  • What Meditation Really Is Page


    “Mindfulness” and “meditation” have become omnipresent over the recent years.


    But sadly, there are many popular yet wrong ideas about meditation. For instance, many people believe that in meditation, you’re supposed to think of nothing, and completely empty your mind; or that you have to concentrate really hard and never get distracted; or that you need to force yourself to enter a particular state of peace and calmness. As a result, many people, after trying meditation for a couple of times or even just hearing about these ideas, conclude that “This is too hard! I can’t do it! Maybe meditation is not my cup of tea.”


    The idea of “mindfulness” originates from ancient meditation traditions. It’s exactly because most people lack enough understanding about meditation, so many wrong ideas exist, preventing people from enjoying the real benefits of meditation effortlessly.


    So you may wonder — What really is meditation? What’s the origin of meditation? How is it different from mindfulness? How can its benefits be proven by modern science? How can these seemingly ancient meditation techniques benefit modern life?


    In this public teaching, our beloved teacher Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche will answer the questions that many people want to know about.
