The path from a talented scientist to become a pretentious intellectual property notification flag  |
| Matthieu Ricard |
So, after pursuing university studies in molecular biology at University, working at the Pasteur Institute and completed the Ph.d. of biology of the University of Sorbonne in 1972, Matthieu Ricard then 26 years old announced to parents, teachers and friends about the decision to abandon a career in scientific researchscholarship to the United States, more research on biology, the future of a scientist is to front class monk, as a student in the Land Act pretentious flag of Tibet.
This was a too suddenly makes all the people were amazed, especially for parents of Matthieu Ricard-the people who put that expectation on his talented son.
For an explanation of the decision is that this is confusing, Matthieu Ricard has had an interesting talk with her father, a Buddhist monks and a philosopher, that "having pursued science is because the like the investigation. But then you see scientific research or to some also did not resolve the fundamental problems of human beings. Having seen how hypnosis is the investigation of the man going into all the details, but his own, the saw may not always do so.
Meanwhile, the attention to spiritual life. Originally, nothing is clear. When 15 years old, having read several books on religion, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, but American, not read. Which at the time, books on Buddhism, or very little translation work, written under the label of Western people misunderstand Buddhism is a philosophy of nothingness (nihilism) doesn't interest. ...
But in fact the mind in Buddhism was in 1966, when the age of 20, is in College, coming at the Pasteur Institute. You are watching a movie a friend of Arnaud Desjardins on the Tibetan lamas have migrated to Bhutan when the Communists invaded this country. Also around that time, talking with a friend-Dr. Frederick Leboyer-new in Darjeeling (India), said that having a few lamas there.
The images of their story and of Frederick, Grayson recounted met lamas that children have the right to Abode. because of the feeling you've seen in lamas that images of the things they suggest teaching the commandments. You do not understand why, just that they were the perfect Saint ranks, the Sage that now, in the West are hard to find.
Like to meet Mr. Socrates or Plato, or sit at the foot of Saint Francis d'Assisi, how? But it is the embodiment of the Holy Sage. You said, if there is anybody who attained to perfection, perfect it must be it. "
That is, Matthieu Ricard has made his first trip to India in 1967, when he rounded 21 years. In the fateful trip, he has predestined to meet with a lawyer representing Lama named Kangyur Rinpoché full of loving-kindness and compassion. Matthieu Ricard is he just taught about spirituality, but has never attended a class on Buddhism at all.
Ricard said to his father: "you say:" Buddhism has a lot to learn, but the important thing is do not ever attaching too much on professional books but forgot about the practice, by the new practices are the focus of the work of French Director ". Learn to master the self discovery of the basic principals of the mind to cosmopolitanism was with him. There are learning new visualizations for go to the enlightened understanding "...
Go to Paris then retire but having seen that trip was a revelation already dominates the meaning and direction of my children, that you don't know how it comes out. Once in India, studied at the Pasteur Institute in new sub clearly has to meet again the teacher is an important favour. From time to time, the thought of it ".
Hence, in 1972, Matthieu Ricard resolved to abandon modern life and promising career of a scientist to hit the road to Tibet, focused on the practice of Buddhism. He lives in the Himalayas, to study with the great master Kangyur Rinpoché and some other great masters in the Buddhist world. In 1979, Ricard officially became a monk, was the pupil of nearest and dearest Dilgo Khyentse yideng Rinpoché.In 1980, also thanks to the great master Riponché Khyentse, he had the opportunity for the first time to meet the Dalai Lama later became the French translators for him began in 1989. After the teacher Rinponché Khyentse's death in 1991, since then, Ricard has dedicated all of its activities and to make the thought was he passed.
Discusses the secret of happiness
Matthieu Ricard has lived on the Himalayan ridges over nearly four dozen this year on the great spiritual teachers. He stayed at the Shéchèn monastery (Nepal), dedicating his life to austerities, preserving the Tibetan culture and humanitarian projects in Tibet.
In addition to the time collecting and translating in French for the Dalai Lama, he also has many other activities in the role of a photographer, translator and has published works on the philosophy of life of the Buddha as well as the correlations between Buddhism and science.
Typical of his work is "the monk and the philosopher," recorded the conversation between the father he was translated into 21 languages, infinite "in hand" with co-author Professor Trinh Xuan Thuan-an eminent astrophysicist who carry American citizenship, "argued about happiness", "The snow", "the art of meditation" and "happiness: a guide to developing the most important skills in life". In addition, Ricard was also the translator of a lot of Tibetan Buddhism.
On the happy feet, Matthieu Ricard has expressed his views as follows: actually, "happiness" is a vague concept and people often get confused between happiness and the sense of fun. If interested, we jump up, make this, it, operations, and then we fell down, retire and depressed. Fun, depending on the circumstances. It is being provided. If you eat a cup of ice cream is great, two cups is also, but the dress to the third Cup, you'll want to puke. The interest is there.
Also happy, that's our innate awareness. We go on the snow, going beneath the stars and feel very excited, there's an inner conflict. When you have a trade body gestures with a child, there is no obligation at all, requires no praise or anything, you will feel is pure love.
And then gradually, you begin to distinguish the different state of mind, including the status of the offer happily, and the State brought negativity to yourself and to others. Are you wondering whether to eliminate the State causing troubles to nurture the State happily or not. The problem is: these emotions cause afflictions is part of Center for you or not?
Typically, when we have an emotion such as anger, for example, we fully associate ourselves with the feelings that I was so angry. And then we continue to escape from themselves and go to the target of his anger, the guys who made him angry. So, we're frustrated because of that. Whenever we see or remember to that person, the anger resurface, never ended.
However, instead of looking at the target of anger, you can separate your mind from the wrath. You can see the wrath as looking a flame or a volcano. You look at it, observe it as a phenomenon. If you do so, you can separate it from its fuel source, i.e. the target of anger. And then slowly, the anger will melt away, like people often say the undersides melted away when the sun rises. It is not sudden outburst in somewhere as a bomb timer. We ignore it, don't let it explode. I solved it in a way that made it is disabled.
It's nice to have a picture in your Mind the teachings Buddha. we like the surface of the mirror plate. The nature of the mirror is reflecting all images: the smiling or angry facial expressions or the facial expression of sadness, depression. But these pictures do not penetrate into the mirror. They are not a part of the mirror. If they are part of the mirror, they will prevent the other pictures.
Angry facial expressions will remain back in the mirror and smiling face will never show up. Similarly, there is a sense of purity, from which any notion of onset. If so, then indeed the hurt feelings are associated with these causes and conditions.
By train, using the right drug, to replace hatred with love, instead of greedy heart by inner freedom, you can change the landscape of the soul. That is meditation. Meditation is a very strange, but true, meditation simply means get familiar with an existing way, nurturing his inner qualities.
