Youth in Critical thinking vs creative thinkingKendrick Ng
This is the presentation which I share during the UTP ASEAN Student Forum 2016. This topic is to promote and to install a well-balanced mode of thinking within the ASEAN community.
The document discusses mind training and its importance for human resource development (HRD). It explains that mind training, which involves controlling emotions and having a calm mind, creates motivation, vision, and determination. However, traditional corporate HRD focuses more on brain training, or developing intelligence through knowledge. Real HRD needs a combination of both mind training and brain training to reduce gaps between appearance and reality and contribute to happiness and performance. Mind training is currently lacking in most corporate HRD programs.

1. The document discusses different perspectives on spiritual bliss or "Anantham".
2. While blissful experiences are sought after and encourage spiritual practice, Ramana Maharshi cautioned against getting attached to such experiences and to inquire "to whom do these experiences happen?".

This document discusses the brain and mind training. It covers topics like maintaining a healthy brain, the effects of substances like alcohol and drugs, and different states of mind marked by different brain wave patterns (beta, alpha, theta, delta). It includes exercises to experience mindfulness, make decisions, reflect on patterns of resistance, and use techniques like mirror neurons and emotional freedom technique to change neuronal pathways and beliefs. The overall message is on training the mind for benefits like reducing anxiety, regulating emotions, and developing concentration and self-awareness.
The term “social media” has rapidly become a standard in both web and cultural vocabulary, and the more you know about it, the better. In this topic, artist and designers has found a new way to connect with their friends and fans through social media. We will discuss on how can we leverage your works in social media and increase awareness.
This document discusses the relationship between the mind and brain from the perspective of biological psychology. It covers several key topics:
- Biological psychology studies behavior and experience through physiological, evolutionary and developmental mechanisms, with an emphasis on brain functioning.
- Explanations of behavior can be understood at multiple levels including physiological, ontogenetic, evolutionary and functional.
- The relationship between the mind and brain, known as the mind-body problem, has explanations like dualism, monism and the identity theory.
- Understanding consciousness and its link to brain activity remains challenging due to its intangible nature.
The document is a poem titled "Walking Meditation" written by Hitoshi Tsuchiyama. It consists of 6 sections where the speaker describes different actions and states of being - such as walking, touching, blooming, sitting - while in a meditative state without thinking. Each section emphasizes experiencing the present moment fully without internal mental chatter. The overall message is finding peace and freedom through mindfulness during walking meditation.
The document discusses implicate and explicate order according to Hitoshi Tsuchiyama's theory of body awareness. Implicate order refers to body (matter) enfolding into awareness (mind), while explicate order refers to awareness (mind) unfolding into body (matter). Both orders involve the phenomenal world enfolding or unfolding into the noumenal world through thinking and insight.
The document presents five meditation techniques: flower, mountain, still water, space, and sunshine. The first four are based on the teachings of Thích Nhất Hạnh and involve breathing in while visualizing being that object, then breathing out while repeating qualities of that object, such as "fresh, fresh, fresh" for flower and "solid, solid, solid" for mountain. The last meditation, sunshine, was created by the author and involves breathing in while visualizing being the sunshine, then breathing out while repeating "love, love, unconditional love" and visualizing shining love to all unconditionally.
All sufferings are caused by separations, discriminations, or duality. That's because the separation between oneself and others cause all afflictions such as fear, anger and despair. And the root cause of such separations and discriminations is thoughts and notions created by human brain. In this book, I will share the "concrete practice methods to stop thinking" and the "concrete practice methods for the extinction of all notions" and explain their details. These methods have been verified through my own experience and many of them are based on the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, namely the teachings of Buddha. It is my great pleasure if you will awaken true self, touch the wonders of life in the present moment and be filled with peace, joy and happiness through the practice.
The document discusses different levels of self-awareness - ego, temporary true self, and full time true self. Ego is the separate self that is unaware of the interdependence of happiness and suffering. Temporary true self can recognize both positive and negative phenomena but still experiences duality between birth and death. Full time true self has reached enlightenment through realizing the interdependence of all things and experiencing non-duality, resulting in ultimate peace and extinction of all notions. The evolution of humanity involves progressing from ego to temporary true self and ultimately to full time true self.
The document is Hitoshi Tsuchiyama's translation and commentary on the Heart Sutra. It explains that the Heart Sutra aims to guide readers to the non-duality of enlightenment by transcending the duality presented in the Four Noble Truths. It also discusses how interdependent co-arising can help one overcome duality and attain non-duality or emptiness.
