WEBVTT 00:00:00.618 --> 00:00:03.179 No sameness, no otherness. 00:00:04.030 --> 00:00:07.806 That is the nature of all that is. 00:00:10.655 --> 00:00:13.578 When you look into your family album, 00:00:13.697 --> 00:00:23.236 you see yourself as a five-year-old boy, a five-year-old girl, and you ask, 00:00:23.969 --> 00:00:30.387 "Am I the same person with this little boy or am I a different person?" 00:00:30.967 --> 00:00:33.966 Because now you look so different from the little boy. 00:00:37.652 --> 00:00:39.931 Your form, your feelings, 00:00:40.147 --> 00:00:45.120 your perceptions, your mental formations, your consciousness are very different 00:00:45.494 --> 00:00:49.100 from the five aggregates of the little boy. 00:00:50.691 --> 00:00:54.024 So you are not the same with the little boy 00:00:54.257 --> 00:00:56.122 that used to be you. 00:00:57.856 --> 00:01:02.334 But you are not a totally different person either. 00:01:07.765 --> 00:01:13.137 So the truth is you are neither the same nor a different one. 00:01:17.902 --> 00:01:22.136 We know that this plant of corn is the continuation 00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:27.502 of the kernel of corn that we planted several weeks ago. 00:01:32.471 --> 00:01:38.050 And the grain of corn is still alive. 00:01:41.073 --> 00:01:45.522 Even if we do not see it in the form we used to see it, 00:01:45.659 --> 00:01:48.160 it is always there. 00:01:48.278 --> 00:01:53.643 We cannot remove the grain of corn out of the plant of corn. 00:01:53.734 --> 00:01:59.747 It is there, in every cell of the corn stalk. 00:02:02.052 --> 00:02:06.358 Those of us who know how to look deeply, 00:02:06.987 --> 00:02:14.023 we can see the presence of the kernel of corn in every cell of the corn stalk. 00:02:17.141 --> 00:02:20.870 The same thing is true with our parents. 00:02:21.758 --> 00:02:26.197 We may think that our father has passed away, has died. 00:02:27.020 --> 00:02:30.029 But our father is always alive in us. 00:02:31.036 --> 00:02:34.609 We can get in touch with our father in every cell of our body, 00:02:34.713 --> 00:02:37.133 and you can talk to your father, 00:02:37.233 --> 00:02:39.743 "Daddy, I know you are there." 00:02:40.526 --> 00:02:44.121 So a conversation between the son, the daughter and the father 00:02:44.232 --> 00:02:49.812 is always possible, even if the image of the father you used to know 00:02:50.230 --> 00:02:52.614 is no longer there. 00:02:52.892 --> 00:02:57.284 So the form of the corn kernel is no longer there, 00:02:58.350 --> 00:03:02.958 but the kernel of corn is always there, 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.805 in other form. 00:03:10.023 --> 00:03:13.569 It is like this glass of tea. 00:03:18.311 --> 00:03:20.729 The tea in this glass 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.550 is the continuation of the cloud yesterday floating in the sky. 00:03:25.533 --> 00:03:28.613 So the cloud has not really died. 00:03:29.712 --> 00:03:32.744 The cloud has become the tea. 00:03:33.461 --> 00:03:36.460 When you look into the tea, you see your beloved cloud. 00:03:37.559 --> 00:03:41.745 "Hello, my dear little cloud, I know you are still there." 00:03:47.742 --> 00:03:53.483 The tea can talk to the cloud. The cloud is inside of the tea. 00:03:55.160 --> 00:03:58.725 "My cloud, you are my ancestor. 00:03:59.076 --> 00:04:03.506 Yesterday you were in the sky, and I was with you also. 00:04:04.286 --> 00:04:09.013 Now I am in this cup, in the form of tea and you are in me." 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:16.117 So the tea can talk to the cloud. 00:04:16.217 --> 00:04:18.928 The cloud has not died. 00:04:21.520 --> 00:04:25.206 We have learned that it is impossible for a cloud to die. 00:04:26.014 --> 00:04:29.778 To die means that from something you become nothing. 00:04:32.340 --> 00:04:35.304 But it is impossible for a cloud to become nothing. 00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:40.458 It becomes rain, or snow, or ice, but never nothing. 00:04:44.717 --> 00:04:47.356 That is not possible. 00:04:48.820 --> 00:04:53.434 If we look deeply into the heart of things, 00:04:53.667 --> 00:04:57.592 we found out that everything has the nature of no-birth and no-death. 00:05:00.078 --> 00:05:05.655 The cloud has not been born. It just manifests in the form of a cloud. 00:05:06.602 --> 00:05:09.512 The cloud has not come from nothing. 00:05:10.579 --> 00:05:15.766 The cloud has not come from the realm of non-being into the realm of being. 00:05:18.220 --> 00:05:23.894 Before taking the form of a cloud, the cloud has been the water in the ocean. 00:05:24.943 --> 00:05:28.010 So it has not come from nothing. 00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:32.680 The nature of the cloud is the nature of no-birth and no-death. 00:05:35.458 --> 00:05:40.053 Not only the nature of the cloud is like that, no-birth and no-death, 00:05:41.137 --> 00:05:44.786 the nature of everything is no-birth and no-death. 00:05:44.995 --> 00:05:49.965 Your nature. It is impossible for you to die. 00:05:50.814 --> 00:05:53.134 You can never die. 00:05:54.371 --> 00:05:58.364 And interestingly enough, modern science agrees with that. 00:06:00.894 --> 00:06:06.677 We think of the first law of thermodynamics. 00:06:08.602 --> 00:06:11.739 The law of conservation of matter and energy. 00:06:11.889 --> 00:06:17.420 We know that matter cannot be destroyed. 00:06:19.440 --> 00:06:21.715 Matter cannot be created. 00:06:21.816 --> 00:06:26.412 You can transfer one kind of matter into another kind. 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.260 You can transform matter into energy, 00:06:30.385 --> 00:06:34.373 you can transform one kind of energy into another kind of energy, 00:06:35.236 --> 00:06:40.380 and you can transform energy back into matter. 00:06:40.671 --> 00:06:46.052 But you cannot create matter or energy and you cannot destroy them. 00:06:46.642 --> 00:06:51.642 So the nature of matter and energy is the nature of no-birth and no-death. 00:06:53.437 --> 00:06:57.719 Antoine Lavoisier has said that very beautifully, 00:06:57.884 --> 00:07:01.117 "Rien ne se crée, rien ne se perds." 00:07:01.186 --> 00:07:04.780 Nothing is born, nothing dies. That is the truth! 00:07:08.997 --> 00:07:11.743 So our cosmic body- 00:07:13.145 --> 00:07:16.913 We have a physical body, but we have our cosmic body. 00:07:20.575 --> 00:07:23.339 Our cosmic body is the Kingdom of God. 00:07:26.103 --> 00:07:29.820 And in the Kingdom of God, nothing is born, nothing dies. 00:07:30.309 --> 00:07:33.056 The true nature of reality. 00:07:35.261 --> 00:07:38.721 We had a beautiful example yesterday. 00:07:39.765 --> 00:07:42.502 The image of a wave. 00:07:44.867 --> 00:07:51.833 When we look into a wave that appears on the surface of the ocean, 00:07:53.580 --> 00:07:58.378 we have the impression the wave is fragile, impermanent. 00:08:03.289 --> 00:08:07.677 The wave has her own body, wave body 00:08:08.207 --> 00:08:11.435 like we have a physical body. 00:08:11.829 --> 00:08:17.474 But the wave also has her water body, ocean body. 00:08:18.887 --> 00:08:23.307 And the moment when the wave realizes that she has an ocean body, 00:08:23.407 --> 00:08:25.904 she loses all fear. 00:08:26.176 --> 00:08:29.316 And she enjoys going up, she enjoys going down. 00:08:29.498 --> 00:08:35.079 She is no longer fearful, because she is capable of touching her ocean body. 00:08:38.667 --> 00:08:45.721 The wave suffers because she only knows that she has a wave body, 00:08:46.663 --> 00:08:51.778 she has a beginning, an end, she has to go up and to go down, 00:08:52.037 --> 00:08:55.285 she is not the other wave. 00:08:55.402 --> 00:09:01.086 All these notions, beginning, ending, birth and death, going up and down, 00:09:01.208 --> 00:09:03.923 make her suffer a lot. 00:09:04.089 --> 00:09:09.652 But the moment she realizes that she is water, her ground is water, 00:09:09.769 --> 00:09:16.850 she loses all these notions and fear and anger and jealousy, 00:09:16.955 --> 00:09:19.129 and she is happy. 00:09:19.220 --> 00:09:22.813 She enjoys going up, she enjoys going down. 00:09:23.749 --> 00:09:28.712 So when you touch your true nature, you are free from birth and death. 00:09:32.644 --> 00:09:35.426 Imagine a cloud in the sky. 00:09:35.556 --> 00:09:42.200 The cloud has his ocean body also. 00:09:42.696 --> 00:09:47.107 Because the cloud has come also from the ocean. 00:09:48.453 --> 00:09:51.599 The cloud has his cloud body. 00:09:52.183 --> 00:09:55.835 But it also has its ocean body. 00:09:59.568 --> 00:10:03.035 When we look at the cloud body, 00:10:03.175 --> 00:10:06.720 we have the impression that it is something fragile. 00:10:06.873 --> 00:10:09.142 Impermanent. 00:10:09.300 --> 00:10:14.704 But if the cloud realizes 00:10:14.842 --> 00:10:20.155 that he has a water body, an ocean body, 00:10:21.069 --> 00:10:26.245 then he is no longer afraid of dying because dying is impossible. 00:10:26.584 --> 00:10:28.901 To die is impossible. 00:10:29.213 --> 00:10:32.451 Interestingly enough, the teaching of no-birth and no-death 00:10:32.676 --> 00:10:37.777 goes perfectly with the findings of modern science. 00:10:40.306 --> 00:10:46.661 Things change but they are not born, they do not die. 00:10:47.256 --> 00:10:51.419 "Rien ne se crée, rien ne se perds. Tout se transforme." 00:10:52.682 --> 00:10:57.469 That is the first characteristic of the bijas, 00:10:58.569 --> 00:11:04.326 of the seeds in alayavijñana, store consciousness. 00:11:09.579 --> 00:11:14.950 We have blood ancestors. 00:11:17.107 --> 00:11:21.404 Our father, our mother, our grandfather, our grandmother 00:11:23.980 --> 00:11:26.664 that are alive in us. 00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:29.765 Don't think that they have died. 00:11:32.029 --> 00:11:35.416 It is impossible for the ancestors to die. 00:11:36.126 --> 00:11:38.783 It is like the grain of corn. 00:11:38.944 --> 00:11:41.927 She is always alive in the plant of corn. 00:11:42.052 --> 00:11:46.043 The plant of corn carries the seed of corn always with it. 00:11:46.640 --> 00:11:51.004 We carry our father, our mother, our ancestors 00:11:51.443 --> 00:11:55.687 in every cell of our body and we can talk to them at any time. 00:11:55.772 --> 00:11:59.104 When we walk, our ancestors walk. 00:11:59.205 --> 00:12:05.728 If you can make peaceful, happy, joyful steps, 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:13.029 our ancestors enjoy these happy, peaceful, joyful steps at the same time. 00:12:13.367 --> 00:12:17.972 So you do not walk just for yourself. You walk for your ancestors. 00:12:18.660 --> 00:12:23.274 And when you breathe in mindfully and enjoy the fresh air, 00:12:23.497 --> 00:12:28.574 your ancestors in you also breathe in at the same time and enjoy the fresh air. 00:12:29.692 --> 00:12:34.034 Because their nature is the nature of no-birth and no-death. 00:12:35.737 --> 00:12:43.958 We also have our spiritual ancestors, Mohammed, Jesus, Buddha, Abraham. 00:12:46.498 --> 00:12:49.873 We are the continuation of our ancestors. 00:12:50.047 --> 00:12:53.388 We have to find our ancestors in us. 00:12:53.486 --> 00:12:59.513 The safest space to be in touch with our spiritual ancestors is in us. 00:13:00.681 --> 00:13:04.046 If you are a good practitioner of Christianity, 00:13:04.141 --> 00:13:10.351 Jesus is always alive in yourself, because he is your spiritual ancestor. 00:13:10.946 --> 00:13:15.992 When you walk, he walks with you, when you breathe, he breathes with you. 00:13:17.498 --> 00:13:24.572 So Jesus Christ is always available in our daily life. 00:13:25.202 --> 00:13:29.635 The same thing is true with a Buddhist practitioner. 00:13:29.995 --> 00:13:33.660 If we practice mindful walking, mindful breathing, 00:13:33.788 --> 00:13:39.248 the Buddha in us practices mindful breathing, mindful walking 00:13:39.333 --> 00:13:41.498 at the same time. 00:13:41.630 --> 00:13:44.635 The Buddha is always alive in us. 00:13:44.729 --> 00:13:48.423 Jesus Christ is always alive in us. 00:13:48.842 --> 00:13:52.407 Because we have received the teaching, 00:13:52.568 --> 00:13:56.940 we are born spiritually from our root teacher. 00:13:57.067 --> 00:14:03.753 That is why it is possible for us to talk, to dialogue with our spiritual ancestors 00:14:04.023 --> 00:14:06.496 at any time. 00:14:07.177 --> 00:14:09.500 Like the plant of corn. 00:14:09.828 --> 00:14:13.681 She knows that the corn kernel is still alive 00:14:13.811 --> 00:14:18.226 and she can talk to the corn kernel at any time. 00:14:23.461 --> 00:14:30.593 In the case you had difficult ancestors, a difficult father, a difficult mother, 00:14:32.806 --> 00:14:36.614 in the case that there is a difficult relationship with the father, 00:14:36.706 --> 00:14:40.493 with the mother, with a brother, 00:14:45.953 --> 00:14:50.979 we can still talk to them and help them to transform in us. 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.703 This is a good practice. 00:15:01.829 --> 00:15:07.755 Suppose our father had a lot of difficulties, 00:15:09.756 --> 00:15:14.419 and there is a lot of suffering in him, a lot of difficulties in him, 00:15:14.544 --> 00:15:18.922 but he did not know how to take care, to handle, 00:15:19.022 --> 00:15:21.922 to transform the suffering in him. 00:15:22.968 --> 00:15:27.706 That is why he remains always the victim of his own suffering. 00:15:30.112 --> 00:15:33.403 And his suffering is transmitted to you. 00:15:36.382 --> 00:15:40.381 That is why sometimes you suffer and you do not know why you suffer. 00:15:40.491 --> 00:15:43.587 Because the suffering of the father has been transmitted 00:15:43.695 --> 00:15:46.623 to the son or the daughter. 00:15:47.917 --> 00:15:50.550 You can talk to your father inside, 00:15:50.774 --> 00:15:55.723 "Daddy, I know that you suffered quite a lot. You were not lucky. 00:15:56.419 --> 00:16:00.530 You have not met a spiritual friend, a teacher, 00:16:00.854 --> 00:16:03.661 and did not know how to transform it. 00:16:03.796 --> 00:16:07.386 But now I have the chance to meet a spiritual friend, 00:16:07.454 --> 00:16:10.101 the teaching and a teacher, 00:16:10.227 --> 00:16:13.984 and I'm going to practice in order to transform the suffering in me. 00:16:14.085 --> 00:16:17.149 That is your suffering also. 00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:22.061 If I transform the suffering in me, then you are transformed also in me". 00:16:22.296 --> 00:16:25.425 So everything you do for yourself, you do for your father, 00:16:25.489 --> 00:16:28.617 your mother, your ancestors. 00:16:29.409 --> 00:16:32.906 There are young people who are so angry at their father 00:16:34.275 --> 00:16:38.938 that they cannot talk to their father, they cannot look at their father, 00:16:39.392 --> 00:16:45.830 they can say, "That person, I don't want to have anything to do with him." 00:16:48.327 --> 00:16:51.712 There are young people who talk like that. 00:16:52.425 --> 00:16:55.809 It looks like they don't want to have anything to do with their father. 00:16:55.975 --> 00:17:00.872 But the truth is that they are the continuation of their father. 00:17:01.035 --> 00:17:02.984 They are their father. 00:17:03.108 --> 00:17:06.690 It is impossible to remove their father from them. 00:17:07.882 --> 00:17:10.821 It is like this plant of corn. 00:17:10.978 --> 00:17:14.321 Suppose she is angry at the corn kernel. 00:17:15.439 --> 00:17:21.591 And she wants to remove the corn kernel from her. 00:17:21.689 --> 00:17:23.987 It is impossible! 00:17:25.583 --> 00:17:29.021 That is why there is only one way to do, 00:17:29.368 --> 00:17:34.050 to recognize your father inside of you and try to understand the suffering 00:17:34.460 --> 00:17:37.614 and try to transform. 00:17:39.158 --> 00:17:42.534 There is that practice, 00:17:43.406 --> 00:17:49.249 Breathing in, I see myself as a five-year-old boy or girl. 00:17:50.433 --> 00:17:55.285 Breathing out, I smile to the five-year-old boy or girl in me. 00:17:57.433 --> 00:18:03.057 Breathing in, I see the five-year--old boy or girl in me is fragile, vulnerable. 00:18:04.564 --> 00:18:10.509 Breathing out, I feel a lot of compassion for that little boy, or little girl in me 00:18:10.676 --> 00:18:12.878 who was me. 00:18:13.695 --> 00:18:19.625 Then, breathing in, I see my father as a five-year-old boy. 00:18:21.282 --> 00:18:28.989 Because our father has been also a fragile, vulnerable little boy. 00:18:29.219 --> 00:18:34.547 And as a fragile, vulnerable little boy, he suffered also. 00:18:36.235 --> 00:18:39.590 When we are able to see the suffering of our father, 00:18:39.714 --> 00:18:43.494 suddenly our anger disappears. 00:18:46.206 --> 00:18:51.260 When we see the suffering and the origin of the suffering in our father, 00:18:52.652 --> 00:18:56.270 we don't want to punish him anymore. 00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:01.322 Instead, we want to do something, to say something to help him suffer less. 00:19:01.488 --> 00:19:06.821 Our anger has transformed into compassion. 00:19:07.414 --> 00:19:10.401 Meditation has that power. 00:19:10.535 --> 00:19:13.473 When you recognize the suffering, 00:19:13.669 --> 00:19:16.080 when you recognize the suffering, 00:19:16.165 --> 00:19:19.780 when you begin to understand the nature of suffering, 00:19:22.786 --> 00:19:25.182 in him or in her, 00:19:27.760 --> 00:19:31.856 compassion is born in your heart. 00:19:32.174 --> 00:19:36.258 And when compassion is born, you don't suffer anymore. 00:19:36.572 --> 00:19:39.545 You don't want to punish anymore. 00:19:39.690 --> 00:19:44.034 You can say nice things to him or to her. 00:19:44.264 --> 00:19:50.499 You can listen with compassion, you can restore communication. 00:19:51.031 --> 00:19:57.555 You can help him or her to suffer less and you can bring about reconciliation. 00:19:58.146 --> 00:20:01.330 And that can be done quickly also. 00:20:01.773 --> 00:20:10.517 We need insight in order to make compassion arise in our heart. 00:20:15.023 --> 00:20:20.499 "Daddy, I know you have suffered so much in the past, many years. 00:20:22.302 --> 00:20:26.246 I haven't been able to help you to suffer less. 00:20:27.657 --> 00:20:33.216 And I have reacted in such a way that have made you suffer more. I'm sorry. 00:20:33.878 --> 00:20:37.690 It's not my intention, daddy, to make you suffer. 00:20:38.385 --> 00:20:41.556 It's just because I haven't seen the suffering in you, 00:20:41.658 --> 00:20:45.237 I haven't understood the suffering in you. 00:20:46.642 --> 00:20:51.915 Please, father, tell me of your suffering, of your difficulties. 00:20:52.362 --> 00:20:55.177 Please, help me to understand. 00:20:55.269 --> 00:20:58.182 I know that if I understand your suffering, 00:20:58.658 --> 00:21:03.230 I will not react like I have and make you suffer more. 00:21:03.377 --> 00:21:05.304 Please, help me." 00:21:05.463 --> 00:21:08.849 That is the kind of speech called loving speech. 00:21:08.934 --> 00:21:12.524 You can use it when there is compassion in your heart. 00:21:12.616 --> 00:21:15.456 When you speak like that, he will open his heart 00:21:15.602 --> 00:21:20.160 and tell you about what is in his heart. 00:21:20.262 --> 00:21:24.491 And that practice of deep listening is very healing. 00:21:25.125 --> 00:21:28.976 Listening with compassion you make a person suffer less. 00:21:30.405 --> 00:21:34.878 Then, you can restore communication and heal the wounds. 00:21:35.453 --> 00:21:46.045 Even if your father is no longer in the form you used to recognize. 00:21:48.158 --> 00:21:52.683 Many decades ago, two decades ago, there was a young American 00:21:52.942 --> 00:21:57.007 who came to the Upper Hamlet here to practice. 00:21:57.995 --> 00:22:04.089 He had his homework, to write a love letter to his mother. 00:22:05.887 --> 00:22:10.074 You do walking meditation, sitting meditation for 2 or 3 days, 00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:14.939 reflecting on your mother, 00:22:15.038 --> 00:22:20.034 and then you sit down and write a love letter. That is a meditation. 00:22:22.765 --> 00:22:25.480 And he was able to write a wonderful letter 00:22:25.613 --> 00:22:30.104 and reported that in the beginning, he was very doubtful. 00:22:30.450 --> 00:22:36.184 Because he was angry at his mother. He couldn't communicate with his mother. 00:22:36.370 --> 00:22:39.260 But because it's an exercise of meditation, 00:22:39.382 --> 00:22:42.049 he had to write a letter. 00:22:42.246 --> 00:22:44.235 But in order to write the letter, 00:22:44.343 --> 00:22:48.458 he had to practice breathing in and out and calm his emotions. 00:22:48.575 --> 00:22:51.568 And look into reality as it is. 00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:57.356 So during those 2 or 3 days he found out many virtues of his mother. 00:22:58.984 --> 00:23:02.506 Because when you are angry at someone, 00:23:02.634 --> 00:23:05.902 you only remember what is not pleasant in him or in her. 00:23:06.217 --> 00:23:12.233 But when you have enough time to look, you can discover many wonderful things 00:23:12.363 --> 00:23:14.414 in him or in her. 00:23:14.578 --> 00:23:20.532 So with that kind of discovery, he was able to write a very beautiful letter. 00:23:23.282 --> 00:23:27.365 After having finished the letter, he felt wonderful. 00:23:28.235 --> 00:23:33.900 He had found, he had rediscovered his mother again. 00:23:35.327 --> 00:23:38.103 He has a new mother. 00:23:38.300 --> 00:23:42.190 And when his mother read the letter, she was transformed. 00:23:42.576 --> 00:23:46.478 She rediscovered a beloved son. 00:23:47.691 --> 00:23:50.260 And he was healed. 00:23:50.393 --> 00:23:54.253 They were able to reconcile just because of one letter. 00:23:54.405 --> 00:23:57.749 She wrote to him, 00:23:59.364 --> 00:24:04.560 "My son, I'm so happy that you wrote that letter. 00:24:05.528 --> 00:24:08.769 I rediscovered my beloved son. 00:24:08.914 --> 00:24:11.381 I'm very proud of you. 00:24:12.379 --> 00:24:19.419 I want to write a letter like that to my mom. 00:24:20.415 --> 00:24:22.964 Your grandma. 00:24:24.787 --> 00:24:28.438 Because I did have difficulties with your grandma. 00:24:30.129 --> 00:24:34.744 But now she has passed away, I have no chance to write such a letter. 00:24:38.749 --> 00:24:44.190 That is why the condition is no longer possible, when the other person has died." 00:24:44.824 --> 00:24:47.753 The young man in Upper Hamlet wrote back and said, 00:24:47.912 --> 00:24:51.570 "Mother, write it anyway, because my grandma is always alive in you. 00:24:51.760 --> 00:24:53.660 (Laughter) 00:24:53.910 --> 00:24:57.462 If you sit down and look deeply you will see 00:24:57.589 --> 00:25:01.029 that grandma is always present in every cell of your body. 00:25:01.413 --> 00:25:06.067 And as you continue and begin to write the letter, 00:25:06.199 --> 00:25:10.397 my grandma will begin to read it right away." 00:25:10.531 --> 00:25:15.279 That is possible with the insight of no-birth and no-death. 00:25:16.242 --> 00:25:21.919 The non-duality between father and son, mother and daughter and so on. 00:25:22.002 --> 00:25:24.014 It's wonderful! 00:25:25.870 --> 00:25:30.558 The restoration of communication, the reconciliation with other person 00:25:30.652 --> 00:25:34.047 can take place in just a few days of practice. 00:25:37.324 --> 00:25:39.809 So if you have some difficulties 00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:43.023 in your relationships with your father, your mother, 00:25:43.117 --> 00:25:45.679 with your partner, 00:25:45.788 --> 00:25:49.123 do not allow the situation to continue. 00:25:49.218 --> 00:25:52.677 With the practice we can transform the situation. 00:25:54.027 --> 00:25:58.359 The practice of mindful breathing, the practice of mindful walking, 00:26:00.011 --> 00:26:04.443 will calm down our feelings, our emotions 00:26:04.598 --> 00:26:08.636 and allow us to look deeply and to rediscover 00:26:11.925 --> 00:26:17.354 and restore our beautiful relationship.
