5 Hindrances 1. Sensual desire (pleasures & distractions) 2. ill will (negative mind) 3. Slothful body & mind (lack of energy, lack of motivation) 4. Restlessness (worry about the future or regret about the past, unable to stay in the present) 5. Skeptical doubt (indecisiveness) Each of these hindrances is placing a dark cloud on your mind. Solution: Align and structure your life to prevent these hindrances from arising. 4 Steps to remove these Hindrances 1. Recognize (what state of mind you’re in) 2. Accept (accept and allow situations and people to be the way it is/they are) 3. Investigate (your emotional & mental state) - “why did it come up?” “what is the consequence if I remain in that state?” 4. Non identification (practice “I’m not the body, I’m not mind, I’m not my emotion, I can just see all these 3 aspects about me”)
Five hinderance is clearly specified in the sutras, and the ONLY solution, also specified, is four foundations of mindfulness. However, his solution is totally unheard of from Buddhism.
It's not really. Not downplaying anything. But when you consider what the word amazing really describes he's just being present. The amazing thing is that people need fillers.
@Vincent Clay Thank you for the suggestion. I already know about Toastmasters. I used to live in Denver. They obviously are successful at their goal. But I feel their process is more focused on the effects, the results. I feel like it's like cheerleading. The stimuli is external (world championship of public speaking?). I always try to approach things from a spiritual perspective.
Took some notes for myself and now sharing them for anyone who might find them valuable :) 5 Hindrances to Self-Mastery 1. Sensual desire (sight/touch/taste/smell/hearing) = Am I addicted? 2. Ill will / aversion = Am I feeling a negative emotion? 3. Dullness / heaviness = Am I unmotivated? 4. Restlessness = Is my mind jumping from though to thought? 5. Sceptical doubt = Am I indecisive? Rain (is the solution) Recognise which one you're experiencing Accept that's what you're experiencing Investigate why you're experiencing it Non-identify with that experience: 'i am not the body, i am not the mind, i am not my emotion' I wish the talk would go on for longer and if he could share stories of people overcoming each of them :)
Sensual mind Negative mind Slothful mind Unsettled mind Skeptical doubt "Align and structure your life in a way to prevent these hindrances" 1. Recognize 2. Accept 3. Investigate 4. Non-Identity There are 2 mistakes along the way to mastery 1. Not starting 2. Not going all the way
There is a sixth hindrance, most agree: Greed. This is desire; as in the desire for things to be other than they are actually and right now. In prison I learned "it's all right here." Or as another remarked, the greatest obstacle to happiness is our idea that there's a way things should be.
@@professionalpunter1154 I don't wanna sound like one of those new age hippies but you need to meditate. In simple terms, you are not the Car(The body and it's emotions), you are the driver inside it(the observer). Realizing that lets you take a step back from your emotions/worries and look at them more rationally.
"If any of you chooses to climb that path to clarity, I will be happy to meet you at the peak." I've never heard anything so confident ever before in my life. Best Ted Talk I've seen.
Almost 14 years ago I participated in a program in the Shaolin temple where he used to live. This guy taught me proper meditation and breathing skills and shared his story with me. Absolutely fantastic person with an unbelievable amount of discipline and a mind which is the strongest I've ever encountered. One time the other 3 guys who were in the temple and I couldn't keep up with him and the monks and we fell behind during the morning routine. As punishment we had to do 500 push ups which sounded completely unreal but he said we won't get to eat unless we finished it. He said all this in a very calm voice and we just did it. He taught me how to achieve anything if you're disciplined and calm enough. 非常谢谢师父!
He means - not physically - you & him are one.. a reflection of each other. The peak is a metaphor for losing the ego.. something that has destroyed the essence of existence ❤️🙏
As a german i can hear his german accent, what a wonderful time to be alive! A german chinese shaolin teaching me something about self mastery in english!
@@biancahotca3244 it is very subtile and i think one has to be a native german speaker to hear it, is the way some few sounds are made and used by him that i clearly can hear his german speaking backround. And i believe you that he also has a chinese accent many foreign families I know here in germany have kids that where raised truly bilingual, Perfect german for outside and perfect mother language with the family. I guess this man is such a case.
The way he speaks, the way he moves, his gestures, his serenity, his clarity and purposeful words, the invisible wave of energy that seems to emanate from him, sending off an ethereal vibe... My goodness, I want to climb the mountain just to meet him at the peak. I shall see you there one day!
Hi, I'm 18 and I had already came up with the idea of those principles and been already preventing those hindrances. My idea was not as clear as those given hindrances but I had an idea that those stuff were affecting me and preventing me from studying. So not really 1000 years ig. It's just not everyone really realizes this and keeps repeating the same mistakes.
@@3f3f-y4m These teaching of letting go , being present and learning to turn inward(through meditation) and letting go of the identification and attachment to the body , mind and emotions has been taught for millenia. You saying that you had already come up with those teaching all by yourself is very unlikely or you don't really understand the message. Specially if you live in the western world where The system is setup to look for everything outside of yourself and never learning to "know thyself"
Hi @@forexdissector9565 I am not sure how deep it is taught and practiced in Temples, but I was talking only about the very hindrances mentioned in the video. Sure, I haven't come up with the practices and teachings you mentioned and neither did he mention them in the video. However, I had come up with an idea that those hindrances were affecting me and I have been always trying to prevent it. For example, I have realized that to keep on a steady pace of studying 12-14 hours a day, I should go to library. Because home is too comfortable. I stop caring about goals at home. I should not have fun with friends for long, because if I do, my discipline and focus is ruined and I should build it all over again. There's more but I hope you got the idea. Thanks to my trials to trying to realize what's going on with myself, what's causing it, and how to prevent it, and thus studying hard, I got accepted to a top 50 university with full ride scholarship as an international student Alhamdulillah. The speech given by Master Shi Heng Yi has so much wisdom indeed, it cleared my ideas and sorted them into categories, and therefore my respect to Buddhism and teachings of Shaolin temple increased to more than before.

"If any of you chooses to climb that path to clarity, I would be very happy to meet you at the peak." What a statement. Such a beautiful speech. Thank you sir!
@@11soWoo No one's EGO can climb that mountain. Think about it. How can You meet anyone at the peak? Obviously, when You are there - it is not already You and definitely not the Master.
@@tubomania in case you didn’t get it, the story of the travelers and the mountain is a metaphor to symbolize personal growth, so it’s not a literal mountain. That’s what his whole speech is about. You’re not gonna meet the master or anybody there. He also mentioned 5 hindrances, I think you’re victim to 2-3 of them either a skeptical doubt or negative mind/aversion or both. The master mentioned 2 types of travelers, what he didn’t mention is a 3rd traveler, that’s you 😂😆 Let me put it this way- You have people that work hard to get to where they are at in life to achieve their own goal and overcame the 5 hindrances. Then you also have people that depends on others to achieve that goal. You also have people that think the goal is impossible and doesn’t quite get it and chooses not to have any goal at all. The master’s story is one of many symbolisms. You can apply it to any scenario and the rules still apply. Let me give another one, I have friends that are MD from med school because thy studied hard and didn’t need anyone’s help and wasn’t born with a silver spoon, i also have friends that were sociable and had help in finishing their education via study groups/family/friends support, and then I also have friends that goes “college is not for me” without even trying to apply, “i’m too old to go to school,” or “i’m not smart enough.” Either their negative mind had clouded their judgement or made the decision for them or they’re just too lazy iono. If you don’t care about your personal growth then no1 can help you in that regard because only YOU can do it, it’s personal for a reason. I joked about it all the time to my my wife “huney, can you go pee FOR me?” she was like “what? that’s impossible! Your bladder is full, not mine”😂 Then, the next time chocolate came around, she didn’t save me any, she was like “ughh...I ate it FOR you??” .....🤦♂️😆😂 (don’t mess with women) 🤦♂️
I got panic when I saw the clock kept running and he only got 3 mins left while he was not finishing. Seriously, I got super anxious and worried. But seeing him being so calm makes me realize that my anxiety is what I need to deal with. And his strong mind really says something about the stability of oneself, being mindful and calm even when others are pushing us
If you came to the comments looking to get an idea of what this talk was about, don’t be like the man asking other travelers about what they observed at the top of the mountain. Watch the video and gain your own clarity.
roy brooks actually, no. Because: he is talking about how these hindrances affect your own personal journey. This is different from everybody else and you must adapt to them. Summarizing the video filters out the main points, but there may be some details left, which might be important.
What is important in this lifetime? 1. Sharing with others 2. Connections 3. Training, developing, and enjoying yourself by doing nothing or finding the time to do the things you love to do. All of our lives are too unique to copy the path of someone else. To bring meaning and value to your life, you need to MASTER YOURSELF and don't let hindrances stop you.
I feel Master Shi Heng Yi has told me how I can live again my life stopped on the 4th of march 2019 when my wife passed away suddenly. He has just said how to live again not just exist I will follow what I learnt to day and learn to live again .Thank you so much Master shi Heng Yi
While I am happy for her release back into that next place, I'm sorry for your loss. It is such a gift to find love. It can be such a challenge to learn to love your life when it has gone.
Garry Bowers you have experienced probably the worst of emotions, loss. Dispair. But it will get better. Just know that she looks at you from that other dimension and smiles at you, and she wants you to be happy. So be glad you experienced love and be happy, being YOU, the guy she fell in love with. God bless you sir!
Do you guys even notice how he didn’t care about the chrono time, he wanted to finish his message and he did it we such respect and calm. Stay bless people.
I can't believe I wasn't the only one nervous at around the 45th second wondering whether they'll cut him short. I was so immersed in the listening that the simple solution of checking the remaining video length was momentarily oblivious to me.
@@muchiribantu3226 There is no need to worry about the trouble, when you can only reach your destination as scheduled. A good time to be, is any time at all.
I am from a poor & developing country, people said that I never have a chance to study abroad because I don't have enough resources but I manage to save money and apply to learn Master degree in US with financial aid program. And finally I get the US Visa for studying. There are people happy for me but there are still people keep telling me I am nothing, I could not climb that high mountain. There are still many challenges ahead, sometimes I am scared but I still keep going. Be strong to discover the world.
You are doing great. The people who are speaking negatively towards you are called crabs in a basket they see someone doing great they want to pull you back in that basket or the phrase who do you think you are. You know who you are and keep moving against the forces that are trying to push you back! Keep moving forward! 😊
Haha, I was thinking the same ❤️. Even the slide got changed ahead a couple of times, but he switched it back. Love his energy & calmness 😍. I wish I was like that in my daily activities.
not sure which sect he is in the shaolin temple, not all are in the warrior sect some remain in the religious sect. Though he seems fit so who knows. Agreed, he prolly would pay for the bills and befriend.
I keep coming back to this because it is so TRUE!!! Knowing how to focus is the ULTIMATE SUPERPOWER in this age and generation where everything is calling for your attention
Grounded ? l was thinking more dull than anything else, with a terribly uninteresting message that can be had from any half baked non duality teacher these days. A bit slow more than grounded in that very German sort of way, appealing perhaps to the unaware masses these talks tend to attract. Interesting to see different perceptions depending on one's perspective.
cspace1234nz he’s a very good talker but he’s completely right. if you’re mind controls ur whole body what happens when your mind gets in the wrong place? you’re whole body goes down. these people know what their talking about and maybe you should take some advice :)
@@cspace1234nz The way you talk is like you know something we don't. If that's the case, please enlighten us "unaware masses". What he is saying might be simple, but truthful. I also believe he handled himself well, and didn't see it as "dull".
@@danieldufur7474 when you undo all the extra conditioning (including dopamine overload from hyperstimulation) and re awaken your natural life energy then yes it does actually feel like joy and happiness
I have always been a generally happy person. I really think it is either because of my childhood, genetics, or choice/perspective. I choose not to worry because one day I will exhale my last breath-that is something to worry about-everything else is a gift.
If you are not body, if you are not mind, if you are not emotion then who are you? You are a combination of all 3. If you are to emotional, you become animalistic. If you are too disciplined you become a mechanical man. Exist in the middle free to flow back and forth but always returning to center.
@@dsvet awesome commment "If you are to emotional, you become animalistic. If you are too disciplined you become a mechanical man." Everything in this life is about balance and the hard part is keeping that balance on everything that you do
It's amusing how closely aligned modern psychology has aligned with buddhist teachings. It's as though as a profession they looked to their teachings and realised: These guys have already got us beat. They've wrapped all concepts covered in these talks in western language - Cognitive behaviour therapy.
Yes! At first I talked back to him in my mind, “I feel it. How dare you tell me I am not my feeling?” Then I realized what he meant. My emotions, my thoughts and my worries are just the state of minds or actions and they are not ME. We suffer because we identify ourselves with our state of feelings or doings.
Same here, if an 18 minute video can change your perspective and restore faith in yourself wholly - then imagine what years of buddhist training can accomplish. I deeply admire the wisdom these people carry within themselves, but also the discipline.
Theres this amazing essence to him. He's so sure himself. He knows himself. Its seen in every movement he makes. Knowledge of the self is truly a very powerful thing
I have been avoiding this video for years, thinking “I don’t want to be lectured or taught something in such a disciplined and cold manner, as the monks go very deep into and make me uncomfortable” but everything this man uttered had a place of good intention and understanding just how difficult this self journey can be if we do not have the right track to go. I stumbled into this video on autoplay while dozing off and I was amazed at how focused this speech was, and how some thing as simple as mountain climbing stories let us know what is happening within our self destructive behaviours. From what I heard, now there is a root for me to make more conscious choices and not identify too strongly with what I experience day-to-day. The first step was admitting it and now I hope to begin my walk on you all and see things clearly.
The most important part is practicing. "I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am not my emotion. It's just that I can see all this three aspect about me"
💟 *That's because you are the Impartial Spectator, the Watcher - the real you is "One" with G'd, your Divine Soul. And therefore your actions will be without the 5 hindrances, based on love, what is needed in the here and now, as "G'd's Spirit" further directs the way you should be.. Salvation comes from true self-realization.* 🙏🏽
@@sallyironic4251you are the awareness behind them. You are something higher than the body, the mind and the emotion. You are the thing that´s aware of these three things. Pure consciousness.
Just pasting that over your experience won't free you from appropriating the body and the mind, though. You actually have to stop acting out of your appropriation of these things.

I sped it up, but then listened to it twice. Once before going to bed and once after waking up, also took notes and summarized. I am grateful to have access to technology that allows us to do such...
WOW..i felt something weighing off my neck when he said, ' I'm not my body, mind and emotion ..yes indeed, Buddhism is a spiritual transformation tutorial that leads to awakening. I'm never the same after watching the lecture😇
@Oh Dae-Su Any form of sensory experience can be used as meditation. Meditation references a particular state of Being. That state is dependent on a conscious choice by the Self in how it views and experiences the present moment, regardless of whatever's happening or being perceived in that particular moment. This TED Talk is just as much a valid form of meditation as spending an hour or two sitting in one spot and repeatedly bringing your awareness back to your breath. You're approaching this like meditation is a specific computer program, when really it's seeing how all binary code is still just a bunch of 0's and 1's regardless of how the code expresses itself.
i find myself listening to other peoples journeys , the trouble they encountered the sights they have seen , it has set me on the right path , however it has also made me confident that i do not need to journey since i alerady have seen it , today this talk made me realize i stopped halfway
My takeaway from the video 1. Studies may not bring happiness and knowledge of self. 2. Ancient practices are meant to find self 3. Sharing with others, training to find the ways that I like to do 4. Traveller asks the experience of reaching the top of mountain and decides not to go 5. Each person must find his own, it's impossible to share how 6. Clarity and better decisions - decide by self and it's personal challenges. 7. The 5 hinderences 1. Sensual desire - positive emotions (seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling, hearning) 2. Ill will and aversion - negative state of mind 3. Dullness Recognise accept investigate non identification( depression) 4. Restlessness - thinking about past and fearing about future. Monkey mind 5. Sceptical doubt - indecisiveness And getting disconnected from goals 8. I have to align the life in such a way to prevent the hinderences . Each of these hinderences are dark cloud in the path. Just let it rain Recognise accept - to be the way how they are Investigate - why it came, what is consequences of me staying there Non-identification - I'm not the body, I'm not mind We are unique and must not copy from someone else. To bring meaning and value in life I must choose not the hinderences to stop me . There are two mistakes in life : not starting and not reaching where I have to reach Edit: I have learned a lot after this video. Its just 3 weeks and I'm excited for life ahead of learning
I am not my this body, I am not my mind. Those learn Buddhism will know Buddha teachings is the utmost truth. Buddhism is not about superstition nor it is a religion.
I spent the day listening to buddhism ways and I watched the buddha documentary. Truly never thought I'd be so calm from acceptance of pain & suffering.
Can you please explain then: how can we be Buddhist activists? How can accepting pain and suffering allow us to challenge inequality and violence? I’m very good at accepting pain and suffering until I’m experiencing it (or my loved ones)
@@TD-ln2tg I have no idea, I wanted to save the world sometime ago and something happened that I realised I could not - me trying to save everyone around me was removing away their lessons required for their highest purpose I believe we can only accept and share our wisdom we cannot unfortunately save another though because if we stop the lesson we may stop the blessing too? Idk my head is in weird stages right now working out what I believe to be true but I am so much calmer with what I have already.
I didn't mean we cannot calm/help another such as energy reiki etc but I don't think I know how to be an activist just yet I have been sharing my thoughts within my own community some listen some dont but I talk anyway.
Master SHY is a real gem and treasure to humanity. His wisdom penetrates our mind, body and soul. I am a pure christian Catholic and I believed and practiced its teaching but somehow we also need wisdom and teaching such as these. I have watched some of his talks and its really great and amazing. God bless you always Master SHY. Namaste,,😍 🙏🙏🙏
Wow. He has described everything that is stopping me in a way I can completely understand. In 18 mins he has literally made more sense than anything else I have read, heard or experienced about finding my own path. Such a presence. It actually made me cry in recognition.
And so was I! It's the first time ever I've come to see a human being so aligned. I wish I was raised in his Shaolin Temple 😅 In the meantime, I practice his Qi Gong online to discipline my mind and love it.
My bet is that nothing he said was rehearsed. Buddhist monks are, I know, forbidden to consider beforehand what they will say in public speaking occasions. I suspect it is the same among the shaolin.
Much respect from me to this respectful man of discipline. Thank You Brother. 👍❤ Everything I need to know I learned in kindergarten. The trick is putting it into practice. Oh yes, that is my problem, getting myself to become what I know my Heavenly Father created me to be. The great awakening is upon us. I have prepared for this all my life. It's showtime, wish me well. Hope to see you at the peak before we fly into Eternity.❤🕊✌❤
The soothing voice coming from the mouth of this enlightened monk is like a gust of wind that blown some dead leaves from my soul resulting in lightness of my soul.
For me personally I had to speed up the video I couldn't keep my focus on the slow talking but what he said does make a lot of sense to me and it's important to me
@@vitlinh I agree with your point but for me personally my thoughts will go off into some random direction and I'll lose track of the talk and not remember it.
Thanks I knew most already but this video is a good summary recap. Sadly I have all 5 hindrances in my life as a kid I was really slacking but I'm sure given some time I'll overcome my troubles
He is like Bruce Lee, just without jokes to buy public attention. Straight to the point without any nonsense. Respecting the viewer knowing that true value sells itself.
One of the actual main issues is that we really don't understand the path at all, no matter what we would like to think, and it takes a true master who's actually accomplished it to show us the way. I found my teacher at Drukama, check out the tradition if you're interested (or anyone reading). Be well.
5 hiderance 1. Central desire from 5 sense 2. State of emotions (negative emotions) 3. Sloth and torpor (depression or self imprisonment) 4. Restlessness (Monkey Mind) 5. Skeptical doubt (what ? Why ? When?) Remove hiderance JUST LET IT RAIN 1. Recognize 2. Accept 3. Investigate 4.Non identify I am not the body I am not the mind I am not the emotions
The non-identity confuses me. "i am not the body. i am not the mind. i am not my emotions." Then what am i? Am i Chi energy? or a synthesis of body, Mind, and emotions?

This dude is just a dude with ideas. The veneration and subsequent fetishization of religious people is antithetical to what this dude is saying. The audiences coughed and chatted as much as they do with other speakers. The quietness of an audience is not metric by which a speaker’s quality may be characterized.
This man has no desires. He’s totally free from all things we cling onto that keeps our fragile egos from dismantling. thinking if we let it go, then our life itself ends. But in fact that’s when it finally begins. Lives end cause they can’t get over themselves. I’m finally starting to get over myself and my mind is becoming more free everyday I wake up.
@@przemysawkusmierczyk9513 I’m no expert man. But I think it’s more about the opportunitie itself and letting it come to you and when it does, you won’t hesitate to follow thru with it. The man in the story had a desire to climb the mountain which led to desiring to know what the mountain looked liked at the top, before he even attempted it himself. Therefore removing the desire to even do it. If it’s something he wanted to do. The first thing he should of done, is let it go and just focus on the things he needed to do as person to be able to even make the climb in the first place. Also he shouldn’t forget to just live life and enjoy it. When the opportunity comes he would of been ready for it and have the choice in doing it or not. Cause if you desire something. Do you really have a choice in it? Trying the best to articulate my thoughts and what I’m trying to say. Sorry if doesn’t make much sense mate.
@@Area-5l I see you have some serious insights on this. I'm glad. My provocative comment was supposed only to show that even "enlighted" monk can't escape from paradoxes, which life mostly consist of (in my opinion). Wish you luck.
He is not free from this, he has simply lived a life of practicing knowing the truth of this, therefore he sees "the enemy" even with eyes closed. He is indeed someone who can help others find that they are not invincible, nor are they a waste of space. The past is as real as the enemy we choose or choose not to see. Let us deal in wisdom to overcome our common enemy; OURSELVES. The mind is the forefront (frontline battlefield) where our choices manifest from what we do not see to the things we do.
Today "it comes Up" watching this for the forth time, I have connected with my situation and feeling my self seeing me & began to find stable of my emotion and clarity of my present situation. Thank you for your teaching and sharing.
I’ve lost count of how many times I have listened to this video. Recently, I went out of my way to find it and reincorporate it into my repertoire. This speech is worth listening to more than a popular song.
I learned those 5 hindrances at school when I was like 10, 12 years ago. I got an 'A' for Buddhism but still I clearly don't know what I studied. It was just a subject for me.

@@goldiegolderman1842 I think in Buddhism you are not a soul, there is just no eternal self. You are a compound and none of the seperate components is you. The Buddhist term for this is annatta or anatman (no-self).

This talk was one of the most motivational and beautiful speeches ever. I am shy to admit, I began half-listening to this with my "monkey mind". After the first minute I almost turned it off. The message delivered by Master Shi Heng Yi was slow and methodical. After forcing myself to listen I realize I really do struggle with the last 4 hindrances.

@Billionaires Vs Everyone Else Im sure he is talking about the end goal of his journey, that he will be there with hopes to meet someone on the same journey as his. Your comment is a sure sign that you're not a billionaire.
This is what the people needs to ponder and absolutely absorb.. Now its is 2021, New Year, New Hope and a New Life to make. Let us be inspired for what this good man has shared. To God be the Glory. Peace to the whole world.
I agree. Alot of westerners never understood this and probably joke around but what he says is a real buddhist teaching of life. You can tell many westerners never took their life seriously based on some of the comments that i read.
Very thankful for this video. I had a serious accident in my youth and the result was traumatic brain injury, blindness, and hearing loss all on my left side from a car accident. Now, in my 60s still fighting I feel I have protected myself directed my future, and survived my demons. These videos help me greatly, thank you, Master Shi Heng Yi.
I've been a Buddhist my whole life. I actually know all these facts but the thing is I never knew how to add the practice of dealing with the hindrances in my day to day life. This is great! Probably the best Ted talk I've come across!
It’s hard and very hard , I think you are missing consistency. “Questioning is a foundation of ability to learn , practice is a process of what you have learn to reality and master is the outcome of constant practice .”
Apparently, when you're a Shaolin monk, awesome music emanates from the surroundings whenever you speak.
That's him using ultra instinct.

5 Hindrances
1. Sensual desire (pleasures & distractions)
2. ill will (negative mind)
3. Slothful body & mind (lack of energy, lack of motivation)
4. Restlessness (worry about the future or regret about the past, unable to stay in the present)
5. Skeptical doubt (indecisiveness)
Each of these hindrances is placing a dark cloud on your mind.
Solution: Align and structure your life to prevent these hindrances from arising.
4 Steps to remove these Hindrances
1. Recognize (what state of mind you’re in)
2. Accept (accept and allow situations and people to be the way it is/they are)
3. Investigate (your emotional & mental state) - “why did it come up?” “what is the consequence if I remain in that state?”
4. Non identification (practice “I’m not the body, I’m not mind, I’m not my emotion, I can just see all these 3 aspects about me”)
Thank you for the wonderful summary.
Thank You 💟
Useful Thanks
Five hinderance is clearly specified in the sutras, and the ONLY solution, also specified, is four foundations of mindfulness.
However, his solution is totally unheard of from Buddhism.
Thankyou
Dude doesn't even say "um." He knows what he is going to say and is confident about it. Clarity rings true within.
It helps when you take pauses like he did, plus he probably learned how to stray from the rushed life society imposes on us
"Um" is not in the Shaoin vocabulary. The occasional "er" is acceptable, however ... 9:19, 15:02 for example.
He did once say “Uh” @9:20
@@ole01 "narcistic" cringe tbh learn how to type that
8:58 "You will encounter... uhhh... challenges"
He never said “um” or “so,” any other filler words/sounds. Amazing.
It's not really. Not downplaying anything. But when you consider what the word amazing really describes he's just being present. The amazing thing is that people need fillers.
@@everythingisaworkinprogres5729 That's the challenge though, being present in this day & age.

@@melanieliu3588 Yes, exactly my point. THAT is the amazing part.
@Vincent Clay Thank you for the suggestion. I already know about Toastmasters. I used to live in Denver. They obviously are successful at their goal. But I feel their process is more focused on the effects, the results. I feel like it's like cheerleading. The stimuli is external (world championship of public speaking?). I always try to approach things from a spiritual perspective.
Took some notes for myself and now sharing them for anyone who might find them valuable :)
5 Hindrances to Self-Mastery
1. Sensual desire (sight/touch/taste/smell/hearing) = Am I addicted?
2. Ill will / aversion = Am I feeling a negative emotion?
3. Dullness / heaviness = Am I unmotivated?
4. Restlessness = Is my mind jumping from though to thought?
5. Sceptical doubt = Am I indecisive?
Rain (is the solution)
Recognise which one you're experiencing
Accept that's what you're experiencing
Investigate why you're experiencing it
Non-identify with that experience: 'i am not the body, i am not the mind, i am not my emotion'
I wish the talk would go on for longer and if he could share stories of people overcoming each of them :)
you are great
Keep is going ! share your story.
Thank you....
Thanks, bro)
Thank you ))))
Sensual mind
Negative mind
Slothful mind
Unsettled mind
Skeptical doubt
"Align and structure your life in a way to prevent these hindrances"
1. Recognize
2. Accept
3. Investigate
4. Non-Identity
There are 2 mistakes along the way to mastery
1. Not starting
2. Not going all the way
And Non-Identity is "I'm not my body." "I'm not my mind." "I'm not my emotion." 无身，无心，无念

There is a sixth hindrance, most agree: Greed. This is desire; as in the desire for things to be other than they are actually and right now. In prison I learned "it's all right here." Or as another remarked, the greatest obstacle to happiness is our idea that there's a way things should be.
Thanks for saying it loud.
I like the pace at which he talks. No rush, just calmness and confidence.
"I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am not my emotion."

Almost 14 years ago I participated in a program in the Shaolin temple where he used to live. This guy taught me proper meditation and breathing skills and shared his story with me. Absolutely fantastic person with an unbelievable amount of discipline and a mind which is the strongest I've ever encountered. One time the other 3 guys who were in the temple and I couldn't keep up with him and the monks and we fell behind during the morning routine. As punishment we had to do 500 push ups which sounded completely unreal but he said we won't get to eat unless we finished it. He said all this in a very calm voice and we just did it. He taught me how to achieve anything if you're disciplined and calm enough. 非常谢谢师父!

He means - not physically - you & him are one.. a reflection of each other. The peak is a metaphor for losing the ego.. something that has destroyed the essence of existence ❤️🙏
That means, he has the best clarity about himself.

I hear it too! How cool!
🤗not that it matters but just for info he's a german of vietnamese origin instead of chinese 🙏
I don't hear a German accent at all, but a Vietnamese/German one. A German accent sounds totally different to me.
@@biancahotca3244 it is very subtile and i think one has to be a native german speaker to hear it, is the way some few sounds are made and used by him that i clearly can hear his german speaking backround.
And i believe you that he also has a chinese accent many foreign families I know here in germany have kids that where raised truly bilingual, Perfect german for outside and perfect mother language with the family. I guess this man is such a case.
His German accent is very mild compared to most Germans.
The way he speaks, the way he moves, his gestures, his serenity, his clarity and purposeful words, the invisible wave of energy that seems to emanate from him, sending off an ethereal vibe... My goodness, I want to climb the mountain just to meet him at the peak. I shall see you there one day!

Hi, I'm 18 and I had already came up with the idea of those principles and been already preventing those hindrances. My idea was not as clear as those given hindrances but I had an idea that those stuff were affecting me and preventing me from studying. So not really 1000 years ig. It's just not everyone really realizes this and keeps repeating the same mistakes.
@@3f3f-y4m These teaching of letting go , being present and learning to turn inward(through meditation) and letting go of the identification and attachment to the body , mind and emotions has been taught for millenia. You saying that you had already come up with those teaching all by yourself is very unlikely or you don't really understand the message. Specially if you live in the western world where The system is setup to look for everything outside of yourself and never learning to "know thyself"
Hi @@forexdissector9565 I am not sure how deep it is taught and practiced in Temples, but I was talking only about the very hindrances mentioned in the video. Sure, I haven't come up with the practices and teachings you mentioned and neither did he mention them in the video. However, I had come up with an idea that those hindrances were affecting me and I have been always trying to prevent it. For example, I have realized that to keep on a steady pace of studying 12-14 hours a day, I should go to library. Because home is too comfortable. I stop caring about goals at home. I should not have fun with friends for long, because if I do, my discipline and focus is ruined and I should build it all over again. There's more but I hope you got the idea. Thanks to my trials to trying to realize what's going on with myself, what's causing it, and how to prevent it, and thus studying hard, I got accepted to a top 50 university with full ride scholarship as an international student Alhamdulillah. The speech given by Master Shi Heng Yi has so much wisdom indeed, it cleared my ideas and sorted them into categories, and therefore my respect to Buddhism and teachings of Shaolin temple increased to more than before.

@@tubomania wrong mountain buddy, keep climbing
@@tubomania pllp.
GB a
@@11soWoo No one's EGO can climb that mountain. Think about it. How can You meet anyone at the peak? Obviously, when You are there - it is not already You and definitely not the Master.
@@tubomania in case you didn’t get it, the story of the travelers and the mountain is a metaphor to symbolize personal growth, so it’s not a literal mountain. That’s what his whole speech is about. You’re not gonna meet the master or anybody there. He also mentioned 5 hindrances, I think you’re victim to 2-3 of them either a skeptical doubt or negative mind/aversion or both. The master mentioned 2 types of travelers, what he didn’t mention is a 3rd traveler, that’s you 😂😆
Let me put it this way- You have people that work hard to get to where they are at in life to achieve their own goal and overcame the 5 hindrances. Then you also have people that depends on others to achieve that goal. You also have people that think the goal is impossible and doesn’t quite get it and chooses not to have any goal at all.
The master’s story is one of many symbolisms. You can apply it to any scenario and the rules still apply. Let me give another one,
I have friends that are MD from med school because thy studied hard and didn’t need anyone’s help and wasn’t born with a silver spoon, i also have friends that were sociable and had help in finishing their education via study groups/family/friends support, and then I also have friends that goes “college is not for me” without even trying to apply, “i’m too old to go to school,” or “i’m not smart enough.” Either their negative mind had clouded their judgement or made the decision for them or they’re just too lazy iono. If you don’t care about your personal growth then no1 can help you in that regard because only YOU can do it, it’s personal for a reason. I joked about it all the time to my my wife “huney, can you go pee FOR me?” she was like “what? that’s impossible! Your bladder is full, not mine”😂 Then, the next time chocolate came around, she didn’t save me any, she was like “ughh...I ate it FOR you??” .....🤦♂️😆😂 (don’t mess with women) 🤦♂️
I got panic when I saw the clock kept running and he only got 3 mins left while he was not finishing. Seriously, I got super anxious and worried. But seeing him being so calm makes me realize that my anxiety is what I need to deal with. And his strong mind really says something about the stability of oneself, being mindful and calm even when others are pushing us
That's what I was thinking😅 and you are absolutely right
Same. I thought "He's talking too slowly, he's not gonna make it".
Relaxxx people ❤😂
You are absolutely right

I met him personally in Germany last year. Truly a meeting that has left permanent marks on me. The spirit and energy from him is very fascinating.

This is different from everybody else and you must adapt to them.
Summarizing the video filters out the main points, but there may be some
details left, which might be important.
Right 👍🏾
What is important in this lifetime?
1. Sharing with others
2. Connections
3. Training, developing, and enjoying yourself by doing nothing or finding the time to do the things you love to do.
All of our lives are too unique to copy the path of someone else. To bring meaning and value to your life, you need to MASTER YOURSELF and don't let hindrances stop you.
This person has invested a lot of patience and time training himself. His presence shows strength.

A bit slow more than grounded in that very German sort of way, appealing perhaps to the unaware masses these talks tend to attract. Interesting to see different perceptions depending on one's perspective.

If you are not body, if you are not mind, if you are not emotion then who are you? You are a combination of all 3. If you are to emotional, you become animalistic. If you are too disciplined you become a mechanical man. Exist in the middle free to flow back and forth but always returning to center.

It's amusing how closely aligned modern psychology has aligned with buddhist teachings.

They've wrapped all concepts covered in these talks in western language - Cognitive behaviour therapy.
@@T3RRY_T3RR0R Right?!
Yes! At first I talked back to him in my mind, “I feel it. How dare you tell me I am not my feeling?” Then I realized what he meant. My emotions, my thoughts and my worries are just the state of minds or actions and they are not ME. We suffer because we identify ourselves with our state of feelings or doings.
Same here, if an 18 minute video can change your perspective and restore faith in yourself wholly - then imagine what years of buddhist training can accomplish. I deeply admire the wisdom these people carry within themselves, but also the discipline.
Then who are you?
Theres this amazing essence to him. He's so sure himself. He knows himself. Its seen in every movement he makes. Knowledge of the self is truly a very powerful thing

@@ktkktl4500 it's a life journey...definitely worth taking
It's important to work on both. We need balance everywhere in our lives.
Building the body and mind often go hand in hand. The world is chaotic because everyone's trying to fit in the restaurant.
I have been avoiding this video for years, thinking “I don’t want to be lectured or taught something in such a disciplined and cold manner, as the monks go very deep into and make me uncomfortable” but everything this man uttered had a place of good intention and understanding just how difficult this self journey can be if we do not have the right track to go. I stumbled into this video on autoplay while dozing off and I was amazed at how focused this speech was, and how some thing as simple as mountain climbing stories let us know what is happening within our self destructive behaviours. From what I heard, now there is a root for me to make more conscious choices and not identify too strongly with what I experience day-to-day.
The first step was admitting it and now I hope to begin my walk on you all and see things clearly.
The most important part is practicing. "I am not the body. I am not the mind. I am not my emotion. It's just that I can see all this three aspect about me"

And therefore your actions will be without the 5 hindrances, based on love, what is needed in the here and now, as "G'd's Spirit" further directs the way you should be.. Salvation comes from true self-realization.* 🙏🏽

That is a lie. You ARE the body, the mind and the emotion.
Just pasting that over your experience won't free you from appropriating the body and the mind, though. You actually have to stop acting out of your appropriation of these things.

@@lisahudson9547 Lisa nice to connect with you. According to hindu scriptures, all human beings are one with a similar spirit. the moment you realise this truth you lose all your ego and jealousy because you see people as an extension of yourself. It is phenomenal concept because then you see who human race as one, irrespective of their gender, religion, race, tribe, caste, class, and so forth. You tend to support everyone because their growth is your growth. I wish your growth hapiness

One of the best ted talk. The talk itself is a meditation.
oh get over yourself
True... He is a master of his mind....
I agree with you Half-Blind.
I disagree with you Oh Dae-Su.
@Oh Dae-Su Any form of sensory experience can be used as meditation. Meditation references a particular state of Being. That state is dependent on a conscious choice by the Self in how it views and experiences the present moment, regardless of whatever's happening or being perceived in that particular moment.
This TED Talk is just as much a valid form of meditation as spending an hour or two sitting in one spot and repeatedly bringing your awareness back to your breath. You're approaching this like meditation is a specific computer program, when really it's seeing how all binary code is still just a bunch of 0's and 1's regardless of how the code expresses itself.
Thanks for taking the time Master Shi Heng Yi

Haha. This one came pretty close though!
"All of our lives are too unique to copy the path from someone else."
;(
Does he say 'past' or 'path'?
He said path
Can u explain it what did u get from this line ?plz
i find myself listening to other peoples journeys , the trouble they encountered the sights they have seen , it has set me on the right path , however it has also made me confident that i do not need to journey since i alerady have seen it , today this talk made me realize i stopped halfway
My takeaway from the video
1. Studies may not bring happiness and knowledge of self.
2. Ancient practices are meant to find self
3. Sharing with others, training to find the ways that I like to do
4. Traveller asks the experience of reaching the top of mountain and decides not to go
5. Each person must find his own, it's impossible to share how
6. Clarity and better decisions - decide by self and it's personal challenges.
7. The 5 hinderences
1. Sensual desire - positive emotions (seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling, hearning)
2. Ill will and aversion - negative state of mind
3. Dullness Recognise accept investigate non identification( depression)
4. Restlessness - thinking about past and fearing about future. Monkey mind
5. Sceptical doubt - indecisiveness
And getting disconnected from goals
8. I have to align the life in such a way to prevent the hinderences . Each of these hinderences are dark cloud in the path. Just let it rain
Recognise
accept - to be the way how they are
Investigate - why it came, what is consequences of me staying there
Non-identification - I'm not the body, I'm not mind
We are unique and must not copy from someone else. To bring meaning and value in life I must choose not the hinderences to stop me .
There are two mistakes in life : not starting and not reaching where I have to reach
Edit: I have learned a lot after this video. Its just 3 weeks and I'm excited for life ahead of learning
Asheini....Thanks for taking the time to put it text. I think about his great talk throughout the day and reading is quite the pleasure.

I spent the day listening to buddhism ways and I watched the buddha documentary. Truly never thought I'd be so calm from acceptance of pain & suffering.
Are u close 2 your rebirth or have already reached there?

@@TD-ln2tg I have no idea, I wanted to save the world sometime ago and something happened that I realised I could not - me trying to save everyone around me was removing away their lessons required for their highest purpose I believe we can only accept and share our wisdom we cannot unfortunately save another though because if we stop the lesson we may stop the blessing too? Idk my head is in weird stages right now working out what I believe to be true but I am so much calmer with what I have already.
I didn't mean we cannot calm/help another such as energy reiki etc but I don't think I know how to be an activist just yet I have been sharing my thoughts within my own community some listen some dont but I talk anyway.
Master SHY is a real gem and treasure to humanity. His wisdom penetrates our mind, body and soul. I am a pure christian Catholic and I believed and practiced its teaching but somehow we also need wisdom and teaching such as these. I have watched some of his talks and its really great and amazing. God bless you always Master SHY. Namaste,,😍 🙏🙏🙏
All of these principles are also found in the BIBLE!
I really love the way he completely ignores the timer on the stage after it hit zero..
Made me really anxious though.
@Chris W or inconsiderate lol.
Right after that, he says “there’s no time” 14:07
It’s because he knows Time is just a concept, an illusion
Time is an illusion.
Wow. He has described everything that is stopping me in a way I can completely understand. In 18 mins he has literally made more sense than anything else I have read, heard or experienced about finding my own path. Such a presence. It actually made me cry in recognition.
Definitely felt the same.
That’s sweet bless you

The way he moves exudes total unity of mind and body and total control over the latter, I was mesmerised by the power of his presence
And so was I! It's the first time ever I've come to see a human being so aligned. I wish I was raised in his Shaolin Temple 😅 In the meantime, I practice his Qi Gong online to discipline my mind and love it.
yes
Excited happy people also show that.
My bet is that nothing he said was rehearsed. Buddhist monks are, I know, forbidden to consider beforehand what they will say in public speaking occasions. I suspect it is the same among the shaolin.
He seems so at peace with himself... I want to feel that.
If you want it you can have it!!!....the only one in the way of you having it is you, yourself. Look inwards. Seek & you shall find.

He is like Bruce Lee, just without jokes to buy public attention. Straight to the point without any nonsense. Respecting the viewer knowing that true value sells itself.

Copy the path*(not past)

@James Coleman Indeed. The blind lead the blind in the unconcsious world of men.
One of the actual main issues is that we really don't understand the path at all, no matter what we would like to think, and it takes a true master who's actually accomplished it to show us the way. I found my teacher at Drukama, check out the tradition if you're interested (or anyone reading). Be well.

The non-identity confuses me. "i am not the body. i am not the mind. i am not my emotions." Then what am i? Am i Chi energy? or a synthesis of body, Mind, and emotions?

Delivery of his talk is excellent; very clear and inspiring as well as helpful. He represents the quality training of a Shaolin graduate. What I enjoyed most is that he did not speak with unnecessary empty words such as “ and, but, like,umm “.

Thank you for reminding me to calm the mind. It's when I'm weak that I run into the following Hindrances.

2. Ill Will / Aversion
3. Dullness / Heaviness
4. Restlessness (monkey mind)
5. Skeptical doubt (indecisiveness)

Most likely it is because they all know shaolin monks are very wise . When there's undoubted wisdom in your presence , you listen .
This dude is just a dude with ideas. The veneration and subsequent fetishization of religious people is antithetical to what this dude is saying. The audiences coughed and chatted as much as they do with other speakers. The quietness of an audience is not metric by which a speaker’s quality may be characterized.
This man has no desires. He’s totally free from all things we cling onto that keeps our fragile egos from dismantling. thinking if we let it go, then our life itself ends. But in fact that’s when it finally begins. Lives end cause they can’t get over themselves. I’m finally starting to get over myself and my mind is becoming more free everyday I wake up.
Amazingly explained thanks for sharing these beautiful words to this englitened monk.👍🏼
No desires? i thought, he want to climb some mountain...
@@przemysawkusmierczyk9513 I’m no expert man. But I think it’s more about the opportunitie itself and letting it come to you and when it does, you won’t hesitate to follow thru with it.
The man in the story had a desire to climb the mountain which led to desiring to know what the mountain looked liked at the top, before he even attempted it himself. Therefore removing the desire to even do it.
If it’s something he wanted to do. The first thing he should of done, is let it go and just focus on the things he needed to do as person to be able to even make the climb in the first place. Also he shouldn’t forget to just live life and enjoy it. When the opportunity comes he would of been ready for it and have the choice in doing it or not. Cause if you desire something. Do you really have a choice in it?
Trying the best to articulate my thoughts and what I’m trying to say. Sorry if doesn’t make much sense mate.
@@Area-5l I see you have some serious insights on this. I'm glad. My provocative comment was supposed only to show that even "enlighted" monk can't escape from paradoxes, which life mostly consist of (in my opinion).
Wish you luck.
He is not free from this, he has simply lived a life of practicing knowing the truth of this, therefore he sees "the enemy" even with eyes closed. He is indeed someone who can help others find that they are not invincible, nor are they a waste of space. The past is as real as the enemy we choose or choose not to see. Let us deal in wisdom to overcome our common enemy; OURSELVES. The mind is the forefront (frontline battlefield) where our choices manifest from what we do not see to the things we do.

I learned those 5 hindrances at school when I was like 10, 12 years ago. I got an 'A' for Buddhism but still I clearly don't know what I studied. It was just a subject for me. Today is the day I clearly understood this amazing theory. Now I am 30 years old and now I know, Buddhism is not a subject. It's the teaching of whole LIFE, whole Universe
Funny you say this......i learned this at school too.
Back then, i kinda understood it, just not as clear, as i do now in this modern world.

@@goldiegolderman1842 I think in Buddhism you are not a soul, there is just no eternal self. You are a compound and none of the seperate components is you. The Buddhist term for this is annatta or anatman (no-self).

This talk was one of the most motivational and beautiful speeches ever. I am shy to admit, I began half-listening to this with my "monkey mind". After the first minute I almost turned it off. The message delivered by Master Shi Heng Yi was slow and methodical. After forcing myself to listen I realize I really do struggle with the last 4 hindrances.
