All language subtitles for Eckhart Tolle,Dalai Lama,Desmond Tutu & authors. - Educating the Heart and Mind-Creativity

it now gives me a great deal of pleasure

to introduce the panel and of course

his holiness the dalai llama

so good morning everyone and we have
them wonderful

creative challenge that is to

have to pander to 10 in one hour that
mean

head on the Tampa right that lined up
and then we left half and half the speed

of light

from compact so

we have to be very creative that's for
sure funar

up and it is about creativity and we'll
hear various

aspect of creativity. and see them
believing

Tibetan language days they were that the
first two

creativity that comes out of
investigation

a in bed into once mine creative
thinking

but def so many other aspect of
creativity in science in hot

meditation in neurosciences education

that the Raps is honest would like to

I ask our but leaks to expressed a few
aspect

the Western aspect of creativity. before
calling upon you

so we have a wonderful array of
participants

professor move again man at received
another price of physics

in 1969 he works now at the Center for
Institute

hand is emeritus professor at the
prestigious Cannes Dec

California Institute of Technology and
he is among many other things the one

with discovered

the squawk ansel then

advance ego

is a tad this and then what winning
educator

director of the mine site Institute and
his forthcoming book

is about mine site how to develop inside

and compassion pick up Tony

as you know in the form presentations

the cesspit a teacher out of the

wonderful book of power Knoll now I'm in
you

and is quite remarkable that such an
individualistic society

millions of people have attempted not to
identify

that legal thanks to him

and the room and

two of them here house for their fuel
red and gray man and all

I think yes thing

a good deal of her what they were and
what they represent I don't need to

introduce them in detail

except that they have been performing to
art I

the state's and but specially

davno involved in education toda

room and creativity centre and early

childhood program in the yard

self can Robinson is a worldwide leading

educator and development of creativity
innovation

he works with various governments and is
professor of education at while week

in UK so he's acting far

and then is gonna miss the committee

so it is we have to travel at the speed
of light i think is

proper to begin with day number five for
physics

and it is possible that process again my
nice

also speak this is just a few hours
about rugby by the way

it's up to you though the great

museum curator wanted to the Laker want
it does also

busy as the rugby player and he compared
a

a modern art to the invention that the
game

rugby which happened one day in the
early in the nineteenth century

where the Rugby School a soccer player

picked up the ball and ran with it with
the five

disregard for the rules thereby

founding the new game rugby and he
pointed out that in modern art

you don't play by the rules you play
with the rules and %uh that

effective for creativity %uh often that
happens

that a well but safer that and
theoretical science which is

can thing I've done mostly by Lloyd a

most to the challenges the scientific
orthodoxy are not right and many in the

mcrae

but every once in awhile scientific
orthodoxy is wrong a thumbs up

they wanted to challenge and

a the

conventions in such a case a that you
must

think the following way: it's bad if you
think that way your papers will be

published you will get the job done so
on and so forth

the only problem is that in the cases
i'm talking about. thinking that way is

actually right

though you have to go up against that
prohibition

and how do you get the idea what to
challenge

well it the bubbles up

from some hidden part of the human mind
sometimes

other you its there's several stages to
it as everybody agrees in science and in

our

and in other fields as well you have a
problem you have with them contradiction

between what's available and what you
need

and a you ponder that contradiction and
try to get out amid

and after a while country for the
conscious thought doesn't do any good

but somewhere out of sight in some
deeper part that the human mind this

process

the search continues and one day

well cooking or che being or running
more

sometimes by as the butter the correct
answer may come to you

that happened to me once with the turn I
was giving a lecture on way some idea

would work

and I made a mistake the turn

I had something that didn't work though

it is that same deeper by the human mind
is

presumably involved in the search for

how to educate the heart a the

search for

forgiveness a compassion

a is a

something that surely in the involved at
least occasionally

these apart for the human mind that is
somewhat outside

conscious awareness so there's possibly
related

between creative thinking in art and
science in another field on the one hand

and the search for compassion
forgiveness

and so on and the other so

you spoke of compassion and education
does other

to Center team of are getting so
compassion

we need to be creative even
revolutionary about compassion if we

king of the challenges of the modern
times

the short term but the economy the
middle term of the quality of life

and the long-term the environment does
that seemingly incompatible

except if you have to tread of altruism

of consideration for others that prevent
you from cheating other

in economy that will make you consider
the quality of life

of those you work with and that we read
a good to consider the future generation

saw your work as a psychology for the
Terrapins

hardy you bring compassion and others
life

and also in education thank you

I'm first both an honor to be here with
I love my esteemed

yes in the love you and with your
holiness I'm

what I'd like to do trade creatively as
I'm recovering from laryngitis

so I'm very aware

my internal up imposed to call

so I will say very slowly named

on my mind but it very much relates to

p up what you're asking met you about um

by the way the doctor told then don't
speak the whole week

yes because I said right you know so

here's what I'd like to just presented
as take on Fox about that

that compassion and creativity

are healthy for the brain and that

in education we have focused

on the basic skills in reading riding

enrichment which set up a pattern

for the brain to learn things in a very
fixed way

and we give those skills in modern
education in

most schools maybe not the blue school
but in

in most schools now

when I'd like to propose is that they're
worth three other basic arms

%uh reflection where we look inward

and realize that with out an active
effort to train them on

then the brain is it gets past seven or
eight years a page

begins to get fixed in its way of seeing
things

as eckhart has taught us with the power
now it starts to believe that the

thoughts

are the identity of the person and as
that happens the brain is a natural

tendency to imprison us

in this false believed

that our thoughts or feelings are that
whole amor identity

and in many ways creativity is

imprisoned as well because one way

of

one-way at the last time I spoke with
his holiness we're told

when the translator begins to speak you
stop and the clock keeps on turning

mmm the way it is not fair to give you
can't follow

the next thing you're saying ok

so anyway so the the idea here is that
creativity

emerges from novelty and it is exactly
as doctor Gelman was saying

I'm it was scientific orthodoxy that the
brain didn't change after childhood

but now we know that certain factors
beyond just

exercise I help us keep on growing our
brains and that includes novelty

so we realize that creativity is really
a part

%uh creating novelty for the brain it's
about keeping the brain growing not just

in childhood

but throughout the life span so
reflection allows you to go inward to

get beyond

the fixed ways of thinking it's the
first thing but then I want to talk

about relationships because this is the
first moment

I've been able to actually address his
holiness directly since

in a prologue last year you ask us a
question we run a panel together

see the compassionately and you
challenge

assess for scientists Richie Davidson
was one of them and emailed saw police

lieberman myself

you challenged us in a very

provocative way saying the head you in
religion

have not been so effective with it was
theistic religion

or non theistic religion to make the
world a kinder and more compassionate

place

and you suggested that in sin

we should look for a secular ethics that
could promote compassion

so ever since we had that communication
have not stopped thinking about that

and its challenge my fixed ways of
thinking as a scientist and as a

position

in this address is your question met you
to now give you a response

and the question for you your holiness
one thing then emerged with the idea

that if we start see

compassion and creativity

as forms a brain health or brain hygiene

then perhaps we can introduce to
education

and then make it a standard practice in
all societies a practice a brush in your

brain

every day just like we brush our teeth
so that we would have a formal

for example everyone knows you brush
your teeth every day

not once a month not once a year but if
we had a former mine training

that was about reflection it would
promote

compassion circuits in the brain it
would liberate creativity

it would keep the brain young and in
many ways

it would develop another ours we have
reflection in relationships like the one

I started with you when you encourage us
to think about that

you have resilience so in all these ways
we can promote creativity compassion the

world they go hand in hand

I'm by promoting kinda training that
allows us to look inward

and liberates us from the way the brain
falsely creates identity

and keeps us seeing things through very
narrow lenses

will begin open them why and feel the
freedom

love seeing life is it really is and
connecting with others in a deep

compassionate and kind way

so you're reading this you often

expressed views about what will be
required

in modern education to really bring
start

good human beings so good you share your
thoughts with us

bud his education is one of the main
topic of our

get re unique redo search in

to worry

it seems to me d

creativity debt i think im

really did more

intelligence although i Tim

a other special other species to Mama's

also to some G

certain to people creativity

for but compared with human being

much much less why interest citing
management

creativity something secretive Newton
Newton you would

so does I think mainly did

intelligence compassion

ha

manhood I don't know

to Tibetan word Dubey

its qualities

need hearty expressed morning

wish 10 mmm den creativity

her the

we have a city but nature

because what did brain in the pretension

of creativity is down but then

I think for creativity

i'd think its decision walk

%uh so sometimes to the life

the easy no problem

then maybe creativity also

me women sleep contrast

I'll prison yes not ma challenge

more to good use then is our
intelligence

become much more Cooper active the

and also I Tim

so I think the factor to tool

to bring creativity one

check another

experience past experience denmark also
I did and it doesn't affect a

for creativity maybe hundred-degree

if there is no contradictions and
creativity may not develop

soak up to cripple force

external better all mentor met

meant 11 dour country if you look if you
remain just like that

100 Attash shot then

to DPDT response

cadet then tried troops in this house

districts so that maybe I don't know
mine my knowledge with limited

I don't with that's compassion

are compression as I mentioned earlier

as a riche morning express

recent but

the real issue creativity I think
differently

not that it in day

that means I feed compassion

a or denmark also like to

creativity dell also can be a

one produced a gritty one
unrealistically 22 also to

uniting most cases I

unrealistic for King is usually

study really sticky

maybe generally speaking

more possible Boston means

in dissent her anything as you want

even use it want to harm other

the matter should be gts-t den more
effective

so the whole the city in order to
develop

released little to approach

the leash have to

no ya truthfully in order to

no yonder to fully objecting at 22 he
said

vintage whatever reason

our mind important yeah a passion

works compassion

open on mind and then

of my mental state remain calm

and with dad from interstate

you can't see did reality

more too much emotion a new constitution
your

so dat mean maybe some connection but
otherwise these two things on

creativity mainly due to a deep
divisions and

compassion

managed to all to on pot I think to

separate I don't know I

so if I

constructing creativity

has to be at June to reality that means

the minor for should stop distorting
reality

we should bridge the gap between the
waiting said Kia

and the way things are that means anyway
in mind as to remain

in its natural state and shot of to
upstage

citing ECA maybe you could tell us if
you think of how

creativity would arise from in mind that
is not

completely distorted by meant that
construction

we started of by the talking about the
genesis of

rugby and

when I'm heard something just

came to mind a news item that I listened
to

few days ago on my and His Holiness his
favorite news channel on which is to BBC

world news that I listened to every day
anti

dirty fuels listen to that there was a
news item

on the BBC the BART

soccer football soccer

person there and for researchers had
looked

at phenomenon in soccer that is called

i'm relieved the penalty shootout

so I haven't watched a soccer game in
about 20 years so I only have a vague

recollection of what that means

its often the decisive moment in the
game

when one player is selected to

third tried to cake this

Bollinger the goal a must be better
expressions for it

just call and decision on almost
pressure at that moment on this player

everything depends on age to his whole
nation sometimes is watching

and so it's of incredible importance

not on a costly scale but on the
relatives hand

and soul the

lay X researchers examined what happens
when the referee

whistles and then that is the signal for
the player to showed

and those players who do not cause

who immediately showed after they hear
the whistle

army much less likely to score then
those players who

when the whistle goals they don't
immediately juditha

3 45 seconds even more when they

become stable and then

it happens and the likelihood of scoring
is

infinitely greater then those players
who do not stop

at all this one you you ask for an
explanation

more people will give some kind of
mental bobble explanations they want

they concentrate that gives in a moment
of contemplation

but what does that mean when we say they
concentrate for a moment

what the question i'd like to ask is
what happens

in that moment of

going within

so the end the attention which is

usually would be on the desired outcome

and the pressure the attention on the
sale from me

I have to perform that the attention is
taken away from all that

and the the there's a redirecting

of attention into the depths

and sold it at that moment I believe

because I'm to million with that process
bit gassed believe it is the bases of

the creative process

added it in football and soccer it is
the rudimentary

expression of the creative process
redirecting

of attention within way you touch

deeper layer deeper level of him being

and that is the well all power resides

and when you touch that power at that
moment

the whole whole conceptual things in

including the concept of me conceptual
self

goals this simply a deep

intensely alive still miss and also
alleged illness comes the

power and that power is not my Apollo

know your power it just universal power
and that power

then can either become a masterful cake

of the ball or it can flow into

other channels added it can become

be belong into foam it could be a mental

I believe that also scientist after
they've done a lot of thinking

as you mentioned there's a moment of

cessation of thinking and of in that
moment

of stillness and stillness is not just
the absence of thinking there is a power

in the stillness

the is non conceptual intelligence

in the stillness intelligence when we
measure intelligence with

IQ test all we measure is conceptual
intelligence

but they is a Boxster much faster
intelligence in every human being

it is non conceptual not words and
concepts

week it you can't analyze it but
everybody has that

within potentially and I believe that is
the souls of creativity

now this does not mean that when I A

and ass to kick this fall

& score goal that's I go deeply within

and it's going to happen now why doesn't
it happen

I've I've on deeply with a and I've
contacted the saucer column

and it's not working porn

or if they asked me to come up with the
great theory of Physics

okay I'm going to become stale and then
perhaps

theory of relativity or something all
the unified field theory

all the on such a everything is going to
come to me it's not because I don't know

anything about physics

do

soul it can on a car there must be a
vehicle

that is ready for for the power to flow
into

the vehicle could be the the human mind

there must be something that

is has already been prepared for that in
the world of all

soul and this is my son researchers have
found

I read it recently in a book called out
Elias that

in to to achieve proficiency and become
muster

call it something one prerequisite
here's

is they called it 10,000 also practice

okay edsall ten thousand dollars
practice

then the possibility arises that the
vehicle is ready

to be research the receptive the power
of creativity

education I

the Wii Shop or Paris is that education
we had then

provide for their children to become
good human beings

to have confidence in life and

to have happiness flat it seems and
education does almost everything except

that

boosting intelligence an adventure
information so how do you solve that

in fact minutes

I'm trying to shake off this image

all eckhart on the football pitch

and I really rather I think it off but

and the referee blows the whistle

an act of like 10,000 hours

and he still misses today

what he say

and I want to just pick up on something

the Dalai Lama said and actually that's
something I've always wanted to say

that

which is this power

Paul creativity is unique to human
beings

that the prior power which is the parent
imagination

which is what many were where this comes
from which is the ability to bring to

mind things around present

on mean if you take

a small child into the garden if you
have one

and point at the moon

the child will look at the moon if you
take a

a dog into the garden and point to the
moon

the don't we look at your finger and

that

and wonder what your problem is exactly
with

no we all belong

with the capacity to project ourselves
into other places

to imagine forwards and backwards

to conceivable pass to conceive a future

and not just long future but many
features not just one pass but many pass

eckhardt work is about telling in the
present but it's not only about that

it's recognizing the real power comes
from

recognized there is only this present
moment problem

i think is that that power has to be
cultivated

creativity is a step mom that

cuz you can be matched it all day long
and never do anything to be crated you

have to do something

and it's a very practical process it's
putting your imagination to work

its so to speak applied imagination and
it depends on skills it depends on

training it depends on confidence and it
depends on knowing things she said

and of me and in education

I think a mistake is made in believing
that you just have to

allow people to be creative at you have
to help people

to be creative have to teach them it's
like saying we hope you'll all be

literate

and good luck with that you know they
hear the case the library your callers

you know you need to be helped and
facilitated that with all processes

you need teaching and mentoring for it
happen and this is why I believe we have

two big problem right now

which is that all children are born with
immense crater

potential much more than that dogs and

I mean other animals may have something
like imagination creativity but they

show no signs within the way that we do
look at the building where and

look at the conversation we're having I
mean other animals may

feel elated but they don't write poetry
you know

they may get depressed but they don't
listen to Miles Davis and drink Jack

Daniels

you know we do

am and the problem is

that these capacities like literacy need
to be cultivated

and its essential they do from humanity

and it's essential because the sort
futures that we face these the powers

that would deliver as into the future

or I think make a stumble in the face of
it and current systems education

do the exact opposite our current
systems education

are routed in the idea that education is
really about learning

facts and information primarily
propositional knowledge

which is important but there's no space
for people to develop their real

creative capacities it's not my fault

teaches I don't think but we have
education systems which were

rooted in the principles and ideals of
industrialism

they were designed to do particular
things and that based on standardization

and so far encouraging creativity

the whole emphasis is on knowing certain
things and getting them right

there's one answer and it's at the back
and don't look

because that's cheating

and don't talk to anybody else because
that's cheating to I'm outside the

stores that's cool collaboration

but inside stores

now

and I think this is a fundamental issue
of human rights it's an issue all

economic and development at an issue
this occasion about communities

and that means we have to look hard
curriculum

in most schools for example the arts
which are not the only salsa creative

thinking sciences

hugely crated give me credit anything
but some people think in the way the

Arts

facilitate and if that's the way they
think this is a tough world for now

because they get cut out

am and assessment

is really now focused entirely on the
process standardization

and education has become the past two
months and the only way to revive it is

to personalize it

I don't think there's a kid in Vancouver

to get outta bed in the morning wanting
what he or she can do to raise the

province's reading standards

you know they no call me I'm at your
disposal

you know they they will read if they're
encouraged and engaged to read

so somewhere along this process for
investor education with lost sight

at the heart of Education which is the
mines and hopes and aspirations have the

students who pass through it

and we have two revive that if we're to

not just say that education but help our
children prosper

and I think that's what's so compelling
about the work at the blue school

and that's what's so compelling about
what we've heard about compassion

creativity is one of my Nexus abide is

which will delivers a more humane
education that we don't just need that

our children are yearning for

sold

could I add a word to those wonderful
remarks absurd and robbins

a education professor once remarked on
the fan that

created the and used far more into

problem formulated that it doesn't do
problems I'll

problem formulation is often by far the
trickier part

and schools

he remarked the education professor rely

schools almost the only place where the
problems are all formulated for you

have you learned problem formulation

in the conventional school it's a

that the place where creative thinking
really comes in

and we need far more exercised

in that then merely in problem solved

yes

so Matt and Chris Ware we have seen me

the performance we act %um heard you

explaining what you mean by creativity
but for the sake of this

had how would you greenpeace has the
what is missing in education

to your work well up

first I wanna say that arm sometimes we
used to say that when we first got

called in blue

up and if we thought we were gonna make
a living from their

they would have put us in a padded room
and prone waiver K

and as I sit here this hauling ass

and some the greatest minds from
planning

I'm so home but I'd say if we had

when we first got balkan grew said we
were going to make a living and be

sitting here

they throw away the key melted down
crime that up to

blender by the you know

our job I feel is

now to translate olive way

you said about creativity in the process
and working the mine

into the classroom and apply it to the
actual

education have the children arm

okay you said something very just

came home for us the other day morning
sessions

about teaching awareness and so

a that's something that we're very much

trying to do with with the home

doctor then you feel with the help of
Sir Ken Robinson

said on our board of advisors maybe we
can all be on the board

the visors if you don't mind after the
session with

but this awareness

I first home we feel like

creativity has to be sewn into every
single part

the educational process we feel like
social and emotional learning

not a separate subject but part of
everything

so then the skills and embassy

the skills of compassion are all sewn
into your literacy in your man

in your social so as strong as anything

are and and and and thats

how teaching to the whole child up

you know might happen and so %um

it it's not the easiest path

truly to take even least 10 minutes

each own this incredibly profound and
intelligent

thinking and make it happen in the
classroom

I but through teaching

children have their own mines were
awareness

to their own process awareness to
creativity awareness to

how they treat themselves how they think
about us we're hoping

that these children

will come out with the special skills
that we're gonna need

tomb are build a harmonious and
sustainable world

which is what the mission in the blue
school is so that's our home

I did its

I since we're talking about compassion
just one at that the

iPhone that we blended was a prop

with

so they are 16,000

young children who will hearings on S

in one out time and this is very very
very very close to king of education

that's what is on this week do

inspired them and we have to if this

to the next Friday to again no
collectivity

bidding at the speed of light so at the
conclusion

his own issue often speak of
intelligence

and the formation in education as being
tools

hammer can do the house and

and destroyed so you always been
stressing

out to introduce more even bad news

in in education so could you as
concluding

port she remind us of

what are your views Han more than that

what's missing in modern education and
what could be added two more than

education

now we are in

so doubtful I heard

him up housing years ago this separate

education institution stock at that time

more Marshall between modern

talk modern education yet

d and I mean responsibility

digging Cal more it takes church

so at that time maybe solution

more it it's church live up to

family values of a decline

then you should know what day K him on a
more personal

now education institution it wrong have
both his hold

David Campbell ranging Walmart miss

so it really did key factor to bring

had be a human society hatfield so

so they're not something lacking so that

I think we need specialist than you

nutz these people Massimo study more

the social work and then made call

crucial ideas up a poster up sometimes

in your room born in America

many cases in India also I expression

these things but at the moment is the
people

written for you agree but nothing
happened

so now I'm hoping now time is running
out

great Sosa some Hawkins total

proposal also to ideas should should not
expect from me

no I don't know energy red so see

those educated people those

professors I think for I think now

I'm used to speak with those young
people so

these young people parties year people

this century we hear bronze goaded into
century

now they are ready to say goodbye told
people

before all plan on goodbye see

we must show some retractable guy

to the next contestant

because the traffic position for the
next batter

who will give place today thank you

what a wonderful

session your holiness you have really
challenged us

and we have just a few minutes waiting
for our panel

to get there belongs on because there
weren't enough to see

have to change so I want to take this
opportunity

to share with you a story of another
piece

lauria keno I the last few days we've
had the luxury yeah

the benefit having so wonderful

so many wonderful nobel Peace Laureates
with us for this

peace summit starting with yourself

but I wanted to share with you another
story ever peace laureate who is

Canadian

canadian peace laureate

who received the Nobel Peace Prize in
nineteen

fifty-seven a former

Prime Minister have Canada Lester
Pearson

mmm and when he accepted

the Nobel Peace Prize 50

over fifty years ago he challenged the
world

by saying that we needed to seek peace
in the world

and that it was a task we were doing
badly

and here's a quote

can I have to but he said at that point
that gramm

fact is that we prepare for war

like precocious Giants and for peace

like retarded pygmies

mark

three

now we have to forgive him 40 maybe what
we would see today is being politically

incorrect

but his words

today I believe are as relevant as they
were fifty years ago

why is it why is it your holiness

that we spend billions of dollars

and huge resources to prepare for war

and spend so few dollars

and so few resources and so few so
little energy

in our education our research

are inquire re in preparing for peace

if you think about science and the use
of Science

whether its quantum mechanics certain
nuclear physics and the

building up weaponry and satellite
technology and

I'm all for science believe me

but where are the arts and the
humanities and the understanding that

needs to be developed

to allow us to know what it means to be
compassionate

how to be kind how to be empathetic

I believe there's a science there and I
think

you do too and I know our panel

this morning is going to take up from
the 2006

I meeting on educating the heart

where you challenged us just as you did
this last panel

he said we now know why

we must do it we have to get on with how
we're going to do it

and I hope today's pan

on all will help us answer the house so
I'd like to introduce our panel

I

up

them Steve

so we're so please your holiness to have

5 incredible intellectual experts with
us

this morning and I'm going to give a
very brief introduction because I know

our audience is already red I the precis
in the bulletin but I would like to

welcome to my right steven covey along

was steven is recognized as one of Time

so perhaps I'd like to start

your holiness and asking you

what role you think education might play

in helping us prepare for peace

dead

for

agree to be 21 I wanted to say a

I

I'll obviously is a

the blindness

a Morse the

I think did

from the beginning all human history

this bottle but all history bother him
in like a

a form of President of India

column has a up to a column

a Muslim a

with great scientist he

her often used to say deceived on

problem is to possible I

and me

so the helpful these violence

the to actually

is it come the idea

we Andy a

this big summer got

demain c'est then

did destruct destruction destroy audio

animee on them victory

of we so that

I think top seller housing it's not
possible NAR

up firstly of course

their my limbs very much needed

dat tested basis crews

black and secondly

British world Christianity

no longer that division BND

economies in global economies in

and also in what amenities in Anderson
be

she is a little human human population
so

on this we work together the human

him few jobs humanity different so
doubtful

if you can did goodies

reality then

wall this update a

at this problem is pop pop rock all-pro

or should have proper soul

sixty billion human being must work
together

meet central be all us

so destino this

it in you a according to a new reality
we need

that kinda sorta concept soho cabinda

towards a passion

compassion doubt dude havent

one compassion

of course the

these things I already use mentioned
here past few days

but then I things here some more people
I

new people maybe here so doubtful

may not be home for to repeat his team's

so closer to levels two levels of

compassion 111 a small I'll

by was a tractor that competition

known train known need helpful

wisdom spontaneous like

compassion from model:protected all

compassion percent from gensel the
alternatives

at least does reduce you see sure you

posited indoor does religion

visited native attitude pocket a

the evening

using pseudo sessile concern

well-being even you should wish more
proper

for DEP like that so desire up

my was a factor and very much body into
it what about us

act second half of compassion is

now beyond not already ended

others attitude as a disregard others

attitude but stern they are shimmy

and furthermore now send me up

why breedlove pastor not disease in

be kind Dawson no but simply

I want happiness i'd what's up because
of bad

said I have direct to work on some so
Dad Roger

process other restaurant 16 resuming

all have same or do not want something
what happened this

saw they offered is a she did

could order up Rajiv happiness

and the possible to produce

must just sensual concern

on so dad genuine compassion

second-ever compassion data compression

not buyers

not oriented attitude but body and

bnews are to the personal

sending be

sold dad unbiased dad going to
compassion

no to training to reason

as had earlier this reality my future

given on Dec so I have to dig dat
interest

are currently for my only interest road

told mister song

mean not education non

very very important Index CPI educated
people

no what happen

did past century can century become
central

black church central war what and spend

on 'em in UT non-nuclear weapon

should even just keeping peace nuclear
weapon

lot of money at same time

no bloody dead to use these rare service
sometime

within Visual money 100 are

if u'd positive who do you love

you clean nuclear weapon they should use
if you use nuclear weapon doesn't matter

sets this

rough Magnus ancestors so doubtful

as I wasn't thinking these nine them

now time come we

have to who have get vichy did do you
dressed warm

and one-time one German professor

express good

the whole world become something like
one for what a

on body so use government

no need Foreign Ministry Defense
Ministry

you should treat your neighbor as
children mystics

boda boda yourself i contested so the
very idea

Foreign Ministry do you foreign

something different day and defense

protect your step cost David accepting

so this is very concerned is

I think updated like that

so these things through education to end

wonderful on trade

want to turn to my education experts
here

Clyde Inc Eminem after them first Clyde

what role do the schools have

in educating the heart and can you give
us some examples of things that might be

happening and then

kim chi name what's your experience been
here in Vancouver and across the

province and throughout the world and
what can we

help in terms of guiding and moving this
agenda

educating the heart forward will

its your holiness since you were here
the last time

you out challenged us to stop talking
and start acting

and so over the last few years we've
been trying to mobilize

the schools in British Columbia to focus
on social emotional learning and to take

seriously

educating the human heart one other ways

we've been trying to do that is to get
the whole education system

to recognize that educating the human
heart problems starting

right at the very beginning of life
because

as children develop vision

as they develop hearing and touch and
speech

particularly the century parts of those

I'll develop connections with the DD

structures in the brain that got to do
with whether or not we feel like we

belong

or whether or not we feel threatened and
so that children who grow up in

environments

which are threatening really see what's
up angry faces where they deal with lots

of

this kinda touch rather than that kinda
touch

admin their shouted at and so forth by
the time they reach school age

their brains are actually gifford from
children who have grown up

here in strong yeah I emotionally
accepting

environments such that basins threat

for others don't they see track brothers
don't

and that means that there are huge
barriers to them becoming compassionate

citizens

have the sort that you just described so
one of the things that we've done

over the last few years as we've worked
with all the kindergarten teachers in

this province

so we're talking about several thousand
kindergarten teachers

when children at age five getting them

to look at the Stade children's
development are they physically

aggressive

are the AM happen helpful and so forth
and provide that information so that we

can actually map home

the contour soberly social and emotional
development for all the neighborhoods in

the province

and we've done this 13 twice three times
so we are the first jurisdiction in the

world

that is thoroughly now the feeder early
social and emotional development

in

in what we've discovered is that in some
neighborhoods in the province

only two or three or five percent of the
children have a worrisome state of

emotional development by the time they
reach school age

but in other areas it's 25 or 30 percent
in its totally avoidable

and so we are working now in the
preschool period with the family

strengthening programs and the be

criteria for quality child care to get
those things in bed early

and then working with people like him to
transition into schools and mainstream

these kind of ideas

so Kim how does that transition take
place and what's happening after this

after this the children reach school all
and that

title experiences that you think might
make a difference

well your home yes it's an honored to be
here again with you to talk about

education at the heart n

when think the Clyde talked about is
that there to be children who come into

school

with problems and but we don't want to
give up hoping for a while

forget it they've come kinda damage what
we know is that schools as you've said

educational play a powerful role and one
thing in British Columbia and which

we're very lucky

is that the promotion of social and
emotional learning is prominent

is part of the goal education so in 2001

social responsibility is one of the four
goals education in British Columbia

in addition to reedy writing

now and social them the parts have SOC
responsibly that schools promote

in include things like create
contributing to classroom in school

community

solving problems in peaceful ways
practicing democratic

rights and responsibilities and value we

at valuing diversity in defending human
rights

so one thing that has been very easy for
us to do

am in your last challenged Western you I
think you told us just get to work now

in 2006 six and start doing that

a lot has happened here there are many
initiatives across the province

which really are focusing on educating
the hearts of children

and programs that bring in mind for
attention awareness programs for

teachers

even a teacher training program now for
pre-service teacher education programs

to help them learn the strategies

to educate the heart of children

I want to know the city

as is served all who the practice diesel

other the beautiful hot these things up

Andrew Sullivan what differences

does student who happened at energy
education

%uh that program and those student who

possible to death penalty education want
out

p.m. you know we've basically been doing
a lot of researches you know science

very important and we are finding
differences in terms of children who

receive these programs develop

and fifty altruism compassion and even
do better in school

so we know there's a lot of things that
happen by educating the heart

and educating the mind together
wonderful

other

education which is family

and the role families might play and I
know steven you are an expert

on that and maybe you could share with
us some other things that you think that

the

there the role the family the type that
education learning that takes place

there in terms of educating the heart

formal

fundamental and most important

organization in the world and that's
where most believe will

fundamental education takes place so I
suggest

we have a call me at nine song and I
have a family of nine children

and 51 grandchild that if you ask me

law one plane has made a huge difference

its the development a family mission
statement

and we put ur

literally on and the ones rest or their

put on their ankle and

a family mission statement basically
weenie server

God by serving others so it gets them
into the

pick up service and

into the character development of

subordinating themself me

to the idea of we

what the Dalai Lama just talked about

so that you moved from independence

to interdependence and a high level of
collaboration

sold to me that it's been the most
significant

one single thing that we have done

the second thing very practical I finish
training

Indian chiefs that run indian nations in
North America

at in Mexico United States and Canada
including First Nations

and after three days

training they gave to me especially a

is called an Indian Talking Stick

is about this high they put my name on
the back side

they call me mall a No yeah

even though I did a lot of

special load ryan that morning for extra
wide

anyway I'm

the idea is very very simple this was
taught by

the iroquois federation to the founding
fathers

love United States the ideas

that you always given first to the other
person and I cannot say anything

until you feel understood which stirs up

empathy impacted listen so you get
inside your frame of reference

India mein and into your heart

it I really understand not only what you
said

know how you feel about what you said
and I can't say anything

and tell I have done this then you pass
it back to me

now it's my turn to express how I see it

and how I feel about a as this goes back
and forth

between us creativity is only

and you come up with a third alternative
solutions

not my way not your way

and not a compromise but a new way that
we have created together

and that automatically begins to develop

spear up interdependency and
collaboration

and cooperation and profound respect

for other people and so

I'm I teach this wherever I go

this is another

form opinion Talking Stick you could use
a pencil you can use a piece of paper

the object is valuable simply because

you do not get it back and cannot
express yourself

until that person gives it to you mean

I feel understood and both levels

compassion that the Dalai Lama just talk
about are developed in this way

through impact a glistening

and trying to understand

deeply when a person says and what they
feel about what they say

so we focus a great deal on

both to develop in a mission statement

the we all participate in creating

it took us eight months to create this

we serve God by serving others

and the

may seek approach that we use to develop
us

is Indian Talking Stick communication
maybe I could ask you steven

to hand at Talking Stick to it down

sir

reading this conversation because its
holiness is going to have to leave us

very shortly

to go and educate the hearts up sixteen

thousand young people in a

we conference so I wanna be

have way to get we get both about their
speakers to share with us

and i wanna change the focus a little
bit the individual and how does the

individual

learn without necessarily going to
school or

counting on their family and tell you
once said that you thought that

people who are the happiest are those
who make others happy

and I'm wondering if you could share
with us some of your ideas about

how individuals can achieve that and
then that to ask me read

kind of the same question in terms of
how in terms of what you found

your experiences how do you draw upon
yourself to become compassionate what

you

what do you the not from others but

internally how do you learn internally
how to be compassion

to be joyful and to live in the moment
I'll

Talking Stick moving back and forth on

your holiness you'll remember for Doc
from Damansara

that I am very interested in practical
in moving beyond

words and if we want to educate the
heart of children

we need to start with us with you and I
because children learn what they'd lived

it's very nice to tell them things in
school but what they learn

up from the examples to the people
around them so we need to start with us

and it doesn't have to be big thing she
could be when you leave today

you let another car merging from India
or

it could be on and just I am

saying thank you to somebody in the
store who was serving you with the

people clean your office

they ought any

number of things you can do little
things you can do that teehee

help you and help the child now your
holiness is set

if you want others to be happy showed
the compassion

if you want yourself to be happy show
others compassion

and is profoundly the net but you often
don't realize it unless you experience

it

because before you experience it you
often think it's a zero-sum game what

i'd give you I'd lose

and I have to got to a lot to give to
you

and what she'd do it and you realize how

incredibly happy it makes you just just
saying hello to a stranger on the street

seen everything smiley you makes you
happy and so you get so much back from

doing that and

on I have a proposal for the school's a
British Columbia

there we have a competition each school
at the beginning of the year

for the children to use their creativity
to

crude to think outside the box to think
up ways that they can help

other people they could make the world a
better place it could be at the level up

less

a greater school and then all the
relevant people the children

the be teachers the janitors the people
who work in them

and cafeteria both I what they think is
the best plan and then the children

doing

they may create the possibility %uh
doing it

whether it's helping people across the
world are helping your school

and then at the end of the year they can
be awards

but not only the brightest the best that
we but the teacher this

into have shown that most kindness shown
the most impassioned

anything come not only from the school
but kinda

I go beyond its where the profit

kids %uh awards for this not only two
children but adults

and not only to the fancy people who are
leading the Burg a

but to the no name people who don't have
fancy degrees a fancy positions

but in their everyday life are doing
things to make the world a better place

and I think my university the University
British Columbia

could get in the act and offer
scholarships a thousand dollars

to any student who's won this award from
their school

and I'm gonna be quiet to give time

this little your button I'm getting

very very significant signals that we
need to

law the I you want

allow me to to power like

file were so Mary over to you

up

said when I in the morning weekend
everyone

me because cell much

and PC when you mucho like

yet hitting more me

I mean lol and have a lot of and

the feeling inside we have this energy
and this

me to be loved just to be

staff didn't just for somebody to reach
like this

my and accept this and perhaps the
hardest thing for any parent

as to accept their child

child with the pot and Zack I'm not
wanting to control

on to dominate and perform them into
being

sucks sass well in the world

hidden

to me our kids be like us

you know what every single individual

and create I'm new repeated be

with tremendous potential and our
children the greatest gift we can

get them isn't allowed them to be
yourself night we are called to be

helping human beings

first calling in life to be hopping film

joint cool human be wouldn't be all the
rage

all the age and never known what I would
be to be fully

allied I'm not like any other skill

are geared there are steps to being
helped by

after all then I might be the best offer

we spend our being the best signed Santa

how many are still we spend on this is
not a selfish thing

because if you are not within yourself
properly and compassionate can

enjoy this you cannot give this to your
children are

anyone trying to get shoulder happiness
cart

with any and there are steps to help in
this

what do you think 45 6789 10 and you can
be

a joyous but

because

we talk be ours we never taught

our children are now online in our
schooling system

the most important thing hardened deal
with the emotions inside this

the desperate fear desperate anxiety

the desperate need to some hard that
ended this word

how do we deal with those crucifying

a motion which stop us being
compassionate

good when you're and p.m. it's like
having a toothpick

you can't reach out to others a
compassionate because you're so

frightened

and here up people who are different
people who are more

educated dunya because you are so

in should cheer and lonely in here

the journey is a PM fearful

lonely journey and the

only way we can help gonna help let the
children coming into sector

word the only way we can help them
through done

journey is to help bill understand

that we all have these emotions we r all
upgraded

alright we're all anxious we wonder

with say the wrong word and get
embarrassed what people say

that the emperor has no clothes

you know I think overcoming these
emotions

fun the education system starting from
the children were young

and the home to learn to be popping

fulfilled almost children

I i think at he added

fun
