There is so much to learn from her pauses, her timing. She's able to be at peace with silence. It also helps her communicate much better to slow down. It's like she is in touch with a natural energy flow so many of us are disconnected from. This is beautiful.
I learned the importance of slowing down from a friend & classmate. The professors would ask questions & most of would blurt out the answer (wrong or right). When he was directly asked, he would take his time before he answered. You could tell everyone else was uncomfortable with the silence, but then he would share his thought through answer. I used this technique and my answers were so much more clear, and I learned a lot.
I have an awakening when she said “stop blaming others for your unhappiness”. She is right. If we are happy inside, no matter the outside world how bad it is, we will still have a peaceful mind. On the other hand, if we have a war inside, no matter how many beautiful people we meet in our life, how lovely our surrounding is, we will not notice the good.
1. Need to stop outsourcing our happiness. 2. Actively cultivate a source of peace and happiness from inside. 3. Happiness and unhappiness are both states of mind, therefore, their real cause can't be found outside the mind. It is not what happens to us but how we react to it that creates happiness and unhappiness.
But that (to me) has always been obvious. This is so very easy to say when it is an example of working with a coworker you don't like! But what about real tragedies? What about a lifetime of abuse and trauma? What about subconscious (or even unconscious) reactions because of childhood trauma? Is happiness really a choice? You can go inside and find calm and love but then you still have to live in this world and sadly, truly bad things happen to very good people. What do you do then? Keep closing your eyes, breathing and finding your inner calm? You can't do that all the time. You still have to live in this world.

That quote is completely wrong in my opinion. During meditation you look into the deepest corners of your mind without judgment(not easy to do) and you discover the things that are weighing you down from enlightenment. Then when you come out of deep meditation you gain new perspectives which can be used to get rid of these negative things. This is a continuous process of growth and in no way will happen in a short time. So my friend, that quote is completely off topic here.
Sounds nice, but finding something or nothing is NOT a doing. What ignites that IS, but it already needs an extraordinairy level of being. So I see this phrase as subtly insincere to the student. Mr. Tilopa worked with haiku-kind of teachings .. It has dubious sides to me as it can be used to overpower students with a conscious intention to frustrate. Even Tolle these days shows subtle signs of it. The time is near that we are given keys to deeper knowing on an even democratic level, which would indicate the end of psychiatry as well as the end of the 'esoteric elite' ....
I see your point and it makes sense. Also, the best psychiatrist is your own mind exploring itself and understanding what lies deep within your conscious. It must be done through meditation and I suggest an isolation tank as the senses can distract a person during this reflection period. The esoteric elite( the ruling class) have always known about this power for many years that is why our lives are full of distractions and our illnesses only treated by numbing through medication rather than enlightenment.
Dear Hardy, l totally understand you. I have been very unhappy for so long. I don't blame anyone but myself which is why my burden has been heavy. I have had some happy days in the past few weeks after years & years of sadness. I am sending you love & hugs. Remember most of all please learn to love yourself.

It's not so much beauty, it's more like an aura. In Chinese, we call it Qizhi; in mormonism, there's a concept called the "mormon glow". It's kind of like that.
"if you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough." Einstein This is a wonderful example of someone who understands it well enough!
There is no citation supporting this claim, Einstein is unlikely to have said it since his theory of relativity was very abstract and based on sophisticated mathematics.
You're right because none of us knows our expiration date. So, even if your life is a lemon 🍋, squeeze all the juice out of it that you can until the end.

Peacefulness and happiness are NOT synonymous. People confuse this. Happiness and Joy are just as fleeting as pain and suffering. Find peace, and happiness and sadness will come and go.
Happiness and joy are not fleeting..... They are consistent and neverchanging... They can be our normal default state.... But what we r doing is... We are confusing happiness with pleasures... Which depends on the stimulation of our senses.... Which definitely is fleeting.... Because for e. G we feel the best when we bite into a steak or listen to a song b ecause it stimulates our tongue or hearing.... But that rush or feeling disappears after a few bites and we certainly get bored of listening to the same tune..... We need something else.... This limited nature of sensual pleasures makes us feel that it is fleeting.... So pleasure and happiness are different.... Dont overglamorise peace because that is the most basic criteria to njoe anything just a have a meal.... We cry so much about peace because may somewhere during the journey we lost that also.... With enuf practice and dedication we can be ecastatic at every instant....
I think you're speaking about non-duality which may not be suitable for a general audience. We can simply say that peace of mind brings forth causes for happiness to arise. Non-duality can be introduced later. It would be like giving a child an injection and saying this will hurt rather than giving them a teddy bear to focus on.
I disagree. There comes a moment where peacefulness actually ends up leading to happiness. As the moment you stop attributing labels to negative thoughts, emotions and so forth; you end up experiencing life in its entirety through this newly found pair of lens; which is the lens of acceptance and that ultimately leads to a state of blissfulness.
For a moment I was like why she is so slow...but then what's the need to rush so much all the time, why cant we be calm and peaceful . She is so happy and full of positive energy and calm.....just made me feel so revived and helped me quiet my mind:)
Yes she's so calm. I started to have panic attacks in July this year, and I still feel so stressed today. I wish to be like her. Now I realized my happiness depends on others, and situations I live everyday,that's why, I feel so bad in this moment, because of the covid, deaths in my family and other things. She's right, we need to find happiness in ourselves, not from outside.
It brought tears to my eyes when the first question is asked. Am i happy? Then suddenly, all of my walls crumbled and fell apart. I tried so much to hide my insecurities, and filled my head with positive thinking, to the point that the negatives and problems are just pushed down, not solved. I thought that was a righteous move, to be happy. But then seeing her so calm, i crushed. Observing her peacefulness, i cried and answered : no, i'm not happy, even why i tried so hard to be positive. In that very moment, i realized what i am missing, is peace. If inside of you are having a war, then no positive thoughts can last. I lacked peace. That's why i am so easy to be looked through just by one simple question : are you happy? Thank Gen Kelsang Nyema, for what you have taught me today, that the ultimate and greatest happiness, and the one truly stable happiness, is inner peace. I wish you peace and success.
I can safely say that by now, your inner peace have failed you multiple times right ? If her teachigs are right, then how is possible ? Its simple. Its a lie, what goes around you does affect you, like it supose to do. You want to be happy, like me, like all of us. She says "inner peace", i say "Jesus Christ". What do you say, both seems to be source of happiness. Which one will last on the long run ? When Jesus sacrificied his life for our sins, he didn't care if we where belivers or not, he did it for all of us, so that includes also his torturers. For you, for me, thats a lot of love. Can you love the people who trully want you dead ? And by love, i mean giving even your life for them ? Well, here is your answer. Strive for this kind of love, and your happines, will not be from this world. And on the road you will find out where this "inner peace" have its place on a true happines scaleing path. God bless you !!!
every time, when I feel depressed, hopeless, or stressed, I come to this video to listen. She really helped me to feel peaceful and calm. I promise myself to choose happiness every day.
She was not having a nap in between. Instead she was practising awareness/mindfulness meditation and simultaneously sending good vibes to the audience so that they can understand the pracitce of Buddha s Dhamma and importance of the essence. Only meditators can feel and know it.
Getting sober in AA, then learning from Zen Master Thich Nhat Hahn on RUclips, I learned to accept myself for who I really am and to choose happiness. Bless you, dear one 💖🙏
This is deceptive. In actuality, this organization she is from (New Kadampa Tradition aka NKT) is highly controversial and you can just as easily find videos of her group with fists in the air, scowling, banging drums outside of teachings attended by Tibetan and Nepalese refugees. There are also many people who have come forward reporting spiritual abuse by the NKT.
New Kadampa Tradition Survivors & Supporters Thank you so much for speaking out about this! I was just about to reply with some of the deception I see in it...
I don't think organisation is important. When ever you make any organisation it will contain many people with different problems. It has nothing to do with the teaching tho.
Jeremy R....I have learned that everyone is on a different level of consciousness and not able to comprehend the understanding....because they aren’t mentally on that level yet.
@@newkadampatraditionsurvivo6745 , the Dalai Lama also has followers who have kiiled others in his name. When you label someone or some organization as bad you are creating those conditions using your own negative mind. The past is the past and if you judge the past of others you create yourself in that same way.
Then make them. She just proved we chose our mental state. Stop waiting for more and be the more yourself. If everyone sincerely focused on mending themselves instead of waving the virtue signal we would be golden. Did anyone actually take this to heart, or did we all just get the customary case of the feels before moving onto the next irrelevancy in our 24 hour distraction cycle?
Thank you so much for your talk which yes it is all a state of mind. It is all a matter of perspective. Many years ago I ended up losing my job and had to walk 1/2 a mile to catch my bus which as i was walking I was giggling and laughing and smiling while everyone else I was coming into contact with (who had yet to be to their offices) were negative and frowning... I was laid off due to the recession and also my company and department starting to restructure. I had been with the company and department for four years which I was hoping to advance up to the Financial Advisor. You can choose to either see the positive or the negative in anything it is all up to YOU and your
I've been telling this "real happiness is not just when everything is going our way......it's the capability of being happy even when things are not the way we want..." ....but it's hard to convince my brain too!
Well Said. These characters are called the 'New Kadampa Tradition aka NKT' Please watch: 'An Unholy Row' BBC Documentary from 1998. On many sites across the web about these people + read the comments.
@@lewisstockwell4597 All things change with time, I think there is now a lot of wisdom in the NKT The future of the NKT is with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong. Perhaps you could watch a few of her videos rather than a BBC documentary from the last century BTW I tend to think Thich Nhat Hanh best represents the wisdom of Buddhism
Karen, As a disclaimer I had better say that I am a NKT practioner but I had previously watched the BBC documentary mentioned by Lewis but had found it totally unrepresentative in my opinion I think any organization is going to have problems but I have faith in Kelsang Dekyong but I doubt any NKT detractors would watch these to determine the direction NKT is actually heading
Nyema suggests in this Ted talk to memorize "Happiness and unhappiness are states of mind and therefore their real causes cannot be found outside the mind." What a different way of looking at our world! She says many other things that are so thoughtful and insightful.
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 :)
This NKT is a Very Dangerous Cult, what this gentleman is saying is 100% correct. Please watch "An Unholy Row" BBC Documentary 1998 about this cult & please read the comments.
The best calming video on youtube. I searched about her all over the intenet. Unfortunately I couldn't find any other videos of her. This is the only video. So be grateful and embrace her message.
You can also watch Kesang Jampa's guide to meditations if you cannot find any more of Gen Kesangs... destination is to the same ie inner peace..very relaxing and useful ..
I'm happy when I've got my healthy family and pets around me and I'm healthy. We have food, we have heat, shelter and we're safe. That's all that matters to me and makes me happy
She's great and I agree; I can't help but wonder if this is easier for her to attain than for those of us in mainstream life. She's surrounded by other people who practice meditation and being in a serene state all of the time. She is also surrounded by others that believe as she does, think similarly, and live similarly. Easy not to externalize happiness. Or easier.
I think an important point has been missed here though, I know she didn't exactly bring it up, but she has done so by example. By taking the time to practise this state of mind is what makes it easier to achieve it. Practise makes perfect after all. Part of the point she's trying to make is that people are too 'busy' blaming their state of mind on others, instead of using that time to practise, which is exactly what's happened here when you accuse her of being in an environment more suited to achieving such a state of mind. I hope this is helpful in understanding what she is trying to do.
I understand what she's trying to do and am glad that she's doing it. I'm not blaming anyone. I'll put it another way. Put two people in contained environments. One environment is quiet while the other is a loud, continual barrage against the senses. Now tell both subjects that the goal is to achieve Zen calm. One will have an easier time of it. Of course. Can happiness be achieved by constantly training the mind regardless of one's environment? Yes. Not impossible but in some cases more challenging than in others. It's an observation.
Not necessarily. The person in the quiet environment doesn't have the outside influences necessary to learn what a Zen state is. I understand what you mean though, with the amount of information being bombarded upon the other person, and how they may be unable to filter out the unnecessary 'noise'. Either person is going to need those outside influences so that they may understand what that Zen state is. Its about developing the mental filters necessary to achieve such a state, which comes from practise, which makes the issue personal, not environmental.We've seen plenty of examples in the past where people have achieved things contrary to stereotypes and social norms, and whilst it may be a greater challenge, that its achievable is proof in itself. Its the act of questioning that can prevent the achievement, because there's no acting upon the achievement itself, which once its achieved, the challenge is overcome. Which again is a personal idea, not environmental. Don't fear the challenge. Fear instead, not accepting the challenge, because you will have gained nothing by standing idly by in 'observation' of what others achieved by accepting that challenge themselves.
No matter what is going on around me I have control over what is going on inside of myself. I have the power to choose happiness or otherwise at any given moment.
The qualified speaker is very clear & focused on getting her message to her audience, including those of us at home. There is no use in letting cynism and suspicions cloud our listening, other than to lose an open heart & thus losing the ability to garner what is of true value here. jc
I try to watch this video every few days now to help remind me of the profoundly simple things she says, which I totally agree with while watching, but sometimes forget to consider in my day to day life. So like when she says that it's not external things that determine our happiness or unhappiness, but rather how we interpret or respond to those things... I think about how when I see birds, it makes me happy. When I see a bumble bee at one of my garden flowers, I get all excited. However I know that for many other people, these things bring them no happiness at all. Some people don't notice birds at all or consider them 'nuisances'. Some see bumble bees and can only think of potentially being stung and wanting to kill the bees.Conversely, some people may feel sad if they lose their job. Other people might lose their job, and see it as an 'opportunity' for change. Some Americans may feel 'irritation' if a tourist approaches them in their town, and tries to ask for help with directions, but can't really speak English very well. For other Americans, they may find this 'exciting'...an opportunity to try and help someone...maybe even to use some of their foreign language skills.So indeed, so much about our 'mood' is perspective. Of course, I am talking about your average day to day occurrences in life. It's a very different thing to say it's all about 'perspective', when one is very ill, or a family member dies etc. But yet even then, perspective can be a 'factor', insofar as in some cultures, the death of a family member is seen as automatically 'traumatic' and life-altering and a guarantee of ensuing depression, for the family members that remain. Whereas in other cultures, death is seen as a bittersweet yet beautifully poignant transition...a part of the cycle of life....
This is incrediblly calming, I'm convinced that people who find inner peace have a way of transmitting it out from themselves, like this person does. In Buddhist mediation class, even the moment the gelsang/monk would enter the room, the vibe would change. It's real.
@Yashash Dave i feel kinda sad that mostly indians fall for the least peaceful ways of living when the origin or meditation is from india! Do you feel the same?
I dont know who you are, but happines is not a state of mind dont be deceived. It is a reaction, an effect. The moment you stop believing this, is the moment you become delusional, and create your own reality, and i can assure you, you will fail, you will end unhappy. Maybe if i pronnounce the word "God" or even further "Jesus", you will say " i knew it, that only a christian will disagree with her teachings". But i will be cruel and ask you to try it out. Waste your time with this kind of beliefs, but when you will discover the terifying truth behind it my friend, you will need a good pair of shoes, and bravely pray to the very Jesus for speed, couse you will need to run very fast from it. Call your christian brother "a prophet" when this happens, becouse i warned you long before.
I did the meditation with her.. wow. Haven't felt this calm in a very long time, and I can definitely say, the most at peace I have felt this whole year, especially with covid.
Ann Nee Exactly. He said Love God with all your heart, mind and Soul. And to love your neighbor as yourself. That is all the law. 2 rules. Yet, people seem to not want to even do that!!
my frens who have achieve the peaceful state of mind stated that the feeling is better than on any drugs. in fact drugs prevent them from going into that state. none wanna take drugs again .. best rehab
+Happy Hopey Human yes .. easy in theory and hard to apply - just like loosing weight or getting better n something - the key is allways doing something over and over again what takes alot of discipline
I thought she did a wonderful job of introducing a subject that one would need to delve into deeper, in terms of personal awareness and practice. I found some of the negative comments on her talk reflect some misconception of the underlying ideas behind the talk. I would encourage the authors of those comments to accept her talk as a challenge: try to learn more about looking inward, meditation. This is something that takes some time and personal experience to see for oneself. The ideas can be understood quickly, but the mind may require time and practice to really know them. Best wishes.
She talks slowly, allowing her audience to take in everything she is saying. Her voice is also a very relaxing non stressful pitch. Very true that happiness is a state of mind.
I disagree. Emotions are really complicated and there isn't one answer. There are infinite answers because everyone is being called to find their own unique ways of transforming their negative and painful beliefs triggers experiences and emotions separate from what any 'guru' tells them they should be doing. The answer isn't just to be happy, that isn't enlightenment that's bypasssing ahahahahaahaha
Whenever I feel confused, pressured or too much stimulated, if I feel like I don't really have rest or mental rest and I feel so overwhelmed I just watch her in this video, I am very grateful honestly
so simple yet so powerful. we don't realize it but most problems in life can be solved by finding inner peace, breathing out all the toxic thoughts and actions and inhaling all the joyful and benevolent thoughts of goodness.
Daniel Blaha I think that's a great habit! I don't think something like meditation can be a cure-all, which is what I meant.. But meditation can have huge health benefits, like so many great options that are out there.
Her first question came in; it triggered.. The second one came gradually; I bursted into tears and my head is screaming I'm so glad I came across this video. Her way of talking makes my head pause and walk slower. It's been tiring the past few weeks and I wasn't okay. Her wisdom helped me to pause and mind inner peace that I wasn't having recently.
Thanks to buddhism and wisdoms, I have learned so much. Attatchment of the external leads to suffering. We get angry at things we cannot change and that is that things change all the time. Nothing stays the same. Our age, our happiness, our sadness, wealth, health and our breath. We breathe in so that it comes out. Only thing that doesn’t change is the state of death, where you cease to breathe and exist. At the same time don’t let that fear rule over you. Everything ends so that things begins, hence the change. My personal most important question in life is: If I somehow or for some reason, were to die tomorrow, will I die happy? With that question I can push myself to the urge of living life for what it is and that is the beauty of life and it is limitless. I at this point have not live life to the fullest yet so I am still in this journey thinking about my own question everyday and every moment
The ultimate of this universe and life is change as per Buddhism. Therefore, if someone having bad time, don’t feel so depressed or anxious because i promise everyone’s situation will change. 🙏🏽💐🙏🏽

"If we have a peaceful state of mind, we will be happy, regardless of people and circumstances." That is wisdom, articulated in plain English.
Peacefulness and happiness are NOT synonymous. People confuse this. Happiness and Joy are just as fleeting as pain and suffering. Find peace, and happiness and sadness will come and go.
Exactly
This comment should be well at the top of the comments section.
Happiness and joy are not fleeting..... They are consistent and neverchanging... They can be our normal default state.... But what we r doing is... We are confusing happiness with pleasures... Which depends on the stimulation of our senses.... Which definitely is fleeting.... Because for e. G we feel the best when we bite into a steak or listen to a song b ecause it stimulates our tongue or hearing.... But that rush or feeling disappears after a few bites and we certainly get bored of listening to the same tune..... We need something else.... This limited nature of sensual pleasures makes us feel that it is fleeting.... So pleasure and happiness are different....
Dont overglamorise peace because that is the most basic criteria to njoe anything just a have a meal.... We cry so much about peace because may somewhere during the journey we lost that also.... With enuf practice and dedication we can be ecastatic at every instant....
I think you're speaking about non-duality which may not be suitable for a general audience. We can simply say that peace of mind brings forth causes for happiness to arise. Non-duality can be introduced later. It would be like giving a child an injection and saying this will hurt rather than giving them a teddy bear to focus on.
I disagree. There comes a moment where peacefulness actually ends up leading to happiness. As the moment you stop attributing labels to negative thoughts, emotions and so forth; you end up experiencing life in its entirety through this newly found pair of lens; which is the lens of acceptance and that ultimately leads to a state of blissfulness.
For a moment I was like why she is so slow...but then what's the need to rush so much all the time, why cant we be calm and peaceful .
She is so happy and full of positive energy and calm.....just made me feel so revived and helped me quiet my mind:)
Yeahhhh I also thought like that... And I really love how she became so calm when she speaks... That's gives us much positivity....
Yes she's so calm. I started to have panic attacks in July this year, and I still feel so stressed today. I wish to be like her. Now I realized my happiness depends on others, and situations I live everyday,that's why, I feel so bad in this moment, because of the covid, deaths in my family and other things. She's right, we need to find happiness in ourselves, not from outside.

She is truly an angel from above teaching us about Inner peace and Mindfulness. Thank You!
It brought tears to my eyes when the first question is asked. Am i happy? Then suddenly, all of my walls crumbled and fell apart. I tried so much to hide my insecurities, and filled my head with positive thinking, to the point that the negatives and problems are just pushed down, not solved. I thought that was a righteous move, to be happy. But then seeing her so calm, i crushed. Observing her peacefulness, i cried and answered : no, i'm not happy, even why i tried so hard to be positive. In that very moment, i realized what i am missing, is peace. If inside of you are having a war, then no positive thoughts can last. I lacked peace. That's why i am so easy to be looked through just by one simple question : are you happy?
Thank Gen Kelsang Nyema, for what you have taught me today, that the ultimate and greatest happiness, and the one truly stable happiness, is inner peace. I wish you peace and success.
Yes indeed, peace is the highest vibration of the mind before enlightment
I hope you are happy now
Timm Brockmann yes, i am very grateful to learn that lesson.
Surekha Kapoor fortunately, i am, i hope you are too !
I can safely say that by now, your inner peace have failed you multiple times right ? If her teachigs are right, then how is possible ? Its simple. Its a lie, what goes around you does affect you, like it supose to do. You want to be happy, like me, like all of us. She says "inner peace", i say "Jesus Christ". What do you say, both seems to be source of happiness. Which one will last on the long run ? When Jesus sacrificied his life for our sins, he didn't care if we where belivers or not, he did it for all of us, so that includes also his torturers. For you, for me, thats a lot of love. Can you love the people who trully want you dead ? And by love, i mean giving even your life for them ? Well, here is your answer. Strive for this kind of love, and your happines, will not be from this world. And on the road you will find out where this "inner peace" have its place on a true happines scaleing path. God bless you !!!

How could anyone dislike this talk/meditation? She is so peaceful, kind and loving. A true inspiration.
This is deceptive. In actuality, this organization she is from (New Kadampa Tradition aka NKT) is highly controversial and you can just as easily find videos of her group with fists in the air, scowling, banging drums outside of teachings attended by Tibetan and Nepalese refugees. There are also many people who have come forward reporting spiritual abuse by the NKT.
New Kadampa Tradition Survivors & Supporters Thank you so much for speaking out about this! I was just about to reply with some of the deception I see in it...
I don't think organisation is important. When ever you make any organisation it will contain many people with different problems. It has nothing to do with the teaching tho.
Jeremy R....I have learned that everyone is on a different level of consciousness and not able to comprehend the understanding....because they aren’t mentally on that level yet.
@@newkadampatraditionsurvivo6745 , the Dalai Lama also has followers who have kiiled others in his name. When you label someone or some organization as bad you are creating those conditions using your own negative mind. The past is the past and if you judge the past of others you create yourself in that same way.
The people who meditate can feel peace within the moment she speaks her first word. So much peace. Sadhu

All things change with time, I think there is now a lot of wisdom in the NKT
The future of the NKT is with Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong. Perhaps you could watch a few of her videos rather than a BBC documentary from the last century
BTW I tend to think Thich Nhat Hanh best represents the wisdom of Buddhism
Karen,
As a disclaimer I had better say that I am a NKT practioner but I had previously watched the BBC documentary mentioned by Lewis but had found it totally unrepresentative in my opinion
I think any organization is going to have problems but I have faith in Kelsang Dekyong but I doubt any NKT detractors would watch these to determine the direction NKT is actually heading
That’s great!

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 :)

Best Comment
I watch most lectures at 1.5 speed. It keeps my interest more and I seem to take it in much better.
She's great and I agree; I can't help but wonder if this is easier for her to attain than for those of us in mainstream life. She's surrounded by other people who practice meditation and being in a serene state all of the time. She is also surrounded by others that believe as she does, think similarly, and live similarly. Easy not to externalize happiness. Or easier.
Whitney Tarkington yeah very much easier for her. Our trick is too realize when main stream life is effecting us and try to choose something different
Agreed--a little harder for us but agreed
I think an important point has been missed here though, I know she didn't exactly bring it up, but she has done so by example. By taking the time to practise this state of mind is what makes it easier to achieve it. Practise makes perfect after all.
Part of the point she's trying to make is that people are too 'busy' blaming their state of mind on others, instead of using that time to practise, which is exactly what's happened here when you accuse her of being in an environment more suited to achieving such a state of mind.
I hope this is helpful in understanding what she is trying to do.
I understand what she's trying to do and am glad that she's doing it. I'm not blaming anyone. I'll put it another way. Put two people in contained environments. One environment is quiet while the other is a loud, continual barrage against the senses. Now tell both subjects that the goal is to achieve Zen calm. One will have an easier time of it. Of course. Can happiness be achieved by constantly training the mind regardless of one's environment? Yes. Not impossible but in some cases more challenging than in others. It's an observation.
Not necessarily. The person in the quiet environment doesn't have the outside influences necessary to learn what a Zen state is. I understand what you mean though, with the amount of information being bombarded upon the other person, and how they may be unable to filter out the unnecessary 'noise'. Either person is going to need those outside influences so that they may understand what that Zen state is. Its about developing the mental filters necessary to achieve such a state, which comes from practise, which makes the issue personal, not environmental.We've seen plenty of examples in the past where people have achieved things contrary to stereotypes and social norms, and whilst it may be a greater challenge, that its achievable is proof in itself. Its the act of questioning that can prevent the achievement, because there's no acting upon the achievement itself, which once its achieved, the challenge is overcome. Which again is a personal idea, not environmental.
Don't fear the challenge. Fear instead, not accepting the challenge, because you will have gained nothing by standing idly by in 'observation' of what others achieved by accepting that challenge themselves.
2023 and still regularly watching this video!
No matter what is going on around me I have control over what is going on inside of myself. I have the power to choose happiness or otherwise at any given moment.
Finally, someone explained to me what is and what all the buzz is with this "meditation" thingy.
Wonderful! What a beautiful smile and radiant energy she projects.
Agree with you
Buddhists glow from the inside
The qualified speaker is very clear & focused on getting her message to her audience, including those of us at home. There is no use in letting cynism and suspicions cloud our listening, other than to lose an open heart & thus losing the ability to garner what is of true value here. jc
This has to be one of the best TEDTalks and one of the best videos I have seen on RUclips. I would love to see more of this person.
Me too ... particularly in UK in Nov 22 . Maybe our MP s should watch too.
There are so many things to learn from her. The phrase "stop blaming others for your unhappiness" is so true.
Honestly, she has the sweetest demeanor.
I try to watch this video every few days now to help remind me of the profoundly simple things she says, which I totally agree with while watching, but sometimes forget to consider in my day to day life. So like when she says that it's not external things that determine our happiness or unhappiness, but rather how we interpret or respond to those things... I think about how when I see birds, it makes me happy. When I see a bumble bee at one of my garden flowers, I get all excited. However I know that for many other people, these things bring them no happiness at all. Some people don't notice birds at all or consider them 'nuisances'. Some see bumble bees and can only think of potentially being stung and wanting to kill the bees.Conversely, some people may feel sad if they lose their job. Other people might lose their job, and see it as an 'opportunity' for change. Some Americans may feel 'irritation' if a tourist approaches them in their town, and tries to ask for help with directions, but can't really speak English very well. For other Americans, they may find this 'exciting'...an opportunity to try and help someone...maybe even to use some of their foreign language skills.So indeed, so much about our 'mood' is perspective. Of course, I am talking about your average day to day occurrences in life. It's a very different thing to say it's all about 'perspective', when one is very ill, or a family member dies etc. But yet even then, perspective can be a 'factor', insofar as in some cultures, the death of a family member is seen as automatically 'traumatic' and life-altering and a guarantee of ensuing depression, for the family members that remain. Whereas in other cultures, death is seen as a bittersweet yet beautifully poignant transition...a part of the cycle of life....

I dont know who you are, but happines is not a state of mind dont be deceived. It is a reaction, an effect. The moment you stop believing this, is the moment you become delusional, and create your own reality, and i can assure you, you will fail, you will end unhappy. Maybe if i pronnounce the word "God" or even further "Jesus", you will say " i knew it, that only a christian will disagree with her teachings". But i will be cruel and ask you to try it out. Waste your time with this kind of beliefs, but when you will discover the terifying truth behind it my friend, you will need a good pair of shoes, and bravely pray to the very Jesus for speed, couse you will need to run very fast from it.

I thought she did a wonderful job of introducing a subject that one would need to delve into deeper, in terms of personal awareness and practice. I found some of the negative comments on her talk reflect some misconception of the underlying ideas behind the talk. I would encourage the authors of those comments to accept her talk as a challenge: try to learn more about looking inward, meditation. This is something that takes some time and personal experience to see for oneself. The ideas can be understood quickly, but the mind may require time and practice to really know them. Best wishes.

Daniel Blaha I think that's a great habit! I don't think something like meditation can be a cure-all, which is what I meant.. But meditation can have huge health benefits, like so many great options that are out there.
happy wife, happy life.
Almost...
I’m watching this 23/08/2023…I’ve never seen a calmer person 🥰🥰
Her first question came in; it triggered..
The second one came gradually; I bursted into tears and my head is screaming
I'm so glad I came across this video. Her way of talking makes my head pause and walk slower. It's been tiring the past few weeks and I wasn't okay. Her wisdom helped me to pause and mind inner peace that I wasn't having recently.
Brand new to this and could really feel it working as I breathed in clear air... And then my dog farted . True story.
Red pill , LOL
Red Pill, Thanks for the great bellylaugh!! HO HO--still laughing!! :)

Red pill LOL! laughter adds to happiness.
Thanks to buddhism and wisdoms, I have learned so much. Attatchment of the external leads to suffering. We get angry at things we cannot change and that is that things change all the time. Nothing stays the same. Our age, our happiness, our sadness, wealth, health and our breath. We breathe in so that it comes out. Only thing that doesn’t change is the state of death, where you cease to breathe and exist. At the same time don’t let that fear rule over you. Everything ends so that things begins, hence the change. My personal most important question in life is: If I somehow or for some reason, were to die tomorrow, will I die happy?
With that question I can push myself to the urge of living life for what it is and that is the beauty of life and it is limitless. I at this point have not live life to the fullest yet so I am still in this journey thinking about my own question everyday and every moment
The ultimate of this universe and life is change as per Buddhism. Therefore, if someone having bad time, don’t feel so depressed or anxious because i promise everyone’s situation will change. 🙏🏽💐🙏🏽
I relate 100%. Outsourcing my happiness allllllllll the time. To be happy with myself for myself would be WORTH LIVING LIFE
Aaa
