Understanding the Monkey Mind with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 сен 2024
- Monkey mind loves to create problems for us. In this video, Mingyur Rinpoche clarifies that what monkey mind is doing is not terribly important. Instead, what is important is how you relate to monkey mind. This teaching is from the Joy of Living Level 1 Online Program bit.ly/3s9gXK9
In brief, if you are able to avoid empowering the monkey mind as the “boss” on one hand and trying to dominate it on the other, the qualities of the mind-such as pliability and flexibility-will naturally emerge, and the monkey will rest.Subtitles are offered in multiple languages.

I read something somewhere a while ago and it really stuck with me. Maybe some people here will have a use for it:
''You are focusing hard and trying to banish the thoughts, and they are not going away. This is the nature of the mind, but it looks like you are very prejudiced against your mind. When you are doing your meditation, you don’t mind if your kidneys or your lungs are functioning or if your heart is beating. You don’t mind all the other processes in the body - only your brain should not function! The notion that if you do something spiritual, your brain should stop working is simply wrong. Do not be concerned about your thoughts. Above all, do not try to stop them. Let them happen like the activity of your kidneys is happening. Do not bother about your thoughts or about how to control your thoughts. Depending upon what is there inside today, thoughts will flow. There is no significance or consequence to this. You just need to do the meditation - do not do the thoughts. The kidneys will do their own thing; the liver will do its own thing; the brain will do its own thing; you do the meditation - that is all.''
I like that a lot! Thanks for the insight!
Also I think that plays a role in helping with the general mental issues as well like depression, anxiety, etc. that most, if not all of us experience
I like this thinking. You are amazing 🧘🏾♀️♥️
Thank you for this insight. It's very helpful
There are 3 things you can watch forever: fire burning, water running and Mingyur talking 😌 pure joy and positivity 🙏🏻
And the 4th one is the monkey minds of our wandering around.
Ha ha great saying
He is very positive really
Very well said. I love listening to him. ASIDE Very educative. I love his videos. Please allow me to interrupt. I do research on how Buddhism disappeared in Bihar. I realized it never disappeared from Bihar. Buddhists simply failed to research Indian Buddhism. They looked at Buddhism through the sphere of their own cultures searching for only the Buddha. Buddha had a myriad of names in different villages according to his teachings there. Example. His favorite teaching was 'Lust and desire causes pain. Remove lust and desire, and pain is removed'. Translated into Bihari (where the Buddha story took place) it is DHUKH HARAN meaning to remove dukha. Three dozen villages pray to DUKH HARAN Baba. Its clear that DUKH HARAN Baba is none other than the Buddha. Problem is Buddhists are searching only for the Buddha. In the real Vaishali the Buddha begged for alms. The locals there pray to 'BHIKHAINI' Baba (Beggar Baba). Bhikhaini was mispronounced by Buddhists as Bhikshu. Who is BHIKHAINI Baba. The Buddha no doubt. But people are searching for a man called Buddha. In the real Vaishali, in Beluha the Buddha suffered a sickness and felt he had grown old. The locals pray to 'BURHA' Baba (Old Baba). Who is BURHA Baba. The Buddha no doubt. In the real Vaishali the Lichavies pressurized Buddha not to die. They trailed him to Bandagawan pressurizing him not to die. To put pressure in Hindi is DABESHWAR. Three dozen villages around the stupa where Buddha gave the Lichavies his patra, the villagers pray to Baba 'DABESHWAR NATH' meaning the man who won the pressurizing game. It was the the Buddha no doubt as he gave the Lichavies his patra and succeded in sending them back. But Buddhists are searching for the Buddha. Forgive me for commenting out of the topic. I just wanted to impart this information to you. Great.
The more HD it is, the more younger he looks
Yeah in 4K he will look like a 16
🤣🤣
Meditation has been proven to lengthen telomeres so..
That’s mediation for ya
The longer the mongey rinpoche is in HD the younger he will become
The gossipy neurons are even worse than my neighbor.
Once you realize your thoughts are not smart at all, that they are in fact quite stupid and of no use to the weal of the world, then they will stop bothering you. Like you are sitting in a house and you are watching out the window, then you see a cow pass by, then you see a horse, but you just sit there drinking your tea. It’s attention that gives power to your thoughts. Your thoughts are stupid, let go of your stupid thoughts.
I feel ya... :-)
@@saralamuni omg yes you’re so right
@@saralamuni i love the way you’ve worded that
Sir... You are the God for who has no control on his mind.. It works but after some time mind again become boss.. Then again we have to control.... Don't know what is going on....
Ur teaching really help me to cure my long term depression 🙏so thankful 🙏
Best wishes and 💛
on your journey.
Thank you 🙏same for u🙏
Glad you’re in a better place!
Congratulations
I hope you have improved!
It is actually ironic that you cant spell monkey without the word "monk" - reminded me of how you can turn monkey mind into a beneficial experience of wisdom through contemplation. 🙈🙉🙊
I've been to Rinpoche and received teachings... When I first heard him talk about the monkey mind it just clicked... Ever since I was a child I've always said that if you look into my mind you'll see one of those wind up monkeys, you know the one on a bike going around in circles bashing it's simbels together. Then after hearing these teachings it all made sense. Peace and blessings folks
Can you tell me how much Meditation we have to practice and i how many days we will see results?
@@agnirelaxgaming
Everyday and after 30 days. X
@@garryryan4022 How much time Meditation each day? 10 or 20 or 30min?
@@agnirelaxgaming as Rinpoche says short times many times.. But you would be better off asking someone who is more quilified than me or read the joy of living numbet 1.blessings garry
@@agnirelaxgaming can you please say me which meditation. I m new here so many videos
He wrote a great book, I’m reading it now.
IN LOVE WITH THE WORLD
whats the name of the book
I sincerely hope that someone will animate this one day.
Have a read of a book called mind management
Thats exactly what i was thinking! Im imaging some 2D cartoon with funny monkeys
After Skool should do thus
Ill accept the challenge, want me to post link here?
@@lovorka3321 YES SURE
How I perceive "monkey mind" is the relationship you have with the things you perceive as insecurities about yourself. The more you let them control your thoughts subconsciously, the more you give them room to disrupt your way of living. The more you acknowledge them, work on them if possible or accept them if not, the calmer your mind will be, allowing you to reach a higher level of perception.
How does one do this? He touches on it briefly, but doesn’t go into detail.
@@TheMoogaKing take small steps. write it out if you have too, & tackle one problem n then another
@@TheMoogaKing he did explain how to work with the monkey mind, you need to give it a job.
Namo Buddhay. Namaste.
Positive energy is attracted to positive energy.
thank you positive energy😃
Thats nonsense
Nope... It's the opposite. It will attract negative ones
Important concept to bring forward in conversation. I learned the 3 Elements of Monkey Mind are: (1) limitless greed - nothing is ever enough, especially if something brings pleasure (relevant to a world dominated by materialism/consumerism/exploitation); (2) tireless fear - people live in constant fear even in the absence of threat (the genesis of ego is caused by fear), especially fearful of new or novel stimulus/information/arisings; (3) constant seeking of highest position - Monkey Mind reacts to threats by assuming highest position (this is to protect the ego/status/self-identity) and in absence of threat Monkey Mind schemes to gain advantage/status/control over other beings.
But to our great fortune Monkey Mind is subject to impermanence, and requires practice to achieve rewarding success. If the practitioner knows how to overcome ego identity by generating a clearing in the mind space, then Monkey Mind simply atrophies and the result is a good Human Being able to benefit and serve others. The Path to Liberation begins with dispelling of Monkey Mind. And since we are all seeking Liberation from the Cyclic Existence of Samsara, dispelling Monkey Mind is an imperative first step. Namaste 🙏🏼
👌🏻
I learned about this during Vipassana course
These words are truly helpful, thank you a lot. I hope one day I will be able to accept and cope with life in a healthy way again
Sholin monks are masters of breaking Monkey Mind to effortlessly progress up the Mountain of blissfully calm abiding mind and a space in which everything is possible. Good magic wins, every time! 🤣🙏🏼✌🏻
Ultimate
when i was introduced to this, i felt almost stupid by how fast the title and then a moment of "oh that's perfect!" washed over me. there's no better way to describe this.
I just finished the morning meditation.
I was on a platform in space with my spirit guide Running Horse. She said we are watching the conjunction of Mars Uranus and fixed star Agol. She said this is beneficial. I looked whete the prayer circle you were there. You said stay calm meditate think about your breathing.
I have to take a nap. I almost fell asleep trying to write you.
Muchas gracias Venerable Mingyur Rinponche 💎
You are such a beautiful being of love and light. Thank you for being here on earth during this powerful transition :) The universe and God love you unconditionally ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
What transition? Things look the same to me.
This is the sweetest thing I've heard in a while
A Christian (probably) telling a Buddhist that god loves him
We all need to respect eachother more like that 🙏🏼
@@RyanScarbrough things are always changing
@@bananko8668 they I am assuming are not Christian.
As a senior meditation practioner (10+years), I can tell you - it really works. I have much less thoughts, If I don't need my mind to think about smth (work).
How much time you invested in Meditation per day and in how many days you got results?
I have anxiety and my muscles become stiff during meditation. Any tips for that
@@shyrishdhyani Position is not the most important thing. You can sit on a chair and reach deeper levels of Awareness. The are people who meditate laying down in bed or on the floor and still come out with that deep Awareness. I know this is true because I've tried many positions while meditating over the past 7 years and I've had no issues going within and reaching those deeper levels.
@@Philani_Ndlovucan ocd be recovered from meditation?
@@bk24682 Yes yes yes. Absolutely. It might require a desire and commitment to keep going as it might take time to neutralize those excessive and deeply rooted thoughts that causes those compulsive actions. However as the time goes through your commitment of regular/daily Meditation, you will begin to see things getting better and better. You can't help but become better because meditation helps one get better control of their mind, you see.
I appreciate my monkey mind. Thanks to them my creativity is incredible. Of course there are disadvantages too, but im happy becasuse i have material to improve myself. Life is so beautiful 😍
I am so happy now I know of your teachings. I have been looking for meditation videos for years. There are many techniques to help meditate and even more books were written on the art of meditation. But none of what I have managed to see so far resonated with me - with my understanding (even though very limited) of what meditation actually is. Because the interesting thing is, that even though I was not educated in the art of meditation, I somehow had a feel for what it should be. From the first words, from seeing your way of connecting with others I immediately recognized that I have arrived to a place where now I can also join this plane of existence that meditation brings. As my voyage before wasn’t successful, I ended up creating my own videos based on the feeling I had on what I have expected to feel and get from meditation. Your lessons bring me closer to my expectation of meditation. Thank you for being a guiding light on the path we often call Life.
Self awareness has always been a mystery to many , only through self inquiry you can achieve the state of pure awareness of becoming an observer
His aura is bright blue!
😅 I think you forgot to take off your sunglasses .....(joke )
Watching Vinny's Monke streams lead this to get recommend to me,and watching this actually helped me find a way to deal with my adhd
Your teachings are so simple and so helpful. Thank you very much Rinpoche.
monkey mind meditation... I actually tried it for a few days recently... thanks so very very much.. ... in the morning... 3AM... eyes 👀.. monkey mind chatter instead of my quiet time before dawn... "monkey 🐒 mind ok".. in a very happy voice.. and... ahhhh.. hello monkeys.. let's watch the sun come up
Peace ✌️
thank you Master Rinpoche...
forever ♾️
Namaste
This is the only person who made meditation accessible for me.
Hi thanks for sharing this great tips. I used to fight with my thoughts but now I do my best to don't control it. I try to observe everything happening around me also all my thoughts since I learned meditation. So I need a example to understand how give a job to monkey mind.
Very very good. Yes make friends with the Monkey 🐒 Mind!!🤯
Thank you so much Rinpoche la
🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹🌸🌸🌸💐💐💐
This is actually how a lot of therapy works! It’s all just changing of neural pathways, when he talked about how once you start thinking something consistently more and more neurons join in, that’s actually true, the more your practice something, even subconsciously, the better you get at it
I love this guy. Really pure 💖🙏
Deepest thanks for your practice and wisdom.🙏🏼💕
6 лет назад начал читать книгу Миньйорга, Нэно кажется только сейчас до меня доходит смысл слов. Спасибо) занять ум другими задачами😊
This has got to be my favorite explanation of the monkey mind and meditation. Thank you 🙏
Thank you for your Presence 🙏🌹🔥🙏

I wish I could meet you once.. your speeches surrounds me with positivity and always keeps my vibration into higher frequency💖💖✨💖💖✨✨ thank you and thank you universe
The monkey mind has been my biggest challenge. I‘ve been meditating so much and feeling so good. But the monkey mind has been my enemy. It has been painful, exactly as you say. You can’t get rid of it. I will try to understand it more and befriend it instead. And cherish its function. Thank you for explaining.
That is super important to anxious people like me, to work with the monkey mind, not fighting it but embracing it, welcome it! Thank you so so much I mean, I started medidation last week and with all your advices, I just don't want to stop and pursue for all the beneficials that comes with practicing medidation. It is an amazing journey. Thanks again Master Rinpoche and thanks to all the people that helps with medidation as well, we truly need that 👍👍
Purpose of life can be many. If we are useful to nature and others, life will be meaningful.
A Yotuber Rinpoche?...that´s awesome. Subscribed without thinking twice. You´re right. Monkey mind has been messing with me for quite some time.
Thanks Yongey!
You are the master Rinpoche and I am your willing student. Thank you for your teachings. 🙏🏼
"Cheek bone is terrible". This made me laugh so much 😂
I like the neuron analogy. They say that 'neurone that wire together, fire together.' Important to break the cycle.
Thank you for helping me to learn meditation. You have been a teacher for me from the beginning. 🙏
Right now i read the best comment ever writen since.
Love you guru 🥰😍😌

I would love more videos on this subject. I’ve been suffering from Monkey mind for too long.
Beautiful ☺️ thank you for your love and wisdom 🙏❤️
Wow this helps soo much! Now I can get along with African Americans much better now.
Thank you so much
Aside from "give the monkeymind employment", the rest is good ( for me ) to manage past-negative repeating thoughts. I don't fight thoughts or try to police them anymore.
Wonderful. Thank you
How fortunate I am to be able to receive these teachings from you. Many thanks to you
