Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.02,0:06:08.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because drinking like that, you are very alive.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.05,0:06:10.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You are living deeply that moment of life

Dialogue: 0,0:06:15.32,0:06:23.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I like to make a commitment to drink my tea mindfully.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:26.31,0:06:34.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when I drink my tea mindfully, I am concentrated in my tea.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.68,0:06:39.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the energy of mindfulness carries

Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.12,0:06:53.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you are concentrated you begin to see things deeply.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.45,0:07:09.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Suppose I hold my cup mindfully. And because
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.67,0:07:19.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I am holding my cup mindfully I am truly here
Dialogue: 0,0:07:19.06,0:07:22.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and established in the present moment.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:23.52,0:07:29.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And suppose I pour the hot water

Dialogue: 0,0:07:37.17,0:07:38.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In my teapot
Dialogue: 0,0:07:38.58,0:07:40.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,mindfully
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.63,0:07:44.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have concentration,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.16,0:07:46.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that concentration allows me to see many things.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.53,0:07:53.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I see that this water has come from deep
Dialogue: 0,0:07:53.42,0:07:56.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,up in the mountain, deep in the earth.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.02,0:08:00.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It has come to me
Dialogue: 0,0:08:01.79,0:08:03.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in this bottle
Dialogue: 0,0:08:06.57,0:08:10.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as I pour the tea mindfully,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.27,0:08:17.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with concentration,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:18.26,0:08:24.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can see many things that people who are not mindful cannot see.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:25.05,0:08:27.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can see that there is a cloud in my tea.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:29.48,0:08:32.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yesterday it was a cloud floating in the sky.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:34.40,0:08:39.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now it is the tea.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:40.66,0:08:43.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that is why when I drink my tea,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:43.92,0:08:47.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I see that I am drinking my cloud,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:48.44,0:08:52.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the cloud has not died, even if it is
Dialogue: 0,0:08:52.72,0:08:57.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,no longer in the sky, but it has not died,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:57.26,0:09:06.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it is here, in it's new form of manifestation.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:06.83,0:09:13.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can listen to my tea, to my cloud.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:14.30,0:09:19.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if my concentration is very strong
Dialogue: 0,0:09:19.96,0:09:24.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can discover the nature of no birth and no death
Dialogue: 0,0:09:24.77,0:09:30.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of my cloud. I know that it is impossible
Dialogue: 0,0:09:30.03,0:09:33.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for a cloud to die, because to die means
Dialogue: 0,0:09:33.66,0:09:39.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from someone you suddenly become noone,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:39.08,0:09:43.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from something you suddenly become nothing,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:43.22,0:09:48.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that is what we mean by dying.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:48.48,0:09:55.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if I am mindful, concentrated, I'd be full of insight.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:56.12,0:10:01.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can see that my cloud can never die.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:01.52,0:10:07.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It can become snow or rain or ice, but it
Dialogue: 0,0:10:07.12,0:10:10.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can never become nothing.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:10.77,0:10:16.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I touch the nature of no birth and no death of the cloud.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:16.78,0:10:22.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if I continue, I can see myself having
Dialogue: 0,0:10:22.31,0:10:26.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that nature of no birth and no death.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:26.84,0:10:30.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If the true nature of the cloud is no birth and no death,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:30.89,0:10:35.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then my own nature is the nature of no birth and no death
Dialogue: 0,0:10:37.30,0:10:41.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if I can touch deeply the nature of
Dialogue: 0,0:10:41.31,0:10:45.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,no birth and no death in me, I am free from fear.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:45.87,0:10:52.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Fear of dying, fear of becoming nothing.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:52.44,0:10:59.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So mindfulness carries within itself that
Dialogue: 0,0:10:59.16,0:11:05.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,energy of concentration, and it carries
Dialogue: 0,0:11:05.62,0:11:11.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,within itself also the energy of insight.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:11.79,0:11:15.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mindfulness, concentration, insight,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:15.10,0:11:18.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that are three kinds of energies that we
Dialogue: 0,0:11:18.11,0:11:21.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can generate. And these three kinds of
Dialogue: 0,0:11:21.86,0:11:27.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,energies have the power to help us suffer less,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:27.59,0:11:36.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and help us to generate feelings of joy and happiness.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:36.80,0:11:39.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And all of us are capable of generating these
Dialogue: 0,0:11:39.82,0:11:43.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,three kinds of energies.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:43.61,0:11:46.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And to practice meditation, Buddhist meditation,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:46.59,0:11:51.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to generate these three kinds of energies.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:51.24,0:11:56.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And everyone can do, and right in the beginning of the practice.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:56.52,0:11:59.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can learn to drink your tea mindfully.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:59.55,0:12:04.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can learn how to walk mindfully.

Dialogue: 0,0:12:14.68,0:12:17.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when mindfulness is there,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:17.53,0:12:22.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,concentration is there, and insight will be there.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:22.55,0:12:25.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And with mindfulness, concentration, and insight,
Dialogue: 0,0:12:25.74,0:12:30.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can live very deeply every moment
Dialogue: 0,0:12:30.30,0:12:34.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of my daily life. I do not waste my life.
