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

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. There’s 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

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

  4. The moment you wish for things to be different than they are, it is like releasing a toxin far more deadly than cyanide.

  6. This nun is a part of the The New Kadampa 'Tradition'. This is a new Buddhist group that are only allowed to read the books of one teacher. Their teacher was the main force behind the protests on the Dalai Lama and by consequence the Tibetan community in exile. They never meet their 'guru'. No one knows where he is or how he is doing. There is a growing number of people who call themselves Kadampa Survivors. People who have lived and worked in the NKT and for many reasons have been left out to dry. This new group do not open dialogue with the survivors they attack them. For example: Dr Michelle Haslam left the NKT and started to raise awareness of Thier conduct so they wrote to her boss and lost her her job and attacked her credibility by putting up a whole website dedicated to undermining her. This was taken down after an international cult hunter, Bee Scofield did an article on the NKT and what they had done.
    TED really need to think about the kind of people they give a platform too. This group is also under constant scrutiny from INFORM. Reuters did an article claiming that the Dalai Lama protests were also connected to China.
    Be careful people.

  33. The real prison we live in is the prison of letting others control our freedom and happiness…I can't do this because of what others may think or say about me. I can't do that because I might upset someone…Break free from the shackles of others opinions of you …It's not easy to do, we are programmed from birth to conform to other peoples rules and expectations.
