0:00:26.643,0:00:30.599
If there is no such a thing as death,[br]then why is it wrong to kill?

0:00:34.560,0:00:39.735
If there is no such a thing as death,[br]then why is it wrong to kill?

0:00:41.582,0:00:43.148
Very good question.

0:00:44.040,0:00:45.873
(Crowd laughs)

0:00:52.032,0:00:55.084
When you want to kill,

0:00:57.642,0:01:00.053
when you want to kill,

0:01:00.835,0:01:04.957
you have wrong perceptions.

0:01:05.716,0:01:09.004
You think that you can kill.

0:01:12.232,0:01:14.972
Suppose you want to kill a cloud

0:01:20.138,0:01:23.872
because you don't know[br]that a cloud can never die.

0:01:24.941,0:01:28.803
A cloud can only become snow or rain.

0:01:30.000,0:01:36.920
So the willingness to kill[br]is a kind of energy

0:01:38.069,0:01:41.700
characterized by ignorance,

0:01:42.081,0:01:43.620
wrong perception,

0:01:44.227,0:01:46.052
anger and violence.

0:01:46.663,0:01:49.554
That is why the act of killing is wrong.

0:01:49.800,0:01:54.006
Wrong because it does not have[br]intelligence, wisdom.

0:01:54.266,0:01:59.120
It has a lot of violence and suffering.

0:01:59.820,0:02:05.047
Even before the act of trying to kill

0:02:05.845,0:02:09.456
is already wrong.

0:02:12.391,0:02:15.859
What is wrong[br]can bring a lot of suffering.

0:02:16.546,0:02:22.277
Not to... not to the other person,

0:02:23.123,0:02:25.131
but to ourselves.

0:02:26.560,0:02:29.860
The person who killed Martin Luther King,

0:02:31.400,0:02:35.193
the person who killed Mahatma Gandhi,

0:02:35.877,0:02:39.749
the person who killed John F. Kennedy,

0:02:45.082,0:02:48.132
the person who killed Jesus Christ,

0:02:48.770,0:02:51.315
they were people who suffered a lot.

0:02:51.432,0:02:57.801
They had a lot of anger, fear, violence,

0:02:58.072,0:03:05.083
because they have a lot of ignorance,[br]wrong perceptions,

0:03:05.295,0:03:07.699
they think that they can kill.

0:03:08.119,0:03:11.144
You cannot kill Martin Luther King.

0:03:11.641,0:03:15.237
He becomes very strong[br]after your attempt to kill him.

0:03:17.284,0:03:22.118
Martin Luther King now[br]is stronger than before.

0:03:25.835,0:03:28.228
Suppose you want to kill a cloud.

0:03:28.228,0:03:30.246
How can you kill a cloud?

0:03:31.738,0:03:33.930
You lose your time.

0:03:34.175,0:03:37.002
So, your attempt to kill someone,[br]to destroy someone

0:03:37.426,0:03:39.848
will only lead to your suffering.

0:03:41.588,0:03:46.008
That is why we have to touch

0:03:46.213,0:03:49.055
the true nature of no birth and no death.

0:03:50.077,0:03:52.647
Someone who commits suicide,

0:03:53.079,0:03:56.185
that is an act bringing you[br]a lot of suffering.

0:03:58.026,0:04:01.467
Because he thinks[br]that he can kill himself.

0:04:03.382,0:04:06.599
But the fact is[br]that he cannot kill himself.

0:04:08.701,0:04:11.473
His attempt to kill himself

0:04:11.571,0:04:13.292
makes him suffer more

0:04:13.396,0:04:16.359
and makes people around him suffer more.

0:04:17.227,0:04:18.835
You cannot die.

0:04:19.076,0:04:21.472
You cannot kill someone.

0:04:24.440,0:04:27.677
So, Mahatma Gandhi is still alive

0:04:27.915,0:04:30.456
and he is very strong now.

0:04:30.740,0:04:32.821
He is in every one of us.

0:04:32.965,0:04:34.893
Martin Luther King also.

0:04:36.778,0:04:38.669
Jesus Christ also.

0:04:38.904,0:04:40.382
The Buddha also.

0:04:40.877,0:04:44.985
In his time many people tried[br]to kill the Buddha also (laughs).

0:04:47.154,0:04:52.406
So, the willingness to kill is suffering

0:04:53.420,0:04:57.984
because it has ignorance,[br]anger, violence in it.

0:05:02.008,0:05:05.895
Modern science[br]also agrees with the Buddha

0:05:07.151,0:05:09.963
that you cannot kill anything.

0:05:10.186,0:05:12.924
You cannot make anything disappear.

0:05:13.556,0:05:16.633
Nothing can die.

0:05:17.107,0:05:21.003
'Rien ne se crée, rien ne se perd.[br]Tout se transforme.'

0:05:21.211,0:05:23.296
There is only transformation.

0:05:23.653,0:05:25.181
There is no death.

0:05:27.622,0:05:31.844
On the appearance,[br]it seems that there is death and birth.

0:05:32.138,0:05:34.352
But if you go deeply,

0:05:35.468,0:05:37.512
you see that it is not true.

0:05:37.709,0:05:43.164
If you study science,[br]chemistry, biology deeply,

0:05:43.414,0:05:47.725
you will touch the truth[br]of no birth and no death.

0:05:57.838,0:06:03.659
