4
00:00:14,301 --> 00:00:19,271
Breathing in, I'm aware
that I'm sitting with my sangha,

5
00:00:21,308 --> 00:00:26,712
surrounded by the frost, cold,
above, below,

6
00:00:27,245 --> 00:00:29,696
but inside it is warm.

7
00:00:31,884 --> 00:00:37,204
Breathing out, I let go all
my expectations about this Dharma talk.

8
00:00:37,339 --> 00:00:39,699
(Laughter)

9
00:00:40,317 --> 00:00:44,568
About the Winter Retreat,
about my practice,

10
00:00:46,558 --> 00:00:52,286
so I can be fully here
breathing with my sangha.

11
00:00:55,332 --> 00:01:02,572
In, aware of the Sangha,
out, letting go of expectations.

(Bell)

16
00:02:26,220 --> 00:02:31,191
Breathing in, I'm aware
that mindfulness is present.

17
00:02:33,333 --> 00:02:38,954
Aware of my breathing,
aware of my body,

18
00:02:43,022 --> 00:02:46,116
aware of my feelings,

19
00:02:50,498 --> 00:02:52,932
aware of my mind.

20
00:02:57,956 --> 00:03:03,357
Aware of the impermanent nature
of all things.

21
00:03:05,964 --> 00:03:09,423
Breathing out, I smile to mindfulness.

22
00:03:12,814 --> 00:03:17,933
This awareness taking care
of the present moment.

23
00:03:33,510 --> 00:03:42,635
Breathing in, I investigate
what is going on in my body,

24
00:03:45,108 --> 00:03:47,804
the sensations,

25
00:03:49,653 --> 00:03:52,490
arising and passing away.

26
00:03:57,790 --> 00:04:02,834
I investigate my mind,
thoughts coming and going.

27
00:04:11,864 --> 00:04:20,135
Breathing out, I smile
to this capacity to investigate

28
00:04:21,912 --> 00:04:24,326
what is going on.

29
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:58,345
Breathing in, I touch a deep source
of energy, life energy,

30
00:05:05,228 --> 00:05:14,836
that supports, gives life
to this mindfulness,

31
00:05:15,965 --> 00:05:19,197
to this investigative energy.

32
00:05:26,197 --> 00:05:31,194
Allow this energy to nourish my practice,

33
00:05:34,791 --> 00:05:38,029
to bring me back to the present moment

34
00:05:44,272 --> 00:05:47,467
and be aware of what is going on

35
00:05:52,036 --> 00:05:55,047
with diligence.

36
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:06,759
Breathing out, I smile to this energy
awakened inside of me.

37
00:06:32,069 --> 00:06:39,898
Breathing in, I feel joy,
a kind of rapture in my body.

38
00:06:43,410 --> 00:06:49,458
With this mindfulness,
this investigation within,

39
00:06:54,933 --> 00:06:58,607
that ignites the source of energy.

40
00:07:02,001 --> 00:07:04,831
My body fills with joy,

41
00:07:08,582 --> 00:07:13,744
joy to be alive and aware
of the present moment.

42
00:07:25,647 --> 00:07:32,400
Breathing out, I smile to joy
within me and around me.

43
00:07:57,212 --> 00:07:59,906
Breathing in,

44
00:08:01,562 --> 00:08:06,993
this joy makes my body
calm, tranquil.

45
00:08:09,517 --> 00:08:12,370
I have nowhere to go and nothing to do.

46
00:08:17,375 --> 00:08:22,489
All I need is available here and now

47
00:08:24,431 --> 00:08:26,534
within.

48
00:08:37,769 --> 00:08:46,300
Breathing out, I allow this tranquility
to pervade my body and my mind.

49
00:09:11,060 --> 00:09:18,030
Breathing in, my mind
is naturally concentrated.

50
00:09:23,423 --> 00:09:28,317
With mindfulness,
awareness of what is going on,

51
00:09:30,134 --> 00:09:35,573
energy, joy,

52
00:09:38,999 --> 00:09:41,143
and calm,

53
00:09:42,414 --> 00:09:50,466
my body need make no effort
to rest in concentration.

54
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,537
My thinking is calmed down.

55
00:10:16,655 --> 00:10:23,352
I can sustain my awareness with ease
and allow it to pervade

56
00:10:24,954 --> 00:10:26,650
my body and my mind.

57
00:10:46,772 --> 00:10:50,571
Breathing out, I smile to concentration.

58
00:10:56,318 --> 00:10:58,962
I feel settled,

59
00:11:01,163 --> 00:11:04,965
free from all worry or anxiety.

60
00:11:29,781 --> 00:11:36,881
Breathing in, I touch equanimity.

61
00:11:41,577 --> 00:11:46,327
I allow my awareness
to include all things,

62
00:11:48,201 --> 00:11:56,910
good, painful, just or unjust,

63
00:12:02,172 --> 00:12:09,246
fair or unfair,
pleasant or unpleasant.

64
00:12:16,438 --> 00:12:21,773
My mind no longer
is attached to perceptions

65
00:12:21,913 --> 00:12:26,230
about all these things,

66
00:12:28,139 --> 00:12:30,970
liking, disliking.

67
00:12:36,807 --> 00:12:39,480
Breathing out, I feel free,

68
00:12:42,594 --> 00:12:45,322
my heart feels open,

69
00:12:48,947 --> 00:12:55,510
my worries, my burdens
are cast off, frozen away.

70
00:13:16,685 --> 00:13:20,961
Breathing in, with mindfulness,

71
00:13:23,297 --> 00:13:28,058
investigating what is going on
in the present moment,

72
00:13:32,214 --> 00:13:38,232
making effort, energy,
to sustain this awareness,

73
00:13:42,784 --> 00:13:51,807
enjoying the rapture
that fills my body and mind,

74
00:13:52,908 --> 00:13:55,609
and allowing it to calm down

75
00:13:57,465 --> 00:14:00,707
and become concentrated,

76
00:14:01,909 --> 00:14:12,710
I no longer am attached
to my likes and dislikes,

77
00:14:16,228 --> 00:14:19,364
my fears or my desires.

78
00:14:24,592 --> 00:14:28,602
I can dwell happily
in this present moment

79
00:14:29,871 --> 00:14:32,375
as I breathe out.
