51 minutes Posted Mar 4, 2019 at 6:52 pm.
Ways to cultivate the mind, and different forms of meditation (see episode 2)
Reason I launched Peak Mind
His Holiness the Dalai Lama comes in to set context for Meditation
Soft focus and gaze in front of you, but do not close your eyes
Focusing on the breath useful for when you are agitated, 20-30 reps
Process begins (silent)
His Holiness comes back in, discusses shamata and vipassana, and Indian origins
Pray to god with music, their mind fully focused on god, is common to all
Think more about faith // or love love is the key message, message of love, forgiveness
Faith is the conviction to develop practice of love
As far as the fundamentals all roads lead to love, philosophies differ, but not essence
If focus on love, conflict will be reduced
Question and Answer period begins
The love of a child, the origins of love
Universal rights, unbiased love, is not oriented towards or affected others attitude
What is the Dalai Lama’s process for making a tough decision?
The melding of the head and the heart
Warm-heartedness brings determination, compassion is truthful
A lot of unhealthful activities are selfish, and cause one to hide, breaks trust
Trust is built on concern for others well being
How to face responsibility of being at the center when billions listening
Dalai Lama each of us have the moral responsibility to think about humanity
If focus on selfleads to loneliness, see commonality
How His Holiness the Dalai Lama feels when meditating
If focus your mind it will really change your life, you can cultivate calmness of the mind
If granted one wish for humanity what would it be?
The power of dialogue
Billionaire not necessarily correlated to happiness
Existing education system is inadequate
‘Believers’ unless carry seriously, we are lacking serious conviction about inner-value
Atlas of human emotion
Shunyata emptiness - similar to quantum physics
Anger and Fear, the dangers within
Forgiveness helpful in calming the mind
Correlation “MIND CALM, IMMENSE BENEFIT FOR HEALTHY BODY”
More important is inner-beauty, and knowledge of system of emotion is crucial
Respect all religions and non-believers
Nalanda masters, ancient knowledge students of that tradition -
Ahimsa non-violence and religious harmony
Dalai Lama cracks up in laughter
Aloe Blacc sings “Love is the Answer”
