Letting My Self Die

[@buddhamack1491]

The heart beats, the lungs breathe and the mind thinks. You are not your thoughts, you are the witnessing presence. Much like you can control your breathing, you can control your thoughts but this doesn't mean that everything you think is real or has to be followed. Letting go of your preconceived notions of the world and living in the moment is the way to peace.

[@anattasunnata3498]

I think this is very beautiful. But, just in case, it seems the Buddha didn't say that we are that witnessing presence. That's precisely one of the notions the Buddha tried to eradicate through the development of wisdom: the body, feelings, perception, mental formations and consciousness, none of them can be called "I", "me" or "myself". Consciousness, just as the other four aggregates, depends on conditions to rise, and cease after such conditions are gone. How can consciousness be "our true self", when it is constantly arising and ceasing? Kind regards!

[@buddhamack1491]

@@anattasunnata3498 It is hard for some to comprehend that, so for those finding their way into meditation I use this saying. It give those still associating their self with the mind one step back from it. They can then find the truth in their own time.

[@anattasunnata3498]

@@buddhamack1491 I understand. So, in this case, according to you, do the ends justify the means? Wouldn't this kind of statement create more confusion in the long term? Kind regards!

@@anattasunnata3498 This is exactly how I was introduced to it, and then I found my way to the Buddha's, and others, teachings. It does no harm to get people to lessen their association with believing every thought and feeling they have. It offered me the space to find peace and discover other teachings which offered deeper insight. The Buddha himself started out with a disassociation, he didn't immediately find his realisations.

If anyone is having problems understanding his explanations he's talking about the empty spaces in between thoughts, who you are when you're in between thoughts your nobody your just complete consciousness nothing else no pain no fuss just who you really are just having an experience of plain consciousness. I think anyway, that's just my understanding

[@RaviAnnaswamy]

Sweet things fall on tongue, you sense sweetness. Bitter things fall on tongue, you feel bitter. When nothing falls on tongue, tongue is tasteless. Object one is seen, awareness takes shape of that object. Thought one is seen, awareness takes shape of that thought. When even the observer is not observed, pure awareness shines.

Do you still learn when you self die

[@aroguereptilian]

Exactly my thought

[@metabang03]

Comment hijack: this old bitch thinks this dude believes when he physically dies that he believes he will be physically reborn, and that is not at all what he is saying... BTW he's saying, live life knowing you are gonna parish for real, respect your current moment every moment knowing it is a time to let your past be your past and to take in what is around you weather it's learning time, weather your accomplishing a task or if your just trying to be calm, to allow your current moment give you more mental growth more ability to live your life every new moment and especially when shifting gears and to kinda process your experiences to the point your way of thinking is new and changed, hopefully for the better. A new train of thought to be found when transitioning between different moments is what rebirth is to his way of thinking. The old bitch thinks he thinks that when he dies, he gets in line and then at some point he'll pop of of a woman as a new and different human, but he clearly knows physical death is the end, but he is trying to tell her, IN YOUR LAST MOMENT, YOUR BRAIN HAS SOMETHING IN STORE FOR YOU, a moment that may feel even longer then your life, that may be influenced by your life experiences. What happens in that time, well, you could think of it as a dream. But your life as you breathe day to day is the tip of the iceberg and as you physically die, you will live through blbasically a dream, which is hard to imagine, but as you go, your mind has a maricle instore for you. So live a good life so your final moment can be positive, and not a nightmare. I wish it could be explained better but I don't know how to essplain it... it's a dream and a good one is heavenly and a nightmare would be hell. Get ready, the big adventure starts right after your mind decides to let go of our awareness of our surroundings and it decides to reflect on life, or something that makes sense for you based on how you lived. Its an adventure, and your never gonna be ready when it happens but you will have the experience. Unless something totally shreds you to bits instantly. Then no maricle lol. So die slowly, live as long as you can and buckle up its fairly wild. 🤔

Thank you Rinpoche La for talking about this. I feel very lucky to have met you in Taiwan in 2006. I try to practice dream yoga and take every time I fall asleep as an opportunity to practice for dying, praying for all sentient beings, and making offerings etc. I also do breathwork which has helped me overcome many aversions and trauma. I am coming to a point where I feel regret for having not appreciated all the good opportunities and dharma connections I had when I was younger. Now I am a stay at home mum and I wish I could make a deeper commitment to the dharma. I am so glad you came back to teach us from your experiences. 🌸🙏🏼🌸🙏🏼🌸🙏🏼🌸

At first person tries to recall his inner world and trying different types of practices and doings , but he easily forgets inner world when busy in world affairs. Then there comes a time when he will become tired of every practices and doings, .. and his sensitivity start to increase. Then there comes a time when his sensitivity becomes so deep that he does not need to remember his inner world but he will get reminder and messages from everything around him and whatever happening inside of it. Everything drags him inside, and he becomes so deep that he starts to understand the inner language which is soundless and formless . Then there comes a time when he will become stunned, surprised by vast beauty , by unlimited joy vaster than any ocean , stillness deeper than any valley. Then he will see his face in the mirror and will be surprised that he never saw this person before and everything looks utterly new.

Overwhelming... I had a few near death experiences, scaling up to one I was fully aware of ... aware of that big interval... a true rebirth... and with no fear ... great to hear him share his wonderful experience

[@judyhart77]

My understanding of the gap is the epiphany and aliveness you get just after a feeling of 'death'. A life changing moment wether it be through experiencing a huge high or low, where if you pay attention and tune into yourself you get a huge learning experience and a big spike in wisdom and growth. When he talks about milk turning into yoghurt if good or cheese if bad is another way of saying change is inevitable, you can evolve or devolve. But even when you devolve, you can use that as a learning experience.

I love the part where he says going through the near death experience was "the best thing" that happened to him. Also loved it when the interviewer asked him how he was a teacher/monk/about, then went on this 4.5 years retreat, and came back to be a teacher/monk/abott.Was he the same or different? We sometimes have such a one dimensional view of growth. If my business or paycheck didn't grow in a year....would we consider that a failure. But what if I grew from what I experienced and did that year? Is that success? If we stop looking at success in such a one dimensional way, what then becomes possible for us? We can succeed in ways, we never could have imagined!

2:15 2 Things Letting go, and not just that - Seeing the freshness!

[@issacsven3709]

Wow this is really interesting, so my understanding of this is that it's those moments when you interrupt a pattern in your life that you start to get hints about the truth of reality. Life is supposed to be spontaneous, just letting things happen without being attached to anything and enjoying the show and but when you start to live it like a machine insisting upon a goal with the mindset of 1+1=2, 2+2=4 etc you kill the beauty of it because there is no goal in reality. So whenever you accomplish your objective you feel that sad truth but can't understand it properly because of being so attached to the ego of being someone. I kinda compare it to someone that has been working somewhere for a few years and decides to quit or gets fired. That feeling of financial security starts slipping and your mind starts going crazy trying to figure out your next move. But it when everything falls apart and you start to feel that aloneness that you really find out more about who you are. It just like 12:10, when you felt secured there were layers to get to the real you but when you have nowhere to hide anymore you start to realize that what you had was just holding back your potential. I guess what i'm trying to get at is that faith and trust go a long way if you put it in yourSELF.

After my second operation to remove a tumour in my pelvis I was in intensive care and I was watching the breaths on the monitor going down 2 breaths per minute, 1 and then 0. My body had had a tumour for over three years, and had just been hacked apart in a three hour operation. There was nothing left. I was between a living and a comatose state. The monitor would hover around those numbers for an hour or so: 3 breaths per minute, then to zero, one breath per minute. I just lay watching them with no energy left, and then a kind of electricity would zap into my body and catapult me up in my bed and the body systems would start up again. This went on for a couple of days. I remember feeling extremely sensitive to the energy in the hospital unit, the doctors especially. Oftentimes, when I hear people talking about death I realise they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about because until it happens, it’s all just imagination. All the talk of reincarnation and bardos and Angel Gabriel and heaven and all of that are just stories made up by the living to help us understand something which is a complete mystery.

[@Cristina-vb8dl]

Hmm talking about the strange energy in your body...I tried several times to attempt an out of body experience and when I got closer to actually experience it a vibrating energy would start shaking my whole being and I would hear a very high pitched sound. But as it was not happening in the moment I was consciously attempting the OBE but at distance of days in between a sleeping and awaken state, I wasn't ready and I was to scared to actually continue, so I would strongly express the will to remain in my body that always ends with the classical sleep paralysis. It's indeed a mystery, and I strongly believe that religion destroyed the experiences both of life and death. But I wouldn't be so fast to get to conclusions with the Buddhists who seems to actually have comprehended better the meanings of life and death. Their story is more relatable than the Christian angels and God.

A pointer for the spiritual seeker. We are characters in a dream striving to become the dreamer. This quest is unavailing in that the consciousness that is the dreamer is the very same consciousness that is the dreamed. Form or formless, known or unknown, everything is ultimately this non-dual consciousness and therefore ‘you’ are already this. When this is experientially ‘seen’ any movement thereafter is futile. Enlightenment is simply desire-less being.

Mingyur Rinpoche, thank you!!! Thank you for everything you teach!!! It is so helpful!!

Like without wisdom of the Reality behind the scenes, life is just a desert filled with STUFF and you KNOW it's an illusion - the signs and symptoms of duality sickness - like a virus - is present -and there's wisdom enough to know, OK, where's the main course? How does one DO the analytical meditation? I wish you could prepare a video just on basic analytic meditation... along with how to know if you are ready for it. Ie, i can follow the breath for a LONG TIME without losing awareness of it or wandering... and those questions...what is the subject? What is the object arise and ... I see the conceptual mind standing in the way. hahaha OK! So... how does one get insight into the HOW of perception or the HOW of conceptual mind if thoughts just show up and you don't see their assembly?

[@maf_aka]

you need to have some context before you watch this video to understand him. you can start here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bardo/ if you want (my) layman's explanation, Bardo is a transition from what you consider 'usual' to unexpected circumstances. If you can immediately 'catch' the transition you will be awakened (in a Buddhism sense). Bardo doesn't have to be some big lifestyle change like going on a 4.5 year retreat, it can be when you go about your day and something unusual happen at work or at home.

Yes awareness never dies but what or who is the subject/object experience that might know such a thing? This kind of meaning would be very helpful, but possibly misleading, to an ego that is identified with continued existence of some kind and will die. There seems a death coming that the ego will know as finality. Does he describe a complete death experience here? Or just in an intermediate phase ( bardo ) where the dualistic conceptual ego hangs on but is re-purposed?

No need to believe in rebirth, in order to let go into the idea of death. Just observe sleep. We let go everything each night and go into 'blank'. Death is simply a similar experience to this feeling-consciousness as sleep.

한국어 자막을 부탁드리고 싶습니다. 진즉 영어공부를 해두지 못한것이 한이 될 줄은 몰랐네요. 영어공부 말로만 해야지 했는데, 이 세상 하직 전 밍규르 린포체님 음성 통역없이 듣고, 의미를 느끼고 싶으니 영어 시작해 보겠습니다.

When was the original film date? I would appreciate it being listed in the description. So the audience knows, thank you. I am a Contemplative Buddhist Psychotherapy grad student at Naropa University.
