For today’s episode, I’m honoured to welcome Master Shi Heng Yi. He belongs to the 35th generation of Shaolin Masters and began practising Kung Fu at the age of four. In the 36 years since, he’s acquired a wealth of knowledge in Chinese martial arts and Zen Buddhism. He’s now headmaster of the Shaolin Temple Europe in Germany, responsible for the physical and mental development of all the students and disciples of the Buddhist Order in Otterberg.
Along with the free videos he posts regularly to RUclips, Shi Heng Yi has several online training courses via his website, to help teach the basics of the ancient practices he lives by. He wants to bring the wisdom of ‘self-mastery’ to the world in a practical, tangible way - and he does just that in this episode.
This is a wonderful, profound conversation that explores what self-mastery means. While mastering a skill can be taught by others, self-mastery is a personal matter. Our awareness is naturally drawn outwards in life, so we need to cultivate the ability to look inwards.
We discuss some of the ways we can start to do this, from practices of mindfulness and gratitude, to following a structured day. Shi Heng Yi explains what we can learn from the restrictions of temple life, how to identify our attachments and find happiness and freedom within us. Self-mastery, he says, means choosing the middle path of harmony, balance and stability.
We discuss the notion of ‘owning’ ideas and wisdom and discuss the fact that there is no truly original thought. Shi Heng Yi explains that he is not sharing his teachings with the world, only what he has learned and witnessed in life. Everything is infinite so already exists somewhere. Finally, Master Shi Heng Yi explains a beautiful concept - and caution - that our thoughts can shape our destiny.
It really was a privilege for me to have an in-depth discussion with such a knowledgeable, wise and compassionate man. I hope you enjoy listening.

Incredibly true. I'm a psychologist with 11 years of experience working with people from all over the world, and all of this stuff is spot on. It's also been my experience that about 90% of all the problems we have come from being stuck in our faulty childhood and cultural conditioning / programming, which we never consciously chose, and continuing to deceive ourselves about our worth, skills and lovability. Once we stop lying to ourselves and face the hard truths about our lives, we empower and free ourselves from wasting our one and only life completely lost in auto pilot and self-deception
Love this, would you be up for a podcast to discuss this? Such an important subject and very close to my heart
.
😃👍
Inner Child healing is important too I think. Shame their are not many psychologists like you.
How can a person be manipulated through psychological abuse. And recover live a good life.
Oh my how true is the statement, "It's action that can start a change". I have struggled a lot since my illness of bacterial meningitis and the death of my Mum. Had a melt down and left my job as a result.
I've watched many pod casts by Dr Chatterjee and Master Shi Heng Li. Started reading books by Gabor Mate. Gone to therapy and took up a Martial Art. Wow! I've just had the best week I have had in many months. Something switched inside my mind and I feel much better for making a few changes.
I feel so good I've gone back to work on less hours to give myself a better balance.
I love this conversation, thank you ❤
Watch your thoughts because your thoughts are forming your words.
Be careful about your words because your words are shaping your actions.
Take care of what kind of actions you are doing because they are shaping your habits.
Be careful about what kind of habits you have because they are shaping your character.
Be careful what kind of character you are cultivating because it shapes your destiny.
Please quote the wise words of Buddha.
'In the evening be grateful for what happened during the day'
i e. A Practice of Gratitude
'We can complain because we are 'alive'.... it's a Gift... don't take it (your life) for granted.....
Give me a break
Yeah, they're taking mine slowly
Buddhism rocks and I am enjoying it. I would like to search for Bodhidharma's Indian village. I am a freelance researcher in Bihar in India where the Buddha moved around. I realize the Buddhist world failed to study and recognize Indian Buddhism in India. Buddhism in eastern UP and Bihar in India is alive and kicking. Sir, I have some good news. Day before yesterday I videographed the Vimalakirti's temple which marks the spot where he preached when he was sick, I videographed Kotigama where the Buddha would stay, I videographed Amrapali's property. Sir, she was stinking rich. She was the owner of ten sq km of land which she got through her profession. I videographed the place where her musicians lived, where she lived, where the Buddha's foster mother Maha Prajapati Gautami lived. And to top it all I videographed the exact spot where she attained Parinirvana. Locals pray to her as a village deity and they maintain the place where she died. It is a lovely temple with no statues or pictures of God. There were five tiny stupas on the spot she attained Parinirvana. I will be releasing the videos in my channel in a few days. If I can find Maha Prajapati Gautamies Parinirvana spot, I am confident I can find Bodhidharma of the Shaolin fame.
This was just extraordinary. Thanks so much for this. I have a little mantra that has been a reset button for me on my journey. When something bugs me at work and I find my thoughts shifting to the monkey mind of judgment and blame I say to my self, "I change my thoughts and I change my actions. I am building myself a better life." Since I also do parts work, IFS, I sometimes say we instead of I depending on the situation.
I appreciate how Dr Chatterjee recognizes how the messaging online are constantly contradicting each other, and people are outsourcing their own inner expertise to other people. I’ve suffered and felt the most lost in life from thinking I’ve found the answer from RUclips gurus only to realize I’ve stopped hearing myself. Shi Heng Yi is one of the few people I still listen to online.
I'm surprised that people think it would be any other way.
We are supposed to have people working in scientific fields that have different theories.
I don't know why people expect scientists to all have the same theories. That would be odd.
Pretty sure by default scientists/researchers SHOULD contradict eachother. Far too many variables in humans to just buy into one theory.
it's a dream come true to see you both speaking with one another, thank you for bringing forth this experience!
This is confirmation to continuing my pursuit of the quality of life I am endeavoring to cultivate…❤
Dr. Chatterjee, through your interviews many of us can gain very valuable life skills.
During this day and age when the world is heading in a very materialistic direction people need proper guidance towards a more balanced life. This is a blessing to the community.
Thank you for your work.
May you be blessed with good health, peace and joy ❤
Thank you guys for this wonderful conversation.
God bless both of you ✨
This was utterly amazing: the clarity, sincerity, simplicity, and honesty of Shi Heng Yi were impressive as well as touching. Rangan´s finesse in interviewing, his humane touch, and his understanding of his guests together with guiding the interview instinctively by posing the very questions the listener wants to hear next! I will listen to this again, for sure: it has helped me move forward on a clearer path. Thank you both.
So lovely seeing Shi Heng Yi here.
On the subject of habit, there seems to be something else going on.
It may be simply when a habit is formed: as a child, habits have the chance to stick more readily, like brushing teeth.
It may also be whether the action has a neutral psychological quality or history.
The point is, some habits take little effort and some, no matter how long I've been doing it or how virtuous/non-virtuous, just drop.
After months of yoga, breath work, and meditation, I woke up one day and shrugged my shoulders.
After years of smoking (20) I also woke one day, took 3 puffs and never smoked again.
🤷♀🤔🙄
That's great right moment & time for you to give up smoking. You did it yourself...no one can make anyone give up smoking I know first hand "I wish it had been that easy for my Husband" addictions are the pits Smoking should have been banned in 70's & they should have blown up smoke industry when really starting to know dangers it's legalised so easy to get is so addictive easy to get hooked. I take off my hat to you as takes lot of strengths they liken it to giving up cocaine. I think giving up smoking or any addictions is huge best thing can do for self. Best wishes.
Wonderful conversation and so much to think about that makes total sense. I feel I need to stop...reboot my life...and live with more self awareness in order to fully realise this precious gift of our life. 🙏🙏
Thank you dear Master. For your time and your goodness. 🙏
'For new habits to come in something old must go' ........
Thank you!
Watching from Myanmar. Today a monk from Bhutan contacted me and your video just appeared. I love how everything I wish for appears. I make videos in Myanmar on life here in a Bhuddist land. If you stay true to your path and listen to the call all will unfold for you
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Rangan, you are my Buddha of the 21st century! I am so darn happy that we are contemporaries. And as always: VIVA the Internet!
Don't take a life for granted! Love it 💖 Life is a gift. Thank you, Master Shi Heng Yi ☀️🙏
amen 🙏 🙏,
Structure and organization, even if that means restriction, are vital to figuring out your life's direction. I've found that making small, enjoyable, attainable goals and working towards them daily work best. There is great satisfaction found in such creativity. And THEN you can raise the bar if you want.
I like the set meal times. You sit down and savor the food. You are grateful for it. Indeed, gratitude resonates much higher than even love. It's where the universe blesses us time and time again.
Thank you and I’ve enjoyed this one very much. I’ve been watching Master Shi Heng Yi for a long while and implementing the teachings he shares in my journey. I have been listening to you as well for a bit and learn. I appreciate the well rounded of ones you have and from your view of this interview.
This was one of the best conversations I have seen on the internet. Such beautiful wisdom with so much clarity I loved every second of it. Thank you Rangan for sharing! And thank you Master Shi Heng Yi!!!
I am 2 months into the self mastery program and have to say the methods that Master Shi Heng Yi and the Shaolin Temple lay out work. I was sceptical at first but even in this short time I have noticed a difference. Thank you for the interview.
This podcast was so good. Thank you for this Dr. Chatterjee!
This was brilliant and the final 5+ minutes are gold.
What a great perspective!
Grateful for being alive. He says "Don't take it for granted." That's a pretty solid foundation!
Very inspiring individual.
Really looking forward to listening to this podcast, I love his qigong practices
Brilliant interview. Some very simple but effective information provided. Thank you Rangan.
What a wonderful interview. Full of wisdom and compassion. Thanks to both of you.
Thank you!!! Lots to learn and put into practice from this podcast!!!🙏🙏🙏
Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power.
- Lao Tzu
That is the one and only thing in life you have complete and total control over. That also gives you complete responsibility and 100% ownership of the results of your actions through life.
This is a fascinating discussion, thank you.
This video is liquid gold for my mind and the journey I'm going through! Thank you to both of you ❤
Thank you. I like compassion. I like learning. I love. ❤
Thank you for this wonderful conversation!
Thank you..I love listening to you
This is absolutely amazing!! I'm going to watch this often!
Thank you! I am so grateful for the respect you show each other and yourself😊
Thank you I appreciate your time 🙏🏿
Truly awesome!!! Thank you so so very much
"what would happen if the bubble bursts?" that was powerful. Thank you
INCREDIBLE ....many many thank you for this precious direction
This interview was incredibly calming . Thank you
Shi Heng Yi .s work and sharing of wisdom is beneficial. I studied gigong and taichi some years ago to find clarity, focus and balance after a burnout and the results were amazing. Amituofo
Thank you for the interesting interview ❤ I find it’s very insightful & helpful ❤
Thankyou for your insight. I’ve found this content very useful to cope with today’s toxicity online in particular ❤
Thank you, beautiful interview
🕊️💗🌎
Thank you Doc
Another thought provoking, and inspiring conversation 😊
Brilliant. Thank you!
this was THE SESSION I WAS LOOKING FOR SOME OF MY LIFE DILEMMAS! I THANK YOU FOR THIS ENLIGHTENMENT. You have touched my life in a deeper way ...I follow Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism and i could understand your perspective so well. Each Word made so much sense! Amazingly profound session....look forward to more from you.
So beautifully conducted as always. Great questions keeping all the generations in Mind. It shows you really feel for the Audience. Great Work. Will always be Thankful to You
I couldn't have imagined a better Gift or present for Valentine's Day than this 0ne!! 🎁❤🙏
thank you, thank you for this truth
It Will Take An Eternity To Break Us, It Will Take The Whole Sky's To Hold Us!!! @shi heng yi
Grateful for everything
Fantastic episode. Thank you doctor for bringing this amazing monk.
With respect, he is not a monk… he explains this himself during the chat 🙏🏼🙂
Really interesting conversation from both sides . Thankyou 🙏
Man! What an amazing interview. So much truth.
I'm starting this transformation thank you for your teachings 🙏
Another awesome episode Dr Chatterjee. So many ideas brought up here resonate with me. Lots of food for thought & this podcast has given me a greater awareness of issues such as attachment (to food, for example!!": my struggle!)
Dr. Chatterjee you are a blessing in my life. Thank you!
Knowledge is power. For example, taking fasting as an example: Understanding the ins and outs of fasting arms you appropriately both to understand why it might be useful (e.g. blood sugar control, authophagy) and how to approach it if it is not part of your routine so you have the best possible experience.
Healthy body - healthy mind
Very interesting.
25:57 Yes, I agree... too many choices today... becoming stagnant because we can't CHOOSE. Very good point and found myself there, overwhelmed, confused, frustrated...but made the decision...NO MORE.... I unsubscribed from all the different websites I'd been connected to, trying to figure myself and my life out. Now... I only listen, for now... do Dr. Chatt's vids...and by slowly learning, absorbing, acknowledging, identifying, I then try to incorporate what I learn into positive change in my life. I will not be bombarded anymore by "so many choices" -it's crazy out there. Enough to make a person mad, I say. I'm choosing one thing...one thing at a time and try to do that well, for a bit and see... observe, watch how I progress, how I feel. One thing to focus on and commit to, for now. Otherwise, it's like trying to do 10 things well and ya don't get not one of 'em right! Thank you so much Dr. Chattergee - I see you are humble enough to learn as well. Bless your heart and keep up this awesome work. I appreciate you and all your efforts in offering such wonderful interviews to the public. YOU, are helping people!
This is one of the most beautiful conversations I have heard. Thank you❤ I enjoyed every moment. The energy this has cultivated within me is beyond the expression of words❤

I'm done ✅ how about you 😂😂😂I'm back
Thanr you, Master. Perfect.
Thank you
Super podcast.
Wonderful....
Master Shaolin Kung Full
woow this is one of the smartest and most intresting things I have ever listened to 🙏
Fantastic video, thank you both so very much. My problem has always been I think to much, but now I think I must take the correct action and not to be lazy looking for the easy way out.
one of my favs ! and hes easy to hear, good sound quality
Hearing the message of this interview reminds me to go further than the day before and be grateful foreever the day brings, even it is a slow process, not seen from the outside.The beauty of the flower or tree has his genetic code from the beginning in itself , but the nourisment of water or other minerals decide, where the plant is redirected, in which direction and how this plant grows, its the question of the how, not of quanitity
I just wished I had known this ages ago. I now watch the Danish Series with much understanding. I would so much like to come and learn♥️
'Body, Mind, our Emotional state must be healthy' ....
Thank you thay. 💛
And now I feel as though a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders ❤
Last question, the world is now crazy. We need someone with wisdom, structure, guidance and teaching, that helps civilisation bring common sense back into our learning and life that humanity has lost, in order to move on. And a good place to start would be with Master Shi Heng Yi ❤️🙏
It is so interesting some of the similarities between Buddhism and Stoicism.
Do not place your happiness in external things.
Avoid complaints/negative thoughts as this controls your actions.
Fantastic episode.
Body and Mind Connection !!!❤
Freedom comes from
inside without condition to anything ☯️🙏❤️
Danke ❤️

Master's candid admission at around minute 59:57 was priceless. First time I've seen him (almost) laugh! Thanks Dr Rangan for bringing this to us.
Dr. Chatterjee you are a blessing in my life. Thank you!!!!!
Wow!!
Get over it! 😂 Love it ❤ Nowadays that's what needed 😉
Fixing our life is a good topic. On how to
I am in this situation at my workplace. I have realised what it has done to me. So I have resigned from my job and am moving on.
Wow
You are correct
Way too many experts who are not actually experts at all
Why prof...😂😂😂 I'm back
At 15:00 i think i know amd he just said it , i just finnished 2x 10 sessions of silience and my second session my mind took off but like 25 years ago in a room while meditation was on and i could not do it that day because of thought, so they told me to concentrate on breeding when it happens amd suddenly , i was there in peace and this went on for 15 to 20 min of silence. So to uncondition and recondition is the key. But more so to keep breathing with discipline and let the mind become easy within itself. How else can it be done? Let the scenarios happen and use a bit of your ego to intimidate itself and it suddenly leaves you alone, so .......awarness is also the key on the progression of stillness.
Take it from one who knows: Minimalist shoes are great for those who have minimal foot problems to begin with. I've worn them and thought they were wonderful. But due to tendon, ligament, and collagen issues, my feet never sufficiently strengthened, and I began to have severe hip pain and knee pain due to my feet turning inward.
If you have fallen arches, bunions, or any other foot issue, be it structural, organic, or due to injury, wear what your podiatrist prescribes. Or find what makes your feet and hips feel better, because believe me, if you don't, your whole musculo skeletal system will eventually suffer, and that is disastrous.
Sometimes, devices like orthotics need to take over the load. Don't feel guilty about that.
Boy you slide those adds in real smooth man lol
I feel we don't possess the comprehension as to how absolutely unique we actually are right this very moment, but because we want to know we restrict our abilities & then we build our civilizations within this boundary, maybe its conditioning, but it's almost like our development is obsolete by the time it's constructed, now if meditation is carried out then we get more knowledge of what's going on & why I think it should absolutely be part of the educational curriculum. June 22nd, World Peace day, let's chill relax & take in what this Universe advices ❤
Master your thoughts your mind
1:32:21 Create a bridge to change. That's it. Action is needed. No more Dr. Chatter vids, no more Master Shi vids... just *action.*
Right Doctor..fasting is a matter of restrictions you put in your body
