“No, it's perfect. And it's such an important subject. And this subject actually Ripochet has, it's had an immense impact on my own life over the last couple of years. I've been studying this idea of handshake practice a lot. And as you know, I came on a one-week retreat with you very recently in New York State. And I asked you a question about this because I was saying one of the things that was shocking to me was as I was trying to be silent, which it turns out I'm almost incapable of, this will surprise you.”

“So how did you deal with this in your own case if we take this as an example of how to deal with these difficult patterns that we've adopted from early life? What did you do to deal with your own fear that you weren't good enough or that you weren't worthy of this lineage or that you weren't good enough to be your father's success or any, I mean, it just must have been so much pressure. How did you greet and handshake your own fears and overcome them?”

“So these beautiful monsters really are, to use the word you used before schema from Dan's wife Tara. They're like these childhood patterns that we wounded love or the lack of respect that we got or a sense that we were unworthy or fear that we're not good enough. These psychological wounds from childhood, is that right?”

“We'll talk a lot more about this idea of beautiful monsters, which is, can you explain the term now, though, just so that people understand? But we'll come back in great detail to this idea of beautiful monsters. What are they?”

“This is because you are reincarnation of two different Sokni rinpochets, right? There was the first one who'd been born in the 19th century, who was a great figure, and then a second one.”

“So, Rinpoche, when you were, I think, about eight years old, you were in this little village in Nepal where your family was living in the mountains in a remote village in Nepal, and you overheard, I think, your mother and your grandfather saying a letter has arrived. And I think it was news from His Holiness the 16th Kamapa, who was head of one of the four principal orders of Tibetan Buddhism, saying that you were a reincarnated Lama and that you needed to hop into action and come study. Can you tell us what happened there? Because it's a kind of extraordinary story. I mean, it must have turned your life upside down.”

“Just to clarify for people who don't understand the terminology, Rinpoche means precious one, right? Which is an honorific for an important teacher. How would you define Toku?”

“Yeah, and it really is about your ancestors. It's about his teachers and what he learned. So here's his summary of his entire life, which takes up four lines. Says, I was born in central Tibet, taken to Kham, then went back and forth between the two several times. I fled the communists, Tasikim, and finally moved to Nepal, where I am now living as an old man. That's my life in a nutshell. I haven't accomplished any great deeds. Mostly it's just one sad event after another.”

“Yeah, it's funny. I was going to read a paragraph to you from this book that Dan wrote the introduction to, which is your father's memoir. And it's an amazing one paragraph summary of his life by your father that's the most unarrogant, like it's the least prideful description of a life. He says, I was born in central Tevat. He says”

“And Dan, you also knew Tuku Urjen Renpoche very well. You wrote an introduction to a memoir that he wrote and described him in the introduction as among Tibetan Buddhism's greatest masters of the 20th century. I know that you spent many weeks with him and I know this is, I guess he passed This is a long time ago, but I wondered if you could give us a sense of what made him special and also to give us more of a sense of what Sokny Rinpoche just said about the importance of their family, because I think Soknia is being a little bit modest about how eminent this lineage of great meditation teachers really is.”

“Thank you very much. I wanted to start by asking you about your father, Tuku Urjan Rinpoche, because he was obviously a very extraordinary man. I've read a couple of his books, and I wanted to ask you, who was he? What was he like? And why did he have this very profound influence on your life?”

“Emotionally and mentally, because it'll no doubt help us in every area of our lives. So that's really what we're going to discuss today. Rinpoche, it's wonderful to see you. Today is actually my birthday. So speaking with you is my birthday present. So thank you for joining us.”

“Hi folks, it's an honour to be here today with some very special guests. I've been joined here by Soknir Rinpoche, who's one of the greatest Buddhist teachers and meditation masters of our time. And we're also joined by his close friend and my friend Daniel Goleman, who's been a guest on the podcast before. And Dan, as you know, is the author of Emotional Intelligence, which is an iconic book that sold more than 5 million copies. We're also lucky to be joined by Adam Kane, who often helps Rinpoche by translating from Tibetan into English. Rinpoche and Dan have just written a new book with help from Adam. And in the epilogue, they write, our vision with this book is to help create healthy people in every sense, grounded, warm-hearted, clear-minded people who have the energy and natural inclination to help others. A simple slogan captures this vision, grounded body, open heart, clear mind. So I'm sure all of us would love to feel better physically.”

“feeling a lot of restless, speedy, unsettled energy in your mind and body. Rinpoche will also share his instructions for two different types of simple meditation. You'll also hear his wonderfully irreverent mantra, which is, who cares? So what? Whatever happens, happens, whatever doesn't happen, doesn't happen. I try to remind myself of this mantra once in a while when I need to lighten up and take myself a bit less seriously. In any case, I'm really thrilled to be able to bring you this conversation with Sokni Rinpoche and Daniel Goldman, who happened to be staying with each other in America for a few days before Rinpoche flew back to his home in Nepal. Our conversation may not make you richer in the strictly financial sense of the word, but I have high hopes that it's going to make you wiser and happier. Thanks so much for joining us.”

“Blocking them or pushing them away. Rinpoche believes that our beautiful monsters open up and gradually heal when we treat them kindly and don't resist them. I have a post it on the wall of my study at home with a lovely quote from him that says, one day all of our beautiful monsters will trust us and be our friends. I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist, but for me personally, this practice of meeting difficult emotions with awareness and warmth and kindness has just been incredibly helpful. So I really wanted to share it with you too. In this conversation, we'll talk in detail about how to handshake our beautiful monsters. We'll also discuss some other very practical techniques that can help you to become happier, calmer, and more focused. For example, we'll talk about a belly breathing technique that can restore your sense of well-being when you're”

“Painful that happened when we were young. Or maybe we have a deep-seated anxiety that we're somehow inadequate or incapable or unlovable because we felt unappreciated and unloved. Well, we were kids. Sophie Rimpochet has a wonderful phrase to describe these difficult emotional patterns that have been imprinted on us by our formative experiences. He calls them our beautiful monsters. What I love about his approach to dealing with our beautiful monsters is that it's very kind and gentle. Instead of suppressing these challenging emotions or judging them or trying to escape from them, he suggests that we simply say hi to them, smile at them, and allow ourselves to feel them more fully. His term for this strategy is handshak practice because we're greeting these difficult emotions warmly, shaking them by the hand instead of”

“Just returned from a one-week silent meditation retreat with Rinpoche, which is a Tibetan word meaning precious one that's used as a title to honor the most revered teachers. I'm not a very accomplished meditator by any means, and I have to admit I did a terrible job of staying silent during the retreat, which may not surprise you given how much I like to talk. But Rinpoche is a really wonderful teacher and he's had a powerful impact on my life in the last few years. His insights on how to deal with our emotions have been particularly helpful to me. And I must say he's played a major part in helping me to become both calmer and I would say happier. Suddenly Rimshay often talks about the challenging emotional patterns that drive our behavior and make our lives more difficult. For example, we might suffer from an intense fear of criticism or a fear of abandonment because something painful.”

“Hi there, I'm really excited about today's episode of the podcast. My guests are two of the people I admire most in the world. One of them is Daniel Goldman, who's the famous author of a classic book titled Emotional Intelligence. Daniel has a PhD in psychology from Harvard and then spent many years as a science writer for the New York Times. Among other things, he's an expert on the science of meditation and how it can help us to handle our emotions, improve our focus, boost our resilience and think more rationally. He was an extremely popular guest on this podcast a few months ago talking about how emotional intelligence can even help us to become more successful investors. On today's episode, Dan is joined by a legendary Tibetan Buddhist meditation master named Sukni Rinpoche. They've co-authored an excellent new book about the science and practice of meditation. It's titled Why We Meditate. When we recorded this conversation a few months back, I”
