During the talk and subsequent meditation, we’ll get in contact with our inherent goodness and extend this recognition to others, fostering kindness and understanding. We’ll focus on forgiving those who have caused us harm, recognizing their struggles and maintaining our peace. Through breath-focused meditation, we’ll stabilize our minds, letting go of intrusive thoughts. Reflecting on our positive actions, we’ll feel proud and motivated. When addressing regret, we’ll aim to improve and make better choices. In a visualization exercise, we’ll imagine cleansing light filling our bodies, pushing out negativity and leaving us renewed. This inner purity will empower us to act with kindness and compassion.
ABOUT THE TEACHER
Scott Snibbe is the founder and host of the meditation podcast ‘A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment’. Snibbe is a twenty-year student of Tibetan Buddhism whose teachers include Geshe Ngawang Dakpa, Choden Rinpoche, Ven. Rene Feusi, Lama Zopa Rinpoche, Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Inspired by his teachers, he leads meditations that infuse the pure lineage of the great Buddhist masters with science, humor, and the realities of the modern world. Over the course of a career as a digital artist and entrepreneur, Snibbe has created bestselling art, music, and social apps, and collaborated with musicians and filmmakers including Björk, James Cameron, and Philip Glass. His interactive exhibits have been collected by both science and art museums, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
Inspired by the ancient Buddhist path to enlightenment yet firmly grounded in modern science, this sequence shows how ordinary people—even non-Buddhists—can achieve happiness using the lamrim’s ancient, authentic practices of analytical meditation. Scott Snibbe’s first book, “How to Train a Happy Mind: A Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment” was published in March 2024. Order here.
Scott has also created the Train a Happy Mind Community, practicing the analytical meditation techniques shared in the How to Train a Happy Mind book and Skeptic’s Path to Enlightenment podcast to create a happy mind, fulfilling relationships, and a better world.
