Matthieu Ricard (Part 2) - Monk Meditations and the Infinitude of Emptiness Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat

    • Mental Health

In Part 2 of my conversation with the inspiring and iconic Buddhist monk, Matthieu Ricard, he goes in-depth on the ancient meditation techniques that have helped him achieve a superlative kind of happiness. Click here for Part 1. Listen closely for lessons from a master of our time.

Matthieu Ricard is a Buddhist monk, author, translator, and photographer. He participated in a 12-year study on the long-lasting effects of meditation. He was found to have significantly altered the structure of his brain and it later led the media to title him “the world’s happiest man”. ​A practicing Buddhist monk and vegan, he campaigns for animal rights and often tours the world giving lectures and speeches on Buddhism and the concept of happiness.

In Part 2, we discuss:
The COVID-19 pandemic as a catalyst for "the year of silence and space"The compatibility of romantic love and the path to seeking self-realizationEroding negative tendencies slowly as they ariseAppreciating that there are many of us who would never hurt someoneHow the world is in fact becoming safer, gentler, and less tolerant to aberrations The modern epidemic of narcissismMatthieu’s three meditations practicesThe brilliant concept of "mind added tax"Emptiness as the true nature of all phenomenaHow Buddhism deals with first causeInstagram: @mo_gawdat
