The biggest mistake people make with meditation!

Описание: “If you look for peace, it will never come. And this is the biggest mistake that people do while meditating. All you have to do is…”

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche is the only authority on meditation in this entire world. A Tibetan Buddhist master who began meditating at the age of nine, he didn’t just study the mind—he battled it. As a child, he suffered from debilitating panic attacks. But instead of resisting them, he leaned in.

In this episode, Rinpoche dismantles the biggest myths around meditation and happiness. He reveals why gratitude isn’t just a feel-good exercise but a rewiring tool for the brain—and why writing down what you’re grateful for every day for 30 days can transform your life.

We dive into the modern-day struggles of attachment—why we cling to our phones, our identities, and our past—and how true freedom begins when we detach with wisdom, not apathy. Rinpoche introduces the three senses of self and the types of minds, showing us that we are not as fixed as we believe—we are fluid, ever-changing, and capable of deep transformation.

We also discussed:
. Overcoming childhood panic attacks
. 30-day gratitude habit
. Letting go vs. giving up
. Detaching from phones & things
. Three senses of self
. Love, compassion & wisdom
. Misunderstanding suffering
. True purpose of meditation
. The concept of Abhidharma
. Detachment without numbness
. Meditation & brain science
. The teachings of Buddha

Love. Compassion. Wisdom. These aren’t just spiritual ideals; they are the pillars of a well-lived life. And in this conversation, Rinpoche gives us the blueprint to not just understand them, but embody them.
