Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.59,0:04:41.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because the notions of \Nindividual and collective
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.50,0:04:46.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are also a pair of opposites \Nto be transcended.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.73,0:06:06.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And with that kind of insight, you cannot \Nbehave like the way many people behave,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.68,0:06:09.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,based on wrong view.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.51,0:06:14.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So to meditate is to see \Nthe nature of interbeing,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.39,0:06:22.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and not to cause suffering that is karma.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.91,0:06:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And your body is not \Nyour individual property.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.10,0:06:36.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It is also collective at the same time.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.40,0:06:41.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your body is a collective product \Nof your nation's,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.19,0:06:51.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you are not strictly individual,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.85,0:06:53.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you are partly collective,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.53,0:07:00.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it depends on a way of looking \Nthat you are more or less collective.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:05.80,0:07:16.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Suppose you say that \Nyou have your nerves,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.33,0:07:21.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your optic nerves behind your eyes.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.83,0:07:28.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your optic nerves look like \Nsomething strictly individual.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:32.27,0:07:34.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It only concerns you, \Nyour optic nerves,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.25,0:07:38.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is something absolutely individual.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.53,0:07:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People don't see it, \Nthey are not concerned by it.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:45.00,0:07:47.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It concerns only you.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.20,0:07:54.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is a notion of \Nindividual and collectiveness.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:54.69,0:07:56.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if you are a bus driver,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.45,0:07:59.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our lives depend on your optic nerves.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:59.63,0:08:03.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So your optic nerves are not \Nindividual any more,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:03.93,0:08:09.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they belong to us because \Nour lives depend on your optic nerves.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:10.44,0:08:15.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So your optic nerve is something \Nyou describe as individual
Dialogue: 0,0:08:15.38,0:08:18.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in fact they are collective.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:19.07,0:08:25.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we have the notion of \Ncollective karma and individual karma.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:25.33,0:08:33.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And any karma whether it is collective\Nor individual affects the whole.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:36.80,0:08:42.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the karma, the action \Nmight be better or worse.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:42.49,0:08:46.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When 600 people come for a retreat,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:48.23,0:08:53.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they read something together as collective action.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:53.58,0:09:00.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They do sitting, walking, breathing, \Nsmiling, sharing,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:00.80,0:09:07.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is a collective action \Nand we profit from that.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:08.21,0:09:13.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are those in the world \Nat this time they don't practice like us.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:13.59,0:09:22.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they drink and go dancing, and they \Nspend their time in a very different way.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:25.78,0:09:36.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we have been able to set aside \Nthree weeks to come together
Dialogue: 0,0:09:38.18,0:09:43.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we are sharing a kind of \Ncollective action here
Dialogue: 0,0:09:44.00,0:09:46.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we believe to be a good action.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:47.25,0:09:51.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because every day \Nwe water the seeds of mindfulness,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:51.63,0:09:57.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,understanding, compassion in us \Nand the collective.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:57.61,0:10:01.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in the collective, \Nyou can see the individuals -
Dialogue: 0,0:10:02.10,0:10:05.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are those that \Ndo better than some others,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:06.13,0:10:11.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are those of us \Nwho can find it possible to transform,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:11.65,0:10:19.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to leave behind the burden of worries \Nin the first five days
Dialogue: 0,0:10:20.25,0:10:25.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there are those who also \Nneed more than that,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:26.19,0:10:32.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,only on the third week that \Nthey can release, put down their worries.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.90,0:10:35.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So in the collective, \Nthere is the individual
Dialogue: 0,0:10:35.78,0:10:40.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in the individual,\Nthere is the collective.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:41.03,0:10:46.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there is no absolute individuality, \Nthere is no absolute collectivity.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:46.91,0:10:52.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is the truth. And that is why \Nit is another pair of opposites.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:52.77,0:10:57.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you practice looking deeply,\Nyou can remove them.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:00.43,0:11:07.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And you see that \Nany karma affects all of us.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:08.63,0:11:17.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Whatever good we are doing here \Nis helping the world,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:17.96,0:11:21.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we have to be confident that \Nthe karma is not lost.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:21.12,0:11:27.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,any thought of compassion and forgiveness \Nthat we produce not only can help us heal
Dialogue: 0,0:11:27.60,0:11:29.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but can help the world.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:11:29.59,0:11:37.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So during the 21 days, we have been \Nproducing thoughts of compassion,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:37.24,0:11:41.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of loving kindness, \Nthat is our best contribution to the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:43.36,0:12:00.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that is why our action of karma \Nis neither different nor the same
Dialogue: 0,0:12:00.45,0:12:05.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because sameness and otherness \Nis also a pair of opposites.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:05.66,0:12:08.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So right view lies in the fact that
Dialogue: 0,0:12:08.66,0:12:13.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you are able to remove \Nall these pairs of opposites.
