20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,880
To the Reuben Museum of 
Himalayan Arts mindfulness 

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,280
meditation program here. 
At New York. 

22
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,800
Inside Meditation Center, I'm 
Tashi Chardan, Himalayan 

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Programs and Communities 
Ambassador and I'm delighted to 

24
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,680
be a host today. 
The Ruben is a global museum 

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,880
dedicated to Himalayan art and 
it's insights and we're so glad 

26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,480
to have all of you join us in 
person and online for this 

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,640
weekly program where we combine 
art and meditation. 

28
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,880
Inspired by our collection, we 
will first take a deep look at 

29
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,800
work of art we've chosen today. 
We will. 

30
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,720
Hear a brief talk from our 
teacher Kimberly Brown and then 

31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,920
we will have a short set 15 to 
20 minutes for the meditation 

32
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,920
guided by her. 
Let's take a look at today's. 

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,080
Theme and artwork The artwork 
for today's session is this 

34
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,440
beautiful dancing Ganapati 
origin from Tibet dated 17th 

35
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,240
century. 
It's gilded copper alloy with 

36
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:23,200
mineral pigments and as you can 
see beautiful inlays of semi 

37
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,520
precious stones like turquoise. 
The theme of the month in 

38
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:32,560
September is change and Lord 
Ganesha is synonymous with new 

39
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,800
beginnings and Ganapathi is a 
form of Ganesha, often also 

40
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,440
referred to as Lord Ganesh. 
The dancing form of Ganapati 

41
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,960
evokes the cosmic dance of 
existence. 

42
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,920
Now. 
Ganapati or Ganesh or Ganesha if

43
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,920
you're familiar with is called 
Chogda ha. 

44
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,800
In Tibetan word. 
The Lord Ganesha is also in 

45
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,240
Tibetan Buddhism, is related to 
the Chakrasambara cycle of 

46
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,680
Tantra and regarded also as the 
emanation of our Lokateswara. 

47
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:18,200
Now in Hinduism, Lord Ganesha is
the son of Shiva and Parvati and

48
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,080
often referred to as the 
Elephant headed God, removal of 

49
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,360
obstacle and also known as the 
deity or the God of New 

50
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,760
beginnings. 
Individuals often make offerings

51
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,360
to Ganesha at the beginning of 
new endeavours to express 

52
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,680
appreciation and ensure a smooth
path forward. 

53
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,480
Now in the next slide, the Lord 
Ganapathi wields a various 

54
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,240
ritual emblems. 
Sometimes they call it weapons 

55
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,200
and has multiple arms with 
multiple ritual emblems that 

56
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,320
he's holding along with 
different hand mudras or 

57
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,880
gestures. 
Now. 

58
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,000
These ritual emblems are 
associated with his role as the 

59
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,120
removal of obstacles. 
Ganapati is also perpetually in 

60
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:14,720
motion in dancing movements, 
embracing the ebb and flow of 

61
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,040
life. 
As we behold the majesty of 

62
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Ganapati, let's reflect on our 
response to change and how it 

63
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,080
can be perceived as an 
opportunity depending on how we 

64
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,080
look at it. 
So in the Buddhist teaching of 

65
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,600
having pure perception is for 
one's own benefit and leads to 

66
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,720
wisdom and happiness. 
So let's. 

67
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,280
Bring on our. 
Teacher for today, our teacher 

68
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,160
is Kimberly Brown.

71
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:54,840

78
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,080
Kimberly on her website, 
Meditation With. 

79
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,560
Heart.com. 
Kimberly, thank you so much for 

80
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,960
being here and please help me in
welcoming Kimberly Brown. 

81
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:36,160
Hello everyone. 
So you know, usually I just 

82
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,880
start talking, but maybe let's 
take a moment just to notice 

83
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,360
that we're here. 
You could close your eyes and 

84
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,840
you don't have to meditate or 
not meditate. 

85
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,200
If you're here today, it likely 
means you're looking for 

86
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:24,000
something, probably freedom from
suffering and Buddhism. 

87
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,840
We call this dukkha. 
So taking a moment to thank 

88
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:38,920
yourself, you're choosing a 
healing path, a wisdom path, and

89
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,000
bringing your attention back to 
our group for a moment. 

90
00:06:51,920 --> 00:07:00,000
So with this theme of change, 
you know, it's funny. 

91
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Everybody knows the change is 
always happening. 

92
00:07:03,280 --> 00:07:06,480
It's not like I have students 
and they say, no, Kim, things 

93
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,880
aren't changing. 
Everybody says, yeah, I know 

94
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,960
everything changes. 
You know, baby grows to a 

95
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,880
toddler, grows into a person, 
right? 

96
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,240
And yet on some level, we don't 
really know it. 

97
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,840
We really depending what the 
change is. 

98
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,280
We resist it, don't like it. 
It's terrifying, right? 

99
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:34,960
Nobody wants to have a loss. 
So we have this intellectual 

100
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,800
knowledge, but then on a deeper 
level we have this ignorance in 

101
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,240
the tradition. 
This ignorance is the root of a 

102
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,520
lot of suffering. 
Avidia, it's a Sanskrit word for

103
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:51,760
it, Avidia. 
And this is a probably our most 

104
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:58,120
common obstacle, right? 
We're talking about Ganapati and

105
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,720
who's in emanation of Ganesh and
Ganesha is associated with 

106
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,800
removing obstacles. 
Obstacles to what? 

107
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:18,440
Obstacles to what's true. 
Change in permanence, cause and 

108
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,480
effect are real. 
Our actions have outcomes. 

109
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,040
Everybody has suffering, and 
this self that we hold on to so 

110
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:32,000
tightly is actually a very 
dynamic, not so fixed. 

111
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,360
And these obstacles are what 
causes suffering, and they 

112
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,520
prevent us from seeing clearly 
and wisely. 

113
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:50,360
And most importantly, they 
prevent us from accessing our 

114
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,520
inherent clarity and wisdom. 
You'll hear this called Buddha 

115
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,440
nature in the tradition. 
You'll sometimes hear it called 

116
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,480
presence or openness or 
awareness with a capital A. 

117
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,720
Some Tibetan teachers just call 
it mind with a capital M. 

118
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:28,320
And with change, the obstacles 
generally are fear, grasping, 

119
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,160
like I really want that to 
change. 

120
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,840
I want this new job, right? 
This. 

121
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:39,440
That's a desire or clinging. 
There's also delusion when 

122
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,120
change happens, unwanted change 
or wishing. 

123
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:48,680
Wishing is a form of delusion. 
I wish he were less angry. 

124
00:09:50,600 --> 00:10:00,520
We've all had those thoughts. 
So how do we how do we overcome 

125
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,480
obstacles or cut through 
obstacles? 

126
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,420
Now we noticed here Ganesh has 
many arms and many quote UN 

127
00:10:09,420 --> 00:10:16,440
quote weapons in his many hands.
The Buddhist tradition talks 

128
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:24,840
about in the early tradition 
they say 84,000 doors to 

129
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:31,800
awakening, later they say 84,000
teachings to awakening. 

130
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:39,000
And that is pointing at 
everybody's mind is a little 

131
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,040
different. 
So it isn't one-size-fits-all 

132
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:51,840
and there are certain practices 
all of us can use and paths that

133
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:57,640
we can follow to help us. 
I hate the word overcome our 

134
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,120
obstacles, but to see them 
clearly and free them. 

135
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,880
Really, you know, we're not 
going to go in and look at our 

136
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,360
anger and beat it up, try to get
rid of it, fight with it. 

137
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:20,800
Going to experience anger or 
fear in the face of change and 

138
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:28,160
allow it, integrate it, help 
transform it into clarity and 

139
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,000
wisdom. 
And so the path that is most 

140
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,280
common, the bodhisattva path in 
the Mahayana tradition, is the 

141
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:42,280
path of practicing generosity, 
practicing ethical behavior, 

142
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:52,320
patience, diligence, meditation,
and practices of wisdom. 

143
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,520
Diligence is sometimes 
translated as joyful effort. 

144
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:08,080
So using these tools, maybe we 
could call them instead of 

145
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,520
weapons. 
Using these tools, we can start 

146
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:17,040
to 1st notice our obstacles, the
things that prevent us from 

147
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,880
seeing change clearly, the 
things that prevent us see. 

148
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:29,080
Part of what happens with change
is we don't want it so badly 

149
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:35,680
that we can't see any other 
possibility, or we want it so 

150
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:39,120
badly that we can't see other 
possibilities. 

151
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:42,240
This is what Tashi children 
mentioned. 

152
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,720
So how can we let go of that, go
of these obstacles, fear, 

153
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:58,040
desire, delusion, so we can work
within change to see what's 

154
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:03,080
possible and use our efforts in 
ways to benefit and not harm 

155
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:10,680
ourselves and everybody else. 
So let's practice. 

156
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,720
Those of you here in the room, 
you are welcome. 

157
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,040
If you want, we have space on 
the right and in the back. 

158
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,280
You can lie down, grab a couple 
cushions, as many as you'd like,

159
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,880
and make a little nest. 
You can sit as you are. 

160
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,640
You can also do walking 
meditation. 

161
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,960
The same for those of you at 
home. 

162
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:39,440
Pick a posture that feels 
conducive to having some balance

163
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:54,160
of relaxation. 
And effort, tranquil and awake, 

164
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:59,400
the tradition tells us. 
So take a minute to create this 

165
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:08,770
little spot. 
Most importantly, not looking at

166
00:14:08,770 --> 00:14:15,970
devices, giving yourself an 
opportunity just to be with your

167
00:14:15,970 --> 00:14:19,970
own beautiful presence for these
few minutes. 

168
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,440
And choosing to place a hand on 
your heart and a hand on your 

169
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:44,820
belly. 
This reminds you of your own 

170
00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:46,780
presence. 
You are here for you. 

171
00:14:48,860 --> 00:14:55,620
And it brings you closer to your
body, away from your head maybe,

172
00:14:55,740 --> 00:15:00,800
and all the thoughts that are 
swirling, all your plans, all 

173
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:09,720
your memories, ideas, judgments.
See if you can bring that energy

174
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:18,680
down to your heart, to your 
belly, receiving your breath, 

175
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:31,280
receiving sound, receiving the 
sensation of your skin, contact 

176
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:39,200
with your clothing, warmth, 
coolness. 

177
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,520
And gathering all your attention
to the feeling of your breath in

178
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:23,920
your belly or sound entering 
your ears. 

179
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,560
Breath in your belly or sound 
entering your ears. 

180
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:50,520
If you start chasing after a 
thought, a plan, choose to let 

181
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:59,360
go and come back, you're coming 
back to your senses, your 

182
00:16:59,360 --> 00:18:11,800
breath, sound. 
Whatever you're doing right now,

183
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,040
see if you could do a little 
less because right now you're 

184
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,200
just receiving. 
You're experiencing your breath.

185
00:18:21,400 --> 00:20:31,320
You're receiving sound. 
Noticing where you are, if you 

186
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:39,120
need to come back, return. 
Letting go of these obstacles of

187
00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:48,160
mind, coming back. 
And you might know. 

188
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,840
There are so many metaphors in 
Buddhism. 

189
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:56,200
Many are very useful in our 
practice. 

190
00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,960
And perhaps today you can 
consider yourself like a Lotus 

191
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:12,360
flower. 
So this plant, the blossom rides

192
00:21:12,360 --> 00:21:20,680
on top of a pond. 
It's resilient with the wind and

193
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,200
the waves. 
And it's only able to do that 

194
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,640
because it has such a strong 
stem and root system. 

195
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:41,000
I'm so allowing yourself to stay
grounded, to stay rooted in your

196
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,400
body and sensation in this 
moment. 

197
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,680
And calling to your heart, to 
your mind, someone you know 

198
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:36,640
who's struggling, perhaps 
struggling with change, could be

199
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,560
someone you know personally. 
It could be someone you know 

200
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:44,480
from the news. 
And you can connect with them by

201
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,600
feeling their presence, by 
imagining them. 

202
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:03,960
And saying to them, May you be 
open to the unfolding of life. 

203
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,360
May you meet change with wisdom 
and courage. 

204
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,720
May you be open to the unfolding
of life. 

205
00:24:16,360 --> 00:24:19,680
May you meet change with wisdom 
and courage. 

206
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,200
May you be open to the unfolding
of life. 

207
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:32,200
May you meet change with wisdom 
and courage. 

208
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,080
And just taking a moment to 
repeat those phrases, give these

209
00:24:38,080 --> 00:26:02,360
gifts to this struggling person.
May you be open to the unfolding

210
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:06,200
of life. 
May you meet change with wisdom 

211
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:12,920
and courage. 
You can keep in touch with this 

212
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:18,960
being, Know that they're here 
beside you as you connect with 

213
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,000
yourself as well. 
You might imagine yourself as 

214
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,760
you look this morning in the 
mirror. 

215
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,600
You might put your hand on your 
heart and feel your own 

216
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:35,280
beautiful presence and saying to
yourself, May I be open to the 

217
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:41,800
unfolding of life. 
May I meet change with wisdom 

218
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:48,200
and courage. 
May I be open to the unfolding 

219
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:53,080
of life. 
May I meet change with wisdom 

220
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:58,920
and courage. 
May I be open to the unfolding 

221
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,560
of life. 
May I meet change with wisdom 

222
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:09,240
and courage. 
And continuing to repeat these 

223
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:14,520
phrases to yourself like you're 
giving yourself a gift. 

224
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,840
Paying attention. 
Do you need to reconnect? 

225
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,560
May I be open to the unfolding 
of life. 

226
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,440
May I meet change with wisdom 
and courage. 

227
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,720
And just for one more minute, 
saying these phrases to yourself

228
00:29:09,720 --> 00:30:39,840
wholeheartedly. 
Knowing that all of us, all 

229
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:46,320
humans, struggle with these 
obstacles, struggle with 

230
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:52,240
ignorance, vidya offering this 
wisdom to all of us. 

231
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:59,920
May everyone, may we be open to 
the unfolding of life. 

232
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,200
May we meet change with wisdom 
and courage. 

233
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:18,040
You could stop saying the 
phrases, bringing your attention

234
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:26,920
to your Lotus self, your 
resilience and strength, your 

235
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:38,920
beautiful blossoming nature, 
your strong deep roots, thanking

236
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:45,680
yourself and thanking the Reuben
and all of us for creating the 

237
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:52,880
conditions for being here today.
And whenever you're ready, 

238
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:59,200
bringing your attention to our 
group and you can move, you can 

239
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,000
stretch, whatever seems 
appropriate for you right now. 

240
00:32:12,500 --> 00:32:17,540
Thank you so much for that 
beautiful teaching on change. 

241
00:32:18,420 --> 00:32:24,000
I especially like the meeting, 
the change with wisdom and 

242
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,400
courage that is so needed when 
you look around in the world, 

243
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,080
what's happening now and then, 
it's so wonderful. 

244
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:38,280
And always look at, you know, 
gratitude and thankful to this 

245
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,440
beautiful space where we could 
all come together. 

246
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,480
And I always think like, I wish 
more people could benefit and 

247
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,560
more people could, you know, but
thanks to the podcast, so you 

248
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,360

benefited all over the world. 

249
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:59,160
So that gives hope and 
encouragement and inspiration 

250
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,600
that.
