Google Tech Talk January 28, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Shinzen Young. The purpose of this talk is threefold: (1) to describe how senior adepts use mindfulness to reduce suffering and gain insight into selfhood and emotions. (2) To point out how the method they use in many ways parallels what scientists do when confronted with a complex and inscrutable system in nature. (3) To discuss how this fundamental parallelism between the two endeavors can become the basis for a productive collaboration in the future. Bio: Shinzen Young became fascinated with Asian culture while a teenager in Los Angeles. Later he enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Buddhist Studies at the University of Wisconsin. Eventually, he went to Asia and did extensive training in each of the three major Buddhist meditative traditions: Vajrayana, Zen, and Vipassana. Upon returning to the United States, his intellectual interests shifted to the burgeoning dialogue between Eastern internal science and Western technological science. In recognition of his original contributions to that dialogue, the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology has awarded him an honorary doctorate. Shinzen’s innovative techniques for pain management derived from two sources: The first is his personal experience dealing with discomfort during intense periods of meditation in Asia, and during shamanic ceremonies with tribal cultures. The second is some three decades of experience in coaching people through a wide spectrum of chronic and …

ERROR: The interactive transcript is really cool, I think theres an error though,24:49 “we`ve dreamed sleep” I think he says, “we have dreamless sleep” Meaning, sometimes we have sleep thats dreamless, and then we arent conscious. Not sure of course, but, thats what I think. could ask him.

Shinzen Young is a fantastic teacher. He makes what was previously difficult and complex simple and easy to understand. His one hour in depth free interview at Ask Integral Experts is an amazing and fun journey filled with insight and practical applications of the Science Of Enlightenement. Awesome!
good stuff son….one of the best talks i’ve heard…i was a zen monk (since ’65) of the “idiot” school….but it still worked.—–my 1st distraction was; “where the breath intake goes as it gets absorbed into the lungs and what it looks like if the breath could see””

This is so radical. It is an incredible idea. It would be the greatest event in human history – no question. Shinzen is a great master and I think his message is going to get through. I am certainly going to spread this idea. Awesome and inspiring.
I loved this lecture. A great man, mr Young.
I love this, and I hope he can get the funding. Who will research a method for reaching a mental state that is fundamentally opposed to our consumerism?
I am curious to know why there were so few people in the audience. Was this due to a lack of interest, or perhaps some other reason?
I would have hoped that more Googlers would be interested in hacking their wet-ware.
base sound is too low on this video.
That was a very exciting and interesting talk. I enjoyed his choice of analogies, quite appropriate. Gotta check out this Mindfulness…
an excellentm, clear and vivid talk about mindfulness practice. Thanks very much to Shinzen and GoogleTechTalks.
my original teacher–great to see the dharma as taught then and now by one of our great western teachers…..
Shinzen makes mindfulness meditation accessible to the most skeptical agnostic who might eschew all organized religions. Shinzen’s methodology is so precise and scientific in the truest sense, that anyone can practice and enjoy the benefits of mindfulness meditation.
“A ha! experiences”, that’s really interesting. I get those in my dreams. I feel Shinzen understands me, he’s very good.
I’m a techtalk-subscriber because I’m a IT-Student and a Tech-Geek. This Video has been the most inspiring one I’ve seen on the channel. When a Meditation Teacher talks about functions of time and vectors it really wipes away scepticism. I wish his books and audio-books were translated to more languages.
Indeed…huge thanks to Google for these videos. Some very intelligent people sharing knowledge accumulated over a life time….what more can a seeker ask?
awesome! Shinzen is the best meditation teacher i’ve encountered so far. his very lucid and scientific approach to meditation really takes the mist out of mysticism
Thank you Google for providing this high qualitiy knowledge for free. Keep up the good work !!
Greetings from Germany.
