00:00 I did mention last week this evening will be devoted for discussions and questions particularly if you have any questions regarding the evil (Tibetian?) or the principal part or daily life (Tibetian?), whatever it may be.

00:45 One thing I would like to emphasize: the teaching of the Buddha is actually nothing but that of handling our daily life, how you handle, how you do. Whatever you make it is sophisticated(?), confiscated(?), philosophical, or make it simple, practical. Whatever you do, the main purpose of it: to benefit the individual.

01:28 How in a way you can benefit is how in a way you can set. You can set our life, our approach to life, our approach to daily deals with the people, and that is the bottom line. Whether you deal with, whether you come to how you deal, in a sophisticated(?) way, or a philosophical way or in the simple way, this is up to the individual.

01:58 Whether you give it a big name, call it Myeyana(Tibetian), or you give it a (?) name (Tibetian), whatever the colour you put on, the purpose is to vet. So whether you’re doing this is to check, to vet. Putting up every time different colours every day to put on the fifth coat on neck.

02:30 So whether you put on four or five coats, whatever you do, The whole purpose is to look nice, give good atmosphere. So whatever it is, you do that. the same thing in the (?). Whatever you put it, Whatever way you do, simple, easy, or difficult, complicated, philosophical way, the purpose is to affect individual. That’s the whole thing.

0:02:55 So if it’s daily life, what you deal, how you think, how you approach life. Basically, No matter whoever say what, The bottom line is what does the spiritual practice of Buddhism: to help the individual is to put into life, to make it more positive, more virtuous.

03:15 I’m sorry to use that heavy duty language, but If there’s no positive… Some people may have difficulty if I don’t use ‘virtuous’. ‘Positive’ alone may have problems. But if I use virtuous, someone may have a problem.

03:30 But the reality is to make it better karma, to have better karma, to overcome negative karma, to make positive karma. And how to make positive karma is totally depend on the individual, how you deal with it. And that is the bottom line. No third person, no god come down and change your karma. In Buddhism they don’t.

04:05 No angels will land and change your karma. No mystical thing appears and all of suddenly it ticks…no, It is a grounded very grounded it is really grounded systematic work. And so the total bottom line is depends on karma. So when you approach to the karma, it’s karma you created, right? Nobody else did it. Nobody else created karma and said, “Hey, you’re right. This's your sad(?). That’s your sad(?).” Nobody does that. If you do that, it’s a third creator. In Buddhism they don’t.

04:50 So it is you or you are responsible to yourself. That is Buddhist principle. If you’re responsible to yourself, how you become responsible to yourself, in a karmic way, and how you create karma is every day or life what you do. And that is what is creating karma. When you set up certain atmosphere like temple, monastery, or centre, or someplace where you burn a couple of different incense, bead a couple of different gowns, different fun gowns. If you’re good and you’re not going to create negativity in there. That’s atmosphere.

05:28 But the problem is not that. The problem is when you go outside, dealing with daily life outside and there you comes the problem there’s anger comes up says “Hey, I’m still alive.” and there is attachment comes up “hey don’t you know me?” Jealousy “hey I’m not forgotting you”. All these sort of things there and that’s our problem. So our really dealing is that and there you create the karma, all the karma. So that’s why is the Four Noble Truth is so important. How one created the difficulty and how one created positive that what you call it arhat level nirvana how it’s created and how we created samsara and negativity how you create it and then the question comes can you reverse it can you cut it can you change it? The answer is Yes. you can reverse. You can change. You did it and then Buddha says I can do it why can’t you do it? Can it? So true reverse is actually the positive and negative how one create other and so how you reverse that? That is if you make it detail the Four Noble Truth may be bigger the twelve links of the twelve links of interdependent relationship how that you know one create this and another create that.

7:07 so that’s going forward and backward. Simple as that. That is basic principle. So total …..lie in there. Total project lies in that. right? I mean you have to be underground. There are not denying the mystical thing. But it’s not going to be changed like this. And no way. Even Buddha...comes down with this terrifying detail and wonderful digit comes out and become change it. So if the changing has to be done. This terrible individual who called I who demeaning there all the time that is the problem. They don’t have problem.enlightened beings they don’t have problem. The problem is here so if you could change it by coming down they will be there changing all the time you’ll be done by now you won’t be here. so anyway that is the basic talk of basic idea of …. You say mandala you meditate whatever you do that’s that. Ok? So On that basis if you have any questions, doesn’t have to be in order, don’t feel bad about it cause there's a number people around so if I ask these questions am I making myself a fool? No, don’t worry. If you’re all knowledge all knowing you shouldn’t be here. Nor that I have an answer but we can share it and talk together and think about it. So any questions? So we are totally devoted for questions and answers today. Anything? Whatever you think say it

9:12 …..supplemental reading dharma material…. We do have some kind of reading list somewhere. Some people work out, right? Some people did work that reading list available but what you want it you know Buddhism is such an interesting thing. you can be very philosophical right deep really deep extremely great philosophical thing in there. you can be wonderful scholar you can be great scholar knowing everything that’s also there. you can be very learned master you can also be there. You have a very simple little project make it total difference and that also there. you know if you look into Buddhism, if you look into Buddhism, there’s a tremendous amount of subject like gone beyond, like …..type of gone beyond, gone beyond so …. Or Transcendental wisdom we call it right. all of them dealing with gone beyond. It’s called gone beyond. Then there is the rules of the discipline rule called vinaya how what can you do what you can not do and we call it ….. which means tamed. …..actually the vinaya rule discipline is tied to trained individual and make it tamed…... asked the question. What is this gone beyond? What is this the tame business not this well behaved business….(Tibetan)

12:10 did you hear that? Meaning I do not know what is gone beyond this way or that way. I do not know. But if you gone from wherever way you are gone the other side so you really gone beyond. I do not know whether it is this rule and that rule but if you controlled well behaved the wild mind been tamed then it is the vinaya. that is ….simple…..Did you get me? No, you didn’t. So another word is the whole idea is for one individual to have a perfect project which is not missing a step. The step is easily followed making sure that project leads the individual to a total enlightenment. OK? So when you have that and that is perfect projects. For that you need information. You need teaching. You need reading. Picking of so many books so many things I hear, so many things I dare, is a great thing to do but not absolutely necessary. What you really need is a perfect well laid out apart information. When you can sit down, you can think. You can even overview or you can visualize, overview, meditate from the ordinary level to there where we are to the extra ordinary Buddha level. If that is in order? What’s that? Either when you work with five part…...whatever it is. But if you have a perfect step see still number one still number two still number three still number four still number five when I get there I become a buddha. When you have that, and you’re controlled, a symbol maybe when you have that you have perfect. If you don’t have that then you need to build that up. whatever the reading material of supplementary or textbook or whatever it is that’s what you need. For that you have to ask people. For that you have to find your way out. For that you have to read. For that you have to listen. For that you have to learn. That’s what you build it the whole purpose of listening the project is to build that up once you’ve been built that up, the listening and learning is not that important but whatever you learned is meditate becoming part of life. That is important. OK?

15:28 so buddhism as a rule for become a big scholar philosophical thing there is a room ….and buddhism also have a room for simple practitioner perfect to be able to get enlightenment. There’s both rooms there. You are the one who have to choose which one you want to be. OK?…(question) …..

16:51 I don’t know. Depend on the individual. Some people can’t understand. Tanzara I would not recommend to read. Tanzara has its own little business, its own little rule, its own little system without which if you read it, it doesn’t make sense. A, B is very attractive called it attachment transform as project so you probably think I can make a great love still become dharma and all these. I don’t think it is there. It is very long way in some level somewhere maybe happening so it’s not, I will not recommend people to read Tanzara right from the beginning. At least until you really know what you’re doing, what you’re reading? What is all about it? Until then, I don’t want you to read it. But you never know people can do it. it’s freedom. Nobody can you can not read it. They can read whatever they want to. They can watch whatever they want to, right? They can do whatever they want to. But at the same time, it’s not what I recommend. Tanzara but besides that you can read. Tanzara you know why it’s not recommended? Unless until you really know what you’re doing it otherwise it can be ...and that’s why it is not recommended. You don’t want to give a supersonic jet to a high school and say hey fly this, do you? Probably not. ……(question)

20:28 It's a very important question, a very interesting question. I don’t have a answer…. I do. I don’t really have an answer but I think what happening is if you have the basi.. ... lay out. so much systematic gonna work with individual like a precious human life. for example if people don’t have a good grounded precious of human life the impermanent thereafter make a lesser sense then there are really a good sense the precious of human life if you don’t vale the human life what you have. if you do not appreciate even you lose that not a big deal you get another one. You know what I mean? So that’s why it is so important to work impermanence with you. you have to recognize and realize the preciousness of little life. If you don’t recognize and realize the preciousness of little life even you lose what you get a gun and shoot yourself so what not a big deal I get out another life I was told at least. so that will not happen if you realize the preciousness of life.

22:32 at the same time love compassion will give and take only. Without realizing without recognizing, the sufferings that people have without recognizing the sufferings have a way out. if you keep on taking, you keep on taking, as some as good as buying a sandwich giving money or giving a sandwich and taking money. It is same as that. It is exchanging of something. But when you recognize the suffering when you recognize there’s a way out and then you've been give and take. It makes sense.

23:32 So all those seems to be important to me I just make the simple way rather sarcastic.way saying give and take buying a sandwich. giving sandwich and taking money or giving money and taking sandwich. I did this sort of sarcastic way purposely in order to make sure that give and take is another symbol of exchange. And it has meaning behind the meaning is what you exchanging is suffering and the way out.

24:20 actually do you particularly change suffering and the way out? No, you don’t. But what you do is you change the way you show the way and letting other people to follow the way out. And that is give and take. That is exchange. That is basic forming you may visualize you’re not ….take all your ...out. everybody is happy taking in making some collecting all the suffering in deserving another load empty whatever you visualizing. That’s your visualization. that is the medium which you’re using, that is the medium what you’re using, actually what you exchanging is suffering and the way out. And the title to give you way out to others and you are exercising yourself and the title to find the way out by exchanging it. So what you really exchanging is not within you ...simply giving and taking, changing of bread positive negative around is buying sandwich selling sandwich. As good as that. so has to be better than that, right?

25:54 it has to be better than buying a sandwich or giving a money or taking a money and giving a sandwich. And that’s why the grounding is important. But then on the other hand it doesn’t have to be liberate lay out steps the simple steps like basic step like…….a very simple easy we’re not have to go so detail human life …….maybe not but basically grounded understanding of value of human life and appreciating of it. if you do not appreciate this life it is terrible. You have to appreciate that. You have to. You have to.…..You don’t have to. But It is the reality. The quality of this life searching another looking at cats, dogs, tigers, lions, birds, that’s what you see here. The elephants, they don’t have it, do they? No, they don’t. If a monkey is cold he’ll say…..if a monkey is hot he will simply say…. But If a donkey is angry, he’ll say……if a donkey is cold he’ll say …….they don’t have the power of communication and even they have some communication but they don’t have the power enough to understand the way out. of course people will tell you the animals are intelligent so are the dogs. I totally agree but they will not understand dharma. they will not be genius scientists. They are…. that’s the quality of this life whether we have that.

28:35 ….so the human life is valuable. It has tremendous value. It is because intelligence no matter how great science scientist is very great everybody will agree nobody will deny that is the human ...no matter how much you make it you still can not duplicate human beings in that level computer may be great but not so much as human mind is and that's the life what you have if you do not appreciate that, that shows absolutely stupidity. Traditional Tibetan masters will give you an example saying that there is a foolish guy who couldn’t get any food. he’s hungry but what he had a bag full of gold dust and there's a hole on the bag he carry it around looking for food and the gold dust is going and one day the bag is going to be emptied still the guy is not going to find the food. That is an example of foolish. The same thing we do. If you do not recognize human value and still looking for something else, right? Some perfect prince charming, or something perfect life, or something perfect whatever, you’ll never gonna find it. What you have is you have prince charming is with you or you call it princess charming but sleeping beauty is within us, prince charming is within us, the perfect ideal person is within us, we don’t recognize. We’re looking for something else.

31:05 First Dalai Lama said …(Tibetan) your speakers set at east side. You’re sending all dharma words to the west side. That’s useless. That’s the same thing. the perfect thing is within ourselves but don’t appreciate that will looking for someone outside. That’s the problem. The ideal person companion is with you. You don’t appreciate it. You ignore that quality. Tell them you’re stupid. You’re terrible. You’re brilliant. You’re hopeless. You’re useless. And then you’re looking for something else. That’s it. But then you overlook if you spend too much time looking ….so the orders are important because it will affect individual differently. But if you do this now don’t learn before without realizing the suffering, without realizing the way out, and what you really exchanging is sandwich and two dollars? But if you really realize suffering and the way out then you’re only very loney.so that’s why the order some kind of order is very important. Traditional teaching will tell you you have to recognize the part. you have to have the orders are perfect. you have to follow that may be little too conservative but you really have to have to make it sense to you.

33:14 That’s why some orders are important. But then you can’t make the orders by yourself. I like to pick up ...first then put it here. then I like to pick up impermanence ….. you can’t do that. Why? Because that’s not going to affect individual. To hear is to affect the individual to make mind you one thing. The Buddhism is not here to make you feel good. Buddhism is not here to make you feel better. The Buddhism is here to really make a difference in your life. So sometimes it is hard, sometimes it is difficult, sometimes it repeats, never perfect. But totally in total picture, it will make a difference in your life. Not then necessarily to make you feel good. No, sometimes they are there to make you miserable. Ya, true. Sometimes they make you feel so great. Now for example, impermanent if you have a lot of impermanent, can it really make you feel bad? If you do not appreciate the life. Appreciation of the life will balance the going down at impermanence level, particularly death and dying of so many people to calm the friends that are gone and calm friend that are going so looking in that very miserable but that would balance by appreciation of the life. It is balance way of doing. If you don’t have that then you feel miserable.

35:20 That’s what it is. That's a simple example. Does it make sense or not? …(Question) the individual person’s duty is your brief some kind of very brief steps individual people has to make sure you understand that whatever it takes you know like the use of group of project you have appreciation of life impermanent…. suffering….. each one of those steps very simple four five steps so making sure you have the gift of it. I’m now mean it because scholar but has the gist of it essence of it. if you don’t get it read it. If you don’t get it, ask somebody else. The whole sangha for that. And if you don’t, it is your problem. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you have to ask. I don’t know what I’m doing. Can you tell me something better? There are other people should also know mislead people. If you know it, you should say I think I know it. This is that. If you don’t know, I don’t know either. I like to ask some questions another person. That’s why we’re all here for that. That’s what you got to do. So everybody is expected to have some kind of consigned step which has basic understanding of what it is how to tender them within the individual. That is the first step. If you don’t get it if you don’t get it then you have to ask questions. And make it a perfect part for yourself, by yourself, for your own benefit, right by you, to knowledge by yourself, receive by yourself, for your own benefit. You got to do that. When you have that, you have projects. When you don’t have that , you don’t have projects even you mandala to say or southerner to say you don’t have it really perfect fact.

38:21 like a foundation of perfection take that and take all that layers out and get a gist of every four what you call those and reverse some of them foundation perfection short but it really doesn’t sometimes one verse gives two three in there maybe you take it maybe you take it short as …. as Tsongkhapa forget about those I bow Buddha I bow great don’t say but after that I write these orders I forgot it but after this the whole thing comes every verse what you get once you get gist out that. so once you have that you have basic foundation then whatever you read it you can put up any extra information or comes in it’s been helpful . otherwise no matter how many information come nice nice make sense good good but it’s like wind blowing to the individual. it comes a little bit then it goes away. You know what I mean? That’s why the traditional teacher will tell you if you have basis you have find a handful of salt you can put in a salt container. If you find handful of tea, put in tea container. If you don’t have it, you mix salt and tea and all these sugar and everything it will not work. You know that example? that’s what I’m talking about.

39:55 so what you do is take it apart of this some kind of short ...Pick up every verse. Make a gist of yourself, a container for yourself. That is your perfect part whatever you’re missing and you reach, you find out , build by yourself. That you have to write; you have to build; you have to meditate; you have to announce; you have to pronounce; you have to receive; you have to digest. That’s what it is. If you have missing you have to build in between. That’s called limerence. That is limerence.

40:49 doesn;t have to be full. first you have to have a full ….. container within you. Feeling don’t worry about it but you have the basic gist and that will do. The feeling will make you richer, and better, and more choosy, but what you really need is basic hoping when you have that. You have that.when you don’t have that, you’re missing steps. That’s what it meant. Ok we know it might. Say it. Whatever. That’s what I’m talking about even one point if you take a year, a month, a year, don’t worry about it. Get it. that’s what it meant really. I’m sorry it’s been very technical for those who come for the first time probably wondering what’s going on, but we are at the end of something. That’s why. we are at the end of something.

42:32 ….do you have all those steps that mentioned in that short limerence what we teach the limerence every verse do you have every step within you. If you have that you’ll have basic understanding. Don’t forget about perfect understanding. What is the most important is not have a wrong understanding. It is more important. OK? That’s how you look. You really read the verse and then see within yourself. The essence of that verse do I have that? If you don't have that you can’t find it. Or do you want us to do some kind of chart like a staircase A B C D E F G then go on that we could do that prabally very useful.

44:27 that’s a secondary question really true. When you don’t realize, when you’re not sure, which is you which is own probably you’re not on anything. That is you probably crawling up and down but that is secondary. The first is begin the most important particular people would like to do something doesn’t even know where to begin ot starting for them to have the steps probably make them very useful it will be good sangha contribution if you want, take it.

45:18 (question) i think probably follow Tsongkhapa shot ….there’s foundation perfection lot of crispness …………

47:15you put it different way. this question how it sound to me the question sound to me is enlightenment is real? No? That it is. That's sound to me.I’m not criticising that question. I think it's a great question. And It is absolutely necessary to ask that question. Why? if you don’t ask that question if you think you’re doing projects. You’re not even sure what you are aiming at it so enlightenment, is enlightenment necessary? Buddha technically repeat it say, “Yes, I have it why can’t you have it.” That’s the answer so is it really it is real so what is that means? Means a total free of all negativities, the moment you free all negativity the other side of it total knowledge total freedom there is no mystery. There is no unknown. That’s why it is the word of Buddha meaning awaking business. That comes that total knowledge because all obstacles blocks have been cleared so absolutely openness. Total knowledge means not educational knowledge that knowledge here is total openness nothing blocking there’s nothing hiding nothing normal to learn to learn everything there’s no more to learn, meaning there’s nothing unknown. So total openness. That’s what buddha is. Awaking state that’s what it is. So that question really mean what we are looking at it. is there really is it there? that’s what it is and it is very important. And Buddha assures that saying more if it is not there I’m letting down all sentient beings which are not there. that’s what it’s saying. A letting down sentient being if it’s not there

49:50 (question) the correct road will lead to it every road is not necessary lead to that area you eventually will switch road ….. I’m not sure. you don’t know? You eventually ya but it may take 500 years. that’s different reason. eventually ya but technically theoretically speaking everybody is supposed to become enlightened. Eventually but imagine 500 years. that’s different. So that’s essence all part might not lead to enlightenment. Might not. Even I’m on buddhist part. I mean I’m talking from the buddhist point of view. even I’m on buddhist part. all parts not necessary lead to the enlightenment. Ok any other question? We don’t have discussion at all if you keep on sitting like this, there’s no discussion.

51:30 (Question) it’s beyond mental creation. Mental creation is such a thing you can get very easily actually. unpair enlightenment it is extremely easy, simple little step. But enlightenment level is much more than that. I mean total knowledge, all knowing, awaking stage. it’s total difference than mental creations. mental creations is you have simple control of your mind. you can let your mind thinking certain direction. The disturbance will not come even the disturbance will not affect that particular mind. It is very much well trained mind. Very well-trained mind. So can think, focus everything. nothing bother that mind for that no disturbance can completely internal disturbance will not disturb. That is what you call it ci-nian息念 autoquiescence level

53:37 …(Question)....science….That’s called total knowledge. ….….good question. I don’t know. I’m wondering the purpose of Buddha is what? The purpose of Buddha is to give comfort in life, or do something beyond material life, and bring a total comfort. A total comfort, a permanent, total joy, and also one more funny thing is here the funny thing here is a not that buddha did not really creative either.what he did not do is scientific thing. if you look at this buddha’s magical creation debating this and that business created everything and that moment supposed to be I'm not there not seen.suppose to be creative..what he did not do is he did not do scientific thing. the scientific thing is anybody doubt whatever you do whatever it can look the same thing and Budha did not emphasize that. His emphasis is if you follow this you will part of it. you can reach to that level. You can do all this and that without dependent of material. and that's what the symbols I might maybe way off I’m seeing it scientific might not be right I Think Also same thing if everybody anybody who reach to that level of different levels you can reach to this level you can do this this this and that no matter whoever that person is as long as you reach that spiritual level you have …. two thousand you’re able to do this. That may be that way. Doesn’t have to be a fool is the person but if you reach to that level you can do. it’s not that without reaching that level what happen is you still depended on material not ...material depend on the mind development.

57:17 the question is whether the material is important or mind important? I think it comes …..(audience) I’m not sure whether it’s wasting or not. I think that Buddha emphasizes life is important it is tremendous capacities and it is short that we’ll do something now when you can.

59:34 ….(question) The thing is when you experience anger very strongly I don’t mean you can;t do much. But the great thing is you can recognize this anger and sometimes …. certain project I get more angry I get more jealous this this it’s not true. what happen is you recognize. I think it’s great the recognition is a great thing and what you really angry at that moment can you really do something? probably not. the recognition is so reduce the power of anger for sure. You don’t recognize you angry when you’re angry when you recognize you’re angry you feel a little embarrass and that embarrassment makes the anger a little weak. they really true. sounds terrible but it is true. you don’t have to embarrass because of other people. You embarrass because I so ashamed of myself. people said that very often.

1:00:54 (question) …..it is important statement. I’m not interested to creating more negative karmas. I’m not investment in that. It’s a big statement. Sure everybody will feel anger. people feel angry but awareness at least you said I’m not interested to creating . I'm not interested investment in anger. it’s a great statement. The statement comes out of awareness. And That very awareness if you keep on doing it, will keep you off that out of there but if you do not nurture that, do not nurture that, then you can lose. but you don’t know what to do i don’t know what to have I don’t know had tear out what to do that different issue. If You do know. If you don’t know. That's a different issue.

1:03:03 I didn’t hear what you said last part. … if you’re doing American attitude. fix it. I will fix it. I’m going to fix it. No, you can't. It is no way. You can’t. But never give up. Do not give up. Try to fix it all the time. It always becomes better and better and better. It’s not going to be totally fixed till you become a Buddha. When you become a Buddha, you’re totally fixed. You work your angry till then, you’ll get it. No, I’m not joking but I mean it. But you’ll be less anger. It leads you shorter, affect you less. It bothers you much less and doesn’t come very often. But it is there not gone completely. That’s how it goes about. You can’t fix it totally till you become a Buddha. But keep on trying, that’s how to do. Normally I want to fix it. That’s American attitude. That's a good attitude. Very good. And if you keep on thinking I’m not going to fix. I can’t fix it. I can’t do it. I can’t do it. And that is defeated people. The defeated person always alright I’ve defeated. I can’t do it. You know. They never get done. And every opportunity is there wasted. That is wrong attitude. Here is the right attitude. Want to fix? Go ahead. Do it.

1:05:09 (question) ……do you know the solution? Use the favor as solution. 1:06:25 but if you hit the cat with new favor, you should not get angry. if you hit it with anger, it is negativity. If you hit it with compassion, it is training.

1:07:19 (question) …..this is a very complicated question. ……(how do we know we are suppressing delusion or working through delusion because a lot of people I think suppress anger. they don’t have anger. They hold it inside. That’s not healthy. That’s not getting through, working through that anger. so how do we submit ….working through attachments….. .)

1:09:06 before I even say that, you know I have a normally they said Mahayana may have some little way of working a long way attachment for benefiting others of something maybe there. That means maybe there’s a way of making a use out of attachment. I don’t think Hinayana suppresses the delusion. Mahayana ruled it out. I don’t think that’s right statement at all. Even the Hinayana level they do rule it out because arhats are totally free of delusions. So they rule it out. That’s if I made a statement I also wrong. If anybody else made it I think that wrong. They may be way out the level in the tara bottom level. if you can not handle it, don’t deal with it. So may be the discipline oriented might have come that way. if you can not handle it, don’t deal with it. If you can handle it, go ahead. Do it. But Then don’t think you’re handling even you thinking. You know what I mean?

1:10:59 ....you know what I’m thinking? I’m thinking if you’re drinking alcohol or something. Even you become alcoholic, you never think I’m alcoholic. it takes a long time to figure out. And the person I did simply drinking one thing therefore medicine purpose or something but you know if I can handle it in reality you can not. so the similarly even in the Mahayana or particularly in …….. if they think they can handle it, anger or attachment, as part of something. you can be making a great deal of mistakes. It’s just like that. So it’s always safer grounding tara bottom principle and then Mahayana add it up and ….. add it up. That’s …... so working with suppressing is working with something very different. I don’t think working with anger is so as used for better I don’t mean it happen at least you become….level or ….level or something. Otherwise I really don’t think it happens within individual like us. I don’t think so. Probably whatever word is either way thinking, assuming, or always suppressing. Suppressing it bad no doubt. But it is better to me right? This terror means angry with me but if it is better you have less dealing with anger than

1:13:29 expressing is ok. …...you can even express. You can express it. Don’t letting them control you. You can express. For example, I do not see anything wrong if you beated too long. ….I don’t see you beated too long. I don’t think anything wrong with that. But if you beated somebody else. I think it is really wrong too. So Buddha expressing anger. Anyway, for me the lesser dealing it’s better. This is …...been a problem for a long time, anyway. It is ongoing all the problem rather than anything. I’m sure there is in between something for sure. But I’ve been accused of being a black or white all the time. They tell me there is no grey. Now I simply put grey all the time rather than black and white. But anyway, anyway what works for me is black and white.

1:15:10 (I think when you say repressing they’re not dealing they’re not the same thing there’s a big misunderstanding when you say depression we’re pushing something away from ourselves not really acknowledging it. so pushing away it’s not in our field of vision touching it when Buddha says not dealing with it we interpret it as depression ... ...understanding at all his meaning that you’re choosing not to deal with it. you recognize it there you recognize and you pay attention to it you’re not sort of pushing it away repressing it something ....you not allow yourself to have. that's what depression mean in our world. ...so you say just don’t deal with it don’t act it out. But not acknowledge it, not work with it, not recognize it, not allow yourself to see it, all these other things …)

1:16:42--1:16:46 (silence)

1:16:47 …..I really want you to think about it. Think two things: Think your projects. Get it straight. Have your steps organized. …….

1:17:45 when I say improve in life. It means less …. deal with it overcome if you just put it aside it’s not going to work. deal with it but make it overcome. There is no better medication than dharma for sure. There is no better medication than dharma. but dharma is not an aspirin. dharma doesn’t work like an aspirin. Doesn’t. It is like …..or homeo pack medicine. It cures. But doesn’t work like penicillin, aspirin or something.
