Expectations and Appreciation

In this short video recorded in India, Mingyur Rinpoche gives the Tergar community an in-depth look at the first few weeks of his retreat. He talks in inspiring terms about how he worked with the expectations he brought with him on retreat and the near-death experience that transformed his resistance and attachment. You can discuss this teaching in the Monthly Teachings Forum of learning.tergar.org under the topic Expectations and Appreciation.
Video length: 18 Minutes
Reflection Questions
Have you practiced letting go of expectations and if you have, did it change your outlook?
Have you found that practicing appreciation has an effect on your daily life?
This video includes subtitles in English, Bulgarian, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

    I realized that Buddhism ist the best way out of suffering. Even when you just practice bits and pieces of it it helps. Thank you. Rinpoche.

    I meditate with Rinpoche every morning, and try to watch at least one of his videos a day. He has changed my life. This week I am blessed to be on vacation at the beach with my daughter and son-in-law and lots of family members. To be able to meditate at the beach is such a wonderful experience that I will treasure forever. Being able to meditate out in nature is incredible! Especially when the Ocean is my Home in my Heart. ❤️ 🌊 🌺

    16:11 literally 4-5 seconds before he said "you have beautiful eyes" I accidentally poked my left eye and I was thinking "hell, what would I do without my eyes?". And then he said "appreciate that you have nice, beautiful eyes", which was a perfectly timed coincidence.

I am facing the loss of my dog to cancer , we have been together for almost 9 years he is my best friend, my child, we had special bond now I have to put him to sleep. I am struggling, what would you say to me I wonder ? I am just starting my journey of meditation and wanting to become a buddhist . Everything is unraveling.!!

    Practicing gratitude in everything good or bad has done this for me a great deal. Even if I drop a spoon. Said 'so what. Thank you. Some reason I dont know is why I dropped this.' because I was so annoyed. Got a vision of being sick from eating with that object. The bible speaks of this. Show gratitude for everything, EVERYTHING - and watch how light you become. Thank you Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche.

    Another instructive narrative of high quality simplicity about the recognition of the differences between helplessness like a dependent child, and dispassionate adult wisdom necessary to manage the experiences, self-teaching and practiced altogether in this one person. An example anyone can emulate without having to experience the extreme NDE, but it's a matter of applying "free will" to self-deny unnecessary distractions, and relearn what you already know empirically, from the opposite perspective intellectually. After you do the best you can with what you have, here-now-forever, do nothing and all will be done. (Philosophical appreciation)

    14:50 - main takeaway: to observe our layers of attachment (that lead to expectations and possibly depression) and go beyond them to appreciate simple gifts that we do have in life.
