Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.78,0:04:15.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In our first Dharma talk we heard about\Nthat a little bit from Sister Doan Nghiem.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.40,0:04:26.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it was Thay who showed us the link\Nbetween mindfulness and precepts.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.49,0:04:36.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that the practice of the precepts\Nis really the practice of mindfulness,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.52,0:04:42.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because the precepts really heighten\Nour awareness of our actions
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.44,0:04:48.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of body, speech and mind that could bring\Nsuffering to ourselves and to other people.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.47,0:04:59.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The precepts, I call them the Dharma doors,\Nthey are different Dharma doors,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.30,0:05:02.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,each one of the precepts is a Dharma door
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.93,0:05:08.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that help us to experience
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.60,0:05:14.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what is happening in the present moment\Nin ourselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.93,0:05:21.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are like an MRI\Nthat help us to see our mind.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.79,0:05:27.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In the lifetime of the Buddha,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.08,0:05:34.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he devised the precepts\Nfor us to practice.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.90,0:05:39.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And usually he devised these precepts
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.74,0:05:47.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in response to incidents that happened,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.33,0:05:55.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,incidents that the monks\Nand the nuns encountered

Dialogue: 0,0:06:00.52,0:06:04.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So incidents that happened\Nthat creat suffering
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.48,0:06:11.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for oneself and for other people\Neither now or later.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.94,0:06:22.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The precepts are really guidelines for us
Dialogue: 0,0:06:29.21,0:06:33.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to see ourselves, to go into ourselves,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.49,0:06:38.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be aware of the working of our mind.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.15,0:06:57.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And Thay instead of calling them precepts,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.30,0:07:02.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thay called them\Nthe Mindfulness Trainings.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.27,0:07:06.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that is what they are\Nto train us to be more mindful.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.24,0:07:12.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we have five trainings\Nfor lay practitioners,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.89,0:07:23.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have 250 for fully ordained monks\Nand we have 348 for fully ordained nuns.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.65,0:07:32.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I remember when I was a novice,\NI was a bit resistant to the trainings,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:32.40,0:07:37.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially to the idea that the nuns\Nhave more trainings than the monks,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.01,0:07:43.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it was one of the venerables\Nfrom Vietnam
Dialogue: 0,0:07:43.56,0:07:46.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who was teaching us\Nthe mindfulness trainings who said,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.94,0:07:50.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he was quite serious\Nwhen he said this, he said,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:51.87,0:07:57.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"The Buddha loves the nuns so much more,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:58.14,0:08:05.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because he devised\N348 mindfulness trainings for the nuns
Dialogue: 0,0:08:05.84,0:08:10.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which means that the nuns have\Nmore protections than the monks."
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.27,0:08:15.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that really shifted\Nmy perspective on this,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:16.20,0:08:19.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we are loved, we are loved\Nby the Buddha
Dialogue: 0,0:08:19.96,0:08:23.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that we have\Nmore trainings for us to practice,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:23.60,0:08:26.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more trainings for us to...
Dialogue: 0,0:08:28.15,0:08:30.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,More Dharma doors for us
Dialogue: 0,0:08:31.81,0:08:38.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to experience the present moment,\Nto experience and to see ourselves deeply.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:40.66,0:08:43.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,More protection for us.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:44.25,0:08:47.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it was just a matter of perspective
Dialogue: 0,0:08:48.04,0:08:52.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that changed completely my idea\Nabout the mindfulness trainings.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:53.86,0:08:59.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So during the war we have learned that,\Nduring the war in Vietnam,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:00.06,0:09:03.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the midst of all the atrocities
Dialogue: 0,0:09:03.93,0:09:07.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the suffering and the violence\Nthat was happening
Dialogue: 0,0:09:08.92,0:09:14.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thay devised the 14 mindfulness trainings\Nfor us to practice.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:16.10,0:09:21.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They were also in response to the\Nsituation that was happening in Vietnam
Dialogue: 0,0:09:21.27,0:09:24.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also in the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:32.93,0:09:40.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The war, those of you\Nwho have been in it know
Dialogue: 0,0:09:44.89,0:09:48.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the horrendous suffering, the fear,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:55.65,0:10:01.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that everyone is feeling, experiencing.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:04.91,0:10:10.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For many of us, the Vietnamese siblings,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:11.96,0:10:15.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,even though we may be born after the war,
Dialogue: 0,0:10:15.36,0:10:19.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I know the war\Nis very much a part of us.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:21.79,0:10:25.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know that is my case too.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.36,0:10:37.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I was born at the end of the war\Nand I didn't think it had an impact on me.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:37.77,0:10:45.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But one time there was a documentary\Nof Sister Chan Khong and her work.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:48.46,0:10:55.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it was shown like a preview for her\Nand some of the monastics.
Dialogue: 0,0:10:55.64,0:11:00.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I went in, and right in the middle\Nof the documentary
Dialogue: 0,0:11:01.12,0:11:08.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there was a scene where there was fighting\N
Dialogue: 0,0:11:08.63,0:11:11.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Sister Chan Khong's voice\Nin the background
Dialogue: 0,0:11:11.78,0:11:14.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the scene was killing and fighting.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:14.72,0:11:18.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And at that moment I felt a lot of tension\Nand I couldn't even breathe.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:19.07,0:11:21.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought, "What's going on?".
Dialogue: 0,0:11:21.72,0:11:24.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I had to leave the room\Nafter five minutes.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:24.45,0:11:26.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I couldn't bear it anymore.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:26.97,0:11:29.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I went out and\NI was really perplexed about it,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:29.93,0:11:31.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:32.48,0:11:35.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"What is happening in me?"
Dialogue: 0,0:11:35.62,0:11:40.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I breathed and\NI practiced walking meditation
Dialogue: 0,0:11:40.95,0:11:47.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I realized that even though\NI didn't experience the war,
Dialogue: 0,0:11:49.54,0:11:53.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it had affected me very much.
Dialogue: 0,0:11:54.34,0:12:00.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And just seeing a scene of the killing\Nand the fighting in the movie
Dialogue: 0,0:12:01.14,0:12:03.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was enough to trigger
Dialogue: 0,0:12:04.64,0:12:08.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this fear and anxiety that I have.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:08.70,0:12:15.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I know a lot of my siblings\Nhave PTSD, not just veterans in Vietnam
Dialogue: 0,0:12:15.71,0:12:19.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but a lot of us have it.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:19.92,0:12:26.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We just have to sit\Nand look deeply into ourselves
Dialogue: 0,0:12:26.44,0:12:31.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we can see the presence\Nof the war there in us.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:32.58,0:12:38.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the Fourteen Mindfulness\NTrainings came about.
Dialogue: 0,0:12:42.58,0:12:45.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They are guidelines
Dialogue: 0,0:12:46.00,0:12:50.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to practice in the midst\Nof all the suffering.
