We live in an incredibly busy world. The pace of life is often frantic, our minds are always busy, and were always doing something.

So with that in mind, Id like you just to take a moment to think, when did you last take any time to do nothing? Just 10 minutes, undisturbed? And when I say nothing, I do mean nothing. So thats no emailing, texting, no Inter, no TV, no chatting, no eating, no reading, not even sitting there reminiscing about the past or planning for the future. Simply doing nothing. I see a lot of very blank faces. (Laughter) My thinking is, you probably he to go a long way back.

And this is an extraordinary thing, right? Were talking about our mind. The mind, our most valuable and precious resource, through which we experience every single moment of our life, the mind that we rely upon to be happy, content, emotionally stable as individuals, and at the same time to be kind and thoughtful and considerate in our relationships with others. This is the same mind that we depend upon to be focused, creative, spontaneous, and to perform at our very best in everything that we do. And yet, we dont take any time out to look after it. In fact, we spend more time looking after our cars, our clothes and our hair than we okay, maybe not our hair, but you see where Im going.

The result, of course, is that we get stressed. You know, the mind whizzes away like a washing machine going round and round, lots of difficult, confusing emotions, and we dont really know how to deal with that, and the sad fact is that we are so distracted that were no longer present in the world in which we live. We miss out on the things that are most important to us, and the crazy thing is that everybody just assumes, well, thats the way life is, so weve just kind of got to get on with it. Thats really not how it has to be.

So I was about 11 when I went along to my first meditation class. And trust me, it had all the stereotypes that you can imagine, the sitting cross-legged on the floor, the incense, the herbal tea, the vegetarians, the whole deal, but my mom was going and I was intrigued, so I went along with her. Id also seen a few kung fu movies, and secretly I kind of thought I might be able to learn how to fly, but I was very young at the time. Now as I was there, I guess, like a lot of people, I assumed that it was just an aspirin for the mind. You get stressed, you do some meditation. I hadnt really thought that it could be sort of preventative in nature, until I was about 20, when a number of things happened in my life in quite quick succession, really serious things which just flipped my life upside down and all of a sudden I was inundated with thoughts, inundated with difficult emotions that I didnt know how to cope with. Every time I sort of pushed one down, another one would just sort of pop back up again. It was a really very stressful time.

I guess we all deal with stress in different ways. Some people will bury themselves in work, grateful for the distraction. Others will turn to their friends, their family, looking for support. Some people hit the bottle, start taking medication. My own way of dealing with it was to bee a monk. So I quit my degree, I headed off to the Himalayas, I became a monk, and I started studying meditation.

People often ask me what I learned from that time. Well, obviously it changed things. Lets face it, being a celibate monk is going to change a number of things. But it was more than that. It taught me -- it ge me a greater appreciation, an understanding for the present moment. By that I mean not being lost in thought, not being distracted, not being overwhelmed by difficult emotions, but instead learning how to be in the here and now, how to be mindful, how to be present.

I think the present moment is so underrated. It sounds so ordinary, and yet we spend so little time in the present moment that its anything but ordinary. There was a research paper that came out of Harvard, just recently, that said on erage our minds are lost in thought almost 47 percent of the time. Forty-seven percent. At the same time, this sort of constant mind-wandering is also a direct cause of unhappiness. Now were not here for that long anyway, but to spend almost half of our life lost in thought and potentially quite unhappy, dunno, it just kind of seems tragic, actually, especially when theres something we can do about it, when theres a positive, practical, achievable, scientifically proven technique which allows our mind to be more healthy, to be more mindful and less distracted. And the beauty of it is that even though it need only take about 10 minutes a day, it impacts our entire life. But we need to know how to do it. We need an exercise. We need a framework to learn how to be more mindful. Thats essentially what meditation is. Its familiarizing ourselves with the present moment. But we also need to know how to approach it in the right way to get the best from it. And thats what these are for, in case youve been wondering, because most people assume that meditation is all about stopping thoughts, getting rid of emotions, somehow controlling the mind, but actually its quite different from that. Its more about stepping back, seeing the thought clearly, witnessing it ing and going, emotions ing and going without judgment, but with a relaxed, focused mind.

So for example, right now, if I focus too much on the balls, then theres no way that I can relax and talk to you at the same time. Equally, if I relax too much talking to you, then theres no way I can focus on the balls. Im going to drop them. Now in life, and in meditation, therell be times when the focus bees a little bit too intense, and life starts to feel a bit like this. Its a very unfortable way to live life, when you get this tight and stressed. At other times, we might take our foot off the gas a little bit too much, and things just bee a sort of little bit like this. Of course in meditation (Snores) were going to end up falling asleep. So were looking for a balance, a focused relaxation where we can allow thoughts to e and go without all the usual involvement.

Now, what usually happens when were learning to be mindful is that we get distracted by a thought. Lets say this is an anxious thought. So everythings going fine, and then we see the anxious thought, and its like, Oh, didnt realize I was worried about that. You go back to it, repeat it. Oh, I am worried. Oh, I really am worried. Wow, theres so much anxiety. And before we know it, right, were anxious about feeling anxious. You know, this is crazy. We do this all the time, even on an everyday level. If you think about the last time, I dunno, you had a wobbly tooth. You know its wobbly, and you know that it hurts. But what do you do every 20, 30 seconds? (Mumbling) It does hurt. And we reinforce the storyline, right? And we just keep telling ourselves, and we do it all the time. And its only in learning to watch the mind in this way that we can start to let go of those storylines and patterns of mind. But when you sit down and you watch the mind in this way, you might see many different patterns. You might find a mind thats really restless and -- the whole time. Dont be surprised if you feel a bit agitated in your body when you sit down to do nothing and your mind feels like that. You might find a mind thats very dull and boring, and its just, almost mechanical, it just seems its as if youre getting up, going to work, eat, sleep, get up, work. Or it might just be that one little nagging thought that just goes round and round and round your mind. Well, whatever it is, meditation offers the opportunity, the potential to step back and to get a different perspective, to see that things arent always as they appear. We cant change every little thing that happens to us in life, but we can change the way that we experience it. Thats the potential of meditation, of mindfulness. You dont he to burn any incense, and you definitely dont he to sit on the floor. All you need to do is to take 10 minutes out a day to step back, to familiarize yourself with the present moment so that you get to experience a greater sense of focus, calm and clarity in your life.

Thank you very much. (Applause)

记住这点的同时，我希望你们能拿出一小会儿时间，来想想，上一次自己什么都不做是什么时候? 仅仅10分钟，毫无干扰地? 当我说什么都不做，就是什么都不做。没有电子邮件、短信，没有互联网，没有电视、聊天、食物、阅读，甚至不包括坐着回想过去或者思考将来。只是什么都不做。我看到你们中很多茫然的脸。(笑声) 我的想法是，你们很可能要往后退很大一步。

而这是一件很离奇的事情，对吧? 我们说的是我们的大脑(心灵)。大脑(心灵)，对我们来说最珍贵的东西，我们通过它来体验生活中的每一个时刻，全靠它(心灵) 我们作为一个个体，能感到幸福、满足、情感稳定，同时在我们与他人的关系中变得善良与体贴。靠着这个大脑(心灵) 我们能够专注、有创意、自觉，并在我们做的所有事情中发挥自己的才能。然而，我们没有花哪怕一点时间来关心它。事实上，相较而言，我们更关心自己的汽车衣服和头发的时间都要更多 ---好吧，也许不包括我们的头发，但你们懂我想要说的。
