Shinzen extends his welcome to people who are new to his teachings and/or this YouTube channel. Shinzen shares that the mindfulness skill-set leads eventually to "getting over yourself and getting over the world", and "improving yourself and world". Ordinary experience can become utterly extraordinary resulting in the beatific vision, to use a Christian term. He then talks about his eclectic mix of influences which are utilized without religious doctrine or cultural trappings, and applied science-like to sensory experience. Filmed in Nov. 2009 at Mt. Carmel Spiritual Centre in Niagara Falls.

  • Great stuff master Shinzen :)

  • Thank you for your videos and your teachings. Can't wait to see you Oct 9th!

  • Your message is very clear, I've been on a path to equanimity myself. I'm in the process of defining what I'm trying to accomplish with my ideas and they parallel with your words of wisdom. At this time in human history, you have great influence to help others with your resonance, you are a human catalyst.

    Thank you for doing this,

    Kind regards

    "As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being."

  • You'd have to be hardcore into the psychedelic experience if you fancy sober and prolonged meditation. The depths of my mind are too chaotic and disturbing to confront while not on some mind bending substance.

  • Shinzen, seriously...you rock......seriously.:)

  • You are clear, concise, and down to earth. I look forward to listening to your work!

  • I appreciate how you make mindfulness amenable to a secular, non-theological point of view.
