2
00:00:15,450 --> 00:00:27,590
you are this wonderful to be connected

3
00:00:20,730 --> 00:00:27,590
with each other in many different places

4
00:00:28,099 --> 00:00:38,300
and now we want to come back to our

5
00:00:31,529 --> 00:00:43,440
breathing and really feel our connection

6
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:48,629
with everyone else who is there to the

7
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:53,280
edge of the Dharma talk and first of all

8
00:00:48,629 --> 00:00:57,690
in order to bring us together we are

9
00:00:53,280 --> 00:01:01,850
going to sing a song for you from the

10
00:00:57,690 --> 00:01:01,850
New Hamlet in Plum Village

11
00:01:05,660 --> 00:02:57,100
[Music]

12
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:57,100
[Music]

13
00:04:16,250 --> 00:04:19,250
[Music]

14
00:04:23,140 --> 00:05:10,840
[Music]

15
00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:23,320
most respected Thay, dear Sangha

16
00:05:17,940 --> 00:05:28,210
everywhere, today is the 26th of April in

17
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:33,250
the year 2020 and we are in the New

18
00:05:28,210 --> 00:05:43,930
Hamlet of Plum village sending out a

19
00:05:33,250 --> 00:05:50,890
Dharma talk online, we are very lucky that

20
00:05:43,930 --> 00:05:55,300
we have ways of communicating when we

21
00:05:50,890 --> 00:06:02,740
cannot be physically together, we have

22
00:05:55,300 --> 00:06:05,740
the telephone, we have the internet so

23
00:06:02,740 --> 00:06:10,330
that we can we can be together in a

24
00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:15,910
sense, we can see each other, we can hear

25
00:06:10,330 --> 00:06:22,330
each other, but before these things were

26
00:06:15,910 --> 00:06:28,150
invented people also had the need to be

27
00:06:22,330 --> 00:06:38,860
together with those who were far away

28
00:06:28,150 --> 00:06:44,460
and they were also able to do that, we

29
00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:48,729
have a way in which we can send our love

30
00:06:44,460 --> 00:06:56,039
there is a way in which we are connected

31
00:06:48,729 --> 00:07:01,570
and recently with the discovery of how

32
00:06:56,039 --> 00:07:04,460
how the nature of the particle the

33
00:07:01,570 --> 00:07:07,560
sub-atomic particle

34
00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:14,759
the scientists have discovered something

35
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:20,039
called "non-local" it means in a sense we

36
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:25,759
can be where we are not. In Plum Village

37
00:07:20,039 --> 00:07:31,639
on the day of mindfulness we often

38
00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:34,889
practice sending energy sending our love

39
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:37,889
to people who are not there in Plum

40
00:07:34,889 --> 00:07:41,699
Village people who may be in the

41
00:07:37,889 --> 00:07:48,180
hospital, people who maybe have died

42
00:07:41,699 --> 00:07:52,849
already, we say their name we concentrate

43
00:07:48,180 --> 00:07:57,060
on our breathing we concentrate on the

44
00:07:52,849 --> 00:08:02,849
Bodhisattva of compassion who is in us

45
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:07,710
and in our Sangha, and we use that energy

46
00:08:02,849 --> 00:08:13,080
in order to send it to the one whose

47
00:08:07,710 --> 00:08:17,819
name we have mentioned and we know that

48
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:26,490
this is effective because I have heard

49
00:08:17,819 --> 00:08:31,830
people say at the very time when we said

50
00:08:26,490 --> 00:08:37,860
the name of the person and concentrated

51
00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:42,659
on the Bodhisattvas maybe someone who

52
00:08:37,860 --> 00:08:49,800
was dying and not at peace became

53
00:08:42,659 --> 00:08:53,610
peaceful while someone who was not dying

54
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:56,520
but not at peace also became peaceful at

55
00:08:53,610 --> 00:09:02,870
that very moment, although there were

56
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:06,810
hundreds of kilometers away, so we know

57
00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:11,270
both from science and from our own

58
00:09:06,810 --> 00:09:14,930
experience it is possible to send love

59
00:09:11,270 --> 00:09:19,460
is possible to send peace

60
00:09:14,930 --> 00:09:23,180
and it's possible to send your smile to

61
00:09:19,460 --> 00:09:31,250
those who need it, you just need to say

62
00:09:23,180 --> 00:09:36,709
the name of the person and smile, and say

63
00:09:31,250 --> 00:09:41,450
dear whatever the name is I'm smiling

64
00:09:36,709 --> 00:09:51,440
for you this is the smile of compassion

65
00:09:41,450 --> 00:09:55,610
a smile of relaxation of peace but of

66
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:59,400
course the important thing is that the

67
00:09:55,610 --> 00:10:00,640
one who is sending the love 

68
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:07,089
this smile

69
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:13,600
has to feel peace, has to be peace, and

70
00:10:07,089 --> 00:10:18,680
that is what is essential and all of us

71
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:24,680
who have met the practice we know how to

72
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:29,690
do that say that even you were in the

73
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:35,720
same room as the person who is sick or

74
00:10:29,690 --> 00:10:40,610
dying it would be so important that you

75
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:44,209
could feel peace, if you were afraid if

76
00:10:40,610 --> 00:10:48,130
you were crying at that time it would

77
00:10:44,209 --> 00:10:52,400
not help the person who needs your help

78
00:10:48,130 --> 00:11:00,110
and now though you cannot be in the same

79
00:10:52,400 --> 00:11:07,940
room still your peace can reach the

80
00:11:00,110 --> 00:11:09,410
person you wanted to reach you only need

81
00:11:07,940 --> 00:11:12,649
to say their name

82
00:11:09,410 --> 00:11:18,079
you only need to feel the deep peace

83
00:11:12,649 --> 00:11:22,640
within you and to feel also that you are

84
00:11:18,079 --> 00:11:28,570
a Bodhisattva that means you are someone

85
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:34,710
who has the mind of love, the mind

86
00:11:28,570 --> 00:11:40,330
awakening, and that Bodhisattva is in you

87
00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:44,350
is not someone outside of you, maybe in

88
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:48,280
the beginning the Bodhisattva you

89
00:11:44,350 --> 00:11:51,010
visualize outside of you, you visualize

90
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:55,300
that great being who is full of

91
00:11:51,010 --> 00:12:00,460
compassion and understanding as being

92
00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:03,850
outside of you, but as you go deeper into

93
00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:08,470
your concentration you will see the

94
00:12:03,850 --> 00:12:12,400
Bodhisattva is inside of you and another

95
00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:17,430
wonderful thing that you may see is that

96
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:22,750
the Bodhisattva is inside of the person

97
00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:35,260
you are sending your energy to, the

98
00:12:22,750 --> 00:12:44,130
Bodhisattva is also non-local. Many of us

99
00:12:35,260 --> 00:12:44,130
now we find ourselves in confinement I

100
00:12:44,730 --> 00:12:58,060
don't know whether you feel that you are

101
00:12:47,530 --> 00:13:04,600
in a prison, you may do, when we first

102
00:12:58,060 --> 00:13:09,420
published in English the manual for

103
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:16,660
novices with the code of discipline for

104
00:13:09,420 --> 00:13:20,730
novices somehow it got that book got

105
00:13:16,660 --> 00:13:20,730
inside the walls of a prison

106
00:13:22,339 --> 00:13:31,939
and a prisoner who had a very long

107
00:13:25,660 --> 00:13:40,309
sentence to serve read the book from

108
00:13:31,939 --> 00:13:45,410
cover to cover and said to himself I can

109
00:13:40,309 --> 00:13:48,999
become a novice in prison the prison can

110
00:13:45,410 --> 00:13:48,999
become my monastery

111
00:13:49,629 --> 00:13:58,970
he shaved his head (you don't need to

112
00:13:53,420 --> 00:14:03,350
shave your head) he recited the novice

113
00:13:58,970 --> 00:14:09,649
precept for himself and he decided that

114
00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:14,209
he's become a novice and every day from

115
00:14:09,649 --> 00:14:19,430
the moment he woke up he could use the

116
00:14:14,209 --> 00:14:24,139
poems that the novice uses in order to

117
00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:28,459
be able to feel that he is really in a

118
00:14:24,139 --> 00:14:33,259
monastery, his prison has become his

119
00:14:28,459 --> 00:14:37,269
monastery, so this is something that we

120
00:14:33,259 --> 00:14:41,509
can, we can do we can make our

121
00:14:37,269 --> 00:14:47,029
environment a monastery, we can make our

122
00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:52,339
environment the house of the Buddha, the

123
00:14:47,029 --> 00:14:53,769
house of Jesus Christ, where we can enjoy

124
00:14:52,339 --> 00:14:57,679
our breathing

125
00:14:53,769 --> 00:15:02,720
enjoy our mindful walking at every

126
00:14:57,679 --> 00:15:10,879
moment of the day... do you know the little

127
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:16,660
poem waking up I smile I have 24

128
00:15:10,879 --> 00:15:20,199
brand-new hours I vow to live them fully

129
00:15:16,660 --> 00:15:23,209
looking at life with the eyes of love

130
00:15:20,199 --> 00:15:31,520
someone is translating into Vietnamese

131
00:15:23,209 --> 00:15:40,500
and there's no word I in Vietnamese

132
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:44,220
waking up smile, no I, 24 brand-new hours

133
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:48,210
even if you don't feel like smiling it

134
00:15:44,220 --> 00:15:56,029
doesn't have to be I that smiles there

135
00:15:48,210 --> 00:16:01,080
just has to be a smile and the smile is

136
00:15:56,029 --> 00:16:06,750
wonderful the smile is the kind of mouth

137
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:14,150
yoga, that can transform our state of

138
00:16:06,750 --> 00:16:18,750
mind when we smile we send a message to

139
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:23,690
the nerves in our brain and the message

140
00:16:18,750 --> 00:16:23,690
is something like it's alright

141
00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:32,010
everything is going to be okay

142
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:36,959
so we need that smile very much at this

143
00:16:32,010 --> 00:16:42,300
time, so that we can take care of the

144
00:16:36,959 --> 00:16:47,760
present moment don't think there's an

145
00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:50,250
I who is smiling, when you smile your

146
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:55,500
ancestors your mother and your father

147
00:16:50,250 --> 00:17:01,650
are smiling with you your children are

148
00:16:55,500 --> 00:17:05,089
smiling with you you inter-are that is

149
00:17:01,650 --> 00:17:10,079
the most wonderful teaching that we have

150
00:17:05,089 --> 00:17:17,790
it is the teaching that we need most in

151
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:25,880
our time interbeing, I am NOT a separate

152
00:17:17,790 --> 00:17:31,559
self, but in order to be able to touch

153
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:34,770
deeply the true nature of interbeing we

154
00:17:31,559 --> 00:17:41,040
have to be very much there in the

155
00:17:34,770 --> 00:17:44,720
present moment, not carried away by what

156
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,720
is happening around us

157
00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:56,470
some people say that in this time when

158
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,750
they are in good health

159
00:17:56,470 --> 00:18:04,670
when their loved ones are also in good

160
00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:10,390
health when they have financial

161
00:18:04,670 --> 00:18:10,390
resources they have everything they need

162
00:18:11,230 --> 00:18:19,330
they feel all the same

163
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:24,640
they do not have the right to be happy

164
00:18:19,330 --> 00:18:24,640
when so many others are suffering

165
00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:39,420
but please remember that the world needs

166
00:18:34,450 --> 00:18:44,290
your happiness not the happiness of

167
00:18:39,420 --> 00:18:48,000
indulging your sense pleasures but the

168
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:52,570
happiness that comes from being at peace

169
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:58,630
from being able to accept, from being

170
00:18:52,570 --> 00:19:02,380
able to breathe and to walk, this

171
00:18:58,630 --> 00:19:07,390
happiness is very important for the

172
00:19:02,380 --> 00:19:10,900
world at this time and out of this

173
00:19:07,390 --> 00:19:18,520
happiness you can bring happiness to

174
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:30,640
others you can console those who

175
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:35,410
are mourning, who are afraid, so allow

176
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:46,750
yourself to enjoy the true happiness as

177
00:19:35,410 --> 00:19:49,840
a gift to the world. So what we want to

178
00:19:46,750 --> 00:19:53,920
be, what we need to do to reestablish

179
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:58,510
peace is to be able to come back to

180
00:19:53,920 --> 00:20:03,250
ourselves. We just sang for you being an

181
00:19:58,510 --> 00:20:07,930
island unto myself this means I have the

182
00:20:03,250 --> 00:20:12,520
capacity to come back to my body as it

183
00:20:07,930 --> 00:20:16,750
is in the present moment and your body

184
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:19,750
may be in good shape your body may not

185
00:20:16,750 --> 00:20:24,870
be in good shape

186
00:20:19,750 --> 00:20:29,170
but all the same it's doing its best and

187
00:20:24,870 --> 00:20:36,000
you can come back to it and when you

188
00:20:29,170 --> 00:20:36,000
come back to your body

189
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:44,820
you can help your body your body will

190
00:20:41,100 --> 00:20:49,700
feel happy when your mind comes back to

191
00:20:44,820 --> 00:20:54,750
it and that is why we say breathing in

192
00:20:49,700 --> 00:20:58,710
I'm aware of my whole body it's to be

193
00:20:54,750 --> 00:21:03,140
able to come back and for your mind rest

194
00:20:58,710 --> 00:21:09,930
peacefully in every cell of your body

195
00:21:03,140 --> 00:21:19,080
and in the Sutras they use the example of

196
00:21:09,930 --> 00:21:26,280
a turtle, a turtle has its four legs its

197
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:31,230
head and its tail, and when the turtle

198
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:35,960
needs to it will withdraw its legs its

199
00:21:31,230 --> 00:21:40,530
head and its tail under its shell, and

200
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:45,620
there it is perfectly safe in its shell

201
00:21:40,530 --> 00:21:52,500
and many times in the Sutra we are

202
00:21:45,620 --> 00:22:00,240
reminded that we should pull in our six

203
00:21:52,500 --> 00:22:04,560
senses our eyes ears nose etc. bring them

204
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:12,090
back on mind bring them back to the

205
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:17,390
island of our self it's like on a windy

206
00:22:12,090 --> 00:22:19,830
day if you leave all the doors open

207
00:22:17,390 --> 00:22:25,800
everything in the room will be blown

208
00:22:19,830 --> 00:22:30,030
around it will be cold in the room so we

209
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:34,680
need to close the doors we need to close

210
00:22:30,030 --> 00:22:39,270
the windows and although it's wonderful

211
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:42,840
to have the Internet as a means of

212
00:22:39,270 --> 00:22:48,269
connection as a way of being with our

213
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:52,259
Sangha it can also pull us out of ourself

214
00:22:48,269 --> 00:22:58,469
if we don't use it in the right way

215
00:22:52,259 --> 00:23:03,919
so we should be very careful how we use

216
00:22:58,469 --> 00:23:08,629
the Internet and we should always know

217
00:23:03,919 --> 00:23:16,190
how not to get lost in it, carried away

218
00:23:08,629 --> 00:23:20,839
by it, to come back into our shell and

219
00:23:16,190 --> 00:23:28,859
take care of our body and our mind as

220
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:35,269
they are in the present moment. Now we

221
00:23:28,859 --> 00:23:35,269
enjoy the bell to do just that

222
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,390
[Music]

223
00:24:19,470 --> 00:24:31,490
You know that we are made up of what are

224
00:24:24,090 --> 00:24:37,880
called five skandhas: our body, our

225
00:24:31,490 --> 00:24:46,500
feelings, perceptions, mental formations

226
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:51,030
and consciousness. What this means is

227
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:57,679
that sometimes you identify yourself

228
00:24:51,030 --> 00:24:57,679
with your body you feel I am my body

229
00:24:58,039 --> 00:25:09,030
sometimes you identify yourself with

230
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:18,860
your feeling with your thinking with

231
00:25:09,030 --> 00:25:18,860
your emotions and with your consciousness

232
00:25:19,100 --> 00:25:26,059
all these things you can call myself

233
00:25:30,890 --> 00:25:39,690
because we have the practice of

234
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:47,159
mindfulness we are able to take good

235
00:25:39,690 --> 00:25:52,230
care of these five rivers that are

236
00:25:47,159 --> 00:25:59,460
always flowing in us and changing at

237
00:25:52,230 --> 00:26:03,780
every moment so the first step is to

238
00:25:59,460 --> 00:26:08,789
come back to yourself and the second

239
00:26:03,780 --> 00:26:14,970
step is to take care of

240
00:26:08,789 --> 00:26:19,860
yourself and don't feel that that

241
00:26:14,970 --> 00:26:23,539
is selfish because taking care of

242
00:26:19,860 --> 00:26:28,169
yourself you are taking care of your

243
00:26:23,539 --> 00:26:29,159
ancestors who gave you who transmited

244
00:26:28,169 --> 00:26:32,230
to you

245
00:26:29,159 --> 00:26:36,390
your body and your mind

246
00:26:32,230 --> 00:26:40,299
you are taking care of your descendants

247
00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:47,500
to whom you have transmitted your body

248
00:26:40,299 --> 00:26:53,230
and your mind, and something else: you are

249
00:26:47,500 --> 00:26:58,510
taking care of Mother Earth because you

250
00:26:53,230 --> 00:27:00,220
are a child of the Earth and when you

251
00:26:58,510 --> 00:27:03,580
take care of yourself

252
00:27:00,220 --> 00:27:15,090
it's no different from taking care of

253
00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:15,090
the earth. If you are environmentalist

254
00:27:15,929 --> 00:27:24,660
and you don't take care of your body you

255
00:27:21,220 --> 00:27:27,640
are not really taking care of the Earth

256
00:27:24,660 --> 00:27:31,780
if you do not call yourself an

257
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:33,270
environmentalist but you take good care

258
00:27:31,780 --> 00:27:38,230
of your body

259
00:27:33,270 --> 00:27:42,220
you are taking care of the Earth and you will

260
00:27:38,230 --> 00:27:44,760
love the Earth every time you walk on 

261
00:27:42,220 --> 00:27:44,760
the Earth

262
00:27:46,530 --> 00:27:58,380
recently they've done, scientists have

263
00:27:51,820 --> 00:28:05,830
done much research on what kind of diet

264
00:27:58,380 --> 00:28:11,860
is best for the human being and they

265
00:28:05,830 --> 00:28:17,049
have discovered that the best diet for a

266
00:28:11,860 --> 00:28:21,850
human being is also the diet which will

267
00:28:17,049 --> 00:28:26,790
help preserve Mother Earth for the

268
00:28:21,850 --> 00:28:32,020
longest time that is a diet without

269
00:28:26,790 --> 00:28:35,440
animal products so we can see even from

270
00:28:32,020 --> 00:28:39,400
a scientific point of view that taking

271
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:41,669
care of ourselves is taking care of the

272
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,669
Earth

273
00:28:43,140 --> 00:29:01,780
so we come back to our five skandhas and

274
00:28:52,500 --> 00:29:06,970
we see that our body needs our love and our

275
00:29:01,780 --> 00:29:12,820
care some people say that when they

276
00:29:06,970 --> 00:29:18,840
become sick they lose confidence in

277
00:29:12,820 --> 00:29:28,140
their body "I don't trust my body anymore"

278
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:28,140
because it has become sick but in fact I

279
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:40,810
have more trust in my body when I become

280
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:47,550
sick because I have to go back to my

281
00:29:40,810 --> 00:29:50,200
body I have to watch it very carefully I

282
00:29:47,550 --> 00:29:55,270
have to be aware of it

283
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:56,560
at every moment and I see how it's doing

284
00:29:55,270 --> 00:30:01,200
its best

285
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:05,260
I see how it's changing at every moment

286
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:09,940
and it's trying to deal with the

287
00:30:05,260 --> 00:30:11,020
situation it has, so in fact my

288
00:30:09,940 --> 00:30:18,570
confidence

289
00:30:11,020 --> 00:30:26,230
increases, so we come back and we take

290
00:30:18,570 --> 00:30:29,620
take care we are aware and they have

291
00:30:26,230 --> 00:30:35,740
discovered that relaxation is a

292
00:30:29,620 --> 00:30:40,660
wonderful way of healing you don't

293
00:30:35,740 --> 00:30:47,470
really have to do very much except allow

294
00:30:40,660 --> 00:30:53,610
your body to relax allow your body to to

295
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:53,610
get back its strength to rest

296
00:30:58,860 --> 00:31:06,720
sometimes when we get sick it's because our

297
00:31:01,809 --> 00:31:11,320
body is wanting us to do just that to

298
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:19,690
relax and to rest so it want to give us

299
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:27,780
it wants to give us that message it's

300
00:31:19,690 --> 00:31:34,150
also an opportunity for us to be able to

301
00:31:27,780 --> 00:31:41,350
look deeply at how we've been living our

302
00:31:34,150 --> 00:31:46,780
life and to make changes and now we have

303
00:31:41,350 --> 00:31:51,659
to go through this pandemic it's an

304
00:31:46,780 --> 00:31:57,580
opportunity for all of us to look deeply

305
00:31:51,659 --> 00:32:01,690
and to see how we've been living because

306
00:31:57,580 --> 00:32:05,200
surely what we are going through now has

307
00:32:01,690 --> 00:32:11,340
something to do with how we have lived

308
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:15,809
as a human species and when it is over

309
00:32:11,340 --> 00:32:19,590
how are we going to be are we going to

310
00:32:15,809 --> 00:32:22,929
are we going to live differently

311
00:32:19,590 --> 00:32:28,440
otherwise we cannot avoid having more

312
00:32:22,929 --> 00:32:33,250
pandemics so in a way this is a an

313
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:36,990
opportunity for us to wake up as a human

314
00:32:33,250 --> 00:32:43,270
species and to begin to do things

315
00:32:36,990 --> 00:32:46,440
differently and the first thing that we

316
00:32:43,270 --> 00:32:55,240
will learn is to come back to ourselves

317
00:32:46,440 --> 00:33:00,250
to rest to do less to have more time for

318
00:32:55,240 --> 00:33:08,289
our family now we are forced to do less

319
00:33:00,250 --> 00:33:11,190
we are forced to be with our family to

320
00:33:08,289 --> 00:33:16,740
be with the earth

321
00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:26,220
take care of the earth these are all

322
00:33:16,740 --> 00:33:28,830
things we can do better so we come back

323
00:33:26,220 --> 00:33:33,860
first of all to our body and we take

324
00:33:28,830 --> 00:33:37,740
care and by coming back to our body

325
00:33:33,860 --> 00:33:44,910
understanding our body we understand how

326
00:33:37,740 --> 00:33:51,660
it's not a separate self entity it inter

327
00:33:44,910 --> 00:33:55,640
is first of all your body into is with

328
00:33:51,660 --> 00:34:01,080
the body of your mother and your father

329
00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:06,780
and then of your grandparents and after

330
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:11,520
that your body into is with the forests

331
00:34:06,780 --> 00:34:17,690
the air that you breathe the food that

332
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:17,690
you eat the water that you drink

333
00:34:22,179 --> 00:34:28,690
and after we have come back to our body

334
00:34:24,940 --> 00:34:32,139
and recognize its interbeing nature and

335
00:34:28,690 --> 00:34:38,649
we take better care of our body we

336
00:34:32,139 --> 00:34:42,879
recognize our feelings we really want to

337
00:34:38,649 --> 00:34:47,919
have pleasant feelings we don't want to

338
00:34:42,879 --> 00:34:51,399
have unpleasant feelings but for as long

339
00:34:47,919 --> 00:34:55,899
as there are pleasant feelings there

340
00:34:51,399 --> 00:34:59,829
will also be unpleasant feelings so we

341
00:34:55,899 --> 00:35:05,140
cannot hope one day there will be no

342
00:34:59,829 --> 00:35:09,819
more unpleasant feeling once somebody

343
00:35:05,140 --> 00:35:13,210
said to me or you'd say if you don't

344
00:35:09,819 --> 00:35:16,390
have unpleasant feelings you can't have

345
00:35:13,210 --> 00:35:19,720
Pleasant feelings then I don't mind not

346
00:35:16,390 --> 00:35:22,800
having Pleasant feelings as long as I

347
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:28,750
don't have to have unpleasant feelings

348
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:31,420
but who is going to be God and organize

349
00:35:28,750 --> 00:35:41,680
the species that doesn't have feelings

350
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:44,140
anymore that is not possible so we we

351
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:48,640
know that unpleasant feelings are part

352
00:35:44,140 --> 00:35:57,549
of life and they need our care and our

353
00:35:48,640 --> 00:36:04,210
attention they don't need us to push

354
00:35:57,549 --> 00:36:07,150
them out of the door say you are in

355
00:36:04,210 --> 00:36:11,079
confinement you are sitting in your flat

356
00:36:07,150 --> 00:36:15,040
and in the flat there's a lot of

357
00:36:11,079 --> 00:36:20,819
unpleasant feelings what are you going

358
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:25,349
to do open the window and shoo them out

359
00:36:20,819 --> 00:36:25,349
they won't they won't go away

360
00:36:25,740 --> 00:36:33,980
first of all unpleasant feelings need to

361
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:38,600
be heard then

362
00:36:33,980 --> 00:36:46,660
to be recognized they need to be

363
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:46,660
acknowledged so you say my dear little

364
00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:58,550
frustration I know you're there I accept

365
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:09,680
you

366
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:12,340
oh my dear lack of energy someone said

367
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:18,710
to me in the beginning of the

368
00:37:12,340 --> 00:37:24,550
confinement she had so much energy she

369
00:37:18,710 --> 00:37:30,380
wanted to do so many things to help like

370
00:37:24,550 --> 00:37:33,230
organizing online Sangha practicing

371
00:37:30,380 --> 00:37:39,260
diligently every day listening to Dharma

372
00:37:33,230 --> 00:37:47,300
talks but after a while there's no more

373
00:37:39,260 --> 00:37:54,590
energy left no more desire to no more

374
00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:58,030
desire to listen to Dharma dogs so that

375
00:37:54,590 --> 00:38:02,690
is something only normal because

376
00:37:58,030 --> 00:38:05,990
everything is impermanent everything is

377
00:38:02,690 --> 00:38:10,970
in a wonderful state of change at every

378
00:38:05,990 --> 00:38:15,020
moment and sometimes we grasp hold of a

379
00:38:10,970 --> 00:38:19,750
moment and we want it to be like that

380
00:38:15,020 --> 00:38:28,700
forever but that is not the nature of

381
00:38:19,750 --> 00:38:32,869
how things are going to change so the

382
00:38:28,700 --> 00:38:37,210
first thing is to recognize that I don't

383
00:38:32,869 --> 00:38:41,350
have energy I'm tired

384
00:38:37,210 --> 00:38:46,090
what is the point of fighting against it

385
00:38:41,350 --> 00:38:51,000
it'll only make me more tired

386
00:38:46,090 --> 00:38:58,230
so I accept like that but just as the

387
00:38:51,000 --> 00:39:05,200
moment when the wave is at its highest

388
00:38:58,230 --> 00:39:12,090
it can feel happy but also when it's at

389
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:15,390
its worst it can also feel at peace

390
00:39:12,090 --> 00:39:21,310
because it knows that this is

391
00:39:15,390 --> 00:39:28,350
impermanent and it knows that whether it

392
00:39:21,310 --> 00:39:35,380
is high or whether it is low it is water

393
00:39:28,350 --> 00:39:40,590
all the same so when we are able to

394
00:39:35,380 --> 00:39:43,000
accept our tiredness our lack of energy

395
00:39:40,590 --> 00:39:49,620
we just live with it

396
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:55,020
follow our breathing and quite naturally

397
00:39:49,620 --> 00:39:58,960
it will change the energy will come back

398
00:39:55,020 --> 00:40:03,820
the peace will come back and then you

399
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:08,280
can continue to do the work you want to

400
00:40:03,820 --> 00:40:08,280
do to help others

401
00:40:14,140 --> 00:40:22,450
this has something to do with the

402
00:40:16,569 --> 00:40:30,190
practice of contentment the practice of

403
00:40:22,450 --> 00:40:37,359
knowing that I have inner maybe in your

404
00:40:30,190 --> 00:40:38,940
flat you have a plant which has green

405
00:40:37,359 --> 00:40:44,019
leaves

406
00:40:38,940 --> 00:40:48,940
you cannot go outside and you cannot be

407
00:40:44,019 --> 00:40:54,640
in touch with nature outside but you can

408
00:40:48,940 --> 00:40:56,739
be in touch with the plant you might be

409
00:40:54,640 --> 00:41:00,789
able to touch it gently with your

410
00:40:56,739 --> 00:41:07,180
fingers you can look at it you can

411
00:41:00,789 --> 00:41:10,559
contemplate it you can see that the

412
00:41:07,180 --> 00:41:15,009
plant is coming from the whole universe

413
00:41:10,559 --> 00:41:21,690
it coming from the rain is coming from

414
00:41:15,009 --> 00:41:27,009
the earth and when you look at that leaf

415
00:41:21,690 --> 00:41:31,749
you can also see that you are a kind of

416
00:41:27,009 --> 00:41:37,869
leaf you also come from the sunshine and

417
00:41:31,749 --> 00:41:43,470
you come from the rain so you and the

418
00:41:37,869 --> 00:41:47,559
leaf you have a great deal in common and

419
00:41:43,470 --> 00:41:51,160
if you look even more deeply you will

420
00:41:47,559 --> 00:41:55,720
see that you in turn are because the

421
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:59,499
plant is also breathing and helping to

422
00:41:55,720 --> 00:42:03,299
give more oxygen for you to breathe in

423
00:41:59,499 --> 00:42:08,700
and you breathe out the carbon dioxide

424
00:42:03,299 --> 00:42:14,680
for the plant so feeling our oneness

425
00:42:08,700 --> 00:42:19,569
with the with the universe feeling our

426
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:23,859
oneness with nature it's something that

427
00:42:19,569 --> 00:42:26,340
the human being can do because the human

428
00:42:23,859 --> 00:42:33,660
being is just part of nature

429
00:42:26,340 --> 00:42:38,820
it's not something different so touching

430
00:42:33,660 --> 00:42:43,800
a leaf you also touch the non beginning

431
00:42:38,820 --> 00:42:48,720
and the non ending you see that the leaf

432
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:52,560
does not really have a beginning the

433
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:57,900
plant comes from a seed and the seed

434
00:42:52,560 --> 00:43:07,590
comes from the plant that that was there

435
00:42:57,900 --> 00:43:13,320
before it and in the same way you have

436
00:43:07,590 --> 00:43:20,480
no beginning and you have no end before

437
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:25,560
we said that when you cannot see someone

438
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:30,330
you cannot hear someone you think that

439
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:35,550
they do not exist when someone you love

440
00:43:30,330 --> 00:43:40,710
dies you cannot see them you cannot hear

441
00:43:35,550 --> 00:43:47,190
them in Vietnamese when someone dies

442
00:43:40,710 --> 00:43:49,560
they say hiding behind the mountain but

443
00:43:47,190 --> 00:43:53,490
hiding behind the mountain doesn't mean

444
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:58,550
to say that that person is not it's not

445
00:43:53,490 --> 00:44:03,420
there it just means to say oh we can't

446
00:43:58,550 --> 00:44:15,200
see you anymore we can't hear you

447
00:44:03,420 --> 00:44:19,800
anymore and we can experience that for

448
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:27,210
ourself how to be in touch with someone

449
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:31,700
who has who has died because that person

450
00:44:27,210 --> 00:44:35,390
is always there in our consciousness is

451
00:44:31,700 --> 00:44:35,390
available to us

452
00:44:37,180 --> 00:44:47,780
and it may take a long time to really be

453
00:44:44,930 --> 00:44:53,630
in touch with your loved one who has

454
00:44:47,780 --> 00:44:59,270
died it may take years three years or

455
00:44:53,630 --> 00:45:04,700
four years so we do not need to be in a

456
00:44:59,270 --> 00:45:06,890
hurry in order to end our grief we

457
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:11,720
should recognize that grief is something

458
00:45:06,890 --> 00:45:19,190
natural but all the time when we feel

459
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:26,270
grief we are practicing to be able to go

460
00:45:19,190 --> 00:45:33,260
beyond the idea of being and bonding to

461
00:45:26,270 --> 00:45:39,320
go beyond the idea of the and and so to

462
00:45:33,260 --> 00:45:44,090
be able to see that even when we thought

463
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:49,010
that person existed and was alive they

464
00:45:44,090 --> 00:45:55,420
weren't really alive in the way that we

465
00:45:49,010 --> 00:46:02,680
thought they were they were manifesting

466
00:45:55,420 --> 00:46:10,820
to our consciousness manifesting to our

467
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:14,090
visual cortex to Audio cortex but they

468
00:46:10,820 --> 00:46:18,080
were not real in the way that we thought

469
00:46:14,090 --> 00:46:22,730
they were real and now when they have

470
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:33,490
died they are not going out of being

471
00:46:22,730 --> 00:46:38,090
into internal nandi so that is our our

472
00:46:33,490 --> 00:46:45,260
practice of looking deeply our practice

473
00:46:38,090 --> 00:46:50,070
of inter interview when you touch the

474
00:46:45,260 --> 00:46:54,360
leaf you look at the leaf deeply

475
00:46:50,070 --> 00:46:59,690
you recognize that if your consciousness

476
00:46:54,360 --> 00:47:03,960
was not if there was not consciousness

477
00:46:59,690 --> 00:47:09,540
your eye consciousness your mind

478
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:15,660
consciousness then the leaf would not be

479
00:47:09,540 --> 00:47:20,310
manifesting and at the same time you

480
00:47:15,660 --> 00:47:24,750
recognize that the leaf has

481
00:47:20,310 --> 00:47:30,480
consciousness that the consciousness is

482
00:47:24,750 --> 00:47:33,720
in the leaf and not just in you and this

483
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:38,910
is also something that science is able

484
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:41,910
to demonstrate because someone who is

485
00:47:38,910 --> 00:47:47,700
observing who thinks they are observing

486
00:47:41,910 --> 00:47:52,580
a particle outside of them actually

487
00:47:47,700 --> 00:47:57,440
changes the nature of the particle as

488
00:47:52,580 --> 00:48:01,710
soon as you begin to observe a particle

489
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:04,440
the particle changes so the

490
00:48:01,710 --> 00:48:10,680
consciousness is not just in you is also

491
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:17,870
in the particle this is also an aspect

492
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:22,320
of interbeing for us all to be able to

493
00:48:17,870 --> 00:48:28,100
look deeply into and to be able to

494
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:31,080
overcome our our fear that we have

495
00:48:28,100 --> 00:48:39,810
because we see that we are a separate

496
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:43,050
self in in the suture there is the

497
00:48:39,810 --> 00:48:53,670
example of clapping clapping with your

498
00:48:43,050 --> 00:48:57,570
hands and obviously you cannot clap with

499
00:48:53,670 --> 00:49:08,220
one hand

500
00:48:57,570 --> 00:49:19,320
you need to have two hands so there is

501
00:49:08,220 --> 00:49:27,540
not a one hand that can tempt left there

502
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:33,720
is not an I who can clap we could say

503
00:49:27,540 --> 00:49:41,700
that the two hands clap but when we look

504
00:49:33,720 --> 00:49:45,570
deeply into our hands what do we see we

505
00:49:41,700 --> 00:49:51,930
see another system we see the bones you

506
00:49:45,570 --> 00:49:55,200
see the skin the flesh and if we go even

507
00:49:51,930 --> 00:50:00,380
deeper and we look into the cells of all

508
00:49:55,200 --> 00:50:05,210
these things we will see that there are

509
00:50:00,380 --> 00:50:11,270
mitochondria in each of this cell and

510
00:50:05,210 --> 00:50:17,610
those mitochondria they do not share our

511
00:50:11,270 --> 00:50:23,280
DNA our genes they are not really our

512
00:50:17,610 --> 00:50:30,600
self they come from bacteria a long time

513
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:36,440
ago so we will find out that there is no

514
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:36,440
separate cell that is that is clapping

515
00:50:44,119 --> 00:50:53,999
similarly the Buddha said do you want to

516
00:50:48,359 --> 00:50:59,210
overcome your fear of sickness old age

517
00:50:53,999 --> 00:51:05,579
and death do you want to see the end of

518
00:50:59,210 --> 00:51:14,190
sickness old age and death then ask the

519
00:51:05,579 --> 00:51:22,819
question who is it who grows sick who is

520
00:51:14,190 --> 00:51:29,749
it who grows old who is it who dies and

521
00:51:22,819 --> 00:51:39,869
normally we say I grow sick I grow old I

522
00:51:29,749 --> 00:51:46,589
die oh you and with that thought I grow

523
00:51:39,869 --> 00:51:51,900
old I die we become afraid but if we

524
00:51:46,589 --> 00:51:57,859
look deeply we will see there is no one

525
00:51:51,900 --> 00:52:03,319
who grows old there is no one who dies

526
00:51:57,859 --> 00:52:09,469
there is growing old there is sickness

527
00:52:03,319 --> 00:52:13,739
there is death but there is no one who

528
00:52:09,469 --> 00:52:15,869
grows old who is he yeah and that is

529
00:52:13,739 --> 00:52:19,680
what I like to practice when I am NOT

530
00:52:15,869 --> 00:52:22,859
well I asked myself who is it who is

531
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:26,819
sick and I see there is no one who is

532
00:52:22,859 --> 00:52:34,769
see there is sickness but there is no

533
00:52:26,819 --> 00:52:39,289
one who is sick times often told us when

534
00:52:34,769 --> 00:52:43,950
I was a novice in the do heal temple

535
00:52:39,289 --> 00:52:46,109
practicing under his teacher the master

536
00:52:43,950 --> 00:52:48,589
whose first name is Tong Lu second name

537
00:52:46,109 --> 00:52:48,589
is green

538
00:52:49,630 --> 00:53:03,530
one day they were in the garden hoeing

539
00:52:56,180 --> 00:53:11,960
the earth to plant the taters and ties

540
00:53:03,530 --> 00:53:14,570
Master was already advanced in age but

541
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:27,290
he still insisted on helping in the

542
00:53:14,570 --> 00:53:34,310
garden and he he was tired and he put

543
00:53:27,290 --> 00:53:40,010
the hole aside and said that soon I will

544
00:53:34,310 --> 00:53:43,760
not be tired anymore and then after a

545
00:53:40,010 --> 00:53:48,650
moment of reflection he looked at Ty and

546
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:59,000
he said but who is it who will not be

547
00:53:48,650 --> 00:54:04,250
tired anymore we have the idea I am here

548
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:09,250
now I'm tired and I'm not going to live

549
00:54:04,250 --> 00:54:14,390
much longer and when I'm not alive I

550
00:54:09,250 --> 00:54:19,310
will not be tired and all these ideas

551
00:54:14,390 --> 00:54:23,750
they come from the idea of a separate

552
00:54:19,310 --> 00:54:29,660
self but when you look at deeply at that

553
00:54:23,750 --> 00:54:33,200
separate self you can't find it and it's

554
00:54:29,660 --> 00:54:33,980
changing at every moment from one second

555
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:39,230
to the next

556
00:54:33,980 --> 00:54:42,890
it's not the same so even though I was

557
00:54:39,230 --> 00:54:46,340
only a novice he received the

558
00:54:42,890 --> 00:54:50,560
transmission of that teaching it went

559
00:54:46,340 --> 00:54:50,560
very deep in the life

560
00:55:08,220 --> 00:55:11,460
[Music]

561
00:55:16,589 --> 00:55:45,150
I have seen people die and I have seen

562
00:55:41,039 --> 00:55:53,309
that the moment of death can be a moment

563
00:55:45,150 --> 00:55:59,269
of deep peace and sometimes before that

564
00:55:53,309 --> 00:55:59,269
moment comes there is quite a struggle

565
00:56:01,130 --> 00:56:09,539
it's difficult sometimes for the body to

566
00:56:05,969 --> 00:56:13,319
give up but maybe it's even more

567
00:56:09,539 --> 00:56:21,089
difficult for for for the mind from

568
00:56:13,319 --> 00:56:29,219
Manas to give up but with the practice

569
00:56:21,089 --> 00:56:33,809
of breathing the practice of recognizing

570
00:56:29,219 --> 00:56:41,779
there is death but there is no one who

571
00:56:33,809 --> 00:56:48,479
who dies is possible - to let go and

572
00:56:41,779 --> 00:56:52,170
even if someone has not practiced those

573
00:56:48,479 --> 00:56:58,319
who are with the dying person can

574
00:56:52,170 --> 00:57:08,219
practice for them so that is another

575
00:56:58,319 --> 00:57:13,559
wonderful aspect of into being that the

576
00:57:08,219 --> 00:57:22,229
way our state of mind is is able to

577
00:57:13,559 --> 00:57:26,279
influence those who we are with that is

578
00:57:22,229 --> 00:57:30,000
why we need the Sangha and you really

579
00:57:26,279 --> 00:57:34,830
need your online Sangha

580
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:39,510
this time you do not have to be with

581
00:57:34,830 --> 00:57:50,369
somebody in the same room in order to be

582
00:57:39,510 --> 00:57:55,800
able to connect with that person I think

583
00:57:50,369 --> 00:58:01,080
that now we can we can sit still we can

584
00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:08,940
enjoy our breathing and if we light we

585
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:16,740
can close our eyes we can feel how we

586
00:58:08,940 --> 00:58:20,130
are connected with our large Sangha we

587
00:58:16,740 --> 00:58:24,660
can feel how we are connected to the

588
00:58:20,130 --> 00:58:31,320
monks and nuns in plum village as we

589
00:58:24,660 --> 00:58:38,940
breathe in and out we can feel the

590
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:44,730
energy of those who are practicing with

591
00:58:38,940 --> 00:58:51,990
us at this moment and we can use that

592
00:58:44,730 --> 00:58:59,580
energy in order to be able to send it to

593
00:58:51,990 --> 00:59:04,640
our loved ones who need it we can say to

594
00:58:59,580 --> 00:59:11,660
our loved ones who need our energy I'm

595
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:15,180
sending the Sangha energy to you I'm

596
00:59:11,660 --> 00:59:17,450
sending the energy of plum village to

597
00:59:15,180 --> 00:59:17,450
you

598
00:59:25,860 --> 00:59:34,310
and when we hear the sound of the Bell

599
00:59:29,180 --> 00:59:38,750
all together we will be feeling our

600
00:59:34,310 --> 00:59:47,280
interconnectedness and sending our love

601
00:59:38,750 --> 00:59:51,500
our peace and our smile to support you

602
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:51,500
in sending your image

603
01:00:36,620 --> 01:00:44,660
energy moving across the continent to

604
01:00:40,850 --> 01:00:44,660
those who need it

605
01:01:26,750 --> 01:01:45,300
dear Sangha one of the attributes of the

606
01:01:32,810 --> 01:01:52,200
human mind is called grasping tomahto we

607
01:01:45,300 --> 01:01:56,610
have two arms two two hands to grasp

608
01:01:52,200 --> 01:02:02,400
things but there are certain things that

609
01:01:56,610 --> 01:02:11,280
we cannot grasp cannot grasp the the

610
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:14,370
spring breeze and with our mind it's not

611
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:18,810
only with our hands that we try and

612
01:02:14,370 --> 01:02:26,190
grasp things we also try and grasp them

613
01:02:18,810 --> 01:02:29,990
with our with our mind and a grasping

614
01:02:26,190 --> 01:02:29,990
like that it causes us to suffer

615
01:02:30,470 --> 01:02:42,210
especially when we find that we cannot

616
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:45,960
grasp what we wanted to grasp you know

617
01:02:42,210 --> 01:02:52,250
that plum village is in a wine growing

618
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:58,370
area so we have many vineyards around

619
01:02:52,250 --> 01:03:04,320
and most of them they are not organic

620
01:02:58,370 --> 01:03:12,690
vineyards where I am staying we have

621
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:19,910
been yard on two sides and other fields

622
01:03:12,690 --> 01:03:19,910
on other side and at this time of year

623
01:03:21,020 --> 01:03:32,240
the farmers come on their big large

624
01:03:24,780 --> 01:03:32,240
tractors and spray a lot of toxins

625
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:36,410
insecticide fungicide

626
01:03:37,829 --> 01:03:56,999
outside herbicide and the air is not

627
01:03:46,619 --> 01:04:05,969
good after they've in spray and I find

628
01:03:56,999 --> 01:04:11,729
that I grasp to this situation I grasped

629
01:04:05,969 --> 01:04:14,509
to it as something that has to end as

630
01:04:11,729 --> 01:04:17,339
soon as possible

631
01:04:14,509 --> 01:04:23,549
but obviously that is not going to

632
01:04:17,339 --> 01:04:27,660
happen if I look deeply I will see that

633
01:04:23,549 --> 01:04:30,059
it's going to take time for the human

634
01:04:27,660 --> 01:04:31,430
species not wanting to drink wine

635
01:04:30,059 --> 01:04:35,219
anymore

636
01:04:31,430 --> 01:04:38,509
and for the farmers not wanting to make

637
01:04:35,219 --> 01:04:38,509
their money in that way

638
01:04:45,220 --> 01:05:00,280
so this is what I know is that I can

639
01:04:55,810 --> 01:05:08,230
take care of Mother Earth with every

640
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:12,190
step and with every breath and I can

641
01:05:08,230 --> 01:05:18,130
accept the human species as not being

642
01:05:12,190 --> 01:05:22,990
perfect in accepting that the human

643
01:05:18,130 --> 01:05:28,089
species is not perfect I also accept

644
01:05:22,990 --> 01:05:31,500
that I am not perfect but I'm very lucky

645
01:05:28,089 --> 01:05:36,089
that I have the mindfulness trainings

646
01:05:31,500 --> 01:05:42,579
you have the five mindfulness trainings

647
01:05:36,089 --> 01:05:45,280
so you can be the kind of human being

648
01:05:42,579 --> 01:05:53,050
that can take care of the earth

649
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:58,349
I learned the verse when I was just

650
01:05:53,050 --> 01:05:58,349
beginning to be interested in Buddhism

651
01:06:00,420 --> 01:06:12,520
nothing whatsoever to remove from this

652
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:15,550
not a single thing there on to add

653
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:22,109
nothing to take away no increase no

654
01:06:15,550 --> 01:06:27,720
degree not a single thing to add

655
01:06:22,109 --> 01:06:35,010
properly beholding properly looking at

656
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:38,010
the true nature when truly seen complete

657
01:06:35,010 --> 01:06:38,010

659
01:06:48,549 --> 01:06:59,069
from this no single thing there are

property holding true nature

661
01:07:10,199 --> 01:07:39,569
when truly seen completely nothing to

662
01:07:28,140 --> 01:07:39,569
remove from this no single thing they're

663
01:07:45,539 --> 01:07:59,410

01:07:50,259 --> 01:08:00,959

[Music]

666
01:08:00,959 --> 01:08:11,769
and this is what we mean when we talk

667
01:08:04,150 --> 01:08:16,389
about the ultimate dimension in the

668
01:08:11,769 --> 01:08:22,409
historical dimension the human species

669
01:08:16,389 --> 01:08:27,449
goes up and goes down begins and ends

670
01:08:22,409 --> 01:08:31,569
and that is something we have to accept

671
01:08:27,449 --> 01:08:37,150
that is the impermanence but in the

672
01:08:31,569 --> 01:08:44,619
ultimate dimension nothing is lost but

673
01:08:37,150 --> 01:08:54,130
nothing is added every compassionate

676
01:08:58,480 --> 01:09:12,620
becomes part of a wonderful energy which

677
01:09:04,279 --> 01:09:16,069
cannot be lost every day with our

678
01:09:12,620 --> 01:09:21,460
practice of mindfulness our practice of

679
01:09:16,069 --> 01:09:28,569
mindful walking of mindful breathing we

680
01:09:21,460 --> 01:09:28,569
are able to touch the ultimate dimension

681
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:55,190
and touching the ultimate dimension we

682
01:09:40,370 --> 01:09:57,910
can be ourselves we can be the best kind

683
01:09:55,190 --> 01:09:57,910
of human being

684
01:10:05,420 --> 01:10:14,980
in order to touch the ultimate dimension

685
01:10:09,010 --> 01:10:14,980
we practice to be aware of interbeing

686
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:21,850
we practice mindfulness

687
01:10:28,550 --> 01:10:37,579
once you are no longer in confinement

688
01:10:33,070 --> 01:10:41,480
you will really have an opportunity to

689
01:10:37,579 --> 01:10:47,780
enjoy Mother Earth as you never enjoyed

690
01:10:41,480 --> 01:10:52,579
her before but maybe while you are still

691
01:10:47,780 --> 01:10:56,239
in confinement you don't need to go up

692
01:10:52,579 --> 01:11:00,289
onto the high mountain you can enjoy

693
01:10:56,239 --> 01:11:05,570
Mother Earth right away because she is

694
01:11:00,289 --> 01:11:14,659
there in the food you eat in the sky and

695
01:11:05,570 --> 01:11:17,630
