Simple,
profound truths are the realm of this Buddhist nun. Her message? The gift of
happiness truly lies within our own hearts and minds. Gen Kelsang Nyema,
exuding a peacefulness that immediately connects with the audience, starts by
asking three questions: Are you having a good day? Why? Tomorrow, would you
rather have a good day or a bad day? She teaches that we cannot put our
happiness at the whim of other people and of circumstances. If we want to be
happy, we have to "stop outsourcing our happiness to other people"
and cultivate a source of inner peace. What happens next is quite astounding.
The whole crowd of 350+ people proceeds to meditate with Nyema. There's a
little squirming at first, but as she leads the audience through a calm
citation of how to rest the mind, audience members feel a collective relaxation
flow into the room and through the people. Fascinating! Refreshing. This talk
was part of TEDxGreenville UNZIPPED, held April 11, 2014, at the Kroc Center in
Greenville, South Carolina. For more information about Gen Nyema and her

In
the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized
events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx
event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and
connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded
TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides
general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are
self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
