You said to me, the key to breaking this brick isn't strength necessarily, it's the ability to really, really focus. So can you show me you smashing this brick?

SPEAKER_2 (0:10)

Yes.

Steven Bartlett (0:14)

What?

SPEAKER_2 (0:14)

Master Sha Heng Yi is the world's most hardcore monk. He uses his decades of knowledge and techniques to help people control their minds and overcome society's biggest problems.

Shi Heng Yi (0:23)

This world is filled with so much choice that it's difficult to take a decision, which direction to go, what is right to do. And so there is a lot of suffering with the skills that you are developing through kung fu training involves methods and practices that give you the ability to do this. But there are five hindrances that make it difficult for you to still keep your goal in the mind. There is sensory desires, ill will, dullness, restlessness, and then self-doubt.

Steven Bartlett (0:48)

And to overcome the five hindrances, you recommend the Four Step Rain method.

Shi Heng Yi (0:52)

Yes, and with this, we make it super simple.

Steven Bartlett (0:55)

So many of us live in the same cycles of unhappiness and suffering.

Shi Heng Yi (1:00)

I witnessed it in my life as well, because I felt I was never enough. My father and mother put a lot of pressure in terms of, you need to prove yourself. And so I did all these types of practices and methods that made it possible to be where I am right now. I wanted recognition by my father, but it didn't happen.

Steven Bartlett (1:16)

Because your father passed away from cancer.

Shi Heng Yi (1:18)

Yeah.

Steven Bartlett (1:24)

How does one let go of that and therefore break the pattern?

Shi Heng Yi (1:27)

I will show you some practices. Number one.

Steven Bartlett (1:35)

Master Shi Heng Yi, based on everything that's happening in the world right now and the work that you've committed your life to, what is the mission that you are on and why is it so important right now?

Shi Heng Yi (1:50)

I do think that in this world, there have always been different streams, different forces, one of them leading to the betterment of humanity, one of them leading to the destruction of humanity. And I do think that there are types of wisdom and knowledge existing out there that very easily without any additional help for anything else can be very useful for the people nowadays. You know, you don't need to go anywhere. The only thing you need to do is take a moment, contemplate about yourself, go into yourself, and find the answers there, and then decide for yourself which part and what type of contribution would you like to give to the world that you're living in. I ultimately think this is what I'm doing.

Steven Bartlett (2:48)

And what is it that you see people struggling with? Because so many people write to you, they send messages to you, they come and see you. What is it that you hear they're struggling with at a fundamental level?

Shi Heng Yi (2:58)

I would say it's diversity and choice. This world is filled with so much choice, meanwhile, that it's difficult in a way to take a decision which direction to go, what is right to do, what is not right to do. But ultimately, it's only yourself who knows the answer, which means it comes to the essential point. Learn more about yourself. This is where it starts. Because if you have the wrong perspective of who you are, what you are, everything else in this lifetime, you base your decisions on is just not going to be placed in the right direction.

Steven Bartlett (3:40)

What are the other things that you hear people suffering with on a daily basis in the modern world, with the way that the world is now, it's digitalized, we're lonelier than ever, mental health seems to be surging. What are the fundamental things they say to you, or that you infer through what they're saying that they are actually struggling with? So an overload of choice and an inability to make a clear decision is number one.

Shi Heng Yi (4:03)

So being perfectly honest, I usually do not very much rely on what the people tell me, what they think, what problem they have. It's just that I look and I can see already what I think you need. And foremost, one of these, and it's very simple, non-religious, nothing about believing. It simply is the fact you don't use your body as it is intended to be. Very simple. Yeah, you sit, many people sit too much during the day. The body is not active at all. A lot of work, a lot of energy investment is done with the mind. Less energy investment is done really with the body. And that simply means for me, I can see there's a disbalance.
