马修李卡德法师的快乐讲座

jiesi123

法国僧人马修李卡德（Matthieu Ricard）以自己的个人经验和理性分析教导人们如何修炼幸福。他年轻时才华横溢，是法国巴斯特学院分子生物学博士，追随获诺贝尔医学奖的导师从事生物基因族谱的研究。但在26岁时，他骤然发现拥有各种艺术和才华并不能带给他满足，而成为一个关怀，启发和改变别人的人才是他来到这个世界的终极目标，因此远赴喜马拉雅山追随西藏上师学习佛教，并找到快乐。

以下是马修李卡德法师的其中一个演讲，对我有很大的启发，真正的快乐从内求，静坐能安心。请注意法师所拍摄的有关西藏、佛法的照片，您会从中得到感动。

If happiness is an inner state, influenced by external conditions but not dependent on them, how can we achieve it? Ricard examine the inner and outer factors that increase or diminish our sense of well-being, dissect the underlying mechanisms of happiness, and lead us to a way of looking at the mind itself based on his book, Happiness: A Guide to Life's Most Important Skill and from the research in neuroscience on the effect of mind-training on the brain.

Speaker Bio: Matthieu Ricard, a gifted scientist turned Buddhist monk, is a best selling author, translator, and photographer. He has lived and studied in the Himalayas for the last 35 years where he currently works on humanitarian projects. He is an active participant in the current scientific research on meditation and the brain.
