A Joyful Mind | Meditation and Mindfulness Documentary

"My panic was one of my best friend and best teacher" - to accept and learn from negative events in life is one of the most important skill.

[@freetibet1000]

The Tibetan monk in this video is actually a very accomplished teacher in the Buddhist tradition and his name is Mingyur Rinpoche and everyone who wants to know more about him and his teachings can find a lot about that on KZbin if you just search on his name there. Good luck!

Oh men. Headspace changed my life completely, meditation changes everything, EVERYTHING

[@harshsaini2494]

You sure. I have been suffering anxiety and depression on an off for 15 years. Tried meditation but never been consistent

[@ramilkulakhmetov8283]

​@@harshsaini2494 the problem that u should understand why do u even meditate ( i mean understanding of conceptions, its probably even more important than meditation itself) and meditate every day (in my first 6 months i meditate everyday atleast 1-2 hours). headspace app really helps me with that. u get some tips from app, some videos from it + meditation and its change ur perspective completely. i was always very melancholic person, after a year of meditation my emotional mood was very stable and positive one i suffer from anxiety and irritate bowel syndrome (men ibs is a pure hell) and meditation helps me with that A fucking L O T. but i should say i recommend meditation in the past to some of my friends (like 2-3 people) who struggle with depression and some things and i explain to them everything i know about ego, how it controls em and how and why exactly meditation works etc etc. but they still dont get it right and ofcourse meditation doesnt help em. plus they thought that meditation is like A MAGIC PILL and if they do it for a month then depression should gtfo from their life, but it doesnt work like that without understanding meditation works like on 30%, with understanding it goes up to 100% and changes everything. i know it can sound like an abstract shit, but i cant explain u in two words why it changes everything

The idea of teaching kids meditation is brilliant, I wish I could receive this kind of education when I was young

[@alimbo9436]

This should really be a global thing for children everywhere. It's more fundamental than maths, science or any other subject!

[@Elimba78]

It made me so happy, to see those kids meditating.

[@realBeltalowda]

"There is a maxim that Navy SEALs pass from officer to officer, person to person. In the midst of chaos, even in the fog of war, their battle-tested advice is this: “Calm is contagious.” Especially when that calm is coming from the man or woman in charge. If the men begin to lose their wits, if the group is unsure of what to do next, it’s the leader’s job to do one thing: instill calm- not by force but by example.” ~ Ryan Holiday, The Daily Stoic Rinpoche's book "Joyful Wisdom" is amazing, especially the audiobook, the way he describes awareness and brings you where you need to go in your mind to get the view just.. clicks.. and suddenly you're meditating in a totally new and profound way.

[@alimbo9436]

I am halfway through reading the Joy of Living by Mingyur Rinpoche and I wholeheartedly agree with you. Even after years of watching talks from various meditation teachers and practicing on and off. Now, it seems it is finally clicking and I have found my guru.

I'm not stressed out anymore since I moved out of the city where there are few neighbors and I meditate constantly taking things slow. People and stress go hand-in-hand the noise they create and conflicts and impersonalism

[@alanarcher]

I'm so glad to see Joseph Goldstein here. One of the best teachers I've ever had the pleasure to learn from.

[@rajivkrishnatr]

Around 27:50 what that woman says is amazing. This documentary has such strong purpose that I can clearly see what your intention is. I agree with some of the things said here, like meditation is not used to become happy but is used to become more aware of your own thoughts and emotions and in turn that makes it easier to deal with anything that comes your way. It's like you're preparing for a kickboxing tournament but this tournament is your life and you're not training your muscles but your mind to be more aware. Lastly, thanks for this video.

[@Angie-sk4th]

Thank you for putting the time stamp ❤

[@willoanz]

Well done guys! Beautiful setting with beautiful scenes; a meaningful and inspiring work. But be careful though; meditation is not the universal panacea that will solve all your problems and discomforts of your life. Try it with an open and innocent mind, free from expectations and unrealistic hopes. Better start when you are reasonably well and comfortable and then, keep trying again and again without holding scores. And never blame yourself for failing for there is no winner or loser in the game.

[@ChristianF15cher]

This and The Power of Now totally helped me (they both teach a similar concept). When you first start meditating, the moment you become present my feel a bit...weird. Possibly even painful. Keep doing it and eventually it gets easier. The Chaotic Mind (Monkey Mind) is still a problem I deal with in my day to day life but I'm able to acknowledge it and find peace a lot easier.

[@exstazius]

[@westsidesmitty1]

Seeing the effect (and hearing their gifted ability to describe the changes) was a powerful experience. Hearing the instructor get emotional about how teaching mindfulness had enhanced her life left no doubt about the progressive nature of a method that is 2500 years old. . Mindfulness is being taught in prisons worldwide (yes, even tin the US) and the change in thee recidivism rates (and general level of violence) is a rapidly spreading model. Mindfulness could undo a lot of the damage that the social media ''culture'' is doing our children.

[@schmileyboy]

Absolutely tremendous . Seeing the reactions from the chidren blew my mind . Not only should it be taught in schools but i can see how it would of helped 40 50 yrs ago. . great work!!!

[@soulexesns9522]

A week after meditation I noticed a positive change in my thought process. But I have this intuition that there's still something wrong. I focus more on decluttering the thoughts in my mind rather than fully bringing my attention on the sound. Fortunately, I found this video. I'm enlightened on what is meditation all about😊

[@junnatha]

Look for Jiddu Krishnamurthi, Osho, Raman Maharshi on what meditation is. And also, relaxation, effort, being natural, life, love, bliss, the path, the ego and self identity, dis-identification, spirituality, and whatever u explore. There is a treasure trove for any seeker

Namaste, I am grateful that the ancient wisdom of INDIA and Hinduism ( yoga and meditation) is being appreciated and adapted all over the world now...

[@1world488]

This ancient wisdom is not of Hinduism. It is of Buddhism. Please don't try to take the credit of others.

[@sweetchinmusic3]

@@1world488 Yes Buddhism is a great tradition which developed its own way of meditation. But Buddhism is also a product of Indic tradition. Hinduism is not an organized religion, its a spiritual way of life that existed millenia before Buddha. Buddha himself was Gautama Siddhartha a Hindu..Buddhism has taken a lot of the ancient wisdom from Hinduism as well. Please learn some history before making sweeping statements.Or is it that you dont want to give credit where its due? :)

[@kirangodishelas]

Dimensions 😳😳 there is no religion called hinduism my friend. India has got all ingredients you can also make ur own recipe and name it. That’s what Buddhism Jainism Sikhism my friend. Who thought gowthama meditation did he introduced ? No already there wer gurus everywhere in india but not all wants to come to publicly. If someone is trying to take credit here is Buddhist if they claim it’s different and got all from nothing. Every Buddhist shld give due respect to this ancient india for its ancient spiritual knowledge.

[@1world488]

@@sweetchinmusic3 Firstly, please take note of this, Buddha is not a name of a person but a honorific title given to the enlightened, transcendent ones. Prior to Gautama Buddha, there have been countless Buddhas to walk this samsara. Beings have become Buddha doing meditation when Hinduism did not even exist. In fact, Buddhism has no beginning whereas you can date the origin of Hinduism which you clearly did in your comment. Buddhism has no founder because it is just a law of nature which can only be discovered. Secondly Hinduism is an organized religion and also one product of Indic civilization just like Buddhism, to the Buddhists and the rest of the world. As Hindu seeing Hinduism as not an organized religion is your way of perceiving but to the Buddhists and to the rest of the world, Buddhism and Hinduism are two separate religions today with different beliefs and philosophies. Buddhists don't agree to Hinduism and its beliefs of Gods or whatever. The superficial few similarities that you are comparing have total different definitions and meanings. Thirdly, Gautama Buddha was never a Hindu. He was born to a Hindu family but never showed any interest in Hinduism. That is why he discovered Buddhism for which he was destined. Plus Buddha did not take any wisdom from any religion. He taught what he discovered. He didn't deny what was true. He denied what was not true. An unenlightened beings like us can't degrade an enlightened beings, the transcendent ones who know everything. Accusing awaken beings for stealing is foolish. Lastly, all I want to say is, stealing the credit of others' work is not so pleasant. It's shameful. Learn to give credit to the rightful owners. Don't demand. And yeah before throwing any assertion against other religions, make sure you read the scriptures of other side and understand how different it is from your beliefs instead of making groundless claims. In fact, why don't you do the same observation with the Buddhist and Hindu yogis and see the result?

[@1world488]

@@kirangodishelas please dear Hindu, don't make any assumptions based on your biased beliefs and understanding. The gurus of Siddhartha were not even Hindu. They were Sramanic who clearly opposed Hinduism. Not much later, even those Sramanic saints followed Buddhism and Buddha. Moreover even Hindu saints converted to Buddhism. Prior to Gautama Buddha, beings have become a Buddha doing meditation when there wasn't even a belief called Hinduism according to Buddhist scriptures. Don't demand for which you are not even rightful, dear Hindu

Very interesting....how many other people realised they had been inadvertantly raised to be emotionally reactive, rather then responsive? So if our parents didn't have the tools to give to us, then why aren't we covering this in public school? Seems to be the most important thing anyone can learn.
