00:00:09,326 --> 00:00:15,099
(Bell)

2
00:00:26,643 --> 00:00:30,599
If there is no such a thing as death,
then why is it wrong to kill?

3
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,735
If there is no such a thing as death,
then why is it wrong to kill?

4
00:00:41,582 --> 00:00:43,148
Very good question.

5
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,873
(Crowd laughs)

6
00:00:52,032 --> 00:00:55,084
When you want to kill,

7
00:00:57,642 --> 00:01:00,053
when you want to kill,

8
00:01:00,835 --> 00:01:04,957
you have wrong perceptions.

9
00:01:05,716 --> 00:01:09,004
You think that you can kill.

10
00:01:12,232 --> 00:01:14,972
Suppose you want to kill a cloud

11
00:01:20,138 --> 00:01:23,872
because you don't know
that a cloud can never die.

12
00:01:24,941 --> 00:01:28,803
A cloud can only become snow or rain.

13
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,920
So the willingness to kill
is a kind of energy

14
00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:41,700
characterized by ignorance,

15
00:01:42,081 --> 00:01:43,620
wrong perception,

16
00:01:44,227 --> 00:01:46,052
anger and violence.

17
00:01:46,663 --> 00:01:49,554
That is why the act of killing is wrong.

18
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,006
Wrong because it does not have
intelligence, wisdom.

19
00:01:54,266 --> 00:01:59,120
It has a lot of violence and suffering.

20
00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:05,047
Even before the act of trying to kill

21
00:02:05,845 --> 00:02:09,456
is already wrong.

22
00:02:12,391 --> 00:02:15,859
What is wrong
can bring a lot of suffering.

23
00:02:16,546 --> 00:02:22,277
Not to... not to the other person,

24
00:02:23,123 --> 00:02:25,131
but to ourselves.

25
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,860
The person who killed Martin Luther King,

26
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,193
the person who killed Mahatma Gandhi,

27
00:02:35,877 --> 00:02:39,749
the person who killed John F. Kennedy,

28
00:02:45,082 --> 00:02:48,132
the person who killed Jesus Christ,

29
00:02:48,770 --> 00:02:51,315
they were people who suffered a lot.

30
00:02:51,432 --> 00:02:57,801
They had a lot of anger, fear, violence,

31
00:02:58,072 --> 00:03:05,083
because they have a lot of ignorance,
wrong perceptions,

32
00:03:05,295 --> 00:03:07,699
they think that they can kill.

33
00:03:08,119 --> 00:03:11,144
You cannot kill Martin Luther King.

34
00:03:11,641 --> 00:03:15,237
He becomes very strong
after your attempt to kill him.

35
00:03:17,284 --> 00:03:22,118
Martin Luther King now
is stronger than before.

36
00:03:25,835 --> 00:03:28,228
Suppose you want to kill a cloud.

37
00:03:28,228 --> 00:03:30,246
How can you kill a cloud?

38
00:03:31,738 --> 00:03:33,930
You lose your time.

39
00:03:34,175 --> 00:03:37,002
So, your attempt to kill someone,
to destroy someone

40
00:03:37,426 --> 00:03:39,848
will only lead to your suffering.

41
00:03:41,588 --> 00:03:46,008
That is why we have to touch

42
00:03:46,213 --> 00:03:49,055
the true nature of no birth and no death.

43
00:03:50,077 --> 00:03:52,647
Someone who commits suicide,

44
00:03:53,079 --> 00:03:56,185
that is an act bringing you
a lot of suffering.

45
00:03:58,026 --> 00:04:01,467
Because he thinks
that he can kill himself.

46
00:04:03,382 --> 00:04:06,599
But the fact is
that he cannot kill himself.

47
00:04:08,701 --> 00:04:11,473
His attempt to kill himself

48
00:04:11,571 --> 00:04:13,292
makes him suffer more

49
00:04:13,396 --> 00:04:16,359
and makes people around him suffer more.

50
00:04:17,227 --> 00:04:18,835
You cannot die.

51
00:04:19,076 --> 00:04:21,472
You cannot kill someone.

52
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,677
So, Mahatma Gandhi is still alive

53
00:04:27,915 --> 00:04:30,456
and he is very strong now.

54
00:04:30,740 --> 00:04:32,821
He is in every one of us.

55
00:04:32,965 --> 00:04:34,893
Martin Luther King also.

56
00:04:36,778 --> 00:04:38,669
Jesus Christ also.

57
00:04:38,904 --> 00:04:40,382
The Buddha also.

58
00:04:40,877 --> 00:04:44,985
In his time many people tried
to kill the Buddha also (laughs).

59
00:04:47,154 --> 00:04:52,406
So, the willingness to kill is suffering

60
00:04:53,420 --> 00:04:57,984
because it has ignorance,
anger, violence in it.

61
00:05:02,008 --> 00:05:05,895
Modern science
also agrees with the Buddha

62
00:05:07,151 --> 00:05:09,963
that you cannot kill anything.

63
00:05:10,186 --> 00:05:12,924
You cannot make anything disappear.

64
00:05:13,556 --> 00:05:16,633
Nothing can die.

65
00:05:17,107 --> 00:05:21,003
'Rien ne se crée, rien ne se perd.
Tout se transforme.'

66
00:05:21,211 --> 00:05:23,296
There is only transformation.

67
00:05:23,653 --> 00:05:25,181
There is no death.

68
00:05:27,622 --> 00:05:31,844
On the appearance,
it seems that there is death and birth.

69
00:05:32,138 --> 00:05:34,352
But if you go deeply,

70
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:37,512
you see that it is not true.

71
00:05:37,709 --> 00:05:43,164
If you study science,
chemistry, biology deeply,

72
00:05:43,414 --> 00:05:47,725
you will touch the truth
of no birth and no death.

73
00:05:57,838 --> 00:06:03,659
