Happiness is all in your mind: Gen Kelsang Nyema at TEDxGreenville 2014

Simple, profound truths are the realm of this Buddhist nun. Her message? The gift of happiness truly lies within our own hearts and minds. Gen Kelsang Nyema, exuding a peacefulness that immediately connects with the audience, starts by asking three questions: Are you having a good day? Why? Tomorrow, would you rather have a good day or a bad day? She teaches that we cannot put our happiness at the whim of other people and of circumstances. If we want to be happy, we have to "stop outsourcing our happiness to other people" and cultivate a source of inner peace. What happens next is quite astounding. The whole crowd of 350+ people proceeds to meditate with Nyema. There's a little squirming at first, but as she leads the audience through a calm citation of how to rest the mind, audience members feel a collective relaxation flow into the room and through the people. Fascinating! Refreshing.
This talk was part of TEDxGreenville UNZIPPED, held April 11, 2014, at the Kroc Center in Greenville, South Carolina. For more information about Gen Nyema and her co-presenters, please visit tedxgreenville.com/2014presenters

    I have an awakening when she said “stop blaming others for your unhappiness”. She is right. If we are happy inside, no matter the outside world how bad it is, we will still have a peaceful mind. On the other hand, if we have a war inside, no matter how many beautiful people we meet in our life, how lovely our surrounding is, we will not notice the good.

    I learned the importance of slowing down from a friend & classmate. The professors would ask questions & most of would blurt out the answer (wrong or right). When he was directly asked, he would take his time before he answered. You could tell everyone else was uncomfortable with the silence, but then he would share his thought through answer. I used this technique and my answers were so much more clear, and I learned a lot.

    That quote is completely wrong in my opinion. During meditation you look into the deepest corners of your mind without judgment(not easy to do) and you discover the things that are weighing you down from enlightenment. Then when you come out of deep meditation you gain new perspectives which can be used to get rid of these negative things. This is a continuous process of growth and in no way will happen in a short time. So my friend, that quote is completely off topic here.

    Sounds nice, but finding something or nothing is NOT a doing. What ignites that IS, but it already needs an extraordinairy level of being. So I see this phrase as subtly insincere to the student. Mr. Tilopa worked with haiku-kind of teachings .. It has dubious sides to me as it can be used to overpower students with a conscious intention to frustrate. Even Tolle these days shows subtle signs of it. The time is near that we are given keys to deeper knowing on an even democratic level, which would indicate the end of psychiatry as well as the end of the 'esoteric elite' ....

    I see your point and it makes sense. Also, the best psychiatrist is your own mind exploring itself and understanding what lies deep within your conscious. It must be done through meditation and I suggest an isolation tank as the senses can distract a person during this reflection period. The esoteric elite( the ruling class) have always known about this power for many years that is why our lives are full of distractions and our illnesses only treated by numbing through medication rather than enlightenment.

    1. Need to stop outsourcing our happiness. 2. Actively cultivate a source of peace and happiness from inside. 3. Happiness and unhappiness are both states of mind, therefore, their real cause can't be found outside the mind. It is not what happens to us but how we react to it that creates happiness and unhappiness.

    But that (to me) has always been obvious. This is so very easy to say when it is an example of working with a coworker you don't like! But what about real tragedies? What about a lifetime of abuse and trauma? What about subconscious (or even unconscious) reactions because of childhood trauma? Is happiness really a choice? You can go inside and find calm and love but then you still have to live in this world and sadly, truly bad things happen to very good people. What do you do then? Keep closing your eyes, breathing and finding your inner calm? You can't do that all the time. You still have to live in this world.

    Thanks to buddhism and wisdoms, I have learned so much. Attatchment of the external leads to suffering. We get angry at things we cannot change and that is that things change all the time. Nothing stays the same. Our age, our happiness, our sadness, wealth, health and our breath. We breathe in so that it comes out. Only thing that doesn’t change is the state of death, where you cease to breathe and exist. At the same time don’t let that fear rule over you. Everything ends so that things begins, hence the change. My personal most important question in life is: If I somehow or for some reason, were to die tomorrow, will I die happy? With that question I can push myself to the urge of living life for what it is and that is the beauty of life and it is limitless. I at this point have not live life to the fullest yet so I am still in this journey thinking about my own question everyday and every moment

    Happiness and joy are not fleeting..... They are consistent and neverchanging... They can be our normal default state.... But what we r doing is... We are confusing happiness with pleasures... Which depends on the stimulation of our senses.... Which definitely is fleeting.... Because for e. G we feel the best when we bite into a steak or listen to a song b ecause it stimulates our tongue or hearing.... But that rush or feeling disappears after a few bites and we certainly get bored of listening to the same tune..... We need something else.... This limited nature of sensual pleasures makes us feel that it is fleeting.... So pleasure and happiness are different.... Dont overglamorise peace because that is the most basic criteria to njoe anything just a have a meal.... We cry so much about peace because may somewhere during the journey we lost that also.... With enuf practice and dedication we can be ecastatic at every instant....

    I think you're speaking about non-duality which may not be suitable for a general audience. We can simply say that peace of mind brings forth causes for happiness to arise. Non-duality can be introduced later. It would be like giving a child an injection and saying this will hurt rather than giving them a teddy bear to focus on.

    I disagree. There comes a moment where peacefulness actually ends up leading to happiness. As the moment you stop attributing labels to negative thoughts, emotions and so forth; you end up experiencing life in its entirety through this newly found pair of lens; which is the lens of acceptance and that ultimately leads to a state of blissfulness.

    I love your videos. Hello your holiness. I am a researcher on Buddhism in Bihar. Don't you want to know and see where the first Tibetan Sangaram was opened solely for foreigners. This is north of Patna on the northern banks of the Ganges. Xuan Zangs lovely book led me to the Sangaram. According to him three Sramanas from across the SNOWY MOUNTAINS (From the area around 'Taro Co' lake in northern Tibet) crossed over to India on a pilgrimage to holy Buddhist sites. Indians fail to understand who they are and no one gives them food and shelter and sometimes beat them up. They were lying by the side of the road dying when the King rode up. He inquired about them and when they told him their story, the King realised a Sangaram was needed for foreigners only where Indians won't be allowed. So this can be regarded as the first Tibetan Sangaram in India. Those days Indians had pierced ears because they wore ear rings. Foreigners had unpierced ears so this Sangaram was for unpierced ears. Those days Indians didn't know about Tibet so this Sangaram was for unpierced years, meaning foreigners. Today that Sangaram is a village and that King is the local village deity. This story proves that Buddhism went to Tibet prior to Xuan Zangs epic journey to India. So Tibetans will have to study how and when Buddhism went to Tibet. Because Xuan Zang seems to infer that Buddhism went to Tibet much earlier than what the great masters claim today.

    It brought tears to my eyes when the first question is asked. Am i happy? Then suddenly, all of my walls crumbled and fell apart. I tried so much to hide my insecurities, and filled my head with positive thinking, to the point that the negatives and problems are just pushed down, not solved. I thought that was a righteous move, to be happy. But then seeing her so calm, i crushed. Observing her peacefulness, i cried and answered : no, i'm not happy, even why i tried so hard to be positive. In that very moment, i realized what i am missing, is peace. If inside of you are having a war, then no positive thoughts can last. I lacked peace. That's why i am so easy to be looked through just by one simple question : are you happy? Thank Gen Kelsang Nyema, for what you have taught me today, that the ultimate and greatest happiness, and the one truly stable happiness, is inner peace. I wish you peace and success.

    I can safely say that by now, your inner peace have failed you multiple times right ? If her teachigs are right, then how is possible ? Its simple. Its a lie, what goes around you does affect you, like it supose to do. You want to be happy, like me, like all of us. She says "inner peace", i say "Jesus Christ". What do you say, both seems to be source of happiness. Which one will last on the long run ? When Jesus sacrificied his life for our sins, he didn't care if we where belivers or not, he did it for all of us, so that includes also his torturers. For you, for me, thats a lot of love. Can you love the people who trully want you dead ? And by love, i mean giving even your life for them ? Well, here is your answer. Strive for this kind of love, and your happines, will not be from this world. And on the road you will find out where this "inner peace" have its place on a true happines scaleing path.

    This is deceptive. In actuality, this organization she is from (New Kadampa Tradition aka NKT) is highly controversial and you can just as easily find videos of her group with fists in the air, scowling, banging drums outside of teachings attended by Tibetan and Nepalese refugees. There are also many people who have come forward reporting spiritual abuse by the NKT.

    She's great and I agree; I can't help but wonder if this is easier for her to attain than for those of us in mainstream life. She's surrounded by other people who practice meditation and being in a serene state all of the time. She is also surrounded by others that believe as she does, think similarly, and live similarly. Easy not to externalize happiness. Or easier.

    I think an important point has been missed here though, I know she didn't exactly bring it up, but she has done so by example. By taking the time to practise this state of mind is what makes it easier to achieve it. Practise makes perfect after all. Part of the point she's trying to make is that people are too 'busy' blaming their state of mind on others, instead of using that time to practise, which is exactly what's happened here when you accuse her of being in an environment more suited to achieving such a state of mind. I hope this is helpful in understanding what she is trying to do.

    I understand what she's trying to do and am glad that she's doing it. I'm not blaming anyone. I'll put it another way. Put two people in contained environments. One environment is quiet while the other is a loud, continual barrage against the senses. Now tell both subjects that the goal is to achieve Zen calm. One will have an easier time of it. Of course. Can happiness be achieved by constantly training the mind regardless of one's environment? Yes. Not impossible but in some cases more challenging than in others. It's an observation.

  • @timmcc6899

    @timmcc6899

    7 жыл бұрын

    Not necessarily. The person in the quiet environment doesn't have the outside influences necessary to learn what a Zen state is. I understand what you mean though, with the amount of information being bombarded upon the other person, and how they may be unable to filter out the unnecessary 'noise'. Either person is going to need those outside influences so that they may understand what that Zen state is. Its about developing the mental filters necessary to achieve such a state, which comes from practise, which makes the issue personal, not environmental.We've seen plenty of examples in the past where people have achieved things contrary to stereotypes and social norms, and whilst it may be a greater challenge, that its achievable is proof in itself. Its the act of questioning that can prevent the achievement, because there's no acting upon the achievement itself, which once its achieved, the challenge is overcome. Which again is a personal idea, not environmental. Don't fear the challenge. Fear instead, not accepting the challenge, because you will have gained nothing by standing idly by in 'observation' of what others achieved by accepting that challenge themselves.

    In my opinion, there's not something called happiness. It's just a state of mind. It's absence of negative emotions such as anger, greed, and ignorance, aka 貪瞋痴 in Japanese. That is, happiness is not like you gain something but like you remove stains of mind.

    Knowing nothing is false happiness. Knowing a little is false despair. Knowing a lot or everything is true bliss. Knowing more and more may seem like it just makes life more complicating, but that's your fault for wanting to know more. However, when you open your mind and begin to see the values and beauty in the actual truth, you will begin to experience true happiness. I recommend just looking in your heart when you were a little kid, you will see such beautiful happiness. The path to finding true and permanent happiness is enduring and great, and it takes great effort to not walk the wrong path
