, but I still be jolly goo' fellow! Yuk yuk yuk!

I read these comments and I am wondering if I am in the same Universe or why it would lend such anger... The teacher/master is giving you the ways to free yourself of this dramatic anger that only brings pain into your life. Where we watching the same lesson? My comment is about the gentleman at the end of the teaching who asks a question only to rudely interupt the TEACHER as though he only wanted to hear his own voice. But I guess it helps us see how ridiculous and unhelpful it is.
For those that like this video there is another teacher of meditation you should know about, Eknath Eswaran. He was a beautiful soul and his teachings go straight to the point of love, compassion, and training the mind. He also has that quality of humanness that is shown in the Tibetan monks. His passage meditation is very similar to compassion meditation. Enjoy.
Our dramatically. As well as our brains do not make the system open to think what the good things in life that are emerging. And for us to worry too much about the future, we stress. Because the future is uncertain. The story that most concerns us is often not realized, as our minds think.
Must first agree before that. It is only natural that people will be suffering all up. However, we can increase happiness. And reduce suffering for themselves easily. Because the cause of most suffering from "heart" is our own mind, but we often think about the past in the past. And worry about things. Not yet come to in the future. More thought going on in the past, especially matters of foreign or failure will undermine the strength and encouragement.
Wish there were undertitles, as Im not a native english speaker Im having real problem understanding him.. :( But from what I understand, he really understands human concept.
'dont look at the oriental, the exotic side of meditation' - french man with a bald head a saffron robes. hahaha nah i joke I really foudn this lecture valuable. loved it.
Mindfulness has 30 years of research to back it up. Excellent tool for helping manage anger, irritability, anxiety and more. If you are interested in more Advanced Tools for the Mind (ATM), check out video blog Real Men, Real Happiness by John Schinnerer Ph.D.
except my religion of course, which worships unicorns and leprechauns. oh and i have a box of fucking lucky charms that PROVES leprechauns are real. as for unicorns, obviously they are real because leprechauns don't drive cars. simple logic mothafucka! take that jesus!
The idea that people create a hedonistic philosophy where negative emotions are a welcome part of life in order to justify their inability to change the fact that they suffer - beautiful.
More accurately...Buddhists do not so much welcome negative emotions, but accept them when they arise and see that they are insubstantial, temporary and unnecessary.
This can be contrasted to the more common and less skillful practice of identifying with negative emotions - often to the point of letting them define us. Behaving in this way only causes suffering that is optional.
Also, it is not necessary to justify the fact that suffering occurs; just to acknowledge it.
Buddhist monks primarily sell happiness now because the Enlightenment that Buddhism claimed is possible is not being achieved by even the greatest of monks. Matthieu Ricard is "sure" the Dalai Lama is "truly Enlightened" but the Dalai Lama himself says he is NOT and even says he has "a long way to go." So who is dead wrong, the Dalai Lama or Matthieu Ricard? You decide. Asia has many Buddhists skilled at being content in their own poverty. Burma, Tibet, Laos, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Mongolia = POOR
Critics: Do you have any idea how many years it takes to become a buddhist at his level? Studies in medicine, studies in psycology, studies in waveform phenomena (mantra basis), studies in yoga -- have some respect, these teachings are older than our own culture and have survived because they work. We might be masters of matter, but ultimately we have a long way to go when it comes to our minds. Show some common respect.
@nipsixa Unfortunately most are lacking in self respect so therefore they can not respect others. Maybe Mindfulness will teach them respect starts in the self.
why dont they analize somebody who claim being enlightened or in an advanced state of liberation, record their brain patters, and render those variables in some chart. After that, have your own brain patterns also rendered in real time, and try by doing something with the brain to match the one from the enlightened guy? Maybe something that takes years of meditation and trying to find out what monks want to say, can be achieved in hours.
the Jon Kabat-Zinn Google talk covers what you are wondering. It is possible to 'approach' similar brain-imaging results in 'regular' folks as what the long-time meditators have already achieved.
Another self-appointed guru. Too much talking self-promoting and selling. And he's talking about self-importance. Buddhist monks shouldn't be going around banking on dharma or using it for personal game. His constant talking gives one a headache.
@tabletopphoto That is a very long and deep process and some of it has been revealed in the old books of the ancient Tibetan masters. In brief, it takes life times of spiritual training and endless tests by one's guru to train his/her pupils.Very few can endure these hardships. Once the pupil pasts these grueling tests and attains self-realization and self/liberation he maybe recognized officially as such a being and requested by his guru to teach. These days anyone claims to be a "guru". Sad.
Did you need a Botanist with a PHD to tell you what an apple is? There are many self appointed guru's that you follow with out a question. Like doctors. They only know what they were told they needed to know, and what they know now might be out of date tomorrow or is based on completely false assumptions. Titles don't mean a hill of beans, everybody is a teacher on some level and has something of value to gain from.

21 years old hu? Just because someone has a BA in Business from Harvard doesn't mean the bloke knows how to run a business or make it successful. All it means is that person is well versed in the technical aspects of a business. A person who has a degree in marketing doesn't make him a good marketer if he has no imagination or skills in creativity. Somethings only come from experience. Titles really mean nothing. Maybe when you're 30 you understand better.
@tabletopphoto i never stated that the person could perform the job..but a title does look better then not having one even if you have the skills..lowest example..ME an YOU walk in for a job..they ask me do you have a diploma or a ged..i say no i dont but i have the skills you are looking for..an you walk in there an they ask you do have a ged or diploma an you say yes but i dont have the skills for the job but im sure i can learn..who do you think they going to take me or you?
All I was saying is that titles don't matter. Ofcourse they are gonna take the one with the skills and experience, but not necessarily the BA. I think this guy does deserve the title of Guru. He is a PHD and a Monk......Monk is good enough though.
ming is so annoying...

I can find joy in any moment, despite what environment I am in. Life is an adventure, and every moment carries a gift that can not be known until opened

It's very true what Matthieu says...outside of us is all an illusion. It's how our mind interprets it all.
there's a duality through life..we can never know happiness without experiencing sadness. No amount of pleasure will actually make us permanently happy because even pleasure becomes boring. Some of the Worlds richest people have been the saddest..Howard Hughes, Paul Getty..even Charlie Sheen, however many women he has.

@likemusicwhat Very true---However much instant gratification a human gets it will never be enough. Happiness cannot be obtained through the material world. this sounds like hippy talk but it's true. Each expensive present, snort of coke, casual sexual encounter, etc just gives temporary pleasure that lasts 'til the next hit. Boredom sets in and sometimes mental illness.
So many are addicted to something and each are chasing an illusion.

The concept of suffering, is actually something that can't be defined in a single word, or a sentence.
Human vision and understanding of life and existence, is a dynamic. Such dynamic can be understood studying the tao, and buddhism.

@pimkytraviesa Perhaps it isn't obvious to all of us, all of the time. As I go through the daily stresses of work and securing a career for myself in the endless struggle for ownership and status, I must remind myself that no matter the outcome of my genuine efforts, I cannot invest all of my happiness in these things over which I have such little control. It can take one over, and I've seen it in the people I work with, people I know. I come listen to Matthieu to remind myself of these things.

One of the reasons that we stays happy on a regular basis is that we knows how to identify negative energy. Collapse isn't the most loving word in the dictionary :P

My comment is about the gentleman at the end of the teaching who asks a question only to rudely interupt the TEACHER as though he only wanted to hear his own voice.

A 30 foot humpback whale pursued me for 35 minutes, last February.
As if I were her baby, she kept trying to put me on her head, by rising up beneath me, as I kept swimming to stay out of the way...
Also see my video, "Hit by a Whale".
And, wild dolphins come up to me (and others) in Hawaii, when they want people to twirl with them, sometimes.
Usually, you are right, though... people just follow THEM around and bother them... not cool.

For those that like this video there is another teacher of meditation you should know about, Eknath Eswaran. He was a beautiful soul and his teachings go straight to the point of love, compassion, and training the mind. He also has that quality of humanness that is shown in the Tibetan monks. His passage meditation is very similar to compassion meditation. Enjoy.

Our dramatically. As well as our brains do not make the system open to think what the good things in life that are emerging. And for us to worry too much about the future, we stress. Because the future is uncertain. The story that most concerns us is often not realized, as our minds think.
everestkey 1 year ago
Must first agree before that. It is only natural that people will be suffering all up. However, we can increase happiness. And reduce suffering for themselves easily. Because the cause of most suffering from "heart" is our own mind, but we often think about the past in the past. And worry about things. Not yet come to in the future. More thought going on in the past, especially matters of foreign or failure will undermine the strength and encouragement.

The idea that people create a hedonistic philosophy where negative emotions are a welcome part of life in order to justify their inability to change the fact that they suffer - beautiful.
butterwings77 1 year ago
@butterwings77
More accurately...Buddhists do not so much welcome negative emotions, but accept them when they arise and see that they are insubstantial, temporary and unnecessary.
This can be contrasted to the more common and less skillful practice of identifying with negative emotions - often to the point of letting them define us. Behaving in this way only causes suffering that is optional.
Also, it is not necessary to justify the fact that suffering occurs; just to acknowledge it.

Buddhist monks primarily sell happiness now because the Enlightenment that Buddhism claimed is possible is not being achieved by even the greatest of monks. Matthieu Ricard is "sure" the Dalai Lama is "truly Enlightened" but the Dalai Lama himself says he is NOT and even says he has "a long way to go." So who is dead wrong, the Dalai Lama or Matthieu Ricard? You decide. Asia has many Buddhists skilled at being content in their own poverty. Burma, Tibet, Laos, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Mongolia = POOR

Critics: Do you have any idea how many years it takes to become a buddhist at his level? Studies in medicine, studies in psycology, studies in waveform phenomena (mantra basis), studies in yoga -- have some respect, these teachings are older than our own culture and have survived because they work. We might be masters of matter, but ultimately we have a long way to go when it comes to our minds. Show some common respect.

why dont they analize somebody who claim being enlightened or in an advanced state of liberation, record their brain patters, and render those variables in some chart. After that, have your own brain patterns also rendered in real time, and try by doing something with the brain to match the one from the enlightened guy? Maybe something that takes years of meditation and trying to find out what monks want to say, can be achieved in hours.

tabletopphoto 1 year ago
@tabletopphoto That is a very long and deep process and some of it has been revealed in the old books of the ancient Tibetan masters. In brief, it takes life times of spiritual training and endless tests by one's guru to train his/her pupils.Very few can endure these hardships. Once the pupil pasts these grueling tests and attains self-realization and self/liberation he maybe recognized officially as such a being and requested by his guru to teach. These days anyone claims to be a "guru". Sad.

All it means is that person is well versed in the technical aspects of a business.
