(Bell)

2
00:00:07,534 --> 00:00:29,985
[Could you come to my home country,
Poland, to introduce your teachings?]

3
00:00:31,553 --> 00:00:37,152
Dear the loving Thay,
dear beloved community,

4
00:00:38,693 --> 00:00:43,752
My name is Margot, I grew up in Poland,

5
00:00:43,993 --> 00:00:47,176
but I live in the United States now.

6
00:00:49,613 --> 00:00:58,079
First of all, I would like
to express my enormous gratitude

7
00:00:58,806 --> 00:01:06,325
for the deep deep teachings
and the practice

8
00:01:06,714 --> 00:01:10,714
that allowed me to change my life

9
00:01:10,864 --> 00:01:12,552
heal my life.

10
00:01:16,911 --> 00:01:19,982
My parents were children of the war.

11
00:01:20,164 --> 00:01:23,267
So I knew the war through them.

12
00:01:23,737 --> 00:01:27,080
And when I found your teaching

13
00:01:28,857 --> 00:01:33,582
it allowed me to sit with this suffering,

14
00:01:33,752 --> 00:01:36,837
they sufferings and my sufferings

15
00:01:37,152 --> 00:01:39,535
and transform it.

16
00:01:40,842 --> 00:01:43,592
But when I go back to Poland,

17
00:01:43,732 --> 00:01:46,759
I still feel that energy.

18
00:01:47,136 --> 00:01:50,674
I also feel the energy like in the U.S.

19
00:01:50,794 --> 00:01:54,204
of the native American
brothers and sisters.

20
00:01:54,394 --> 00:02:02,414
But they have you,
and my deep desire would be

21
00:02:02,704 --> 00:02:09,601
to bring the teachings
to Eastern Europe, to Poland.

22
00:02:12,144 --> 00:02:15,019
So the next question is

23
00:02:15,169 --> 00:02:22,721
if you would ever consider
coming to Poland?

24
00:02:22,943 --> 00:02:25,312
(Laughter)

25
00:02:26,702 --> 00:02:31,671
To introduce the teachings

26
00:02:32,763 --> 00:02:38,693
to my brothers and sisters in Poland
who are still suffering.

27
00:02:41,182 --> 00:02:42,934
Thank you.

28
00:02:46,385 --> 00:02:48,415
Dear Thay, dear Sangha,

29
00:02:48,635 --> 00:02:53,095
our friend Margot is very grateful
to Thay and the teachings

30
00:02:53,175 --> 00:02:55,775
for the healing
that has brought to her life.

31
00:02:55,955 --> 00:02:59,751
She grew up in Poland
and now lives in the U.S.

32
00:03:00,545 --> 00:03:04,602
And the practices helped her to understand

33
00:03:04,812 --> 00:03:08,642
the suffering of her parents,
who were children of war,

34
00:03:08,712 --> 00:03:11,133
possibly the 2nd World War,

35
00:03:11,282 --> 00:03:13,602
and the suffering of her country.

36
00:03:13,982 --> 00:03:16,182
Now in the U.S., she is also very aware

37
00:03:16,342 --> 00:03:19,965
of the suffering
of the native American peoples

38
00:03:22,162 --> 00:03:24,012
She would like to know

39
00:03:24,178 --> 00:03:26,646
if Thay would be able to go to Poland

40
00:03:26,746 --> 00:03:29,386
to help her bring his teachings

41
00:03:29,546 --> 00:03:34,336
to her spiritual brothers
and sisters to her country.

42
00:03:34,576 --> 00:03:36,823
Thay is in you.

43
00:03:37,106 --> 00:03:39,221
(Laughter)

44
00:03:40,126 --> 00:03:44,980
So if you go to Poland,
Thay goes with you.

45
00:03:46,991 --> 00:03:50,717
And with your practice
of mindful breathing, mindful walking,

46
00:03:50,887 --> 00:03:53,660
you will help so many people.

47
00:03:54,477 --> 00:03:58,450
And you also have your Sangha body.

48
00:03:59,007 --> 00:04:03,300
Try to persuade your Sangha body
to go with you.

49
00:04:05,252 --> 00:04:12,752
I think we have already gone
to Russia and other countries of Europe

50
00:04:13,682 --> 00:04:16,975
and offered the teaching and the practice.

51
00:04:17,602 --> 00:04:22,092
This is only a problem of continuation.

52
00:04:22,621 --> 00:04:27,221
So your Sangha is there,
take refuge in the Sangha

53
00:04:27,561 --> 00:04:32,063
and request your Sangha
to support you and go with you

54
00:04:32,283 --> 00:04:37,504
to Poland and to other
Eastern European countries.

55
00:04:37,873 --> 00:04:41,783
I think books of Thay
are already available

56
00:04:42,033 --> 00:04:46,202
in many countries, they are already.

57
00:04:47,473 --> 00:04:53,243
So please reflect on this
and discuss with your Sangha

58
00:04:53,383 --> 00:04:59,341
as how to make the teachings, the practice

59
00:04:59,571 --> 00:05:04,860
more available in your root country,

60
00:05:05,087 --> 00:05:08,341
and also other countries.

61
00:05:09,087 --> 00:05:12,217
This is possible with the Sangha

62
00:05:12,427 --> 00:05:16,424
Everything is possible with the Sangha.

63
00:05:18,830 --> 00:05:23,571
[connect,
be inspired, be nourished]

64
00:05:24,123 --> 00:05:30,841
