«Дар освобождения», курс 14 «Красота учителя», занятие 11

[Говорящий 1] (0:00 - 1:16)
Okay, let's start. So he's talking about the problems of not finding your teacher for your lifetime, and also the problems of not treating them well with affection and respect. So what makes a teacher like that?

What makes somebody your teacher that you have to respect? Lama. What makes lama?

Then he says, ,CHE PA PO CHEN DOD DANG, ,NYON PA PO NYON DU GYI, ,ZIG TZAM YAN CES NYON YOD ZHIG LA BRTZER BA'I, means, if a person who wants to explain the Dharma to you, meets a person who wants to listen to the Dharma from that person, then that person is their lama, after they say the first word.

[Говорящий 2] (1:16 - 1:21)
After they say the first word, that's their lama.

[Говорящий 1] (1:22 - 1:24)
ZHIG LA BRTZER, that's what we call a lama.

[Говорящий 2] (1:24 - 1:25)
Okay, BRTZER BA'I.

[Говорящий 1] (1:26 - 2:09)
NGES TSOS means people like us. LAMA GANG NYANG DAG CHE BA ZHIG LA BSTAN TSUL ZAB ZAB BYED When we meet a big teacher, a famous teacher, then we are very careful to show respect to them. But when we say GZHAN KHA KHA LOB KHYEN, what's KHA KHA KHA RANG?

What's that in Tibetan? Huh? A, B, C, D.

Okay? KHA KHA KHA LOB KHYEN. The alphabet in Tibetan is called A, B, KHA KHA.

[Говорящий 2] (2:09 - 2:14)
The alphabet in Tibetan means KHA KHA A, B.

[Говорящий 1] (2:15 - 2:20)
So somebody taught us the ... My first grade teacher was Mrs. Melvin. Okay?

[Говорящий 2] (2:20 - 2:25)
Me, the eighth grade. First grade. First grade.

[Говорящий 1] (2:25 - 2:26)
Six years old.

[Говорящий 2] (2:27 - 2:31)
The first grade teacher was Miss Melvin.

[Говорящий 1] (2:34 - 2:39)
The Chinese, they have very useful ... Each number has a sign.

[Говорящий 2] (2:42 - 2:44)
Yeah, I like it.

[Говорящий 1] (2:45 - 2:55)
So, then she had a big ... What do you call it? Did you see Farside cartoon?

She has the glasses like that, and she has the beehive haircut.

[Говорящий 2] (2:57 - 2:57)
Like that.

[Говорящий 1] (3:00 - 3:48)
Then I remember ... Okay, when did my trouble in the school begin? It was first grade.

First day. She gave us all this children's paper with the three lines so you know how to write, right? A what?

Children's paper with lines, how to draw the letters. Then she said, everybody draw a big A. Then I thought, if she wants a capital letter, she will say capital letter.

But she didn't say capital letter, she said big A.

[Говорящий 2] (3:49 - 3:55)
But she didn't say capital letter, she said big A.

[Говорящий 1] (3:56 - 3:59)
She said, I wrote the whole page one A. You know?

[Говорящий 2] (4:02 - 4:05)
I wrote the whole page one A.

[Говорящий 1] (4:05 - 5:01)
Then I thought she would be happy, you know? She got really angry. Then that teacher who taught ...

Mrs. Melvin. Kaka Lobken. She's my alphabet teacher.

Here, Kaka Lobken means your alphabet teacher, who taught you the alphabet. Who taught you ... What is it?

Shu, Ti, Na. Yeah, like Ti, Na. Like that, yeah, yeah.

In Chinese it's like this. That person, Nangchung Che means, Nangchung Che means, you think they're not such a big Lama. Like they're just your alphabet teacher.

Detar Mirung, that's a mistake.

[Говорящий 2] (5:03 - 5:16)
Every teacher in your life, your mother, father, first grade teacher, they're all your Lama.

[Говорящий 1] (5:18 - 5:19)
That's what this sentence says.

[Говорящий 2] (5:20 - 5:20)
They're all your Lama.

[Говорящий 1] (5:23 - 6:05)
And you have to treat them with respect. Even if they have this haircut. And you know, we don't believe that.

And it feels a little bit uncomfortable. Like if I go to a yoga class in Phoenix, so I pay that person to torture me. So they're just teaching me one hour of yoga because I paid $15.

So do I have to respect them?

[Говорящий 2] (6:07 - 6:09)
This Lama says yes.

[Говорящий 1] (6:09 - 10:44)
You have to respect them as your teacher. Then it feels, you think, oh Geshe-la, that's too much. If that's true, then I have to respect everybody like a Lama.

Yeah. No, and frankly, even like if you go to a yoga class and you pay somebody, and you don't know this person, but if you listen to them very carefully and you do everything they ask you to do very carefully, very respectfully, the class is like fantastic. So don't think it's trouble to respect more people.

It's very, very pleasant to get this habit to respect all the teachers in all the classes. If you do a cooking class and just someone teaching you how to fry the tortillas, if you really respect this person, your food will taste fantastic because it's coming from affection and respect. So just, if you're a Buddhist person, whoever teaches you anything, treat them with great respect.

Okay. BYAS GRUB GANG BA'ANG There was a Lama called GRUB GANG BA. We just talked about him.

He was the teacher of Purchok, Purchok. And he was the logic, the person who wrote about logic, and he was the teacher of one of the Dalai Lamas. By the way, his name, GRUB GANG BA, means the person who stays in the GRUB GANG.

Then three years ago, at our university, the 39 people or something, each one built a house, small house, for a three years meditation. And they are coming out on April 4th. Three years, three months, three days.

So if you have time, come and celebrate with us, and you can see these people. The first day you come out, you get a big headache. Everybody's like, oh no, congratulations, three years.

And you're like, don't talk so loud. But each small house is called GRUB GANG. GRUB GANG means meditation cabin.

So this teacher's name was Mr. Meditation Cabin. Because he always stays in his meditation cabin. By the way, those 39 people or whatever, they donated those cabins.

And starting in 2014, we will have some retreats there. We will still continue this retreat, if it's okay. But if you have time, you can also come there and we will use those cabins.

They are donating them. They are leaving and they are donating them. It's very beautiful, very kind.

[Говорящий 2] (10:54 - 11:00)
I think we can fit about this many people there.

[Говорящий 1] (11:00 - 11:20)
Okay. This Lama, RKA RKA LOGS RKEN GYI TSUN LOGS LA TSUN LOGS means he didn't respect his early teachers who teach him to write and teach him to read. He didn't think he should respect them.

[Говорящий 2] (11:22 - 11:27)
He had to respect his early teachers like the one who taught him to read or write.

[Говорящий 1] (11:28 - 11:36)
And then he couldn't understand the teaching.

[Говорящий 2] (11:37 - 11:54)
Like the teacher said, okay, between your eyebrows, you meditate on the space. Then he's like, he didn't understand. He just feel itching, you know?

[Говорящий 1] (11:57 - 12:35)
Then he asked his teacher, you talk about space number two, space number three, space number four. I don't understand any of it. Then teacher said, that's because you are impolite to the teacher who taught you the letters in this monastery.

So he went back, apologized to Mrs. Melvin. I'm sorry, I didn't respect you when I drew the big A.

[Говорящий 2] (12:35 - 12:40)
I'm sorry, I didn't respect you when I wrote the big letter A.

[Говорящий 1] (12:41 - 12:50)
And because of that, he got BDAG SNANGS. Can you show the word BDAG SNANGS? BDAG SNANGS.

[Говорящий 2] (12:51 - 12:57)
BDAG SNANGS is a very beautiful word.

[Говорящий 1] (13:00 - 13:15)
You should learn it. So if you had a very nice 24 hours, all your dreams came true.

[Говорящий 2] (13:16 - 13:21)
Everything you ever wished for happened to you.

[Говорящий 1] (13:21 - 13:31)
And you got to learn to make two kinds of enchiladas. It's what I call a perfect day. Perfect day.

[Говорящий 2] (13:31 - 13:33)
It's what I call a perfect day.

[Говорящий 1] (13:34 - 14:16)
And then you go outside into the street of Guadalajara. Everyone looks like an angel because you have some really good enchiladas in your stomach. And you're like, Hi!

I saw one guy, he's painting the wall. He looks like God to me. I told Susana, many, many years I'm meditating to try to reach Nirvana.

But if I knew about your enchiladas, I don't have to do all that.

[Говорящий 2] (14:16 - 14:22)
But if I knew about your enchiladas, I don't have to do all that.

[Говорящий 1] (14:23 - 14:46)
Then I saw the guy, he's painting. I'm like, Hi! He looked like he came from heaven.

That's BDAG SNANGS. It means you see, when you're in a super good mood, you see other people and they just look beautiful. Super beautiful.

[Говорящий 2] (14:51 - 15:07)
So after he apologized to his first grade teacher, everything changed. And he got BDAG SNANGS towards all his teachers.

[Говорящий 1] (15:11 - 15:37)
Okay. And then he got very high spiritual levels. DUD TSIG SNYING PO RANG He's quoting DUD TSIG SNYING PO again.

This is what? What is it? Essence of Nectar.

The Essence of Nectar. It's molita. Molita.

[Говорящий 2] (15:40 - 15:40)
Molita.

[Говорящий 1] (15:40 - 16:43)
Did I say it wrongly? Moli. I'm sorry.

Molita. It's the sauce on the enchilada. The Essence of Nectar.

DGE BA'I ZHES RNAMS RGYAL KUN CHEN LAS DE RANG GI LAM PAR ZHAR BA NYID YIN CHE Your own teacher is all the great deeds of all the Buddhas and all the teachers in the universe appearing in one person. Therefore, DE LA MA GUS RGYAL KUN MA GUS PAR If you show disrespect to your teacher, then you are showing disrespect to every Buddha. GSUNGS SPYIR GSUNGS SPYIR means Buddha said that.

[Говорящий 2] (16:44 - 16:47)
Buddha said that. GSUNGS SPYIR means Buddha said that.

[Говорящий 1] (16:48 - 17:32)
DE LAS RNAMS YIN CI BA GANG Where can you find a worse karma than that? There is no worse karma than that. To disrespect your teacher, after you...

After what? You make connections with them. What do you do before you make connections with them?

Check them out. Sometimes for many years. Before you ask them to become your teacher.

After you ask them.

[Говорящий 2] (17:34 - 17:44)
If you break that relationship, if you show them disrespect, then there is no worse karma than that.

[Говорящий 1] (17:46 - 19:15)
That could kill you. Like that. Or many times.

It's terrible. Very serious karma. So I think for us, we should just be very careful before we ask someone to be our teacher.

SOGS DANG Then there is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very famous verse. This is maybe the most famous verse. One of the most famous verses about your teachers, lamas.

DRA NAG GI GANG BRAL It comes from the secret teachings. GANG BRAL means commentary about the difficult points, difficult ideas. Then you are, now you, you know, if someone asks you, what are you practicing?

You have to say, I'm ser-me. What lineage are you? You have to say ser-me.

This is the monastery that these guys are going to in the fall, I guess. We have to have a meeting about it.

[Говорящий 2] (19:17 - 19:22)
Make some plans in the next few days.

[Говорящий 1] (19:22 - 20:05)
Then if someone asks you, what's your, you know, what's your lineage? I'm ser-me. Oh, what's cool about ser-me?

We don't even teach the easy things. We don't even learn them. We don't even have them in our monastery.

We don't have the easy things. GANG BRAL We only talk about the tough stuff. Four spaces.

Don't ask me, you know, I don't know, how to do breathing meditation.

[Говорящий 2] (20:05 - 20:10)
You can learn that someplace else.

[Говорящий 1] (20:10 - 20:24)
We don't have that. We don't have that here. We only sell Mercedes and Jaguar and Cadillac.

If you want a bochito, go someplace else.

[Говорящий 2] (20:26 - 20:27)
Beetle.

[Говорящий 1] (20:27 - 20:55)
Volkswagen Beetle. So we are a little bit, what do you call, stuck up. We only do the, we only, when we talk in the kitchen, in the cafeteria, we just talk about impossibly difficult subjects.

So that book is called Explanation of Impossibly Difficult Things.

[Говорящий 2] (21:03 - 21:04)
So of course it's in this book.

[Говорящий 1] (21:07 - 21:38)
Dranak is a very fierce secret angel called the Black Enemy. And in that book, they quote, they have a quotation. Okay, listen, okay?

Just listen. This is a lung. What's a lung?

Oral blessing. You should hear this verse.

[Говорящий 2] (21:40 - 21:45)
All tantra is based on this verse.

[Говорящий 1] (21:46 - 23:58)
Everyone's asking me, can I come to the tantric ritual? I heard you have a really good dinner. But here's the real thing.

This verse is like the foundation of all tantra, all secret teachings. SIG CES GCIG TZAM NYAN PA LA GANG GI LA MAR MIN ZIN PA KYIS KYAS NAS RGYAL SKYES NAS ME SHA CHEN DU SKYE BAR GYUR If you go to somebody and you listen to one sentence from them, one sentence, like please close the door. No, not that bad.

They say it's very important to respect your mother and your father. GANG GI LA MAR MIN ZIN PA After someone taught you one sentence, and if you don't treat them as a lama, after they taught you one sentence, if you don't respect them like a lama, after they taught you one sentence, KYIS SKYES NAS RGYAL SKYES NAS you will be born as a dog a hundred times. And after that, ME SHA CHEN DU SKYE BAR GYUR means if you take the most miserable person in this whole world, most unhappy, most poor, most suffering, you will, with a hundred dog lifetimes, you will burn off the worst karma and you will become the most unhappy person human.

[Говорящий 2] (23:59 - 24:16)
Then it's not some kind of exaggeration. It's true.

[Говорящий 1] (24:18 - 24:21)
Karma is very, very powerful.

[Говорящий 2] (24:22 - 24:24)
Karma is very, very powerful.

[Говорящий 1] (24:26 - 24:39)
When you make us, like today, this week, we are thinking a lot about cancer. Because someone we know got, the doctor said they have cancer.

[Говорящий 2] (24:43 - 24:44)
Can I talk about it?

[Говорящий 1] (24:45 - 26:43)
So it's Alejandro's father. We did a prayer for him a few nights ago. They said he had a very large tumor in his kidney.

I don't know about you, but I kept thinking about it and I kept trying to, I was trying to do something. So they did an emergency operation yesterday and there's no tumor. Okay?

So they say maybe x-ray mistake. And of course he has some serious medical problems. The emergency is not finished yet.

But if you think about cancer, it starts with one cell. I used to be in the diamond business, right? But we don't do only diamond.

We do all precious stones, all semi-precious stones. So one day I was in Hong Kong like, I don't know, 30 years ago. And they have unbelievable gemstone selling houses.

The jewel, gem selling houses.

[Говорящий 2] (26:46 - 26:48)
Like bigger than this room.

[Говорящий 1] (26:51 - 27:51)
And the diamonds and emerald ruby up to the ceiling. You know, and they have these special tracks that run through the building. And you just push the whole thousands of boxes of gemstones.

You just push the wall and it moves. Then you get the next wall and you can look at more stones. Then I'm like, pretend this is a stone, okay?

I'm looking through thousands of stones. Then I find this beautiful sky blue stone. It's like really big, you know?

[Говорящий 2] (27:52 - 27:53)
I'm like, what is this?

[Говорящий 1] (27:54 - 27:56)
Because that's my job. I have to find new stones.

[Говорящий 2] (27:59 - 28:03)
And I'm like, what is this stone? Topaz.

[Говорящий 1] (28:05 - 28:19)
This is not a topaz. Topaz is a brown color, dirty color, mud color. This is like a miracle.

This is like such a beautiful blue, like the sky.

[Говорящий 2] (28:19 - 28:22)
This is a miracle. It's blue like the sky.

[Говорящий 1] (28:23 - 28:48)
And they said if a topaz grows underground next to uranium, the radiation makes it blue. So it's extremely rare because you need radiation. It must happen underground like 500 feet next to a topaz.

[Говорящий 2] (28:58 - 29:06)
Then the guy opens a box and there's like a thousand stones there.

[Говорящий 1] (29:06 - 29:10)
And I'm like, how did you find a thousand of them?

[Говорящий 2] (29:13 - 29:14)
Secret.

[Говорящий 1] (29:16 - 29:35)
Then I, of course, I wanted to find out that secret. So I dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, everywhere in the world. I ask everybody.

If you can make this stone or find this stone, you can make $10 million, $50 million, something.

[Говорящий 2] (29:43 - 30:02)
Then someone told me you can send it to a nuclear reactor. Cut the stones, the dirty mud color stone, and send them to a nuclear reactor.

[Говорящий 1] (30:04 - 31:10)
So I called all the nuclear reactors in the world. Finally I found one in Geneva. They said, okay, bring your stones.

We put it in the nuclear reactor. After like three days I said, okay, can I have the stones back? No, there's a problem.

We check with Geiger counter. It's a radiation checker. This stone will be hot for 10,000 years.

We have to keep it in the reactor. I said, who's going to pay for my stone? They said, it's illegal to give it back to you.

So then, people start bringing me these stones. Then I bought a Geiger counter, radiation machine.

[Говорящий 2] (31:13 - 31:20)
Then I started to check them. Then they're like, you know, I'm like, oh.

[Говорящий 1] (31:22 - 31:31)
Very high radiation. Then I called the Nuclear Energy Commission of America, American government.

[Говорящий 2] (31:36 - 31:38)
Are these things safe?

[Говорящий 1] (31:41 - 32:08)
Yeah, yeah, it's okay. Just one stone, it's not going to hurt you. Then I said, well, what makes it dangerous?

There's nuclear, what do you call, particles inside. They are very powerful. Gamma ray, gamma.

They can go through your bone and through your skin, no problem.

[Говорящий 2] (32:08 - 32:13)
Like that. Like my teachings, you know.

[Говорящий 1] (32:17 - 32:37)
And if they hit, if one particle, atomic particle, one particle goes through your skin and you have a chromosome chain in your, each cell has a chromosome chain.

[Говорящий 2] (32:37 - 32:46)
Spiral. If it hits it, it breaks the chain.

[Говорящий 1] (32:48 - 32:54)
Then the chain, you cannot, you know, you need like a very powerful microscope to see this DNA.

[Говорящий 2] (32:54 - 33:18)
It's a DNA chain. If one particle hits one chain, it starts cancer. One cell.

Then that cell goes crazy. It starts to split.

[Говорящий 1] (33:19 - 33:49)
Every few hours, it starts to split. And it starts a tumor. And then it just grows like double every few hours.

And then you die. So I said, well, he said, you don't have to worry about one stone. I said, my people, they don't have one stone.

We are holding 10,000 stones, 5,000 stones. It's dangerous.

[Говорящий 2] (33:57 - 34:08)
Do you approve it? Yes, we approve it. Is it safe?

I'm sorry, I can't talk to you. He won't talk to me.

[Говорящий 1] (34:09 - 34:54)
Then I got rid of them. Because I also have pregnant women working in my office. One atomic particle hits one DNA chain, you die.

Why am I talking about that? It's not that I forgot what I'm talking about. Sometimes that happens.

Tonight I remember. One small mistake with your teacher, it can break a chromosome. It's like a chromosome.

[Говорящий 2] (34:54 - 35:00)
It can break a DNA chain like an atomic particle.

[Говорящий 1] (35:00 - 35:20)
And a tumor will grow. Because the karma is so powerful. Because that higher teacher is teaching you how not to die.

Do you mind if I talk about your dad?

[Говорящий 2] (35:20 - 35:21)
No, no, no, I don't mind.

[Говорящий 1] (35:22 - 36:20)
So he yelled at his dad this morning. Why? Dad is on the phone doing business from the hospital.

He said, Dad, why are you doing business? There's no tumor. I'm free.

I don't have tumor. Then he yelled at his dad. He said, Dad, I'm telling you all the time, if the tumor doesn't kill you, something else is going to kill you.

You have to get spiritual. Then he's like, I don't know. The rest he can tell you.

But if it's possible to stop the pain of the whole world, then that's a very heavy karma. There's no karma heavier than that.

[Говорящий 2] (36:23 - 36:38)
So after you investigate the teacher, after you decide to take them as your teacher, then you have to be super, super, super careful.

[Говорящий 1] (36:41 - 37:24)
And I always say, not in a ... what do you call it? There are some people who are anal.

You know, lamas are drinking some coffee. Pretend it's coffee. And you know, they like give it to the other person.

Have a drink. And then all of these anal students are there. And they're like, no, no, don't drink lama's coffee.

This is lama's coffee. You will go to hell. Then you become a dog.

[Говорящий 2] (37:28 - 37:36)
Don't be like that. Respect. It means affection.

Real affection.

[Говорящий 1] (37:37 - 37:39)
It's just sweet to be with your lama.

[Говорящий 2] (37:41 - 37:47)
It's not like you're like this. It's like you think about your lama and you start to cry.

[Говорящий 1] (37:50 - 38:00)
Like your girlfriend or something. So beautiful. No, really.

It's not anal.

[Говорящий 2] (38:02 - 38:11)
It's affection. Total affection. And it's comfortable.

Easy. Like old shoes.

[Говорящий 1] (38:13 - 38:20)
Like a good pair of jeans. Relationship is very soft.

[Говорящий 2] (38:22 - 38:23)
Sweet.

[Говорящий 1] (38:24 - 38:31)
It's not this. Then the mistake is if you upset your lama or something.

[Говорящий 2] (38:35 - 38:37)
Because you're not being sweet.

[Говорящий 1] (38:39 - 39:09)
It just means be sweet. It doesn't mean be like freak out. Relax.

Love them. They love you. Hug each other a lot.

This is real lama. Behavior. It's not like you throw yourself down on the ground and you're like, oh.

[Говорящий 2] (39:12 - 39:21)
Those people who do that, later they break it. Because there's no love.

[Говорящий 1] (39:23 - 42:50)
I think they like people to see them do this thing. Lama doesn't want some crazy person. They want a person who has affection.

Okay. We have a few minutes left. You want to hear the whole tantra?

Not the whole tantra, but I mean, I took a big piece out of it. I took out a big piece out of the commentary on the difficult points to the secret practice of the black enemy. karjid dam chur lopa dang So, just so you know it's for real, this quotation about the dog and all that, it says, the person who teaches you to read, kye dang men ngak tunpa dang who explains what you're reading to you, like history book in the fifth grade, men ngak tunpa, who gives you guidance, personal guidance, wang korwa dang me che pa up to the teacher who gives you tantric initiation.

lopun shinnyi jangwa yen They are acharya. Acharya. Acharya means like a master.

They are your master. Then they have the quotation which we read. That's the next.

deway na sangway daway tik len le So, this tantra is quoting another tantra. The other tantra is called the magic drop of the secret moon. nyur du dorje lopun la If you do get a tantric teacher, nga kyi ngu du dun dupe and if you want to achieve those highest goals of those secret teachings, gu shing shesar shepa yi show them respect and affection.

shin du hapa chokpa jang Get close to them. nam yang dorje lopun kyi thug ni chupa mi ja te Never, ever, ever, ever upset your teacher. chi de sherab tselwa che Because if you do, instead of finding wisdom, you will find the hell.

[Говорящий 2] (42:51 - 43:38)
So, what upsets a lama? Example. When you mistreat other students, you're jealous of somebody, and you say something to them, when the disciples don't have harmony, then that upsets the teacher.

If you hurt the teacher, they don't care. But if you hurt each other, then they get really discouraged.

[Говорящий 1] (43:40 - 44:28)
So, that's what it means upset teacher. Or hurt any other person. Then they really get upset.

And then you're in danger. Because if you won't stop it, they have to cut you off. That's also our responsibility.

If you keep hurting other people, and over and over they tell you, but you don't stop, then teacher has a vow to remove you like cancer.

[Говорящий 2] (44:33 - 44:35)
From that group.

[Говорящий 1] (44:36 - 46:18)
It will hurt all the group. ne dang tselwa dra dak dang dun dang nyer tse duk gnyis dun dang nyer tse duk gnyis kyi SO So this is a strange poetry because it doesn't match. So I spent all this time to try to correct it.

And I checked a lot of other books. And it's correct. For some reason, Buddha broke the poetry.

I don't know why. In the Abhisamaya Alankara, when there's a very important point, they break the poetry. They break the meter.

It's like you're singing a song, I remember when you were gambling to win. Everybody else said uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh. Okay.

You can hear it tomorrow, or next day. It's just like a rock and roll song. And it's supposed to go da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da like that.

Translate. But then in the middle it goes da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh.

[Говорящий 2] (46:21 - 46:22)
You can hear it.

[Говорящий 1] (46:22 - 46:27)
Maybe most of you heard it in your room anyway.

[Говорящий 2] (46:30 - 46:47)
But in Buddhist poetry, when you want to say something important, you break the beat. So the eighth chapter of the Abhisamaya Alankara it's all off beat.

[Говорящий 1] (46:49 - 47:12)
This is the chapter where they teach you what you will be like when you become a Buddha. So, when you memorize it, it drives you crazy. Okay.

GNAS DANG ZE BA DGRA DAG DANG You will always be sick. People will always hurt you.

[Говорящий 2] (47:12 - 47:20)
You will meet many people who hurt you.

[Говорящий 1] (47:21 - 48:54)
LDAN DAG GNAS RTZAD DUG GNYIS SO Sometimes it will be by spirits. And sometimes like poisons, toxins in your body. SLOB PUN ZHAG LA SMOS BYAS PA Whoever disrespects their holy teacher, STIM BUG CHEN PO DE'I PHYI'O This person with darkness in their mind will die.

They will die. LAM MA LAS NI NGOS DU MTHONG All the dreams you have in your life come from your teacher. So, listen to the poetry.

[Говорящий 2] (48:55 - 49:11)
RGA If they ask you to do something, don't break it. Don't break your Lama's word. If you make a commitment to them, don't break it.

[Говорящий 1] (49:15 - 49:23)
It's better not to take a teacher. You understand, it's better not to ask them to be your teacher.

[Говорящий 2] (49:26 - 49:40)
After you ask them to be your teacher, your life becomes very dangerous. But if you don't have a teacher, you have no hope at all.

[Говорящий 1] (49:40 - 50:02)
Nothing. So in English we say you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. If you don't have a teacher, your life is hopeless.

It's a waste of life. The life is useless.

[Говорящий 2] (50:07 - 50:22)
But if you take a teacher, be very, very, very careful before you take them. And then after you take them, surrender.

[Говорящий 1] (50:27 - 50:49)
Whatever they say, do it. Don't break their word. If they ask you to do something wrong, should you do it?

No, they won't ask. If they ask, it means they are testing you.

[Говорящий 2] (50:53 - 50:57)
Please rob a bank for me.

[Говорящий 1] (50:57 - 51:13)
You have to sit there and drink your coffee. I told you, go now and rob the bank. I'm your lama.

And you have to be like, let's make some enchiladas.

[Говорящий 2] (51:19 - 51:32)
So if they tell you to do something wrong, happily, politely, with respect, I'm sorry lama.

[Говорящий 1] (51:33 - 51:49)
I don't believe you. You are testing me. I cannot hurt someone for you.

Even for you, the tantra says, even for your lama, do not hurt another person.

[Говорящий 2] (51:52 - 51:53)
Very beautiful, right?

[Говорящий 1] (51:55 - 52:01)
If your lama asks you to hurt someone, they are just testing you.

[Говорящий 2] (52:01 - 52:06)
Then you have to say, I'm sorry lama, I cannot.

[Говорящий 1] (52:07 - 52:17)
You taught me not to do. Then you pass the test. Then they will give you a harder one.

[Говорящий 2] (52:19 - 52:20)
Another test.

[Говорящий 1] (52:21 - 53:44)
Okay. Then this teaching is very heavy, This teaching is very heavy. But it's the most important teaching in this book.

[Говорящий 2] (53:47 - 53:53)
And I think it will bring up many questions in your mind.

[Говорящий 1] (53:54 - 54:15)
So tomorrow we will take some time, okay, and let's talk about what questions come in your mind about this subject. It's very important, and a lot of questions come in my mind also.

[Говорящий 2] (54:18 - 54:53)
So bring the questions tomorrow, and we'll do a little bit more questions than usual, because this is the most important subject in this book. And if you are hearing, if you are here today, in our belief, in our tradition, it took millions of years to get here.

[Говорящий 1] (54:55 - 55:16)
And you are the most special person out of 10 or 20 million people. So you have to take care of yourself. You are very valuable.

You are very precious, because you will teach other people.

[Говорящий 2] (55:19 - 55:21)
So get some sleep.
