Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.22,0:05:17.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe our ancestors wanted\Nto be number one,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.23,0:06:04.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is to help us to see we have to \Nabandon the wrong view of a self.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.73,0:06:23.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sometimes we don't want to be number one,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.98,0:06:28.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it happens that\Nwe have to be number one.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.92,0:06:37.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And very often we want to be number one,\Nbut we do not become number one.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.26,0:06:48.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We think that the president\Nof a big country,

Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.59,0:07:28.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if he does not have enough power,\Nhow can we have enough power?

Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.63,0:07:40.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is our meditation.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:41.13,0:07:44.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what do we want: to be number one,\Nor to be happy?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.03,0:07:52.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when we are able to transform our view,

Dialogue: 0,0:09:19.55,0:09:22.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So to study is very fulfilling.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:25.67,0:09:29.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A good teacher is also someone\Nwho studies all the time,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:30.88,0:09:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because he knows that he knows many things\Nbut he can know more.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:36.53,0:09:40.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So both teacher and students\Nget a lot of happiness
