About this talk. In this five-hour session from the 2004 Mahāmudrā International Retreat, Lama Zopa Rinpoche awakens practitioners to the rarity of precious human rebirth through a striking image: a blind turtle surfacing once every hundred years to thread its head through a golden ring. How do people squander this rare opportunity? He explores delusion, attachment, and worldly distraction—and asks why few question them. He then teaches how to make daily life meaningful: right motivation in family, work, and service so that caring for children or working at a Dharma center becomes a direct cause of enlightenment. The talk includes detailed instruction on prostration with visualization, teachings on anger and forgiveness, and prayers for the sick and deceased. Urgent and practical guidance for anyone bringing Buddhist understanding into daily life.

As always always, you never know when she will come. So please, in your heart, make strong prayers that he’ll come. And then we’ll do the protective prayers so that they get done. And back of volume two in the prayer section. Oh, okay.
So she’s almost here. So maybe we just stand and wait. Page five and the teaching price section. O holy and venerable Lama, when the clouds of compassion have formed the skies of your dharmakaya wisdom, Please release the rain of vast and profound Dharma, precisely in accordance with needs of those we trained. Mahmud lineage.
So which choice of the Chinese but not the English, so just do whatever individual whatever individually wish to the rank and accomplish one of the two stages and serve a crown wisest of the wise. I place the glorious tempting evil. May I be blessed to completely serve the continue that’s song Kapha. Request a kind. Have you blessed to completely serve with the continuance clinging yourself across me, to generate a mind of compassion, loving kindness, and to quickly attain the highest state of Mahāmudrā’s with the path of total integration.
Quickly become inseparable. May I not arise heresy even for a second in the actions of glorious guru. May I regard whatever actions have done us pure. With this devotion, may I see the blessings of God in my heart. Great Buddha, and I the engaging in bodhisattvas, what it is.
This freedom richness is extremely difficult to find. If one doesn’t achieve benefit on this on this body, of the body and the the what are the freedom and richness? How can one will receive this again? How can one will receive this in the future? Another advice by engraved with the.
This boat is difficult to find again. Don’t sleep while one is ignorant. So that so as I mentioned, are Lambertal teachings that How difficult to find this perfect mirror board, again, by the by examples and by numbers and by cost. Sorry. Like the example that is used to realize how difficult it is to find this perfectly human body qualified with eight freedom tenseness.
So the there’s a golden ring. If it’s a wooden ring, it can stay on the water. If it’s golden ring the on the water, There is there is very difficult very difficult to, you know, stand on on the water. So extremely difficult to stay on top of water. That and then doesn’t stay in one place due to waves, the wind or waves that moves if it’s one place, maybe it could be easier.
The total that was ended up leaving the auction. So coming up coming up after only after only after each hundred years only after each hundred years. So able to so able to put the head able to able to put the head to the ring. So So if we stay one place, maybe it moves around. So it’s more difficult.
And and the total comes up only only once each once only after a hundred years. And if the total can see the ring, then it’s easy to put the head through, but can’t see. It’s blind. So that’s blind turtle only comes after only after eight hundred years and able to meet the golden ring and the you see, the able to put the able to put the head through. I have the golden ring on the neck so that to meet the blind total.
So it’s extreme how that is extremely rare. So like that, we see perfect human body. It’s like that so extremely rare to, you know, difficult. So so that we have received at this time, it’s a we have received at this time. It’s a it’s a it’s just like dream.
Dream. Something kind of impossible thing, it’s happened. Something which is impossible, extremely difficult, something’s happened. Like this blind total ever put the neck through the golden ring at at this time. It is something that as I mentioned before, even in each second even in each second, this perfect human birth even in having this perfect human birth, even in each second is more more precious than having than having received skies of having received a skies of not only gold, diamond, but wish wish fulfilling gem, whole sky filled with the wish fulfilling gem.
Do that, whatever your prayer. All the enjoyments you can you can receive. All the sense enjoyment in the in the material needs, whatever you pray, get materialized by the power of the object and your good karma. What such a wishful gem which came from your good karma? Much merit.
Similar person who has a person who has a million dollar came from having collected that much merit and person who has a billion dollar haven’t collected that much more merit, Same, million and trillion who has collected that many more merit. So more and more merit. So similar that so now here, each second that you are having this perfect human rebirth, it’s more precious Each second hour having this perfect human birth is more precious than the whole sky filled with witchcraft and jewel. Live aside, no cushion filled with the golden diamond under these other jewels. Even the horse caproliferative is crown jewel, the value is nothing compared to this precious human body that we have and, you know, qualified to aid freedom terrorism, qualified of eight freedom and ten richness that we have this in it in each second.
Having this, it mean one second. Because having I see, even the one everyone achieved, received skies skies whole sky filled with the witchcraft and jewels that much, but with that alone, you can’t even stop the burden of lore. You can’t Can’t achieve happiness with your life. There’s a good rebirth just from that. Can’t just from that.
Can’t achieve enlightenment just from that. Just what happened. Even a sky filled with the. But but if you have this but if you have this perfect human body, let’s say, even in one second, even you have this for one second, you can achieve any happiness, any of this happiness you wish, happiness with your life or guru birth and so forth, pure and liberation from saṃsāra, enlightenment, good liberation, non abiding social state. One in this one second, by having this perfect human body, qualified to aid freedom to happiness, end of this happiness, end of end of this meanings clear meanings one can achieve.
Happiness beyond from this life. Happiness beyond from this life of enlightenment, any one wish one can achieve. Even within one second, you can achieve all this happiness, all three all three great means. With bodhicitta. The ultimate good heart and the bodhicitta can achieve.
Within within one second. By having this perfect human body, even one doesn’t even one doesn’t have a slight jewel or even a slight jewel or even without one dollar can. But by having this perfect human body, even one with one second on the achieved that figure the purpose, you know, with the bodhicitta. So that so unbelievable precious how it is. And then, know, them as a whole sky filled with not only billions of dollars, but, you know, not only gold and diamond, but it will be huge kind of jewel, even that much is nothing.
And the value is nothing. If compared to this perfect human body, the value of the perfect human body that one has. As I normally mention, all the wealth in the human realm, all the wealth in Sura Asura realm, they have billions of great enjoyment much wealth. So even even a even all that, all the human world, all the world of the sūtra, all this nothing. Value is nothing.
If you compare it to us if you come if I compare the value of one’s precious human body, perfect human body, that one has even within one second. So that so So So so what I’m saying by this can use We use the boat. We use the boat to cross the river, to cross the ocean, to cross the river, to get other side where you wish to be. What happens? So similar, this is this this human body, this qualified to air filtration.
So this this boat boat to cross over the ocean of Samsāra to go to cross over the ocean of Samsāra oceans, the Samsāra suffering to cross over the oceans of Samsāra suffering to cross over this, then to reach other side and end of the suffering. The limit of the end of the suffering, the beyond the reach the you see, to go beyond the suffering and the liberation. Not all that, then even the cessation of even the subtle deployments to us to view the full enlightenment to risk so we use this boat, this property member as a boat to to go to to go to enlightenment. So so saying that Also, so therefore, must take opportunity, must use must must use this this human purpose in a boat. This boat this boat must use to go, must use to cross over, must have opportunity, you know, to use this boat to go to liberation, to go to a great liberation full enlightenment while one has the chance, while one has the boat, while one has this boat, you know, that you can do that you sell or that you can use to crossover or to some sort of suffering.
Even the even the the subtle requirements, you see, to solve that. So this note saying that that pretty. So this post difficult finding in the future. While one is ignorant, don’t sleep. So while so while one is not you see, while one is not liberated.
From the suffering not liberated from the oceans of some suffering and cause delusion karma. While one is, you see, under the control delusion karma, let’s say, being, you know, ignorant. Mind stand by the concept of stand by the ignorance grasping the grasping true existence while mind while as mind stand by that. Illusion by that. One one while one is one’s mind or while one’s mind is illusioned by that or while one’s while one’s self illusioned by that.
But the same one is while the mind is you see it totally, I say, controlled over our power is controlled by this. Don’t sleep. So I miss I miss, don’t waste time. Don’t don’t waste don’t don’t miss the opportunity. Don’t miss the opportunity.
Take using using this, you know, the human body’s boat to cross over. Don’t miss the opportunity. So don’t don’t waste. So the don’t don’t don’t waste. Engaging in the meaningless activities.
While while one is totally stained, possessed, stained, totally overwhelmed controlled by delusion karma on top of that or really on top of that, then let allow oneself continuously under the power of delusion. Let oneself already like this on the top or or continuously, you see, letting letting oneself continuously to be under the under the control of delusion again. Become slave become slave, you know. One make one make oneself slave to ignorance, slave to attachment desire. You let’s say, you made yourself slave to at the moment, I’m trying to memorize this together.
American passport. You have to memorize these few pages. This what? This note talking about what is the independence of America and all the when the civil war happened, what is who was the leader in that time in Pilbara. He’ll have a he’ll have a then England fought and, you know, to control, then they fought back and who was the leader and, what’s the meaning of the stars, the stripes on the flag, American flags.
And so they said then talk about the slave, what the what was that? Luther? Martin Luther. Yeah. I thought you got what I did the one that to was before that, you know, the people, say, who were here were used to slave, you know, but right in the the what?
Then he then he did what? Then he he got the got the rights. He got the rights. Right? Martin Luther.
Anyway, so so then they talk about the slave. Yeah. So before that, you know, use slave by the white and then you see. So then after the court, let’s say, base of freedom. What?
Uphandling? Oh, I see. I’ve never I haven’t got it clear. So I think I’ll get failed. Especially numbers, difficult for me.
Numbers, difficult to remember the numbers. Those all those times what happened. So anyway So one’s self say so here, usually one’s self is a made one’s self made one’s self slave to the ignorance and attachment, you see, slave to slave to attachment. So one one what’s that? When I from beginning, let’s say, but one has been living under the control of under the control of ignorance and attachment.
One one has been living life under their control, into their power, under their torture to under their torture, under their dictator, under their abuse continuously. So ignorant anger attachment dictating dictating you. When we we met we I say, we met them. We allow them to to we allow them to to dictate oneself. We allow them to abuse oneself.
So one when one even even it’s not clear when when your childhood abused by a father or mother, you see. Even you don’t even you don’t remember, but then you don’t remember very clearly, but you suspect. And even that thought makes you so angry. Even you have not clear not really clear memory, but you suspect, you know, they may so upset yourself. And then some then that is something that one day one daily remember, one something that one really remember.
Then you think you are the worst per you think you are the worst person in the world. You think you are the worst, you know, you are the worst, hopeless, worst, the most terrible most terrible thing in the world that happened to The most terrible thing in the world that happened to you. So that but here, now here, now here, in in now here that one has one has let now here, the ignorance, anger, attachment. So these three the these delusions, these these person’s mind, these delusions have been abusing oneself, not only not from not only from this morning, not only from birth time, they have been abusing oneself, from beginningless rebirth. But here, there’s no one sing there’s not even a one single question to this delusion to this to this enemy delusions, really enemy really enemy delusions.
They’ve been torturing you from beginning, this is about the time of the beginning, but there’s no one single question to them. Not even doubt to to the delusions. They’ve been dictating, controlling you from beginning necessary, but but there’s no one single question. So one say say one one without any doubt, one say, let let one continuously, you know, as if there’s not a life, if as if there’s not a life, you know, not a life to live with with being controlled by without going to change about him. Without following him, there’s there’s no other life.
I don’t know that to say. So see, so misunderstood freedom, miss misunderstanding. So following attachment that you are that yourself become celebrity of attachment. Following attachment regarded as a freedom, giving freedom to ourself. Total misunderstanding.
Similar following the anger and believing that giving freedom to our self. You know? Total mis as well as ignorance. Total misunderstanding. So So because of total misunderstand total misunderstanding, so belief is giving freedom to oneself, Or I want to be myself.
I want to be. However however so that’s why the life filled with problems. Life filled with the con con confusion, one after another. Unending. Never finish the worry fears of of the worries of the life.
Same thing again and again. The the same pack same same same package of problems. Like, there’s a box. There’s there’s like cups or cups. The place pleasant cup, tea sets, tea sets with this whole package.
You know? So so that so that so that that there’s a whole whole package of problems such as relationship problems, so forth, or one or another. That same thing over and over. So that’s thing thinking that thinking that giving freedom to oneself, but actually following the delusions, being under the control of delusions, following them. Working for delusion, serving what they want.
What the delusion, say, ask or what delusion want. So due to this total total wrong understanding belief. So one has been suffering suffering in Samsāra with time without beginning. Time without beginning. From beginning, let’s say rebirth up to now.
So that So so wall one is ignorant. What Buddha Sarvashantu? Wall one is ignorant. Do not sleep. That is that is just one that is one example, but not on sleep.
Not, say, mind being distracted by by meaning the meaning meaning the set of this and this then in particular, just mind the life distracted by the able to talk to the edible Dharma. So possessed by that or in the in the control of that, then you will find you will find time to practice Dharma. Become friend of that, become friend of one become friend of the attachment, clinging to this to this life. The thought of the evil thought of the edible edible Dharma. So so twenty four hours, when my when one become friend friend to that or and then, say, distracted about that or my life or go lives occupied about that.
Distract about that. Do not only seeking happiness is like, time to say meditate to any practice, do not find time. Even say to channel one mile of mantra, I can’t unable to find time. But but a plenty of time, days time, but all the times go went to the for the it was Dharma to say, so working for us, working for the delusions, working for the the the attachment to claim to the slide, the total idol dharma. So that the destruction, the sense pleasures that thought the adult dharma, the adult dharma isn’t looking thing for.
So Gatin Tibha Gatin Tibha came to America. This I remember his name. From Gatin Monastery. One Gaten Teba. Not not the new Gaten Teba from Gaten Shatze.
But before that, the Gaten Teba, was a member of Namjia Monastery. But before that, we know that one from So he can be in that space and then he he discovered the the TV. Yes. He discovered he realized he can realize TV. He told people, never watch TV.
He told the advanced. He discovered how the TV is such a waste of time, you know. So he told you to buy it. I think it’s a western student, I think. Not not Tibetan.
And I told him, don’t know what’s the TV. Yes. Can we not state when you discovered? You know? This was discovered that TV about the TV.
How it’s wasting a life in time. So like that. So there are so many other things, you know, that basically is basically is basically is one thing. It’s a following the the, you know, evil thought, it was Dharma. So the evil thought, it was Dharma one of those pleasures and but so so when you’re confronted that, when you’re a friend of that, when you follow to that, then then she so much life is wasted and twenty four hours where you can where you can where you can achieve, you know, in every second, as I mentioned, every hour, there are minute no question in every second, even in each second can achieve can achieve all these three great meanings, you know, continuously one can achieve.
See. And there’s so much. There’s unbelievable. So much what you can benefit, what what you can do what you can do, you know, for sentient beings that that you can benefit that you can benefit of a sentient being. There’s so much what you can do, and especially by maintaining on the Lamrim.
And even even one doesn’t even one doesn’t achieve actual realization of Lamrim in in this life, But at least even that doesn’t happen, even that didn’t happen, attaining realization in this life, lumbrance. But at least you might much closer to it and makes at least you might so easy to each realization in next lives. And well prepared, at least well prepared in this life, makes so easy next lives without much without much hardships without much hardships. So just by the minute when you hear the teaching, get realizations or by reading the Buddha’s teachings, you get realizations. Just with a little bit of intention, you achieve you’re able to achieve realization, things like that.
However so so higher higher realization one can exercise that one is able to one is able to offer deeper and deeper benefit to sentient beings who are equalling the limitless sky Sentient beings who are equaling the limitless the limitless sky, we are able to offer deeper and deeper benefit to them as well that this most precious being from whom I receive all the ones of past, present, and future, all the happiness, everything comfort. So that’s That see. I I do watch TV, but it’s good. It’s a sense of time. And if you you look at, say, If you look at the if you watch the TV with the maybe what TV with the with the idea of with the, you know, the how saṃsāra is natural suffering, how those people are.
But even though they’re having entertainment, you know, you see, even though they’re having, let’s say, entertainment, you see, parties, whatever. But, you see, even that is suffering, even that is not the type of suffering. It’s only being killed, tortured. You know, somebody cheated or something. You know, made wars.
Somebody attacked wars. But even though even though they are in party entertainment, whatever pleasure they do, but it’s all suffering. But if you look, suffering will change. They are suffering because suffering will change. So pleasure feeling feeling pleasure, which is labeled feeling, you know, feeling which is labeled pleasure, feeling which is suffering, if it’s analyzed if it’s analyzed that which one believe as pleasure, if you what one labeled pleasure, because you because you believe that what your mind labeled pleasure and there’s appearance of pleasure.
Then one then one cling on that. Then one cling on that, attached to that, then that become that causes that’s like a chain to tie again yourself to saṃsāra. That that become the nearest cause again to reincarnate saṃsāra. Creating the compounding action. So that’s ignorance and the king of the delusion, the concept of the ignorance grasping that eye aggregates in the true extent.
Then there’s other ignorance, ignorance and karma, and there’s desire and grasp of the sacredness, compound action. Then there’s a seek also crave and grasping, the attachment, the next cause to next level of purchase, which causes. There creates the can, making the seed implant led by the ignorance and karma, combined action, really stronger stronger to throw its future bird saṃsāra. So that however so this So if you if you look if you look at it if you look at with mind maintain on Lamrim, then it’s all suffering there All the people whatever the whatever see, whatever you see is only suffering. Others suffering pain or suffering change.
So all three suffering, pervasive compounds. All three suffering you all three suffering suffering pain, suffering changes, and because that because the is nature of the pervasive compounding sufferings. Hardly so I must so I must most time, I must tell you what you see is on the suffering, suffering life. That continuously creating causal saṃsāra. And then, let’s say, much of it then much of it, cause of suffering.
Yeah. karma also that. So in this way in this way, it become inspiration to in this way, it become inspiration to to look for seek for liberation that how they are totally hallucinated. So as we’ve been meditating, as I’ve mentioned, as I’ve been emphasizing how important is to even break time especially not only sitting time management, but it’s so important. The break time from sitting meditation, important to be in meditation state as much possible to continue our awareness.
So you know, meditation on emptiness, even though awareness and hallucination, but it’s all it’s all comes to the point. You see all these empty. You see what all these things the eye and the object of senses, all these people meet people round ones up. The material the in the sky, trees, road, ground, plants, house, everything appear. Not merely a bit above my mind, existing from a certain side.
So so totally totally false hallucinations. So the by thinking that by thinking that and then what understand comes in your heart is empty. You see? Which is the nature which is the nature of the phenomena. I and all all this sky, trees, road, house, people, see, their natural emptiness.
So, however, you see so all these people see. Also, all these people that you see see that the picture that is that by seeing the picture of people’s life there. However, we can see how all those people see. I mean, at least once you like, when you see Sunnets Dalai Lama, you see certain great practitioners was there, what you see, all the the the is it totally totally living in the hallucination. See, they are totally living in the hallucination in the projection, totally living in their own project projection of the ignorance ignorance concept of concept of true existence.
You see, this concept of true this truly existent, think believing everything is truly existent, a existing from something real in the sense independent existing from the outside. So So if I so except also beings, but everyone living in the in the totally totally living hallucination, Totally. As I just just described the other night, so their own projection projection from their own mind ignorance, how much mind is the ignorance grasping phenomena is too recent. The left imprint left imprint, negative imprint on the medical rhythm and the negative imprint is a manifest out or the negative imprint. The projection came from the projection.
The all this projection, everything appeared even though everything are merely by mind, but appeared everything what exists merely by mind, but appeared something real independent existing from self. So project all this all this hallucination, you see, including themselves, including their own self. You see, I, which may label the who is exist existing may name may label it by mind, but completely covered by this projection, hallucination, and the the themselves, completely covered by this hallucination and action object, everything. So they’re totally living totally their life living totally their living life in in this in this hallucination of world. Nothing nothing what they believe exist.
Nothing what they believe exist. You see, what nothing what they think is true. It’s all false. There’s no slightest even that there. There’s no even slightest of that atom of that is there.
Letting the eye themselves, how how how the eye appear to them, same. There’s no slight atom of that. It’s just same in the action or they you see in the. So then on the base of that, then you see, you know, interpretation, then attachment rises. This is good in this and this and this beautiful, this and this and this, all this exaggeration inter interpolation, then attachment rises.
Then maximize the attachment on that. So you can see now object on which so now the attachment rises on the object on the object which doesn’t exist. You can see now the on the, you know, object where on which the attachment rises on that view, you see, pro projected by ignorant by ignorance, they understand mind. So it’s not there. Doesn’t there’s no such thing.
So you see so so so so strong grasping in a attachment license. And then the first just before that interpretation, you know, ten days, they they they they school to be beautiful with the attachment license. They’re strong they’re strong grasp of their object. So then they suffer, then they suffer so much. Then they suffer so much.
Then that they suffer so much. From that, so many problem comes. So many problem comes from that confusion. Like they have a root spread out or, let’s say, the root of tree spread out or the prominent spread so many. A problem comes like that, you know, spread from the desire.
Then involves killing. Then forget that. Then when they when you don’t succeed that, you know, or or attachment to want, then anger as a jealous mind does all this. Then killing killing killing each other, killing other people that you may feel jealous or you hate somebody in the value attachment, you know, what attachment want. Object or somebody who interfere your objective attachment, Objectively attachment, then somebody who interfere you.
Then, you see, then comes hatred, know, jealousy. There is a killing, stealing. Then all those alternate karma comes there due to desire. So that and the all the negative emotional all the negative emotional thoughts and all other negative comments there. See, everyone getting this.
So so there, you will see how people in the world are suffering. This is without talking war. You know, all those big stories. Without talking about all those historical big stories. Just just some what’s it called what is it called normal life?
What what’s called normal life. What’s what is called in the what is called in the world is what’s called, I say, normal. I want to say, I want our normal life. I want a normal life. He’s not he’s he’s he’s not a normal life.
He’s she’s not a normal life. Not normal. So anyway, so so it’s normal here. It’s just fits with the what most people do. It’s a question that what what common people what wouldn’t people do, you see.
So then if you did it, I think it’s got normal life. Other if you don’t do what normal people do, you know, what I’ve just now described, if you don’t do if you are not engaged in the same life, then you see then it’s got a strange but with regard to strange life, however, they have no idea of what no idea. Actually, life, the other one is strange life. This other one is strange life. I’ve just now described, this strange life.
You see? So since you can see now like this, how sentient beings are suffering, how human beings are suffering, totally suffering, nonstop, twenty four hours. So what is called normal life, totally being a hallucination. Then there’s projection, attachment, anger, jihilism, and all these projection on top of that. So suffer, you see, like this.
So see. Again, not only not only experience not only experience in court cases or the other, you know, other people then, you know, making so many enemies. Follow self you follow self challenging, but with the follow, they say self-cherishing thought. So when you follow self-cherishing thought, until you clear then so many other sentient beings become an enemy. But you don’t think of them, so you think of only self then.
Naturally, so many people can others get upset and they become enemy. And there’s a true case, mean, then life is full of life is full of fears, a lot of worries, so that so the yes. So this is what I’m talking about all those, you know, sicknesses, also heavy sicknesses without on that. And the the other the other types of suffering in the life. All these sufferings in this life, you know, I didn’t see.
Didn’t see. Then at the end, you only can’t stand anymore. The problem problem can form desire, basically. Based on ignorance and karma, and ignorance based on ignorance or karma, ignorance not knowing the what is I, alternative I, I guess, it. The element of mind.
So then then then the one one one can’t can’t handle, then suicidal. Then it’s ended up by suicidal. This precious this precious human body, that precious human body, which is unbelievably easy to understand understand Dharma, Unbelievable easy to understand. So much you can learn in short time by having this human body. So it’s and because of that, it makes it easy to practice, so quick to understand, and so much we can understand in short learn short time and so much we can practice and each visualization, each the liberation from oceans of some such suffering and enlightenment for sentient being.
It’s completion of the qualities of realization and the qualities of cessation of the mind. And they can can can offer scarce benefit, limited scarce benefit to each symptom. There are number of symptom to each symptom. You can offer limited scarce benefit. Lack of dharma, that’s it.
Pressure human body, which has all this has all this incredible opportunity and say, can get to see. And that can that can make, you know, that can make to be perfect to be perfect human body to make the human body qualified to get freedom, tenderness, or accuracy. So what can you tell me, see, then you are totally totally destroyed by yourself, by suicide, committing suicide. That however however, this this life, you know, finished by suffering. This life finished by clearing only cause of suffering, finish only experiencing suffering.
Even what they think is pleasure is only even what they think is pleasure is only suffering. Suffering of changes. What I’ve said before, if it’s analyzed, you discover, oh, they’re suffering. But if it’s not analyzed, then according to view of attachment, it appears pleasure. To the hallucinate mind, if you if you don’t analyze that feeling, then you are hallucinating for your hallucinate mind, it appears pleasure.
But if you but if you meditate, but if you analyze the nature of that feeling, you discover only suffering. So that means it’s only suffering. By analyzing, if you discover is only By just by analyzing and meditating, by analyzing nature, discover pleasure. Then you see it here, say, not not label pleasure on a fitting which is suffering. Not discovering that way.
Then it’s real then it’s see, pure happiness, you say like that. So how you are sort of that. So if you so if you if you look at the market, you know, If you watch the market, you know, the city and they put the if you watch the street, people in the street, you watch. How you see? So see, everyone believe.
Everyone you see, everyone is keeping their lives so busy by believing that this eye here, that it will out there inside the body. You see, everyone there is a if you watch people in the street, you see, the airport airport street in the city, see market, station. Come and going. Yeah. So busy to but but based on believing based on believing, that is real idea.
That’s that is real eye in this body, you see. While there’s no such the while, there’s there’s not at all there in the body. You know, confined from two of the hairs down to the toes, down to the toes or down to the nails, down to the nails of the toes. If there’s nails there. If there’s some small nails, Painted ones.
Anyway, so I can’t find evidence. There’s no such thing there. It’s just not there. In the body, I don’t know. Where they believe in the body, where they believe.
They they don’t believe I, that there’s I in the stomach. They don’t believe that. And then the eye inside the legs or other parts of the body or toes or in the arms, in the heads. Not even not even I can think of that thing, in the neck, inside the neck, and throat. They they don’t think eye.
There’s eye inside the nose. They think that. There’s eye. They don’t don’t think there’s eye inside the nose. No.
But down below neck, above the belly, somewhere. Above the belly, what’s all the interesting things are? The scented smells. Anyway, so above the belly and down below the neck. You see?
So somewhere, you know, between that, above the belly, up down to the neck somewhere. So you should think like that. So one self one self thing like that, others. You look at others or you say all the people in the street, you see all that. Think that.
So while it is while or while, there’s no first thing there. There’s no art there. There’s no such there’s no such there’s there’s no idea. Like in the body. We look for confined.
So even something very gross analysis can’t find. It’s not what it cannot find. While there’s no while there’s no there’s no I at all. But you see, so everybody keep busy believing it is there. Everybody keep busy their life.
You see? Want happiness for this eye, you know? What’s going to happen to this eye in the future? Happiness, you know? What what my friend what our what my say.
Say. Worry concerns, fear to lose friend to lose friend of this eye, to lose friend of this eye, you know, which is not there. So what if you are all like to lose friend? What the friend will think like happy with me, not happy with me, you know, but me, but not not merely after me. This this that that you believe inside the body.
Yeah. You know, I that you believe inside the body, thing is that. So the whole life, worry it, you know. Dear. See.
What if worry? Friend, what do you see? Not finding friend not a person, not finding friend? What if you are not finding friend for this eye? Then after after after years after years by looking, attempting, you found friend for this eye, then you begin another suffering.
Before another suffering, I’m able to find a friend. If I find a friend, I’ll be so happy. So this this I this I, you know, but not me level I, this I. I had this. I had that you believe inside the body.
You know, the basic oh, this will this you know, so happy. This one. So happy. You know, like part of the paradise of the like a pure land or like liberation, you see. But then after you met, there’s there’s excitement, which is not softened, then pushes with attachment source, then become then become another.
After one meet, then be another suffering. Mhmm. Mhmm. So all of that. Same, you see.
Same with the weld. When you didn’t weld, you have another suffering problem, see, not having weld. You know? Once you have world, another another problem new another problem starts, another problem you experience about having world. And then in terms of worry fear, how to project of losing all this so many problems.
You know, other other people taking away, and there’s also many obstacles for the world. So like that. So so everything so you can see here, not here. Everything this you know, everything everything is based on everything based. So life being busy.
Whole life being busy. You can see now here, whole life being busy. You see, everything’s end, everything’s connected, then for this that is inside the body. You see, believed hundred percent is inside this body. You see, whole life can be seen.
Can you imagine? Then you see to, you know, then to see. So You see, doing so many doing many doing many billions of exercise, you know, for this eye to not get sick. This eye here inside the body, you see, that you play to not get sick, you know. I I You’re not familiar with this I here.
You’re doing billions of exercises. That almost every month, there are new missions new missions almost every month, you see TV new missions stretching legs up and down, title of the legs. So all that? One person I say, one idea comes, do this way. One idea comes, next time another idea comes, do this way.
Anyway, next time another idea comes like this or anyway. So you see like that. And everyone shows everyone shows how it is effective. Shows the colors. I’m just the I know.
It’s the lost how how it helps to make skinny. Well, fitness, but I’m actually skinny. You know, from skinny, we make skinny. You know, it’s called fitness. So how to make skinny?
And so you spend you see for this so you see this eye is not while it’s not there, even after that, nothing. But believing, spend spend so much money just for that, learning the splints for exercise. It’s for fitness, for skinny. And anyway, so you see so So you can see so you can see here how the reality of the life. So like that, Okay.
So before the before the marriage, So there’s a lot of expectation. You know, this this I for this I, which is not there in this I. So this is real the real I. For this real I, to get married. This real eye was not there, you know, at all.
Not in in a way into reality, but this eye to get married. So there’s a lot of us there. What do call? There’s a lot of movies in their mind. Movies or there’s a what do you call?
What’s the word that? Fantasy. Fantasy. Fantasy. Fantasy.
That’s a great fantasy you created. That’s a great fantasy you created. You know, so much happiness that this this I will be so happy. Everything will be there. No problems.
No problems. Everything will be perfect. Everything will be so perfect. So for this eye, you know, this this eye. Anyway, then after that, after it’s done after it’s done, probably the problem starts the next day.
Didn’t realize before. Anyway, the then children, when pregnant pregnant, suddenly find out pregnant. Anyway so then that that’s not that’s not the one. Then then when one has one one children, then let’s say before before before one thing, oh, how beautiful it will be. How the life will be so beautiful, amazing.
So all this fantasy, you know, amazing, so beautiful, you know, so bliss, you know. But once you get a child, when you’re actually a child, then they’re completely shocked today. That day and night, all this kept clean and crying and demanding and, you know, that that that that that that yourself self no time to do and other things. However, to totally see, what you what you dream, what you had before, and now in the reality start different. And as so, however, so everything, this I, you know.
So But if you’re thinking if you’re thinking before to a child, everything before like this to a child, it is, you know, to give a human to give human to give human body to a sentient being. To to to give human body to a sentient being. And to you treat you treat you treat it you treat it as as one of the sentient beings, as one of the sentient beings. From number of sentient beings to one of the sentient beings. So you treat it you treat it, you see, precious sentient being in that way, not as my child, not as object attachment or I see.
As object of pleasure, you know, for self-cherishing thought. Object of pleasure object of pleasure for self of self-cherishing thought, none of that. But you see out of compassion to give human birth to give human body to a sentient being and to treat it in that way. So as one of the precious sentient beings, then that one’s correct for motivation. And then then you then even after child is born, you take care that way.
That is correct motivation. Otherwise otherwise, it’s all just attachment and the you know, play pleasure, like pleasure for self chasing thought that you know, keeping packed keeping packed for awesome for awesome pleasure. Or or you see, you feel lonely. So other people, there’s no people, there’s no human being staying with you. There’s no human being staying with you.
Don’t get long. So then you’re laughing pet. So you’re laughing. You should love nonhuman being. But they can’t they can’t complain to you.
That mean they might get angry sometimes, but maybe you see them. So but can’t do much. So anyway, so, you know, Pat, given Pat was I saw saw one Australian couple in in in the United States. I saw in TV. One Tasmania or South Wales, I’m sure what one couple keeping a snack, keeping a, you know, a snack as a pet.
One snake. They they had that one snake kept his pet. So the snake was crawling down on the body. They were sitting in a bench bench over there. So later, I heard the snake bit him.
I heard yeah. Mhmm. I think they might snag for quite some time. I think there’s some karma. So I think so so I’m ready to see that.
Not not the last time not the last time a lama was there. Maybe before I’m sure. So usually lama scold to because lama’s lama’s relative. I’m I don’t I’m not I don’t think a brother from same mother or relative. So usually I’m a school quite a bit to.
Also, I think one night we’re sitting at food, Momo. But the Momo is not well cooked, not completely cooked. So he does very fast. So the momo is not a complete quote. So I don’t know what is with that or something else.
So Lama said Lama said, my dogs are better. My lama Lama said, hey. My dogs are better better because they don’t get me angry. Lama told this thing. They don’t make me angry.
The next the next the next morning, during his teaching next morning, during his his teaching, they said, next morning, his teaching, said, during his he he was used. As soon as made comments that in the West, people don’t get along with people for the then rely on then they rely on the, you know, dogs. Then they rely on dogs, you know, as a friendship, you see, you know. So next morning, the teaching center said, I thought there was quite a interesting night before what Lambert comment to teaching. So anyway, So, anyway, since the since the topic happened here, So if one so correct way of taking care.
If you have children, correct way of taking care, it’s like that, the correct attitude. So how to make the life meaningful in the sense taking care of children dharma. No. How to make the life meaningful in the sense in that sense of taking children. So what I explained before.
So is one is one sentient being So chant, you see, for the benefit of to liberate numberless this liberty of simple beings simple beings equaling the limitless sky. Yes. So So when we’re at the sadhana, being in this body, it’s the motivation. So it but benefit all sentient beings. So this child is the child is one of them, you know, not less than them.
It’s one of them. So thinking that way. Then let’s see. There’s there’s a common connection. Why it happened?
What is is born to you? There’s a common connection. Impossible. However, that you owe coming maybe you have coming debts to that, see, protector. So however, so thinking that way is one of the one of the simple things.
Rather, you know, the, say, thinking as, I’m sorry, attachment of the mind this, mind that. Even though it is your child, but the attitude. Then then think that, see, here, purpose in my life is to benefit for all sentient beings, and that freedom from all the suffering suffering to be to freedom from all the suffering causes and bring them to enlightenment, you know, causing temporary happiness and ultimate happiness. So so so here so here, how fortunate I am how fortunate I am that I have opportunity at least to benefit one sentient being, at least to help to benefit one sentient being. So if you see a one child, you know, so that’s of course, one can make hundreds of children, but I see.
Anyway, for some time that I’m able to I have I have opportunity to help, you know, benefit even to once and then being half person, I’m too. That that at least even once in being find find my body useful, beneficial. My limbs are useful. You see, for the happiness of that sentient being. How how wonderful it is.
So that or, you know, how wonderful it is that I’m that I’m able to use my limbs, my body’s mind, you know, to give happiness to to to take care at least even one sentient being. How wonderful it is. So then, yeah, that. So the with the like similar so similar attitude of bodhisattva. So in that way, they’re taking care of family and children.
Then so much inner peace, happiness you get. Satisfaction, fulfillment, and this gives much satisfaction that in a PCC. For that same thing, and then as I mentioned, don’t know when you give when you make charity to beggar or any beggar or non beggar or whatever, somebody to think it’s so precious being that I see on my past present, all my past present future happiness enlightened everything. All the realization part enlightened everything. You know?
First, to me that how precious it is. So similar, Then you do then you do the giving. So They have to they have to give him. And and similar that also there was a what what number What what the namplasad Buddha sapas they cherish is the same thing. What namplasad Buddha sapas, those holy beings whom they cherish most is the same thing.
So this that means including these these sentient beings, who’s more is the sentient being most cherished by all the non-Buddhist sabbaths. And the most cherished cherished by all the Buddhas. You see? So by by by giving by making charity to them is same as is same offering to all the Buddhist sabbaths, to Buddhist sabhas, make offering to Buddhist sabhas. And and and it’s the best offering because it makes the same thing happy.
So it’s the best offering to Buddha, Sabha, and Buddhas. This is if you think offering to them, then it becomes offering also. You know? Charity and offering to things. So numbers are Buddha Sabhas, numbers are Buddhas.
Not and not just not just only become offering, but the real offering. Of course, you course, you can of course, you kill other being in their possessions. You may often do Buddhadharma Sangha or you steal their things and then often Buddhadharma is still often still you collect merit, but that doesn’t doesn’t really please their mind. But here but it do it’s slipping often, but doesn’t please their mind. But here, helping sentient being, you know, pleases all the nonetheless Buddhas and Buddhas, whole mind.
I also mentioned other one yesterday. But how about these two things too? It’s a very it’s a very good, very important, very good, very mentality. No. I think I was precious, then also and this also offering to number the Buddhas.
Number the Buddhist suppers and Buddhas because it pleases making the sleeping happy. You know? That pleases all the Buddha with the suppers, makes them makes them happy. You see? So become the real with the best offering.
So I think it’s very I think very good to remember when we make charity, when we, you know, help us offer service to others. Two things get done. So here. So now same here when you take a baby. Mhmm.
Same. I think it’s same. You know? Mhmm. It’s also so it’s all my past, present, you know.
I say, all my past happiness, present. The past happiness from beginning to the birth, present and future happiness, life, everything from my life, So most precious. Same when we take care when we take care parents, when when when one take care once or father mother, you know, again same like that with that attitude. Same with that attitude. How precious it is.
And then, you see, by making helping them, helping even as one person, father or mother or whoever. So to remember that again, again, again, again, it’s very important. So mind mind training this way, practice mindfulness in this way, then automatically, when you hurt automatically, when you hurt somebody, you know, when they get authorized to hurt somebody, to harm somebody, then you see, oh, I shouldn’t that because it hurts to all that. This is hurting to all the Buddhist sabbaths and Buddhas, you know. It’s opposite opposite of pleasing the mind.
Opposite. This is harm to all the Buddhist sabbaths and Buddhas. This hurt and harmless interbeing is harming to all. So they just but this is what they cherish most. Number of Buddhist sabbaths, cherish most.
Number is Buddha cherish this most. This is the being. So whatever I do, yeah, mentioned this topic another some time ago, I think. I do one of the day, I take my talk. No?
So, see. So therefore, you dare not therefore, you see, you dare not hurt. That’s harm. That’s something being you you dare not hurt harm. So this is what cherish the most.
But not just one. They generate they generate their compassion, you know, and but it is the inter mind part and exercise all these five part part of merit, every part of life and part of mental normal learning. So the Buddhist sabbath, you know, Right? They are collecting merit for three khandlers collecting merit for three khandlers great eons. They are exercising the Bhumis, you know, for the for the benefit of every single sentient beings.
Numberless numberless sentient beings, every single sentient beings. So also, that includes the sentient being, you know. Okay. Buddha numberless Buddhas, what for they become? What for the, you know, what they practice like the Buddhist sabbaths and then complete complete the truth of merit, you know, a creative merit following path for many eons, and then it should be enlightenment only for sentient beings.
Only for the sentient beings. Only for the sentient beings. So that means including this sentient being. Buddha, Satya and Buddha become enlightened for this sentient being. Collective collective and achieve enlightenment for this sentient being.
So that is all out Buddhas. You know? So therefore, even even even as little service, even the little service, you know, the help is a service to all the Buddha, Buddha’s Buddha’s Buddha’s. The best our best service, you see. So that so for the so mind training this, you see, remember this again.
So it helps, you know, when somebody calls to harass to hurt, to disrespect or to hurt, then suddenly comes, oh, oh, this is, know, hurting, harming to nonetheless Buddhist sabhas and Buddhas cannot. So you see, suddenly can suddenly, see, immediately drop out. You drop that out. So that’s so so even when we’re working in the old Fox home or the same care old old age people, young people, child, or the working in the orphanage of orphanage the deformed children with a deformed, you know, working there, same day early. That is attitude.
Then it’s with the attitude then it’s beneficial. Then yours then the then, you know, working for so your time is spending, I said, during service, they’re so beneficial to your mind. Like an actor, you know, so beneficial. So, actually, the so, actually, So this attitude stem So we’re able to work for we’re able to work in. So same at the meditation center.
Well, this is all where many people come to, you see, especially especially here is, of course, center. That unbelievable benefit versus this is causing this is not just a this is not this is not just working in company factory. This is a, you know, something that has come there to practice Dharma, to learn path, how to to learn path, how to get a job suffering with saṃsāra, and how to be free from that and cause of that. You know, it should happen. It should happen is to be free by learn let’s say, by learning the qualities and general faith and dim.
And learning karma, they get they don’t get reborn in Lord realms. You know? There’s there’s coming coming to the center. And by coming to the center, learning qualities of dharma sangha, karma, and then, you see, by taking the dharma sangha on top of that. So that liberates them from the Lord himself and purifying the karma and also by understanding karma, living in the mortality.
So they don’t create don’t create moderate purified past near karma, which causes to be from lower realms, but they but they stop. But they stop of those new karmas. They stop creating gain by taking a bath. Then the learning mind part. Learning how Samsāra nature is suffering generating the wish to be free of that, the liberation, and practicing bodhicitta, learning about bodhicitta, compassion to us, mind part, then make them to achieve enlightenment.
So I’m not semester not semester. Work in a factory or company or something say, here’s here’s a totally different, completely different here. And so here, you’re so and and here, you’re doing a service. You’re offering service for them. Giving them opportunity, all these to mutable dharma So that is the ultimate to achieve enlightenment.
To see the suffering of oceans of suffering of saṃsāra, which is here which which never ended before, which they have been experiencing time without beginning. Beginning as a revert. So now here, helping them, you know, to end their suffering or Samsāra. So so you see, the benefit benefit of what a bond is offering, That’s just what they receive. What you are offering, what they receive is limitless sky limitless sky.
You know? And so so here so here, your service become unbelievably important. The utmost important, unbelievably important. So, you know, the service, the center. So even there’s teacher, but teacher alone cannot cannot cannot not enough.
Also need time to need organize need organization to provide place facilities and the teacher, everything to say to so need all these conditions or facilities place. You know, need to orient all these so many things. So the so your personal so your your dedication, your your dedication, your service is part of a big service. The including Dharma Dharma teacher and it’s part of it’s part of the whole thing. So so every sentient beings being comes to mental center to a Dharma to mutate practice.
So they get all these benefits, which I mentioned before, then highest enlightenment. So so there’s in the all all this impact benefit one one is offering to dim to to every person. That comes center. Cyber is because they because they’re this incredible, whatever, say, deep benefit you’re offering, joining with the joining with the group and your service, during your service along with all the rest, able to offer this deep benefit. So therefore Yeah.
So that is in how we’re doing. So think same, maintain same. When we were say, in the center, we work same into but, you know, how how everyone so precious to think that to think that as much possible, you know, in order part. The the root from whom I receive the the root of all my happiness, all the From beginning, it’s a both happiness and then present and future realizations whole path enlightenment, you know, enlightenment, everything. Oh, so oh, from my receipt.
Every single happiness comfort and so that so to have that awareness. So maybe person from the center that you deal deal with. So then so in my so in this way, then also, you have no even even you had some emotional problem, some egoistic problem or personality, play personality crush on the personality problem or something. But when you meet a person, if you’re able to think that, then it releases your attention. It releases it releases your the mind become knotted.
Not to tell us like, I said, long or the the not not long long. Long. Not not long. Long is all transmission. So the the, you know, from appetite.
Appetite or very self concentrated. Very self concentrated. So you see some people, you other person that does very self confident, so worried. So very self concentrated. And then that person is in no time even to say no.
If the person has no time even to say hello to others, the the person is not interested to say even hello to others, you know, even to smile. There’s no smile. The smile doesn’t come out because so concerned, so substantive, so concerned or also need or something, some problems. So even the face very understood to you. It’s uninterested, you know, to to outside people, you see.
Doesn’t want to speak, you know. So that so so that doesn’t happen. So it releases attention and brings brings, you know, a lot of space in your heart and, you know, brings peace, inner peace, happiness. And and with this thought and and so with this enjoy in that peace, you see. But this then, you know, as a you become kind person, that time there’s good heart, and you become kind person.
So then your speech also is different, very sweet, polite, respectful, and also physical manner is respectful. So So the so the other so other person, the outside people come there very happy. So it makes them very happy to see you happy, to see you, you know, happy, happy, joyful, warm hearted, kind. Of course, smile makes them very happy. On top of that.
So that’s so so the say, oh, so makes them feel feel better or like home at the center. Makes them to feel better, say. Maybe maybe they feel even better than they are at home. What has emotional problems, that many problem, even at the center feel better. They feel they feel peace at the same time, you see.
So even before they begin they even they before even they before they listen to teachings, you know, before they meditate, just by seeing the people, they find they get much peace. Happiness, you see. So what do you see? I think I heard I think even in the business I think even in the business, I heard that there is policy, there is education, you know, how to regards how to think, even business advice, you see. I mean, there there can be two motivations.
One motivation to, you know, to my money so that this way the clients, you can receive a lot of clients, they were happy to come to shop to buy. Then, you know, it came a lot of, you see, owner. So came a lot of money, you see. But, you see, it could be that could be that motivation. But here but here, you do this.
The center is the benefit for sentient being. So the you see, to save them from the to save them from to save them from the bring enlightenment. So therefore here so therefore here, you see, practice of kindness and, say, helping support. Say Thinking thinking how pressured they are. It’s it’s a person that comes.
And so it’s It helps oneself to achieve enlightenment. It helps to then it helps oneself to achieve enlightenment. Then that helps. That helps to enlighten other sentient beings. It helps it helps it makes the sentient beings, people are coming to center happy.
Then then this will take a more spot to to come again again to to then take opportunity. This way, then they have taken opportunity to learn dharma, the Prakash dharma for that. Then then this way, each person come in the center can say. Stop harm others, first thing. Second thing is none of that, but to belong compassion, benefit others who are numberless, others who are simply numberless.
So in that way so in that way, by learning karma by learning karma, they stop and they will harm others. And and also so they learn the credit cost. Learn stop they learn from others. Also, learn create a good karma cause of happiness and especially by develop compassion. They benefit, you see, to all the sentient beings.
And so that’s so that’s how it’s that that’s how it’s it’s that’s how each person come in the center. Brings world peace. Each person come in the center, that’s how each person brings world peace. Peace in this world and peace at their home, their family. Not only peace to themselves, how his life, mind, and the the neighbors to society so that so that Even there’s even there’s only two, three going to the center to learn to to do meditation, to learn Dharma, only two, three people.
Even only one person comes to send to the teachings. But that but that person, you see, as I mentioned before, by learning karma, stop harm others. So absence of harm, what others receive from that person, Other symptom may not receive harm to that person. It’s a peace and happiness what they’re receiving from this person, from this student. And then, especially by developing compassion, you know, but the particular person benefit on top of that.
You see, to that one person to all the sentient beings. So definitely, person contributes, you know, world peace, Mhmm. Brings world so no question. Wherever the person is in the office, where it is. Doesn’t harm others and reduce, and then also practice of compassion.
The only thing that benefit others. Bring peace and happiness as well as in the family. That person’s also at home, the family members and, you know, parents, the family members, and then that person has husband or wife or children, and that family. So bring so much peace and happiness and educate and also educate the children. That person educate educate the children also that way.
Many many of the so then, themselves, learn. They also become an example, inspiring example, a good heart, know, bring peace and happiness to others, example to the children. You see? So there’s so there’s there’s so there’s so many. This one person coming to the center to learn dharma.
There’s so many ways that this person can benefit. It brings peace, happiness. You know? So many ways. So First, so it’s totally different, the ample unbelievable benefit than a factor of a company or just, you know, the other things, say.
So going back, making life meaningful, useful. Somebody’s if somebody in in the case of having family life, children, you know, have to take care, you know, look after. So how so how to make that meaningful? Say, push it. Very important because you have to sacrifice so much of your life there.
So much of your life there. So so it’s very important, very important to very important to have correct motivation to see to make it to make it best use, to make it to make it really most beneficial. That so without without so without that, you can do many other things. You see many other individual things that we just don’t retreat, going for teachings, traveling, for teachings, and doing retreat. You get another so many other things.
So now so the so so therefore, yeah, it’s it’s very important since this since this is since this is the life of what happened, then to make that best use, to make that most beneficial. So this way, then you collect with this attitude, then you collect and then you collect so much merit. And then it’s all with the Buddhism motivation, then even taking care of child, she becomes a great purification constantly with the bodhicitta motivation, then constantly purifying when it comes stronger compassion, stronger bodhicha that you have, then it will much more powerful purifying many eons from the karma and the question always so much merit, you see. It’s it’s a practice on bodhisattvas deeds here. Set up in a sacrificing your life, sacrificing you, giving your life, protect her as sentient being.
Giving your life to take her as sentient being. So this what it is. So it’s a Buddhist supper did also can be a practice of six parameters. You know? There if one know how to do that.
So so that Mhmm. So I see. So So the in this in the schools that in the schools that teach how to be how to be profession externally, You know, how to do this the university college teach the externally, you see the external works, how to profession. But I never taught in the school year, college, university, however, never taught never taught. Never thought how to live a life and how to do everything professionally.
If they really want the with the with the mentally, inwardly, that’s never taught. The most important is not taught there. Only externally, the professional work is taught. But the part of the mind how to how to do everything inwardly, that never that’s never problem. Never that’s missing.
That’s a big that’s most important education. So so the So able to find a job, able to make money, able to have education. That came from past good karma. You know, able to have money, able to have a job, able to have comfort now has come from past good karma. The cause the cause was already created in the past.
The cause of this is education that helps to get degree can be that can be conditioned. That’s conditioned to find job. Conditioned for the conditioned to have a to have wealth, to condition for the condition for the comfort, the happiness. But the main cause the main cause having this success now is is not the is not the education itself, or you were studying slightly in school, university, and degree. Main cause is not this.
Main cause of this happiness that happen now, that one has now, is it it’s already creating the past. So simply simply, you’re just living on the past good karma. Like like a job you did in the past, you’re living on that. So like that, it’s like the same. Then as you live on that money, continuously money will get run out.
So similar, you just live in the past, there’s a little bit of karma, there’s a little credit, you just live on that. It’s not it’s not because this person like this, you know, was going to university school and then they, you know, they comfort all this. That’s not main cause. Main cause is all done. It’s just condition.
The degree, then you have to find job, then make money and have come from life. That’s a condition. So so they’re just living on they’re just living on the past merit, little good karma, correct in the past, they should live on that. So if they don’t create again, if they don’t create this life, good karma, then you see, you run out with little good karma you have run out, then I can then you then life goes down more more difficult. Mhmm.
Then you experience all the result of problems. So like that, see. So you finish the course of the good karma, the course of the having comfort and success. So therefore, So therefore, they need to clean this clear good karma in order to clean your success in their life, happiness. So same, you need to do job again to collect money similar.
So here, need to come again this life. So that that continual success, more and more happiness in this life. And especially, no question about life after this happiness, future lives. So so they have to the the so this life this life has a responsibility of future life. All the kind of future life happiness is a is a depends on this life.
Whether you create good karma or not. So you don’t create good karma continuously in this life. In future life, you don’t achieve good or you don’t have success in the future lives. So therefore so therefore, I say it did I say. So so if they live if they no matter how professional, how external profession they learn, but if the motivation just only is the say, only this life.
Attachment, clearly on this life happening then, everything, whatever they do, along with the external profession, along with the external profession, learn from university college. But motivations are negative. So then all whole life whatever they do become a karma. Then of course, the let’s say, the attachments seeking some future life. The clean seeking a clean future life sense.
Happiness. Then, see, so if all of that, they don’t have thought to if they don’t have motivation to achieve liberation from saṃsāra, then whatever they do, nothing becomes cause to achieve liberation. If there’s no good heart benefiting others, What what we should do that, then whatever they do, nothing can cause to achieve enlightenment for sentient beings. So, however however, if they don’t if they if they are not educated with good heart if they are not educated with heart, then whatever they do becomes only what what do they do? Only becomes cause of some other on the cause of even that large rhythm on the cause of large rhythm, say, whatever they do with all the professions, know, that if they learned, but with all that motivation, so all the attachment came to this, right?
And whatever they do become on the cause of the law. So therefore, cannot bear, therefore cannot bear the long run suffering that we’re going to face, or the long run suffering in the future. And besides all the confusion problems, what they’re going to go through, because of desire, advertisement, The then the alcoholics alcoholics, then they try to edit it. Store, try to edit it. That that was question.
That was just a question about the attachment. It’s true with the mind. It’s true with the mind. The it’s it’s a it’s a it’s a shortcomings of attachment. So so that person, the child, so that have a daughter, son, whoever need education of good heart and education of psych it needs a psychology of learned needs to learn the psychology of about psychology psychology of how the attachment destroys the life.
You know, it leads to all these other so many of these life problems. Let me see. Then see, it interferes job, it interferes even the mundane life, even it interface even to live the, you know, even the mundane life. I need education, need psychology that, you know, the how the attachment leads to difficult life. So need, to say need to have education, say, continuously hearing the showing showing or showing or, say, explaining or showing the people’s problems that however so, I mean, in that we always it may not be always successful, but not all the time may be successful, but it might help.
Can help. So how you are see. However, parents has incredible responsibility responsibility of their life. But there are many things. There are so many educations missing in school, not taught.
So so the responsibility is not only in school, not only the teachers in school. So if they’re spending more time at home, So parents have can I respond, please? Not enough to not enough to give birth to child or to have a university education category, then that’s it. Not all that, but there’s great responsibility. So not just happened in this life.
So the happiness peace and happiness, put them to have peace and happiness in their life, that depends on they have a good heart. For the, say, practicing practicing kindness practicing kindness in everyday life and practicing, say, forgiveness in their lives put to others hurt those who battle treat with the same. So to not keep garage to let go. Parent kindness, everyday life, the edge that education towards animals, towards human beings. So unbelievably important for their peace and happiness.
And this way, they bring this way, the the child that one child can bring so much. One child, you know, given this education and practice, gives so much peace and happiness in the school, gives children and at home, also say at home to the family everywhere. But a child grows everywhere. Where if it grows, can be so much peace happen to others, make so many people can it can make so many people happy, that child, you know, by practicing these things. And tolerance, patience, tolerance.
And the other one is rejoicing. Whenever whenever you see, say, having whenever you see good things happen to others, it’s just everyday to practice. You see somebody has a beautiful house, and it’s how wonderful is that they have that they can enjoy this. Rejoice in other sentient beings and having happiness. So how wonderful is the is the the angels?
They have this beautiful house to enjoy. If one see somebody has a beautiful car or how how how wonderful it is how wonderful it is this person, see, have this bit of a car, you know, to, you know, to enjoy it. How and even somebody if somebody merit or found a friend, they also just but this is happiness what that person need. This is happiness what the person is looking for or need. So how wonderful is the person’s found or or, you know, friend that person wanted.
So you’re ‘s not attracting to that, but it’s it’s rejoicing. It’s it’s not a diploma desire, it’s a rejoicing. So so constantly, so all the time you have peace, you bring peace in your mind. So whenever you whenever, see, whenever good thing happen to others, when you see in daylight, rejoicing. How wonderful is it?
So if you so if you if you the opposite, if you practice jealousness, jealousness envy or jealousy, then it becomes envy or jealousy. Then it becomes cause of it becomes it becomes cause for us cause for loss instead of success, instead of achieving success. If you rejoice if you rejoice, you collect merit all the time, it becomes cause of success. It becomes always cause of success for you, This life and future lives. So success success that you would have like that that you have like that in a world and whatever is, you know, so many lifetimes.
So many lifetimes. So it is cause so opposite. And we are to listen it then. You can you create you create obstacle. So that becomes that that causes obstacle for your success.
Mhmm. This life and future lives. So we see. And then So if one doesn’t practice the the tolerance, then then always anger rises. It always anger rises.
It destroys or it destroys the merits, cause of happiness, little merit are granted. One does anger destroys that. Then always it always it destroys one’s own peace, happiness that you have in your life, it destroys that. It burns the marriage and it destroys your peace and happiness, whatever you have, tranquility. So it destroys that.
Then it harms it harms not only not only harm it harms you, never bring in the peace and happiness. Incredible harm to to your life, but it harms to many others. It harms the family. It harms many sentiments. The person can end again, again, again.
And then that then that destroys your destroys one’s own friend, makes a friend enemy to you for to turn enemy to yourself. So if you have if you get a if you don’t pass the patience. So it makes other makes so many other people, other syndemics angry, unhappy with you. So then of course, result, then they report report in the large room such as health and then or then there’s all so many lifetimes, the sufferings even upon a human being. Then it becomes so easy to get angry in future lives because of the so much negative imprint much negative imprint left in the mind.
So in the future lives, each time when we get angry, leaves negative imprint negative imprint on the mind, on the momentum. So future lives, we see, becomes so impatient, so is to get energy. So then the worst, like, future lives are going much, much worse for that. So by practicing forgiveness, So you don’t hold a grudge. So holding grudge bring bring it in, say, it makes you emotional sick, mentally sick, you see, we call grudge, you know, pain.
And also, it doesn’t bring it doesn’t bring happiness to the other person, doesn’t bring happiness to you. So if you let go if you let go of that golden grudge, practice that. Practice the let go the practice of forgiveness, then it brings so much peace and happiness to other person. Bring immediately peace and happiness in you and to other person. Seeing the other person so happy, it makes more it makes you more even more happy.
So it becomes contribution for the world peace. Every practice of forgiveness to one, say, to one person, two people, three people, however, like that, it able to bring it’s able to bring world peace. Now now in the future. So that it was amazing that in America, I saw in TV that one mother, one one old mother, her daughter was stolen or kidnapped. Her daughter was kidnapped by men, and then the daughter was killed by the men.
Not only kidnapped, but they kill her, but she was killed by the men. So this lady was saying, you know, she gave forgiveness to this person. I I don’t think she’s a person who Buddhist or did Kavan course or that, you know, when the Bodhgaya or Dharmasala or, you know, this and that, did you budget salary retreat or, you know, all that. Anyway, you know, it’s really amazing. I was very amazed.
So she’s in the in the she said she said she gave she she said she gave for she gave forgiveness to to the man who who kidnapped her daughter and and not only that, but killed. She killed the man killed him, killed her. I was completely was amazed. Then there was one man. The the last year, there was water there was this happened with one person or two people were shooting many, people, and they could not find for a long time.
What’s called what? What is called the one? Sniper. Sniper. Sniper.
Sniper. Sniper. Sniper. Sniper. Sniper.
Sniper. Sniper. Sniper. Snapper. Snapper.
What’s snapper? So they didn’t find for men for a long time, you know, who were who was killing. Couldn’t find a long time. So this man, there was one I think I think it’s maybe half and half, you know, white and black maybe. Anyway, so this man was shot, you know, three three three blades.
He was shot three times. And he said that what is it? I forgot now. He says he was he said he was he wasn’t angry to that to that. He was angry too.
So there was question to that man whether that man should be killed or not. And then this man who was shot three times said, shouldn’t be killed. That’s great. It was it was very inspiring. Great.
Very inspiring. So anyway, there I mean, on the even Nippon Metapodism, I mean, never learned about all the techniques of meditation. You know? But it’s incredible. But, you know, what a good practice.
So anyway say, So this this This is, I think, very, very important very important education for children, at least this for things for five months. But so sensuals are unbelievably important essential for their happiness to have a long life, healthy life, everything, you know, peace of mind, peace of happiness, inner peace of to a good life, to a meaningful life, and to benefit some to to bring happiness to so many people and animals, person. I think, substantial. So I think it’s also I think it’s also very important to add that very important to very important, I think, also at the center, very important. Not only about your parents to teach children, but also and also parents also.
They have to be an example for them, but the rest they may not listen. They may they may not follow. They may not but they may not follow the advice if they even they are told. So they have to see also example. So I think and then I think an excellent thing to see of the mentorship.
I say I said, I say, some of the center. No question. No question. These are very these are very fundamental Dharma practice, you know, very fundamental. Whether we realize emptiness, mamudra or not, but I think these are very fundamental very fundamental source of peace and happiness in the world, not only in the most life, but in the world.
So I think and also in Sanga community among nuns, that’s a very essential these are very essential things. This I added on the universal education. The idea was additional thing for university education. Then there’s like for example, you see to achieve liberation from saṃsāra, the patamashi vows, then to achieve enlightenment for to achieve enlightenment, so that even liberation them as quickly So similar for universal education, the university education. So there’s a kind of like vow.
The Internet by Songtan Gambol, who is a king, Dharma king, embodiment of compassion Buddha, jealousy. He met this ten virtues. He met this divine Dharma, ten virtues. And the human Dharma, sixteen clean sixteen, say, clean sixteen maybe human Dharma. So this all this all basically how to live the life advice.
So from the Gompa met this rule or or the this, you know, practice for the whole Tibet as constitute constitution, part of constitution. So But but So to so copied from that. Only one or two things, know, to do with the according to Tibet or India. So otherwise otherwise, everything so so easy way of present easy way of present, let’s say. So I said, explain them more more the opposite of killing causing others long life.
You know, by causing others long life, people are human being people are animals supporting them because you are long life. It causes so that more explain the opposite. So that way helps to stop killing. It’s more explaining the bit as as possible. The opposite opposite negative action.
So explain the yeah. Opposite stealing, make charity. So how many in the in the life, how you can practice giving in so many different ways? Many different ways with human beings, with animals. How many you can do big parts of giving charity, so many different ways.
So the some some some of things just question of, you know, your your change your change change your mind. You see, in virtue. So that however sorry. This so this the minute so the minute the minute when they follow this, it’s like the minute when the the minute when they follow this, you know, this the divine dharma and this human dharma. The many of them follow this, their life is shaped.
Their life is shaped good because it stops all those other things that brings problem in the life. See? So the minute they follow it, they bring peace in their life. You know, they change, bring peace in their life, and it bring peace and happiness to to others, not to the family, to the world. You see?
It brings so much peace and happiness. So I think that so anyway so so this is something additional that last year, maybe last year, I think, edit this the original supply the plan, the different things what the different things to teach, you know. So all the first thing is good first thing is about good heart, so few books. Then The second one is the like and the Buddhist past, Buddhist life story and maybe for Islamic Dalai Lama and the the Buddhist supper, this this kitchen called Libin, who’s who has practiced the results. Anyway, from different from different tradition from different tradition that any great holy being like that, who is a great example of compassion and brought so much peace and happiness in the world.
So to learn, you know, their life story to performance, act to performance, teachers’ performance. And so they so hoping that they hoping that by learning this, that they gradually they will take these beings as a model, these great holy beings who brought so much peace and happiness to many millions of people, so to take them as a model so that they can become like that. To bring so much, you know, peace and happiness to the world, you see. Something so And third one third one is third one is this philosophy. So to to the understanding of the previous, like, why you, say, stop harm others, benefit others.
So to however, those philosophy behind so so for many philosophical text to choose like the truth or so to choose from many different subject that suitable and to say, like those early stage debate, those studies about learning about basic phenomena, the characteristics, you know, those basic learning basic philosophy and about logic, the mind, the mental factors. So I so the studying this is more like learning learning about the nature of the phenomena and analyzing how the AI is more like that, I see. Then maybe history of different history of different religion, maybe those that so different, you know, philosophies. University, so so it’s not just become one. So this is an advice.
So my worry is it. So that might be the just a maybe problem has is called universal education. Might address may address some problems. So it’s a advice that so like university, where I also introduce other religion, you know, so prosper. So this way, then become, say, guess, no problem.
So after that, then according to the according to the, you know, interest for the astrology, think things to things to help other people to solve their problems. So healing, you know, healing and exercise and the the, say, those things, human tension, and then I say, the Tibetan has in the astrological text. There’s some of the lama teachers. The I heard, but I haven’t seen the text. So anyway, the old the senior senior old lamas, some old people, old carpenters, built at from Tibet, I see.
All the people that who built many monasteries or they they have they have some explanation about they have some explanation about landscape and where to build a monastery, you know, which look which location you build good or which location you build, it will have it will have problems. And so there’s not particular there’s not particular sort of taught class or whatever. Know, you hear from the elder you hear from the elder ones. Just, you know, explain from our so just like that. There are some best things.
However, there’s also a test. For the the for the Feng Shui, it helps harmonies in the family and also prosperity, wealth, then the long life, health. And there are also some maybe there’s some things. I don’t know how much of the education, but there’s some things also a little bit of education to help the children from there. So this year, there’s many ways you can help for others to solve their problem.
Then this is nothing this is pretty but here, it’s nothing to do the mind, changing mind is just changing the environment is the decoration of the outside, the mountain or things that or things around the house or the facing towards the house or the kitchen and the bedroom, things like office, chair, things like that. But of but of course, ultimate function is dharma. Ultimate function is dharma. Purify need karma. They that you have cause of problems, obstacles they have overdone, purify, then you from that, you create you’re commit again the same need karma by leaving the valve.
So, okay, I said, practice and purification, collect and exercise. I think it relies on emptiness and develop bodhicitta. So this is the best. So it can liberate all things we don’t have to say. So they just they just give us some information about universal education subject.
This So so still working on the books. It’s a slowly, slowly, slowly and slowly and slowly. Yeah. So I’m gonna mention a little bit about prostration. Then I’ll stop there.
Another important another very, very important practice in our daily life to to make the life meaningful. And So as you as you’ve heard the the many hundred thousands prostration in the in the heritage and by the second type of this name, then Then, has great success in completing the realizations. She brings apart two stages of dhantra. That everyday drinks. One thousand prostration a day, something To remember which lama.
Who is embodiment Maitreya Buddha. Three three hundred this is not just a number of plain practice. It’s just everyday. Three hundred prostrations even though in the old age aspect. So so all of this, say, regarded regarded extremely important practice in their life.
So they say so just just putting palms just putting palms together like this. Whenever we see statue whenever we see we see tango or statue, we put that stripper. So the minute we put a palm to have like this, receives ten benefit. You create good karma to be born in the King’s family. In next slide, to be born in King’s family.
Then extensive then you have in the future lives, you get common, extensive surrounding people, where people who support you. Who support you, who help you, you know, according to your wishes. So that’s it. Then extensive form. So in next life, there’s a beautiful beautiful body, you know, perfect body.
Then extensive world. Then you’ll see extensive offerings and the service respect. Then extensive remembrance, Extensive listening, dharma, then concentration, extensive concentration, then extensive wisdom. My last one might be the the other. Extensive wisdom.
One maybe extensive realization or or maybe a devotion. Maybe extensive realization. So there are ten ten benefits. The minute when you put pink like this, you can start to stupa, skip to order. Like this, it’s getting benefits.
Then it’s benefit. And as I normally explain that, so next life next life you achieve perfect body perfect body. You see, senses, limbs, perfect limbs, you know, not deformed, and then beautiful body. Then create a cast, you know, put to a perfect surrounding. Perfect perfect surrounding or doing doing service helping.
Then third one, it creates it creates a good karma to to to be able able to live in morality. So that’s very important because that’s the basis of all. The next one, create good karma to to have devotion. Without without devotion, faith, then again, there’s no so that is the foundation, again, for realization, path to liberation, enlightenment, you see. So it’s very, very, very important.
Then courage, sub sublime, very hard courage to do things for others, to lead to to do things for others, see, for many people. Then next life, it’s it’s create good karma. Next life is to bond ever human bond devil human being. Then next slide, get born, say, you you achieve I said, devil human body. The next one to Kurkutama.
This one not necessary. Next slide. It can be also slide in there. Each of iron area as it is transcendent part of exalted part in the area part. The so less of a part, you know, the how’s it?
Writing part, part of meditation, normal learning. So this is a part. So by completing the less qualified part, by by achieving a hardship, then you you have overcome the cycle of death and rebirth. And then by achieving a minor part, the minor part of marriage and pebble part, the right hand part, when you achieve minor part, then you have completely abandoned. You’re completely free from this this suffering or saṃsāra, the rebirth, all age, sicknesses, and death.
So that bodhisattva who exercise and powder in that have completely abandoned this, do not experience. So that bodhisattva has spiritual guide to some body like us. But it’s a, you know, it transforms the spiritual guide. So so Mahāyāna, the tongue part, Mahāyāna is in part, part of the mentioned only. So in and the highest tongue, the higher part.
So there’s a actually, when we are counting the completion of the isolation of mind, the isolation of the the isolation of speech, isolation of the mind in the clear light. Then there’s clear light example and clear light meaning. So meaning so it causes to achieve meaning the higher part. So tell us a meaning, they become antidote to the disturbing part of observation. They removed, then it’s a pure illusive body.
So so there, if I think I think even when you achieve clear light, for example, then I think I think in times, I think if you achieve clear light, then you have overcome. You see, you have overcome the debt, I think. I think it might be. So no question is after you ship that. So like that.
So you you achieved the IR part, the number seven, then you get a good karma to achieve enlightenment number eight. So the minute when you put a palm like this to a picture there, even picture put down statues to bar, and then the whole object to see. So therefore so therefore So therefore, it is very, very important that very important in our house. If you have no other problems, other people, family members or other people, you know, do not like to have altar. I mean, pictures of Buddha or Tangalo or statues, There’s no problem of that.
So it’s very important to have many to have many whole object as possible at a home, inside the house, outside the house. Very important. So then one on one, for example, in the meditation room, shower room or something. However, when you enter in the temple, where there’s many helicopters or you’re on house with the mini or the meditation room. However, like the meditation room is if there’s the one that have been a whole object, you you have you keep many whole objects there in the Impossible.
Every time when you enter inside, put purse or put palm to her like this, you know, to to order holy objects. You don’t you don’t have to think that no, no, this one here, then this one is here, now this person there. You know, if it’s tiny picture, then but I’m person to all, the person to all the whole of the sort of this. Mind things present to all. You know, how many billions they are?
How many billions of stars with it? And print to all. So this so so this way you process to all. There you see. The amenity inter, I think, prostrate to all.
See. So the if it’s temple like that thing, prepuncture, you go around, you know, mantling, prostrating, you see. In the monasteries, are Large temples, they they combat so many holy objects, paintings, so many. So so if there’s a if there’s one hundred thousand, you know, painting of Buddha or statue, so even without prostrating, so you do like this when you come out, you see, if there’s one hundred thousand Peter Buddha, Peanut Butta or Stary Buddha, you created these added benefits one hundred thousand times. You created you already you already created when you come out, you see, you created the ten benefits like that, you receive one hundred thousand times.
So if there’s one billion statue or paint of Buddha inside, Gompa, that you got the eight benefits one billion times. You got this ten benefits one billion times. So there’s such easy so unbelievable easy to create good karma, you know, extensive cause of enlightenment. Cause of enlightenment. So so easy, you know.
You see? So all these result is what all these result, all these happiness is something that we need. You know, all these all these costs, what I explained just before the end, so important. So that so and also And also, even the books, even art books, where there’s many many pictures of Buddha. So when you’re while when you’re going through that, you will come together.
There are many. It’s one one page. See? And project also. Then if possible, you may have to say, may I become like there are many deities in in many.
Project. May I become like you? Let’s say, like the deity of the yogi. May I become like you? Let’s say, all the qualities, and Latinos, you know, able to assay, of our expense benefit also.
There’s a prayer that so this is very good to decide. When you see whenever you see May I say, oh, become like only you, glorified guru. You glorified guru. Say glorified guru. Say, like your holy body.
They like your, you like your lifespan, like your purulent, like your holy name. Like, example for example, Chenrezig. For example, Chenrezig is just by remembering Chenrezig name, a plant seed of enlightenment, a liberty from no realm. You see? So it’s it’s just remember name is incredible.
You see liberates from lower realm of sufferings and liberates from saṃsāra, all the oceans of saṃsāra, plant seed. And then by exercising part, it cost to exercise part, you see, you are able to free from the whole oceans of saṃsāra, just thinking of the generic name. So that is it. For example, somebody who’s dying, if you hear jealous name, you think of jealous name, impossible to see. So that so this so this plan.
Is there no? Yes. I’m sure. Okay. So okay.
So you put it together. So I was telling people, those art books like that. So you process like this, then you prepare the next page, you process, you know, make a path to to be like to to be like team. See, too, as we have some quality and benefit also. When you finish the article, we see, again, you have collected you have collected these added benefits so many times, ten benefits, so many times, you see.
At the end, made big differences before you before you before you went to the article, life before that, after that, before you came to Gumba, you know, after you before you came Gumba, life before you came Gumba, after you went out. That’s it. After a day. Even you don’t pro but just, you know, to all the whole thing. It makes huge it made it made huge difference.
Another one. There’s another one here. So you see. So one must understand one must understand not just live here, yeah, but must put in practice. One must understand.
So so easy how you can achieve enlightenment. You know, good say, practice Dharma. Mean, I say, made it to good karma to achieve happiness and the special realization. And this prayer I’m sorry, Rajeev. This prayer is in the dedication prayer section on page seven, and it’s number eight.
Then if you do the long prosthetic, if you do the whether you do five limb prosthetic or long prosthetic, full length of prosthetic, It is planned as with the perfect ten ten benefits. Perfect body in a golden color. Like Guru Shakyam Buddha. Okay. Beautiful, you know, third, very beautiful body and having beauty.
So you can put this way. For the beauty, it draws many it draws many sentient beings. It draws many sentient beings and they listen to you. So then then you find then you find a trick. I’m jogging.
I’m jogging. Then you’re to bring them to that. Then you’re able to bring them, you know, then they listen to you, they obey you. So then this way you can show them, you know, what’s the right thing to abandon right thing so right thing to practice, wrong thing to abandon in the karma. I mean, so you can you can the path what’s the right thing to practice, what’s the wrong thing to abandon and bring them to liberation to enlightenment.
So that’s the purpose of having. Why? I see the why it happened between body. So that’s many of those. So they have taken this aspect to see.
Then there is then the the fourth and fourth, very very sweet voice. Very sweet voice. Very sweet voice. So, again, that, you know, again, that draws many sentiments. Like those singers, you see, famous singers.
They they attract so many millions of people in the world to see the the good draws. So, see, that and then you’re able to benefit benefit so many sentient beings, you see, even even with that. So as with voice. Then able to I’m American. Able to come able to speak.
This is marathon. Marrower has to be speak, you see. Maybe able to communicate. You know? I think able to, I think, speak.
So I think able to maybe speak well. See? After that, then next one, The words that words that you say, I think the other people, they keep their they I said, they’re able to they keep their mind. Some of the I say, they’re able to they keep they’re able to keep their mind. They’re able they pay attention, you you know, to keep they they keep the words in their mind, you see.
Then no no no shyness. Then able to be able to be among many people to lead, like, some special, you know, among many people say they will lead or some lead or some benefit. Then all the deva human beings are happy with you. So if you want everyone to be happy with you, then it’s a lot of frustration. If you want all the devas, all the humans to be happy with you, to be happy for you.
To be happy, but with you? With you or for you? With you. With. With you.
And then you see yeah. Next one. And always and always a very glorified, manifested, like Dalai Lama. Like, Dalai Lama’s guru. He’s not linguistic.
Like that, you know, great masters like that. Very glorified, magnificent, physical, then always you accompany with the bodhisattvas, buddhas. I was company to be with Buddhas, Buddhist suppers. Then I have wealth. What’s that wealth?
Then this is the permanent. Have wealth. Is a higher, but then solid state, The question. Last one last one I added. Last one, I think I added to but it contains the the versus versus the liberation that contains no.
That’s mean liberation only from some side of this enlightened. So basically, I mean, the minute we need to procession, it can cause enlightenment to do this even that should be super. So and then last one, one achieved the state, you know, ceased all the mistakes and having all the qualities. One achieved state, having ceased all the mistakes and they should and having all the qualities. So that means enlightenment enlightenment.
But enlightenment is content already in the versus the liberation. But I just separate to also so about so they’re about so I don’t know. How many how many? So that well, the idea is ten benefits. The idea the idea is ten benefits.
Maybe some more there. Maybe more is better. So yeah. So, of course, the some other questions then. So what I need to repeat the motivation here.
So without separate without separate separating the few feet like this. That so keeping the feet together. So they say so the the keeping that. So here, oh, keep the yeah. Keeping the fingers in the inside.
So that’s also, know, often which kind of jewel. So that that. Don’t remember. It’s some pretty text split. It was just something looks like something normal thing, but I don’t remember which part of text is where.
So so now here, one Geshe explained this ten finger means ten virtue, you know, basically. It’s a call miss call, basic call to achieve happiness, future life, etcetera. So so here, this right hand, that that is the wisdom path path wisdom path. Left one is left. Sorry.
Right. The left one. Sorry. Here. If you’re not looking, it’s okay.
You were looking, you may be confused. So this one is the right hand signifies the wisdom. Left hand signifies the path of wisdom. Okay? And the right hand signifies the of method.
So this has been together. To achieve liberation from saṃsāra, you need to practice to, you see, corporately, this method of wisdom to achieve liberation from saṃsāra, you see. So whole path to liberation is in the past. Then the wisdom then the then the right the left one. So left one, the path of wisdom, the minor path is to achieve enlightenment.
The, you know, the wisdom realized emptiness. Okay. Great insight, you know, unified with this calm abiding, the one, and then great wisdom directly perceiving this, all that, the mannapad. Okay? Then you have the right and the mannapad method to achieve the true path cooperative practicing to achieve enlightenment with speech enlightenment.
Then also in high tantra, lower lower tantra, you know, the part not having sign, part having sign metaphysmal. In high tantra, the clear light, you know, because clear light, it is your body, and together the meditative stabilization, you know, I see. Then see. Clear light, it is your body. And afterwards, you know, unified in a way.
So the must be cheapened out quickly for symptoms. Okay? So here, the empty empty inside is a dharmakaya. You know? Dharmakāya is empty inside dharmakaya, and then the outside is the dharmakaya.
So the to so the part of method of wisdom, part of wisdom result, part method result, which is the So there’s a whole there’s a whole path to enlightenment in the mood like this. So this, you know, base the whole entire the subject of Buddhism, base to truth, the base to truth, conventional truth, convey absolute truth, conventional truth, then part of the wisdom, then the goal, So that’s what it contains that. What signifies that? So so somebody who tends to do path and ground all that and then see when you put like this, when you think of the meaning of this, it becomes sort like direct mentation of the whole path. That however, so you put so first you put on the head and that causes to achieve the causes that causes to achieve the pinnacle.
But there’s special, the science of Buddha’s holy body. Thirty two holy science. Eighty eighty holy exemplifications. One I got the recommendation. One means, you know, one single the I think one is in the past, having created such a similarity.
One is showing that why science like this, because Buddha has such a such a realization, qualities in realizations. So to signify that in this science, and I think maybe the that is holy sign. There might be that. I’m sure. I’m confused.
Showing that, you know, what realization Buddha has. Which one? It’s which yeah. One is I don’t know. One is is we see expression of the realization what Buddha has.
That might be a sign. I think so. And one picture, this example of that. You know, Buddha’s this way because in the past Buddha has a in the past, you know, one of Buddha was following the path. Then, you see, when Buddha was the trainer, you see, but then in a collective merit such and such that anyway, so so you need this pinnacle.
You need this, you know, all these special science, holy body, which has all these science examples. So the for the for sentient beings to benefit us, you need this this special science qualities of Buddhist holy body, you see. So I think I normally explain that in the doctors, when the when doctors, when they’re in the hospital, they have some dress, you know, children doctor. Right? The white this white one.
What’s the ties? The ties, don’t have a white long thing. You know? Anyway, so the armies, they have this armies, they have this here. How many people killed?
Anyway, you know, anyway, you know, in the world, say, conquered. So so they get more patches here. So it kind of shows signification of what the person is. So here is Buddhist sign, you see the the special sign. So we see that showing those qualities.
So for benefit of certain levels, certain the sentient beings, let’s say, those who have, you know, more pure mind able to so they need this to benefit for them so that the new Buddhist and I like this Buddhist suburb, those new Buddhist suburb who will complete part of marriage, you know, get part of marriage, you know, with that. So so so you need to to say so the hair frustrating, it causes it causes to itch achieve the. Then here, it causes to achieve the holy sign here. The white hair is curled from left to right. And I think this this is the axon which is this size.
You pull out, then you let go, it goes back and stays curled. White one. So So so so white. So so you need to to get the to achieve this quality, you need to envelope under the merit. It’s mentioned it is mentioned the elevation palm, how much merit you need to collect.
So this personally creates cause of due to that. Then, however, these two it’s across each of the quality of the body here, and and also purify all the need comes quality the body. Then here, a cause to each of Buddha’s purifying karmas for speech, cause to correct let’s see. To achieve the Buddha’s holy speech. Same.
But this holy spirit or qualities of this holy all the qualities of this holy spirit. Then here, purified mind, then it comes to mind. The department, correct mind, and cost which is there. This mind, you know, the qualities So that so so now the meditation. So when you put here I mentioned I mentioned in the past that how many whole objects how many whole object there are.
You see? So you see? Yes. Prostring. Guru, you know, thing guru manifesting all this.
Then here, this this is manifesting all guru. You know? I mentioned that also in that past. Then That that that I say, that’s also very effective, you know, to become the of practice. But Then I think the other way, while you’re doing this, you think, I’m frustrating to all the I’m frustrating to all the tenets of the Dharma sangha.
This isn’t good. Then I’m prostrating towards all the statutes of the scriptures, all the whole objects. It’s good. Then I hear the same. I’m prostrating towards all the ten days of the dharma, sangha, you know, guru.
And then here, I’m prostrating towards all the ten days of statues, all the other objects. School. So this way so this way, we have prostrate. We have prostrate. Not only not only holocaust and komba.
Not only not only only the, say, what you have visualized You know, there’s only certain number there. But here, you have prostrated to everything. So, you know, you prostrated all the numbers Buddha, number Dhamma, number Sangha. Okay? Then numbers such as the rest of the whole of this, so two times.
So this way already that added benefits, ten benefits I mentioned before, done numbers times, done number of times done number of times some I said the number of times like credit number of times, you know, see that, you know, many even that even that many times Buddhist numbers Buddha, number of that. Then number of statues to skip to the other ones. So numbers made a crack up so many times already. Anything here? So you can so when you think holo object, then you can you can look at all the hololum sets in the combined.
If I assume you’re processing it, then all the rest, then all the rest. Numbers start to distribute all the numbers. Then as a when you let up when you you when you let down when you start to lay down, think, I’m prostrating to to say a numberless Buddhism, Sangha, and the statutes of scriptures. So Buddhahushkuru. So as you start to let down things then.
So when you when you put your when you put your forehead on the ground, so prostrate to the z, prostrate to all. So here, you’re not just prostrate in one from Tattabhu Buddha, just one, not that. Here, you I mean, you see that. Here you have done prostration too. Nothing left.
No whole object is left that you have in prostrate. No one is left. No one is left that you have in prostrate. You know? There’s no one single statue is left without that without prostrate, without collecting merit from that.
So any statue, a picture of Buddha, any holy places, any country, any holy place, in any shop, in any shop to sell, in a cha cha, anybody’s house, you have a prostrate already. So you do that. So you collect a merit. You collect a merit cause of enlightenment, the person’s happiness, speech life, you see. All those from each of those from each of those chatsas in anybody’s house, any, let’s say, any any place, it’s statue, picture, anybody house, in any shop, you have taken the essence.
Okay. Here we are. Each of them made it, the credit card it, credit card of enlightenment and all the other less. So yeah, since you started the I’m proceeding to all the numbers to all the to all the to the numbers of numbers of Buddhamma Sangha or you can say that or ten direction of the Dhamma Sangha and statutes to the scripture of all the holums of the guru. So when you put your finger to all, see.
Then when you then when you start to then right after that, then right after as right after that, then you would like to this is what Je Tsongkhapakhov explained. How to make a prostration to collect most to collect most merit. Already in a project, one Buddha is the merit is unimaginable. But here, Ramathum have explained how to make it in order to collect most extensive medicine. So that time is this that either you have bought it in easy one is in deity, like one thousand nm.
If you have received initiation of that, let me say, however, one thousand nm. So there, we usually visualize a large cover of ground. See? So right at that then, nonetheless, you you have subjanice thousand arm covered covered from here, covered from covered from covered from this direction, that direction, and then that direction. The four directions of corners completely covered the ground, the process, you know, laid down towards the towards the you’re not old, let’s say, the visualized many fold.
However, here, process to the all time. So this laid down, See, like a region mountain here, numbers cover the whole ground for the four directions. From here from here, the corners to to the major to the as the whole of just to see. So that if there’s nothing there’s no if there’s no physical whole object and physical group is a medical field and, you know, yeah, group of medical field or in that, then prostrate. If there’s a whole object there, you know, like this, then we can do all that.
So it’s not that. Or you can go to your. So this way so so when you lay down, you approach to everyone, not just one Buddha, one Buddha. But here now so as I meant as I mentioned before, numberless cause of enlightenment, liberation happening with the legacy you create with each statue with each stupa statue, scripture like that. So then that like that number of times, like that you see many times.
But number of times like that many times. Then your body, say, so in the teachings explained by Pavonga. So in the Lambertian, if you visualize if you visualize if you one body, one one one body during procession, with extra body, if you visualize one more body, then you collect you collect same amount of merit this actual body collect by the manifestation. So as as you have already heard, so when you’re so when you’re laying down, when you’re laying when you’re laying down, it is, you see, one on one atom, then you collectively made it to be born as Wilton King one thousand life times. So will turn the king is in the the the world, two will turn the king doesn’t happen, like two Buddha doesn’t descend, only one Buddha who shows twelve deeds, you know, liberating this world.
Two two together doesn’t happen. So same thing, the world turned king too does not happen. So only a so there is the king that nobody can compare is the most wealth and power and everything. So yeah. So yeah.
And that will in this whole entire not just one country, the whole entire. To be born one like that, you have to collect many inconceivable numbers of many to collect, you have to collect. So therefore, here, you’re correct. If there’s one atom, your body cover, you’re correct, merit to a bond is will turn the king one thousand times. So therefore, from here down to bottom of earth, there are number of atoms that you bought a cover is from here down to the bottom of earth.
So that many see, how many atoms there then there are many lifetimes to burn as will turning king, thousand lifetimes, you see. You could have not done any atoms. Mhmm. So that doesn’t mean you have to burn as will turning king. But you it’s Buddha’s giving an Buddha’s giving you doesn’t mean you are prismed in a will turn king, you know, rebirth, but you’re prostration.
And you can’t come out. Not that. But Buddha’s Buddha’s explaining giving this Buddha’s using this example, to get an idea of how much merit will collect. But of course, dedicated at the end of the chip might be something meaningful, depending on where we’re dedicated, the merit cost that. So now here, you visualize.
So therefore here is they’ve now they’re here. It’s amazing. I’m not making that kind of amazing. So so I say normally. So I say, somebody whose body is very tall, I say, you’re very lucky because if you do one procession, how much made you flat?
I have to two times. I have I have to process two times. You know? But my brother is short, so I have two times to cover how much money you collect, you know, the tall body, person with tall body. See?
So especially those who have tall body, that’s a gift from your past life. Anybody with a tall body is gift especially gift from past life. You know? But so you should thank your past life. Anyway, so you see so therefore, you have there’s one body you have visualized demonstration.
So that body, your visual body collects same amount of merit as your actual body collect merit. So now here, so that’s what I explained in the in the sūtra. So therefore, in the explains how to make process in most extent to have the most extensive merit. So visualize numbers of your your your self. You visualize this body in the procession, you see, cover the whole ground.
So now with this one with this one body, and process one process, can imagine how much. So now so now you visualize it, you know, your body cover the whole ground. You see, from. So you can see So this is a lot of time. You see, it gives you expanded visualization on your cross station.
So and I don’t think So the hearer, mainly by explaining the meditation so that how how one procession to make it to means to collect the you see, what what you can collect most may stress may be in such short time. So a numberless cause for enlightenment, liberation, but saṃsāra, happiness, you know, like that. Like that. Numbers were like that so many times to collect with one prostration. So you know that.
So So the as far as preliminary practices, the as a as a merit collector and how much you purify the karma. Preliminary practice practice is for that, to purify the karma to form as a matter fact married. So it’s how much is done is a In reality, how much you succeed purifying the karma, correction is transmitted. So it depends on the quality. And doesn’t does so it doesn’t depend so much number.
It’s a man dependent on quality to to do to do well. So that and the so the other thing that I think not so much I think not so much here, these these mistakes, you know. I think everybody doing well. Sometimes, say it happened when I lay down, sometimes it become longer, so that shouldn’t be done. During the meditation, sometimes become longer.
So, you know, it’s it’s called it’s said rising up from saṃsāra. It’s said to to get up the to you. So do not do not keep long time. I fall asleep. Anyway, so anyway, do not keep do not keep long time there.
So the great mentor, he he thought that by going arms going around like that, you know, arms around like that, when you that will collect more merit, which will cover in my atoms. And then also, the feet. So normally I say, if the feet, you know, if you feet, you keep like this, then you lose so much merit, you know. So better to keep your feet flat, cover the ground. Make your feet flat like this.
You know? So then it covers just that and covers, you know, a possible number of atoms from here to the bottom, especially if it is long and you have long nails. You know? For here, it is so here during prostration here when when you do prostration, then one great benefit that to have long hair, long nails. I think when you do prostration, then the hair, how much hair can cover it down quite unbelievable.
You know, so some some of the atom from here down to bottom and also nail, you see. So even one even one even half inch nails are covered from here down the bottom of it. So many atom covers it. So and the for this. And the I thought that wearing this watch will also help to collect more merit because there’s so many atoms here.
You know? So so when we do preliminary practice, when you do many preliminary, if possible, some high mountain. Is it because you know, mountain is such easy way to collect the expense merit. So main point of process is to collect merit and to do a higher mountain, higher, let’s say, altitude of high mountain high mountain. Make big difference in the city and the mountain.
I mean, this is just generally expressing the the benefits, you see. So I should think in that when it’s all gone back, that behind the mountain is higher. So I was thinking proceeding up there is more merit than in the room, you see. And also, I see. Also, in the hotels that because paid a lot of money to stay in hotels.
So I think so I feel kind of a loss if you didn’t do prostration, you know, didn’t take advantage, you see, on this large bed, on this very large bed in hotel, you see, where you can do where you can prostrate, you can prostrate this world, that way. Anyway, you can roll. So or you can ski on that ski. Yeah. I’m sorry.
So yeah. So during prostracency, on the bed, it’s such a large bed. So, you know, see, then then feel come then feel happy, comfortable with how much you spend money it it fulfilled. It fulfilled, you see. Or how much other people spend money.
So anyway, so I think I think it’s about that. So the other instructions that I think here you here you are able to notice, I think. So you don’t spread your fingers like that. It was a cause to burn like those animals, the ducks, one of that. Having, you know or this like that then.
Okay. Disrespect. Why? There there may be a disrespect. So the causes to be born The animals who have hoop hoops, you know, is that body when you prostrate, the body should keep and the web as I stand up straight, then as I stand up, then the process is not not border keeping like this.
Border keeping, you know, get up, you know, keeping like this. So then man should be born as how do they worms that goes like that or the I think that probably I mentioned that, but I think what the text mentions is like pigs or the how the camel or the animals has a backside round. You know, camels or animals with animals who has bought a backside round, I’d like to say. It’s kind of a disrespect. So that’s not that’s not a problem.
You know? I think so much. It’s a I think I think that’s kind of things maybe more in the east. There there are more mistakes in the eastern process. Do to keep the body down to it.
Like this, you know, very quickly. Keep not kicking up, but then then it’s kind of so it’s a big habit. It’s become it’s become a kind of habit like that. I think oh, this is certain. So that’s maintain on ceiling of the emptiness, the subject.
First of all, everything purified, then again, see the increase, the creator and the action creating the karma and the next karma Then we have another at the end doing this becomes the same thing with a bunch of other people in practice. And then then what is that for that? In the house of all the family members of us here and the honest people who are doing service here, the course and in the world’s heart and as well as in the hearts of all the sentient beings, in the hearts of all the student benefactors in the organization and those who give out the life owners to service personnel similar in all their hearts that we have. Second, the Buddhism is generated in the hearts of, as of as the once in the house of everyone in this world, Then even more important is the urgency is a Buddhist that we generate in the house of all the leaders of all the countries and in the house of terrorists and other people causing so much violence. Others.
Tichenomboda, same as Salamatronghaba, by having the same quality with me as Salamatronghaba has from now on in all my future lifetimes. To get it done or not. Due to the masses three times guided by me, Buddha’s, bodhisattvas, all other sentient beings. Wherever I am, whatever universe, world, country, area, or place, and my being there, may the sentient beings who are in that universe, world, country, area or place, never be reborn in the lower realms. May they immediately be liberated from all disease, spread harm, negative calm, defilements.
And may they achieve enlightenment quickly by anchoanizing the whole path, especially bodhicitta. May it immediately cause to stop all wars, famine, sickness, natural disasters. And may may these things never experience again. And may I also become wish fulfilling for all sentient beings, able to fulfill all their wishes according to the dharma. And these are the past, that which exists towards the main level of our mind, which doesn’t exist what’s appeared to us, not main level of our mind, Little one independent, and there was a total number of total that which is totally nonexistent, empty.
Well, I, who insist this work was merely part of mind, who doesn’t exist, who’s appeared to understand mind, not merely a part of mind, a real one, independent, existing from the side, which is totally non existent. Lead authors and their beings who exist, who are who are merely able to mind, but who do not exist, who do not appear to our heart and mind, not merely able to mind, the independent existence from the side was a total non existent entity and reality. To that, empty and the the eyes empty. But there was enlightenment, which exists what’s merely labeled by mind. What doesn’t it is what appear to our mind, not mainly the mind, real one independent existing from the side.
And the same thing is why I’m taking them side to that which does which is empty from the side. By myself alone who this is is merely labeled by mind, do not exist as the world was appeared to our hearts in the mind, not merely labeled by mind. They are a real one independent and system of science. In reality, it’s totally nonexistent empty. Provide all the support for our financial help to all the projects and to all the centers without labor and second and without an obstacle.
Now the general is spreading all the drugs, people are spreading this world. But complete, that’s what was happening. All of us here in the organization are here. And then, of course, they’re in the hearts of everyone, all the students and benefit persons of the organization, those people of their life, also their social and everything in everyone’s heart. This will a lifetime.
Complete exercise in this very lifetime. Everyone in everyone’s heart. I’ll have to let him a second. Also, I listen from Melbourne. She sent letter that I’m requesting to pray for our mother who died recently.
Let me see. Let’s her that. We’ve got a list, actually. We’ve got a list. What?
We’ve got a list of people Oh. Who want prayer. Can I just say the names? No. Can I just say the names?

So Liz Edmonds, mentally ill, Dermot Redmond, Parkinson, dementia. Cameron Hall, Ronnie Brown, Debbie Jones, Elizabeth Playford. We keep all our merits, all past, present, which are made. We give it to him. This month, I don’t know anyone whose name is mentioned there, but passed away and also also was sick.
So may all those with names mentioned here was passed already. Then are numerous beings or numerous beings who are always born in the lower realm suffering and now they’re helping some of those animals in the intimacy of the world. On the way to lower realm, they made immediately a little bit more of those animals from all those unimaginable suffering and and they may be reincarnated in the pure land where they’re giving enlightened. Or maybe it’s a perfect human body and maybe it’s actually enlightenment by meeting public health, finding the teaching and teaching into putting into practice. And those the older medicine, they were quite complicated by giving to them, and also I do that.
And they’re all. Okay. And they also submit medicine. And for those people and then say, whatever whatever is the most beneficial for them, whatever is the best for them to happen that. So they what is the best for them?
Well, that happens, you see, Best to happen that as a quick as quick possible. For their happiness, what is best? How to happen that? The passing way to about pure land, we think of enlightened the same, or receive perfect in the body, by metaphysical of a man group, and this is the same as possible. Hospital.
And those yeah. Those are the best and those who are, you know, survive, most beneficial, then happen that way. Whatever the best for them, most beneficial. Immediately cover all their signatures. Have long life, but I mean, I have a random realization, but that where is that?
The medicine. I think all they need to have us complete purified there. So for passwords Yeah. Then also, everyone over there. All the disease needs to be harmed.
And last place name, Temurula, it’s made one hundred times and all the plan, whatever we do brings success. Under the presence of the, may all my people ask that they do the terrible defense. Good night. So first of all, can the sangha please stay back so we can do the protective prayers quickly? It’s important.
Then secondly, it would be very good. We only have four days left. It’d be very good to take precepts tomorrow. And last night, there was it was kind of it was a little bit more maybe against, but a lot of people abstaining. So we took the not doing it.
So tonight, can we go for it? Just go for it. So what do you think? Do you wanna do six or six thirty? Six o’clock was that?
Six thirty. Okay. So six thirty tomorrow morning. We’ll be taking precepts. Okay?
See you well.
