AGOL 26, Ведомая медитация 4 — стенограмма

[Speaker 1]
Okay, here we go. So, please check your cell phone, Geshe Michael. Then pull in your stomach slightly, and keep it there.

Today, in her yoga class, Erin talked about vacuum. Pull your shoulders back a little bit. Check your eyelids.

Are they soft, not tense? And are your fingers relaxed? We're going to do ten breaths, ten very slow breaths.

Or maybe a few more. And I'd like you to try a new way of breathing. So imagine you are breathing out of your forehead.

You are breathing out and in through your forehead. The lower part of your forehead, almost between your eyebrows. Let's try—pretend that the breath is coming in and out there, and we'll take twelve, fifteen breaths.

Okay? Then I'd like you to bring your mind to this morning, and try to find the one thing you did which you think is most good karma this morning. So, check your morning.

Try to remember your morning. You will have a few choices, and choose the one thing you did which was the best. Now, in the middle of the day, what was the best thing that you did, the best karma?

And then just before this class, in the few hours before this class, what was the best thing you did?

[Speaker 2]
Now, the second law of karma, it says that each of those seeds, those three good seeds, they will multiply thousands of times before they open.

[Speaker 1]
They will create major events in your life, in the future of your life. Maybe next month, maybe in six months. So now I'd like you to go—we'll go again through the day.

We'll go again through those three good deeds, and try to imagine how they might be when they finish multiplying. So, please use your imagination. Don't be shy.

The Buddha said those seeds will multiply thousands of times. So, using your imagination, and with a lot of joy, try to imagine what beautiful thing could happen in six months from this seed. So, let's go back to the morning.

Try to remember that good seed you planted, and imagine in a few months, if this multiplies many thousands of times, what kind of experience will come to you? Be creative. Relax.

Have fun. Let your imagination exaggerate something really big. Okay, here we go.

The end karmic result of the good thing you did this morning multiplied thousands of times. Now, please move your mind to the middle of the day. Think about the best karma you did in the middle of today, and then multiply it thousands of times, and try to imagine what's going to come to you within the next few months.

[Speaker 2]
Now, please think of the good karma you did in the last few hours, and please let your imagination go big.

[Speaker 1]
Don't keep it small.

[Speaker 2]
And try to imagine a happiness which is much more than you feel nowadays, in the next few months when this karma opens, after it grows.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, here we go. Now, please come back to your breath.

[Speaker 2]
Three long exhales, and offer this good karma to other people.

[Speaker 1]
And slowly open your eyes.

[Speaker 2]
Take a stretch.
