>>Rinpoche: Now I would like to share you a little bit about some meditation techniques.

What we call- there's two things: wisdom, wisdom and second is experience. Technique,

Modal verbs - A2

meditation technique. Should I tell you wisdom first or experience first? Direct meditation

experience first or the wisdom aspect first? Wisdom first, raise your hand...okay. Meditation

>>Rinpoche: Most people like wisdom. Okay. And this wisdom what we call "finding balance,

finding balance." So anything when you meditate first important is you have to know the balance.

Sometime what we call inner-balance. And the balance is not being too tight, not being

too loose. That's the balance. And this is the balance not only with meditation, also

important in your life in your daily life. And special here, you guys working in company,

Google, and in any work, any job you need balance. If you have balance, then you can

do much better. You can do easily, happy, and the effect and actually is more powerful,

more- effect, effective. You can achieve your goal more quick and more easy, okay.

The first I would like to show you some kind of like magic show...

>>Rinpoche: Would you like to learn some magic show?

>>Rinpoche: No, no, no, not the magic but any way. Let's say, water here, yeah, water?

In order to drink this water, you need balance. So that's just a simple example. I'm saying

that balance, balance is important in daily life, yeah. Okay let's say there's three style,

three style, to drink this water. The first style is: OKAY! I have to drink this water.

Grrrr. WATER! Haha. Oh, water spill out. Whew! That's first style, yeah.

And the second style: Gosh, I have to drink this water, you know. I'm going to drink this

water, awe, yawn, maybe tomorrow. [laughter]

>>Rinpoche: I have to drink water you know, whew, the water, yawn, maybe next week. Next

week become next year. And that's the second style.

Now third style: Relax your hand, your arm, just relax, and then grab it. Grab the cup,

bring close to your mouth, and drink water. Mmm, that's a bubble water.

Three style, which one you like? [laughing]

Third style? How many of you like third style? First style? Second style? Why most of you

>>Rinpoche: Afficient. Why first style, you don't like?

>>Rinpoche: Stress. Too tight, yeah. There's a lot of extra effort, extra tensions. No

need, but then it's too tight. In order to reach your hand from here to here, need a

lot of effort, yeah. So too tight. So you cannot drink your tea, your water very well.

Second too loose, you know. Tomorrow, maybe next day. So you're not making any effort.

So you're not making any effort, there's no result. The third style: Relax, just relax,

you know, relax your arm, Don't grab it too tight, And I grab the cup and I drink, you

know. Bring close to your mouth. Yeah, this one "How to have balance" now.

[clears throat] The balance is you have to set in your mind

first. So it what we call "inner-balance". How to set this balance in your mind. First

important is- try your best- with anything, because we all have good potential. Everybody

has wisdom, capability, special talent-talent, skills, powers, love, compassion, maybe you're

not good at that but you're good at others. So everybody has good things, actually. Scientists

said, if we have ten qualities within us, one of them is a negative and nine of them

is positive. But what we see's only one negative, and we don't see nine good qualities. We just

deny nine good qualities and exaggerate one bad quality and make'em all. That's why it

very important to recognize, we all have good things within us.

Do you believe? Somehow yes, but you cannot recognize, yeah? Do you have love and compassion?

Everybody has that, should I introduce you? Your basic love, basic compassion. For example,

>>male #3: Because you need to learn to drink water.

>>Rinpoche: Gain wisdom. It's like, actually, you come here- Why? Looking for something,

yeah. To achieve your wish and your desire, your goal, and want to be happy. So, you all

come here looking for happiness. I don't know how much happiness you can get from here,

but anyway, you all want to achieve something. And so, wishing to be happy is love, basic

love. So everybody has this love and kind. You have love about yourself also. You want

to be happy, yeah, but we are not recognize. That's a problem. So very important to recognize,

and mature. How you say- mature, use it, recognize it. And you have compassion, because you don't

want to be suffer. You don't want to have problem, yeah? No? You don't want to have

obstacles. This wish to be free from problem suffering is compassion.

Wish to be happy is love and kindness. Everybody has this. This is small example. This is why,

try your best to use. Try your best to achieve your goal, try your best to use your knowledge,

capable of whatever, but your mind, don't be too tight on the result. Because you cannot

achieve everything what you want. You cannot success all the time 100%. You cannot loss

all the time 100%. So our life is like wave of the ocean, you know. Or another example,

our life is like stock market. Up and down. That's good, yeah? Our life is up and down,

that makes our life colorful. Otherwise, no suffering there's no happiness. The stock

markets goes up and down that's why it makes money, yeah? If stock market always flat,

always same, you can't make money. Do you? No, it's up and down that's why it's good

to-good to have business. Same with our life, up and down's good. See

important is to accept this. Accept life's up and downs, consequences, you know. I will

tell you one story, oh, two story. One is with the stock market and one is with the

>>Rinpoche: Lottery, raise your hand. Stock Market, raise you hand. Okay. Lottery. Okay.

There's one old man, I have problem, sick, emergency. He have to go to hospital, emergency

hospital, and he have to stay there for a few days. And, actually, he had bought lottery,

you know lottery? And next day he win the lottery, but he don't know, because he's in

hospital. But his wife and children they know, and they're so happy and come to hospital

to share this good news to the father. And first they met doctor. And Doctor say oh,

don't tell this good news to your father, because of special type of disease, you know.

If you tell this to your father is too much excitement, over excitement, and he will die

right away. So don't tell this good news to your father. But the children doesn't believe
