WEBVTT 00:00:10.882 --> 00:00:18.141 - I want to thank everybody for coming. Geshe Kaldun is a Geshe from Dweplam-Losling Monastery. And he 00:00:18.141 --> 00:00:25.400 - also studied at Gyutur-Tantrik Monastery. And then about, oh, 18, 19 years ago, he came to Canada to 00:00:25.400 --> 00:00:32.802 - live. And so he's part of Zazabimche's group of centers. And he goes to different ones of Zazabimche's 00:00:32.802 --> 00:00:39.486 - centers to teach. And that's why he's here. Zazabimche is one of our two spiritual advisors. 00:00:40.258 --> 00:00:46.995 - Geshe-va is going to teach on the hundreds of Deities of the Land of Joy for the first three days. And 00:00:46.995 --> 00:00:53.536 - then on the last two days, so that'd be today and then Monday and Tuesday. And then on Thursday and 00:00:53.536 --> 00:01:00.470 - Friday, he'll give two days of teaching on Lamrim, which is like the foundation. And we're very fortunate 00:01:00.470 --> 00:01:08.254 - because the hundreds of Deities is kind of like the root practice of the glupa, and it's a good purification practice. 00:01:08.578 --> 00:01:18.474 - And we're very fortunate to have such a qualified master here to give us these wonderful teachings. 00:01:18.474 --> 00:01:28.470 - So I want to thank you all for coming. So we're trying to get something that I talk about very well. 00:01:28.470 --> 00:01:38.366 - I try to talk a little more high. So I know I want to say thank you to my sister. I'm really happy. 00:01:40.546 --> 00:01:50.113 - and also very proud. Because today I want to talk a little bit, not for the long, no, a little part 00:01:50.113 --> 00:02:00.062 - of my mind anyway. I'm not talking about Sankara Pasadena. Today I just want to talk a little bit about 00:02:00.062 --> 00:02:09.246 - the general, with the general. Next general also talk a little bit about the... Hi. Good? Yeah. 00:02:09.858 --> 00:02:31.517 - Hello. That's the microphone for the camera. Oh, I see. So I want to say thank you for all of you. Because 00:02:31.517 --> 00:02:39.006 - you are together, to share together, 00:02:39.810 --> 00:02:46.997 - So I want to talk a little bit about the dharma, what the dharma mean. So how the dharmas work out, 00:02:46.997 --> 00:02:54.471 - how the dharma practice. So what's the meaning of the dharma, how we practice the dharma. But actually, 00:02:54.471 --> 00:03:01.873 - basically, I believe, I'm sure all of you know already, I don't need too much detail talking about the 00:03:01.873 --> 00:03:07.550 - dharma. But still, I'd like to talk a little bit about dharma, because myself, 00:03:08.162 --> 00:03:15.363 - started a long time, but I still am talking to myself about what the Dharma is, how I use the Dharma, 00:03:15.363 --> 00:03:22.706 - what is the Dharma me, what does the Dharma mean, how does the Dharma help. So don't think that we talk 00:03:22.706 --> 00:03:29.907 - a little bit. And then if you can't hear properly, because if I talk a little low, then you could let 00:03:29.907 --> 00:03:35.838 - me know, it's not too clear, because then it is a few days for a week, it's not too 00:03:36.322 --> 00:03:45.079 - Not too many days, but still I'm very happy. So as much as I can to talk about the Lama Tsongkhapa Sadhana, 00:03:45.079 --> 00:03:53.673 - Gautam Laja is wonderful. Then also maybe today, as much as you can, talk a little bit about the laundry. 00:03:53.673 --> 00:04:01.619 - And I'm not going to talk too much. I want to say to all of you, we're going to have it together. 00:04:01.619 --> 00:04:04.862 - We'll pray. We'll practice it together. 00:04:05.026 --> 00:04:10.967 - We were talking, understanding each, you know, to help each. The most important, like, so we are the 00:04:10.967 --> 00:04:17.144 - Dhamma, we are Dhamma brother, Dhamma sister, you know, we are. So no, no, we're not a different person. 00:04:17.144 --> 00:04:23.144 - We look different, a different nationality, different country, different names, eh? But we're all the 00:04:23.144 --> 00:04:28.732 - same, we may be. We're all the same feeling, which I have feeling, you have feeling, you know? 00:04:28.732 --> 00:04:33.438 - And so I feel, all of us, we should be happy. I don't want to suffer, you know? 00:04:33.666 --> 00:04:41.724 - And so try to make it happy, something that's going to help you. So that call will help if you want 00:04:41.724 --> 00:04:49.782 - to share it. Try to have the motivation. The motivation is more important. And also, you all have a 00:04:49.782 --> 00:04:57.598 - wonderful, good motivation. If you don't have a motivation, then you won't be together to share. 00:04:57.598 --> 00:04:59.774 - And also, like the worker. 00:04:59.970 --> 00:05:07.039 - and all of our senior members, all of you work together, it's very happy, very appreciative for Dharma, 00:05:07.039 --> 00:05:13.700 - you know? Because we all, each of you work together for Dharma. We not work together not for the, 00:05:13.700 --> 00:05:20.837 - you know, for the name or not for the money, you know? You come back together to share, to work together 00:05:20.837 --> 00:05:28.382 - for Dharma. Dharma is one of the, I could say, you know, that one of our teachers said, Dharma is best friend. 00:05:29.378 --> 00:05:36.307 - Dhamma is a really best friend. So we're going to talk a little bit about Dhamma today, and then how 00:05:36.307 --> 00:05:43.305 - the Dhamma starts, what does Dhamma mean. So we'll start from there. And then I want to say something 00:05:43.305 --> 00:05:50.303 - like at the beginning, a little prayer, just to show to pray for the take refuge. And then the prayer 00:05:50.303 --> 00:05:56.478 - for the take refuge for successful for the world, successful for the Dhamma practitioner. 00:05:56.834 --> 00:06:02.808 - So that would have been that kind of tradition. Buddha said that before anything to do, you meditate 00:06:02.808 --> 00:06:08.841 - your home. Before you go, not that I had to go meditate and to take some refuge, you know. It's good. 00:06:08.841 --> 00:06:15.110 - Refugee? Refugee is good. One day I was, I don't know, somewhere I forgot. And I talked about the refuge. 00:06:15.110 --> 00:06:21.439 - Buddha, Dharma, Sangha said that we have to go refuge to dead. He said that one day God said, no, actually 00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.574 - I don't need to go refuge. I'm not a refugee person. 00:06:24.930 --> 00:06:31.747 - I'm not a refugee being. You know, I have an independent. I have my own country. So then I think you're 00:06:31.747 --> 00:06:38.367 - right, you know? And everybody, except me, I'm not on the home independent. I'm still a refugee. But 00:06:38.367 --> 00:06:45.185 - that's still not the power, because I'm still a refugee to the, you know, Guru, Buddha, Dharma, Sangha. 00:06:45.185 --> 00:06:50.494 - But I'm not qualified, which they have qualified, which they have kind of power. 00:06:50.850 --> 00:06:58.401 - So refugee means I don't like to say, OK, I don't have alms in my country. Please, Buddha, help me. 00:06:58.401 --> 00:07:06.104 - No, no, talk about that. Refuge means to take refuge, to get in. Refuge make what you call to develop 00:07:06.104 --> 00:07:13.655 - our merit karma. You know merit karma? Merit karma. So that's called it. Each time you take refuge, 00:07:13.655 --> 00:07:19.998 - you get stronger your merit karma. And also, refuge is helpful to have a protector. 00:07:20.194 --> 00:07:27.832 - You know, protect obstacles, hindrance, those that help. Like I say, that's really how. A lot of people 00:07:27.832 --> 00:07:35.617 - help. You take a refugee. If you take a refugee, there's no any, like, interruption, no any, like, being, 00:07:35.617 --> 00:07:42.962 - unbeing. So that kind of, a lot of obstacles will help. You know, so that is why refugees make more 00:07:42.962 --> 00:07:49.278 - success, more happier. Even, like I say, people has nightmare, can't sleep very well. 00:07:49.410 --> 00:07:55.948 - that before you're sleeping, before you go to bed, take the three times the rapiji before sleeping. 00:07:55.948 --> 00:08:03.141 - It's so really comfortable. And also you could say to buy a rapiji, take the mantra of the Buddha compassion. 00:08:03.141 --> 00:08:09.679 - And I will look it in short. So, so most people they do. Take a rapiji. Then after that, before you 00:08:09.679 --> 00:08:16.414 - sleep, and then a couple, the mantra, you know, oma nipa in your home. So that will really help a lot. 00:08:17.154 --> 00:08:25.423 - So that's called a dharma, just a part of a dharma. We recite mantra, that's a dharma practice. We chant 00:08:25.423 --> 00:08:33.613 - in the sadhana, that's a dharma practice. Dharma called Sanskrit word. So dharma also they call, dharma 00:08:33.613 --> 00:08:41.567 - meant dharana. Dharana meant holding. Sanskrit word, dharana, muji, dharanakarna. Dharanakarna means 00:08:41.567 --> 00:08:43.614 - pleased to hold, to help. 00:08:44.002 --> 00:08:51.534 - So the holding from where? What do you mean, why you need to hold? Yeah, I need to hold. I need to hold. 00:08:51.534 --> 00:08:59.209 - I don't want to make it fall into the suffering life, into the lower world. So that way, we have a chance. 00:08:59.209 --> 00:09:06.525 - We could make it. We could survive. We could survive by our own. We could survive for the other being 00:09:06.525 --> 00:09:12.766 - to becoming not the falling negative side, negative mind. So negative mind to becoming 00:09:13.058 --> 00:09:19.338 - to the lower world. So maybe talk on the, when they allow me, one day I will talk a little for the, 00:09:19.338 --> 00:09:25.680 - what does that happen, how is the suffering to the lower world, what does it mean, you know? We need 00:09:25.680 --> 00:09:32.022 - to know a little bit. If you really does not know that people are not scared, you know, because see, 00:09:32.022 --> 00:09:38.490 - that's the road, very dangerous, but you need to know how it's dangerous. There's two roads, two ways. 00:09:38.490 --> 00:09:41.630 - One was very bad, very dangerous, don't go there. 00:09:41.794 --> 00:09:48.902 - But we need to know. We just say, oh, that's bad. What's bad? We don't know. At least we need to know 00:09:48.902 --> 00:09:56.219 - what kind of bad. Can look at the dip or whatever. How is it dangerous? So that, we call that. We talked 00:09:56.219 --> 00:10:03.397 - in the last three days for the Lauri. People were talking a little bit about all those negativity. How 00:10:03.397 --> 00:10:10.644 - is it living? How are the traditions? How are the conditions to the lower world? So they're much easier 00:10:10.644 --> 00:10:11.550 - to practice. 00:10:11.906 --> 00:10:18.779 - more stronger because, oh, I know if I don't do it, maybe I'll fall, maybe reborn in there. Then if 00:10:18.779 --> 00:10:25.720 - you don't know suffering, but I don't know what is the tradition, what is the situation, then people 00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:32.593 - know to be scared, you know? So that's why, before we talk, we'll talk a little bit about that. And 00:10:32.593 --> 00:10:36.510 - that's for a day or two days, we'll talk about that one. 00:10:36.738 --> 00:10:45.266 - So today I'm going to talk a little Dharma, how was the Dharma practice, how was the way each of us 00:10:45.266 --> 00:10:53.964 - have, how was the appreciation. I all appreciate myself. I'm very proud, very happy. I appreciate the 00:10:53.964 --> 00:10:59.166 - Buddha, Dharma, Sangha. So we're very, you know, very proud. 00:11:05.890 --> 00:11:11.646 - Yeah, I remember a few people coming by door. 00:11:36.290 --> 00:11:43.501 - So we're going to start the talk about the Dharma. Before I start the talk, I want to take some of the 00:11:43.501 --> 00:11:50.572 - refugee treatise. So then we're going to start. So I'm not talking about reading the Tibetan. Take a 00:11:50.572 --> 00:11:57.783 - long time. Take a little Sanskrit one. Namanguru biya. OK? So keep, if you ask much you can, write the 00:11:57.783 --> 00:12:04.574 - motivation. Because we have, we came over here. We have brought a sister for practice of Dharma. 00:12:05.186 --> 00:12:11.642 - This benefit for the world peace, benefit for the all being. Not only benefit, we came here. Not only 00:12:11.642 --> 00:12:17.719 - benefit for our own, you know. It is. But if you keep the right motivation, more benefit, Lord. 00:12:17.719 --> 00:12:24.175 - More benefit. Because we came here, we prayed together. We wish the world peace. We wish everybody to 00:12:24.175 --> 00:12:31.011 - be happy, you know. That's called good motivation. So then, when, Lord, you're talking to how, why wouldn't 00:12:31.011 --> 00:12:34.366 - you take it? Why are we talking about all the world? 00:12:34.466 --> 00:12:40.561 - while we're thinking for all the mother beings. So we're talking about how it is and how they're dead. 00:12:40.561 --> 00:12:46.774 - And we're talking about the seventh stage apart. And we're talking about the seventh stage apart because 00:12:46.774 --> 00:12:52.692 - of the tobacco law. And the legal end of the renunciation, three principles apart. But renunciation 00:12:52.692 --> 00:12:58.668 - is the most important. So then they call it the seventh stage apart, different levels, seven levels. 00:12:58.668 --> 00:13:01.982 - And then it becomes impossible to become a bodhisattva. 00:13:02.882 --> 00:13:10.386 - Bodhisattva is good, eh? So that is the calm of how we become a bodhisattva. That's what we do in the 00:13:10.386 --> 00:13:17.890 - nest for a few days. So today we talk a little bit about that. I mean, many of them, how we practice, 00:13:17.890 --> 00:13:25.395 - and how we, you know, and doing what we're talking. Before we talk, we're going to take us on to meet 00:13:25.395 --> 00:13:28.926 - with the refugees and go to Bodhidharma Sangha. 00:13:29.154 --> 00:13:36.367 - So when you're a refugee, when you say the word, you say, wishing, all the wishing to be world peace. 00:13:36.367 --> 00:13:43.438 - All the wishing no one to be suffering. All the wishing that each of us have a happy long life. All 00:13:43.438 --> 00:13:50.862 - the wishing for Dharma teaching to stay forever. Dharma teaching to stay forever. But we say our Dharma, 00:13:50.862 --> 00:13:58.782 - our own Dharma, you know? So Dharma still put all the time there, you know? Because the Buddha's there already. 00:13:59.170 --> 00:14:08.737 - But they say, I want my dharma to get strong, which is the Buddha Dharma Sangha and Guru helped me. 00:14:08.737 --> 00:14:18.590 - And I want to keep my dharma posture forever until I, you know, so that we will pray, OK? That's good. 00:16:37.282 --> 00:16:51.386 - It's a Dharma business. We'll start a Dharma business. So Dharma, Sanskrit word. And also in the community, 00:16:51.386 --> 00:17:04.444 - they call it dharana. Dharana means holding. So Dharma hold for our positive karma. Dharma hold our 00:17:04.444 --> 00:17:06.142 - opportunity. 00:17:07.202 --> 00:17:13.952 - And Dhamma holds the title now to reborn into the three lower world. So that was the Dhamma. Dhamma 00:17:13.952 --> 00:17:21.241 - means dharana. So Dhamma means like the teaching, like the Buddha Dhamma and the Buddha teaching. Christian 00:17:21.241 --> 00:17:28.328 - Dhamma and the Christian teaching. Hindu Dhamma. Dhamma means the teaching, you know. So Buddha talking. 00:17:28.328 --> 00:17:35.550 - Buddha talk a lot. Buddha talk that when he become the, and also work like the Buddhism. Buddhism believe. 00:17:36.450 --> 00:17:43.780 - They believe, they don't believe, because the Buddha just come very much automatically, very special, 00:17:43.780 --> 00:17:51.110 - very pure person. Buddha Shakyamuni for example, Shakyamuni Buddha was just a princess, you know. But 00:17:51.110 --> 00:17:58.008 - that he becoming grow up, he practice, then become he understand all completely. Then he, which 00:17:58.008 --> 00:18:03.326 - he understand, which he did. So then he show us. So they call the Dharma. 00:18:03.874 --> 00:18:12.783 - Dharma means practice. So Dharma means to try to save. What can we save? What are we supposed to do? 00:18:12.783 --> 00:18:21.869 - So what does that mean to Dharma? Dharma help. One of the teachers said, Dharma is like a good friend. 00:18:21.869 --> 00:18:30.690 - A good friend because when we need Dharma there, when we're sick, Dharma there. Dharma protect you. 00:18:30.690 --> 00:18:32.190 - Dharma help you. 00:18:32.290 --> 00:18:39.029 - Dhamma tries to make the, you know, without the Dhamma, it's something very hard. Really hard. The Dhamma 00:18:39.029 --> 00:18:45.069 - show, like the Dhamma make the Dhamma show to us, Dhamma make show to you the, what they call, 00:18:45.069 --> 00:18:51.617 - social life. Dhamma show to you the how we're dealing with people. You know, that's really help a lot. 00:18:51.617 --> 00:18:58.166 - Especially Dhamma show the social life, you know. As the Dhamma said, all the Dhamma talk with all the 00:18:58.166 --> 00:19:01.726 - beings, we're all the same. We're all the same feeling. 00:19:02.402 --> 00:19:10.259 - So even like I say for myself, I don't mean I don't have too much dharma, but I have a little bit. But 00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:17.963 - it really helps a lot. Little dharma, little help. And then because of labor, we left our country in 00:19:17.963 --> 00:19:25.743 - 1959. So when our family left. So then we come back to the different country in India. So then I come 00:19:25.743 --> 00:19:31.998 - back in the West. So when we came to India, then two of the good friends of mine, 00:19:32.322 --> 00:19:41.245 - There's a monk. He's a good person, but they don't practice them very much, just the monk. They don't 00:19:41.245 --> 00:19:50.081 - practice very much. So then they came back. In India, both were becoming what they call sick, almost 00:19:50.081 --> 00:19:59.004 - like the damage they bring. Then they were put in the mental hospital. It doesn't work very much, not 00:19:59.004 --> 00:19:59.966 - much help. 00:20:00.610 --> 00:20:07.084 - Because he said he's so angry, so sad. Why did China, China do to all of this? Why we took it, you know, 00:20:07.084 --> 00:20:13.126 - with everything we left, there's a cry. They're not trying to talk, no, don't, because it's okay. 00:20:13.126 --> 00:20:19.476 - We go, we could go back, you know, don't worry about that. Because this is a karma. I can't talk about 00:20:19.476 --> 00:20:25.642 - this, a karma that he don't follow. I mean, he understand it. He follow, but he don't understand it 00:20:25.642 --> 00:20:28.478 - properly, what does karma mean, you know? So, 00:20:28.770 --> 00:20:35.513 - So those things really help. If something happens, something like your sadness, that might help. Something 00:20:35.513 --> 00:20:41.941 - like that happens, something we're losing, something like that, you know, our fortunes go up and down 00:20:41.941 --> 00:20:48.559 - all of us, you know. Our fortune not to stay all over the sand. Like the fortune, something go up, where 00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:54.987 - something little bit go down. That's natural, you know. So that's what we apply to the Dharma. It was 00:20:54.987 --> 00:20:55.806 - our fortune. 00:20:56.194 --> 00:21:03.490 - Part of good fortune is to stay more, more what they call stable. So that they have too. So Dhamma make 00:21:03.490 --> 00:21:10.084 - the fortune get more stable, fortune get more stronger, more higher. So that called Dhammadu. 00:21:10.084 --> 00:21:17.099 - What is the why? How Dhamma, how make the fortune get up? How is Dhamma doing? Because Dhamma call, 00:21:17.099 --> 00:21:22.430 - Dhamma make Buddha teaching. We talk Buddha Dhamma, right? Buddha teaching. 00:21:22.978 --> 00:21:31.756 - So Buddha told that he showed us how the antidote, antidote, you know, if you're angry, what the Buddha 00:21:31.756 --> 00:21:40.281 - said, if you're angry, what is what you do. You know, I'm angry, he might go punch it up his nose or 00:21:40.281 --> 00:21:49.566 - he's not good. You get more trouble, more angry. So that Buddha showed, if you're angry, what is what you do. 00:21:49.826 --> 00:21:56.605 - So they call all the antidote, and each one of the opposite will come to show that one. That's kind 00:21:56.605 --> 00:22:03.655 - of very clear, Buddha took it so clear. If you confused what it was supposed to do, where did the anger 00:22:03.655 --> 00:22:11.045 - come from, where, who made it, how it was made it. So the Buddha talked, the basic call they call beginning. 00:22:11.045 --> 00:22:18.366 - In the front, they call it Mashi Mokpa. Tumma Maripa. Tumma Maripa. Maripa meant they call, what they call, 00:22:18.466 --> 00:22:25.393 - Because they're delusions, you know? It's not too good to say, but you don't mind it, eh? Well, in the 00:22:25.393 --> 00:22:32.186 - beginning, it will happen. The longer you have a big delusion, then they come, become confused. That 00:22:32.186 --> 00:22:39.248 - you don't know. By delusion, then they're confused now. When you're confused, you do something different 00:22:39.248 --> 00:22:46.108 - way. Then start attachment. By attachment, they come angrily. If you don't attach it, then there's no 00:22:46.108 --> 00:22:48.126 - anger at all. So anger comes. 00:22:48.418 --> 00:22:55.943 - by that touch. So then I start to anger, then you start to attach, then they call, then start very angry, 00:22:55.943 --> 00:23:03.326 - you know. Then they say, oh, I hate, you know, I hate her, I hate him. That's very dangerous, you know. 00:23:03.326 --> 00:23:10.496 - You hate it so bad. If you hate something, that you miss, you have the opportunity or positive karma 00:23:10.496 --> 00:23:14.046 - to wash out, you know. So that's why it's hard to 00:23:14.690 --> 00:23:21.304 - Yeah, I couldn't believe I had to see it. I don't need to see it anywhere. So negative karma, negative 00:23:21.304 --> 00:23:27.725 - karma get stronger, the positive automatically weaker. So that we try to make the positive mind get 00:23:27.725 --> 00:23:33.633 - stronger, the positive karma. So then the negative mind get more, automatically get weaker. 00:23:33.633 --> 00:23:40.119 - So they say, it used to be like, say, for us, we used to die in very short time, but I'm not talking 00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.302 - about some people said, you know. 00:23:42.402 --> 00:23:49.108 - You know, hey, Lama, I said, Lama, help, you know? Before I practice the Dharma, I'd be very short-tempered. 00:23:49.108 --> 00:23:55.383 - Now it's not too bad. If you talk to me, it's good. It's true, you know? Yeah. Before I was like the, 00:23:55.383 --> 00:24:01.596 - before I started meditation, like the, you know, kind of feeling really different, you know, really. 00:24:01.596 --> 00:24:07.994 - So I got very much so, most like this, you know, selfishness, eh? I is number one. I need more success, 00:24:07.994 --> 00:24:11.870 - eh? That's all that you think of. Mine's number one, you know? 00:24:12.418 --> 00:24:20.377 - But why do you think I already come? When you practice the Dharma, then you could make it called equanimity. 00:24:20.377 --> 00:24:27.897 - Equanimity, equanimity. It's not easy to say, not too easy to do. But the easy could do, like say, you 00:24:27.897 --> 00:24:35.199 - could talk on your own. You think on your own. You think on your own. Why do you need to talk about 00:24:35.199 --> 00:24:40.894 - equanimity? Equanimity, equanimity, equanimity, for all human beings. So how? 00:24:41.698 --> 00:24:47.417 - They just said, better talk, better do talking to punch your finger for yourself. Not all of us are 00:24:47.417 --> 00:24:53.307 - there, you know. Or she don't know, he's bad, I think, not only that, you know. So something they just 00:24:53.307 --> 00:24:59.197 - said about that talking. Once in a while, not all of the time, you know. Once in a while just talking, 00:24:59.197 --> 00:25:04.973 - oh, what I did. Actually, I don't something wrong. I support not using like the harsh words, because 00:25:04.973 --> 00:25:10.864 - the harsh words are really bad. We're all in that because of those three doors, the tobacco, you know, 00:25:10.864 --> 00:25:11.550 - you assume. 00:25:11.970 --> 00:25:18.786 - three doors, body, speech, mind. That was the three doors. Whatever we're doing, action, good or bad, 00:25:18.786 --> 00:25:25.468 - all these are by three. So that's why we had to be, we had to be there to look after, before you're 00:25:25.468 --> 00:25:32.284 - talking, what you're going to say, you know, before you're thinking, say, before you're, you know, in 00:25:32.284 --> 00:25:37.630 - the mind. That's called the lima, body, speech, mind. So that kind of very much 00:25:37.826 --> 00:25:45.300 - I think that's a very basic subject, basic topic. So we could watch somebody using how you practice, 00:25:45.300 --> 00:25:52.774 - how you're not going to stop your too much, what do you call it, harsh words. Some people don't have 00:25:52.774 --> 00:26:00.396 - it. Now you could be thanking somebody harsh words to you. So you just see how I feel. They talk about 00:26:00.396 --> 00:26:05.502 - it. And Buddha said, that's what I like very much. One of the, yeah. 00:26:05.602 --> 00:26:14.660 - It's hard to deal with. It's easy to say, no, I'm not using the harsh word because it's not good for 00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:23.808 - the people. You can't say, well, like that. It's not too easy. Then you just say, for example, in the 00:26:23.808 --> 00:26:32.777 - rest of our self, it's more important that somebody use very bad word, harsh word, to me. So how do 00:26:32.777 --> 00:26:35.198 - I feel? I feel very awful. 00:26:36.194 --> 00:26:42.175 - Some try to do new, you know, really hard like that, you know. It's very hard luck. If I think, 00:26:42.175 --> 00:26:48.404 - you know, I was good, and some people look at the harsh way, you're kind of crazy, you look stupid, 00:26:48.404 --> 00:26:54.634 - you look bad, eh? So those people talk to me, they don't know reason. If they talk to me like that, 00:26:54.634 --> 00:27:01.051 - then I'll be sad. So that's what you're thinking about. Some people talk to me, to how I feel. So then 00:27:01.051 --> 00:27:02.110 - I feel very bad. 00:27:02.370 --> 00:27:09.630 - If you feel bad, if you use it for other people, is that the people feel bad too? So that's kind of 00:27:09.630 --> 00:27:17.035 - the good technique, kind of good practice. You have to stop to the harsh world. If you don't think of 00:27:17.035 --> 00:27:24.512 - your own, then always the green kind of habit. It's OK. I can do it. It's my habit. Anyway, let it go. 00:27:24.512 --> 00:27:32.062 - I like to talk, you know, kind of bad thinking. Then they said, OK. Then they said, if you're thinking, 00:27:33.058 --> 00:27:40.327 - to look at your thing or something that I talk to me. There's no reason. If I see the talker, you're 00:27:40.327 --> 00:27:47.812 - a cheater, you're bad, I think. You really hurt a lot, you know? So then if I use for the other, that's 00:27:47.812 --> 00:27:55.008 - called part of Dharma practice, good one. Okay, so from tomorrow, from now, I don't use any kind of 00:27:55.008 --> 00:28:00.766 - bad word, harsh word, because people heard. If I heard, they broke their heart. 00:28:01.058 --> 00:28:07.970 - And they're damaged for their own opportunity. Because my word is bad, due to my word, bad word, that 00:28:07.970 --> 00:28:15.086 - people start to hurt. Then the certain people hurt that people make that develop a negativity, you know? 00:28:15.086 --> 00:28:22.202 - Because the reason which I use my harsh word. So that's the same thing some people do to me, harsh word. 00:28:22.202 --> 00:28:29.182 - So if I change, if I could do like, you know, it's OK. You know, that's going to happen. It's OK. It's 00:28:29.182 --> 00:28:30.334 - just a word, eh? 00:28:30.850 --> 00:28:37.447 - And that talk to me like that. That's okay. He or she talk to me already, harsh words. It doesn't matter. 00:28:37.447 --> 00:28:43.732 - I can't take it away. I don't know. I don't know. So that may be something reason, something happen. 00:28:43.732 --> 00:28:49.956 - Then they call a Buddha talk, you know, for the, why those are the harsh words? Why does it in that 00:28:49.956 --> 00:28:56.490 - negative mind come? Right? That talk, that Buddha talk started for the Four Noble Truths, eh? Four Noble 00:28:56.490 --> 00:28:58.046 - Truths start from there. 00:28:58.722 --> 00:29:05.594 - why this all happened to come, all this negativity to come, a lot of it is used to you, if you're, you 00:29:05.594 --> 00:29:12.667 - hurt a lot with the suffering, that kind of suffering, right? If you're not happy, unhappy, the suffering 00:29:12.667 --> 00:29:19.539 - too, you know. And suffering like the physical pain, that of course naturally suffering, you know. But 00:29:19.539 --> 00:29:22.942 - there's more suffering than the mind is suffering. 00:29:23.138 --> 00:29:30.201 - Mind is not happy. Mind is too much, you know, open the door, too much, which you wish it doesn't come, 00:29:30.201 --> 00:29:37.059 - you're a lot of suffering. Which you're thinking, but tomorrow I'll be listen. It doesn't come right 00:29:37.059 --> 00:29:43.579 - away that you're suffering. So then the Buddha talk about the sufferings, how the suffering is, 00:29:43.579 --> 00:29:50.505 - you know. Why the suffering come? Who made it? Devil? No, devil don't make a suffering to us. So this 00:29:50.505 --> 00:29:53.086 - is the suffering that demand our own. 00:29:53.730 --> 00:30:01.125 - How is my own? They call it suffering by cause. And by cause, that kind of result, which depends on 00:30:01.125 --> 00:30:08.372 - your cause. It depends on what you're doing. Today, we're doing like that very much, comfortable, 00:30:08.372 --> 00:30:15.841 - more social, more try to help people, no argument, something to give up or something. Because before 00:30:15.841 --> 00:30:22.718 - you sleep, you feel so good. You feel really comfortable. Then you just say you're checking. 00:30:22.818 --> 00:30:29.015 - part of the Dharma practice, really was important. Because they said that when they're talking, I think 00:30:29.015 --> 00:30:34.974 - the Mala Deva said, too, you know, you should check once a day before from morning till when you go 00:30:34.974 --> 00:30:41.231 - to sleep. Before you go to sleep, you should check each day, what's the day today, what I did, you know, 00:30:41.231 --> 00:30:47.727 - this morning, 10 o'clock, 12 o'clock, afternoon, whatever, till now. So then if you check, there's something 00:30:47.727 --> 00:30:48.382 - found out. 00:30:49.250 --> 00:31:01.395 - If you found something, maybe I'll do something that's done later on in this morning, a little argument, 00:31:01.395 --> 00:31:12.383 - whatever. So if you're not done, then you'll be rejoicing. That's wonderful. Then you can say, 00:31:12.383 --> 00:31:15.390 - make my day. Make my day. 00:31:15.554 --> 00:31:22.528 - It's not much like what's called gene bombs. It's good, man. So you could check, you know, before you're 00:31:22.528 --> 00:31:29.303 - sleeping, how is a good day or not a good day. If you don't take it, you're not the record. You'll be 00:31:29.303 --> 00:31:36.210 - forgotten. OK, from morning, just thinking about what I did in the morning, 10 o'clock, afternoon, day, 00:31:36.210 --> 00:31:42.918 - evening, till now. If nothing's not wrong, you'll be rejoicing. It'll be wonderful. Oh, that's good. 00:31:42.918 --> 00:31:44.446 - A wonderful, good day. 00:31:44.578 --> 00:31:51.872 - So this is a good day, this is a kind of good karma, this is a benefit for the whole life. Then you 00:31:51.872 --> 00:31:59.312 - could make a witturi josee, then you could tibakula ngowa, ngowa means to pray, wishing, kind of like 00:31:59.312 --> 00:32:06.606 - I don't know what, this benefit for the result come to the whole mother being. The result I wish to 00:32:06.606 --> 00:32:10.910 - come to the world of peace. All people want to have peace. 00:32:11.330 --> 00:32:17.445 - So that wish to be done could make it really make good day. So that color, that color both are talking 00:32:17.445 --> 00:32:23.619 - all these Four Noble Truths, you know. Four Noble Truths, how? Why they started about it? Because there 00:32:23.619 --> 00:32:29.674 - were a lot of suffering, you know. There were a lot of suffering, like the physicals. They still have 00:32:29.674 --> 00:32:36.027 - a mind, you know, that's more harder. The physicals, okay, not too bad. You could go down to put something 00:32:36.027 --> 00:32:37.214 - else in, it's okay. 00:32:37.858 --> 00:32:46.937 - But the mind is really hard. The mind is suffering, you can't show the doctor, and you can't do very 00:32:46.937 --> 00:32:56.196 - much. So that was what the Buddha talked in, the suffering, coming by cost, you know, cessation, limit 00:32:56.196 --> 00:33:04.466 - of cost. So then the cost couldn't end, it would never end. The most of the costs, I think, 00:33:04.466 --> 00:33:06.174 - were by the, yeah, 00:33:06.722 --> 00:33:12.910 - There's something called by a cause and also what you call a condition, right? Condition. Typically, 00:33:12.910 --> 00:33:19.036 - a jewel. Jewel and a chain. Chain and a condition, right? Condition. Something like that. Something 00:33:19.036 --> 00:33:25.162 - they'll come to together. Then America will start asking, doing things they can't. So that's called 00:33:25.162 --> 00:33:31.411 - a cause. By the something you're hitting, you're shooting, you're hurting people, there is no to come 00:33:31.411 --> 00:33:36.190 - back. Not the right way. Sooner or later, they'll come back. So that's called 00:33:36.354 --> 00:33:43.166 - that we talk about part of the karma, you know, karma commission, karma, you know, karma, causal karma, 00:33:43.166 --> 00:33:49.781 - so wonderful. So, so then what is for to do? You know, they have something account, something happen 00:33:49.781 --> 00:33:56.461 - for me, what's for to do? So the Buddha talk of cessation, part of badaya. In the fourth noble truth, 00:33:56.461 --> 00:34:03.208 - the last two years, the really dharma, the really dharma, you know, Buddha dharma, dharmas that is the 00:34:03.208 --> 00:34:04.190 - good teaching. 00:34:05.218 --> 00:34:12.878 - So dharma is one of the main object of the refugee. Dharma is. So dharma called, okay, so they call 00:34:12.878 --> 00:34:20.538 - a cessation path of body, it destroys really dharma. How is it a dharma? How? They call a cessation 00:34:20.538 --> 00:34:28.581 - when you stop, right? If you have something problem or something wrong, you have to stop. I think that's 00:34:28.581 --> 00:34:33.790 - a good answer, but I had some experience when I came to Canada, 74. 00:34:34.562 --> 00:34:40.615 - So that was, I know very little English. Other men now I know a lot, but not better than before, 00:34:40.615 --> 00:34:47.043 - I'm sure. It is a very better thing, you know. And others are very complicated. When I came to Canada, 00:34:47.043 --> 00:34:52.222 - kind of this, kind of really true story. You know, I'm kind of funny story anyway. 00:34:52.610 --> 00:34:59.349 - That was 1974. In 1975, I was kind of in, I don't know, something happened, maybe food or, actually 00:34:59.349 --> 00:35:06.357 - just a way, a way, maybe something, egg and a breakfast, something happened. I was really pain, I can't 00:35:06.357 --> 00:35:13.298 - breathe, something wrong, you know, really so pain a lot. So then a friend of mine, I called my friend 00:35:13.298 --> 00:35:19.902 - of mine, he came, he went to the hospital. The hospital, yeah, a small hospital, went over there. 00:35:20.162 --> 00:35:25.931 - Then they check in the emergency room, went to check, and they took a lot of x-rays, you know? A lot 00:35:25.931 --> 00:35:31.643 - of x-rays here and there, you know? I was scared, you know? I never had x-rays when India and Tibet 00:35:31.643 --> 00:35:37.356 - would never help. It was kind of scary, you know? Mission, big mission. Oh, what did they do to me? 00:35:37.356 --> 00:35:43.068 - They took a lot of x-rays. And they came back, and then they gave me something called a painkiller, 00:35:43.068 --> 00:35:48.894 - you know? There's not much pain. There's something to drink here. It was good. So then after an hour, 00:35:49.026 --> 00:35:55.176 - Almost 45 minutes when the doctor came. There was not only one doctor. There were three or four doctors 00:35:55.176 --> 00:36:01.150 - and three or four nurses. All came, you know. And one of the doctors, he said, hey, mister, you need 00:36:01.150 --> 00:36:07.123 - to do right away. Do right away the operation. And what's wrong? What do you find out? Then he said, 00:36:07.123 --> 00:36:13.214 - you have a ghost on. I thought it was a ghost, right? I was scared, you know. I said, oh, my goodness. 00:36:13.634 --> 00:36:23.197 - I answered, ghost, I heard the ghost. And I said, how, how can't the ghost in my time? My daddy said, 00:36:23.197 --> 00:36:32.573 - no, no, no ghost, ghost town. My daddy is very good. He said, no, no mister, not ghost, ghost town. 00:36:32.573 --> 00:36:42.043 - It's still hard, I don't know what you mean. What did the ghost mean? Oh yeah, ghost town is kind of 00:36:42.043 --> 00:36:43.262 - like a rock. 00:36:43.746 --> 00:36:59.262 - And I said, I don't understand what you mean. I never ate rock. That's true, you know, I never ate rock. 00:36:59.522 --> 00:37:06.742 - That's your right, Mr. Nobody eat rock, you know? So then what it come from? Where? The rock coming 00:37:06.742 --> 00:37:14.396 - by the food, the water, and you can think it be coming. Small, small rock, then clutter, then it's stuck, 00:37:14.396 --> 00:37:21.761 - you know? If you don't operation, not longer than one month, in one month you're going to die. So you 00:37:21.761 --> 00:37:29.342 - don't want to die, right? No, I'm not die come here. I came to Canada to die, I'm not, you know? Anyway. 00:37:29.634 --> 00:37:35.234 - So then he said, do it right away. No, I'm not doing it right away. I'll come back tomorrow. I'll come 00:37:35.234 --> 00:37:40.671 - back home. Because just came back from India, I had some very special holy prayers from Dalai Lama, 00:37:40.671 --> 00:37:46.108 - from Tujuan Rinpoche, which are so special, you know, holy prayers. We call them holy prayers, huh? 00:37:46.108 --> 00:37:51.599 - Special things. And then I came back home. I was scared. I don't want to die in a month, you know? I 00:37:51.599 --> 00:37:53.502 - don't want to die in a month, huh? 00:37:53.858 --> 00:38:01.321 - So I put all the holy pellets, put the air, water, and then they drink it three or four times, you know. 00:38:01.321 --> 00:38:08.499 - It's gone. No more pain. So I was worried about it. He said, even without the operation, I would die 00:38:08.499 --> 00:38:15.962 - in one month. I look in all the weak parts of what he did. Two weeks gone. Now one more, two more weeks. 00:38:15.962 --> 00:38:22.430 - I was worried. There's no more pain anyway. That was in 1975, until now in life, you know. 00:38:23.010 --> 00:38:30.049 - So anyway, those kind of language is very problem. They told me you are the ghost, and I was the ghost. 00:38:30.049 --> 00:38:37.020 - I was so scared. Then the ghost told me you're a rocket. That's kind of funny, and I never ate rocket. 00:38:37.020 --> 00:38:44.194 - So that language is so problem. So that's one thing I'm going to say here. When I say, if I say something 00:38:44.194 --> 00:38:50.014 - you're hard to understand, you're going to be rewarded very hard. So apologize to me. 00:38:50.498 --> 00:38:57.460 - So then the talk, but I will talk about the four number truth in the second and third. Second and third 00:38:57.460 --> 00:39:04.288 - is, yeah, third and fourth is the real Dharma. And the first call, you know, cessation, first call is 00:39:04.288 --> 00:39:11.183 - suffering and cause. The suffering come by cause. But then the cause, I had to stop, you know, whether 00:39:11.183 --> 00:39:17.877 - there is something that the suffering come, you have to stop. They call the cessation and the path, 00:39:17.877 --> 00:39:18.814 - path of body. 00:39:20.354 --> 00:39:26.670 - So I think it's a good example. When I came, I bought one of the townhouse, brand new one. I don't know 00:39:26.670 --> 00:39:32.742 - what happened. It's new, but there's still water leaking. Water was the water leaking, you know? So 00:39:32.742 --> 00:39:38.876 - then I looked at the water almost all. It was a lot of water. I was so dumb, actually. I should have 00:39:38.876 --> 00:39:45.191 - been shot there. I never touch. Because the farmer, they said, don't touch. It's dangerous. The letter, 00:39:45.191 --> 00:39:50.110 - big letter, that's a red one. Danger, don't touch. I need to ask. I don't touch. 00:39:50.338 --> 00:39:56.346 - I let him leak it. Then I called it, what do you call it, a plumber. A plumber, they call it a plumber. 00:39:56.346 --> 00:40:02.239 - One guy came. So he stopped. He shut the water. Why don't you shut the water? Because they said there 00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:08.074 - was danger. Don't try anything. You're good to follow. He said, you're good to follow. I don't know, 00:40:08.074 --> 00:40:13.909 - good or not, good anyway. So then he shut the water. So then he make something like the, what do you 00:40:13.909 --> 00:40:19.166 - call it, kind of like a glue. He told me the name. I forgot the name. Kind of like a glue. 00:40:19.298 --> 00:40:26.488 - White one, very powerful. Kind of glue, like mother crazy glue, you know? Very strong one. If you make 00:40:26.488 --> 00:40:33.677 - it a little hot, they put something glue, and then they start to own it, no more leaking. So actually, 00:40:33.677 --> 00:40:40.936 - I talked about it. They call it suffering, cause of suffering. Coming from where? Coming from the hole. 00:40:40.936 --> 00:40:48.126 - If they don't have a two or three holes, now we never want to leak it, right? So coming from the hole. 00:40:48.642 --> 00:40:55.781 - The whole have to stop, eh? But stop for the kind of the glue. So that point is how they make the glue. 00:40:55.781 --> 00:41:02.715 - They call it cessation part. Part of areas, you know. Part of area. Part is dama. Part is that color 00:41:02.715 --> 00:41:09.785 - part we're doing now. So that the reason I'm talking about the how. Then I ask him, the guy, you know, 00:41:09.785 --> 00:41:16.718 - oh, that's wonderful. How you make this wonderful? He said, great. It's got a lot of crazy glue, eh? 00:41:16.718 --> 00:41:18.366 - How you make this glue? 00:41:18.914 --> 00:41:25.870 - No, don't ask me how we don't make it anyway. We have a lot. In our office, we just use it. You say, 00:41:25.870 --> 00:41:32.965 - don't ask me how to make it. You don't know. I don't make it. No, we don't make it anyway. And you say 00:41:32.965 --> 00:41:39.921 - that. So we need to know how to make the glue. Right? Number four is the pattern barrier. We have to 00:41:39.921 --> 00:41:42.814 - practice how we practice. What can we do? 00:41:45.506 --> 00:41:52.518 - So actually, they're talking about the number four threat, path of area, able to stop the whole. How 00:41:52.518 --> 00:41:59.600 - is it what you do? Oh, I don't want the whole area go in. So there is just a woman, a baby, who won't 00:41:59.600 --> 00:42:06.126 - be able to hold the gun. They just say, by the mother, by the sattva mother, a heruka mother, 00:42:06.126 --> 00:42:13.069 - that's it. Still, what leaking, they're holding it there. Before the whole car, you could save. You 00:42:13.069 --> 00:42:14.110 - could survive. 00:42:14.722 --> 00:42:21.107 - You know, the whole already does it the correct way. We have to be the action. What action? We have 00:42:21.107 --> 00:42:27.811 - to make it different, what they call, kind of like what they call, the gloom way, you know? If you know, 00:42:27.811 --> 00:42:34.388 - you don't need to call the full army. You need to know how to make the power, you know? So if you know 00:42:34.388 --> 00:42:41.092 - the power, how to make it, that people make it the free suffering, the color, you know, the other color, 00:42:41.092 --> 00:42:43.518 - what they call, reconnect the person. 00:42:43.618 --> 00:42:49.774 - they're able to choose, huh? Choice or choose? Doesn't matter, they could choose when they die, where 00:42:49.774 --> 00:42:56.050 - they're going to be reborn, which family, they're going to be able to choose. So that choice is called, 00:42:56.050 --> 00:43:02.145 - number four, they're called the path of area. The practice. How you practice, how you make the glue. 00:43:02.145 --> 00:43:08.180 - So glue maker, for example, there are many ways, but they're just simple ones, they're called, like 00:43:08.180 --> 00:43:10.654 - the six-partisan apartment, for example. 00:43:11.106 --> 00:43:20.316 - You know, six-partional parameter. Basically, it is that the material, how to make the glue in your 00:43:20.316 --> 00:43:29.987 - pattern for the six-partional parameter. You know, Jimba, 13. Jimba, generosity. 13, morality. Morality. 00:43:29.987 --> 00:43:39.934 - Jimba, 13, super, and forgiveness, passion. That's a hard one. Jimba, 13, super, serendipity, and diligent. 00:43:40.130 --> 00:43:51.724 - So then each one you try to practice, practice, practice. Not only the understanding. Understanding 00:43:51.724 --> 00:44:03.433 - only does work. We need to understand the person. We need to know. If you don't know how to use him, 00:44:03.433 --> 00:44:09.694 - then you use him. That's the most important, I guess. 00:44:10.146 --> 00:44:17.196 - People understand, you know, I'm not talking that bad. I'm not talking about how many people understand 00:44:17.196 --> 00:44:24.111 - already. But people use it still, you know. So that's why they're not practicing. So we need to know, 00:44:24.111 --> 00:44:31.025 - and what we need to do. Which you know you can do is better. To say which you know a little bit. Know 00:44:31.025 --> 00:44:34.686 - a little bit, do a little bit. That's the better way. 00:44:34.882 --> 00:44:41.245 - But not a lot of people do a little bit. They're not good at it. Some people do nothing, you know? They 00:44:41.245 --> 00:44:47.792 - have no understanding, or better known. That's called a six-parts-in-a-parameter. So it's called a djimba, 00:44:47.792 --> 00:44:54.094 - first of all. Typically, a djimba is 30% or something, share of djimbas and generosity, offering. Then 00:44:54.094 --> 00:45:00.212 - the people talk that djimba, first of all, talk about the generosity, meaning not only necessary to 00:45:00.212 --> 00:45:04.862 - offering, to share the materials, money, clothes, not only that part of it. 00:45:04.962 --> 00:45:12.021 - You have three different materials, three different giving, you know, to give. You have three different 00:45:12.021 --> 00:45:18.740 - giving. That's also part of Dharma practice, too. Like I say, if you can, if you have some astral, 00:45:18.740 --> 00:45:25.527 - you know, if you have astral pen, if you don't use it, like, you know, celebration, like, whatever, 00:45:25.527 --> 00:45:28.446 - give away, share, that would be good, too. 00:45:28.578 --> 00:45:35.955 - Or you could just share it with one person. That wouldn't much help. The dollars can be shared. That's 00:45:35.955 --> 00:45:43.118 - material for the offering. That's number two. Number two is called Minjibijinba. Minjibijinba means 00:45:43.118 --> 00:45:50.423 - the sound of people. And not necessarily people, any kind of being. Like the bug, like the fish. Some 00:45:50.423 --> 00:45:56.798 - will nearly die, you know? Like the bug will nearly die. You try to save the bug's life. 00:45:57.314 --> 00:46:04.015 - The way you serve, you offer the life. You serve with the offer, you know? You serve the people, brings 00:46:04.015 --> 00:46:10.588 - the life. So that way, I think we better serve the fish life, too, you know? So maybe there's someone 00:46:10.588 --> 00:46:17.032 - to come over, people enjoy the oracle of fishing there. When I was 17, the one that found a mind, a 00:46:17.032 --> 00:46:23.476 - good friend of mine, that was in 1974. He said, hey, Lama, tomorrow we go to fishing, OK? There was 00:46:23.476 --> 00:46:25.022 - someone there, so good. 00:46:25.538 --> 00:46:31.191 - I am saying that I know the fish, but I don't know. It's fishing. Last words I don't know. Fishing, 00:46:31.191 --> 00:46:36.844 - today, many of you go catch fish, right? So that's the meaning, but I don't know, really. I thought 00:46:36.844 --> 00:46:42.836 - it's fishing. I thought it's fish. Good, eh? Because by then, in Nansung, you couldn't eat that beautiful 00:46:42.836 --> 00:46:49.054 - lake, eh? So the lake had a lot of fish. We went over there in the morning. I said, sure, we'll go, you know. 00:46:49.314 --> 00:46:55.784 - So he bought a lot of the food, bread, a cookie, a lot to eat. And also he bought a lot of the hawk, 00:46:55.784 --> 00:47:02.319 - the catcher, so many things in a car, in a truck. He asked me, what are you using? I was scared. What 00:47:02.319 --> 00:47:09.045 - do you mean? Oh, we go fishing. He tell me what the fishing mean. To catch, yeah, that's called fishing. 00:47:09.045 --> 00:47:14.939 - Try to get the fish, then we go home, we cook. It's good, and it tastes good. He said that. 00:47:14.939 --> 00:47:17.822 - So then I said, I'm sorry. What do you mean? 00:47:18.050 --> 00:47:25.384 - After the fishermen go look at the fish to play with the fish, eh? Play with the fish. Well, you cannot 00:47:25.384 --> 00:47:33.070 - survive. What do you mean? How do you play with the fish? So then that's easier. How? Can you have something 00:47:33.070 --> 00:47:40.192 - to bring over the food or bread? Yeah, we have a lot. So when everybody have something in the bread, 00:47:40.192 --> 00:47:46.398 - a piece of bread to put through in the lake, the fish got that. The fish got the bread. 00:47:46.562 --> 00:47:53.907 - And God, they show the bar down. Never show bar down, you know? Fish always go like this, huh? The caddis, 00:47:53.907 --> 00:48:00.909 - they show the bar down. Bar down is so shiny, beautiful, really, silver color, gold color. So there's 00:48:00.909 --> 00:48:07.842 - a lot of fun anywhere. So he's a good man. He's really good. He's a very good person. He says, sure, 00:48:07.842 --> 00:48:14.776 - we'll do your way. Yeah, today we'll do your way. He's just very kind, you know? We always have some 00:48:14.776 --> 00:48:16.286 - piece of better food. 00:48:16.706 --> 00:48:23.270 - Well, all the monsters that give to the fish, we all start hungry. We don't go back home quickly. 00:48:23.270 --> 00:48:29.969 - So anyway, they call it save life. They call it one of the giving. Secondly, giving is called life, 00:48:29.969 --> 00:48:36.801 - life save, save life. Nearly die, nearly something, you know, nearly die on the road or whatever, you 00:48:36.801 --> 00:48:43.499 - could save. However, if you save, you save the being's life. Then you get your gain, like the merit 00:48:43.499 --> 00:48:44.638 - karma, you know. 00:48:45.282 --> 00:48:49.966 - you get a wonderful result. Then they call it number, third, they call it Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba 00:48:49.966 --> 00:48:54.432 - means a dharma. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means 00:48:54.432 --> 00:48:59.072 - a dharma. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. 00:48:59.072 --> 00:49:03.275 - Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. 00:49:03.275 --> 00:49:07.478 - Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. 00:49:07.478 --> 00:49:09.054 - Chu-Chi-Chin-Ba means a dharma. Chu 00:49:09.570 --> 00:49:15.369 - Oh, that's a true dharma. Dharma is good. I think positive things are good. Better know how to talk 00:49:15.369 --> 00:49:21.226 - to your own first. Then you talk like that for your friend, for your friend, you know? Oh, actually, 00:49:21.226 --> 00:49:27.140 - you know, today I listen to something. I do practice. It's good for you, you know? Some people follow 00:49:27.140 --> 00:49:33.055 - you. So you give a dharma. You give already a dharma. You don't need to say, oh, a lesson for me. I'm 00:49:33.055 --> 00:49:39.550 - going to give you a dharma. I'm going to teach you. You don't need to say that, you know? Sounds like a dharma. 00:49:39.778 --> 00:49:48.112 - So that's called, that's called Jinba. Jinba means for all the gibby, three different gibby. Jinba, 00:49:48.112 --> 00:49:56.195 - sotuin, we know that. Zipa, we know forgiveness and penchant. That's a hard one. When they call, 00:49:56.195 --> 00:50:04.779 - I don't know, okay. When there was a long time ago, when the Buddha stayed, you know, when the guy was 00:50:04.779 --> 00:50:08.446 - meditating, you know, he's a Buddhist monk. 00:50:09.218 --> 00:50:14.979 - He didn't say when Marco meditated. So when the other one come, he ask, what are you doing here? You 00:50:14.979 --> 00:50:20.798 - don't need to ask. He meditated. He sit properly and think, you know. Then they ask him, what are you 00:50:20.798 --> 00:50:26.331 - doing? Oh, meditate. What kind of meditate? He say, forgiveness. You know, forgiveness meditate. 00:50:26.331 --> 00:50:32.207 - Then he said, oh, he looks, you know. Then he said, no, you don't look like forgiveness. You look very 00:50:32.207 --> 00:50:36.542 - stupid, you know. You look awful. You don't look like forgiveness meditate. 00:50:36.898 --> 00:50:43.095 - You know, what do you talk about me? You almost stand, you start angry. So that's good, good meditation. 00:50:43.095 --> 00:50:48.642 - Good, forgive me, meditation. Forgive me when something happen, you have to forgive. It's OK, 00:50:48.642 --> 00:50:54.662 - I don't know. I don't know much. It's harder. Something give you the harsh words. Right away, kind of 00:50:54.662 --> 00:51:01.154 - like that. Are you slow? So you could do anything. It's OK, just a word, let it talk, you know. Or yesterday, 00:51:01.154 --> 00:51:04.990 - you talk to me. It's OK, the words are gone already. Can I help? 00:51:05.378 --> 00:51:11.604 - Oh, it's okay. Instead of being angry, maybe it's okay. I'm sorry, but, you know, but he's open-ended. 00:51:11.604 --> 00:51:17.650 - He's thinking, different thinking. Well, I think I forgive, you know. So that's called the practice 00:51:17.650 --> 00:51:23.695 - about the, and the djimba and the first one. Their morality, try to not kill you. If you can't have 00:51:23.695 --> 00:51:29.861 - to save the being's life, djimba should zip up and forgive you. So you need to do something about it, 00:51:29.861 --> 00:51:33.790 - do something about it. So that's what we're doing now, you know. 00:51:34.178 --> 00:51:42.348 - In other cities, it's nice weather, sunny, wonderful. So people enjoy running here and there, I think. 00:51:42.348 --> 00:51:50.914 - But we just come together. That's kind of like the word good, good thing, what you call, soon do something, 00:51:50.914 --> 00:51:58.846 - do something to us. Because to do something to us, we need to do something to us, because our life. 00:51:59.746 --> 00:52:06.982 - So then the Jambhasutra is something, samadhi. Sometimes, once in a while, you could do meditate. The 00:52:06.982 --> 00:52:14.077 - meditation, there are many different meditations. One is called the single-pointed mind meditation. 00:52:14.077 --> 00:52:21.384 - One is called analytical meditation. Many different ways. And so, when we teach, we do some analytical 00:52:21.384 --> 00:52:28.478 - meditation with kind of the part of Mahamudra meditation, shunyata meditation, emptiness, shunyata. 00:52:28.866 --> 00:52:36.376 - Tune yata, emptiness. That we've been doing in the last few days. So the other thing, like all the six 00:52:36.376 --> 00:52:43.667 - pajalana paramita, if you practice all those, not only understanding, you understand, you see, then 00:52:43.667 --> 00:52:51.249 - you make it a glue. We talk of the glue, right? There's cessation, stop. Cessation in the part of body. 00:52:51.249 --> 00:52:58.686 - We talk of the part of body. Part of body, where we practice, how we practice, how we make it a glue. 00:53:00.290 --> 00:53:06.833 - You could make glue, because you could make glue, you could make the, okay, if you're normal, 00:53:06.833 --> 00:53:14.002 - before meditate, before study, I'm very much very selfish, you know, selfishness, just mean, not much. 00:53:14.002 --> 00:53:21.241 - Then you see that not much very much, you know, angry, not much angry, angry not good, because you make 00:53:21.241 --> 00:53:28.062 - the damn fault, angry bad, or angry make destroy, angry make more, make more hurt for myself too. 00:53:28.386 --> 00:53:35.703 - And I heard other people broke other people's heart. You know, you use the harsh word. I heard a lot. 00:53:35.703 --> 00:53:42.876 - Some people said, oh, he or she broke my heart. They use the harsh word. So that color would try to 00:53:42.876 --> 00:53:50.408 - make it a glue, one by one. Who can make it complete right away? And all that would be negative. I won't 00:53:50.408 --> 00:53:57.438 - do anymore. It's easy to say. It's hard. They color slowly, slowly, one by one, simple one first. 00:53:57.538 --> 00:54:06.973 - Easy, fast one. Do fast one, easy one. Then you think slowly, why not? Now you could say that for example, 00:54:06.973 --> 00:54:15.967 - that for many, many bodhisattvas, many, many great human beings, great powerful meditation, those all 00:54:15.967 --> 00:54:23.198 - came, begin like us, even Buddha, Buddha Shakyamuni. And also not like beginning. 00:54:23.810 --> 00:54:31.200 - So then they do slowly practice by understanding, which they understand they're using, you know, so 00:54:31.200 --> 00:54:38.590 - that we're talking about, right? Which you know we have to try to better use. You try to, you know, 00:54:38.590 --> 00:54:46.127 - try to, you know, oh God. I know that one. Forgiveness I know. Maybe I try. How I forgive or no. Easy 00:54:46.127 --> 00:54:52.926 - to forgive your friend, a close friend, I think, you know, moment like, oh no, he's my God. 00:54:53.026 --> 00:54:59.024 - He's my lover. He's my friend. No, I can't do that. They're not going to. And then try to the other 00:54:59.024 --> 00:55:05.023 - people, too, whatever you can. That's called the thought you could do, thought you could understand 00:55:05.023 --> 00:55:10.781 - all those six, you know, six personal parameters. If we do it properly, then you could mend it. 00:55:10.781 --> 00:55:16.840 - You could, you know, how to make the glue. You don't need to call it farming. You don't need to call 00:55:16.840 --> 00:55:22.718 - it doctoring. You do it by your own. So that's what people doing, like the more great meditation. 00:55:22.978 --> 00:55:29.740 - understand the world. So then they're using their own, their own dharma, they use their own dharma. 00:55:29.740 --> 00:55:36.705 - So that was when I was in Tibet, when I was teaching, he was so scary, you know. Everybody was scaring 00:55:36.705 --> 00:55:43.602 - him, I don't know why. He's so big. And also his eye is so big. His eye is really big, you know. Then 00:55:43.602 --> 00:55:50.161 - also he uses what's called the glass, kind of dark glass. He's never, not too many markers used. 00:55:50.161 --> 00:55:52.798 - He used, you know, kind of dark glass. 00:55:53.570 --> 00:56:00.901 - Oh my God, it's so scary, you know? So I missed one or two days, I missed my study with him because 00:56:00.901 --> 00:56:08.233 - I was sick. I had something, what do you call it, sinus, huh? Sinus? Oh, my God, my head is so hurt 00:56:08.233 --> 00:56:15.784 - a lot. So my uncle, he told me, come on, go to the lab. Because something he do, people are sick, they 00:56:15.784 --> 00:56:23.262 - touch their head, it be finished. The death wish I go, I went to him. He do something, touch my head. 00:56:23.746 --> 00:56:30.256 - something blazing and make the body, his mother put the hair there. It'd be really like pure, 00:56:30.256 --> 00:56:37.388 - polite way. But he never did to me. I said, what happened? What's wrong? You did not come to two days. 00:56:37.388 --> 00:56:44.313 - And sorry, and I was sick. What happened? I also had a sinus, you know? So then I go more closer. I 00:56:44.313 --> 00:56:51.030 - thought he was going to do something to me. He never did. Go, go eat your medicine. My goodness, 00:56:51.030 --> 00:56:53.662 - so hard. I was so confused, you know? 00:56:54.306 --> 00:56:59.961 - And still he stayed there. What did he talk about? I really don't know. What did he talk about, 00:56:59.961 --> 00:57:05.969 - you know? He got, I told you already, go. Go in the kitchen, something to drink, tea, whatever. Go to 00:57:05.969 --> 00:57:11.860 - the kitchen, his nephew said, cook, good, cook, have a nice, good tea, Tibetan butter tea, eh? Love 00:57:11.860 --> 00:57:17.986 - the butter tea and the butter tea. Put the butter, milk, salt, good, you know, tastes good. So, anyway, 00:57:17.986 --> 00:57:23.582 - then I ask his nephew, and I ask him, why did you tell me that? You should do it, by your own. 00:57:24.994 --> 00:57:32.689 - That call we talk of the tong ling. You could meditate. You could do on the tong meaning giving and 00:57:32.689 --> 00:57:40.614 - taking, give and taking. So don't take a little more advice. But beginning, we need to know how, which 00:57:40.614 --> 00:57:48.771 - thing we could do, which thing I could do. You take your own. So that is said, tawang jin, because tawang 00:57:48.771 --> 00:57:52.926 - jin, tawang jin, tawang jin, tawang jin, never cover. 00:57:53.698 --> 00:58:01.948 - So our life is so important, very precious life. We are. If you really check it, if you really look 00:58:01.948 --> 00:58:10.363 - at the reason, if you look into our life, it's so important now, really. We could do, because we have 00:58:10.363 --> 00:58:18.695 - all the opportunity, because the Dharma is present. Dharma means Buddha, teaching still present. The 00:58:18.695 --> 00:58:22.078 - Buddha is present. Buddha is everywhere. 00:58:23.266 --> 00:58:29.617 - Shakyamuni Buddha. So the Buddha is here. We can see it. We don't need to see the Buddha there. That's 00:58:29.617 --> 00:58:35.783 - something we need to see, you know. It's more comfortable, right? More strong belief, right? People 00:58:35.783 --> 00:58:42.133 - like to say Arya Asanga meditated for the material Buddha for 12 years. He didn't see it. You know the 00:58:42.133 --> 00:58:48.299 - story, right? So that kind of really is true, you know. He meditated. He meditated mainly he wanted 00:58:48.299 --> 00:58:50.334 - to see, talk with the personnel. 00:58:50.818 --> 00:58:57.310 - Like a person I talked with, with the material Buddha, you know, material Buddha. He meditated for 12 00:58:57.310 --> 00:59:03.929 - years. He meditated, he wished, he practiced, he came back, and with all the inter-practice, the Buddha 00:59:03.929 --> 00:59:10.484 - never come. He give up, finally. There were many stories I don't want to mention. Finally, he give up. 00:59:10.484 --> 00:59:17.167 - He came back. 12 years is a long time. Maybe I'm not qualified, and I give up. I go home now. I go back. 00:59:17.167 --> 00:59:20.222 - So then come back on the way there for the dog. 00:59:20.450 --> 00:59:27.648 - He saw the dog. The dog was a red-colored dog. And the dog was losing, I don't know, one leg, 00:59:27.648 --> 00:59:35.381 - I don't know, the arm only. They call it all leg. They had four legs, whatever. One leg was eaten by 00:59:35.381 --> 00:59:43.268 - a, what do you call it, maggot? The maggot was eaten, you know. And the dog nearly died. So the Asanga 00:59:43.268 --> 00:59:49.470 - has very strong compassion. We're going to talk about how to develop compassion. 00:59:49.634 --> 00:59:57.427 - That kind of compassion, you couldn't do it. We all have opportunity. Ayasanga has a beautiful, powerful, 00:59:57.427 --> 01:00:05.147 - pure compassion. He can't give up. He saw the dog, dog nearly died. He sit beside the dog, he sit beside 01:00:05.147 --> 01:00:12.793 - the dog. So he looking what does he do, how to save the dog life. So that he said, I could do dog life, 01:00:12.793 --> 01:00:16.542 - I could save, because I took all of those magnets. 01:00:17.154 --> 01:00:23.804 - by hand, clean up, by a thick rock. Maybe I could save the drug life. But it's still the same thing. 01:00:23.804 --> 01:00:30.190 - You could damage all the mechanized life, too. And the next month, month back, they're all life, 01:00:30.190 --> 01:00:36.248 - you know? There's not much sense in trying to save one drug life, but damage more than 100. 01:00:36.248 --> 01:00:42.897 - They're not right. Another, I don't want to kill, I don't want to lose the other life, too. You want 01:00:42.897 --> 01:00:46.782 - to save the whole. So what did they say? That in a sudden, 01:00:47.010 --> 01:00:53.446 - And the committee, they said that he cut somewhere. They didn't say which of them was more muscle, 01:00:53.446 --> 01:01:00.077 - you know. He cut his muscle himself, cut muscle, put it on ground. And he tried to take away, take it 01:01:00.077 --> 01:01:06.774 - one by one. But if you touch a hand, they're very soft. So he said, no, I don't want to kill anything. 01:01:06.774 --> 01:01:13.470 - I don't want to save, you know, save each one by one, take it by a tongue. Well, that's kind of funny. 01:01:14.242 --> 01:01:21.168 - He said that when you close your eyes, you can't reach it. The dog is here, but the dog is not dog. 01:01:21.168 --> 01:01:28.233 - What happened? Look at the material Buddha, future Buddha. He's clean. He's not dog. Then he was kind 01:01:28.233 --> 01:01:33.982 - of, oh, why are you doing to me like that? Why I don't care telling now, you know? 01:01:34.402 --> 01:01:41.115 - I met him for 12 years. Why don't you come tell us now? You can't even be talking now. Hey Buddha, why 01:01:41.115 --> 01:01:47.698 - you don't treat me like this? No, I came for your place. Since you started to meditate, I came three 01:01:47.698 --> 01:01:54.672 - times every day. You didn't see me. So that's why we met. You pray at your home. You meditate, compassion, 01:01:54.672 --> 01:02:01.646 - forgiveness, whatever you do, you know. So there is Buddha there. There is Buddha already there, honestly. 01:02:01.646 --> 01:02:02.558 - All the time. 01:02:02.818 --> 01:02:14.109 - which you invited, you take a refugee, but already there. So they help you. But then we can see it, 01:02:14.109 --> 01:02:25.400 - because that's the example. So that Buddha said, OK, it's hard to believe. Hard to believe that the 01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:32.062 - white one, not the red one. That's good. I hope not drink. 01:02:32.802 --> 01:02:42.947 - Not drunk. OK. So then the Buddha said, OK. And the material Buddha told him how to believe. OK, I'll 01:02:42.947 --> 01:02:53.191 - tell you something. I'll put me on your shoulder. You know, little baby to put here, carrying both the 01:02:53.191 --> 01:03:02.142 - hand on the holding leg. He went to the city. I'll call it big city. He went to the city. 01:03:02.242 --> 01:03:07.813 - Buddha told him, I call him, come out loud, tell all the people, call everybody, say, Maitreya Buddha, 01:03:07.813 --> 01:03:13.492 - one of my shorty, you're a guy's lucky, come out, you couldn't see Maitreya Buddha. It's really Maitreya 01:03:13.492 --> 01:03:18.955 - Buddha day, you know. You went in the city, tell the people, nobody can see it. Then people start to 01:03:18.955 --> 01:03:24.580 - complain, oh, look, poor guy, he's been meditating for many years, now he's crazy. He's been meditating 01:03:24.580 --> 01:03:30.421 - for many years, now he's crazy. So Buddha, the way they talk, yeah, they talk to me crazy. Now you believe, 01:03:30.421 --> 01:03:31.070 - yeah, I do. 01:03:31.746 --> 01:03:39.760 - So they went to the Puyol and Tushita. They went for a little while. So when he came back, Asanga came 01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:47.852 - back, gave it to him, the Pajana Parliament, the root sutra. He gave it to him. And then three or four, 01:03:47.852 --> 01:03:55.788 - seven different teachings gave it to him. He come back, put it on the paper. So anyway, so that call, 01:03:55.788 --> 01:03:59.134 - I talk about the word very fortunate. How? 01:03:59.874 --> 01:04:07.309 - Myself, I didn't see Buddha come like this, you know? But not necessarily to see. We have the opportunity 01:04:07.309 --> 01:04:14.324 - to see. We have opportunity. How? Our life is not easy. Our lives are important, very special, very 01:04:14.324 --> 01:04:21.478 - precious life, you know? We could do if we do it. It's possible. Think of it. Good benefit. Make good 01:04:21.478 --> 01:04:29.054 - benefit for your own, for generation life. You could make a benefit for all other beings. Because our life, 01:04:29.154 --> 01:04:36.570 - We're completely, we're good at hearing, we're good at seeing, we're good at understanding. And also 01:04:36.570 --> 01:04:44.206 - we're very good, but still the Dharma is present everywhere, you know? Dharma teachings are everywhere, 01:04:44.206 --> 01:04:52.136 - Dharma groups are everywhere. So we're very fortunate. Dharma teaching there, you're good at understanding, 01:04:52.136 --> 01:04:57.790 - you're physical, you're material, everything there. So we're very fortunate. 01:04:58.434 --> 01:05:05.651 - So that's why when you practice dharma, you first just be thinking about it, because you're more comfortable. 01:05:05.651 --> 01:05:12.277 - You can know what it is. Yeah, why not? I should do it. Kind of an opportunity, you know? Good time. 01:05:12.277 --> 01:05:18.903 - But then you just say, how? It's a good time, but they still are young, you know? Well, after later, 01:05:18.903 --> 01:05:25.463 - maybe getting, maybe becoming 30, they're not going to start meditation. Well, you never know. They 01:05:25.463 --> 01:05:27.038 - call it chowamata naka. 01:05:27.170 --> 01:05:34.074 - Our life is in the impermanent, in the impermanent changing. Permanent, impermanent. There are only 01:05:34.074 --> 01:05:41.322 - two. One is the really good permanent. All those are there. And the space in the sky, blue color, that's 01:05:41.322 --> 01:05:48.295 - the permanent. That's all those blue there, all those space, all those blue. One that we can see now 01:05:48.295 --> 01:05:55.267 - in the cloud, but it's the blue, all those there. But except that, then they're all too impermanent, 01:05:55.267 --> 01:05:56.510 - all the changing. 01:05:56.866 --> 01:06:04.865 - Life is changing. Physical is changing. Everything is changing. So then they call. Then they call, okay, 01:06:04.865 --> 01:06:12.560 - this is the change. My life is changed. My life never know how long I could stay. Everybody wishing, 01:06:12.560 --> 01:06:20.331 - you know, stay for longer. That I do too. I do too always. Oh, still okay. Now and, you know, so then 01:06:20.331 --> 01:06:25.054 - still you're thinking, oh, I could stay a little more longer. 01:06:25.794 --> 01:06:33.768 - Then also say, OK, it's really good. OK, after a few more years, I'm not done yet. Maybe I do some three 01:06:33.768 --> 01:06:41.513 - or four more years, I do some work done. You think that everything will make a radiance. Then make an 01:06:41.513 --> 01:06:49.411 - early retire. Then I do meditate. You never know. The early retire, when you put the karma, or the mind 01:06:49.411 --> 01:06:55.486 - changes direction. Who knows? So then the Dharma help, when the Dharma show you 01:06:56.034 --> 01:07:03.816 - how to do. Nobody else can show us when we die. We let our family, relatives, property, family's name, 01:07:03.816 --> 01:07:11.523 - whatever, and everything be left, you know. And that kind of the most sad, too, if people nearly die, 01:07:11.523 --> 01:07:19.305 - all the related people come looking, and they see his history, he or she very sad. Dharma really help. 01:07:19.305 --> 01:07:24.670 - Dharma people never sad, become more satisfied. Just when I came back, 01:07:25.122 --> 01:07:32.547 - One of my sponsors, she's my sponsor. I have three sponsors, a Canada lady, very kind, bring India to 01:07:32.547 --> 01:07:40.336 - here, to Canada. Here, it doesn't matter, in the West. And so she died. She's not like the regular person. 01:07:40.336 --> 01:07:47.615 - She's like another all the time. She has her mind, very, very Dharma mind, very generous, so strong 01:07:47.615 --> 01:07:52.638 - Dharma mind, you know. She believed 100% of the Holinesses are Lama. 01:07:53.474 --> 01:08:00.664 - And so he said that he all died on my heart. That's all. That's the one thing, you know. And then she 01:08:00.664 --> 01:08:07.712 - died really just because very messy, really. She died by the cancer, lung cancer, you know. She had 01:08:07.712 --> 01:08:14.902 - a big operation. She can't lay down. All was left on. So I went to see her. Because months ago, here, 01:08:14.902 --> 01:08:21.598 - there, when I was missing her, you know, then I went there. Tomorrow morning, she want to die. 01:08:22.146 --> 01:08:28.730 - That evening, I went to see her. So my car parked in the back there, and there's what's called meter 01:08:28.730 --> 01:08:35.315 - light, put the money, you know, one dollar. I put the dollar. Dollar you could use only one hour. So 01:08:35.315 --> 01:08:42.029 - then I look at my watch. She holding my hand, both the hand and holding my hand. Never live for almost 01:08:42.029 --> 01:08:44.702 - more than hours. I look and talk to her. 01:08:45.090 --> 01:08:52.904 - And I look at my watch. Because it made me go one hour, then they gave me a ticket. I don't want a ticket. 01:08:52.904 --> 01:09:00.279 - Then I said, give us. OK, doesn't matter. Give a ticket. I don't care. She's very kind for me. I sit 01:09:00.279 --> 01:09:07.801 - with her for as long as she wanted. Then she said, OK, that's a good answer for now. Now you could go. 01:09:07.801 --> 01:09:13.278 - The next morning, she died. And before that, her sister lived in the East. 01:09:13.474 --> 01:09:19.571 - She came to see her. And so then, and before the husband went to pick her up, told her husband, Alec, 01:09:19.571 --> 01:09:25.190 - here Alec will change my position, you know. She used to be all that and like this, you know. 01:09:25.190 --> 01:09:31.167 - In the morning, before she went, he went to pick her sister, told him, before you go, please change 01:09:31.167 --> 01:09:36.905 - my position. I want to go to the other one. Because she had already operation, she can't go in. 01:09:36.905 --> 01:09:42.046 - But she said, okay, it's 10 o'clock. She go to sleep. And she died like that, really. 01:09:43.458 --> 01:09:50.114 - But Buddha was better than that. Buddha died like this, Buddha Shakyamuni. So she died like this. 01:09:50.114 --> 01:09:57.111 - When I came, in a little time, I thought I couldn't see her. When I came, she's gone. So then, anyway, 01:09:57.111 --> 01:10:03.835 - so that's why she's a very, not like the really regular practice, not like that. She's believable. 01:10:03.835 --> 01:10:10.627 - Her heart, very strong heart, dominant in heart. She's good. And also other girl, although she died 01:10:10.627 --> 01:10:11.646 - like this too, 01:10:12.962 --> 01:10:20.915 - She's very young. She's also cancer. I don't know what cancer she died before I came here. And also, 01:10:20.915 --> 01:10:28.868 - she's good. She's a really comfortable diet, because dharma help. So dharma help, dharma mean if you 01:10:28.868 --> 01:10:36.348 - do something positive, think. So then there's not much, what you call, not much sad, not much, 01:10:36.348 --> 01:10:38.238 - what you call, regrets. 01:10:38.594 --> 01:10:45.305 - or when I was happy, when I had done something wrong, or not nearly done, then get a lot of suffering, 01:10:45.305 --> 01:10:52.080 - you know? Worry about it. Guilty. And so guilty now. It's too late anyway. So we have opportunity life. 01:10:52.080 --> 01:10:59.052 - We have opportunity to think. We have Dharma is really good. Dharma everywhere. You could practice Dharma. 01:10:59.052 --> 01:11:05.176 - Dharma can't go to you. The only way Dharma can go to you when you go to future life, Dharma, 01:11:05.176 --> 01:11:07.326 - positive mind, all of the karma. 01:11:07.938 --> 01:11:13.967 - But negative might come automatically. They don't need to come, but still they come, you know? We don't 01:11:13.967 --> 01:11:19.995 - need to go, you see, they don't follow me, but he's coming. But then we have, that's what we call, just 01:11:19.995 --> 01:11:26.314 - like Ian and Yana, right? Positive gets stronger, negative weaker automatically. The negative gets stronger, 01:11:26.314 --> 01:11:32.285 - our positive gets weaker. So that's why we don't want to make the positive weak. How are we making the 01:11:32.285 --> 01:11:37.502 - positive get strong? So that's what we're doing at the presentation, foundation practice, 01:11:38.370 --> 01:11:44.243 - You know, we're all the beginning. The foundation part is the most important, the foundation. For example, 01:11:44.243 --> 01:11:49.676 - like a building, a beautiful house. So with the building, I mean, I don't know how it's over here, 01:11:49.676 --> 01:11:55.165 - sort of, beautiful building. But they look, they need a very solid, very strong foundation. There's 01:11:55.165 --> 01:12:00.653 - the construction people working. Look at the foundation, you know. The foundation's good. You could 01:12:00.653 --> 01:12:06.142 - have put the wall, right? Then the wall's good, then the wall's solid. They put the seal, you know. 01:12:06.914 --> 01:12:13.370 - So that we're talking, don't try to put a seal right away. You can't do that, you know? Seal is like 01:12:13.370 --> 01:12:19.762 - over there. Okay, I want to make a beautiful home, or beautiful seal, or colorful. I can put it now 01:12:19.762 --> 01:12:26.218 - right away. It doesn't work. Where will it stay? You put a seal there, how will it stay? You hold it 01:12:26.218 --> 01:12:32.865 - by hand, or what? How? Like what I did, you need four people, more than that. So how? How will it stay? 01:12:32.865 --> 01:12:35.294 - So that's the call of Buddha teaching 01:12:35.938 --> 01:12:43.626 - beginning, foundation. Then they call it renunciation of Buddha, renunciation of bodhichitta, shunyata, 01:12:43.626 --> 01:12:50.649 - enlightenment. Then they call it tantra. In Tibetan tradition, they practice sutra for a long, 01:12:50.649 --> 01:12:58.264 - long time. One of my teachers, he just died. He's the head of gilu. He died in my mind, many teachers. 01:12:58.264 --> 01:13:04.030 - So he's 87, 88 years old, 87. He died. He studied for sutra 31 years. Honest. 01:13:04.226 --> 01:13:11.721 - 31 years for every daily practice. Go all sutra, not easy, you know, so then the large subject practice. 01:13:11.721 --> 01:13:19.573 - So then, after that, they go to Tantra College. The only Tantra practice, only three years. If you understand 01:13:19.573 --> 01:13:27.282 - it properly in the foundation sutra, you know, sutra tradition, there's a five-subject sutra, five-subject. 01:13:27.282 --> 01:13:31.422 - If you understand all that, that Tantra come very easily. 01:13:34.242 --> 01:13:40.424 - In the first subject called, they call, they call, they call, pardon the parliament one subject is. 01:13:40.424 --> 01:13:46.853 - Pardon the parliament, we just talked about. There are four, six, six subjects there, and all they call 01:13:46.853 --> 01:13:53.096 - pardon the parliament. That was number one. The second they call Oma, middle path philosophy, middle 01:13:53.096 --> 01:13:59.834 - path philosophy, middle way. They're going to talk into all subjects, all the shunyata, emptiness, baldness, 01:13:59.834 --> 01:14:00.638 - nothingness. 01:14:01.250 --> 01:14:09.368 - We do, one day, we do the meditation for shunyata meditation. It's really good. It feels good too. So 01:14:09.368 --> 01:14:17.963 - that's the second subject. The number third is called pramana vartika. Pramana vartika, logical philosophy, 01:14:17.963 --> 01:14:26.001 - logical sciences. How is the mind, how? So they'll talk about it. Then there's third, number four is 01:14:26.001 --> 01:14:29.662 - called binayaka sutta, binayaka, monastic who 01:14:30.530 --> 01:14:37.291 - Monastic group not only mark none, not for all of us, you know. Ten Commandments basically not killing, 01:14:37.291 --> 01:14:44.051 - not stealing, so on. So they're talking about that. The last one they call Abhidhamma Kosha, Abhidhamma 01:14:44.051 --> 01:14:50.877 - Kosha, Abhidhamma, metaphysical philosophy, cosmology. That's more interesting subject, very interesting 01:14:50.877 --> 01:14:57.443 - one. How the world start, how the beginning, how the beginning is, how world changing in the future, 01:14:57.443 --> 01:14:59.198 - they're talking, you know. 01:14:59.714 --> 01:15:06.716 - And also basically talk about the karma, how is our karma creation, how we make it started, 01:15:06.716 --> 01:15:14.631 - develop it. So don't think you're talking all the sutra. That was, if you study all those properly way, 01:15:14.631 --> 01:15:22.470 - your tantra will come so quickly. So that was the only way. So we, and I think so far all of you doing 01:15:22.470 --> 01:15:28.254 - very hard, all are doing so well, you know, we try to do as much as we can. 01:15:28.482 --> 01:15:35.196 - that we try to develop a foundation that's more important, you know? So that one, the part that we want 01:15:35.196 --> 01:15:41.846 - to develop a strong foundation, we're going to talk about the Lama Tsongkhapa Sadhana. And also, yeah, 01:15:41.846 --> 01:15:48.625 - that's what we're going to talk about. I have the Tibetan one. And today, I did that because we're going 01:15:48.625 --> 01:15:55.210 - to talk. So today, I'm just going to talk very much in general how we practice. When you practice, we 01:15:55.210 --> 01:15:57.534 - need to know our own how of myself. 01:15:57.858 --> 01:16:04.779 - Can I do that or no? Do I have a possible no? Yeah. Do I qualify? Yeah, I do. But then if you say I 01:16:04.779 --> 01:16:11.977 - don't qualify, I am wonderful. You don't do it, they're not good, you know? Oh, I am great, that's all. 01:16:11.977 --> 01:16:19.036 - I don't need to do nothing. I am a wonderful person who is not wonderful at all. We lose opportunity. 01:16:19.036 --> 01:16:26.027 - You just say I am wonderful. I qualify. I could do it. If I do it, if you do it, you could work. You 01:16:26.027 --> 01:16:27.134 - could work out. 01:16:27.714 --> 01:16:34.112 - If you don't really, then that doesn't count, never count, you know? You're wonderful. The wonderful 01:16:34.112 --> 01:16:40.447 - don't stay too long. So we have a wonderful life. We have an opportunity life. Look at the pattern, 01:16:40.447 --> 01:16:46.909 - really. Something like a safe friend, a relationship, family. That's happened all the time. Sometimes 01:16:46.909 --> 01:16:53.560 - a wonderful life, wonderful relationship, or happy or great, enjoyed. Sometimes not too happy, you know? 01:16:53.560 --> 01:16:56.094 - So then the Dharma person really helps. 01:16:56.322 --> 01:17:06.911 - Dhamma really helped. I don't know if I can tell the truth about when I worked in the hospital. I don't 01:17:06.911 --> 01:17:17.296 - know if I can compliment her. She's a nun. I think I don't know if she's Catholic or she's a nun. She 01:17:17.296 --> 01:17:24.830 - has a mala. That's called rosera. She's a cancer. She will die very soon. 01:17:25.954 --> 01:17:34.909 - That was just a cry. Then she called me. I don't know. I don't know. She thinks I'm a very happy person, 01:17:34.909 --> 01:17:43.694 - probably. I don't know. Happy. I'm not happy, you know. Happy. Yeah, I was happy, really. I had a long 01:17:43.694 --> 01:17:52.990 - hair, over the hair, you know. When I came to 74, I had a hair, you know. I cut it. So what did she call me? 01:17:53.250 --> 01:17:58.931 - Hey, come on, mister, come here. That's not working in the hospital. That's not our job, you know. I 01:17:58.931 --> 01:18:04.725 - sit beside her. So I want to ask you something. You don't mind. Could you have time for a few minutes? 01:18:04.725 --> 01:18:10.349 - Sure, I have time. I like to sit, because if you talk with the patient, our head knows she like it. 01:18:10.349 --> 01:18:15.805 - Because I need you to sit, you know. A good excuse. Sit beside her, talking. She says, you know, 01:18:15.805 --> 01:18:21.599 - each day, every day when you're passing my door, you're always laughing. You're so happy. How you make 01:18:21.599 --> 01:18:23.230 - it happy? She asked me that. 01:18:24.002 --> 01:18:30.136 - It's hard to see right away, you know. Then I ask a question, and you don't mind, I want to ask you 01:18:30.136 --> 01:18:36.269 - first, then I give you answer. He said, oh, yeah, what do you want to ask? He said, Santino, when I 01:18:36.269 --> 01:18:42.526 - pass your door, you always cry. He said, the rose in your hand, you always cry. Why you cry? He said, 01:18:42.526 --> 01:18:48.782 - I have to cry. Why? Because the doctor gave her heart. She wouldn't die in one month. Then her sister 01:18:48.782 --> 01:18:53.566 - is in other hospital. My brother broke a leg. I'm angry. I cry by angry. Why? 01:18:53.666 --> 01:18:59.665 - Because God's not fair. I've been a God's servant for 25 years, a God's servant. They're not fair. Why 01:18:59.665 --> 01:19:05.490 - don't you put my family like this? Oh, I'm sorry for that. You should call your idea. But as I said 01:19:05.490 --> 01:19:11.373 - about, you know, compared to my suffering, yours is nothing. You don't believe me, really, you know? 01:19:11.373 --> 01:19:17.372 - What do you talk about? I have a lot of suffering. Then I said that she won't listen, you know? So I'm 01:19:17.372 --> 01:19:19.294 - in a small country called Tibet. 01:19:20.066 --> 01:19:28.225 - So killed 1,000, 2 million people. And also I didn't see my parents, my family, especially my mother. 01:19:28.225 --> 01:19:36.464 - She's so wonderful. She's good. She cried for me, too, you know. That was very good, really. She cried 01:19:36.464 --> 01:19:44.463 - for me, really. It's good. I need to cry, too, with her. It's good. So I stopped. So then she said, 01:19:44.463 --> 01:19:48.702 - then why? Then how you look happy? Because if I cry, 01:19:49.026 --> 01:19:54.920 - crying is not much help. If I cry, oh, I can't see my mother, I've been here for 45 years, oh, 01:19:54.920 --> 01:20:00.938 - I love her, then you cry, then it doesn't work. Instead you cry, maybe you try to pray, to wish, 01:20:00.938 --> 01:20:07.143 - you know, to be happy. So that was the, you don't cry, you know, the doctor told you, you give your 01:20:07.143 --> 01:20:13.471 - gift within one month, who knows, eh? Maybe you still put 10 more years, who knows? And then they say 01:20:13.471 --> 01:20:17.566 - that your sister, you know, sick, if you cry, sister never cured. 01:20:18.018 --> 01:20:24.395 - So they don't cry, you know. So that means you're thinking too much. Oh, you mean I think too much? 01:20:24.395 --> 01:20:30.771 - I think you don't mind. You think a little too much. So that means you have to stop thinking. Yeah, 01:20:30.771 --> 01:20:37.148 - you stop thinking. Then it's OK. OK, she said, OK, I'll try. I'll try. She's a good one. She's very 01:20:37.148 --> 01:20:43.525 - kind, you know. I'll try. So then she said, after three days, she called me. Look, see, my eyes are 01:20:43.525 --> 01:20:45.374 - dry. I'm not crying anymore. 01:20:45.762 --> 01:20:51.689 - And I said, why? How? I never think you're right. I'm not thinking. Thinking stopped. So that's why 01:20:51.689 --> 01:20:57.735 - I think we're thinking something good or something not good. If you're thinking past thinking, you're 01:20:57.735 --> 01:21:03.602 - thinking bring back, you know. The Buddha said that. The Buddha said, what you done is done, past. 01:21:03.602 --> 01:21:09.707 - Let it go. Don't hold it. Something hurt you or something harm you. That's okay. This is mine. But not 01:21:09.707 --> 01:21:14.686 - the power of heart or not the human. He said, his power, he don't have the control. 01:21:15.074 --> 01:21:21.377 - You know, the country is strong by the division of think, you know. I'm sorry, it's okay. Good Lord, 01:21:21.377 --> 01:21:27.929 - the guns are gone. So I think that that was, she said, I hope so. I think so, she said, truth, you know. 01:21:27.929 --> 01:21:34.543 - Luke said, I'm not crying because I'm not thinking about it. You all right? I did it for 25 years. Still, 01:21:34.543 --> 01:21:41.470 - when you continue, I'm going to serve it. But it is, you know. You should do it. Don't give up. So that's why. 01:21:41.570 --> 01:21:48.415 - Our thinking is the most important or non-important. Thinking depends on how we think, you know. If 01:21:48.415 --> 01:21:55.396 - you're thinking in many different ways, that's not too good. If you're thinking how is our life used, 01:21:55.396 --> 01:22:02.309 - how is our opportunities, how is fortunate we are, and also how could, which thing I could do it. So 01:22:02.309 --> 01:22:09.359 - that talk about very much basically from the beginning one. Because why I talk today, because the next 01:22:09.359 --> 01:22:11.070 - quarter we'll talk about 01:22:11.618 --> 01:22:18.230 - for the chunk of a sudden it's really good. We took maybe two, at least three days. So then the learning 01:22:18.230 --> 01:22:24.780 - is more help. So if I don't mean like you already, I don't mean you don't know, you never heard people, 01:22:24.780 --> 01:22:31.077 - you heard already, you study already, all your practice already, the group is so wonderful and very 01:22:31.077 --> 01:22:37.501 - happy. Basically all of you know already. But we know, but we need to know, we need to use, you know, 01:22:37.501 --> 01:22:41.342 - which you know we have to use. So that's the most important. 01:22:43.650 --> 01:22:50.216 - I know I don't want to, you know, if I cheat people, hurt people, that we know already, but still doing, 01:22:50.216 --> 01:22:56.594 - you know, and then they're using. So then it's hard to stop, but it's still, you know, like the, with 01:22:56.594 --> 01:23:03.034 - the child and they're a little more loose and loose and loose, then it becomes more automatically good 01:23:03.034 --> 01:23:09.600 - social life. If it becomes a social life, then you will be more comfortable. If you're more comfortable, 01:23:09.600 --> 01:23:11.038 - more easy to meditate. 01:23:12.034 --> 01:23:18.991 - If you're more comfortable, then more easy to develop a positive, you know, positive way. Good calm, 01:23:18.991 --> 01:23:25.879 - a positive calm, you become comfortable. If you're not comfortable, never come positive mind. Never 01:23:25.879 --> 01:23:32.836 - continue with that understanding, and don't think your mind is calm, but you become comfortable. Oh, 01:23:32.836 --> 01:23:40.137 - I relax, I'm comfortable. Then you make it more comfortable, realize the body, physical, mind, everything 01:23:40.137 --> 01:23:41.790 - more relaxed, you know. 01:23:42.402 --> 01:23:50.114 - Then you do practice or meditate or whatever, thinking. So I think this is the, I don't know, something 01:23:50.114 --> 01:23:57.825 - I talk too much. I'm very careful. If I talk too much, this is what the lama talk too much. Yeah, yeah, 01:23:57.825 --> 01:24:05.240 - yeah, what do you talk? I don't know. What do you talk about? So which we're talking that I want to 01:24:05.240 --> 01:24:12.062 - say at least something you understand. Of course you understand. You understand right away. 01:24:12.258 --> 01:24:19.039 - But something you understand, something you got in your mind. So that means something we can use, 01:24:19.039 --> 01:24:26.098 - you know? We can use. So that's the most important, I guess, yeah. If you don't use it, then not much 01:24:26.098 --> 01:24:33.087 - help. And using could, okay, tomorrow, from tomorrow, I need to use something that I know. Tomorrow, 01:24:33.087 --> 01:24:40.629 - I don't go to work. I do practice meditation. They're not good either. Hon Ndhalama said that. Hon Ndhalama, 01:24:40.629 --> 01:24:41.598 - he said that. 01:24:41.794 --> 01:24:48.277 - You know, some people go or something like that. People, a lot more high, a lot more talking. Oh, kind 01:24:48.277 --> 01:24:54.571 - of like the, kind of like the, what do you call, yeah, kind of like the mind said, oh, no, right, I 01:24:54.571 --> 01:25:01.116 - think do more meditate, you know. And the seating is not good. I go on the mountain myself. The seating 01:25:01.116 --> 01:25:07.536 - is not good. Too many people, too many yo-yo talking and walking, so making me crazy. I better go sit 01:25:07.536 --> 01:25:08.606 - on the mountain. 01:25:09.986 --> 01:25:16.677 - Then they said, OK, I'm going. They never check how I sit or how I could get there. What is what you 01:25:16.677 --> 01:25:23.500 - do? You don't shake fast. Then they don't have too much brain money, don't need too much for food. You 01:25:23.500 --> 01:25:30.125 - could stay maybe one week. In one week, all the food is gone. Then they don't know what to do. When 01:25:30.125 --> 01:25:36.882 - you sit there, you have to do something. To get there, you have to practice how you practice, how you 01:25:36.882 --> 01:25:39.134 - manage yourself, how you control. 01:25:40.130 --> 01:25:47.610 - how you control your mind. It's harder, right? That's what we're doing, that's what we're understanding, 01:25:47.610 --> 01:25:55.161 - how the relative between us. So that make the mind getting soft. We're related to all. We're all related, 01:25:55.161 --> 01:26:02.214 - really. You know, related. Not just lifetime. This life, we're all different generation, different 01:26:02.214 --> 01:26:09.694 - generation, different country, different family. But we're related to one's lifetime. We're all related. 01:26:10.690 --> 01:26:18.699 - I was born anywhere, everywhere, each of us. So that we're talking. So that's why, say, okay, then meditate, 01:26:18.699 --> 01:26:26.047 - you could meditate then. You could forgive, whatever, and then many, many meditate, huh? Compassion 01:26:26.047 --> 01:26:33.689 - meditate, compassion meditate, take it through alone. You could meditate, shunyata, changing, whatever, 01:26:33.689 --> 01:26:40.670 - all you could meditate. But that's calm. That Lama says, okay, for more many people like that, 01:26:40.930 --> 01:26:47.293 - Oh, then all right, the city is so bad, it's so noisy. All the things, you know, now I go or something, 01:26:47.293 --> 01:26:53.534 - sit on the mountain. You go to the mountain, stay there two weeks. You can't stay on the mountain two 01:26:53.534 --> 01:26:59.713 - weeks, because then your food is gone. And there are not much tanking here, not much here, you know. 01:26:59.713 --> 01:27:05.892 - Out the food gone, in the food not much here, not much in the food here. I understand not much well. 01:27:05.892 --> 01:27:07.422 - So, then they come back. 01:27:07.970 --> 01:27:13.777 - After a week or two weeks, they come back. Three weeks after, then they're there. The person lose job, 01:27:13.777 --> 01:27:19.528 - but the job is gone. Then the friend is gone already. If you have three weeks to go on that, you have 01:27:19.528 --> 01:27:25.504 - a beautiful, nice friend, all your love, wonderful team friend. They take all gone now. That's something, 01:27:25.504 --> 01:27:31.311 - you know, to find a good other friend. You lose a friend. You lose opportunity. Everything, that's it. 01:27:31.311 --> 01:27:37.118 - Doesn't matter. You don't need to go that way. Where you stay, you could meditate. You could practice. 01:27:37.634 --> 01:27:45.687 - You could have parted in non-Dakotana. You could have parted in thinking, parted in thinking how, which 01:27:45.687 --> 01:27:53.662 - thing I could do. You say I could do anything else if I wished, if I do it. You're not going to clear, 01:27:53.662 --> 01:28:01.482 - then that may clear out. I'm going to read a book. I'm going to ask some discussion with the people, 01:28:01.482 --> 01:28:04.734 - Dharma groups. So that's called our life. 01:28:08.194 --> 01:28:17.984 - So maybe I think to let the rest, to keep a little time, if you have some questions, like which thing 01:28:17.984 --> 01:28:28.255 - you could do, how, whatever, you know. So you'd be, I tried, I hope I understand all. But still my English 01:28:28.255 --> 01:28:33.246 - very broke. And then also my hearing not too clear. 01:28:33.858 --> 01:28:43.344 - You talk a little loud. Hey, Rama, what is it? What do you mean, talk? That's what we call a Dharma 01:28:43.344 --> 01:28:53.399 - talk. They call it Dharma business. Dharma we call a good friend, best friend. Dharma always help. Dharma 01:28:53.399 --> 01:29:00.798 - come while we're diet. Only Dharma come with our mind, not the physical body. 01:29:02.018 --> 01:29:09.717 - Even the physical body that came from the mother's womb was still nine or 10 days in the mother's womb. 01:29:09.717 --> 01:29:17.120 - When it died, the body left, you know, mind go. So which mind? So we're talking which mind you are. 01:29:17.120 --> 01:29:24.523 - That got a good debate, you know. Which is the mind you? There are 52 different minds. 52 different 01:29:24.523 --> 01:29:31.038 - minds. Five senses will help. Which is you? You're the kind of mind. Which is the mind? 01:29:31.458 --> 01:29:37.439 - That color, they talk about it in the Middle Father philosophy, checking and thinking, you know? So 01:29:37.439 --> 01:29:43.481 - that thing you could, you could think, don't need to think it, I'm just, you know, talking. You say, 01:29:43.481 --> 01:29:49.642 - when you're thinking, I am myself, I'm very fortunate. But then you say, I'm fortunate, no, right? No, 01:29:49.642 --> 01:29:55.922 - that's work. Oh, I'm great, that's okay, I don't need to move, eh? I don't need to go, I just sit there, 01:29:55.922 --> 01:29:59.870 - that's I'm great one. How? How is it great? How we make it great? 01:30:00.770 --> 01:30:11.598 - So that thought we needed Dharma help, Dharma help us. Dharma make us success, Dharma make 01:30:11.598 --> 01:30:23.497 - us more comfortable, Dharma make us least attachment. That's good, thank you. Young, young compared 01:30:23.497 --> 01:30:29.566 - to the Dharma is good, thank you. Young age, yeah. 01:30:31.874 --> 01:30:38.934 - like the negative mind arises more easily than the positive mind? That is true. What is the reason for 01:30:38.934 --> 01:30:45.925 - that? I think more habit with negativity, you know? We don't have too much a habit with the positive. 01:30:45.925 --> 01:30:52.779 - That was called, I think, negative mind comes so quickly because more habit. And habit, right? Some 01:30:52.779 --> 01:31:00.318 - people want to talk all of that. That's not my choice. All of it come quickly. Kind of called habit, I guess. 01:31:00.770 --> 01:31:07.984 - Because the negative mind, what the beginning is, our life is not beginning, you know. There are always 01:31:07.984 --> 01:31:15.197 - something else negative. Negative mind comes so enjoy it too, you know. You could listen to some people 01:31:15.197 --> 01:31:22.272 - talking negative things. It can make a lot of fun too, you know, to listen to that. Like the positive 01:31:22.272 --> 01:31:29.278 - thing, it gets a little boring, you know. So that, of course, our negative comments are very strong. 01:31:29.890 --> 01:31:36.194 - Because it's strong, you know, negative can be real strong, that is true. Negative might come so quickly, 01:31:36.194 --> 01:31:41.904 - and also very sharp. Something happens, oh, I think, oh, I do this, you know, right, you think, 01:31:41.904 --> 01:31:47.971 - come right, idea come right away, negative one. But positive, you are right, you know, something, oh, 01:31:47.971 --> 01:31:54.097 - something in the method, something in the ideas, what do we do? We do not understand clearly. When you 01:31:54.097 --> 01:31:59.390 - meditate, not too clear, how is what you do? It's hard to find the ideas and method, eh? 01:31:59.746 --> 01:32:08.064 - You know, so those things come in little slow. But then you said, I think the difference of how is habit, 01:32:08.064 --> 01:32:16.382 - you know. Just automatically negatives are very strong habit because this is our karma, this is by habit. 01:32:29.762 --> 01:32:40.900 - I didn't, then I don't get, I don't hear properly. It's interesting because I capture, if you have a 01:32:40.900 --> 01:32:51.928 - habit and pattern of doing things that are unthought, but still in a positive fashion. Yeah, like a 01:32:51.928 --> 01:32:56.670 - political habit. Habit is, it is like say, 01:32:58.690 --> 01:33:06.324 - Actually, the habit gets stronger, more reminded, more thought. Like the habit, because the negative 01:33:06.324 --> 01:33:14.412 - habit comes so quickly. Negative thinking, because I don't want to remind automatically come. OK, tomorrow 01:33:14.412 --> 01:33:22.122 - I go over there because it is so clearly reminded. But then they just say, oh, it's like the negative 01:33:22.122 --> 01:33:28.094 - reminded, negative comes so quickly, because we make the, what do you call it? 01:33:28.418 --> 01:33:35.724 - and assistant, what they call, condition, make very strong quickly. So that, of course, that, as like 01:33:35.724 --> 01:33:43.103 - the negative, we get to give a wonderful, clear condition that you get to so quickly. As what negative 01:33:43.103 --> 01:33:50.266 - that do, like that the people do practice meditation. When you meditate, I'm not thinking about for 01:33:50.266 --> 01:33:57.214 - now. I'm not thinking, not worry about. And meditate, like I say, when thinking, okay, you know, 01:33:57.314 --> 01:34:05.345 - like the forgiveness or whatever, forgiveness or thinking about which I had done, which I had done something 01:34:05.345 --> 01:34:12.786 - wrong, which is going to keep me in the, with the remind in the mind. There, then to slowly make the 01:34:12.786 --> 01:34:20.227 - regress, you know, regress, you know, regress, yeah, clear, regress. Oh, I think I've done that one. 01:34:20.227 --> 01:34:24.574 - If I do this, then the negative mind will come so quickly. 01:34:24.962 --> 01:34:32.514 - If I do with regrets, I couldn't make a pure path. It's a good chance now, because the positive might 01:34:32.514 --> 01:34:40.140 - get still very weaker. If I do think it, so then the positive gets a little more clear. Just like they 01:34:40.140 --> 01:34:47.840 - said, it spits out a lot of clouds, clouds completely covered. So then there's something like the start 01:34:47.840 --> 01:34:54.430 - of the wind coming, the wind blow out. When the wind blow out, it pushes all the clouds. 01:34:55.074 --> 01:35:02.344 - That's the same thing. Our negative mind is very deep, like the cloud, dark cloud. So then the whole, 01:35:02.344 --> 01:35:09.899 - the wind doesn't blow out. So the wind, because that's what the people do, like meditation, visualization 01:35:09.899 --> 01:35:17.311 - of the natures, light rays, you know. So that's what we're doing that. We do the Sankalpa Sathana, that 01:35:17.311 --> 01:35:22.942 - will make the, try to get like the light rays, you know, white, red, and blue. 01:35:23.682 --> 01:35:35.564 - in many different color pain. The color is like the wind, you know, the wind calm or the clouds be push 01:35:35.564 --> 01:35:47.332 - back. That's what we do to get the stronger or the habit or positive habit, get a stronger collection. 01:35:47.332 --> 01:35:53.502 - And also, yeah, so much easy to, not too easy anyway, 01:35:54.370 --> 01:36:03.358 - You couldn't do it still. So that we'll do something in a few days. We'll talk a little more. More kind 01:36:03.358 --> 01:36:12.865 - of like meditation. Meditation, many, many different meditation, you know? Many different type of meditation. 01:36:12.865 --> 01:36:21.508 - But we do which kind of like the way, you know, whatever we can. Like we need like the more stable, 01:36:21.508 --> 01:36:22.718 - minor stable. 01:36:23.810 --> 01:36:37.686 - mind always wandering. So then the heart will stop. We will kind of do talking, we meditate in a few 01:36:37.686 --> 01:36:52.798 - days. Yeah? The teachings that ground karma make it logically reasonable, that's in the Abhidharma teachings? 01:36:53.122 --> 01:37:02.496 - In Abhidhamma also basically teaching in the Pajna Parliament. Basically talking how to collaborate, 01:37:02.496 --> 01:37:12.241 - how to be open, basically in the Pajna Parliament. Then they actually call it, that we need to use both. 01:37:12.241 --> 01:37:18.366 - Not the right word, like sutra, tantra. Sutra make like the salt. 01:37:19.138 --> 01:37:24.894 - Like I said, left over the three, four dishes, left over the dishes, you know? Dirty dishes, eh? You 01:37:24.894 --> 01:37:30.764 - don't do what, not put in the water, leave it there, so hard to wash, you know? So then there was that 01:37:30.764 --> 01:37:36.577 - kind of dirty dishes, eh? We eat, many people come party, good party, eh? All the dishes are put over 01:37:36.577 --> 01:37:42.163 - there. You don't look at the water, you don't wash for the couple days, it's really hard to wash, 01:37:42.163 --> 01:37:46.494 - you know? All the stock there, foods and the plant, hard to wash, you know? 01:37:46.658 --> 01:37:53.637 - That I put in the, one of the two, you know, double sink, double sink, what? Double sink? In the kitchen, 01:37:53.637 --> 01:38:00.418 - some of them double when I have that one. It's good, huh? I put a little sock, little water. Not cold, 01:38:00.418 --> 01:38:06.804 - like the warm water, keep it there. I leave there for, for more than half hour. So easy to wash, 01:38:06.804 --> 01:38:13.585 - you know? So same like that. They call that how to wash, how to sock. To sock like the part at all the 01:38:13.585 --> 01:38:16.350 - beginning, all the foundation, the using. 01:38:16.674 --> 01:38:24.607 - Those can make like the salt. When they finally make a pure part of that, you got to, you know, that's 01:38:24.607 --> 01:38:32.386 - how it's done to help, too. So you don't need to buy, like, when they clean the dish, you don't need 01:38:32.386 --> 01:38:39.780 - to use your heart, don't you? For example. So that's called our habit, not too easy to wrap up, 01:38:39.780 --> 01:38:44.478 - you know? Wondering, confusion, ah, I don't want to do that. 01:38:44.994 --> 01:38:52.639 - You know, easy to save, but not easy at all. But you have to soak. You soak when you need it. 01:38:52.639 --> 01:39:01.097 - When you soak, you need to buy the material, the soak, you know, and put it there, leave it there. Easy 01:39:01.097 --> 01:39:09.230 - to wash it. Much easier. So that's why we need to understand how we soak, how we use it, how we put 01:39:09.230 --> 01:39:14.110 - on first. Just like if you put no water, just put it there. 01:39:14.690 --> 01:39:20.665 - When you soak it, it doesn't work. You need water. Water lack compassion. So that we need water. That 01:39:20.665 --> 01:39:26.992 - we need better compassion. Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, 01:39:26.992 --> 01:39:33.319 - Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, 01:39:33.319 --> 01:39:39.645 - Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, 01:39:39.645 --> 01:39:42.750 - Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee, Hingjee 01:39:43.650 --> 01:39:51.143 - You don't have to know any water in your garden, your yard. Nothing has to grow up. I like the flowers, 01:39:51.143 --> 01:39:58.420 - you know. But I don't do it very much. So my friends are so good. They come in the summer, clean up, 01:39:58.420 --> 01:40:05.697 - put the water, put the flowers. So that's wonderful, you know. Feel good, eh? When the flowers come, 01:40:05.697 --> 01:40:12.254 - they need the water. And not only would the water does work, then they need the land pure. 01:40:13.250 --> 01:40:21.779 - But land there, I suppose land, land like the kind of loving kindness, really. We need land. That people 01:40:21.779 --> 01:40:30.145 - say, though I have beautiful land, anything grow up, eh? You put the water, already did that, you have 01:40:30.145 --> 01:40:38.593 - some kind of compassion. No, no loving kindness. It doesn't work. Because underground there's some kind 01:40:38.593 --> 01:40:41.598 - of art, or big rock, big trees root. 01:40:41.858 --> 01:40:49.087 - There's nothing to grow up. We would put water still, not too good, you know. It doesn't go to the sea 01:40:49.087 --> 01:40:56.316 - to grow down, right? So that we need is very important, like the Chan Thon Hin Jee. Chan Thon Hin Jee, 01:40:56.316 --> 01:41:03.405 - 11 kinds of compassion, so important. So we do more practice. It is important, not enough only talk, 01:41:03.405 --> 01:41:10.494 - not enough only understanding. We're going to use it. Hard to use in the future. Few days I will do. 01:41:10.626 --> 01:41:17.895 - Meditate one day, a couple of hours, meditate for the love of God, not a couple, for a few minutes, 01:41:17.895 --> 01:41:25.163 - eh? A few minutes better, eh? Four minutes for meditation for the love of Godness, four minutes for 01:41:25.163 --> 01:41:32.578 - the meditation of compassion. So this is true calm, that we have land, we have water, land is smooth. 01:41:32.578 --> 01:41:38.974 - We have land already, but still land not clean. Land was a rock, a tank, you know, dry. 01:41:39.330 --> 01:41:48.303 - All are for land, that's equal to nothing. So that's where we land already. In fact, there are a lot 01:41:48.303 --> 01:41:57.365 - of kindness that does work. There's a lot of compassion. So that's what Chantung Hing, Chantung Hing, 01:41:57.365 --> 01:42:06.782 - these truths, all those come together, they want help. So how we get together? So, yeah, so that I would, 01:42:07.042 --> 01:42:13.867 - how we plant and how we put the water. If we put too much water, then we're not good. Anyway, no help, 01:42:13.867 --> 01:42:20.824 - you know. All the roots are wet. So that the people said they put something to seed. Seed already there. 01:42:20.824 --> 01:42:27.516 - The water come quickly, you know. Quick, put all under the water, then it grow quickly. Water is the 01:42:27.516 --> 01:42:33.214 - limit, you know. How much, if too much water, the seed doesn't come. I did one there. 01:42:34.306 --> 01:42:41.280 - The friend of mine bought a beautiful plant. Oh, it's so beautiful. Hey, Lama, don't forget the water. 01:42:41.280 --> 01:42:48.051 - Sure. I like to keep it nice, you know. I put the moss every day. One day it's dead. It's gone. But 01:42:48.051 --> 01:42:54.889 - that's why you should say, really, your wish, I want to keep it strong. I want to keep the beautiful 01:42:54.889 --> 01:42:59.358 - flower all the way to grow up. I want to put water, water, water. 01:43:00.002 --> 01:43:07.929 - Water you put too much water. If you put warm water, hot water, it's more dangerous. Instead you grow 01:43:07.929 --> 01:43:15.856 - up, it makes damage. So that's why we need a foundation when you put it. If the foundation is strong, 01:43:15.856 --> 01:43:23.938 - pink, cold, still we don't put it there. Not yet. Not yet we put it in a boiling water tank. Not really 01:43:23.938 --> 01:43:29.534 - cold. The water is like that. So that's how we use it, how we practice. 01:43:30.274 --> 01:43:37.998 - You can't jump right with a very high tantra practice. You could do it. It's good. But I don't know 01:43:37.998 --> 01:43:45.953 - that that might help right away. No. Because tantra practice is like the seal, eh? Yeah, I'll tell you 01:43:45.953 --> 01:43:54.063 - the truth. It's like... That's good as what our teacher told us. Like the foundation practice. You know, 01:43:54.063 --> 01:43:56.766 - the beginning foundation practice. 01:43:56.898 --> 01:44:02.986 - That's the most important, because like the building of the house, foundation, that you need the wall. 01:44:02.986 --> 01:44:09.073 - The wall we're talking, love and kindness, compassion, bodhicitta, shunyata, those four is the really, 01:44:09.073 --> 01:44:15.220 - exactly the four directions of the wall. Now you have foundation, you have four directions of the wall, 01:44:15.220 --> 01:44:21.190 - understand? No, it's very solid wall, not too good anyway. They're good anyway. There's still a wall 01:44:21.190 --> 01:44:25.918 - there, and there's a wall there, a wall here. Then you could put a seal easily, 01:44:26.850 --> 01:44:33.565 - You said, OK, I have a wall already, one side, one or two sides of one wall. There's otherwise no wall 01:44:33.565 --> 01:44:40.214 - there. Then the sealer won't stay, right? You put the sealer, but then the four, that can equal that. 01:44:40.214 --> 01:44:46.733 - Then the sealer put it properly away. That one is necessary now, because they hold you by the wall. 01:44:46.733 --> 01:44:53.317 - But they don't have a wall here. Then the sealer come down. So that call, we're trying to understand 01:44:53.317 --> 01:44:56.446 - in a proper way, loving kindness practice. How? 01:44:57.314 --> 01:45:04.306 - how you practice loving kindness. How I love myself, I love my friends, and not only that, how loving 01:45:04.306 --> 01:45:11.367 - kindness is. So that is compassion practice. Then I call it bodhicitta practice, bodhisattva practice. 01:45:11.367 --> 01:45:18.359 - How? Everybody wants bodhisattva. How to become a bodhisattva? What can we practice? What is what you 01:45:18.359 --> 01:45:25.215 - do? So bodhisattva practice. So bodhisattva practice, like I said, you're thinking, and I wanted to 01:45:25.215 --> 01:45:27.134 - help all of my other beings 01:45:27.682 --> 01:45:35.686 - But I don't have a call of fire now. I don't have a power yet. You just say you're watching. You switch 01:45:35.686 --> 01:45:43.690 - with the power. The power is enlightened mind, Buddha heart, enlightened mind. Enlightened mind to know 01:45:43.690 --> 01:45:51.617 - everything. That's why I'm going to call it Sarava Jhana. Sarava Jhana, that's why I call it Tam Chin. 01:45:51.617 --> 01:45:53.310 - It's really straight. 01:45:54.082 --> 01:46:02.740 - Sawa means all, gentlemen understand all. That knowledge is needed. So that knowledge comes. I do practice. 01:46:02.740 --> 01:46:10.836 - I do something. I call it, you try to get the bodhicitta mind. Now you meditate, you know, just like 01:46:10.836 --> 01:46:19.173 - we meditate. Before we meditate, okay, so I need to get the power. And I do meditate because I develop, 01:46:19.173 --> 01:46:23.582 - I get to store my power. Mind, you know, merit, karma. 01:46:23.746 --> 01:46:30.039 - by understanding all the mountains. They might have collected all knowledge come together, 01:46:30.039 --> 01:46:36.955 - then you become a, then say whatever you're doing, meditate, not only my own. I do meditate, we all 01:46:36.955 --> 01:46:44.355 - pray together, just to benefit the world peace. Then you get more, get stronger, mind getting so stronger, 01:46:44.355 --> 01:46:50.302 - stronger. Why, why I need to talk, why we do the world peace, I don't care, you know. 01:46:51.010 --> 01:46:57.775 - I don't want all the world to be at peace. Some words are good, I like it. Some words I don't like it. 01:46:57.775 --> 01:47:04.539 - They're not good, you know. I wish the Chinese were not at peace. They're not right either. They don't 01:47:04.539 --> 01:47:11.632 - want to suffer. The Chinese like it. They will say we call the Chinese bad, bad because of their government 01:47:11.632 --> 01:47:18.396 - policies. Not only people. People are all the same. People are all the same feeling. People don't have 01:47:18.396 --> 01:47:19.710 - power. It is right. 01:47:20.002 --> 01:47:27.533 - In the 80s, 86 square miles of their own children, 6 or 7,000 killed because of the government policies, 01:47:27.533 --> 01:47:34.993 - you know. So that's where the Dharma really helped. The Dharma trying to take it completely, my brother 01:47:34.993 --> 01:47:42.238 - killed, I didn't see it, but still, it's so, I don't know, not that bad, you know. Not that kind of, 01:47:42.238 --> 01:47:48.478 - oh, we should not think it's so hard. So that's what we think in our karma, our karma. 01:47:49.442 --> 01:47:55.478 - We've done something before, something else, karma, you know? So that we could be thinking. That was 01:47:55.478 --> 01:48:01.574 - what dharma help, really help. Karma's funny, you know? In Tibet, the Chinese think about it. But now 01:48:01.574 --> 01:48:07.909 - when they come here in the West, most of them are sponsored by the Chinese. The family, the other family, 01:48:07.909 --> 01:48:13.946 - they bought a house for me. It's good, isn't it? And also they help a lot. Then the people come, and 01:48:13.946 --> 01:48:17.950 - my members, a lot of Chinese members, you know? It doesn't matter. 01:48:18.370 --> 01:48:29.148 - in the Western, like in the world, to become a guy, the better, the better. If it, I don't know, maybe 01:48:29.148 --> 01:48:39.611 - I talk too much, I guess. More? Thank you. Yeah, so, so that's called a much easier, that much that 01:48:39.611 --> 01:48:46.622 - he take here, he give permission for me. More, okay, I'll go more. 01:48:47.970 --> 01:48:54.389 - So that might help, really. If you understand it, that might. I don't mean to understand it completely 01:48:54.389 --> 01:49:00.372 - all. It's not possible. We'll go to gradually, slowly, step by step. That's called a long ring, 01:49:00.372 --> 01:49:06.667 - you know. It's kind of a pattern, you know. Graduation, gradually, slowly, slowly. You can't go when 01:49:06.667 --> 01:49:12.961 - you're 10 years old. You can't study for the high school, you know. It's hard. You go to kind of get 01:49:12.961 --> 01:49:15.454 - a grade one or two. That's really true. 01:49:16.066 --> 01:49:23.467 - Our levels of mind level could slowly, slowly develop. Most important, like they say, motivations are 01:49:23.467 --> 01:49:30.722 - important. The motivation is you think you can make a strong yourself. How could they do it? It was 01:49:30.722 --> 01:49:38.123 - not a competition. I don't know. I could be here, could know like that. How could they do it? Because 01:49:38.123 --> 01:49:45.886 - I have opportunity. Since you're using it, now I talk about that. Since you're using it, it's in our mind. 01:49:46.562 --> 01:49:56.543 - our mind, who is you? Self-consciousness. It's called self-conscious. Maybe I don't know, self-conscious. 01:49:56.543 --> 01:50:06.241 - The basic mind, the mind was before, mind. And now, come here now. In future level, the mind go beyond 01:50:06.241 --> 01:50:12.926 - future. That kind of mind called self. So that mind is naturally pure. 01:50:13.890 --> 01:50:23.396 - Our minds are all pure. Then you say, okay, my mind is pure, because my mind really is basically pure. 01:50:23.396 --> 01:50:32.903 - Then why I'm not pure? I'm pure already. Because the Sutras say, Lama said, my mind is pure. From now, 01:50:32.903 --> 01:50:42.686 - I'm pure person. Call me hey, pure person. But not pure yet. That Buddha is so good, Buddha talk so good. 01:50:42.818 --> 01:50:52.102 - Your mind is really pure. You have something temporal, so covered it. Covered, you know? Like a pillow 01:50:52.102 --> 01:51:00.844 - covered, nobody can see it. If I go there, nobody's going to see my hand there. They're covered, 01:51:00.844 --> 01:51:10.399 - you know? That's called temporal. Temporal, we have something in the mind. We'll cover it. Not to collect 01:51:10.399 --> 01:51:11.390 - something. 01:51:11.938 --> 01:51:19.753 - not much compassion there, not much thinking, you know, darkness mind there. The darkness mind, wandering 01:51:19.753 --> 01:51:26.904 - mind, confusion mind, they're not permanent. You could do slowly, slowly, one by one, you could, 01:51:26.904 --> 01:51:34.498 - you know, declaration, declaration of pure path, slowly, slowly, one by one. That we have opportunity. 01:51:34.498 --> 01:51:39.806 - So we can't make our mind pure by money, you know, by power, you can't. 01:51:40.738 --> 01:51:49.489 - You know, this is what people to reach, you know, on all the Buddha already. Who are taking my negative, 01:51:49.489 --> 01:51:57.906 - I pay you $1,000, okay? Take it. Give me the Oshenisha. Buddha has the Oshenisha. You pay up $1,000, 01:51:57.906 --> 01:52:06.240 - you can't buy Oshenisha. You can't buy power. So, don't think we have power. Don't think we need to 01:52:06.240 --> 01:52:08.990 - know what kind of person we are. 01:52:09.602 --> 01:52:16.198 - Each of our mind is really is the seed that basically is in nature is really pure. The pure will create 01:52:16.198 --> 01:52:22.794 - it. Pure lack of the knowledge, the pure show up. Pure is going to cover it. Pure is going to darkness. 01:52:22.794 --> 01:52:29.136 - Like the spring water, pure, you know. In summer, then the water lot, the water of the winter comes 01:52:29.136 --> 01:52:35.606 - out, dries it, you can make the water, make it dirty. So that the water pure, but you have to look at 01:52:35.606 --> 01:52:38.206 - it, you know. So that's called our mind. 01:52:38.882 --> 01:52:45.442 - or morning running, pure water, or find something very special. That we need the ones that we may clean 01:52:45.442 --> 01:52:51.812 - up, water cleaning, and that's what we're doing. So then to say that that kind of cleaning, the one, 01:52:51.812 --> 01:52:58.120 - oh, I do first of all, first I do something to make a little money, make a little more success, and 01:52:58.120 --> 01:53:03.166 - then the other one I get 35, 40, then I start to meditate. Then you never know. 01:53:04.130 --> 01:53:12.484 - you never know which is 35 come first or my death come first. So then they said at least we need to 01:53:12.484 --> 01:53:21.088 - think in. Don't think in how I die tomorrow. Of course not. All of you are much, much younger than me. 01:53:21.088 --> 01:53:30.110 - Never die for too much. Never die for many, many years. But we're not sure. Some tomorrow and who's coming. 01:53:31.714 --> 01:53:37.714 - Then this is why, when you think about it, why would we think about it? Because if I die, I have to 01:53:37.714 --> 01:53:43.774 - be becoming good. Good, if you might be becoming in future life, you know? Good becoming good or not 01:53:43.774 --> 01:53:49.774 - good, it depends on my own. Then they say, oh, you done good, you're not a part of good, but you're 01:53:49.774 --> 01:53:56.014 - still a good man. I make you a good life in future life. It doesn't work. You know, I doesn't know when 01:53:56.014 --> 01:54:01.534 - to bathe, you know? But I want all of being. But I want everyone to bathe in our suffering. 01:54:02.178 --> 01:54:16.032 - But does it work? Buddha said that. But he can take by hand, you know. You have a lot of headache, I 01:54:16.032 --> 01:54:29.748 - take away, okay? So he can do that. And then the tree, the tree in the water, you can wash the mind 01:54:29.748 --> 01:54:31.806 - of negativity. 01:54:32.386 --> 01:54:40.586 - Confusion. Oh, today I'm really confused. I'm going to take a shower. It's good to help to clean the 01:54:40.586 --> 01:54:48.462 - body, you know, but not confusion. Confusion is always there. You can't be washed by negativity, 01:54:48.462 --> 01:54:57.231 - you know. Anger attacks. Oh, so angry. I'm going to take a shower, you know. Put a lot of soap or whatever, 01:54:57.231 --> 01:55:01.534 - you know. Shampoo, that's all. Body is good. That... 01:55:01.762 --> 01:55:10.304 - He has the power. I am Buddha. I have a power. I'm going to share you something. I'll give you some 01:55:10.304 --> 01:55:18.846 - of my power. He can't give my hand. But he gave us his teaching, his idea, his method. What he did, 01:55:18.846 --> 01:55:27.473 - he showed us, he shared us. He's very good. He's very kind, you know. He shared us how to do, how is 01:55:27.473 --> 01:55:29.694 - what to do. He shared us. 01:55:30.082 --> 01:55:43.120 - He showed us how the method, how it's supposed to start, what it's supposed to do right away. 01:55:43.120 --> 01:55:54.910 - So he showed us. That you could understand the dharma that we have to use, you know. 01:55:56.034 --> 01:56:03.500 - You see me, like I said, slowly, slowly, one by one, small thing fast. Oh, this is small. It's OK. That's 01:56:03.500 --> 01:56:10.614 - my habit. I'm always short tempered. It's OK. I yard my wife. I'm not going to talk harsh words with 01:56:10.614 --> 01:56:17.799 - other people. Then they call, no, that's OK. That's my habit. I can't do it. That's my habit. And the 01:56:17.799 --> 01:56:25.758 - habit always stay there. No habit. It is a habit. But I don't do it. Why? Because somebody is too mean, you see. 01:56:26.370 --> 01:56:40.075 - How I help you? No, I don't. So that's the call, Dharma help. That really true, you know. If you understand 01:56:40.075 --> 01:56:53.146 - all those like the seven stage path of Bodhisattva, you'll never be alone, you'll never lonely, you'll 01:56:53.146 --> 01:56:56.318 - never miss your country. 01:56:56.866 --> 01:57:03.174 - People say, oh, I miss the country. I want to go back. Oh, I miss the country. Countries are countries. 01:57:03.174 --> 01:57:09.603 - Where you go, you could see the same thing. And now you could see people, all that might relate to people 01:57:09.603 --> 01:57:15.668 - like that. You never miss it. Never homesick. Never homesick. If instead you're homesick, you could 01:57:15.668 --> 01:57:21.733 - more enjoy it. You stay in India for maybe Africa for a little while, you'll be homesick. You'll be 01:57:21.733 --> 01:57:25.918 - more enjoy it. I went over there for Mata Habu. I learned very much. 01:57:26.402 --> 01:57:34.105 - people so good, very social. They speak French. I don't know what you mean. I said something. I understood 01:57:34.105 --> 01:57:41.448 - the Belgian was something good. I said, hi, Belgian. They like that, aren't they? So later they said, 01:57:41.448 --> 01:57:48.287 - hi, Tibetan. I said, hi, Moroccan. That's all. It's good, huh? People are very social. People, 01:57:48.287 --> 01:57:53.758 - where you go, it doesn't matter how to you. Honest, you know. Where you go, 01:57:54.402 --> 01:58:01.580 - And if you become more open-minded, you know, then they're open-minded too. So happy. The open-minded 01:58:01.580 --> 01:58:07.984 - calm, basically understanding is the dharma, you see. We're not different. We're different 01:58:07.984 --> 01:58:14.740 - like a nationality, family, you know, different family, different name. But we're all the same. 01:58:14.740 --> 01:58:21.919 - That's really, basically, you see. We're all the same feeling. For momentary, we all think, I want to 01:58:21.919 --> 01:58:23.678 - be happy. I worship you. 01:58:24.066 --> 01:58:33.887 - Oh, everybody think it that way. I'd be wonderful, very, you know, successful in my mind. Be calm. I'd 01:58:33.887 --> 01:58:43.518 - be understanding well. Everybody think it that way. They do all the same thing. So that's the way of 01:58:43.518 --> 01:58:52.862 - opportunity. That's all. That's our topic. Okay? So that tomorrow for maybe three, three evening, 01:58:53.154 --> 01:59:00.871 - We're going to talk about the Lama Tsongkhapa Sadhana. That's a really good one. So then also not the 01:59:00.871 --> 01:59:08.664 - only part, they show a very good method, so wonderful, how authorization, how your practice is talking 01:59:08.664 --> 01:59:16.683 - there, too. Okay. Then we'll talk about the learning. Learning, short learning is three principles apart. 01:59:16.683 --> 01:59:21.374 - They come back in three principles, basically three subjects. 01:59:21.890 --> 01:59:28.353 - renunciation, bodhichitta, shunyata. So at the end of the day, we talk a little more about shunyata, 01:59:28.353 --> 01:59:34.880 - emptiness, baldness, nothingness. I'm not empty. Everything is empty. The house is empty. Is that not 01:59:34.880 --> 01:59:41.407 - empty? There's all the four insides on there. The glands are running. They're not empty. Your stomach 01:59:41.407 --> 01:59:48.126 - is empty? It is empty. No, I just eat it, you know? The house is empty. Those things are very important, 01:59:48.126 --> 01:59:51.070 - really. So shunyata, that's called emptiness. 01:59:53.058 --> 01:59:59.223 - How's the emptiness? We'll talk more, huh? If you talk too deep, then they're too hard, you know? 01:59:59.223 --> 02:00:05.828 - So I said, oh, no, they're too hard. No, I don't want to go anymore. You know how to talk. We understand 02:00:05.828 --> 02:00:12.307 - very well. We're good to communicate. Anyway, thank you very much. I remember that much. I have to say 02:00:12.307 --> 02:00:18.786 - thank you. We have another hour. Huh? We have another hour. Another hour? One more hour. You see that? 02:00:18.786 --> 02:00:20.862 - 12-4? Well, that's a 12-3. Good. 02:00:22.914 --> 02:00:32.720 - That's a good reminder, Mr. Joe. That's a really old book. I was scared. So, good. So you want to let 02:00:32.720 --> 02:00:43.102 - it go or something, watch it, or I think you could take a few minutes easier. It will come back. Thank you. 02:01:22.658 --> 02:01:51.902 - Three more hours, right? It's magic. 02:01:53.090 --> 02:02:05.265 - So nothing else makes noise. Touch, stop the sound. You like that, don't you? Yeah, I like it. I think 02:02:05.265 --> 02:02:17.559 - what we might do should meditate. What are you thinking? If you continue talking, you're getting tired. 02:02:17.559 --> 02:02:22.878 - If you continue talking, you continue to put 02:02:23.010 --> 02:02:32.216 - You tear in the cup. The cup almost full. You start to put it all, then it won't stay in the cup anymore. 02:02:32.216 --> 02:02:40.900 - Too full. It come out. So maybe we talk more tomorrow in the evening. We do meditate. So then many, 02:02:40.900 --> 02:02:49.758 - many, many can meditate. I don't know what kind of meditation we do. We make the control mind, higher 02:02:49.758 --> 02:02:50.974 - control mind. 02:02:52.962 --> 02:03:00.391 - It's easy to say, oh, I control mind, oh, my mind is, how you control mind? Very, very hard. You know, 02:03:00.391 --> 02:03:07.965 - how you control mind? How you stop thinking, you know? And also the many people meditate, I go meditate, 02:03:07.965 --> 02:03:15.394 - they're good. Then you meditate, they're calm, you know? All the mind is calm. All the wandering calm. 02:03:15.394 --> 02:03:21.886 - Yesterday mind calm, yesterday happiness calm. Oh, you meditate, it looks good, you know? 02:03:23.170 --> 02:03:30.736 - They're all thinking what they did to me, what happened to me, hurt to me, all those things in mind, 02:03:30.736 --> 02:03:38.526 - they come. And so those in mind, they will have to stop. How you stop? This is bad in mind. Don't come. 02:03:38.526 --> 02:03:46.167 - It's more come. Yeah. You know, that's really true. If you say, oh, confusion, my attached, my angry, 02:03:46.167 --> 02:03:51.710 - not good, don't come anymore. They come more. So then that's what you do. 02:03:52.098 --> 02:03:59.290 - How are we dealing with confusion, attachment, anger, sorrow, you know? So that is meditation. They 02:03:59.290 --> 02:04:06.842 - call kind of like the open, you know, dealing with the negative mind, kind of dealing with it, you know? 02:04:06.842 --> 02:04:14.322 - It's good, you know? If you're really angry with somebody, just try to be a little calm, you're dealing 02:04:14.322 --> 02:04:17.918 - with somebody, then people become more calm, too. 02:04:18.722 --> 02:04:28.531 - And this one depends on what. Maybe we do meditate on the, on the, what do you call it? Check meditation. 02:04:28.531 --> 02:04:37.969 - Check. What do you check? You check by the don't stop. Check means like say, for example, in a store, 02:04:37.969 --> 02:04:47.038 - like a storekeeper or security people, big shopping center, one or two security people, security. 02:04:47.746 --> 02:04:55.610 - looking, people go try to shop, they try to steal, you know. People looking, you know. People looking. 02:04:55.610 --> 02:05:03.245 - So then the caller, one of the, when the bad person go in the store, try to look in the nice watch. 02:05:03.245 --> 02:05:11.032 - Wonderful. Look at this, nobody there. It's good. Anyway, anyway. If you just saw the security there, 02:05:11.032 --> 02:05:17.598 - they will never do it. Somebody look to him. It's good. Put it properly. Very gentle. 02:05:18.274 --> 02:05:26.895 - but attached already. They want to take away, but they don't put it back because they want to make a 02:05:26.895 --> 02:05:35.430 - total. So, that for example, what you say, whatever mind come wandering, thinking, attached, so on, 02:05:35.430 --> 02:05:43.453 - any kind of mind, let it come. Let it come, let it open, make a friend, a very social friend, 02:05:43.453 --> 02:05:47.294 - open the window, open the door. Let it come. 02:05:48.098 --> 02:05:56.730 - Let me just say, open your mind. Don't think, oh, that's a bad mind. It hurt me a lot. Don't think that. 02:05:56.730 --> 02:06:04.292 - It's very much used to be, which come more first, confusion, or attach, or anger, whatever, 02:06:04.292 --> 02:06:13.335 - any kind of mind. I let, I want to open. I open for dealing with you, calm, well-account. Make an invitation, 02:06:13.335 --> 02:06:15.390 - well-account, hey, guys. 02:06:15.650 --> 02:06:23.199 - I have a lot of good friends, negative friends, but you're strong. They just say you're bad. Don't say 02:06:23.199 --> 02:06:30.675 - bad. You're good. I want to see you. I want to fight. I want to understand you better. I want to know 02:06:30.675 --> 02:06:38.004 - better. You're good. You're a good one. I want to know a little better. So then the negative one is 02:06:38.004 --> 02:06:44.894 - so smart. They don't want to get close. They don't want to let you know us. Confusion, anger. 02:06:45.794 --> 02:06:52.813 - So, that kind of mind is really good, kind of like part of the Mahamudra Meditation. You could open 02:06:52.813 --> 02:07:00.114 - the mind, let it come, no matter what you have, something like that, wandering, confusion, so on. Maybe 02:07:00.114 --> 02:07:07.133 - somebody don't have nothing. Maybe somebody have, you know, like the wandering, attached, tomorrow, 02:07:07.133 --> 02:07:14.433 - the doting, oh, negative mind, let it come. Let it come, where you can watch what kind of mind is, what 02:07:14.433 --> 02:07:15.486 - the action is. 02:07:16.258 --> 02:07:24.305 - Like the attachment come, don't push right away. The good attachment are desire attachment. You're thinking, 02:07:24.305 --> 02:07:32.131 - what kind of attachment is? What kind of mind action? What mind, what mind, that mind going, what they're 02:07:32.131 --> 02:07:39.662 - using? How is the attitude? You know, each mind let to open. Open your mind, let it come. And you let 02:07:39.662 --> 02:07:45.790 - it come, they say, they say, oh, I'm very, I make all the invitation. Please come. 02:07:46.146 --> 02:07:52.546 - The food is there. The deserve is there. Drink once, get whatever you want, please come. You have to 02:07:52.546 --> 02:07:59.009 - come open it, you know? Open the windows, the door. Anybody you are conscious of, all the senses, all 02:07:59.009 --> 02:08:05.599 - the five feelings, all of that, open it. You open it, I want to catch today. That's the main principle, 02:08:05.599 --> 02:08:12.062 - I want to catch. That's what people do, you know, like the hawk. Not the one that they need, they put 02:08:12.062 --> 02:08:15.294 - something out, there's food, they don't need that. 02:08:15.874 --> 02:08:24.113 - put a tool in the water and lick it, then the fish will pour on poor fish to bite, you know. They need 02:08:24.113 --> 02:08:31.472 - to eat that. So, same thing I want to catch today, I want to catch. Long time not to catch. 02:08:31.472 --> 02:08:38.911 - I wished it. I wished today I want to catch something else. I want to catch one strong fish. 02:08:38.911 --> 02:08:44.030 - Strong mind, confusion, attach, anger, so on. So, I have a lot. 02:08:44.482 --> 02:08:50.583 - So did you just say, I don't want to push, you know? You're good, you're good, you're a good mind, eh? 02:08:50.583 --> 02:08:56.743 - You just come back what it is, you know? Just let the calm completely relax, not try to open, not close 02:08:56.743 --> 02:09:02.844 - the door. Just let it open, open the door, open the window completely, open it. You meditate thinking. 02:09:02.844 --> 02:09:09.300 - You think that you're just waiting, you know? You're waiting. Then there was the mind calm, like a negative, 02:09:09.300 --> 02:09:13.150 - you know, you're just waiting the negative mind, confusion mind. 02:09:13.698 --> 02:09:20.816 - Attachment, so own. So attachment come, you're watching, what is he doing? What is he doing? Attachment, 02:09:20.816 --> 02:09:27.595 - the moment it comes, attachment in my car. You're thinking about it. Or you're thinking, attachment 02:09:27.595 --> 02:09:34.646 - might go right away. You don't need to push your own. Oh, I don't want it, don't sit. You want to catch 02:09:34.646 --> 02:09:41.086 - it, they're smart, eh? Confusion, attachment, really smart. Smart, they need us. Really smart. 02:09:42.178 --> 02:09:48.801 - Now you say, okay, like I say, for example, like a confusion, like the anger, jealous, whatever, any 02:09:48.801 --> 02:09:55.751 - kind of mind, just waiting, thinking, waiting, waiting, thinking, let it come. When the mind calm, that's 02:09:55.751 --> 02:10:02.505 - good, don't push it, don't say bad, you're good, okay, I will find out how to release, how the action, 02:10:02.505 --> 02:10:09.062 - how they're doing, how they edit it. That mind calm, what the mind is doing, you check it. That the 02:10:09.062 --> 02:10:10.046 - mind is smart. 02:10:11.234 --> 02:10:17.174 - If you let the angry mind calm, you say, oh, that's angry, bad. You don't say bad, you know. That's 02:10:17.174 --> 02:10:23.174 - how the mind, and the attitude, how the mind dreams. So they want to show it now, because they don't 02:10:23.174 --> 02:10:29.174 - want to catch, you know. So that's still like a security people looking at. So they take a watch and 02:10:29.174 --> 02:10:35.292 - thinking, oh, wonderful, look at that here. There's no one there. But somebody else there, you go into 02:10:35.292 --> 02:10:41.054 - it. You put it back properly, very gently, you know. Not gentle at all. You try to take it away. 02:10:41.282 --> 02:10:49.636 - They won't do it, because he don't want to get in trouble. So that's why confusion is attached. So those 02:10:49.636 --> 02:10:57.911 - men are very smart, very strong, very clever. They are. So we meditate. First we concentrate, make good 02:10:57.911 --> 02:11:06.026 - motivation. So far, we don't meditate very much. Today, we meditate with my brother and sister. We're 02:11:06.026 --> 02:11:11.198 - all brothers and sisters. They're my brother, they're my sister. 02:11:11.362 --> 02:11:17.476 - It's been important that we are wonderful, the kids are related, we're wonderful, you know. Together, 02:11:17.476 --> 02:11:23.530 - we pray together, say, today I want to catch, what kind of confusion, a lot of confusion in my mind. 02:11:23.530 --> 02:11:29.643 - So then I let you come, how is the confusion? What is the confusion in your mind, what are you doing? 02:11:29.643 --> 02:11:35.038 - Let it come. You open the door like this, you know. Very gentle, open the door, you know. 02:11:35.810 --> 02:11:43.294 - The food is there already. You've settled all the nice food. There are many nice ones in the tanking 02:11:43.294 --> 02:11:50.777 - over there. There's the tanking. There you meditate. It doesn't matter. Meditate like some people do 02:11:50.777 --> 02:11:58.409 - close eyes, some people do half close. This is the half close. If you're too much open, you get tired. 02:11:58.409 --> 02:12:02.558 - If you're too much open, you fall asleep. That is true. 02:12:03.106 --> 02:12:09.904 - When I was young, I was not quite, you know, seven, 15 or in Lhasa, you know, our temple, we had to 02:12:09.904 --> 02:12:16.906 - meditate. Meditation, chanting, the very essential, many, many, every single day from morning till one 02:12:16.906 --> 02:12:23.976 - o'clock at night. So I was very happy, very lucky. So when I was so tired, not enough sleeping, so then 02:12:23.976 --> 02:12:30.843 - we meditated. Oh, not enough room, we have a lot of space. They don't have too much space, you know. 02:12:30.843 --> 02:12:33.086 - I sit here, somebody pointed me. 02:12:33.858 --> 02:12:44.211 - somebody behind me, you know. So then he meditated. I was really fall asleep. I was tired, you know. 02:12:44.211 --> 02:12:54.872 - When a guy, he's a big guy, he's in front of me, obviously. My head, the bomb, his back. He was scared. 02:12:54.872 --> 02:13:01.022 - I was embarrassed. He's hurt and scared. I was embarrassed. 02:13:01.282 --> 02:13:09.013 - We can't talk because there's a supervisor over there standing. He said, if you talk, they come to punish 02:13:09.013 --> 02:13:16.380 - me. What are you talking about? What business? Potentially, we don't know nothing. He goes, what are 02:13:16.380 --> 02:13:23.673 - you doing? He said, I'm so sorry. What can I say? He was really scared. I was so embarrassed. So if 02:13:23.673 --> 02:13:28.414 - you close your eyes, it's easy to fall asleep because it's dark. 02:13:29.730 --> 02:13:38.655 - You just half-eye close. Then you go concentrate. Now waiting. You concentrate, you wait, like I say, 02:13:38.655 --> 02:13:47.667 - left hand, bottom, right hand, top. That's called dujini taut, tributi shiro. That's called wisdom and 02:13:47.667 --> 02:13:56.767 - compassion. Symbol, left hand, like the compassion. No, no. Tributi, dujini taut, tributi shiro, that's 02:13:56.767 --> 02:13:58.430 - called compassion. 02:13:58.786 --> 02:14:06.808 - No, wisdom. Left under wisdom, left under compassion. Compassion go into the wisdom, the together, power, 02:14:06.808 --> 02:14:14.527 - you know. Then together go put it there, that much. Then two thumb together. Two thumb together. They 02:14:14.527 --> 02:14:22.473 - call that Toshi Sonde. Toshi Sonde, Sonde means together, united. And your love, compassion, your wisdom 02:14:22.473 --> 02:14:27.998 - come together, then are united. The power, right? That we needed, right? 02:14:28.578 --> 02:14:35.268 - If you have compassion and wisdom, then everything is done well. So that you say, today I want to make 02:14:35.268 --> 02:14:41.892 - that I don't think anything else. I just want to make clear my understanding, clear my wisdom. I want 02:14:41.892 --> 02:14:48.387 - to find out. Basically say, I want to find out how the action, how the money doing. It doesn't come 02:14:48.387 --> 02:14:55.076 - all, the one or two come. Your confusion, you're the attached or anger or whatever, the wondering. One 02:14:55.076 --> 02:14:56.830 - of them come, let it come. 02:14:57.538 --> 02:15:05.540 - When they come, you check. Then they check, let it come very friendly, very social, wonderful, hi, welcome. 02:15:05.540 --> 02:15:13.097 - So then you just go try to catch what kind of wandering money it is. Then you check and the wandering 02:15:13.097 --> 02:15:20.728 - money go right away. Very smart, you know? Like the mouse, you know? The mouse come, you let the owner 02:15:20.728 --> 02:15:26.878 - go around the way right away. If it's dark, they come slowly and try to, you know? 02:15:27.618 --> 02:15:35.663 - Our negative mind like almost very smart, very quickly. You don't want to catch. So that's why this 02:15:35.663 --> 02:15:43.869 - kind of technique, this kind of practice is good. You know, others are a little harder. I'll meditate 02:15:43.869 --> 02:15:52.638 - to stop my confusion. It's still there. It's hard to stop. But you have to recognize, make the dealing with. 02:15:53.570 --> 02:16:00.314 - I want to understand it. I don't want to understand it very much. I want to know what my confusion is. 02:16:00.314 --> 02:16:06.927 - Then when your confusion comes, then you check what kind of action, how the attitude, how the action 02:16:06.927 --> 02:16:13.998 - of the mind, okay? You're thinking and meditating, you're thinking that. So then you just close, half-close 02:16:13.998 --> 02:16:20.546 - eyes, you're thinking. If not, yeah, how to make it? Make something else. Okay, come on. You should 02:16:20.546 --> 02:16:23.230 - be normal, be normal, very much usually. 02:16:23.842 --> 02:16:32.497 - come very quickly, my confusion, my attach. Come on now, I want to come. Let come. Come attach, 02:16:32.497 --> 02:16:41.692 - you know. Thank you. Thank you, Santosh. Then the attachment come right away, but they go right away. 02:16:41.692 --> 02:16:50.617 - Smart. They don't want the kids, you know. Is it clear? If you do that, we meditate for two hours. 02:16:50.617 --> 02:16:53.502 - No matter. Two hours. Okay. So, 02:16:54.530 --> 02:17:01.925 - And also just benefit, because good benefit or not good benefit, so-so, depends on our motivation. You 02:17:01.925 --> 02:17:09.536 - just say, I want to meditate together with my brother, sister, with my brother and my sister, we together 02:17:09.536 --> 02:17:16.715 - pray. We try to make the control, not much wandering, not much attached, just not good. So then you 02:17:16.715 --> 02:17:24.254 - just say, I want to do this benefit for the whole of the world. I wish not want to be too much attached. 02:17:24.450 --> 02:17:31.243 - Because by that touch come all damage, you know. Take country, take killing, that's by that touch. They 02:17:31.243 --> 02:17:38.035 - want the power. They touch by the power. That's what we do. We're all wishing that no one be, you know, 02:17:38.035 --> 02:17:44.632 - too much too much attached, not much too much angry. So anyway, I want to point out for the general, 02:17:44.632 --> 02:17:51.294 - not the one in mind. If you know you're, you're catching you, you understand your anger, then easier. 02:17:52.482 --> 02:17:59.572 - Okay, so that is my anger. Oh, what? When anger comes, how you feel? You're thinking that. How do you 02:17:59.572 --> 02:18:05.968 - feel, really? How is your moment of anger? That's how anger at work. You try to make angry. 02:18:05.968 --> 02:18:12.988 - You just try. It's something I've done to you before, like walking or talking or whatever, you know. 02:18:12.988 --> 02:18:20.079 - Anything you, some people heard you, you're thinking about. Oh, my God. Why you done to me like that? 02:18:20.079 --> 02:18:21.886 - She said to me like that. 02:18:21.986 --> 02:18:32.754 - Then the angry mind starts to calm. Then when the angry mind calms, then you look at what kind of mind 02:18:32.754 --> 02:18:43.522 - is, how the mind is educated, how the mind is doing. So far isn't it clear or no? So far clear? So far 02:18:43.522 --> 02:18:50.526 - so good, eh? Thank you all. So now we meditate for a little while. 02:18:51.522 --> 02:18:59.121 - for maybe 10 minutes, or 15, whatever. So just say, which I say, I don't want to say the open, open, 02:18:59.121 --> 02:19:06.720 - I'm good. You just see I'm waiting. I open the window to my door. That many of you are the only five 02:19:06.720 --> 02:19:13.718 - senses, completely open, five senses, you know? You're feeling, hearing, thinking, all open, 02:19:13.718 --> 02:19:20.414 - a little open. I want to catch, because I do something else. I want to know the natural. 02:19:20.994 --> 02:19:27.706 - The nature of the anger, what the mind is, is, you know, let it come. And you try to come. Try to be 02:19:27.706 --> 02:19:34.352 - seated, very gentle. Don't show your, don't show you're the welfare, you know, gone, peaceful, then 02:19:34.352 --> 02:19:41.131 - they won't come, they're scared, you know. You see compassion, very calm, and very, you know, dealing 02:19:41.131 --> 02:19:44.254 - with you, what I want to know, just like that. 02:19:51.810 --> 02:20:00.221 - Maybe you don't mind to do something two, three times in the mantra of the Manjushri. Manjushri is what 02:20:00.221 --> 02:20:08.633 - I call a cut, cut all confusion, cut all ignorance. That's what I call a Manjushri, a Buddha, a Buddha, 02:20:08.633 --> 02:20:16.478 - a wisdom of Buddha. So that will really help. Easy to catch, easy to cut. Om ma ra pa cha na di. 02:20:29.506 --> 02:20:48.478 - Now open the door, open the window, please open all your five senses, whatever you want to come. 02:30:20.162 --> 02:30:33.202 - How does it feel? Good? That's much easier to open, right? That was a better open mind, better in all 02:30:33.202 --> 02:30:45.987 - ways. So I think that's wonderful. Thank you very much. And we'll do a short dedication. Dedication 02:30:45.987 --> 02:30:49.950 - to... And first I want to say, 02:30:50.466 --> 02:31:01.608 - Before the reading, this is for the dedicated for the happy long life of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. 02:31:01.608 --> 02:31:12.640 - So most of you saw already in the TV or personal or whatever. So myself and so many times, because I 02:31:12.640 --> 02:31:20.286 - want to request each of you to be holy Dalai Lama, be long life. Why? 02:31:20.994 --> 02:31:27.529 - Because I tell a little bit, you know, some of the story. And I'm not trying to accompany up with the 02:31:27.529 --> 02:31:34.320 - Indian government. Because the Indian government, they've done some of the policies. Later, they changed. 02:31:34.320 --> 02:31:40.854 - They've done so well. The Indian government, very, India is not a rich country, you know, but they've 02:31:40.854 --> 02:31:47.453 - done so good for us. Just opportunities, same opportunities, same power, living there, they're so kind 02:31:47.453 --> 02:31:48.286 - for us. Why? 02:31:48.898 --> 02:31:59.778 - Those all came by the Honorable Dalai Lama, able to come from Tibet, out of Tibet, able to come. 02:31:59.778 --> 02:32:11.444 - You know why? That I really honestly, I'm not going to make any extra word. When I was in India, I came 02:32:11.444 --> 02:32:17.950 - to the 59th. No, never 59th. 59th, right? 59th. So there. 02:32:18.114 --> 02:32:31.889 - Before the end of 1958, the Chinese prime minister, Mr. Chang Wulai. Chang Wulai was the prime minister 02:32:31.889 --> 02:32:42.750 - in China. Mr. Nehru was the Indian prime minister. So he came to the end of 1958. 02:32:44.066 --> 02:32:52.512 - So then the two countries to make the, I don't know what really benefit for the India, benefit the China 02:32:52.512 --> 02:33:00.798 - already. They didn't show in the note, they have the government note. End of the 58, then the two make 02:33:00.798 --> 02:33:09.566 - the agreement. And later they said, as I showed, they wrote in the handy, you know, that in a study already. 02:33:10.274 --> 02:33:20.430 - I was studying in 1961 to 1966 at Nalanda University. I didn't have much choice. I thought it was better 02:33:20.430 --> 02:33:30.006 - to study. I studied Hindi, Sanskrit, Pali, Punjabi. So it was not good, but at least I could read. 02:33:30.006 --> 02:33:39.582 - So there, after 1966, my course was finished. Then our refugee government, the Alama's government, 02:33:40.162 --> 02:33:48.128 - Then they send me to the North India Punjabi University. They send me over there to teach, to talk the 02:33:48.128 --> 02:33:56.017 - Tibetan language. Once a week, the Buddhism. They don't eat it anyway. Just once a week. So language, 02:33:56.017 --> 02:34:03.829 - all the people come. Every year, I have 12, 15, 20. At least they come, you know? So I was there for 02:34:03.829 --> 02:34:09.630 - that. I'm actually short. And then in the summertime, we have four mother. 02:34:10.050 --> 02:34:18.448 - you know, summer holiday with pay. It's good, eh? That's a lot of fun, you know? Good holiday with money, 02:34:18.448 --> 02:34:26.449 - too. So then I went to India, the north, like the Himalayas, mountains, you know? Like Kuru, Manali, 02:34:26.449 --> 02:34:35.084 - Silla, and Darjeeling. I went so many years. I went a friend of mine. He's a Tibetan. He's at the University 02:34:35.084 --> 02:34:38.174 - of Chandigarh. He's a professor there. 02:34:38.402 --> 02:34:44.291 - I was a Punjabi and I was still in Patiala. It's not too far from. So both of us, so that one, both 02:34:44.291 --> 02:34:50.298 - are the singular. We just run and go with somebody, three, four of us running here and there. So that 02:34:50.298 --> 02:34:56.246 - will matter to many people. I talk about basically the large Tibetan people lived in India long time 02:34:56.246 --> 02:35:02.252 - ago, before 1959. The Tibetans called it Jaga Kampa. Jaga meaning India, Kampa meaning came back from 02:35:02.252 --> 02:35:08.318 - India and from Tibet. They lived there for generations. Some people lived for three, four generations. 02:35:09.186 --> 02:35:15.312 - But that's all some people, really rich people, you know. They live in India a long time. They have 02:35:15.312 --> 02:35:21.621 - land, they have business, a house, a really rich family. So I got those three notes. I'm not lying one 02:35:21.621 --> 02:35:27.931 - word, by God, I tell the truth is I got the three notes. They showed me, look see, they call me Kusho. 02:35:27.931 --> 02:35:34.302 - Kusho means sorry, a little desperate anyway. So please, could you read this one? I read the hand here. 02:35:34.722 --> 02:35:42.961 - Within six months, you have to go back to Tibet. Within six months, you have to sell your property. 02:35:42.961 --> 02:35:51.530 - It's yours. After six months, if you don't, then you have to push back all the people's back for Tibet, 02:35:51.530 --> 02:35:56.638 - the property government. It is. They did so. They noted that. 02:35:57.986 --> 02:36:07.198 - So that people were so sad. Then I went to their house. Oh, by his kind that we still survive. We still 02:36:07.198 --> 02:36:16.411 - have our own land. So that mean, you know, why the minister there, what do you call, Mount Saito, very, 02:36:16.411 --> 02:36:24.826 - very, very smart, eh? And also Chiang Kai-Chang, Chiang Wai-Lin is very smart, too. They came. 02:36:24.826 --> 02:36:26.686 - But this year, 1959, 02:36:27.106 --> 02:36:34.051 - They already, they start already, they plant already. Puti and I completely took it, just like the Tibetans, 02:36:34.051 --> 02:36:40.422 - you know, put it and take away. There's no one out of Tibet, you know what that mean? Because Tibet 02:36:40.422 --> 02:36:46.856 - people live in India that much. There's not much in China, not much in Russia, not anyway. You know, 02:36:46.856 --> 02:36:53.228 - in India, because it's very close, west, you know, easy to go there. Leave the generations. There's 02:36:53.228 --> 02:36:56.222 - no one in Tibet live in India, then who knows? 02:36:56.706 --> 02:37:04.544 - Nobody cared anyway. Not only Tibet, I would do it. I would do Tibet. So that was, then in 1959, they 02:37:04.544 --> 02:37:12.382 - started the bombing. That was in the temple in Drepung. Drepung and the Jewel Park was very just like 02:37:12.382 --> 02:37:20.220 - this. Easy to see at night. Bombing, oh my God, they bombed, they just cared. I think over a million, 02:37:20.220 --> 02:37:23.294 - two million, they cared for the people. 02:37:23.714 --> 02:37:30.621 - So that happened because they cared and they completely controlled that. But then Dalai Lama tried to 02:37:30.621 --> 02:37:37.393 - escape. The people here escaped and came out and they phoned to the telegram. Telegram to the Nero. 02:37:37.393 --> 02:37:44.504 - They asked Nero, would you two allow Nero to come? Nero changed his mind. The policy changed. The policy 02:37:44.504 --> 02:37:51.412 - always changed. The man connected with the China, then Nero said, okay, you're welcome. So then Dalai 02:37:51.412 --> 02:37:52.766 - Lama came to India. 02:37:54.242 --> 02:38:02.307 - So after he came, with him or after, now I think over 200,000 Tibetan refugees are able to come. 02:38:02.307 --> 02:38:10.705 - But he can't. If he's not in India, no one in Tibet can come, no one. Of course, no one allowed. Old 02:38:10.705 --> 02:38:19.436 - people live a long time, a generation. They're also pushed back. How they come to India? No one allowed. 02:38:19.436 --> 02:38:21.182 - But Dalai Lama came. 02:38:21.858 --> 02:38:27.973 - Then there was after that a thousand, a hundred, a hundred, two hundred thousand people came. When they 02:38:27.973 --> 02:38:33.970 - came, then the Dalai Lama actually connected, you know, relation with the whole world, Red Cross, all 02:38:33.970 --> 02:38:39.321 - the world. Then the world helped us. The government, the intergovernmental people learned. 02:38:39.321 --> 02:38:45.435 - The intergovernmental people were so very kind, you know. It was sediment. Now there are refugee camps. 02:38:45.435 --> 02:38:49.022 - We must all be, you know, in the area where the schools are. 02:38:49.314 --> 02:38:57.134 - Then the Tibetan children sent from Tibet to central India. So, so far, we're just like that. We're 02:38:57.134 --> 02:39:05.111 - not completely finished. We're not dead yet. We're falling. We're just a fall. Sound like a big truck 02:39:05.111 --> 02:39:13.087 - coming. We're not dead yet. We're not dead. So I'm never thinking one moment, oh, I'm here in Canada. 02:39:13.087 --> 02:39:17.310 - I'm here. Oh, I'm great. I'm very good luck. I'm not. 02:39:18.146 --> 02:39:25.801 - Without his kind, no one's out of Tibet. Really true. That's by God. It's true, you know. So that kind 02:39:25.801 --> 02:39:33.233 - of, I talk, many people don't know. Even, of course, Tibetan people don't know. I talk of the three 02:39:33.233 --> 02:39:40.665 - times in the West. One day I was in Vancouver, two in Alberta. I lived in Alberta. The people know, 02:39:40.665 --> 02:39:44.158 - two or three people knows. They saw the north. 02:39:44.994 --> 02:39:51.348 - They're really true. They're really true, the way they are. So I want to talk about Toronto. There are 02:39:51.348 --> 02:39:57.701 - a lot of people in Tibet who live there, but there's not much chance. Although something happened, not 02:39:57.701 --> 02:40:04.178 - much chance to talk, you know? So that I say, now it's better. Better than Tibet people. Now everywhere, 02:40:04.178 --> 02:40:10.779 - all over the world, every country, all Dhamma group, Dhamma people, like the Western, our brother, sister, 02:40:10.779 --> 02:40:14.110 - and all of you guys, come to share, pattern together. 02:40:14.210 --> 02:40:20.466 - to sponsor, to help with the development idea for Tibet, you know. All your customers, all of them, 02:40:20.466 --> 02:40:26.784 - to help us, we really appreciate it, you know. So that's why. So that led us into something like the 02:40:26.784 --> 02:40:33.416 - karma. The karma is very funny, you know. People mind it very funny, you know. The Tibet color, something 02:40:33.416 --> 02:40:39.984 - like that, need to close the river. It's very deep. But we had to pray. Even though they pray, you know, 02:40:39.984 --> 02:40:42.174 - they never can close it, you know. 02:40:42.306 --> 02:40:48.769 - You put your clothes on, oh, Janice, Janice, my brother, compassion, please help me. I need to cross 02:40:48.769 --> 02:40:55.168 - the river. Then you cross the river already. When you get out, toward the other side, then you say, 02:40:55.168 --> 02:41:01.695 - OK, sir, I'm out already. You don't need that. I don't need it now. So we'll get to here in India, in 02:41:01.695 --> 02:41:08.094 - the West, in here, everywhere. Now, Tibet a lot. They said, how much? 89 countries, they're all the 02:41:08.094 --> 02:41:11.742 - Tibetan settlement. Now, 88 countries, they're up there. 02:41:11.874 --> 02:41:19.805 - the Dharma Parties in Europe, in Asia, everywhere, to get this 89 or 88 countries, they all part of 02:41:19.805 --> 02:41:28.133 - the Dharma. So Dharma Parties, because of the help of all, not only for the wholeness, only by his kind, 02:41:28.133 --> 02:41:36.302 - Dharma Parties help all beings. That's what we did. We pray, we worship, we wish, we pray, we meditate 02:41:36.302 --> 02:41:41.854 - toward peace, right? So that's the call and that kind of opportunity. 02:41:42.274 --> 02:41:50.174 - And I'm very proud, very happy. All of us appreciate. So by his kind, so by without him, we know when 02:41:50.174 --> 02:41:57.609 - I would go to Tibet. I think I would be gone. The Tibetan Chinese, they try to drink like this, 02:41:57.609 --> 02:42:05.741 - you know. See, nobody can see it. Nobody hear. It's gone here. They want to swallow, really. But really, 02:42:05.741 --> 02:42:11.550 - honestly, by God, it is. I saw the three letters, three notes. And so now, 02:42:12.514 --> 02:42:19.378 - So that's what I want to just say. I don't mean like we're all about the system. I just want to know 02:42:19.378 --> 02:42:26.310 - each of us. Because if you know how this is wonderful, then more benefit for us, not benefit for him. 02:42:26.310 --> 02:42:33.581 - Benefit for each of us. We're part of the Buddhism, Tibetan. We're like the party for not only individual, 02:42:33.581 --> 02:42:39.358 - benefit not only you. We benefit the world peace. We benefit the whole being, right? 02:42:40.162 --> 02:42:45.746 - Because I also want to ask much, I want to help you, all I want to help you. How we make you happy? 02:42:45.746 --> 02:42:51.441 - How we do it? And I talk to the, I don't know, maybe tomorrow, I don't know, I'm going to talk to the 02:42:51.441 --> 02:42:57.024 - seven stage part of the Bodhicitta, how to come. So that's really, it's a help a lot. So that's why 02:42:57.024 --> 02:43:02.887 - I talk a little too much. But that's kind of what I want to say, because we're all brothers and sisters, 02:43:02.887 --> 02:43:06.014 - come together, pray together, you know, help, you know. 02:43:06.626 --> 02:43:15.888 - But now, there's a lot of sports. Tibetans sport a lot everywhere. But by the way, he's a kind. He doesn't 02:43:15.888 --> 02:43:24.890 - know any Tibet, or any Tibet. Not even a suburb, anyway. So for now, he's still not completely healthy, 02:43:24.890 --> 02:43:33.719 - but he's not dying yet. Kind of accident, big accident, eh? Yeah, on the train. But not yet dead yet. 02:43:33.719 --> 02:43:35.710 - So that's a pity, too. 02:43:36.034 --> 02:43:44.612 - Uh, what's the dedication? You could read. Steve, you're Wednesday. You read. And if any, they call 02:43:44.612 --> 02:43:52.846 - it Dalai Lama's Award. If not, also in your mind, it's a wishing. The better things, I like it. 02:43:52.846 --> 02:44:02.110 - I have it. I did it today. I'll show you. I'll bring it tomorrow. They call that. Huh? No, short one. Yeah. 02:44:13.826 --> 02:44:23.792 - Anyway, I like it very much. So that's the only thing I want you to like, because the meaning is so 02:44:23.792 --> 02:44:33.957 - deep. He is our king. He is our guru. He is our parent. He is. Without him, not any Tibetans survive. 02:44:33.957 --> 02:44:40.734 - Now this is an opportunity that some people want. That's happening. 02:44:41.634 --> 02:44:48.288 - And when the Buddha was present, Buddha Shakyamuni, his uncle, Devadatta, he always looked negative. 02:44:48.288 --> 02:44:55.073 - Look, see the govottamba, they call it govottamba. Look, see, he just cheated people. He did not cheat 02:44:55.073 --> 02:45:01.661 - at all. But his uncle still think he done wrong. So they say like Dalam has a Buddha compassion, he 02:45:01.661 --> 02:45:08.446 - emanation of Buddha compassion, chenren zi. He wrote that three, four months ago, the chenren sadhana. 02:45:09.314 --> 02:45:15.731 - One of our ministers, I don't know, now they've completed the whole office in Tibet, settlement, refugee 02:45:15.731 --> 02:45:22.025 - office, you know. Education, home, all of it, just like normal, completed the settlement, all the hits 02:45:22.025 --> 02:45:28.137 - you can. And a thousand, a thousand marks in southern India, all the temples, just like in Tibet, I 02:45:28.137 --> 02:45:34.493 - sort of feel good. Last year, I went to the settlement in India, I went to all the temples, a thousand, 02:45:34.493 --> 02:45:38.526 - a thousand marks. They're doing so beautiful, just like in Tibet. 02:45:39.746 --> 02:45:49.409 - That's all the things that still survive. So he's like almost like our parent. It is. Like a parent, 02:45:49.409 --> 02:45:59.072 - a god, children living somewhere, then the children can do nothing, you know? So that was the belief 02:45:59.072 --> 02:46:09.022 - that I believe in. So that's good. Now go with the dedication. And in your mind, please, a true prayer. 02:46:09.570 --> 02:46:39.454 - Okay? So that I would request. Thank you very much. It's so kind of you. Yeah. 02:46:41.058 --> 02:46:47.870 - Shuddha, Lama Sanjeev. 02:47:56.354 --> 02:48:25.950 - Some more? 02:48:29.506 --> 02:48:36.049 - So I thank you, please, for the prayer for long life of the holy Dharma, short life, short long life, 02:48:36.049 --> 02:48:42.591 - sorry, short long life prayer. I don't say a short life. It will be a long life. As well, as well, we 02:48:42.591 --> 02:48:49.198 - are wishing myself, wishing each of you be happy long life.
