Superpower to meditate or not you can meditate, it’s never too late. 0:00:06.4 Chinese translation Earlier Tibetan teachers say if you have three [inaudible] to live, you should become a buddha. If you have three months to live, you should be independent. If you have three days to live- sorry maybe this three weeks- you should be able to guide yourself properly. So that’s the reason why I say it is never too late. 0:00:49.9 Chinese translation The reasons why it’s never too late will be answered by the questions: who we are, and the mind continues and ego and compassion. All of the relationship, all of those will answer it’s never too late. Chinese translation So what we did this morning- we did basic introduction to Buddhism and we just bring up- begin to bring up the subject of good life, good death linked with the wisdom that Buddha shared with us. 0:02:20.6 Chinese translation And also we talked about impermanence. Chinese translation Impermanent means changing. Chinese translation Changing the time, Chinese translation time for lunch. Chinese translation Alright so I should have given you a little time to ask questions but we have the afternoon here so I think before I go into who are we very detailed although it’s five minutes earlier but let us take a break for lunch and we’ll meet back at 2pm.
