Tsoknyi Rinpoche
Befriending Our "Beautiful Monsters": A Guided Practice to Work with Difficult Emotions
Who else would enjoy this summit?
What You'll Learn
Explore how “being with” difficult emotions with non-judgmental, compassionate, embodied awareness allows them to naturally open and transform, revealing the innate well-being and “essence love” at the core of our beings
Understand how the cognitive mind can keep us trapped in cycles of emotional struggle by trying to fix, change, ignore, or run away from what we are feeling, rather than meeting it with direct kind awareness
Be led in a guided practice to help you work with difficult emotions and connect with your grounded body, open heart, and clear mind

Wonderful!!! Little by little Rinpoche’ concepts open myself, I love his analogies, with body gestures and his caring for humanity. Now I am going to practice until I relate to my monsters, then smooth mi mind which is very critical.
Thank you deeply for this time together & sharing your knowledge.
This is the most helpful talk I have ever heard in my life. This is an amazingly insightful, beautiful talk. I feel so grateful. I have worked with feelings for so very long. This is liberation. With gratitude and love.
Gracias!! Gracias!! Gracias!!!!
“Being is making connection.” Tq so much, Rinpoche. May you be well and happy. Sadhu, sadhu, sadhu!
Amazing information and presented with clarity, humor and essence of love. Thank you!
Concrete and clear. Good sense of humour! thank you!!!!!
This was very beautiful and now I am not afraid of the negative that will come up and it is all suppose to be. Now I know I don’t stress the mind to fix it, just open and love it and nature it and send compassion to it. Thank you very much
Really enjoyed your simplicity of helping us too deal with difficult situations and thoughts. As I have PTSS, I do believe I would need to do this work with a Somanic Practitioner . Your thoughts?
And how could I obtain a copy of this meditation and interview? Blessings to you.
Thank you, Tsoknyi, I have a wonderful meditation, loving my beautiful Monster. Thank you deeply!
Okayness = good enough …

The most beautiful talking I have heart. I will stay in every moment grounded body, open heart and clear mind. Thank you so much 🙂
thank you so much : to be ok myself with myself first, with love, whatever the feeling is !
I feel my heart open and full of love while listening :). Thank you
Beautiful. Thank you.
I am crying on how beautiful is this talk. Thank you thank you I am forever grateful for this. 🙏🏽
I cannot thank you enough, Rinpoche, for guiding us through this beautiful practice. It has come at a very apt time. My beautiful monster has been calling to me for some time, getting louder and louder and causing more and more disturbances. I have never been able to sit with it skilfully enough to see it fully. I was really able to listen and to sit fully in its energy with the help of your guidance. Thank you for the freedom in my heartspace!
Wonderful. Thank you so much from Italy.
quick question: in a situation where a child is in stress (like crying / unhapply) in a disturbing emotion – at that moment what should I do? I will approach in a calm matter thats for sure..but I am a little bit confused, Shall I try to calm him down by letting him to talk about his feelings or? or wait and let this emotion pass away and then talk about it.. sometimes talking about his feeling makes him exaggerate his feelings..
for my son, I just want to know the best way to handle this kind of situations.
Depending on how old your child is, they may not have the language to genuinely describe their feelings, and/or understanding of what they are feeling. To ask them to do this is distressing if that is the case. I have four children aged 15 to 1 years, and I personally find it is just better and probably more in line with this practice also to just sit with them quietly through whatever it is, give reassurance that it will pass and they are in fact ok, it’s just a feeling, and explain that you want to listen and help wherever you can. Don’t try to distract them or tell them not to cry or “don’t get mad” as this is denying them the acceptance of their emotions, just be there in the moment with them and be there for them when they need you
Gratitude for introducing ways to handle our ‘Beautiful Monster’. This was so helpful.
Thank you for this clear and warm presentation. It made me smile from my heart.
Beautifully explained about the communication one should have with our feelings..how to behave with the beautiful monster( well personified) Thank you Rinpocheji
Thank you 🙏
Wonderful!!!!! Great explanation
Dear Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Thank-you so very much for your warmth, your sense of humour 😉 and wonderful Monster Befriending Ourselves Meditation Guide, I felt an instant shift of okay-ness with ‘my crocodiles’ 😉 and BEING with the sensations of what was arising and falling during the meditation dropping deep into the body awareness of the felt sense. May I not turn away from suffering “my crocodiles” energy and that of another suffering in front of me off the cushion in daily life interactions, thank-you so very much for the ‘hand shake’ willingness offering of how to work with difficult monsters 😉 mine, yours and others, for the benefit of ALL BEINGS. Deep Bow, appreciation and devotion to ending suffering in this world. May we all live and die peacefully.
Thank-you very much Awake Network for this opportunity to MEET Tsoknyi Rinpoche and everyone else, deep appreciation for this summit, May you all be well and blessed with good health and wellbeing all year round.
Thank you! I wonder if the beautiful monster is similar to the “pain body” that Ekhart Tolle talks about often?
Thank you! This is just what I needed at this exact moment. I look forward to continuing the practice. Blessings!
Very, very helpful!! A big thank you!!!
Dear Tsoknyi Rinpoche,
So absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for this lecture. I am very touched.
Marianne from Switzerland.
Beautiful description and wonderful practice. Very clarifying, genuine and real. thank you.
“…good analyzed kind of german mind…” – very nice, thank you Tsoknyi Rinpoche! Still laughing about that one. And still searchin my Nepal heart…
with love from Landau, Germany, Florian 🙏
Just wonderful – a deep bow to you 🙂
Thank you so much! It was wonderful practice for me, and I got a deeper understanding of how we really can transform our beautiful monsters. Thank you deeply for your generosity
Accepting and embracing the difficult emotions instead of resisting them. Still dukkha, but less dukkha. More insightful, eventually.
wow
thank you rimpoche
beautifully explained
I was so appreciative of this talk, so well organized and paced, and full of very clear helpful teachings. I loved it so much I actually watched it twice!! Thank you Rimpoche, I am so happy you are offering this way- I have new excitement about practicing with this.
Oh god, he is darling! I love his practice, kindness, simplicity, authenticity, humor. Such a wonderful, human teacher. I hold my beautiful monsters dear, honor them, and respect them. That is how they have transformed into kind friends, teaching me compassion and wholeness.
Thank you so much dear Rinpoche.🙏🏽 May you live a long, happy, healthy life and continue to benefit all sentient beings.🙏🏽
This is a treat! Thank you for teaching us how to handle beautiful monsters 🙂
Thank you so much dear Rinpoche.

I have returned to watch this interview with Tsoknyi Rinpoche because he impacted me so deeply. I have so much to learn and practice in befriending and being with my beautiful monsters. This is so hopeful for me to find a teacher who talks so clearly about all my different and failed techniques. I am open and hungry to learn more. Thank you Tsoknyi Rinpoche for being who you are, teacher, guide, and compassionate, wise and humorous human being.
Absolute genius, lovingly delivered with humour. What more could you ask? Tsokyni Rinpoche embodies that which he teaches. I look forward to signing up for his online course. I am certain I can learn much more from this kind and gentle soul. Thank you so much for sharing this wisdom with the Summit!
