Life Beyond Knowledge

TEDxYouth@LakeManalapan  by Master Shi Heng Yi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLY76-NBBxQ

Some of us are still lucky having parents a teacher or a mentor that are sharing with us their knowledge and experience and give us guidance but there will be the moment when the only person left to rely on is yourself

It is therefore my first suggestion to question and ask yourself

how can i learn to properly navigate without guidance in the previous talk my aim was to encourage people to spend some time investigating the different mental states that your mind can find itself in with the proper methods and a dedicated amount of practice.

You will be able to develop and cultivate yourself in such a way that your mind regains the ability to discover and realize things that you haven't been able to see before

Now just take a moment to imagine you're the captain on the ship located on the vast ocean what you are facing is stormy weather dark and heavy clouds and the ship is carried along the up and downs of the waves in such a situation i strongly trust that it is not enough to purely rely your actions on intellectual knowledge

It is a great asset if you are able to learn and read the signs of the ocean and be able to see the chances that are beyond any learned knowledge to sharpen the senses and being able to see possibilities beyond what the eyes are able to see

This truly is a sign of right knowledge. Now not everyone wants to become a sailor and not everyone is facing the same circumstances and the same situations but there are methods and there are insights that can make it possible and easy for us to safely find our way in order to shed light to the world indeed there is a saying

There is one earth that we are living on but billions of different worlds are existing on it before we continue to go deeper into the possibilities

Let me introduce you to the world where I am coming from

when is the time that i can direct my life

It is exactly now the greatest challenge but also the most difficult one that will bring out the most outstanding discoveries is to cultivate and master yourself

To regain control we must train the mind to be more present to live in the here and now and to find the answers within ourselves to perceive every moment as they are and to feel the most subtle changes within to continuously work on it that is the essential practice “What does my body what do my feelings want to tell me right now?”

The martial art is an instrument. An instrument able to teach us many things about ourselves and about the way of life

All practices have one single goal to regain balance starting step by step with the small things in life and to implement these principles with the purpose of bringing out the best of ourselves

the master guides the way but the student walks him

—

there are many ways for the expression of the shaolin way of life

it can be calligraphy it can be the buddhist practices but the most well-known expression today is the martial arts

regardless of their appearance the ultimate goal remains the same it is to explore and discover the potential that lies within the human body and especially mind

Our body is regarded as the vehicle that transports us from place to place therefore a great amount of time is dedicated to the practice and exploration of ourselves when you are starting your first steps in the shaolin kung fu

it is often also known as walking through the valley of pain because at some extent and at some point dependent on your level of practice

it is impossible to ignore all the different layers of perception that your body and mind is going through

we think we know our body but being perfectly honest we don't

there is so much more to learn so much more to know ever since we are looking for answers now

please apologize if you're misunderstanding what i'm about to say but

despite the common opinion that the shaolin teachings are derived from religious background they are not

let's assume you're asking me how is the weather today

i could answer the forecast said it's raining

the newspaper said it is cloudy

my mother told me it is stormy

if i rely on the forecast

i'm wrong if i rely on the newspaper

i'm wrong there can only be

one real answer which is not

based upon belief or any

conceptualized idea

it is by watching up the sky answering

so therefore the next suggestion i would like you to consider is derive answers from action and experience and don't rely them on intellectual knowledge and conceptualized ideas

now talking about conceptualized ideas, i would like to share with you a final story who would have guessed is another mountain

in ancient times, it has been a great honor being able to walk along

one master site with the only obligation to not talk

so the story goes that master lautzer took one of his disciples on a walk to take a glimpse at the early morning sunrise when they arrive just on time. When the first sunrays meet their eyes, the student is filled with such a joy that he speaks out. This is so beautiful when they returned back master lautzer never took the student for a walk again because

no matter how many words you speak

no matter how many sentences you write down

experience cannot be replaced by words

words are limited sentences are limited books and stories are limited

their only purpose is to guide and confirm your findings but these findings must come by your personal experience

It is your actions it is your behaviour. It is the small & subtle movements that serve as the ultimate expression of your understanding

to summarise this talk and as a guideline for yourself to keep in mind

these are the 3 points to be remembered

Take full responsibility in your hands & learn how to properly navigate. Observe more, free from judgment, free from discriminating, lessen the ignorance and try to create immersive and integral moments, & lastly practice to see and also hear beyond the obvious things

This world is not going to remember you by your personal achievements, It is going to remember you by the contribution that you have given to this world.

May all of us be blessed with the greatness of life thank you

La Bonté fondamentale et l'harmonie -Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoché

[erikaalamode]

Today I thought I’d share a little bit of how Asian religion influenced the creation of the Jedi, because the entire theology of the Jedi order is essentially space Buddhism. . . In Buddhism, we have the Three Universal Truths that guide our search for enlightenment. The first, annica, is impermanence, or the truth that everything changes and we must accept these changes to find peace and joy. Children grow into adults, saplings grow into trees, puppies into dogs, rivers and lakes and oceans are constantly in motion. Accepting change means accepting things we cannot control and appreciating them for what they are instead of what we think they should be. . . The second, dukkha, is suffering, or the truth that everything experiences pain. Whether that’s physical pain or emotional, like boredom, sadness, dissatisfaction, or anger, everyone suffers in life. We must detach from the experience of suffering to accept that it is a part of reality. If we can accept that we will suffer and that life is not always perfect, we will be happier. . . The third, anatta, is no self, or the truth that we do not exist as individuals independent of each other. We are simply the energy we create in this life. We can have no ego, we cannot claim or control or possess people or things. Every being is interconnected, people, trees, animals, the earth, and attempting to possess any one part of the universe exerts an individual ego over others and causes harm. . . This is not a comprehensive summary, it’s impossible to teach Buddhism in an IG post, but tune in tomorrow for the Four Noble Truths . . #starwars #padmeamidala #starwarscosplay #budhhism #cosplay #cosplayer https://www.instagram.com/p/CNadUMDjHEx/?igshid=1dge1u4q2nj89
