First microhoiad For years of service and life problems the world St.
2
Antony pumpkin Lynd solche du die südl Good morning It has been quite a privilege being able to grow up in two quite different ways of life.
3
I was born in Germany and at the same time had the chance to learn more about an ancient art coming from the Shaolin Temple.
4
When you grow up in an Asian family, it is quite common that, firstly, you don't argue with your father and secondly you either become medical doctor engineer or lawyer elsewise your parents will be very unhappy so having that said I finished my academic education with two university degrees MBA and quite a collection of different certificates and diplomas.
5
Everything that my parents thought be useful to have.
6
But throughout this education I felt something was missing because I was learning about many different aspects.
7
how the plant is working, what an atom is made out of, how political system is functioning, but somehow the subject was missing to learn something about myself.
8
So with the age of four for the first time I got introduced into the monastic practices.
9
And I was very happy to find out that the main part of these practices were dealing with the exploration and the discovery of yourself.
10
There was mental training, development of behavior combined with the physical training, all aspects of what nowadays is known as Shaolin Kung Fu.
11
Now despite the wishes of my parents to somehow go out in the market and try to manage the world, I decided to continue this monastic life and start learning more about myself first.
12
Now in the preparation for this talk I was asked to share a few words on what is important in this lifetime.
13
and see it's already challenging to put three decades into a single talk.
14
But the picture I would like to show you summarizes very much what I consider as being valuable in this lifetime.
15
there is something about sharing with others there is something about connection there is the training and development of yourself it is to enjoy your time even doing nothing and And one main aspect is to find a way and do the things you like to do.
16
Now, when I received the invitation to have a talk at today's event, especially under the slogan, High, Higher, Highest, something very particular came up on my mind.
17
And a master from the Shaolin Temple once told me a story that I would like to share with you.
18
A man was living close to a mountain and every day he was thinking how would it be to climb that mountain and what would I see on the peak.
19
So finally the day came and the man went on the journey.
20
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, he met the first traveler.
21
So he asked, how did you get up the mountain and what did you see from the top?
22
And so the traveler shared his path and also the view that he had.
23
But then the man was thinking, the way that this traveler described to me sounds very exhausting.
24
I need to find another way to climb.
25
So he continued to walk on the foot of the mountain until he met the next traveler.
26
So once again he asked, how did you climb up that mountain?
27
And what did you see from the top?
28
And so again the traveler shared his story.
29
Still not being determined on which direction and which way to go, the man asked 30 more people, 30 more travelers.
30
When he finished talking to all of them, he finally made up his mind.
31
Now that so many people already shared with me their paths and especially what they all saw from the top, I don't need to climb there anymore.
32
It is very unfortunate this man never went on the journey.
33
Now to conclude this story, firstly, each individual needs to find the most suitable way to climb that mountain.
34
But secondly, there is information possible to be shared with words.
35
But it is impossible to share the experience of clarity when you are standing on that peak by yourself.
36
To invest the right effort in climbing that peak is very much what all the Buddhist practices, the Shaolin training or any spiritual practice is about.
37
Clarity means you see more clear.
38
When you see more clear, interrelations become more apparent.
39
When you see more clear, there is no need to believe anyone or believe anything.
40
Seeing clear means you can distinguish for yourself which is the proper direction to take.
41
and which decisions do I have to make in order to make my goals or aspirations start to shape.
42
Now at today's talk, you will have the chance to become inspired by quite a lot of different travelers.
43
But in this particular talk, I can't and I won't tell you which way to go.
44
is just that along your personal journey, you will encounter challenges.
45
Those challenges will either prevent you or some of them even stop you from moving on and climbing that mountain.
46
In the Shaolin Temple, we refer to them as the five hindrances.
47
The five hindrances are describing different states of the mind.
48
In those states of the mind it becomes very hard to see clearly and therefore engage in the right decisions.
49
The first hindrance is called sensual desire.
50
Sensual desire arises in the moment when you are paying attention to something that is giving you a positive emotion.
51
This positive emotion can originate from five gates of your body.
52
Seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting or feeling.
53
So in your mind, you climb up that mountain.
54
After one mile of walking, you discover a beautiful restaurant, surrounded by beautiful people.
55
You smell delicious food and the great variety of beverages.
56
When you follow that temptation, you have already lost your track.
57
When this temptation becomes so strong that you don't want to leave that place anymore, then the sensual desire has turned into an obsession.
58
In both cases, remaining at that place means you can't get clarity.
59
The second hindrance, ill will, describes a state of the mind that arises from negative emotions.
60
In that state of the mind, you have an aversion, a rejection, or simply a dislike against either an object, a situation, or can be even a person.
61
To simplify, it means you are climbing the mountain and it starts to rain, but you don't like rain.
62
You discover the roads are bumpy, but you don't like bumpy roads.
63
In order to cross the river, you need to swim, but you don't like swimming.
64
Whatever it is that you dislike, it won't make it a pleasant journey.
65
Unless you learn to let go of this ill will, it's more likely even that you won't continue that journey.
66
The third hindrance, originally translated as sloth and torpor, sloth means it's the heaviness of the body, torpor means it's the dullness of the mind.
67
It is characterized by sleepiness, non-motivation, lack of energy, and often times can manifest itself in a state of depression.
68
Now, a simile used in Buddhism describes it as imprisonment.
69
You find yourself locked in a cell.
70
It becomes very hard to make any type of mental or physical effort.
71
So in order to continue your path, there is only one option left.
72
You need to find a way to get out from that hole, from that cell.
73
Now, the fourth hindrance is called restlessness.
74
It is the state of an unsettled mind.
75
Unsettled mind means your mind cannot settle.
76
Settle where?
77
Settle in the present moment.
78
An unsettled mind either is worrying about the future or traveling into the past and rejecting, judging about an event that happened into your past.
79
A simile used here is the monkey mind, constantly jumping from one branch to another, unable to stay for too long time at the present moment.
80
The problem is, there is no time to see clearly anymore.
81
Now, the last of the five hindrances is called skeptical doubt and is very closely related to a state of mind which is based on indecisiveness.
82
It is very easy in that state of mind getting lost in thoughts.
83
Can I do this?
84
Is this the right path?
85
What will the other say?
86
What if this?
87
What if that?
88
The mind cannot synchronize with your own actions anymore.
89
And the result is that you are getting disconnected with the goals and aspirations that once you have set to yourself.
90
When the way is filled with too much doubts, more often you will stop instead of moving on.
91
That we know the five hindrances now, what are we going to do about them?
92
You need to align and structure your life in such a way to prevent those hindrances from your life.
93
prevent those hindrances from arising.
94
If you are not successful, you need to use techniques in order to remove them.
95
Each of these hindrances is placing a dark cloud on your mind or on the way of your climb.
96
Simply remember one thing.
97
Just let it rain.
98
This is a four-step method to help you removing those hindrances.
99
The first step is recognize in what state of the mind you are finding yourself in.
100
Afterwards, learn to accept, acknowledge, and allow the situation or a person to be the way how it is, to be the way how they are.
101
Investigate your emotional and mental state and ask questions.
102
Why did it come up?
103
What is going to be the consequence if I remain in that state?
104
And ultimately, non-identification means it is the practice.
105
I am not the body.
106
I am not the mind.
107
I am not my emotion.
108
It's just that I can see all these three aspects about me.
109
All of our lifetimes, all of our lives are too unique to copy the past from someone else.
110
To bring meaning to your life, to bring value into your life, you need to learn and master yourself.
111
And don't let the hindrances stop you.
112
If any of you chooses to climb that path to clarity, I will be very happy to meet you at the peak.

なぜこの動画で話す練習をするのか？

この動画は、自己習得の障害についての講演であり、自己理解を深めるための貴重な教訓が含まれています。特に、講演者の経験と見解を通じて、自己探索や物事を明確に見ることの重要性が強調されています。このような内容は、英語スピーキング練習に非常に役立ちます。具体的なストーリーや事例が用いられ、情感を持って表現されるため、学習者は感情に訴える表現を学びやすくなります。また、話し合いのコンテキストで英語を学ぶことで、実際のコミュニケーション能力も向上します。

文法とコンテキストにおける表現

  • 過去形の使用: 講演者は自身の経験を語る際に過去形を多用しています。例：“私はドイツで生まれ育ちました。”
  • 疑問文: 聴衆の興味を引くために疑問文が頻繁に使用されています。例：“あなたはこの山を登るために何をする必要がありますか？”
  • 命令形: 自己探索の重要性を強調するために命令形が使われます。例：“自分自身を探求しなさい。”
  • 比喩の使用: 山を登るという比喩を通じて、人生の挑戦を表現しています。これは、理解を深めるのに効果的です。

よくある発音のトラップ

この動画にはいくつかの発音の注意点があります。まず、“self-mastery”という言葉は、スムーズに発音するのが難しいかもしれません。“self”と“mastery”の間に明確な区切りをつけることが求められます。また、“clarity”という言葉も発音のトラップの一つです。特に“clar”の部分を明瞭に発音しないと、意味が不明瞭になります。これらの言葉に注意を払い、動画を見ながら英語の発音を良くする訓練をすることで、自然な英語に近づけることができます。

このように、YouTubeで英語学習を進めながら、発音や文法に注目して学習することで、英語スピーキング練習を効果的に行うことができます。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
