Practicing meditation itself creates compassion, creates love, builds love, builds kindness.

Why? Because when you meditate, there is a relationship with your thoughts and that is the key

point. I am Mission Laciani founder of Mind Valley the School for Human

Transformation. You're listening to the Mind Valley Podcast

where we'll be bringing you the greatest teachers and thought leaders

on the planet to discuss the world's most powerful ideas

and personal growth for mind, body, spirit, and work.

Welcome everyone to the Mind Valley Podcast.

Today's guest is Galong Thubten,

the famous British monk who has been on Mind Valley several times

and here's what is remarkable about Galum Thubton.

He was the monk brought in to train the staff and actors of Marvel's Dr Strange.

Yes, he trained Benedict Cumberbatch on Eastern philosophy

so that Cumberbatch could give his best possible portrayal of Dr Strange in that hit Marvel movie.

Now Tugten, which is his name, De Long is a title of reverence.

Tukten was a British actor who decided to give up the modern life,

move to a remote Scottish island, join a Buddhist monastery and meditate in silence for four years. He came back to the

modern world and today is one of the most prominent meditation teachers on the

planet.

Thubton is also a dear friend and he was a guest at Mind Valley University

where he spoke on stage and delivered a remarkable talk on the secret formula for human happiness.

So what you're going to hear in this podcast is the audio version of Thumbton's Talk at Mind Valley
