About this talk. In this 146-minute teaching, Lama Zopa Rinpoche grounds Buddhist practice in vivid descriptions of hell-realm suffering, beginning with Buddhist funeral rites and astrological practices before moving into an extended exploration of the first hell realm’s unimaginable torments and the durations of each successive realm relative to human years—designed to inspire renunciation. He then reframes: having a human life with freedom to practice is exquisitely precious. Even a moment of genuine Dharma practice creates the cause for enlightenment. He builds toward bodhicitta, exploring how to maintain an altruistic motivation to liberate all beings through vows, offerings, and moral discipline. Pitched at serious practitioners seeking to deepen renunciation and compassion through vivid instruction on karma and saṃsāra’s mechanisms.

So yesterday, This morning, mentioned earlier this morning, right, I mentioned about reciting those prayers, Buddhist past Buddhist, you know, past Buddhist life stories. Mentioned. There are two types. How they are very beneficial, very inspiring evening for public or for non Buddhists, for the people, good for family members, whatever. What is waiting, what is to to, say, to chunk this new year old that one lama from Nepal, To Buddha Bachitt, his past life, he was a great lama, benefited so much to the people and the Himalayan, these mountains.
He always inspired people to practice in his general practice was maintained. Harampur, I haven’t I haven’t been there. Somebody offered a temple, but we did accept it, but didn’t get taken Helampur close to Kathmandu. And then, however, I think maybe also soon and Geshe Lama contributed to this many years of practice, of course, members came bordered to Tibet. Many of these parts of Nepal, this lama, he met he went to many places and spread the Chinese practice newness.
And seems somebody who, you know, I say, North sectarian, which follow the looking for the four traditions. But also follow tradition, teachings, the the great lama. So he spread very much. And he seems in the in in many of those areas, in different parts of Nepal, he met or kind of a law he met a kind of the whole the whole area. Many parts of Nepal met law that so that nobody can allow to hunt in the forest, the animals.
Nobody can kill animals. So the Islam met the rule, you know, dharma dharma rule. So the rule to stop rule to stop the Dharma rule to stop giving harm others, you know, many possible establish like this. I was benefit so much, so kind. So I think it was early life when they Tibet and started, you know, receiving meditation from the Lama’s, learning Lama’s.
Maybe also like second. Those great yogis. Remember that? However, I’ve forgotten now. I start the story about this.
Suddenly, I’m the story. Suddenly, like, wind blew away the dust. Yeah. Right. So very, very I think I think he would I think he’s the one that that lama, I think, might be wondered.
So the prayer will next to Balkan or Stūpa, the we’re close to Stūpa. There’s one prayer will, I think, built by him that or or the his disciple, the the which was the head of the Buddhist Buddhists in Nepal for a long time during the previous king, especially, you see, on the part. So but he he made the guru. That was his guru anyway. So benefit so much So now this is reincarnation.
He was invited to the West by different people, but he never accepted to go to West. He never accepted to go to West. So what he did was he he went around Nepal. He he was a remote very remote areas, and he just did meetings. He brought his of his attendants to to to to help him in prayer, meetings, to, you know, to make those music offerings, all these various and to to pray together so many to attains $2nd succeed.
Then with his own expenses, come go around in Nepal, this very poor place to remote where the Hindus with his own expenses. And and then he give food to people who come to the units, just in the Hindus or just villages. They eat food to them and deliver the dharma talks like that. So the villages, they were happy because they see not eating meat and not drinking wine and fasting. So the people were impressed.
So I think it’s so he just did that. And so coming to west, just went to very remote areas, Nepal, poor, poor places. He told me that so then he made them vow to take the vow to not kill. Because also the Hindu, they sacrifice animals, you see. Sometimes they also may often they have heard Buddha, but also they’re are not clear what is what they have no ideas.
So go to Buddha, you know, they also worship Buddha, but also they serve as animals. So so anyway because they don’t know what was it. So anyway so so he like this, then he met him to to take a vow to not kill. So he told me that about ten thousand people so far, he was able to give them vow to not kill. So similar what he passed like it.
It’s just like I was doing the same. So time time, he come up to to Kaphan monastery and close connection to see. Geshe-la Lama Kong Chop lived there in June where his monasteries lived there for two years or something and led one hundred million of money paid me home. Maybe two to three times Geshe-la Lama Kong Chop led. And then at the end, kind of to enjoyment, so he taught monks in a religious dance.
At the end of the I don’t know how long it takes to finish one hundred million nomad in Pei Mei hum, all the villagers come in to chant together. And they bring food from their own home and maybe they put together. So at the end, actually, I’m going to teach religious dance. So everybody, you know, sort of and then I think some entertainment also entertainment also, but also it’s some kind of method. Because many protectors, you have to act, you know, dance off many dharma protectors, subduing the evil subdueing the evil beings, you know, hooking and subduing the so it’s kind of a, rattle tongue to rattle tongue to rattle activities.
So I think maybe, basically, originally, maybe the monastery, you know, one one year, but maybe the, you know, the best for obstacles for the monastery like that, maybe. And also, it’s also become sort of entertainment for the people in the area, you see, very common in Tibet when we went to the mission to that in the second time. About seventy people. There was one Indian that time. There was no Chinese there.
But that time, I think, I didn’t I didn’t I mean, I started to go to the teachings in Singapore Hong Kong town, I think, started. So those one one Indian lady. So, anyway, so so many monasteries were practicing the religious dance in the largest monastery under the. But I think also many times they are allowed to do that because it’s kind of like public kind of seeing kind of so many people can come see and kind of gets me to show It’s free or something. I’m not sure.
But so, anyway so benefited. I think I think I’m going to benefit a lot in those mountains, many monasteries and and the established practice that gave countries. However, so this lama, he asked me to make a book for Nepalese. So many Nepalese didn’t know what to what to do, what to practice. So I like how to do New Year, how to, you know, how to do this, how to do when the person passed away.
But the Tamans, you know, who are Buddhist, they like Solo Kung Fu, people in Solo Kung Fu, they’re very familiar when someone dies, what to do. They know very well what astrologically, what to do astrologically, you know, to check astrologically. First thing they check astrologically when the the person passed away, then they check astrology immediately. What what kind of what kind of kind of beings, you know, the different types of spiritual beings who harm the life, who cut the life. So many things to find out where the mind is attached to or where their spirits are hiding or split.
That means to find out. And so then you do things that go into that. Throwing things that might as attached to. So the you know, the the the speech being or something like that. Speech, whether it’s or it’s a hiding, you see, stood for material possession or things like that or the image.
One one very important thing during astrology is they are quite a bit details, which direction the body to take. If we take a long direction, there’s harm, harm for the family members who are living who are alive. And then so there’s some yeah. Details like that have been I know from calendar from the eleventh calendar. So, you know, One of the main thing is that astrology is so if the person dies a wrong day, then there’s a pushers they think to do.
If you don’t do that, then depending on which day the person has it, then family member can die. Four people or six people. So a person each one person dies each year. Six people or four people. They depend on which day the person dies.
Sunday might be one, but one then there’s I remember. So they are like that. I think after Lama after Lama passed away, then I didn’t check the days, but then Lama has one sister in Delhi, not very close sister, but a remote sister, not not close sister, who was merit with the Chinese businessman from Shanghai. So there are three are three quite large Chinese restaurants in Delhi. Maybe they are the only one in those in those times in the past.
Anyway, she passed away. The other no. First husband passed away then. She passed away then. Then brother who lived five years, maybe more than five, recently, a generous institute.
So he passed away. So each year passed away. Then, Lama’s who still living at Tuśita times. I thought the next year, Kishida might be passing there. I thought with everyone each year, it’s a past.
So but Kishida, I think, in the pathway, because he does so much prayer all you know, all day long. He does so much prayer. So much prayer. You know? Yeah.
So much so strong prayer. So I don’t know. Could be done. Generally, generally, we’re healthy. Just knee had knee problems.
And then goes hot spring sometimes. But now I think I got more heavier. But he survived for many years. So I thought next year, my passport. So, anyway, sometimes in the monasteries, like that happened.
So, therefore, when the person passed away, they checked astrology and they want to get a part, they find out all those details. Mainly, of the main important is the family member who is living to safe. They are thinking to do if it’s diagnosed in a special day or something. So safety for the health and safety for their living family. That’s very important.
Not only the person who passed away, of course, it’s very sad for the family member. Not only the person who is passing away, it depends on where you can do, where the person will rank it. Especially, course, it’s really most unbearable thing. And also time wise, you can’t really say it can be many years and that. So especially when you think that, it’s become a very important issue to safety for the living family.
So anyway, So, anyway, the Islam asked to to make a tape or some book. Then, know, what to do at the time. So what I that’s right. What I was saying is so so looking for the people, they are very familiar in how to, you know, what to do with the body and everything. They traditionally see traditionally, because they they all know how to yeah.
Become sort of common education, which is very good. That helps the safety for the living family, all the things that has to done. Besides Puja, those doing Puja for each week, everybody doing Puja, depends on how well the family is. And each week, doing Puja, forty nine days Puja. And after one year, Puja for that after one year, I think after forty nine days or after one year doing that after one year’s celebration, the celebration kind of celebration, believe that that person is now okay, you know, after all these.
Everything. So it’s kind of whole family gathering, they do kind of a celebration, not to tell each other, all the things what they did for the person passing. So works, service, making all these offerings, the llamas or the temples, see, in all those weeks, especially for the nine days and at the end of the forty ninth day by big puja, and it’s with big puja, besides normal Puja, it happens at house and temple and then forty nine days, but Puja saw the main offerings. So anyway, so he asked, but I didn’t I started starts to think, it looks like, you know, then you need to talk about to introduce to introduce who, say, who is not Buddhism, you know, then you introduce reincarnation, all that, that preliminary reincarnation, all that. I started to write but unfortunately didn’t get to you know, complete.
So, anyway, so I thought this prayer, you know, when they when they do New Year, to follow the be able to follow the path of Buddha, you know, the practice of Buddha Chita, especially. So to bring bring the attention on that, how to spend the year, how to spend the life. But, anyway, I didn’t didn’t get another book or another tip. So I think it fulfills that that lamas that English wishes didn’t get help. In Nepal, they accept the the carbon monastery, which started from Solo Kumpur.
So that excellent education philosophy excellent education, dharma education philosophy. Then also all the Tantric, the structure Tantric, rich, all the art and everything, Tantricology. So it’s actually started. So it’s complete the temple for that. So even the nuns even the even the nuns, not all monks, are now maybe nearly thirty nuns, they can draw sentiment out.
Very beautiful, very special, the Ecolendal Royal Tantacolus, they can do that. Besides that, besides that, excellent excellent in Tibet, the nuns, couple nuns, they they had examination. They had examination like the monks have, the special study, the Saraga and Daewong, the the monasteries, the university of monastery, the university of monastery. Special study, debate one or two months, I think, called. So if you attend this debate, you see the logician, but now what you have.
So then you incredibly develop your intelligence in the debate, see reasoning for that. So it helps more you have more develop the wisdom there, see, then it helps mother, mica, and many other subjects. The nature of the philosophy, the debating the or the reasoning. So I think in Tibet, there’s a nunnery. There I think this one time happened in the past, then it was canceled.
In Tibet, there’s no nuns debating. There are many nuns, but there’s no debate. But so but outside of Tibet, it So a couple nuns went to Dharmasala. There’s there’s two nunneries at Dharmasala. One old one and one new one.
Then there’s a nunnery, the woman of Saudi India, there’s a nunnery. So they’re all together there. They all have also debating in the study. So they’re all together. They had to do the debate.
So, I heard that when the couple nuns, when they turn, Tibet will answer them. So, then the senior monks for non diplomacy, they come to look, push the which found, say, they’re very good debater. You know? So they come to listen, the elder monks. So they simply become sort of the best among the various nuns which has debate starting the study of the philosophy.
So again, last year, a year before, when South India, again, the nuns debating there. So again, I think, again, they become the best. They they are very let’s say, the let’s say, present. Somehow, I think they could come on merit. Become excellent in the debating.
So but the one very important practice. So quite a number of years ago, I’d say, left a will or whatever to deem that everyone anyone who becomes nun, everyone must do whatever the others that they do. But the essence is that they must study well, one lump sum text and then try to understand as much as possible, then to the nine preliminary practices. So then to one hundred million, there was a Geshe-laama Controlls. That that that was a Geshe-laama Controlls IT.
One hundred million before the three year dated. But the only ten nuns, they finished three year. Or seven. So ten ounce was a three hour definition. So I thought that’s excellent to do one handed unit before besides non planned practice to do three hour.
Je Tsongkhapa thought maybe the maybe the nuns have I don’t know. Maybe Je Tsongkhapa thought that is too much. Anyway, nuns or they counted. So they counted newness, which they did before in their life. You know, in this life, how many newness they did, they counted that.
So I think they did some extra newness. So I think fifty, maybe they could altogether, you know, from here and there. I think they reported me the fifty newness. So it didn’t get done. One hundred million sorry, about fifty or something.
Then it is two years, much of it is finished. So it is then again, another ten months to do budget. So to go like that, too. The next one hasn’t started. Those who did three year budget, are the elder ones.
So I think the other next one, they are busy studying philosophy. So I think I think that’s why I couldn’t couldn’t start, you know, immediately So anyway so the idea is then, you know, just happily wait for death. After that, we can just happily, you know, without any fear or worry about that, stay happily. See, you know, happily, you know, what would that have a good future, pure land or have a perfect image, but to be able to complete the path. So so So that’s the what how many extensions do they do, but learning English or the letters, many things.
However, the essence, they like it. So everyone to complete like this. So what I what I was going to say that about this prayer. So to in each it needs good chanting. Now the prayer is Buddha Buddha’s past life, Buddha’s story is have you sacrificed to get for this?
I’ve taken from the one day there’s very inspiring chantings of different players taking from that or some very inspiring chanting so that also in that way, it doesn’t appear it doesn’t appear sort of a a religion and it appears like song singing song. It it appears in the public’s view singing songs. So but maintaining the main refuge is the subject. Maintain the subject. So it’s kind of more is by chanting, by, you know, singing, that is it.
It’s more additional that. Subjects are very inspiring, but additional that, then it’s become very inspiring. So the other people become like singing songs. But when they read, when they take the meaning, when they read, it benefits their mind. Also, there’s a kingdom to prayer.
So I want to say it from this my subject. It versus total transmission, that’s very good also to use for those things, to use for those occasions. In the past, also I mentioned. The other thing is if it’s convenient or if one is able to handle it convenient, perform extensive offerings, many light offerings, a beautiful many beautiful offerings, many light offerings. So, one thing, we can do the extensive We can do the extensive offering.
Light offering of the assets that I put together, the extensive light augmentation of the say, the whatever often the special light, and then other often it’s gonna do. Then you want to do extensive augmentation. What is the birthday or what is the wedding? When a person passed, a family member, a person passed away. That’s very important to do extensive offering, meaning in the night offering.
Many hundreds and thousands. Whether it’s Christmas night, light offering or the candlelight But to the expensive or expensive can be bought expensive or expensive. Meditation is often very, very good. The main thing is you label this, know, budget or this and this and that. But however, the main thing is one thousand other people to create extensive merit in a good karma, extensive merit and so many cause of enlightenment and the person that happens in such time.
So that that is the main thing. So so it’s what I mentioned that. The six preparation implementation, then how do at the end completion. How to do the preparation, This is preparation practice. Abiding house.
So, what is Guang Bao, what is your own medicine? Abiding how the cleaning and abiding how clean and tall. Cast away through it. Then took it down, leopard, dumbbell. Then perform well, beautifully.
The setting up the the holy body of mind, the Buddha. Obtained the offerings without So beautifully decorate On a comfortable seat seat, perform the body in the put the managed position, the seven or eight. While the one’s mind is special I say, wild once of mind is a special virtue, virtual thought, visualizing, the refuge object, and Meritfield. So Meritfield is the second next one. After I solve the Meritfield, after you finish the Meritfield, you visualize the Meritfield.
Next one. To collect the medicine to purify and to submit it, then the seven impact is mental offering. Then making a question payout, point mixed with one’s heart. So it means your mind by becoming the guru yoga. That means good devotion by looking at the Buddha, seeing Buddha.
So with that devotion, then make a request to grant to grant realizations. So to grant placing placing meaning of placing to the realizations Quite what they have. So So the actual body, the human body endowed with the freedom of listening, in order to the essence, press press pursue it pursue it. And then on this body, which is the freedom to body stharma. Then all this about heart attack essence.
So pursuing protect the essence of this. Body in doubt, freedom, business, and the perfect asset, the edge, freedom, kindness, with the how one how one can it really create meanings with this and how this is difficult to find again. These things. So So first, freedom They first were beginning the path to enlightenment. Having freedom to practice Dharma, not not being born in hell.
So as I as I normally mention that all the all the human beings fire energy put together. And then compare to the end of the world fire and the host of the fire that which melts like the Rocky Mountains, everything is destroyed. So the end of the time, end of the world fire, six to seven times much hotter than the present or the fire in the human world. Then the one tiny fire spark from the hell, how hot it is how hot it is. It’s seven times hotter than the end of the world fire.
The host of the fire, huge mountains, blazing the host of the fire. Conflictration. Conflictration. Conflictration. I got this word when I was teaching the mantara, the the tender tender tender cutting the protection will at the bachapani.
Children or somebody else. Cherry. So Alice Baizen’s tangled of the. Alice Berson’s translation of the amantha. So then so I got that word from that conflagration.
Conflagration. Tibetan Tibetan is me pung. Me pung means fire. Pung. The other word that I picked up from our special conversation.
So nonobjective. Nonobjective. That’s a good translation. Nonobjective. Anyway oh, so that one was I use.
Anyway so the one tiny fire spark from the hell is much hotter than seven times hotter than the host of the fire at the end of the world. Then how hot it is. Even one tiny fire spot. So then when you are in the hell, all the the unfavorable conditions, all the obstacles are gathered. All the obstacles are the heaviest.
All gathered. Now here, all conditions that you need to practice Dharma, you have. But that time, when you inhale, you see, you you you have all the obstacles, the heaviest obstacles, all all the obstacles gathered that time. Now, we have all the conditions to practice Dharma together. So difference like that.
Every day our life, then then hell to them. So in hell to them. Not met by god, not met by anybody, you see, except one’s own evil mind. You know? So the body is like a ridge of body is like ridge of mountains.
A ridge of the mountain. So long. So because of because of the dirichama, you have such long body. So and because of that, they’re more suffering. Then the skin is so thin like infect when you infection, so thin skin.
So even the hair, whatever touch, you get pain. So that skin is so thin. So thin due to deep and it come out. So due to impurement. You know?
Due to new comma. So So skin is so thin. So why that? And the softness is greater. And then other one is then the durations are very random time.
So even the very first hell realm is being alive being alive again and again. Honestly, Tiribum took so comparing the human age, Tiribum took then. Then therbium chamber. I think two tactics. Two three two two Some of the not hundred percent sure.
So the like this. One one hundred one hundred million, ten times one hundred million, that’s one terabyte. Ten times one hundred million is one terabyte. So length of life, lifespan, even the very first hotel, they being alive and connected. So six terabyte, what that that I remember.
So one terpene is one hundred million human years, one hundred million human years, that ten of that is a one terbium. So now the six six terbium. Not all that. So now ten terbium. Now ten terbium ten terbium is ten terbium is one hundred.
No. No. Ten terbium is a great terbium. A great a great one tactic. And ten tactic is a great tactic.
So, of course, one of that. There’s some more after that. So I think tactic yeah, I don’t remember. Two tactic and two greater room, then six. You remember?
Yeah. So maybe somebody remember. Somebody remember. You haven’t written down. So as mentioned, the liberation pump, let’s see.
So I’ll check. Make sure I’ll check-in. The good for that’s very important to remember in meditation. And because it’s unbelievable length of time, how long you have to be in the first healthy. Let me see.
You want to go on there. So it’s very important. So this then this this inspires this inspires to overcome delusion, you see. You know, courage to overcome delusion. So that’s the main point.
So it becomes more powerful, you know, and overcome delusion. So so the yeah. Just just a rough idea. The first two numbers are not ten percent sure, but just to get a rough idea. It’s okay.
So two great two two two tactic two tactic and two great and then six. Six, I think that’s that’s for sure. So that much in the much human ear, you see, that much in the that is length of life. That’s the length of life of the length of life of the first healthy limb being alive again and again. There’s a way of counting, expression, the different that, you see the the longest one.
It’s the five hundred years of I think that might be type two zero, I’m not sure. That one day. That final year is not human beings’ final year. According to their final year, debit and the delinquency. Then one day for the it’s one day for the helping the lot of.
So then the lifespan is there. So it’s kind of that. So, once you need to come and not if the need to come and not purified before the death, if didn’t do anything, know, typically purified karma. Not only the problem how does solving the problem is purify practicing purification, that’s not that’s that’s not the only answer. There are two answers.
One is purify the past with karma. The other solution is to you take a vow. You see, to not to not commit again. To not commit to karma again. So to make sure make sure make sure sure to make know about precepts, you know, the five layer vows or eight vessels or the thirty six vows.
I mean, of course, all these is not just not one volume, it’s not that, of course, to be free from I mean, to say to be free from whole entire, you know, saṃsāra all the suffering for, you know, forever. Free forever. So, of course, that it’s for that. Of course, then not all that, of course, then the big the the big the big project is to achieve enlightenment of course. For that, you take the vows, you take the presents.
To benefit numberless numberless hell beings, numberless hunger loss, numberless animals, so that he may be in the message. To benefit, to liberate them, for you to liberate them, Something very something that most most practical thing to do in the life, you even to benefit others, most practical thing to do. You want to offer something you want to offer something to others, you know, really benefit. You want to really benefit others, and that means the most practical thing to do. So that so so so solution could two things even in regards even in regards to protect yourself from the.
Two things. So if you do if you do only practice purification, So that’s what was done already in the past. But then but then, you see, if you don’t leave it, if you don’t, if you keep on committing, if you keep on keep on creating karma again and again, then, say, become the practice of purification become endless, never finish forever. You know, for it then, you have to you have to practice the purification forever because you commit this kind of you claim it again again. Then and yeah.
Therefore, that’s one solution. Another solution is to not commit again. So to make sure that you talk about the question of whatever one can, you see, take those number of vials, sort of that. So with the things, then you can sort even the lower so can stop experiencing the lower general sufferings. So many ills, you can stop that.
So even this life, even the problems in this life, difficulties in this life can be solved with two things by purifying the cause of whatever is cancer or cause of know, the whatever other sickness is, a relationship problem or whatever is purifying the purifying the so one solution, purifying the next karma, and other one is to not commit again. But then to make to make it clear a hundred percent, and then to get done the practice, by, you know, but we’re serious, you know, by leaving the bar. So that so even this line problem to solve. So before you, you know, you experience the problem. So so therefore now And then the in in the in the hot hot, the ground is only iron one is one is with the hot red fire.
That whatever even the even the one that was cut, even the pieces of flesh, blood drops in the ground, they will have consciousness. So therefore, much more suffering. They will have due to heavy due to past in the heavenly karma. So even the pieces of flesh that’s that’s sprinkled, you see, drop blood, that drops, they all have consciousness, so much suffering. So so therefore, I say, like that.
So at the moment. So the length of life length of life, the as a black as a black line, that’s one. It’s a double, you know, length of life is much twice longer than what I mentioned in the first one. Obviously, comparing human ears, that must certainly to give ninety eight, that must certainly second half of the lines even twice longer. And the suffering is much heavier, double.
Suffering is heavier, double heavier. Not happier, but heavier. I think I was concerned that I might have heard happier. Somebody might be misunderstanding. Next one is happier.
My generic wish. That’s it. Anyway, so so the then they gathered and crushed, so that softness even much greater than the second one. Then length of lifespans of softness then long longer than the second one. So goes on like that.
So down to the last one, see, that which most the most heavy suffering in saṃsāra. You know? That the last lifespan to one intermediate even. So for example, so this, yeah, gathering, great crying, hot and extremely hot. The which is the most unbearable.
So therefore now, so in that number eight one, that so there’s no recognition of this. No shape. The body is, you know, It it is interesting that in the will of life, you know, in the hell realm, the hell realm through the body, human being, or human beings. So, also my question. Asking why there should from animal realm, get a bone, help them.
But in the will of life, it will draw a human body. Of course, that said that that one gets you to say that’s for the that is for the human beings, so then draw human body. You see? But then but then you may draw I mean, you may have draw not only human body but other different bodies they inhale. But so far, it’s only human being.
The shape of the bodies. So that’s then yeah. Also, when you draw intermediate state being when you draw intermediate state being in the blue line, I’m not sure. So here’s black. You know?
Here’s black around. Here’s white. You know, three animals, and this is about two percent of mind. Here’s black. The non virtuous made karma.
There’s a good karma. So white. Then there’s the negative human beings. Usually, they will arrive. Their hands change, and then the armor bring it down.
That’s when they were sort of well dressed and going up. Like a yeah. Like a festival. Like having a festival or something. Anyway, so well dressed up.
So anyway, if it’s intermediate state being, this meant intermediate state being, that’s going down in. Then then that means if you see human body, that means that the body of the individual is related to the previous life. Usually what I said is traditions, they say that intimate segmental bodies, what was the previous whatever the life before. But but we usually the glue here what you hear is the shape of the body of individual beings, which is going to next to the bird, not the the line before. So if this image has been signified, when the Lord say Lord, then Then it’s human body.
Not a good next, but so this so that’s more like other other tradition. Oh, you see. Like that. Anyways. That other person passed through it end of each week.
That is because the intimacy has been cannot last, dies. I was wondering. Then until find the birth, die and born again there, die born again in intimacy. So forty nine days, definitely have to find the birth. So in the forty nine days, know, big puja is done.
But in other traditions, see, even one, say, one year and much longer, Let’s see, not just fifty four to ninety days. But according to recent time when I checked with the circuit, but it seems to be a different answer. So I’m just referring to referring to the previous life, not the latter, the body called the next life. Life will take after that. The literature seems have different answer, explanation at this point.
It was also not just forty nine days. Except for many, many, many days. But common expression is forty nine days, you see, then you have to find the birth like that. So Rinput is in other traditional, something similar. However, so it is said that it is said that the why when we when we like this and which we don’t push our hand, this is a quantum this is a quantum, you see, human weak.
This is human this is a quantum human weak. So the Internet has been is it going to be born as a devil or hell, then the lifespan may not lead to human, you see, human weak. As in the middle stage, you see, their lifespan may not lead to human weak so much longer. So, however so this so anyway anyway, assuming assuming that person that’s been on dialysis, that’s why to to make sure you do practice, collect meditate for that end of it, into purification end of each week and forty nine days like that. That in case still in the stage, unable to rank in the specific.
So anyway, it’s better to do than not do it, you know, for that person. So mhmm. So therefore now, in the the lowest, they have to there’s no such a few like a living being. Symptom being defined by hearing the by hearing the noise screaming. So like the firewood, you know, wood, one is with the one one is with the fire.
The body is fire. So by looking at the you see it in main, only hearing screaming from that and the hottest fire come from the four directions, you know, from the four directions. So I got to the unimagined, you know, account unable to unexpressible. So I when first for example, when we we see some heavy heavy thin table or some heavy thin storms and the falls on our feet, in the toes, How painful is this? We cannot maintain.
We can’t maintain during that time. When you close the door, if your finger if your finger gets caught, you know, when you bang the door, if your finger gets caught in that, you know, door hit on that. You see, it’s so much pain. We can’t even this during this time, we can’t manage it. Can’t can’t manage it.
Can’t practice Dharma during that time. So if we are in the hell gathered and crushed, gathered in the crushed. All the animals, people, animals, insects, that one killed in the past, then appeared the the mountains appeared in the head. Did you did you the passage was on? And it come up, then had this appeared the mountain.
Here here we see a mountain, you know, with the beautiful beautiful trees and like that, you see. So we know that. So there, you know, flowers and trees, there in a mountain, huge mountain in form of in the shape of the head of the animal that we killed. And, you see, insects or sheep and goats or fish or whatever, Mosquito, whatever. Wanna kill the impart.
So then they appear in that and then crash. Then crash. Body caught inside. The amount of crash. So altogether, they crash.
So like butter, the blood, like waterfall. So this happening into your common finishes. You have no choice. There’s no one there to ask for, see, come help or any family member or anybody, friend or there’s nobody. There’s police.
There’s no telephone touring the police. You know, the to come with a siren siren? Siren? Siren. Siren.
To come with a siren, you know, to save you to save you from the hell. Come. Anyway oh, helicopter coming to save you. Police police helicopter. Anyway so until your come up until your come up nature have gone like this unimaginable times.
So anyway, so how can a meditation practice Dharma impossible even just with the even just your your, you see, toes, you know, something heavy stone or some heavy object falls down, arms something, how painful, just can’t stand. Wanted to talk about suffering, nothing else. That is it. And even if a fire spark falls and drops, fire spark in a humidifier, fire spark falls on falls on the body, the feet or on the hand falls. During that time, constant, without delay, one second we put out.
So during while it’s there, we can’t manage it. You see, can’t take all it is suffering, but can’t do any other thing. So therefore, now, now, even the health, you see, that’s what help. As I mentioned before, how hard is even one tiny fire spot from there? What help?
So therefore, no, it’s a most unexpressible. And that the crime, great crime, so these are all iron on the fire, no door windows into your common finishes. In traveling of time, even you finish the kind one, even that kind of finishes, then the great crying one, next one, like another trapped another iron house. Do that door window. You know, one is fire and blazing.
So so one is into the common niches, not I say, have to experience at that time. Now right now right this minute, we have freedom to we have freedom to we have freedom to have freedom if we practice Dharma, if we purify, we don’t have experience. But that time but that time, once it happened, once the karma is experienced that time, then no matter how many units takes time, is it finished? So right this minute, we have freedom to not expect to not we have freedom to not experience all that. By practicing Dharma.
So anyway so even tiny thorn, if it’s a tiny thorn went inside the flesh in the end of the feet, it can’t stand without taking out. We can’t bend it. We can’t do it in practice with thorn going inside the in the flesh. So it is first held in being a lab again. Know, there is Nāgārjuna said that, you know, in the human world, you see, every day, three hundred three hundred sixty spheres.
Three hundred sixty sixty spheres goes through the body, you know, you see how to say, so unbearable. So in the in that health realm, being alive again. So it’s much more. So Any any any anything that you anything that you touch, you know, can happen. And and then the the the innocent and being that they are killing each other.
What do you see? So due to due to the result of one’s own evil mind, the result of delusion. So it goes on like that. When is unconscious. That’s the labeled as a, you know, the dead.
See. Then again, the voice come from the sky. When I did, I can become alive. So due to due to the comma. So I therefore, right now, having freedom to practice Dharma, not being born.
With this freedom with this freedom, one can achieve Any happiness one wish to achieve. Happiness of future lives, one can achieve. With his freedom, to practice Dharma, not being born in hell, we have now. See today, see this hour, this minute, this moment. We have freedom to achieve Buddhist freedom, happiness, future lives, whatever one wish.
When we reach liberation from saṃsāra, yes, one can obtain that. And also, enlightenment for sentimental, one can obtain that. With this freedom, you can take the cause of all those compressed dharma, cause of all those happiness. So even in one second, with this freedom, even within one second, you can achieve all this happiness. For example, minute when you put palms together to a picture of Buddha, start to Buddha, the minute when you put palms together to a picture of Buddha, start to Buddha, immediately create cause of enlightenment.
At the minute when you make offering, the minute you make one tiny flower or rice, see, one small instance to start to picture of stupa, The minute of that second, you create a cause of enlightenment. When you create a cause of enlightenment, when you create a cause of enlightenment, by the way, you create a cause of liberation from saṃsāra, by the way, you create a cause of happiness in future lives. When you create a cause of life, everything comes to it. Even comes. So So you see, with this freedom, being the body held up, you can trigger the meanings.
So so this so So, of this freedom is more precious. In this first freedom, it’s more precious than we can happiness of our lives. More precious than gold, than mountains of gold. With this freedom, you can achieve liberation from saṃsāra. So, more precious, this freedom is more precious than the size of this earth, gold.
More precious than the size of this whole earth, you know, gold, that size of gold. Then you can fully enlightenment with this freedom. Now this is much more precious than the whole sky. See, filled with the of of whole sky, you know, filled with the gold or or diamond, you see. Like that.
Then, That. With this freedom, one can practice tantra. Then more so it’s pretty much about more pressure than the whole sky filled with the gold. Then, opportunity to practice tantra, and then more pressure than the whole sky filled with the diamond. Then, we can practice can practice higher than than this freedom first freedom is more precious than the whole sky filled with the what did you say before?
Diamond. Diamond before. Before. Diamond. Okay.
Then, you see, filled with wish granules. But whatever you pray, you know, wish you get all the enjoyment gets materialized. This freedom is more pressured than sky filled teaching that universal integration of three deities. So that that then after you wish from gem, wish from jewel, then there’s no say, after wish from jewel, then there’s no nothing left. Maybe the Australian change one.
Maybe Australian say. What’s that? Oh, the sparkling one? Yeah. It’s got different light.
It’s good. Has more pressure than wish. No. No. Was gonna say the Australian bezemite.
I’m joking. No. No. I’m joking. I’m joking.
No. I’m joking. So therefore, if no question one day we didn’t get Prakash Dharma, one hour didn’t get Prakash Dharma, one minute we didn’t get Prakash Dharma, so even a moment or a second, how great loss is having lost or much greater loss than having lost mountains of gold this size of this earth or scaffolding with gold, or diamond, or which kind of jewel, you see, like that. So much great loss if one day you get to practice Dharma, you see, with this freedom, behind this freedom. So how great loss is in in reality.
So that so then then also on the additional on that, this freedom doesn’t last long. It can be stopped anytime. This freedom doesn’t last long and can be stopped anytime. So so there is no time. So there’s only time to punish dharma.
So because of that, there’s only time for Dharma. Not only time for Dharma. There’s no time for, you see, non Dharma. There’s time for meaningless entities. There’s no time.
It’s only time for Dharma. Like like when we don’t meditate on Lamrim, don’t think of Lamrim in our daily life, there’s a lot of time to do many activities. There’s a lot of time, but there’s not time for Dharma. When we not when we do not think of Lamrim, And suffering the large illness especially in the impairment is perfect human is difficult to find that in. So oh, yeah.
I mean, there’s also there’s also sufferings of the sentient beings, they need, you know, what happens in this life and future life and liberation and life. They need all this. But however, of course, some people think that maybe more pursue, more be more stronger pursued by Dharma, maybe those were maybe stronger good heart. However, but when we don’t think when we do not think of Lamrim, do not remember the teaching, do not think of Lamrim, there’s only only time for a million only time for this life happiness, Only time I work for this life happiness, but not time for Dharma. It’s like that.
But now here But not here. You see even the first freedom are so precious. They can be lost in time. So here, no no no time for other things except on the Dharma. What about Dharma?
So like that. And and the best however, there are many there are many are many ways to practice Dharma. However, There is, know, keeping the mind always keeping the mind always yeah. Renunciation of saṃsāra, renunciation of saṃsāra, keeping the mind also in the right view, mindfulness and emptiness. And there is also good, good portion.
However, Of course, one can’t have put it to the realization without a good person. That’s one way. And that’s the root. So based on that, what makes life most meaningful is bodhicitta. So keeping the mind of bodhicitta motivation.
So so continuously practicing Dharma. So the best Dharma, what makes life what makes what transforms the let’s say, like a transformed iron into gold so that you are that once you light transform into see whatever you do cause of enlightenment and we don’t connect the limitless gas merit and then cover most power purification. With that, living life with that present dharma, continuously in bodhicitta. It doesn’t mean twenty four hours without going pee pee and dinner, drink without going for pee pee, cacao, and you know, without going for dinner. So without going for dinner, you can’t go then can’t then there’s nothing to go to toilet.
Anyway, anyway, without so, anyway, so twenty four hours four hours, doesn’t mean twenty four hours of honesty given during prostration or, say, Chan man travel. Doesn’t mean all of that. However, the main thing is mind, keeping the mind in Dharma for this in the best Buddhist. So I So this way, in every second, Buddhist moderation, and every second, then you achieve the trick trick tricklet meanings. Yeah.
Maybe stop here. Otherwise, we lose the freedom of heaven to And therefore I must therefore I must bring it to enlightenment. And therefore I’m going to make food offering and yoga over eating and practicing over eating, charity to the beings including living in my body, bringing to enlightenment by bringing Dharma to them or to become a human being to the connection having a charity to them at this time. The group’s medical other gurus there, direct gurus there. I mean, with the food, you you just just by the way.
So since we offer food, we can offer all the restaurant offerings, all the offerings here and and the and I think each medical group is a medical group. Each one is a one group is a friend in there, every single part. So it’s all is it the whole entire medical group? All the group all the group of. Each pulse of each medical, you know.
So there are many so many pulse of the one holy body. So of the oceans oceans of natural food that in all the rest of the all the offerings here and there and there are other places. Generated infant bliss. Now, maternity, the auction is an act of every hell beings, every ghost, every animal, every human being, every sort of being, a sort of being, they’re all fully interred, liberated from all of a sudden. By purified the cause, by enticing the path within them.
They’re all within the deity, enlightened deity in all practices. Once yeah, once all our family members, as all of us and all the organizers of the course here, You know, the those people, they allowed the one who’s doing service to me. The older residents, especially some members of numbers never died for this food, suffered for this food, clearly, come and hum others for this food, who did work for this food. In the evolution, in the long run evolution after this. So in mood.
Did all the past. It was empty. And I was empty. Achieve what we are achieves there. Krishna can remember this enlightenment was empty.
Lead all this in the evidence. Quite empty. To that enlightenment is empty. By myself alone is empty. Finished.
Four people who are going to take refuge, can they please come to the front, put up your hands? So maybe we do maybe we do tonight when the dream starts. When we start first dream will be taking taking refuge. I’m joking. Thank you.
So the next session will be eight o’clock.
