0:00:33.801,0:00:39.635
My question is:[br]how do you deal with depression?

0:00:40.866,0:00:44.866
How do you deal with depression?

0:00:45.851,0:00:48.801
(Thay off-camera)[br]Depression?

0:00:48.801,0:00:51.211
Yeah, depression.

0:00:52.640,0:00:56.640
We have learnt in the last four days,

0:00:57.780,0:01:03.080
that if something happens,

0:01:03.080,0:01:07.080
you have to be there[br]in order to recognize it.

0:01:07.080,0:01:09.770
So the first thing we do,

0:01:09.770,0:01:12.850
is to recognize the depression

0:01:12.850,0:01:14.440
and say hello to it.

0:01:14.440,0:01:16.080
Hello! My depression!

0:01:16.080,0:01:19.940
I know you are there.

0:01:19.940,0:01:23.700
And you have to look deeply to see,

0:01:23.700,0:01:27.810
whether there is a real depression or not.

0:01:27.810,0:01:31.040
A real depression is a kind of thing,

0:01:31.040,0:01:38.340
that can take away our peace, our joy,

0:01:39.436,0:01:42.946
our stability and so on.

0:01:47.396,0:01:53.496
Recognize it, and then look into it,

0:01:53.496,0:01:57.815
you should have enough time

0:01:58.055,0:02:03.485
to look into it, even to embrace it

0:02:03.485,0:02:06.545
and to find out why

0:02:06.545,0:02:11.075
it has come to you.

0:02:11.075,0:02:17.935
You might have been exposed [br]to many things.

0:02:17.935,0:02:20.841
The sounds, the sights,

0:02:20.841,0:02:23.201
the feelings and surroundings,

0:02:23.201,0:02:29.391
you might have consumed them[br]in such a way,

0:02:29.411,0:02:36.181
that has brought that depression to you.

0:02:36.181,0:02:40.423
If possible, you can ask,

0:02:40.423,0:02:47.603
someone to help you to do that.

0:02:47.603,0:02:54.233
A teacher, a friend, a psychotherapist,

0:02:54.233,0:02:58.998
they can help you to look deeply[br]into your depression,

0:02:58.998,0:03:00.975
to find out what kind of roots,

0:03:00.975,0:03:03.425
what kind of nutriment,

0:03:03.425,0:03:07.785
what kind of consumption,

0:03:07.785,0:03:11.818
you have used in order to feed it,

0:03:11.818,0:03:13.748
to bring it to you.

0:03:13.748,0:03:15.428
This is very important.

0:03:15.428,0:03:17.788
This is practicing the 'First Noble Truth'

0:03:17.788,0:03:20.118
and the Second Noble Truth'

0:03:20.118,0:03:24.268
and when you have seen,

0:03:24.268,0:03:25.888
the ghost,

0:03:25.888,0:03:32.578
the ghost is the root of the depression,

0:03:32.578,0:03:36.226
and the source of food that

0:03:36.226,0:03:40.226
that has brought the depression to you

0:03:40.226,0:03:42.246
and then you know what to do

0:03:42.246,0:03:44.276
and what not to do.

0:03:44.276,0:03:47.426
Maybe you have to change the environment,

0:03:47.426,0:03:53.426
you have to change your way of consumption,

0:03:53.426,0:03:58.856
you have to be surrounded[br]by more positive elements.

0:03:58.856,0:04:04.086
If you get a new source of nutriment,

0:04:04.086,0:04:07.621
healthy, sane,

0:04:07.621,0:04:10.741
you don't feed your depression anymore,

0:04:10.741,0:04:12.281
It will have to go by itself,

0:04:12.281,0:04:16.471
you don't have to chase it away.

0:04:16.471,0:04:18.691
That is what you have learnt,

0:04:18.691,0:04:21.041
during the last many days.

0:04:21.041,0:04:23.281
You can do it by yourself,

0:04:23.281,0:04:27.811
and you can rely on a friend,[br]

0:04:27.961,0:04:31.101
a brother or sister[br]in the practice to help you,

0:04:31.101,0:04:33.151
because she knows how to do it,

0:04:33.151,0:04:36.351
he knows how to do it.

0:04:36.351,0:04:37.911
It's a good question.
