(Bell)

00:00:07.534 --> 00:00:29.985
[Could you come to my home country,
Poland, to introduce your teachings?]

00:00:31.553 --> 00:00:37.152
Dear the loving Thay,
dear beloved community,

00:00:38.693 --> 00:00:43.752
My name is Margot, I grew up in Poland,

00:00:43.993 --> 00:00:47.176
but I live in the United States now.

00:00:49.613 --> 00:00:58.079
First of all, I would like
to express my enormous gratitude

00:00:58.806 --> 00:01:06.325
for the deep deep teachings
and the practice

00:01:06.714 --> 00:01:10.714
that allowed me to change my life

00:01:10.864 --> 00:01:12.552
heal my life.

00:01:16.911 --> 00:01:19.982
My parents were children of the war.

00:01:20.164 --> 00:01:23.267
So I knew the war through them.

00:01:23.737 --> 00:01:27.080
And when I found your teaching

00:01:28.857 --> 00:01:33.582
it allowed me to sit with this suffering,

00:01:33.752 --> 00:01:36.837
they sufferings and my sufferings

00:01:37.152 --> 00:01:39.535
and transform it.

00:01:40.842 --> 00:01:43.592
But when I go back to Poland,

00:01:43.732 --> 00:01:46.759
I still feel that energy.

00:01:47.136 --> 00:01:50.674
I also feel the energy like in the U.S.

00:01:50.794 --> 00:01:54.204
of the native American
brothers and sisters.

00:01:54.394 --> 00:02:02.414
But they have you,
and my deep desire would be

00:02:02.704 --> 00:02:09.601
to bring the teachings
to Eastern Europe, to Poland.

00:02:12.144 --> 00:02:15.019
So the next question is

00:02:15.169 --> 00:02:22.721
if you would ever consider
coming to Poland?

00:02:22.943 --> 00:02:25.312
(Laughter)

00:02:26.702 --> 00:02:31.671
To introduce the teachings

00:02:32.763 --> 00:02:38.693
to my brothers and sisters in Poland
who are still suffering.

00:02:41.182 --> 00:02:42.934
Thank you.

00:02:46.385 --> 00:02:48.415
Dear Thay, dear Sangha,

00:02:48.635 --> 00:02:53.095
our friend Margot is very grateful
to Thay and the teachings

00:02:53.175 --> 00:02:55.775
for the healing
that has brought to her life.

00:02:55.955 --> 00:02:59.751
She grew up in Poland
and now lives in the U.S.

00:03:00.545 --> 00:03:04.602
And the practices helped her to understand

00:03:04.812 --> 00:03:08.642
the suffering of her parents,
who were children of war,

00:03:08.712 --> 00:03:11.133
possibly the 2nd World War,

00:03:11.282 --> 00:03:13.602
and the suffering of her country.

00:03:13.982 --> 00:03:16.182
Now in the U.S., she is also very aware

00:03:16.342 --> 00:03:19.965
of the suffering
of the native American peoples

00:03:22.162 --> 00:03:24.012
She would like to know

00:03:24.178 --> 00:03:26.646
if Thay would be able to go to Poland

00:03:26.746 --> 00:03:29.386
to help her bring his teachings

00:03:29.546 --> 00:03:34.336
to her spiritual brothers
and sisters to her country.

00:03:34.576 --> 00:03:36.823
Thay is in you.

00:03:37.106 --> 00:03:39.221
(Laughter)

00:03:40.126 --> 00:03:44.980
So if you go to Poland,
Thay goes with you.

00:03:46.991 --> 00:03:50.717
And with your practice
of mindful breathing, mindful walking,

00:03:50.887 --> 00:03:53.660
you will help so many people.

00:03:54.477 --> 00:03:58.450
And you also have your Sangha body.

00:03:59.007 --> 00:04:03.300
Try to persuade your Sangha body
to go with you.

00:04:05.252 --> 00:04:12.752
I think we have already gone
to Russia and other countries of Europe

00:04:13.682 --> 00:04:16.975
and offered the teaching and the practice.

00:04:17.602 --> 00:04:22.092
This is only a problem of continuation.

00:04:22.621 --> 00:04:27.221
So your Sangha is there,
take refuge in the Sangha

00:04:27.561 --> 00:04:32.063
and request your Sangha
to support you and go with you

00:04:32.283 --> 00:04:37.504
to Poland and to other
Eastern European countries.

00:04:37.873 --> 00:04:41.783
I think books of Thay
are already available

00:04:42.033 --> 00:04:46.202
in many countries, they are already.

00:04:47.473 --> 00:04:53.243
So please reflect on this
and discuss with your Sangha

00:04:53.383 --> 00:04:59.341
as how to make the teachings, the practice

00:04:59.571 --> 00:05:04.860
more available in your root country,

00:05:05.087 --> 00:05:08.341
and also other countries.

00:05:09.087 --> 00:05:12.217
This is possible with the Sangha

00:05:12.427 --> 00:05:16.424
Everything is possible with the Sangha.

00:05:18.830 --> 00:05:23.571
[connect,
be inspired, be nourished]
