Meditation So I would like to discuss about meditation.

But first of all, I'd like to ask you a very simple question.

Can you see my hand?

Yes, raise your hand.

OK, can you hear me?

Yes?

Great.

That is meditation. So finish.

My tattoo is finished.

Of course, I'm just kidding.

But in a way, that is true.

Why?

What we call the essence of meditation is awareness.

And what is awareness knows what you're thinking, feeling, doing, seeing, hearing.

That's all.

So actually, meditation is very easy.

But many people found it difficult.

Why?

There are true misunderstandings about meditation.

So the first is, many people think meditation means think of nothing.

Stop thinking.

Concentration.

I'm meditating.

Keep quiet.

So the more when you try to stop thinking, What happens?

You will think more.

So we will do a small experiment, OK?

Now, please don't think about pizza.

No pizza?

What happened?

Did you think about pizza or ...

No?

Yes, raise your hand.

I know.

So, actually, we don't need to stop thinking.

We just need to connect with awareness.

And another misunderstanding about meditation is what we call bleasing out,

looking for peace, calm, joy, relax.

The more you feel relaxed,

then peace, calm, joy, relax, and run away.

So let me share you my own experience.

When I was young, I had panic attacks.

Although I was born in the right middle of the Himalayan mountain,

the area, the village, wonderful,

but panic followed me as like shadow.

And I have so much fear for strangers.

I cannot go out and meet people.

And a lot of storms in the Himalaya mountains, thunderstorms, snowstorms.

These storms drive me crazy.

And when I was nine years old,

I asked my father to teach me meditation.

Luckily, he was a great meditation teacher.

And the first thing, what he said is,

don't try to fight with panic.

Don't try to get rid of panic.

And actually, he said, you don't have to.

Why?

Awareness is like sky in the mountain,

and the panic is like storm in the mountain, like clouds.

And no matter how strong storm is,

it doesn't change the nature of the sky.

So sky is always present, pure, calm.

Similarly, our fundamental quality of mind,

awareness, is always present, pure, calm.

But the problem is we don't know how to connect with awareness.

What we see, only thought, emotion, that's all.

So he said there are three steps of practice to connect with awareness.

The first one, we have to use an object,

support, to connect with awareness.

So this is one of my first meditation techniques,

what I learned from my father.

So you can join and you can relax your muscles in your body.

If you cannot relax, also OK, it's allowed.

And close your eyes, and please listen to sound.

And when you hear the sound through ear and mind together, that is the meditation.

And let pane come and go,

let pizza come and go.

And maybe two pizzas, three pizzas, ten pizzas.

As long as you remember the sound, you can have pizza.

Okay, how was it?

Did you hear the sound?

Yes, raise your hand.

Great.

That is the meditation.

Very easy.

Just hear, that's all.

You don't have to do anything.

So a pene comes, let pene come and go,

don't care, just listen to sound.

Monkey mind comes, blah, blah,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Let it come and go, just listen to sound. So I did that.

But I have a big problem.

The problem is lazy.

I'm a lazy boy.

I love the idea of meditation,

but I don't like the practice of meditation.

100

So on and off like that for five years,

101

when I was 13 years old,

102

in India, there's traditional three-year retreat going to start.

103

I thought I should join this because good for my laziness.

104

And I joined.

105

The first month, wonderful, not lazy.

106

Second month, lazy comeback.

107

Now what happened, my lazy and my panic,

108

they too become good friends.

109

The life in the retreat became disaster.

110

And I thought I should leave.

111

But I feel embarrassed to leave because I told all my childhood friends that I can do the retreat, you know.

112

I don't want to lose my face.

113

But if I stay, almost three years to go,

114

then I thought, what should I do?

115

In the end, I decided to learn how to live with panic.

116

So now we have this second step, what we call ...

117

Actually, we can meditate everywhere, anytime, with anything.

118

So you can meditate with a panic.

119

How do you do that?

120

Just like listen to sound,

121

when you listen to sound,

122

sound becomes support for your meditation.

123

Now you can watch panic.

124

If you see the panic, great.

125

What we call, when you see the river,

126

you're out of the river.

127

When you see the mountain,

128

you're out of the mountain.

129

So now awareness becomes more than panic,

130

more than depression, stress, monkey mind, whatever.

131

Let them come, let them go.

132

So that is the first benefit.

133

And second benefit, what we call wisdom comes.

134

So when you look at the panic,

135

panic is not solid stone anymore.

136

Panic becomes pieces.

137

Sensation here, frightened image, voice, background belief.

138

And if you take one of these away, you cannot find panic.

139

So what I call panic becomes like shaving foam,

140

looks like a piece of rock,

141

but inside full of bubbles.

142

Then three, what I call this is acceptance, like self-kind, self-love, self-compassion.

143

You let panic come and go,

144

that's really acceptance, isn't it?

145

So three in one, awareness, love and compassion, wisdom.

146

Sometimes what I call buy one, get two free.

147

Big deal, right?

148

And all this because of panic.

149

So now panic becomes your teacher, your best friend.

150

So I did this practice,

151

and in the end, me and my panic become very good friends.

152

And a few weeks later, panic is gone.

153

I miss my friend.

154

And I finished my retreat.

155

My retreat went very well.

156

And after that, I was very eager to share this wonderful technique to the world.

157

So I taught meditation in many places,

158

wrote a few books, became a bestseller,

159

and then students, and became abbot of a few monasteries.

160

And what happened?

161

A kind of new ego emerged within me.

162

I thought, oh, I have to watch out this.

163

Then I decided to do something very special,

164

what we call wandering retreat,

165

meaning you left everything behind,

166

go on the street with nothing.

167

So I decided to do that in 2011.

168

I left my monastery, my student,

169

my wonderful cozy bed, everything,

170

and go on the street with only a few thousand Indian rupees.

171

And that finished within a few weeks.

172

that I have to bake food.

173

And I got food poisoning.

174

Vomiting, diarrhea, I'm alone on the street.

175

Now I'm going to die.

176

Then I thought, what should I do?

177

So now we have the third step,

178

what we call open awareness meditation.

179

Awareness be with itself.

180

Sky be with itself.

181

Now no need to have support.

182

Just be awareness itself.

183

So I did that practice.

184

Then what happened?

185

My body became decaying.

186

I cannot see, I cannot hear.

187

But my mind became so present, beyond, free.

188

And I was in that state for a few hours.

189

Luckily, I didn't die.

190

I come back.

191

So when I come back,

192

the street becomes like my home.

193

When I look at the tree,

194

the tree becomes like a tree of love.

195

and wind blows to my face, become joyful experience.

196

And the rest of my retreat went very well.

197

I learned a lot from my retreat.

198

So I like to share this open awareness meditation,

199

but it is very difficult to explain.

200

But I want to do something drama.

201

And this is what I learned from my father.

202

So what we call this mala is the crazy monkey mind,

203

bala bala bala yara yara.

204

And the open awareness meditation means you don't have to do anything.

205

Just be.

206

That's all.

207

And you don't need to meditate the sense of presence,

208

being, but not lost. Be free, be present.

209

Thank you very much.
