Happiness is all in your mind: Gen Kelsang Nyema at TEDxGreenville 2014


Simple, profound truths are the realm of this Buddhist nun. Her message? The gift of happiness truly lies within our own hearts and minds. Gen Kelsang Nyema, exuding a peacefulness that immediately connects with the audience, starts by asking three questions: Are you having a good day? Why? Tomorrow, would you rather have a good day or a bad day? She teaches that we cannot put our happiness at the whim of other people and of circumstances. If we want to be happy, we have to «stop outsourcing our happiness to other people» and cultivate a source of inner peace. What happens next is quite astounding. The whole crowd of 350 people proceeds to meditate with Nyema. Theres a little squirming at first, but as she leads the audience through a calm citation of how to rest the mind, audience members feel a collective relaxation flow into the room and through the people. Fascinating! Refreshing.

This talk was part of TEDxGreenville UNZIPPED, held April 11, 2014, at the Kroc Center in Greenville, South Carolina. For more information about Gen Nyema and her co-presenters, please visit tedxgreenville.com/2014presenters

Хулиганы спасут мир | Лариса Афанасьева | TEDxSadovoeRing


Кто такие хулиганы? Хулиганы — это люди, которые не готовы сидеть смирно и быть послушными, и поэтому их постоянно пытаются пожурить и обуздать. Многие поддаются и становятся “удобными”, и лишь малая часть остается верна своей бунтарской энергии.
Этой неуемной, взрывной, мощной энергии обычно очень много в, так называемых, “трудных подростках” — а значит, именно этот возраст особенно неудобен взрослым «дядям и тетям». Но Лариса Афанасьева уверена, что это самая важная сила — не соглашаться с привычным и задавать вопросы миру. Ведь именно бунтари, в итоге, создают так много важных вещей и именно они способы спасти наш мир.
Лариса Афанасьева – режиссер и художественный руководитель цирка «Упсала», в котором участвуют дети из групп социального риска. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
