Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.89,0:00:36.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dear Thay,\Ndear Sangha
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.69,0:00:44.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have heard that a few months ago,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.79,0:00:50.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a monk ended his life
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.97,0:00:55.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in Plum Village.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.04,0:01:08.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I have this monk always in my head.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.88,0:01:12.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He was always smiling.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:15.77,0:01:18.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He was always wanting\Nto help other people.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.74,0:01:24.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I do not understand.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:26.46,0:01:28.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,My question is:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.39,0:01:35.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How can the daily\Npractice of your teaching
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.30,0:01:43.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lead to desperation and to suicide?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.10,0:01:57.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the time of the Buddha, there were\Nalso monks who committed suicide.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.30,0:01:58.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Did you know that?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.94,0:02:02.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You didn't.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.71,0:02:10.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Many of us come\Nto Plum Village and practice.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.02,0:02:13.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there are those of us\Nwho are capable of
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.61,0:02:15.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,transforming and healing very quickly.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.58,0:02:20.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And there are those of us\Nwho are very slow
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.10,0:02:26.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the practice\Nof transforming and healing.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.81,0:02:34.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if you stick to the practice,\Nyou have a chance.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.68,0:02:41.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you truly take refuge in the Sangha,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.69,0:02:47.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you try to practice wholeheartedly,\Nputting the practice into yourself,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.24,0:02:53.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you have more chance\Nto transform and to heal.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.06,0:02:59.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you just want to prove\Nthat you are a practitioner,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.13,0:03:00.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that is not good enough.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.60,0:03:09.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that is what happened\Nduring the time of the Buddha,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.48,0:03:12.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it will continue\Nto happen in the Sangha.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.75,0:03:16.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the Sangha there\Nwill be people like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.06,0:03:25.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we really take refuge in the Sangha,\Nget rooted in the brothers and sisters,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.49,0:03:38.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we will have more chance\Nto transform and heal,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.76,0:03:43.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even if we have that tendency,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.71,0:03:52.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that nature, of suicide in ourselves,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.28,0:03:57.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,transmitted by\Nmany generations of ancestors.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.73,0:04:09.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You bring that tendency, that seed\Nof society into the Sangha.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.69,0:04:18.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if you hide that from us,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.57,0:04:27.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we do not have a chance\Nto help you soon enough.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.77,0:04:30.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you do not have a chance.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.19,0:04:39.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So when you come to us, you should\Ntell us your suffering, your weakness
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.74,0:04:42.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and ask for help.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.32,0:04:46.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then we will know how\Nto generate a collective energy
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.02,0:04:49.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to help you deal\Nwith that specific question.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.86,0:04:51.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if you try to hide it,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.02,0:04:56.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then we do not know how\Nto help you in the beginning
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.78,0:04:58.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you lose your time.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.84,0:05:03.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You pretend that everything is good,\Neverything is going well,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:04.12,0:05:06.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until one day,\Nyou cannot do it anymore.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.43,0:05:13.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So things like that happened\Nduring the time of the Buddha,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.64,0:05:18.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, I think, will continue\Nto happen in the future.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.16,0:05:22.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have to learn the lesson.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.58,0:05:27.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that applies not only\Nto monastics, but also to lay people.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.84,0:05:33.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you come to the Sangha,\Nyou should take refuge in it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.34,0:05:36.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You should sit among us and say:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.64,0:05:40.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Dear Sangha,\Ndear brothers and sisters in the Dharma,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.08,0:05:45.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here is my pain, here is my sorrow,\Nhere is my despair.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.46,0:05:49.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Please help recognize and embrace it.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.72,0:05:53.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I need you, I need the collective\Nof the Sangha to guide me,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.45,0:05:57.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to lead me,\Nto help me transform.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.03,0:06:00.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That is our practice.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.80,0:06:04.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is called the practice of\Ntaking refuge in the Sangha.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.84,0:06:13.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Taking refuge in the Sangha is not\Na statement made by chanting.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:14.53,0:06:16.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Taking refuge in the Sangha is
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.47,0:06:19.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to truly believe in the power\Nof the Sangha to help you
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.80,0:06:21.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to open your heart,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.17,0:06:31.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ready to be embraced, guided\Nand instructed by the Sangha.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:42.16,0:06:53.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Bell)
