00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:24,028
(Bell)

2
00:00:27,848 --> 00:00:31,476
(French) 
Why do I sometimes cry for no reason?

3
00:00:34,184 --> 00:00:37,138
(English)
Why do I sometimes cry for no reason?

4
00:00:49,456 --> 00:00:54,897
There is some reason
but we have not seen it.

5
00:00:57,116 --> 00:01:02,235
As Thay has said before, sometimes

6
00:01:03,921 --> 00:01:12,973
the sorrow, the sadness of our parents 
have been transmitted to you.

7
00:01:13,513 --> 00:01:18,591
and maybe, you have 
the sorrow, the sadness in you.

8
00:01:21,508 --> 00:01:25,042
You have not created 
that sadness, that sorrow,

9
00:01:25,199 --> 00:01:29,078
but maybe
one of your ancestors, one of your parents

10
00:01:29,739 --> 00:01:34,797
did not know how to transform 
that sorrow, that sadness

11
00:01:34,797 --> 00:01:38,623
That is why it's still there in you.

12
00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:42,392
So one day if you feel sad,

13
00:01:42,564 --> 00:01:47,318
and if you don't know what is the cause 
of that sadness,

14
00:01:47,558 --> 00:01:49,502
and you cry,

15
00:01:49,722 --> 00:01:55,828
you might like to breath in mindfully
and get in touch with your parents,

16
00:01:55,928 --> 00:02:00,542
get in touch with your ancestors,
who are in you, and you say:

17
00:02:00,542 --> 00:02:04,523
"Dear parents, dear ancestors, 
this is your sorrow, your sadness.

18
00:02:04,572 --> 00:02:10,397
and I'm crying 
in order to help you suffer less in me."

19
00:02:11,293 --> 00:02:14,174
And if you practice like that,

20
00:02:14,413 --> 00:02:20,563
everytime you feel sad and you cry,
and you don't know why and how,

21
00:02:20,945 --> 00:02:23,930
you practice breathing in and out

22
00:02:24,255 --> 00:02:29,055
and recognize that sadness is in you 
and smile to it,

23
00:02:29,267 --> 00:02:34,584
that way, you'll help yourself 
and you help your parents, your ancestors.

24
00:02:35,123 --> 00:02:38,076
And this is a very simple practice, 


25
00:02:38,465 --> 00:02:43,729
but it has a great effect
to smile at your sadness.

26
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:51,879
And Thay has seen people 
who are crying and smiling at the same time

27
00:02:52,493 --> 00:02:56,816
They are smiling to their own sadness.

28
00:02:57,871 --> 00:02:59,935
And this is very wonderful.

29
00:03:00,220 --> 00:03:06,703
It's like a positive energy 
is taking care of a negative energy.

30
00:03:07,450 --> 00:03:14,432
This is like a brother
taking care of a sister.

31
00:03:16,672 --> 00:03:19,074
A brother is taking care of a sister.

32
00:03:19,994 --> 00:03:25,738
Your compassion, your joy
is a big brother.

33
00:03:25,996 --> 00:03:32,987
Your sadness, your sorrow
is a younger sister.

34
00:03:33,427 --> 00:03:38,185
And the big brother is taking care
of the younger sister.

35
00:03:38,530 --> 00:03:40,965
This is a very beautiful practice.

36
00:03:41,306 --> 00:03:48,965
And not only when we are sad and we cry, 
we can do like that.

37
00:03:49,306 --> 00:03:51,251
but also when we are angry.

38
00:03:51,963 --> 00:03:58,103
Anger is a young brother, 
a younger brother.

39
00:03:58,666 --> 00:04:03,258
When we get angry, we should know 
how to smile to our anger.

40
00:04:05,045 --> 00:04:10,075
Smiling to your anger 
is a very beautiful practice.

41
00:04:11,345 --> 00:04:14,483
And... 


42
00:04:21,251 --> 00:04:24,193
And... if you can do that,

43
00:04:25,273 --> 00:04:30,325
you will get a victory.

44
00:04:40,169 --> 00:04:47,528
