As a psychotherapist, I can relate to his thoughts. Too many people living in their heads, too many theories, so less practice, disconnecting body or using it as a mechanical and performative tool. Such a simple, concrete and powerful ted talk ❤

This man is an amazing teacher. From ways of the warrior to spiritual guidance and self discipline. Every word this man speaks is priceless wisdom 👏

"Knowledge without practice is just book Knowledge' 👏👏

1. His voice is really calming and captivating 2. The things we must all contend with are "choice", and the "consequences" of them 3. Mental strength gets you through, so it's worth investing in. Resilience. 4. Physical activity can build mental resilience and impact a kind of wisdom.

His first Ted Talk literally changed my life. This one has refreshed and renewed my perspective for sure!

This one left a different feeling, compared to the first talk. I don't know if Master Shi reads any comments, probably not, cause there are too many... But I'd like to thank him for the talk he gave us. This was a great talk, and he is a great speaker. I'm just a guy from Russia, but I'd also like to further share what I think on the matter of the missing link. Care and discipline take a lot of energy. I've been feeling lately, that our energy is only that much, for every one of those 8 billion human beings. Each is given their own natural amount of daily/weekly/monthly/yearly energy. Then we have the mentioned choice. It is also my observation, that we don't always realize the total expenditure and where exactly does it go. How much of that energy is taken by what we do over the day? It's not easy to track, since we are talking about psychic energy, not physical. If you are out of physical energy, you muscles can not move. If you are out of psychic energy, you thoughts can not move and you are left with your default state. Which may happen to be... Depression. Or apathy. Depending on how you were brought up and how much of that sweet care you've received. Meditation and physical excersize may (and will) help you change the default state and give you a solid ground for your life. But. If you find energy for meditation and excercize. If you struggle to find it, then maybe you have already exchanged that energy for something else. Maybe something you don't actually need? Maybe. Just maybe, it so happened that you'd been shown ways to trade your energy, that are far away from being optimal or even useful to you? It is not your fault, but it is now your responsibility to notice this kind of thing, since you do already own your life, even if you do not fully accept this fact yet.

Only through the spiritual life can we achieve intelligence... love and light makes you smarter... and stronger...

I love his Truth, as he lives it, speaks it, and exemplifies it in his entire being. He is totally inspirational for our world on every level, this is clear!

"The most beautiful people we know are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, and have found their way out of the depths. They have a understanding of life that fills them with compassion. Beautiful people don't just happen, they're created through hardship."

Deepest thougt provoking Truth ever... Physicality!!!! The body when active will teach the fragile mind to put down the thoughts of I cant Do It ... The Body temple is the key. And I've been a victim of my mind over my body for years now. Thanks Shi Heng and Shaolin for the Push. He's right how many lives change by watching motivational podcats... I will be back to post my rediscovery and words of encouragement to others. Practice

I agree with his arguments about depression to an extent. The increase of individualism is also another contributing factor. When our brain's wiring is incompatible with society, a brain that thrives on connections and community, the side effects are anxiety and depression.

Much simpler than the first Tedx talk. I think in the intervening years it’s just become so abundantly clear that the hallmark of modern society is now the glorification of weakness and uselessness, so 师傅 just gets straight to the point now. Great talk.

Very inspirational. I have signed up for the self mastery program. I am looking forward to learn and gain some wisdom from you.🙏

This man has gone through god knows what kind of hard work.... Just look at his hands.... This man has gone through alot.... Respect for this guy

Brilliant MashaAllah

Your words has made a strong impact on me two years ago, I have started new journey of transforming myself , its a life time journey,I am so thankful for everything. I love what you do, all of you. Bless you.

Wow, short, sweet, & to the point, most motivating, & inspirational, words of wisdom that moved me! Shifu, what a privilege for us your public--glad you're in the world for us to hear & see--and the world is better for it.

Thank you for the important life lesson ❤❤

Even the last sentence "Nice evening!!" shows how present he is ,living in only the moment!!

Thank you Shifu! I learn a lot listening to you. And I feel myself in a higher vibration, so it's not only about knowledge. Thank you!

Great speech. After I came across Shi Heng Yi's Videos almost 3 years ago I started practicing the Ba Duan Jin (8 Brocades Exercise) daily at home and it helped me to balance physically and mentally, change parts of my life, helped as a routine through tough times, strengthened me during good times. And it activated anchient wisdom, which is stored in our bodies. A few months ago I stopped with this exercise. I had to and wanted to adjust my routine, because of body issues and because my body asked me to activate a different kind of energy. So I switched to something totally different - succesfully. It now slowly came to an end. And for 2 days ago I kept hearing "Ba Duan Jin" first thing after waking up. So I started again with great joy and kept some of the routine from the past months 😀 What a treat. I love the intelligence of our bodies ❤️

This guy is as awesome as his forearms 💪🏽

ShiFu Hengyi's virtue teachings and his wonderful performances, in order to encourage the public to bring physical activities instead of talking. Create our good lifestyles and affect to our surroundings. No conflicts, peace, unite and bring to the Harmany. With greatest respect to him, he is blessed with everything 🐉💪🙏

I decided today that i would get myself out of bed early and start taking walks, just by myself, to regain the stamina i have lost as of late. It felt great to get outside and move the body. I got to spend time with myself and really accept & cherish the things i value, and make a change to self-improve. I know what i want, and as long as there is time, will keep heading towards it. Lovely to listen to honest and open perspectives like his talks.

Love Master Shi Heng Yi! Wise beyond his years and so good at teaching and helping me understand. And let’s not forget about that sense of humor ! 😍🙏🏼

I aspire to find my own truth and discipline and wisdom like this man. I appreciate how he gets straight to the point about doing the actual thing, not just thinking about it. Action is required to make any change. Thank you Shi Heng Yi. Hopefully I can apply this knowledge you shared with action.

Although spoken to thousands (maybe millions) this talk felt different. You seemed much more at ease and very much yourself. I'm glad you got the chance to share the message. Very much needed in our sick world.

I have so much love and respect for this man 🙏🏼❤️

Hello. I want to let you know you are one of my mentors. Im learning and practicing your teachings,Is a blessing in my life to learn from you, to find my self, to master my self day by day!. Thank you sooo much for sharing with compassion and love .

As usually it's very helpful video. Venerable Shi Heng Yi is Great monk! Cheers and all the best!

What an incredible talk. So much truth and power. Much respect and gratitude to Master Shi Heng Yi for sharing this message.

Just wanted to say, thanks for your talk. I kind of got the same sense of thoughts from Goggins as well. Yes indeed, your contents affected me positively always.

I haven't seen his first talk, but I do know it's a rare feeling that someone deeply believes in what they're saying, and that's exactly how it felt listening to him.

I can see the level of faith and confidence in his eyes, in front of thousands people... tough man.

Hello, I am here because I had a lot of nervous energy today and it led me to practice Qi Gong. I have been learning about Buddhism and meditation for many years. I am considering to join their self-mastery program, I feel this type of training is the next step for me. Thank you.

You know when you know. I like his humility and honesty and in the way he takes his time to express himself. There's a calmness about him. He's a simple man, but not an ordinary man. This is the type of person, people listen to. Thank you Master Shi Heng Yi.

Thank you. I am grateful to have heard this today. I've lost myself for a while. This video has made me awaken to me. Also I had stopped practicing my forms years ago and my muscle lost it's memory. I am determined to get me back and away from the abyss of non-movement and continuous thought. It's time to head back to lot's of movement and less thought. 🤗

Wow, I'm really glad I came across this...very good teaching, Thank you.

I been watching motivational videos since 2012, took me 10 years of research to find out you have to literally reprogram your subconscious brain or you’ll never change..I been doing it for the past 4 months, hope it works..this is awesome, learning the teachings of other cultures strengthen your being also.

The world needs this man. Thank you shi heng yi for your wisdom. I get fired up everytime I hear him speak about things. Society is weak. 100% I agree. The take away, get physical, move your body, puts you in tune with yourself, relieves tension in the body (movement does), so many benefits. Then I think about where all this is coming from, how old is the shaolin temple? These teachings are not new, they are old but they are the way. There may be different ways to achieve the same discipline in different cultures yes, results are the same. Great video again.

Toller Auftritt! Grüße aus Berlin! 😃

Greetings from Montenegro After relocation from Russia i started interesting in Eastern culture and it’s so cool! It makes me stronger (thanks to buddhism), it improves my brain (thank to videos like this one and learning Japanese and their culture in general), it gets better my health (thanks to Chinese tea and Qigong techniques) and that’s not everything i mentioned but i don’t feel alone anymore. I’m looking for job in analytics and feel no one will be able to stop me on my way, but two years ago i hadn’t such strong confidence. Thank you 🎉 Best wishes, Anton

My massage , never underestimate the energy of prayer. For people chosen by God , the power of prayer energy is able to create changes and effects ( consequences ) in the world and in the universe.

He is authentic. Respect 🙏

Thank you Shifu ..second Ted Talk message was great again.Thank you sharing with us.Proud to be your student and folouw your teachings Self mastery with Shaolin online self mastery is also a great way for many to join.Keep up the light and stay safe.

He's so eloquent and knows how to pass across information.

Excellent, concise, to the point, he practices what he preaches, he knows of what he teaches. Thank you Shi Heng Yi

Absolutely amazing. It’s a mystery to me why the Asian civilization never conquered the world because these people are so far ahead of everyone else by a long shot. They have a calm, confident, inner peace, but at the same time they have a very powerful presence about themselves. Everything that they do, they eat, they think, they practice, all has purpose. And the purpose is self development, what a remarkable man this gentleman is. We can learn so much from him.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom. Always grateful for your love and action.

What a powerful presentation! Shifu, you are a speaker, + your words do take a life of their own.

Lots of love, health and happiness to master Shi Heng Yi! ❤️🙏🏻

"Doing cool stuff, that looks nice..." Lmao. All joking aside, this is a good lesson. "Fulfilment of desire is of personal value. Fulfilment of vision is of global value." That's such a great perspective.

I’ve learned a lot from experience and teachers in my life. Now I have a few more pieces of wisdom… that I had not yet connected to. Thank you very much. Many blessings.

Amen my brother 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️🌎🌎🌎 Knowledge and wisdom for the world Love this man purely Thank you for all your videos I have watched to learn from you great knowledge man!!! ❤❤❤

Love this. Beautiful positive wave you are sending around sharing this! Appreciate you guys!

Inspirational talk. I spent 14 years in China teaching ESL. I took Tai Chi lessons for two hours, three times a week for 6 months In China. When you are strong and have good balance you can neutralize anyone in a confrontation. You can defend yourself with out being overly aggressive. Now, at 71, my goal is 6 reps with 225 lbs in the bench press. I have already done 4, just need to keep at it. All things are possible through Christ who strengthens me. Never have a girlfriend in China with a girl who's brother gives lessons at the Shaolin Temple. Just some advice, word to the wise...:) God bless and Jesus is real.

SuperBrawoDobrze powiedziane. Musimy wiecej sie ruszac. Z mojego doswiadczenia nawet podczas nauki jak sie troche poruszam w miedzy czasie to pozwala mi sie zrelaksowac i skupic na nauce a nie mam adhd😉

this is one of the best talk I have ever seen in TEDx ..

I do agree that physicality helps things like depression.

In most long presentations, I always try to force myself to finish through to the end. It was the opposite in this case. I had some things to do but I couldn't stop listening to such a great talk.

strength, grace, and brilliancy, that is what he embodies.💪💪💪

I always learn good things from Master Shi Heng Yi. Thank you! 🙏🏼

Great job, Master Shi Heng Yi! Thank you deeply for your deep wisdom & courage.

This is very interesting topic. I think that the real reason we are experiencing stress and many other modern issues with our body and mind, it all happens because we are breaking millennial habits. We used to do all by hand, but in the last 50 years or so, we built so many machines that help us avoid hard and dangerous tasks, which is a good thing, isn't it? Now, how to deal with such a turn, from doing all by hand to do almost everything by a computer? Easy, we must realize we are entering a new era and evolve in such a way that our body will no longer suffer by standing still or simply not moving for hours. It simply needs time, l think not all there is is good, many aspect must be changed like too many hours of work or tasks that we do not like doing, but that too will change. It is all a matter of time.

You are a wise and alone voice to hear is power and healing for me, like you I would also like to build myself up, as well as I bring myself back into this world. With light food, cold therapy, fasting, grounding, walking barefoot, just getting out of purity into the light, that's the only way to get ahead. I thank you for your wisdom and tasks I will follow on my way 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🧘‍♀️🧘‍♀️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️❤️❤️ Cont 🕊️🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

Brilliant man i watch you all the time and everything you say makes perfect sense I live by a lot you teach witch I have for so many years without relishing it was a system so I understand all of your videos thank you sir

Fantastic talk i learn lots because we are human we are do anything in our life but we are not understand perfectly our potential hence doubt more our self but today say our self daily i am powerful and work on our personality. Thanks

I don't know when this TEDx took place, but I very much thank you Shifu Shi Heng Yi for talking to my country fellows. We already forget what a poet from Transylvania wrote, in the 19 century: George Cosbuc: "viata asta-i luptã grea, Sã aibã tot pe neluptat cei lasi at vrea." On the other hand, we knew our ancestors, Dacians, were good fighters. As well as the Roman legions, they had much physical activity. Many Dacians were enrolled in the Roman legions, or were forced to enrol, after the death of Decebal (he wasn't depressed, but only aware of his future "possibilities", "chances", and took the chance to die as a free King). Today many young Romanian males enrol in the "Légion etrangère". This is hard to succeed, but if one is successful they can learn many useful things. Every "legionnaire" can relate on his training and his fellows, as the "Seals" in American army. In the Spartan army, the shield was very important, not only to protect oneself, but especially to protect one's fellows fighters. "Each one for himself and God for all" is the nowadays Motto. (The 3 Musketeers were merely saying one for all and all for one, but this is what it was). However, the strength from each of us can help the collective! A Romanian say is: "Omul sfinteste locul". We must remember it! "Ubi bene ibi Patria!" But "Fie pâinea cât de rea, tot mai bunã-i când o stiu din tzara mea". Wherever we are living, we always should consider to make proud our parents and ancestors. Respecting ourselves, doing the best possible in our workplace and life, will force the respect of others. I know what you'll answer: "westerners are trying and succeeding to exploit us. Yes. I live this every day. But I'll never forget where I am from, respect the laws and try to do the best, even if it really hurts. And always saying proudly that I am from my country, but living among a "sneaky", "unfriendly" population. The entering the francofolie and eurounion made people run away, because "the power" was "obliged" to "sold" everybody's job for nothing. Don't sold your soul in addition to that, like Faust! "Every country has the history it deserves" one said (don't remember who!). Don't blame the Russians, every country in Europe had "the chance" to confront with its powerful or less powerful neighbours! But many, working hard, overcome the difficulties and become successful. Perhaps their kings were less selfish and more trustworthy. Some become powerful by being sneaky, I am thinking about some still powerful colonial countries (guess which are they?). "Fortuna audaciis adjuvant!" (the chance is helping the brave ones!) Physical activity and knowing oneself is the best way to cope with the difficult moments in life! Shaolin philosophy is right. You are so wise, Shifu!

Thank you, master Shi Heng Yi!

Amazing Thankyou for your humble grace is action and talk xx🙏🏽🦋

His apperance and the way he talks makes him very authentic, all he said make sense and he should be seen more in public

It is a PRIVILEG to listen to YOU. Тhank you so much for your online presence.

You are a gift to this world, thank you Shifu 🍃🤍🙏

I wish the people who need this listened to him. He is inspirational and I love his thinking. I pratice Tai Chi goes along the same line of compassion, look inside yourself, strength, patience, and of course praticetheTai Chi for strength inner and physical.

Look how peace he is fully intuned with surroundings the shaolin are amazing top tier martial artist and teachers .

Soo right and presented in a very understandable way! Highest respect to you, Shīfu !!

I love Kung-fu and it's spirit💪

Wonderful. You can never expere your full you if you never went for your limits. The limit is the place of development. No matter what kind of limit. It can be painnas shown. Butnit will teach you to hold on, accept and endure.

I'm so ecstatic that i heard him i really wanted to hear this speech 🙏

great speech with visual examples. underlines the path that everyone can recognize and walk for themselves. in every crisis there is an opportunity. in every stone that you or others put in your way hides growth in the heart. you can trust to go further. light does not recognize itself in light. light recognizes itself in shadows and may be solved. when you're ready. a good motivation. heartfelt thanks 🤍🪶

"We need to make us stronger again" Thank you for a nice speech teacher.

Having studied kung fu myself. I would be willing to bet he put dit da jow on his hands. Its incredible stuff able to relieve muscle pain, muscle strain, and even torn ligaments. I was skeptical at first when my Sifu showed me first hands its ability. I absolutely love hearing a well spoken kung fu master talk. I remember a story my Sifu told me about monks at temple who would occationally be sent young children to be taught to be men. This father sends his son to learn and for the next 2 years the master teaches the son to smack a bowel of water with a open palm. He returns home from the temple and his father asked him what he learned. He said I did nothing but smack water all day. His father laughed and told him that he must have not been paying attention and he wasted his time yet again. The son in anger stood up and smacked the open table, splitting it in half. The lesson is that you may find kung fu in all forms of life. If you spend years slapping water and it translates to good form able to split tables if you nurture your time with practice. Thank you for this great video from a true master.

Muito obrigada mestre.você é sábio.

Hello master, thanks for sharing your ideas about some missing links like CARE , everything turn important if we care. Our body needs physical exercise. We can link this to the many problems in our teenagers, who are lacking of physical exercise. Let’s help them to get rid of the the problematic of depression doing more physical exercise . Thank you.

A great Máster! I dare to say that HIS SEEDS HAVE BEEN PLANTED in those who are open to this philosophy. I really appreciate his transmission!

Absolutly beautiful powerful and life changing 🙏🏻✨❤️

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 02:16 💡 The key starting point is to own your life and recognize that you need to be present in your own life, as your future, business, and relationships depend on your presence. 03:58 🤔 Care is a missing link. Care for yourself, your health, and your relationships is crucial. You must know how to care for something or someone to make a positive impact. 05:13 ✨ Start by being the representative of what you want to see in the world. If you want to make a difference, show it through your actions and attitude. Theory alone is not enough; you need to practice what you preach. 12:00 💪 Physical training and practice are essential for developing a strong mindset. Facing suffering, overcoming it, and building resilience are vital aspects of personal growth. Made with HARPA AI

Very inspiring! Thank you! 💞

Very Powerful and deep. Now, let's put it in practice. 🙏

I never heard such an awesome speech like this before.

I cried during the 17 minute mark, he is spot on and we just ignore ourself.

Great talk, inspiring, informative and motivating.

Like to listen to this Guy. Wise and calm all the Time.👍

Gracias por hacer conocer al mundo en sus conferencias la vida monástica 🙏🌎👍🧡

Understanding comes in levels. You can be very vaguely aware, folks call this instinct. You have quite a few levels. For instance, you can be aware enough to communicate the idea to another, or a level where you can instruct another, yet there is a level where you can change the concept, as you will. My point is, you said “how many changed?” My answer is “all of them based on their level of awareness.”

5:38 he knows and his wisdom is growing still

The best way of understanding a book, isn’t to take notes or highlight the best quotes, you don’t need that if you apply that knowledge to your life daily.

lots of words in few words master🙏
