[Говорящий 2]
Okay, we're going to talk about those three animals.

[Говорящий 1]
Thank you for practicing and being able to do it. I'm grateful. Maybe tomorrow for a hundred dollars, explain these three animals.

Wait, you guys have to show the animals.

[Говорящий 2]
Oh yeah, you do.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, let's talk about it. The bottom one looks like a cow, but it's actually a pig. It looks like a cow with a dog face, but it's a pig.

So let's say somebody criticizes you, and how does the pig think?

[Говорящий 2]
Pig thinking. Porco.

[Говорящий 1]
Yeah, he says, this person is a bad person. This person criticized me. What does the pig not say?

Thank you. No, first of all, he doesn't understand it's his own seeds. There's a joke at Diamond Mountain Retreat Center.

We had a long teaching. We explained that every stupid person you meet is coming from you. If you meet more stupid people, you are more stupid.

[Говорящий 2]
Then a lady came to the program.

[Говорящий 1]
She was a very irritating person, and one day she stood up, she said, this Diamond Mountain is a bad place.

[Говорящий 2]
I'm surrounded by stupid people. And everybody's like ...

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, understand? So, pig doesn't understand. Then, because pig doesn't understand, pig gets angry.

And that's the snake, poison snake. And then the chicken or the rooster, and sometimes they paint a pigeon. It means desire.

It's not wrong to want things. It's fine. In the Buddha paradise, everything is beautiful.

Nobody ever painted a thangka where the Buddha paradise is ugly. It's always beautiful. It's not wrong to want a beautiful life.

It's not wrong to want a Tesla car. It's okay. It's fun.

That's all right. So Geshe-la, what's the rooster? Why are we not supposed to have desire?

[Говорящий 2]
That rooster is not normal desire. That rooster is stupid desire.

[Говорящий 1]
What's the difference between intelligent desire and stupid desire? What she said is, intelligent desire, let's say you want a Tesla car.

[Говорящий 2]
Intelligent desire helps other people to get a car. Then you plant the seeds to get your Tesla car.

[Говорящий 1]
For example, last week, those two Ukrainian ladies, their house was being bombed. People around them were dying. Then we pulled them out, we brought them to Arizona.

Maybe it's worse than Ukraine, I don't know. But we pulled them out and Rob is going to buy them a new car this week. We found sponsors and they're going to get a new car this week.

By the way, people ask where's their families? Where's their husbands? Where's their sons?

They all have sons.

[Говорящий 2]
One has a 12-year-old son.

[Говорящий 1]
We can bring him, I think in the next week or two weeks. But the older sons and the husbands are all fighting.

[Говорящий 2]
They cannot leave the country.

[Говорящий 1]
So, we are trying to prepare a place for them when they can come.

[Говорящий 2]
So, as usual, the wife is doing all the work.

[Говорящий 1]
Then the husbands will come later.

[Говорящий 2]
Two of them have sons who are 30 years old and they cannot come until the war is over.

[Говорящий 1]
Anyway, what the lojong says here, yul yi du, oh, so it's not wrong to want things.

[Говорящий 2]
It's wrong to hurt other people to get them.

[Говорящий 1]
The most stupid way to get more land for your country is to try to take it from another country. The best way to get more land for your country is to share your land with other countries. But it's not wrong to want more land.

It's okay. The way you get more land is to give it to other people.

[Говорящий 2]
That's the opposite of war.

[Говорящий 1]
As long as human beings are still trying to take land when they want land, then they need lojong. And they need lojong teachers.

[Говорящий 2]
That's why the Guadalajara teachers are going on a tour of Latin America.

[Говорящий 1]
And grandpa and my friends, we will find a way to pay for the airplanes. But everybody, in English we say, get your finger in the pot. Get your finger in the dulce de leche.

In the dulce de leche.

[Говорящий 2]
Get your finger in the dulce de leche.

[Говорящий 1]
It means, give one dollar, give two dollars, something. Get your finger in the South America, Latin America tour dulce de leche. All right.

YOD GSUM PO'I GANG RANG DE DAG NA LA MI NI SEMS CAN GZHAN GYIS NA CHAG DANG SEMS KYI NGON MONGS GANG ZHIG PA NI YIN GYUR These three animals are the cause to have an unhappy life. And RANG NAS SEMS CAN THAMS CAD CHAG DANG THI MUG MED PA'I DGE RTZA DANG LDAN PAR CHE SONG YANG BA'O'I RIG PAS GZHIN GYIS ZHES When in the lojong, when we try to take other people's trouble, so part of the lojong practice is to take other people's trouble. And it's very sweet to do it anonymously, like Jesus said.

In his time, it was a very good custom to fasting, not to eat in the morning.

[Говорящий 2]
Then he said, when you're fasting, keep it secret.

[Говорящий 1]
Try not to look hungry. What's up? Are you fasting?

Like this.

[Говорящий 2]
So you're supposed to keep it secret.

[Говорящий 1]
So there's a lojong practice here. Take other people's trouble, take it anonymously, and try to feel that you are taking the three animals away from them also. Who caused the bombs in Kiev?

Who caused the bombs?

[Говорящий 2]
Who's bombing Kiev?

[Говорящий 1]
Kiev people.

[Говорящий 2]
They are bombing Kiev.

[Говорящий 1]
The other people are just the instrument of the animals.

[Говорящий 2]
When you meet an irritating person, I need a pen.

[Говорящий 1]
Just throw it. They are coming from you. Every irritating person you meet is coming from you.

Excuse me for bad language, don't tell Veronica. Every asshole you meet is coming from another asshole. And that's you.

Anyone who bombs your city is coming from you. So actually, if the Latin America tour is a success, then people will start to understand that. And then maybe the bombing will ...

[Говорящий 2]
we can stop the bombing.

[Говорящий 1]
In the Vietnam War, I went to jail. I was put in jail.

[Говорящий 2]
I protested against it.

[Говорящий 1]
My priest, I was living with a couple of priests. There was several hundred people in the jail. After 24 hours, he came and rescued me.

He said, I don't know what he did, but he said something to the jail people. I got out, only one. Then many people, my friends, they said, this is stupid, we went to jail.

[Говорящий 2]
We stayed in the jail for six months.

[Говорящий 1]
To get out, we had to pay like a couple thousand dollars. Then the government used that money to make more bombs. Then we said, this is stupid.

We cannot stop the war. So, actually, how to stop the war?

[Говорящий 2]
We have to stop our own emotions of anger.

[Говорящий 1]
Because the war is coming from that. So, don't tell me you can't do anything to help that war. You can.

[Говорящий 2]
If you turn on the news, and you see the news about the war, that news is coming from you.

[Говорящий 1]
As long as you see the news, there's something wrong with you.

[Говорящий 2]
So, everybody has a chance to stop that war.

[Говорящий 1]
We can all stop the war. Because we created the war. So, stop being angry at your family members.

Control your mind, and then the war will stop. So, you don't have to go to jail. You don't have to do this thing.

[Говорящий 2]
Just stop making the seeds.

[Говорящий 1]
We all have power to stop a war which is 10,000 miles away.

[Говорящий 2]
And it's very cool.

[Говорящий 1]
All right, so what he says here, if you're a very strong person, when you take away other people's pain, imagine you also taking away their three animals. I will take away, I will invite you to America.

[Говорящий 2]
I will get you a visa.

[Говорящий 1]
I will commit to pay for your expenses. We've committed for two years Rob, that's all. After that they have to go to work.

By the way, they're going to work in the cafe as long as they want to. So, anyway, I will pay your expenses for two years. But while I take your expenses, I will also take your anger.

And I will also take your pig. Okay, you don't understand what I'm saying.

[Говорящий 2]
You don't understand the pig.

[Говорящий 1]
I will take it.

[Говорящий 2]
I will also eat your misunderstanding.

[Говорящий 1]
So, first level Lojong practice. I will take your pain. I will take your pain, your suffering.

I will take you from Kiev.

[Говорящий 2]
I will bring you to my home. I will pay your expenses. But on a deeper level, I will take your misunderstanding and I will destroy it in the tonglen practice.

I will take the source of the world away. Cool?

[Говорящий 1]
Okay. So, if you're a real Lojong person, it's not enough just to take away their pig. You have to eat their pig also.

[Говорящий 2]
Take away their misunderstanding.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, all right. Next idim. You guys got an idim for me?

This is, I don't know, I tried to look up like Walt Disney. In the book, it's called The City of Happiness. And the next subject is called The City of Happiness.

TSE PA DANG NA MTSA SOGS THAMS CAD KYIS LEN TSAG CHEN DRIN DU MTHONG NAS What causes conflict in the world? If you look for the TSA BA, TSA BA means the root.

[Говорящий 2]
If you look for the root, it's my habit to take care of myself first.

[Говорящий 1]
Who caused the war in Europe?

[Говорящий 2]
Each one of us.

[Говорящий 1]
How did you cause it?

[Говорящий 2]
I took care of myself first.

[Говорящий 1]
And that created the war. It's very deep. Everybody has power to stop the war.

Even if you're sitting in Guadalajara, you have power to stop it.

[Говорящий 2]
Stop taking care of yourself first. Take care of other people first. The war will stop.

The war is coming from us.

[Говорящий 1]
MTHONG NAS RANG GI LAS NGAN PA'I BDE BU ZAD PA'I RGYU DANG GZHAN GYI SDUG BSNGAL So, if you know that the war is happening because you are taking care of yourself first, then every time something bad happens to you personally, you should feel more and more relajante. Very more relaxed. Did you have a bad day?

[Говорящий 2]
Yes. That's great. That was amazing.

[Говорящий 1]
What? I'm so glad you had a bad day. I thought you were a Buddhist.

[Говорящий 2]
Why are you so glad I had a bad day?

[Говорящий 1]
Think how many bad seeds you used up.

[Говорящий 2]
We should have a celebration.

[Говорящий 1]
Every time something terrible happens to a lojong person, they're like, I'm so glad I used up the seed today and I didn't have to wait until tomorrow because by tomorrow the seed is double. Nice translator. Here it says, SKYE NGAN GROG ZHUGS SHAR SKYE NGAN GROG ZHUGS SHAR means trouble is your friend.

[Говорящий 2]
And don't think of it as a problem.

[Говорящий 1]
Every time, I want to say a bad word but I know my wife won't approve. Something up.

[Говорящий 2]
When the world, you should be happy.

[Говорящий 1]
Wow, so many bad seeds opened today. My bad seed bank account went down today. I'm so happy.

Alright, that's a real lojong person. When you can think like that, you have traveled to the city of happiness. And that's the picture of the the last idiot.

How do you get to this city of happiness? Be happy when you have trouble. Every idiot can be happy when things are going well.

[Говорящий 2]
Every idiot? Idiot. Stupid person.

When things don't go good? When things are going well. Any stupid person can be happy.

The sign of a real practitioner is you are also happy when things are going bad.

[Говорящий 1]
If you're happy when things are going good and if you're happy when things are going bad, how often are you happy? Always. And that's a real lojong practitioner.

[Говорящий 2]
Those people you meet who are happy all the time, it's not that they don't have problems.

[Говорящий 1]
It's that they know how to change the problem into happiness.

[Говорящий 2]
It's how to change the problem into happiness.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay? When you meet really happy people, sometimes they have terrible, terrible things happening in their personal life. But they know how to change it to happiness.

They are happy they are using up their bad seeds. And, there's another technique. And I'm going to read it.

SKYEN NGAN CHUNG ZAD TZAM YANG MI THEG PA means usually you and me, if we have a small problem, we feel overwhelmed. I'm supposed to sing a song in Guadalajara and the microphone stopped working at that very moment. It's so bad.

Then he said, if you're a real Buddhist, you learn how to use problems to help you. And he gives an example. In Tibet there was no cars.

My teacher asked me to teach him how to drive. He never even saw a bicycle. His whole life in Tibet they didn't have one car.

Then he said, can you teach me how to drive the car?

[Говорящий 2]
Then I was very stupid, I said yes.

[Говорящий 1]
It took like six years. I almost died many times. I remember one day we are driving to a small neighborhood, very quiet.

[Говорящий 2]
One guy is mowing his lawn and he had like three garbage cans waiting for the garbage truck in the front of the house.

[Говорящий 1]
My teacher has a problem when he drives. His hand is connected to his eyes. So he's driving.

Then I say, be careful.

[Говорящий 2]
And he's like, what? And he was like, what? Then he hit all the garbage cans.

He smashed all the garbage cans.

[Говорящий 1]
Then the guy is like, then I said, sorry.

[Говорящий 2]
Then I said, quick, drive to the highway.

[Говорящий 1]
He's going 20 miles an hour in a 75 mile hour drive. Then this guy come up to him, make a special sign. He said, what's that mean?

I said, oh, he's just saying welcome to our country. So in Tibet, there's no cars and people when they go to sell, like they go to another city to sell something, and they have to walk and they have to take a horse and it starts to rain.

[Говорящий 2]
If you are a lojong person, you say, I'm so glad it's raining because robbers don't like to go out in the bad weather.

[Говорящий 1]
So nobody will mug you. By the way, if you don't want to get mugged in a big city like New York, just walk around at 5 o'clock in the morning. All the muggers are sleepy.

They don't like to wake up early to get mugged. Or maybe they are watching Peachtree Show, I don't know.

[Говорящий 2]
So it means you can find something good about every problem.

[Говорящий 1]
You can say, oh, I'm so happy it's raining. Me and Aldo, we understand the problem of rain. Rain.

No hair. It's very loud. What it means, there's something good about every problem.

If you're going to practice this lojong, look for the, look how to use the problem for something good. Always, you can use every problem for something good. Like I had a problem in my cafe.

Black Hole Cafe.

[Говорящий 2]
I mean Peachtree Cafe.

[Говорящий 1]
When money comes close to the cafe, it disappears.

[Говорящий 2]
Sometimes I call it Black Hole Cafe.

[Говорящий 1]
Then we couldn't get all the licenses to open. Many, many licenses. And the local government people are, either they're very lazy or they want something.

Then I have a policy, I don't give bribes. So, the opening went slower and slower and slower. So, it's a problem.

[Говорящий 2]
It's a skill in life.

[Говорящий 1]
When you have a problem, use it. And make something good out of the problem. So, I put a goddamn recording studio and tech in the cafe and we created Peachtree World News.

Because you don't need a food license.

[Говорящий 2]
And we opened the cafe and we did the Peachtree World News.

[Говорящий 1]
So, the problem became a big benefit.

[Говорящий 2]
Every problem is usable for something. So, open your mind.

[Говорящий 1]
Don't be whiny. I have a problem. The government won't give me the food license.

[Говорящий 2]
Shut up and do something cool. That's a new mantra.

[Говорящий 1]
You got a rosary? Anybody have a rosary? Mala?

Use your problems. And then, amazing, the Peachtree show is much more important than the cafe. It helps much more people.

[Говорящий 2]
So, every problem you can use it for something. And that's lojong.

[Говорящий 1]
In fact, if you get very good at turning problems into opportunities, you will start to pray, I hope I have a problem today. Oh God, please send me extra problem. I need extra opportunity.

Okay, learn it. That's why you're here. No whining for the next six months.

[Говорящий 2]
Just happy face.

[Говорящий 1]
If I meet you in one month, Daniel, why do you look so happy? Oh Geshe-la, I got more problems.

[Говорящий 2]
I use them for opportunities. He gives another example.

[Говорящий 1]
When it rains and you are walking through Tibet with valuable things to sell then the robbers don't bother you.

[Говорящий 2]
When it snows, when the rain stops and the snow starts, in Tibet they don't have good horseshoes so the horses will break their hooves on the stone but when it snows it's automatic cushion.

[Говорящий 1]
The horses' hooves never break during snow. If you're walking from Guadalajara to I don't know, what do you call that place on the Chalapa?

[Говорящий 2]
Chalapa, okay.

[Говорящий 1]
If you're traveling from Guadalajara to Chalapa and don't tell me it's pronounced wrong and if it snows you should be happy. Much easier for my automobile tires.

[Говорящий 2]
Much smoother.

[Говорящий 1]
You can always find something positive in your problems and I say you can always make profit from your problems.

[Говорящий 2]
After we opened the Peachtree show before we sold one coffee at the cafe we made a profit already.

[Говорящий 1]
The cafe already made like six months profit.

[Говорящий 2]
So just be happy with problems and learn to use them.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, we got, I know Tim we got 12 minutes, right? Alright, how many cats? Okay, that was a great video you guys.

I love to embarrass Tim. So Shantideva ate the tea? Seriously?

Okay, alright.

[Говорящий 2]
I'll turn the problem into an opportunity.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, Shantideva said a very, very famous verse and I use this quotation every day. GAL TE CHOS SU YOD NA NI DE LA MI RGA CHI CHI YOD GAL TE CHOS SU MED NA NI DE LA RGA BA DE LA MI RGA CHI CHI PHEN When you have a problem if there's something you can do about it then god damn it do it.

[Говорящий 2]
If you have a problem and there's nothing you can do about it then god damn it just relax. End of story.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, that's Shantideva.

[Говорящий 2]
I'll say it again. If you have a problem if there's something you can do about it then please shut up and just do it. Don't tell me about your problems.

If you have a problem and there's nothing you can do about it today you can also shut up because there's nothing you can do and just relax.

[Говорящий 1]
And it's very beautiful advice and probably you'll get a chance to use it today.

[Говорящий 2]
So don't be afraid of problems and don't think problems are a bad thing. Problems are empty. All things are empty.

[Говорящий 1]
What's emptiness? What's vacuidad?

[Говорящий 2]
It means no problem is a real problem.

[Говорящий 1]
Inside every problem there's a great opportunity.

[Говорящий 2]
If a problem is a problem to you it's your fault. If you can be a super creative person every problem becomes a great opportunity. Decide.

[Говорящий 1]
I'm going to stop whining oh I have a problem, I can't do anything.

[Говорящий 2]
Just learn to tell yourself ah shut up. People say oh I want to study diamond ray.

[Говорящий 1]
I want to study tantra. I want to study the secret ray.

[Говорящий 2]
I'll tell you the secret way.

[Говорящий 1]
There's a secret opportunity inside of every problem and you just have to have an attitude when a problem comes to you. It's like a math problem in third class in the elementary school. Oh my wife is yelling at me this morning.

There must be an opportunity here. Then it's like the teacher said you figure it out. You're like okay there's a problem.

There's supposed to be an opportunity inside of it.

[Говорящий 2]
Then just pretend life is quizzing you. It's like a game. It's like those television game shows you have to guess the answer.

[Говорящий 1]
Life will give you a problem. Then can you guess the opportunity?

[Говорящий 2]
No. Try harder. Life will give you problems.

There's an opportunity inside of each one. Life wants you to figure it out. Take it like a game.

[Говорящий 1]
Have fun.

[Говорящий 2]
When you have a problem have fun with it.

[Говорящий 1]
Just say, there's some kind of opportunity inside here.

[Говорящий 2]
Everything that happens to you can become an opportunity.

[Говорящий 1]
I use this. We started a business with $50,000 loan.

[Говорящий 2]
It became the largest diamond jewelry company in the world. Quarter billion dollars every year.

[Говорящий 1]
How you do that?

[Говорящий 2]
Take the problem and find the opportunity hiding inside.

[Говорящий 1]
Every problem is an opportunity to make more money.

[Говорящий 2]
You just have to figure it out.

[Говорящий 1]
Do that ten times every day and then Warren Buffet will buy your company. Stop whining. The time it takes to whine about problems, you are losing time.

[Говорящий 2]
Just take it as a riddle, as a puzzle.

[Говорящий 1]
Somewhere in this problem there's an opportunity.

[Говорящий 2]
I'm supposed to figure it out. That's what meditation is for. My teacher, he got in a car accident before I met him.

[Говорящий 1]
He hit his throat. He talks just like Star Wars.

[Говорящий 2]
Darth Vader.

[Говорящий 1]
Every problem is an opportunity.

[Говорящий 2]
Every time a problem comes to you, there's a chance to find an opportunity.

[Говорящий 1]
If you take the problem as a problem, then the problem is you. Good translator. We'll keep going.

DE YANG RGA ZHIG LA NA LTAR SOGS KYIS NA STE MA ZHIG TZAM CHUNG BA NA LAM RIM SOGS LA THOB PA CHOS TU LTA BU'I MYUN KHYEN Yeah, next idim you guys. I'm hoping you guys will I'm hoping you guys will learn the idims. Then you don't have to memorize the whole book.

There's a meditation you can do.

[Говорящий 2]
Just bring the pictures one by one.

[Говорящий 1]
Then you know the whole week's program. You can remember.

[Говорящий 2]
Memorize the pictures. Tomorrow I will give $100 for each picture we had so far. We had 17 pictures already.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay? So, ask the tech guys if you don't have the pictures.

[Говорящий 2]
Tomorrow I will check the 17 pictures so far.

[Говорящий 1]
I will give $100 for each picture. Okay? I mean 17 different people.

Okay. so what he says with this picture, even people who never went to Primavera, Villa Primavera, they will have lojong breakthroughs if they have disaster. One of the purpose of lam rim is to recognize the suffering of life.

[Говорящий 2]
By the way, it's not depressing. Then, you know, a real Buddhist teacher, I'm supposed to tell you you're going to get old, you're going to get sick, your face will fill with wrinkles, you will forget every teaching you ever had, you will die in a hospital bed, you will do permanent shavasana.

[Говорящий 1]
That's my job. My job is to tell you all these things.

[Говорящий 2]
But for lojong person, that kind of life is perfect. It's full of opportunities. Every time something bad happens to you, you can make something good.

And then the Lama in this section, he says even normal people understand that.

[Говорящий 1]
Some people go to ACI retreat in Guadalajara and they learn renunciation. This life is very short and very painful. Then I should do something to help other people.

Then he said it's human nature to understand that.

[Говорящий 2]
And a normal person, they never heard of ACI. They get cancer. They go to the hospital.

They are laying there all day.

[Говорящий 1]
Those people develop Buddhist attitudes automatically. Suffering has this good quality. They start to wonder what's going to happen after.

[Говорящий 2]
The cancer becomes their Buddhist Lama and they start to have all these questions, Buddhist questions.

[Говорящий 1]
So he says, look, even people who never heard about lojo, the normal pain they have teaches them to be gentle and kind to other people.

[Говорящий 2]
So if you're, if you sit in this class, you should be happy when those stuff happens to you.

[Говорящий 1]
You're going to become a more sensitive person and you will understand other people's problems. When they put me in the wheelchair in the airport, suddenly I had compassion for all the people in the wheelchair in the airport and that was the first time I ever had compassion for all the people in the wheelchair in the airport. Then he's always saying a real lojong person has to go farther.

[Говорящий 2]
I'm so happy I got cancer. Now I can really do all those meditations that Geshe-la taught me all those years. Now I can do the real one.

[Говорящий 1]
Then you want to go to the advanced version? Like, I went to the advanced I went to the, I had a very funny time a couple of years ago.

[Говорящий 2]
My teacher's nephew came to Diamond Mountain Geshe Lothar he's the former debate master of Sarah and he helped me a lot in my life.

[Говорящий 1]
He helped me finish the Geshe then he came to visit you know and on that day I got a gall gall bladder like blew up or something. Extremely painful and Venerable Jigme is going to drive me to the hospital.

[Говорящий 2]
It's two hours away and I actually had to lie down on the floor and she's getting the car and Geshe Lothar's like everybody stop.

[Говорящий 1]
Why? Oh Geshe Michael I wrote a prayer for you.

[Говорящий 2]
I wrote a long life prayer for you. It took me like six weeks.

[Говорящий 1]
Can you just stay a few minutes and I will read it? I'm like I'm like this you know I got to go Geshe Lothar. Then he said no I will just read it okay?

[Говорящий 2]
I said Geshe I'm going to be the first person who died during his long life prayer.

[Говорящий 1]
So anyway it was a long prayer and then Jigme drove me to the hospital I was yelling the whole way it hurt so much. So then I went there and they put me in the hospital they did the operation and this is a true story when I woke up there's a lady looking at me right over me she's like and she's Tibetan and I'm like I woke up from the anesthesia I'm like who are you? Where am I?

She said my name is Tsering which means long life and I'm like of course your name is Tsering and I'm like what are you doing here?

[Говорящий 2]
She said I'm your doctor I said what? I said I don't know there's any Tibetans in Tucson Arizona she says there's two and I'm your doctor and I'm like wow that's really cool then the guy next to me he had a heart transplant very dangerous and we became good friends she used to give me this she used to come and say did you enjoy the painkiller? I'm like yeah which one you like better?

[Говорящий 1]
That second one I feel like I'm swimming in an ocean

[Говорящий 2]
of warm water

[Говорящий 1]
she's like okay

[Говорящий 2]
we'll give you that one

[Говорящий 1]
then the guy next to me he's very nervous because they're going to cut open his heart and we were talking for a lot and I'm thinking I already have a serious

[Говорящий 2]
problem

[Говорящий 1]
but Lo Jong says I'm supposed to take

[Говорящий 2]
his problem also

[Говорящий 1]
and it was really hard I just want to tell him you know that curtain you can close the curtain I'm like can we close the curtain

[Говорящий 2]
I don't want to

[Говорящий 1]
I have enough problems

[Говорящий 2]
I don't want to but if you're Lo Jong person then even when you're having serious problems

[Говорящий 1]
you have to embrace

[Говорящий 2]
other problems

[Говорящий 1]
and in the end it's more opportunities

[Говорящий 2]
they will give you more opportunities when you have a problem

[Говорящий 1]
don't try to

[Говорящий 2]
avoid the problem

[Говорящий 1]
look for extra problems

[Говорящий 2]
and take more problems question comes up in the ancient books

[Говорящий 1]
how many problems

[Говорящий 2]
is too many problems

[Говорящий 1]
like Geshe-la if I have a breakdown and they take me to the mental asylum can I stop taking new problems

[Говорящий 2]
Geshe-la if suddenly my mind breaks and they take me to the mental asylum can I stop having problems but a Lam Rim answer is

[Говорящий 1]
the more problems you take the more capacity you get and human capacity for problems has no limit every time you think

[Говорящий 2]
you're too tired

[Говорящий 1]
every time you think you took enough problems from other people

[Говорящий 2]
you can take more human nature is infinite that's why you can become Buddha

[Говорящий 1]
there's no limit

[Говорящий 2]
to how many problems you can take

[Говорящий 1]
if the Lama thinks

[Говорящий 2]
you are not a good student

[Говорящий 1]
they will say oh you know if it gets too much just take a rest and watch Netflix for a few hours

[Говорящий 2]
but if the Lama

[Говорящий 1]
believes in you they will say go look for some more problems what to do when you're about to have an over problem breakdown the best way to fix over problem breakdown syndrome is to take some more problems

[Говорящий 2]
and you'll feel better

[Говорящий 1]
okay got it

[Говорящий 2]
you have that capacity your capacity is infinite don't believe you are less than that

[Говорящий 1]
you can take countless problems I'll give a thousand dollars for the famous quotation

[Говорящий 2]
five four three two canceled what

[Говорящий 1]
try it's too long the answer is too long okay here's the answer don't do it I can't afford it you can sleep on the plane

[Говорящий 2]
that's what they say

[Говорящий 1]
in my office they say can you stay extra 12 hours overtime then you can sleep on the plane when you fly to Thailand to buy some diamonds

[Говорящий 2]
you can sleep on the plane

[Говорящий 1]
all right you can always take more

[Говорящий 2]
okay

[Говорящий 1]
your capacity is infinite and don't believe it when people tell you something else

[Говорящий 2]
if you're going to have

[Говорящий 1]
a big breakdown and you're going to call me then please take a rest but your capacity is infinite

[Говорящий 2]
okay

[Говорящий 1]
we just finished the introduction to the 19th day we didn't go to the teaching yet so it was like

[Говорящий 2]
two, three hours

[Говорящий 1]
that was the introduction to the next day and now we're ready to start the actual class and it starts out with JOR BA'I RGYUR BA JOR BA'I RGYUR BA

[Говорящий 2]
RGYUR BA means transform

[Говорящий 1]
and there's different ways

[Говорящий 2]
to transform problems

[Говорящий 1]
you can take an action

[Говорящий 2]
which transforms the problem

[Говорящий 1]
or you can look at the problem

[Говорящий 2]
a different way

[Говорящий 1]
and right now he reached a new part it's called actions you can take

[Говорящий 2]
to transform problems

[Говорящий 1]
and there are four actions

[Говорящий 2]
that he mentions

[Говорящий 1]
I'll just give you the four names

[Говорящий 2]
and then we'll take a break

[Говорящий 1]
and when we come back I'll explain them number one how do you say increase your karmic bank account how do you say crank up

[Говорящий 2]
crank up your karmic bank account

[Говорящий 1]
do some just before you do something important there's a tradition do some really good karma fast like if you're going to have an important business meeting or you're about to call the girl you met at the nightclub then just one minute super karma collection

[Говорящий 2]
then call her

[Говорящий 1]
like that like there's a special method just before you do something important do like a one minute meditation for some really good seeds

[Говорящий 2]
I don't know, I have a friend he's buying a new house

[Говорящий 1]
and you're going to someone calls you

[Говорящий 2]
they want to buy it

[Говорящий 1]
then don't call them back do a one minute super karma collection then call them what's the other half of that do a purification do like a now it's two minutes you have to delay the phone call before you call back the handsome boy you met

[Говорящий 2]
at the nightclub

[Говорящий 1]
do a one minute super karma collection and do a one minute

[Говорящий 2]
purification

[Говорящий 1]
like what's the worst

[Говорящий 2]
thing you did in the last three days just say it

[Говорящий 1]

[Говорящий 1]
churros are very good something like that alright, we'll talk more about it fourth one ask for dharma protector help

[Говорящий 2]
ask for good spirits help

[Говорящий 1]
there's a big argument in Tibetan Buddhist people right now about one

[Говорящий 2]
certain dharma protector

[Говорящий 1]
I think the whole thing is stupid and I don't get involved with it at all and I'm not talking about that dharma protector

[Говорящий 2]
but there are thousands of dharma protectors

[Говорящий 1]
999 are very sweet

[Говорящий 2]
and no controversy

[Говорящий 1]
so I will teach you how to

[Говорящий 2]
ask them for help

[Говорящий 1]
and those are four practices

[Говорящий 2]
after the break

[Говорящий 1]
and thank you all thank you all
