(FRENCH) What can I do
to make my friends not exclude me?
-
What can I do to make my friends
not exclude me anymore?
-
I think there are things we can do.
-
They don't want us,
they want to exclude us
-
but it is because they have not seen us.
-
But we can contribute a lot
-
to their games, their joy.
-
We also have talents,
-
we can participate, we can contribute
-
to their joy, their happiness.
-
I think we should practice
in order to have more freshness,
-
like a flower.
-
Pebble meditation:
-
breathing in, I see myself as a flower,
-
breathing out, I feel fresh.
-
So that kind of meditation
helps us to restore
-
our beauty and our freshness.
-
Breathing in, I see myself
-
as still water.
-
Breathing out, I feel peaceful
-
and calm.
-
So we practice like that and we have
-
peace and beauty in us.
-
And then, very soon they will see that
-
this person
is very pleasant
-
because he has a lot of peace,
a lot of tenderness
-
a lot of freshness
-
a lot of beauty in him.
-
When we exclude him,
he does not get angry;
-
he continues to smile.
-
He can be joyful
even if we exclude him.
-
So slowly they will see that to include
-
that boy into their circle
-
will make them happier.
-
So it depends on us, a lot on us,
-
not only on them.
-
They have excluded us
-
because they are not able
to see our value,
-
our beauty, our peace.
You see?
-
So the practice will help us
-
to be more beautiful,
more fresh,
-
more peaceful, more solid,
-
more joyful.
-
And they will need us surely
-
because in that group there is violence;
-
some violence, some anger, some fear.
-
So they also suffer in their own group.
-
And one day when we join into that group
-
we can help them to suffer less
-
and to have more joy.
-
That is why
the practice is very important.
-
Depends on us more than on them.
