Mingyur Rinpoche is so amazing... it is unbelievable how he learned to use panic as an object for meditation. Just pure genius. I love his teachings and the way he teaches! His voice is very friendly.. :) thank you for providing wisdom and giving hope for cure. Much love, Tomas

[@ruhlnews4348]

It's not from him , what you talk about we call "pada". You take a strong suppressing emotion, and u use it to suppress other lesser strong emotions. You can also use hunger for this.

[@wwild2k]

@@ruhlnews4348 thank you Markus! who are "we" if i may ask?

[@TheMeditationCourse]

Slight misunderstanding Tomas. Please don’t try to make panic the focus of your meditation 🙏 by “making panic your friend” he’s actually reframing it. That softened the experience of the emotion.

[@OmniallTranscendur]

The mind is the thinking.... wow what a statement of Truth. For long I have been looking for an answeer as to how to stop the process of thinking untill I realized it is the Mind that is doing it. My questions became answered when I understood that the Mind by its very nature exists to think 😊

[@sonamjorphail9942]

Venerate to all precious teaching, keep illuminating...May all being be benefited...Many many many thanks Rimpoche La!

[@TheSamuiman]

My deepest salutations for your short, simple, but very clear pointing to the facts of one's "problems"!

[@michael.forkert]

Never Mind!

Thank you. Your explanation is very clear and good. Easy to understand too, but I need to repeatedly hear it to put it into practice. Very grateful.

[@KHABIB-TIME]

“Allah Almighty says: Whoever comes with a good deed will have the reward of ten like it and even more. Whoever comes with an evil deed will be recompensed for one evil deed like it or he will be forgiven. Whoever draws close to Me by the length of a hand, I will draw close to him by the length of an arm. Whoever draws close to Me the by length of an arm, I will draw close to him by the length of a fathom. Whoever comes to Me walking, I will come to him running. Whoever meets Me with enough sins to fill the earth, not associating any partners with Me, I will meet him with as much forgiveness.” Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)

[@a.n.4470]

I agree with my mind 😁

[@Ansh-vajra]

So enlightening ...

[@whole4339]

The title is "what is the mind?" But I couldn't find the answer from his lecture. Mind is inside the brain or the brain is inside the mind? While he is talking about mind, he is pointing to his brain. Does he mean that the brain produces the mind? Where does our intention come from ? All these are my questions. Please make a video on these subject.

[@timp918]

Mind is rider. Body is horse.

[@whole4339]

@Dean Miller Thank you

[@user-ok4nr5rc9h]

Dean Miller why is our Buddha nature obscured? When did this happen? Why did this happen?

[@user-ok4nr5rc9h]

@Dean Miller Thanks for the thoughtful response.

[@Pandanarang528]

He's a freaking fraud , an question is answered by a question's ... OMG !!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@KHABIB-TIME]

Submit your desires and wishes to the One Who created that Mind.

[@andreaaurelio4399]

Great

[@Awaken.01]

👌👌👍🙏

[@walteralter9061]

This guy is delightful. What sort of "mind" does the newborn child possess? Does the state of "no mind" equate to no understanding? Most meditations are advertised to take you deeper, like a miner. What about taking you, not to emptiness, but to everything at once?

🙏 wow Buddha loven Buddhsim 🧘‍♀️ 🙂 ❤ 🇸🇮

[@Stephbraz-4]

If the mind is asking “what is the mind?” Then what else is there appart from the mind? When you say WE, are you referring to our minds? What are we?

[@jiryfoeman2639]

Make your panic your friend to link with awareness.

[@mindremapping-themindsmirr3679]

The mind is a Mirror.....

[@lopo8000]

The Mind is an Super Advanced Astral Ai Programm running thorugh your brain

[@user-yn9vp4xn1o]

Human memory

[@orii-raepoole5446]

He didnt explain what the mind is

[@nickeydeemedia5311]

It is because your mind tells you he didn't - which is what he just explain about what the mind is, it is the seat of our thinking. But you know the world we are in today, everybody is trying to define the same thing with different languages and expressions.

[@Saurabhgupta23671]

Question : what is mind? Answer : this is mind.

[@KHABIB-TIME]

Q. Who created the mind?

[@LifelessMonk]

What is mind?​@@KHABIB-TIME

[@KHABIB-TIME]

@@LifelessMonk I do not know the definition, but I believe I have a mind. Do you believe you have a mind, whatever it may mean to be?

[@LifelessMonk]

@@KHABIB-TIME to know I have mind, I have to know the definition of mind. Like what is mind? I think the mind is nothing but the function of the brain. If this is the mind then yes I do have a mind.

[@KHABIB-TIME]

@@LifelessMonk 😀 see, it wasn't that difficult was it? I believe Allah/The Creator created us with that faculty i.e. mind. How do you explain it's existance in yoru world view? Thank you.

[@papinoo1159]

Don't get this explanation!

[@johannamkuhn]

If it doesnt make sense now in might in the future, i didnt understand a video my friend sent at first on the different dimensions but after a lil while i rewatched and it clicked

[@Pozrfb]

mind creates reality.

[@vytautaskunevicius9731]

wait wait Buddy. this is thinking, what You said on mind , but not a mind. thinking is one of mind functions, beside feeling, senses, an intellect, memory... mind is empty, according to nature, and don't creates any problems. if You found Your an eternal face (consciousness) as empty.

[@seventh5604]

I agree with you.. but what's Mingyer Rinpoche told also not worng... Rinpoche just discribe the mind by there action and function...

[@Shayanraj_15]

Mind is pala pala pala , yada yada yada

[@Pozrfb]

This is just a part of the mind. there are no two or more minds. it's one.
