Happiest Man on Earth | Mingyur Rinpoche | Talks at Google

This refreshing book is yet another sign that the next generation of Buddhism is creative, cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary. Born in 1975 in Nepal, the author is among the generation of Tibetan lamas trained outside of Tibet, and he's also a gifted meditator. His brain activity has been measured during meditation, earning him the enviable sobriquet of "happiest man on earth." He fuses scientific and spiritual considerations, explaining meditation as a physical as well as a spiritual process. Mingyur Rinpoche knows from experience that meditation can change the brain. He experienced panic attacks as a child that he was able to overcome through intensive meditation. If diligently practiced, meditation can affect the "neuronal gossip"—his imaginative rendering of brain cell communication—that keeps us stuck in unhappy behaviors. The meditation master offers a wide variety of techniques, counseling ease in practice to avoid boredom or aversion. Less is more; practice shorter periods more often, he says. His approach will be especially welcome for anyone frustrated by meditation or convinced they're "not doing it right." This book is a fresh breath from the meditation room, written with kindness, energy and wit. Three cheers for a cheerful contemplative.

Rinpoche's point on not making a boss or enemy out of your suffering is so simple, yet so powerful. I'm trying to stop being socially awkward and heal the traumas from my life, but nothing seems to work. In fact, things have gotten worse the more I focussed on them. Making friends with the suffering as an idea fills me with optimism. I hope anyone reading this finds peace and happiness from their suffering.

Dear Rinpoche, My deep regards and gratitude. I always follow your meditation techniques. But frankly, I just love the smiles on your face like a child. I always wonder if it will be possible for me to gain this kind of happiness in life again. Namaskar.

[i.a.-infiniteawareness]

Thank you Rinpoche for your teachings. Love sent to all 💚🙏🏼👍

[metalhanded]

he is pleasant to watch and listen to. he must be a master meditation-er to be able to be in an FMRI and not be too distracted. i know i would and im pretty good at zoning in or out if i want. i like when he asks "you know" at sentence end. in machine he "...was itchy. You know itchy?". good vid.

Hi it's me. The meditation is going well. I m calm and even happy.
I get the message from them now.
I got a message Friday. Saturday I sent a story about apostle Simon the zealot.
I did the meditation and sort of got in struction on how to contact them..I was really pleased. I will use that.
I am well. I have a problem with diarrhea but right now I have a double T square astrologically the house most hard hit is my fourth Cancer and my Mars and Saturn are there. Plus my moon is in Aquarius Saturn is retrograde in Aquarius and retrograde Saturn. opposes my Pluto in Leo.
Most of all I m really busy.
Have a great week
Thanks
