[Говорящий 1] (0:00 - 17:49)
So, we had a rough year last year. I think everybody knows that. And I was trying to think about the karma of, you know, why I should see these things.

And I was thinking, I thought about two promises I made to two of my teachers and I didn't keep them. I didn't do what I said I would do. So, one teacher taught me a very great book on emptiness for eight years, Geshe Tutor Rinchen.

And he taught me Tsongkhapa's great book on emptiness. It's a beautiful book. It's about 500 pages or something.

And then another lama, Then Rinpoche taught me Abhidhamma for 12 years. And I did a translation when I was 20-something. And I met the Dalai Lama.

It's by the first Dalai Lama. The commentary is by the first Dalai Lama. And I offered it to His Holiness, the current Dalai Lama, when I met him.

And he was really happy. Then after that, I learned so much more, I threw it out. And I never started it again.

I never finished it. So then I thought, oh, I should finish those two things. That's probably, in my own case, something I need to do to see good things happen.

So I started translating the book on emptiness. And in the spring I'll start the Abhidhamma course. So anyway, I'm about 50 pages into the emptiness book.

And I really like it. It's very, very beautiful. And I do a little bit every day and it makes me really happy.

Probably because I'm doing what my Lama asked me to do. So I wanted to give you a copy. So, there you go.

It's just a tiny bit. It's maybe 3% of the book. And it's very, very technical.

So, don't stress. Even if English is your first language, it'll be, which is not the case of so many people, it'll be difficult for you. But I bet if you sit with it, I find him very, he calms me down and he makes me think straight because his mind was so extraordinarily powerful.

So, don't try to read the whole thing. Take a page and read a page and then sit with it for a while. And then, you know, that's how you have to, you can't, these aren't meant to be read from page one to page 500.

You're supposed to read page one and then put it away for a couple of days. And that's the way we read books in the monastery. The first book we studied is the Abhisankara, 75 pages, 12 years.

So you don't just read it. Alright. If you see any mistakes, let me know.

That's another reason I'm getting some free editing. Yeah. Yeah, he's still very much alive.

He's good. He's teaching about 300 monks every day. Yeah.

He steadfastly refused to leave India. We've tried many times. I hope so.

He will not leave India. He will not leave his students. He refused many times.

We offered him riches and glory and he said no. He lives in a little shack. He won't come.

So we'll have to go there sometime. There's places in the footnotes that says, Ask Jigme. That's Venerable Jigme.

It's where I need someone to check the carving. Because all I have is the typing on the computer. So she's checking the carving.

She's working on the carving. Okay. Let's start the book.

There's a nice explanation in there of self-made Buddhas. Yeah, very, very beautiful explanation by Tsongkapa. Yeah, okay.

Yeah, you're welcome. I hope I get more done. I do it every day because it makes me calm.

It makes me happy. I do it on planes a lot. And on the floors of airports.

She checks in for an hour and a half and tries to talk them into taking all the siddhars for free. And then I translate on the floor. Okay.

He's just reaching maybe the most famous verse about lamas that was ever written. And it's very, very beautiful. So let's say it together.

Ready? GANG GIS In the red, okay. GANG GIS CING GIS DE'I PHYIR GNYIS SKYE PHYIR GNYIS LA CHAR BA GANG LAMA RIN CHEN LTA BUR GUS DOR BYAD CHEN ZHAG PAS LA DUS GANG GIS GCIG GNYIS DE'I PHYIR GNYIS means out of your kindness, you have granted me ecstasy.

Out of your kindness, you have granted me ecstasy in a single instant. In a single instant. Oh my lama, your body is like a precious jewel.

I bow to your lotus feet, holder of the diamond, keeper of the diamond. I think that's the most famous verse on lamas ever. And he's going to talk about...

Here's a pretty good one after that. Let's say it together. The next red thing.

Say GANG GIS THUGS RJE GANG GIS THUGS RJE DE BA CHEN POS DE BA CHEN POS YING GUS SUM GO PHANG GUS SUM GO PHANG CHOG KYANG CHOG KYANG SKYE GCIG LA SKYE GCIG LA TSUL MDZAD TSUL MDZAD LAMA RIN CHEN LAMA RIN CHEN LTA BUR GUS LTA BUR GUS DOR BYAD CHEN ZHAG DOR BYAD CHEN ZHAG DE MOR JAG SEM LO Out of your compassion, you have granted me the realm of ecstasy, the three bodies of a Buddha in a single instant. O Lama, your body is like a precious jewel.

I bow down to the lotus feet of the one who holds the diamond. So it's a very similar verse, but the other one is more famous, and I like it better. LAMA GANG GIS Then he's going to explain these two verses.

LAMA GANG GIS RGA BRDAN DANG THUGS RJE LAS Your Lama shows you this kindness. You should learn the word RGA BRDAN. Say RGA BRDAN.

RGA BRDAN It's B-K-A-D-R-I-N there. RGA BRDAN means the kindness of your teacher. It's a word that has no English.

It's specifically the kindness of your teacher, and it's unmatched. THUGS RJE LAS Out of your compassion, DE BA CHEN PO'I YIN The realm of ecstasy, CHUG TU DGOS PHANG The Dharma body of a Buddha. LAMA LA BSTAN TSUL TSUL SHING BYAS NAS If you serve your Lama properly, SKAD GCIG in a single instant, they will be able to give it to you.

Then he wants you to appreciate what the word SKAD GCIG means. Single instant. What's it mean a single instant?

If it takes a single instant, could I just have it now and then? I don't have to go to all these classes and stuff. GNIG SDU GNIG SDU is a good word to know.

It's not Nick. It's GNIG. GNIG means the dregs.

Like in tea, the bottom of tea, there's a little junk down there. Junk at the bottom means GNIG. GNIG SDU means in the days of darkness, which is what we're in now.

These are considered, the golden era is finished and supposedly the dark days are coming. Meaning most people are watching videos all day and they're not meditating, they're not doing yoga, they're not dancing. They're wasting their life.

They overeat and they drink and then they die. They end up in a hospital somewhere and they die. That's the life story of most of the people we know.

GNIG SDU GYI TSE DUNG GCIG means in one short lifetime. DER BAR MDZAD You have given me, you will give me this thing, Buddhahood. You can give me Buddhahood in one short lifetime, in the days of dark.

Because in previous eons on this planet, people lived much longer, like 10,000 years or like that. Long ago. There is a garden story in Buddhism, that the world began as a garden, perfect garden.

And people didn't eat and they had bodies made of light and there was no sun because you didn't need it. Because everyone's body just lit up the planet. Then things got worse and worse and there came this kind of honey on the earth and people started to lick it.

And then they started to have poop and they started to have physical bodies and the light kind of went away. And then things got worse and worse. And again, it's believed that it will end in a nuclear war or something like that.

That's the Abhidhamma. But in the beginning, people lived lives for thousands of years long. And now we're down to the shortest lifespans, which is under a hundred years.

Then it goes back up again. And that's another story. ,'DI SKAD CIG MA NI, ,MA NYA BA DANG, ,YANG PHRAD LHA TSAD ZAD LA BSTOD NA, You can also say that the word instant here is a reference to how time passes in other realms.

I always give the example of the dental chair or the drive-in movie. You know in a dental chair, he just seems like he's there for an hour and he's drilling and drilling and drilling. And then you say, okay, I got to go now.

And he says, okay. And he charges you for 15 minutes. And you're like, I was sitting there for two hours.

And he says, no, no, it was only 15 minutes. And time passes more slowly, right? I like to tell this story.

I was in Phoenix. I was with this girl in the car. We went to the drive-in because you can't make out in theaters so much.

And in Phoenix there was big drive-in movies. You drive your car to a big parking lot and there's a big screen and there's like 300 cars there. And you come up next to a pole and there's a little speaker on a wire and you take the speaker and you take it inside the car.

And then you bring your own picnic in the car and then you make out. And I remember one night we're sitting there, kind of sitting, and there's this knock on the window. We're like, ah!

And it's a flashlight. And then we look up and there's a guard. There's a policeman.

He's like, roll down the window. He says, you got to go now. And we're like, why?

And he says, look around. Look around, there's no other cars there. And the movie, he said, the movie ended like an hour ago.

I got to lock the gate. You got to go now. And we were like, no, no, it was only half an hour.

So time can change. Time moves at different speeds depending on what realm you're in. So he gives the example, nyelwar means in the hell realms.

In the hell realms time moves very slow. And that's down. Mar means down.

Yar means up in the ha, in the realm of the gods like Brahma or Indra. Time also, they live for thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years. They have some great karma.

And they live for a very long time. Lat tun na, compared to that, a human life, mi tse di kye chik tsam, it's nothing more than an instant. A human life, 100 years, 60 years, is nothing compared to a life in the hells or a life in the heavens.

For example, Bhagma Thogme Arya Sangha, his trip to Sita heaven. And then the Lama told the story of how Sangha went to Sita. And I think Nick told you the story, right?

So he was there for one afternoon getting the five great books of Maitreya. And when he came back 50, some people say 50 years passed. Some people say 53.

But anyway, I guess all his friends were old or gone. That must have been sad. Okay, I cut out the story and then Nick told you the story.

If you want the story, it's in the text. DER MA ZAD I'm trying to get to another story before we have to stop. So I'm watching the time.

Okay. DER MA ZAD RANG RES KHOR BA NGA'I PHYI LTA LA BSTOD NANG ZAD DUNG DI SKAD CIG TZAM YIN If you look at the number of lives you've lived in the past, and possibly the number of lives you still have to live, it's billions upon billions. It's endless.

It's actually endless. Your lives have been like one long spaghetti noodle with no end. Uneaten.

And compared to that, if someone could get you enlightened in 50 years here, then that's instant. LAMA BSTAN TSUL SHING MA CHUNG NA But if you don't relate to your teacher properly, if you don't serve your teacher properly, if you try to serve them and you do it wrong, or you disrespect your lama, GNAGS LAM MED SOGS CING DAG ZHIG BSTAN KYANG You can practice the highest forms of tantra, but SA LAM GYI RTOG PA CHUNG ZAD KYANG MI SKYE nothing will happen. Nothing.

You won't have any realizations. Nothing will happen. No progress at all.

You can practice the highest chakras and inner body teachings and all these things and nothing will happen. DE'I RTEN TSUL LEGS NA But if the way you relate to your lama is good, it doesn't mean you can't make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes with their lama.

Why? If you didn't make any mistakes, you could be the lama. The reason you're there is because they know more than you and they're supposed to help you and you're supposed to screw up and they're supposed to help you.

That's the way it goes. That's the idea. Otherwise you wouldn't need them.

So of course you're going to mess up. But in the end you should try to improve. DE'I RTEN TSUL LEGS NA If you do well with your lama, GSUNGS RGYUD KYI DGOS PA, SKABS PA MANG PO'I GRUB DGOS PA you can reach tantric enlightenment, which normally takes millions of years, and you can reach it quickly in one life.

What's tantric enlightenment called? Yeah, GSUNGS RGYUD, which means what? The union of the two.

Janice Joplin. Okay.

[Говорящий 2] (17:53 - 18:00)
I didn't say it. You say it. You know this song?

You don't want to hear it again, right?

[Говорящий 1] (18:01 - 51:33)
You don't mind? I'm not going to do it to you. No, we don't have time.

Anyway, that song is called the combination of two, which is GSUNGS RGYUD, tantric enlightenment is called. Combination two. What are the two?

Clear light and the rainbow body. Rainbow body and clear light. And we can't talk about it because it's a secret.

GSUNGS RGYUD KYI DGOS PA and SKABS PA So if you have a teacher and you follow their instructions, you can reach that in a single instant, meaning a single life. LAM RIM DU TSUL GNYING PO So there's a LAM RIM text called the Essence of Nectar. PHRAG MA'I RGAL PA RGYAL TSOR TSUN PA RGYAS You can work for the number of eons that equal the drops in the Pacific Ocean.

You can work for that many millions of years. GRUB KYANG GZHIN DU NYE DKA' GSUNGS SGRUB BYAS But if you... LAM MED THUG LA BRTEN NA If you use the THU of your Lama, THU means THU in Chinese means wood, right?

Earth. Close. THU in Tibetan means mystical power.

The mystical power, magic power of your Lama. THEN GNYIS GDUG GIS TSE DUM GCIG LA In a single human life, here in the days of darkness, DE LAG TU GRUB PAR GSUNGS You can easily achieve enlightenment, tantric enlightenment. So that's a famous LAM MED.

DO LUG LA YANG LAMA BRTEN TSUL KHYAD PA'I DU PHAG PA CHUNG NA Even in the open teachings, as opposed to tantra, BRTEN TSUL KHYAD PA'I DU PHAG PA CHUNG NA If your service of your Lama is extraordinary, LAM GZHIN DU NYUR TE the path will be extremely fast. BYANG CHUB SEMS PA RTAG TU NGUS NAM PHAR BSRUNG NAS And then Pabongka Rinpoche told us the story of the bodhisattva whose name is Always Crying. He's always crying.

Say RTAG TU NGUS RTAG TU NGUS SADDHA PRA RU DI DA In Sanskrit it's like SADDHA SHIVA means always Shiva. SADDHA PRA RU DI DA means he's always crying. And he told the story.

Pabongka Rinpoche told the story. Then he said RANG RES SANGS RGYAS LTA BU BYANG NA If you and I had a chance to make contact with a Buddha, LAMA LAS BHAG PA'I SANGS RGYAS BYANG NYAM NAS DE'I CHOG PAR BYED TSUL YOD KYANG then you would think I wouldn't need my Lama so much. If I could meet the Buddha, I wouldn't need my Lama so much.

And it would be enough to meet the Buddha and get directions directly from the Buddha. So YOD KYANG, it might seem like that to you. But take the case of Dr. Ngu, the bodhisattva who was always crying. SANGS RGYAS BHAG MA'I BYAL YANG He met countless Buddhas, but DE'I MA TSEMS PAR it wasn't enough for him. So he sought out his Lama, his heart Lama. He had the power and he met many Buddhas, but he realized he needed his heart Lama.

And he dropped the Buddhas and went and looked for his heart Lama. That's one of the most beautiful stories in all of Buddhist scripture. I really love that story.

It comes from the Perfection of Wisdom, Prajnaparamita, in 100,000 lines. It's 12 volumes, 12,000 pages, in the Kangyur. So I went and got it for you.

And I want to tell the story. It feels like a nice night to tell that story. Let's just do the story.

So don't worry too much about the time. It'll probably pass quickly, like in the drive-in movie. So I divided it into...

The Prajnaparamita, which you would think was the Perfection of Wisdom Sutras, which is where the Heart Sutra came from, Xin Jing and Ching Kang Ching, these all came from the sutras, the long ones, Bolo Mido. So you think they must be philosophy books, but they're not. They read just like science fiction.

They read just like science fiction. And somebody should translate them. At least this story, somebody should translate this story, because it's like a science fiction story.

It's better than a science fiction story. So it's not like... They don't read like philosophy books.

They read like long, weird, psychedelic science fiction stories. So I'm going to give you a taste. I chose three parts of his story.

One is how he got started on trying to find his lama. And then I'm going to skip to the middle of his story and tell you why he was always crying. And then at the end he meets the girl.

And I think that's the most beautiful part. So we can't skip that. So here's the three parts.

And of course there's hundreds of pages in between there, so don't worry about that. DE NAS BCOM LDAN BDAG GIS CANNON BDAG PAR RAB SBYOR LA SKA TSAL PA So I'm going to give you the whole lung. Lung means you'll have the blessing of the original scripture.

And I'm not just paraphrasing it. I'm reading it and it might take a while. Let's just do it.

You don't have to get up so early tomorrow. Then the Buddha Bhagavan, the victor, the conqueror, said to the junior monk Subhuti. Who is Subhuti?

He's the hero of the Diamond Cutter Sutra. He asks the questions. He's a nudnik.

He asks too many questions in class. Later the Tibetans decided he was Manjushri in disguise, so you never know when one of your fellow students is a nudnik. Irritating person.

RAB SBYOR LA SKA TSAL PA The Buddha said to Subhuti. RAB SBYOR, Subhuti, RIG GI PHUNG BA RIG GI PHUNG MO GANG LA RIG SHES RGYAS PAR BSTUN PA TSUL BAR RIG GI PHUNG MO DANG RIG GI PHUNG MO DE JI'I BRTAG BYANG CHUB SEMS PAS SEMS PA THAG TUG MU Oh Subhuti, any child of noble family, son or daughter, And I like it because the Prajnaparamita is more equal to women. It's totally equal.

He says any son or daughter of noble birth who seeks the perfection of wisdom, then that noble son or daughter should follow as an example the bodhisattva named Ever Weeping, who always cried. And I always thought it was because he was so compassionate that he looked at people having suffering and it made him cry, but it ain't like that. It's funny.

,DE BZHIN SHES PA'I MYA NGAG PAR RDZOGS PA'I SANGS RGYAS, ,BDAG YANG MI SRED PAR RDZOGS PA'I DRUNG NA, So this bodhisattva studied at the feet of a Buddha whose name was BDAG YANG MI SRED PAR RDZOGS PA, which means he sings the endless song of the Dharma. So it wasn't this Buddha. It was a former Buddha.

,RDZOGS PA'I SANGS RGYAS DRUNG NA, ,SANGS RGYAS SPYOD PA SPYOD PA DE, That good monk named Ever Weeping, bodhisattva, ,YONGS SU TSAL BA, the way he sought the perfection of wisdom is how you guys should seek the perfection of wisdom. ,DE SKAD CIG RGA TSAL PA DANG, At the end of the paragraph, if you're following, thus spoke Lord Buddha. ,SKAD TSAL PA means thus bespoke the Buddha.

,BCOM LDAN DE TSE DANG LDAN PAR RAB SBYOR GYIS, ,DE SKAD CIG RGA TSAL PA DANG, Then two Lord Buddha, Saburi, offered the following response. ,BCOM LDAN DE, O Conqueror, ,BYANG CHUB SEMS PA SEMS PA CHEN PO RTAG TU NGUS, ,GZHER DU GYI PHA ROL SPYOD CHEN PO DE, ,YONGS SU TSAL BA NA, ,JI LTAR YOD SU TSAL LAG, So just how was it that the bodhisattva named, you want to call him crybaby? No.

Ever crying, always crying. Well, tell us, how did he seek the perfection of wisdom? Tell us the story.

,DE SKAD CIG RGA TSAL PA DANG, ,BCOM LDAN DE TSE DANG LDAN PAR RAB SBYOR GYIS, ,DE SKAD CIG RGA TSAL PA DANG, Then the Buddha responded, ,BYANG CHUB SEMS PA SEMS PA CHEN PO RTAG TU NGUS, ,GZHER DU GYI PHA ROL SPYOD CHEN PO DE, ,YONGS SU TSAL BA NA, In the days when that bodhisattva was living on this planet and seeking the perfection of wisdom. What is the perfection of wisdom? I mean, basically somebody tells you about the pen.

So what did this bodhisattva do to learn the pen? What was he willing to pay to learn the pen from somebody? You got it for free, right?

,LUS LA TSE PHYAG MIN ZIN, He didn't worry about his body. He ignored the needs of his body. ,SOGS LA MI LTAR, He risked his life.

,GNYEN PA DANG, ,KUR TE DANG, ,ZIG SU BYAS PA DANG, ,LAS MI GNAD PAR, He ignored what people said about him. ,YONGS SU TSAL BA YONGS SU TSAL TA, And that's how he sought the perfection of wisdom. ,DE GZHER DU GYI PHA ROL SPYOD CHEN PO YONGS SU TSUL ZHING, ,GRO KUN PAR ZHIG TU CHIN PA, Searching the world for the perfection of wisdom, he ended up one day in the middle of a desert.

,CHIN PA NA BAR SNANG LAS, ,DRA THOD PAR GYUR TE, And he heard a voice from the sky. He heard a voice from the sky. ,RIG GI PHU, Oh child of noble family, ,ZHAR CHOG SU SONG ZHIG DANG, ,ZHER DU GYI PHA ROL SPYOD CHIN PA THOD PAR GYUR, Walk east and you will find the perfection of wisdom.

,CHIN NAS LUS MNGAL BA YID LA BYAS PA MI SKYES PA DANG, You will be exhausted by the journey. Ignore it. ,GNYIS DANG, MUG PA YID LA BYAS PA MI SKYES PA, Don't worry that you don't get any sleep.

,SA BAR YID LA BYAS PA MI SKYES PA, Don't worry that you won't find any food. ,DUNG BA YID LA MI BYAS PA MI SKYES PA, Don't worry that there will be nothing to drink on the way. ,TSE MO YID LA MI BYAS PA MI SKYES PA, ,GNYIS MO YID LA BYAS PA MI SKYES PA, Don't worry whether it's day or night.

Just keep going. Walk east. ,DRANG BAR YID LA BYAS PA MI SKYES PA, If you get cold, ignore it.

,SA BAR YID LA BYAS PA MI SKYES PA, If you get hot, ignore it. ,SONG ZHIG, Get going. He just sounds like Bob Harper to me.

,NANG RNAMS CI ROL GANG RANG, ,SEMS RIM PA MA BYAS CIG, Don't hope for anything. Just walk. Don't think about it.

Just walk. Go east. ,RIG GIS BU, ,ZHAR DANG MTHONG BAR MA LTA BAR SONG ZHIG, Don't look to your left.

Don't look to your right. Don't look back. Don't look up.

Don't look down. Don't look anywhere else. East.

Go east. Look east. Walk.

That's how he started. That's the beginning of the story. It's really kind of cool.

So I cut it there. Fast forward a couple months. And he reaches a town.

And he finally reaches a town. And it has a town square like in those nice Mexican towns. With a square and the buildings on the sides like...

What's the one near Guadalajara? What's it called? No, it's where the cathedral is where we did the retreat.

Masamitla. Yeah, Masamitla. Beautiful town square and a nice cathedral.

So he found a place like that. ,DE NAS BYANG CHUB SEMS PA SEMS PA, ,LTAG LTUNG ROL DE DAG PA YIN RTEN DAG DANG, ,RAMAN NA DGOS PAR YID LA BYAS PA DANG, ,BRTEN PA'I SONG NAS, He went. ,THAR GYI DRONG GZHAN ZHIG TU CHIN PA, He arrived at a certain town.

,DE DRONG BAR GYI DUS SU, He reached the square in the middle of the town. ,DI NYAM DU SEMS TE I have to offer some... His lama was in that town.

As he walks, he has these flashbacks. What do you call it? Like visions.

He goes into a vision just for like a minute. In the beginning it's like a minute and he sees somebody's face. And then he's back.

This would make a good movie, I would say. Then he's back, he's walking. He's walking for another couple of hours and then suddenly he goes into this vision and he sees the lama and his finger.

The face and the finger. Then he's walking for another few days and suddenly he goes into this vision and the lama says like, perfection of... And then he comes out.

He keeps having these visions of his lama, Chöpak, High Dharma. You can call it High Dharma. It's the lama's name.

He's never met him. He's never heard of him. But he has a vision.

As he gets closer to where he's teaching, in a room with a couple of students, he starts to have stronger and stronger visions of him as he's speaking, as he's teaching. He's going into these things. Then he reaches the town.

He knows it's the town. He recognizes the town from his visions. And he says, you know, if I walk another few blocks I'll meet him.

I can meet him. Then he's like, but I can't. Because by now he's like naked.

He's all his clothes have fallen off, torn, ribbed. He's got just a cloth around his waist and he's all sunburned and dried out. And he's like, how can I meet my heart lama if I don't have something to offer?

I need to buy some offerings, like some flowers or some chocolate bars or something. I can't go empty handed. So he pauses in the town square.

BSTAN PA'I GNAR MTHONG ZHIG BSTAN MTHONG YOD US SU RING GI BYANG CHUB SEMS PA SEMS PA BYAMS PA CHUG PA LA GOS GYI BYA'O I have nothing to offer and I have no money. I have no way to buy anything. I will sell my body.

I will sell myself as a slave. I will offer myself on the market as a slave. Whatever money I'll get, I'll buy some offerings and send it to him.

So he says that, GOS GYI BYAMS. YUN RIM PO NAS BDAG GIS LUS STONG ZHIG CING SRED PA'I SONG LA I've already sold my body countless times to death, to the Lord of Death. DI LTAR BDAG GIS LUS SONG BA DE RIN GYIS SEMS CAN YANG BA'I SDUG BSNGAL BAG TU MED PA BDAG MYONG BA But I didn't get anything out of it. I just got suffering out of it.

This time, I can sell my body for something useful. I can give some meaning to my body. Instead of just hanging on to it until it dies, I will sell it.

DI LTAR BU'I SEMS PA CHEN PO LA GOS TI BYA'O BA'I CHOS NI MA YIN NO But I never before in all my lifetimes did I sell myself to buy offerings for my Lama. I think it's time. NYAM MO DE NAS BYANG CHUB SEMS PA SEMS PA'I BRTAG LTUNG DNGOS DRONG BAR DU SDUG STE Then he went and sat in the middle of the town square where there was a market going on, like a big busy market.

Lots of stalls and people selling things. And he screams, MI SOS NYON DU Who wants to buy a slave? Who needs a slave?

BRTAG LTUNG DNGOS So he kept screaming, Who wants a slave? Who wants to buy a slave? DE NAS DU SDIG BRTZEN DI NYAM DU SEMS TE Then there was a demon in the square, in the market, and he saw the bodhisattva screaming, Who wants to buy a slave?

And he thought to himself, BYANG CHUB SEMS PA CHEN PO BRTAG LTUNG DNGOS DI NI CHOS DUS PA'I CHOS BDAG NYID SONG NAS This bodhisattva wants to sell his own body, his own life for the Dharma. BYANG CHUB SEMS PA CHEN PO CHUG PA LA GUR TE CHE And he wants to honor this other bodhisattva, that Dharma, with an offering.

There are six practices of all high Hindus. I got them for you. I'll skip number one.

Okay, I'll give you number one. Number one is to make sacrifices of humans in the old days, and animals, sacrifices humans and animals. In the old, this is long ago.

This is in the time of the Vedas. Yajna of Vedas. Or we teach other people to make sacrifices, number two.

Adhyayana, which means to recite the Vedas, to memorize and recite the Vedas. Adhyapana, to teach other people to recite the Vedas. Jimba, which means dhvana, which means giving.

And lemba means accepting offerings from other people. So these are the six great deeds of an ancient Brahmin, not nowadays. They don't do it nowadays.

But so he needs, der mi nying, I need somebody's nying, heart, and I need chak, blood, and I need rupa, I need bone, and I need kang. Kang means marrow inside the bone. The cold are good.

I could use some of that. He's testing him. He wants to see how serious he is.

I don't need a living human, but I need those things. den tak tu ngu de nyam du sem de. Then the Bodhisattva thought to himself, kang dak gi tramsang kyi de nying dang, tark dang rupa dang, kang nyong wa nyepa di ni, tak gi nye pa chok lepar nye do.

I'm such a goddamn lucky guy. I found somebody who wants to buy my heart, and my blood, and my marrow. Now, today's my lucky day.

He's really happy. He doesn't freak out, and he doesn't hesitate. He's like, my luck finally changed.

I just need a little money for offerings. You decide what you're going to pay. de ne chan dru sempa sempa dak tu nu, chen nunpo tok ne, Then the brahman gave him a knife, like a razor blade, and the bodhisattva started to cut.

First he cut his right hand open and he got some blood. And then he went to his right thigh and he started to cut the fillet, or the bone. He started to fillet his right thigh.

rupa chok tu chi and the bone came out. You could see the white bone underneath and he started to cut. de ne, this is the good part.

I love this part. This is the story of my life. Tsongpung gi pum mo, there was a daughter of a wealthy man who lived on, what do you call it?

She lived on the upper story of one of the apartments around the square. So she's looking down from the roof. The parapet, the wall, like in India there's a wall and a roof, and she's leaning over the wall and she's watching the market.

And she sees this guy cutting his own leg. And she's like, she's looking down from the roof. And she's like, Chandrasen, she's looking at, la sham mey pa tong ne, this guy's cutting off his leg, I can see the white bone sticking out.
