00:00:28,353 --> 00:00:32,864
(French) Why do you form only students
and not spiritual masters like yourself?

00:00:34,138 --> 00:00:39,990
(Translator) Why do you form only students
and not spiritual masters like yourself?

5
00:00:42,329 --> 00:00:47,425
Every student is a master.

6
00:00:50,804 --> 00:00:53,940
When you are a student,

7
00:00:54,416 --> 00:00:58,862
you play the role of being
your own master.

8
00:01:01,363 --> 00:01:07,860
You don't rely entirely
on your teacher.

9
00:01:11,649 --> 00:01:19,103
You have to make the teacher
that is outside of yourself

10
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:24,927
to be inside of you.

11
00:01:27,476 --> 00:01:30,499
It is possible to train yourself

12
00:01:30,499 --> 00:01:38,566
so that your teacher is not outside 
but always inside of you.

13
00:01:40,006 --> 00:01:44,923
So that even when you are physically
separated from your teacher,

14
00:01:45,512 --> 00:01:48,519
your teacher is still with you inside.

15
00:01:53,903 --> 00:01:59,814
Suppose you are confronting a situation,

16
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:09,982
and you don't know how to react,
how to act,

17
00:02:10,867 --> 00:02:17,875
and if your teacher is not there,
for you to ask,

18
00:02:18,761 --> 00:02:23,713
then you can tell yourself,

19
00:02:24,042 --> 00:02:32,443
if this happened to my teacher,
how would he act or react.

20
00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:38,050
If you ask the question,
then the teacher becomes "inside",

21
00:02:39,850 --> 00:02:50,097
and the teacher inside is always
available.

22
00:02:51,016 --> 00:02:57,520
If you are your own teacher,
you can be the teacher of others,

23
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,375
you can be a disciple and a teacher
at the same time.

24
00:03:04,205 --> 00:03:06,602
Suppose your hear from your teacher,

25
00:03:06,602 --> 00:03:11,222
the practice of mindful walking,

26
00:03:14,202 --> 00:03:21,966
and if you practice well,
enjoy every step that you make,

27
00:03:22,650 --> 00:03:26,945
you walk so that
every step can be healing,

28
00:03:27,147 --> 00:03:33,026
and nourishing, joyful, peaceful,

29
00:03:33,226 --> 00:03:38,754
you are practicing as a good disciple.

30
00:03:39,749 --> 00:03:43,360
But people around you,


31
00:03:44,182 --> 00:03:47,073
monks, nuns, lay practitioners,

32
00:03:47,344 --> 00:03:49,663
when they see you walking like that,

33
00:03:49,663 --> 00:03:52,615
your solidity, your freedom and joy,

34
00:03:52,615 --> 00:03:54,712
they can learn from you.

35
00:03:54,712 --> 00:03:57,466
They can learn
from your way of walking,

36
00:03:57,522 --> 00:04:01,580
so you walk as a teacher also.

37
00:04:01,735 --> 00:04:06,510
You practice as a student,
and you practice as a spiritual teacher.

38
00:04:07,214 --> 00:04:09,289
Even if you don't say anything,

39
00:04:09,289 --> 00:04:12,718
you are teaching people how to do it.

40
00:04:12,884 --> 00:04:16,868
So don't think that the teacher
and the student are two things,

41
00:04:16,874 --> 00:04:20,813
that can be taken out of each other.

42
00:04:22,349 --> 00:04:28,416
A good student is 
at the same time a good teacher.

43
00:04:28,591 --> 00:04:32,925
So it it is not true that
I am not training teachers.

44
00:04:33,130 --> 00:04:37,859
When I train students, I train teachers,

45
00:04:38,420 --> 00:04:41,883
because all students have to be teachers.
