How Mindfulness Creates Understanding (The Buddhist TV)

[ytuser13082011]

I was about to write expressing my positive emotions regarding this talk, but I realized that I understanded that the truly positive thing was not the talk itself, but my realisation of the fact that I am seeing reality through my own filters.I now thank you for this talk as it helped me realised many things I didn't realize before.

I am willing to put these things into the practice.

May all beings be at ease

Thank you this is exactly what I needed right now :D

[dreethipilani]

understand what you explain,but don't understand how to do it.Recognize when anger comes,happiness comes, jealousy comes,love,calmness,even compaction.But when depressed & sad,recognize it,but urge to react comes as well. Until I do it doesn't cease.How to take or look at such states?

[dreethipilani]

If we are depressed & feel very sad & moody over something,how long should we look at that particular object or what we feel inside, without reacting to it even not crying(when not meditating).It's very very difficult.

hi ! thank u for these videos first of all , now , if i feel something and its very unplesant and it does not feel good , and u try to force it away naturally , as with anxiety . this conflict is always there , and i now put the label on it , i say fear , fear , fear , i do this , but is there a need to rid myself of this feeling or do i just put the label on it , do i let the conflict still be there ? thanks!

[lexidougal]

Thank you for making these videos. I have been meditating for about six months and have a constant need to revisit the teaching and remind myself of the basics. I suspect that this is a life long journey which I look forward to making and becoming freer.

With metta

How do you live a detached life when you are raising young children.

[yuttadhammo]

@jricha36 see things with wisdom and you will not attach to them. all beings go according to their deeds, there is no need to attach even to your children, as they will fare according to what good and bad things they do and have done. You have a chance to help them, that is a positive thing and not related to attachment.

[gingertom84]

@jricha36 Being detached and loving your children are two different things. And so is being detached and being responsible as a parent. It is hard but as long as a parent conduct him or herself gently in every situation regarding his or her children, one can be a good Buddhist parent.

Profound beautiful and so simple...

thank you

[pvtmartijn]

Pretty funny if you look at the stats of Yuttadhamma's video's, compared to (let's say) a muppet show. 600 views versus 100 million views...

People really are getting more stupid everyday. Reason the more to thank Yuttad for his efford to learn us SUCH important things, I really hope I will meet you in person at some point in my life!

[juswolf22]

@pvtmartijn I wouldn't say stupid, just not of everyone's interest to learn about the teachings...you can't say they're stupid for that, just uneducated or maybe they're happy w/ were there life is already is.

[pvtmartijn]

@juswolf22 I should've wrote 'being MADE stupid'. Hope this is more clear :) I'm sure you're smart enough to figure it out.

[juswolf22]

@pvtmartijn It was clear from the start lol, just i believe one of the steps to follow on this journey of perfecting this technique is positivity....we should try not to see things in a negative light.

Beautiful insight, beautiful insight, beau.... :-)
