[Говорящий 1] (0:00 - 0:46)
You who teach a lot, like Carola, you know this is the worst time of day to teach. Everyone's sleepy from the food. So I thought maybe we can start with questions.

The question can be completely irrelevant. Janiyo, any question, any subject. Holy Lama, I have a question.

Hey, you're cheating, you have the microphone. Okay, first you, then Jane has it. Jane after Janiyo, okay?

After Janiyo.

[Говорящий 2] (0:48 - 1:12)
If it's true that a single moment of anger at your Holy Lama can destroy eons of good karma, if it's true that a single moment of anger at your Holy Lama can destroy eons of good karma, that seems to be in contradiction with the third law of karma, that the result of a seed cannot be lost.

[Говорящий 1] (1:12 - 1:48)
I am. Sometimes it's called the third, sometimes it's called the fourth. Most often it's called the fourth, because sometimes I mix it up and teach it different places, but...

The verb, so you know the idea.

[Говорящий 2] (1:49 - 1:59)
You get upset at your teacher, because the teacher was sent by all the Buddhas.

[Говорящий 1] (2:00 - 3:52)
Then indirectly you got mad at all the Buddhas. Then it says that destroys those good seeds that you made for many millions of years. Then it says that causes you to go to the hells for that many millions of years.

So to start with the answer, but I will come to the answer, why does the absence of your good seeds send you to hell? Yeah, yeah, good answer. When you take away the good seeds, it creates a vacuum.

Then the only thing left is your old bad seeds. Then they will assert themselves. Then there's an implication there.

Your good seeds are protecting you. They are keeping you out. They are holding you back from the hells.

In Sanskrit, the verb for hold back is, de hur, de hur, holding back.

[Говорящий 2] (4:01 - 4:03)
You should fall to a root.

[Говорящий 1] (4:03 - 4:28)
Something is holding you back. Then when you add ma to a root, it means the thing which is holding you back. So what word is that?

Dharma. Dharma.

[Говорящий 2] (4:29 - 4:57)
Dharma means the thing which is holding you back from falling into the hell realms. So the absence of that dharma, when you destroy that dharma, which is holding you back, then you fall.

[Говорящий 1] (5:00 - 7:41)
But that's not his question. Jonio's question is, you told us you cannot destroy karmic seed. Not possible.

And that's correct. Think about what will happen if you can destroy a karmic seed. Then it's possible to do bad things and not have bad results.

And it's possible to do good things and you don't get anything good. So when you, each of you will become a teacher, when you are teaching other people, if you help other people, good thing will happen to you. If you hurt other people, bad thing will happen to you.

Then intelligent people, when they hear that, they're like, ah, that's good. Now everything makes sense. My life makes sense.

There's some system in the world, justice, justice. When we don't have justice, all of us feel bad. I did a good job at my work, but I didn't get a raise.

Then we feel very bad. There's no justice. If some teacher tells you everything is justice, in Tibetan they say, CHOS MI SA BA, nothing is lost.

Everything you do, you get back. Good and bad. Then we're a little bit unhappy.

That means all the bad stuff I did, it will come back to me. In the short term, that's bad. In the long term, it means you have control about your future.

You can design your future.

[Говорящий 2] (7:43 - 7:47)
What's going to happen to you next year?

[Говорящий 1] (7:47 - 9:01)
You can plant it. Okay, so Americans, every twenty years, American newspapers decide one country is bad. When I was very young, it was Germans.

Then later it became Russia. After that it was Arab people. Now they're starting on Chinese a little bit.

The newspapers say we're supposed to not like this. Now this country, we're not supposed to like them. Then unfortunately many Americans, they don't think about, they believe whatever is in the newspaper.

So, about eight years ago, the newspaper talking bad about Arab people. I always like to be contradictory person.

[Говорящий 2] (9:04 - 9:09)
So I thought, I will go meet some Arab people.

[Говорящий 1] (9:09 - 10:51)
I will see if they're good people or bad people. So I went to Morocco. I start to study Koran.

Very interesting. I meet some people there I hired a teacher to teach me Koran and I spent two months in the village. First day I came, then he he's an old college professor.

Then he said, you're so lucky you came on the national holiday, the holiday for our town. Then I said, what's the holiday? Then he said, it's like a Muslim celebration.

Then do you want to go to the town and see? Then I said, okay, I'd like to go. There's no car, we have to walk a long way through the mountains.

Then we are walking past one woman, she's all in black. Then he said, this lady is Taliban.

[Говорящий 2] (10:54 - 11:09)
Then he said, the elected government of Afghanistan. He's pushing me, and I okay, I understand.

[Говорящий 1] (11:12 - 12:27)
Then we got to the village and there's all these guys they're having Muslim festival. They're all playing music. They're all in a special white robe.

They're playing this tambourine and they're like really fantastic. I'm like, wow, that's amazing music. He said, this is African music.

You're not just in a Muslim country, you're in an African country. Then I said, that's great. He said, where do you think Jimi Hendrix came from?

He taught me so much. So, I forgot why I'm talking about Morocco.

[Говорящий 2] (12:28 - 12:31)
The 20 years. Every 20 years, bad person.

[Говорящий 1] (12:31 - 15:08)
Yeah, but I forgot why I'm talking about that. That's a strong Chinese question. Chinese question, yeah, Chinese question, can you destroy a karmic sin?

Then I'm talking about justice. That's it. That's a good one.

So, I rented a hacienda. A special Muslim house. It's in a square.

There's a word in Morocco, I forgot the word. Riyadh. Then it's very interesting, the building is square and in the middle, the whole middle is open ground and that's a garden.

Then there are no windows facing the outside. All the windows face the inside. From any room you can see the garden but you cannot see the neighbors.

Then this is connected with Muslim women. They don't want the neighbors to see the ladies. Because they are very strict about this respecting ladies.

So, I stayed two months in that house. I did a retreat. I didn't go outside.

Then I asked my teacher, my Koran teacher, you know, how do I go to the grocery store? Then he said, you will see. Then I was a little nervous, you know.

I'm a little bit hungry first day, you know. Then I saw, oh look, there's a tomato and carrots in the garden. Every day I'm eating them.

Carrots, peas and tomato. I'm eating them, you know.

[Говорящий 2] (15:14 - 15:15)
Peas.

[Говорящий 1] (15:16 - 16:18)
And then after one week, watermelons coming up. After one week, corn is coming up. Then the whole summer was like that, two months.

Everything I needed, it's like magic, you know. I'm hungry for, I need some watermelon. Shikua will grow.

Every day he used to come to teach me Arabic. Arabic. Then he said, you want to have some Morocco whiskey with me?

Then I'm thinking, oh now I understand, American newspaper is correct. They say they don't drink alcohol, but they drink alcohol. Then I said, I don't know, I don't think I can drink it, you know.

[Говорящий 2] (16:20 - 16:39)
Then he spent like one hour, go to the garden, pick out mint leaves, then make mint tea. Put one cup of sugar in the tea.

[Говорящий 1] (16:39 - 16:48)
Then I take one sip. Feels like tequila. He said, this is Morocco whiskey.

[Говорящий 2] (16:51 - 16:54)
I said, okay, now I understand.

[Говорящий 1] (16:54 - 17:45)
Then I said, this is amazing, this garden, it makes everything I need. Then he said, six months ago we heard you are coming. There's going to be one American guest in our house.

Six months ago we planted these things for you. And we are planting, each month we plant the next thing. And we planned for you six months ago.

We are so happy that you enjoy the garden. Then of course after two months we are like family. All the people in the neighborhood, they are, I can hear knock on the door.

[Говорящий 2] (17:48 - 17:49)
Open the door.

[Говорящий 1] (17:50 - 18:04)
There's a bag of apples. There's a bag of oranges. They just heard there's one American guy living in the house.

Then of course after two months we all love each other.

[Говорящий 2] (18:08 - 18:09)
Two things.

[Говорящий 1] (18:10 - 18:16)
Don't believe everything you read in the newspaper about this country or that country's people. Everybody is same.

[Говорящий 2] (18:22 - 18:36)
But secondly, you can design this year. So we are having Chinese New Year soon.

[Говорящий 1] (18:38 - 18:43)
And you can design the next year.

[Говорящий 2] (18:43 - 18:46)
You plant the garden.

[Говорящий 1] (18:46 - 18:51)
Watermelon. Then next year carrots.

[Говорящий 2] (18:52 - 18:52)
Tomatoes.

[Говорящий 1] (18:53 - 19:11)
Mint for Morocco whiskey. If you go to Israel if you want Morocco whiskey you have to say nana. You can plant next year.

You have power.

[Говорящий 2] (19:13 - 19:15)
So there's two things.

[Говорящий 1] (19:15 - 19:17)
All the bad stuff in your life.

[Говорящий 2] (19:19 - 19:21)
Coming from you.

[Говорящий 1] (19:22 - 19:44)
The garden is growing some terrible eggplant or something. Mushroom. If you don't like mushroom, eggplant, just stop putting the feet in the garden.

But that's not his question.

[Говорящий 2] (19:46 - 19:52)
His question. You said you cannot destroy a seed.

[Говорящий 1] (19:53 - 20:25)
If you get upset at your teacher why can you destroy a seed? The Tibetan word there is very unusual. It's called chom.

I'm sure Venerable Phil knows drachomba. What is that? Arhat.

Arhat. Enemy destroyer.

[Говорящий 2] (20:26 - 20:28)
Enemy destroyer.

[Говорящий 1] (20:31 - 20:33)
Then it means destroy the enemy.

[Говорящий 2] (20:37 - 20:42)
Someone who reached Nirvana is called enemy destroyer.

[Говорящий 1] (20:44 - 21:02)
And that's the word for the seeds here. Destroy the seed. So if you're a well trained Buddhist like Johnny O then you have to interpret the word chom.

[Говорящий 2] (21:02 - 21:03)
Destroy.

[Говорящий 1] (21:07 - 21:18)
It means defuse like a bomb. So I have to tell you another story but now I can remember why.

[Говорящий 2] (21:19 - 21:22)
I have to tell you a story but now I can remember why.

[Говорящий 1] (21:24 - 21:26)
You know John Travolta, right?

[Говорящий 2] (21:27 - 21:28)
You know John Travolta, right?

[Говорящий 1] (21:28 - 22:06)
He did some movie about what's that? Disco fever. Then later when he got old he made some bad movies.

One of them is called Broken Arrow. I un-recommend this movie to you. It's a stupid movie.

[Говорящий 2] (22:08 - 22:11)
But there's one interesting part.

[Говорящий 1] (22:11 - 22:45)
So somebody has nuclear weapons. They stole the nuclear bomb and they are going to explode it. Then of course he has to stop them.

Then he find the bomb three minutes before it's supposed to blow up. Then he he got he sit on the bomb like this then he opened the top

[Говорящий 2] (22:46 - 22:46)
then he said

[Говорящий 1] (22:46 - 23:34)
there are many wires and he's like I don't know which wire then he maybe I pull this one then I'm watching the movie then I thought that's really going to hurt you know if that blow up it's better to open like this then in the last minute of course he pull out the correct wire and he save New York City

[Говорящий 2] (23:34 - 23:36)
or something like that

[Говорящий 1] (23:36 - 24:50)
so to destroy a seed you pull out the wires the nuclear material is still there you didn't really destroy it you de-wired it, defused it it will stay in your mind forever and it will never open so that's my long long answer you cannot destroy he didn't destroy that bomb he just take out the wires and it will never explode and how to do that is very interesting every time someone explains the pen to you you are pulling the wire out a little more the method to defuse

[Говорящий 2] (24:50 - 24:53)
an old karma

[Говорящий 1] (24:54 - 25:06)
is to understand it and that destroys it defuses it so we are like bomb defusers

[Говорящий 2] (25:06 - 25:11)
I suggest from the side

[Говорящий 1] (25:18 - 25:27)
then Jane will do your question tonight is that ok? we should do a little bit of book because we are supposed to
