Классика Алмазного огранщика: Нижний Срединный путь — Анализ зависимости, занятие 22

[Speaker 1]
Sadhguru chants Rinpoche chants Sankhya chants Rinpoche chants Are you okay with that? Yes. No.

No? No. I think that's what we discussed.

No? Yeah. He quoted an old commentary to the Abhidharmakosha that said, Arhats have karma that came from their previous period in their lifetimes when they still hadn't seen emptiness directly.

And they don't have ma ngepa, but... How do you say it? Oh, mepa ma ngepa.

It's not that they don't have that karma. Meaning they do have that karma. But they don't have targe.

They don't have... Negative emotions. Negative emotions.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
That's a Abhidharma term for them. Saddle white. Okay.

All Arhats have... Eliminated? Yeah.

This means like revealed. Revealed. Tarawa.

[Speaker 2]
So eliminated.

[Speaker 1]
As the... Namdao. Namdao.

[Speaker 2]
Probably a stamina number.

[Speaker 1]
It's always a stamina number. Pramanavartika. Pramanavartika.

Okay. So I think this is misspelled. And what we can do...

I'll just show you how to make your life faster. Copy it. Go to Gopher if your Gopher works.

Just paste it in, you see? Which are we going? Sumbum, Kangyur or Tengyur?

This should be Sumbum. Nope. No?

India is Kangyur or Tengyur. Tengyur, okay. Yeah, Tengyur is non-Buddha.

Supposedly. Oh, okay. Or Namdao.

Yeah. Now, just glance down here. Is it Semenamdao?

It happens to be... Yeah, so it's what... You don't have to go any farther.

And this is spelled R-N-A-M. Mm-hmm. Okay.

So, guess what? I'm right. You're right.

Okay? This is a pluralizer. This is very much overcome.

So anyway, they have won the war against the desire for existence. This is a concept we're going to learn later, when we discuss 8 and 10. Okay?

There's different versions of it. Therefore, they cannot throw a newcomer, other newcomer, in the loop of Mayan day. Because they have finished off the sentient chicken, the contributing factor.

Which is what, Gibson? 8 and 9. Yeah, 8 and 9.

Sorry. They've gotten rid of the attitudes which arm the bone. It's not that they got rid of the bone.

They just got rid of the contributing factor. So the thing can't go off. All right.

All right, here we go. Nice. You should teach these guys pronunciation.

Which is miyor. Okay. Miyor means it cannot be diverted.

Okay? It's on a certain trajectory, and it cannot be diverted. It's going to make a...

And usually it refers to which desire realm, form realm, form realm. Oh. But we'll see.

I think he has an exception. So this is an old division in the Abhidharma of different kinds of karma, which you guys had downstairs. They say there's three.

One of the divisions is into three. Good karma in the desire realm, bad karma in the desire realm, and then what they call undiverted karma, which means form of formless form, which is always a good karma, but dirty good karma. So that's one division in the Abhidharma of karma.

Good karma in the desire realm, bad karma in the desire realm. Sunam, sunam mayimba, and miyor. Cannot be diverted.

We'll go to the form of formless form. Okay. So he says if a karma is serving as the second link, right?

Then it's possible it's undivertable, or it's good karma in the desire realm. But no one thing can be both. No one thing can be both.

You can't have a karma which is both good karma in the desire realm and undivertable karma for the higher realms, which sounds correct. You got it? You cannot have one karma which is good karma in the desire realm and which is undivertable karma, okay?

He says no such thing. Which one do you... no such thing is indicated by?

Gyal. Gyal, oh. They are contradictory.

Gyal means no one thing can be both. You can say contradictory, but the meaning is no one thing can be both. Red and white are contradictory.

Being all white and being all red are contradictory. No one object can be both. So our counterexample is going to be interesting to me.

Something that should be both?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

[Speaker 1]
I like your chit-chin. It's very sexy. Chit-chin.

Let's take the second link, French karma, okay? Let's take the unshifting karma, which is acting as the second link of a dependent chain, okay? Yes, it is good karma.

Because it's unshifting karma of the type which is acting as the second link. Now, he's done... what do you call it when you change terms?

Convocation. He's done a convocation. Generally, you can say there's good karma and bad karma.

Sunim and sunim mayemba. Sunim means gewa, punya. Sunim yoshi tso tso shi, sunim yoshi mayemba.

So, generally, it has a general meaning of good karma. But in the Abhidharma division into three, it's good karma in the desire realm, and it cannot mix with unshifting karma, which is form or formless realm. See what I mean?

So, we have shifted the meaning of good karma. We took it in the general meaning. See what I mean?

All unshifting karma, meaning all karma which projects into the form and formless realm, is good karma, generally. So, we just changed the word sunim. Okay, got it?

It's not fair. Who's being unfair? We are.

He's obviously interested in the three-part Abhidharma division into sunim, sunim mayemba, and miyowa. But we took the sunim out and gave it the general meaning as gewa. Which includes miyowa.

Yeah, which includes miyowa. Which includes the karma that gets you to the form and formless realm. Okay?

We're being unfair. But we're always right. Just like a parent.

Okay.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
What is sukyo? What is sukyo? That's a very good question.

This is the Danyi grammar case, Udpala's grammar case. Kyurpa is the past tense of to become. So, it means which is.

And you've got to get used to that. It's the most common adjectival clause in Tibetan. Danyi grammar case followed by past tense of gyurpa, which means which is.

Going backwards, karma, unshifting karma, which is the second link. Okay? So, the syntax is CBA, you know, and you have to switch it around for English.

Unshifting karma, which is acting as a second link. Okay? That's the syntax.

It's reverse of English.

[Speaker 2]
It's always which is.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, and it's very interesting. I remember the day I figured it out. And I was so excited.

I ran into Art, who was my nemesis. I said, look at this. This means which is.

He said, yeah. Okay. Okay.

This is confusing. This should have been Mayan. Yeah.

Mayan Batala. This should have been Mayan Batala. in my opinion.

Tell me why. Are you telling me it's not Sunim? He said they were contradictory.

He said if it continues the second link, it can't be Anshutti Karma and Sunim at the same time. And we said, okay, then take Anshutti Karma, which is acting as the second link. You're telling me it's not Sunim, right?

But you have a mihya-wa. That's different. And then finally he said, yeah, I agree.

That Anshutti Karma is not Sunim. I agree. Here he agreed.

Then we say, you can't agree to that. You can't say it's not Sunim. Okay, so this has to be mihya-wa.

Our telangir, which is always sarcastic, is, are you telling me it's not Sunim? Now, he should have said, right, it's not Sunim in this division, in this three divisions. But he didn't go that way.

He got desperate and he said, yeah, okay, I agree. Okay, Sunim ki lei, mayin. Then we said, what's duna mean?

Miyo-we lei. Yela miwa duchi ki lei se gyepi miyo-we lei, de. Sunim mayin ba du.

Sunim mayin ba du. I agree that it's not Sunim, okay? That karma which is sending somebody to the form of the formless realm.

I agree it's not Sunim. Which technically it's not, if you're sticking to this division. But we said, we went outside, we went to the broader meaning of Sunim.

Oh, of course it's Sunim, because it's gyewa. Okay, of course it's Sunim, it's gyewa. That means we went to the general meaning of Sunim, which is not fair.

Okay, we switched horses in the middle. Okay, I thought you'd like to have a footnote that gives this three-part division in the Abhidharmakosha. Okay, here's the Janel Shepit Dorje.

You can write a bibliography entry. I expect lots of bibliography entries to start popping up tomorrow. Okay, Sunim dukham gyewa lei.

Sunim means good karma of the desire realm. This is root text of the Abhidharmakosha. Myo-wa koma lei gyewa kaam-chir, sani-de-da-tu len-nam min-chir myo-chir.

It's called unshifting because these karmas are going to ripen into these higher koma realms. Into a birth in the higher realms. Koma means?

Higher. Higher realms. It's also the word for koma.

On top? I told Stanley a couple times because I thought he might be interested. It's the Tibetan word for the Chinese emperor.

It means the big guy. But here it also means the two higher realms. Okay.

In philosophy it means the two higher realms. When you say gyeli koma, it's always the Chinese emperor. And they would often refer to the Chinese emperor as the most powerful guy in the world.

If you keep doing this, you're going to be gyeli koma. Okay. And then, read this.

Ignore my note, okay? This is what we are using. What do you call that, Ben?

You're my dictionary. Equivocation. Equivocation.

Okay. You're changing the term in the middle. Please read this sentence.

Nice. Nice. Perfect footnote.

Perfect footnote, okay? Translate.

[Speaker 2]
Consider an existing thing. No, all things.

[Speaker 1]
Consider the universe. Okay. It's just an artificial way to say whatever you want to say.

Let's talk about the universe. There is a division into three. There is a division into three.

Sunim, etc. Sunim, etc. And Sunim, by the way, is a popular Tibetan name.

The director of our input project in India is called Sunim. I'm going to meet her in about a week or two. One can capture the name and translate it as Sunim.

What's that? Oh, yeah, we have some Sunims here. So there is a division into the three.

By the way, Adi in Sanskrit can mean, which starts with, you know, it doesn't have to mean etc. So there is a division into three starting with Sunim. And then he's going to define them.

So this is a perfect footnote. Say again? Say again?

Yeah, good karma in the desire realm is what we call Sunim. That's the first. And, migerele, dṛpe, distributes.

Dṛpe distributes in the desire realm. Bad karma in the desire realm is called Sunim, non-Sunim.

[Speaker 2]
Non-virtue, all non-Sunim.

[Speaker 1]
And koma, higher two realms. The karma there is called miyo, unshifting. And we're going to hear more about unshifting.

There's some famous silly examples. Okay? Not too silly.

Okay? In fact, we're just about to go there. Okay, so we have equivocated, we have switched, we switched out of this three-part division and we're using Sunim in its general sense, which all miyo-rele is gyewa.

All karma ascending into the former formless realm has to be yimbata. You think so? It should be.

So all the karmas we had in Dr. Wu's text has to get you into the former formless realm of virtue. That's what the gyewa is. So pride is gyewa.

Pride is gyewa. Oh, okay. Four kinds of pride.

Okay, that's for the debate ground. You know, the teachers in the class, they say, take that to the debate ground. He'll tell the students, you know, you guys go stretch it out.

Let me know tomorrow what you decide. It's a nice system. He'll say, this is a problem.

You guys take it to the debate ground. And they will go for four or five hours. Some guys refuse to go home.

Everybody else is watching their clock, you know. As soon as it's nine o'clock, everybody runs home. Then there's like five guys standing there until three in the morning.

[Speaker 2]
Yelling at each other.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. Who knows what they're saying. Okay, go on.

So this is a famous, interesting ... I mean, it has a lot of meaning for DCI, for example. It's next to me.

Kachik Nare, ki nam min gyi phungpo phungpo mpheng che gyi nyong ye kyi le yin na rang ni gyi phang te phang te ki nam min gyi phungpo yi te kyap sen Yeah. ki nam min gyi phungpo nam min gyi phungpo means the body and mind which have ripened from karma. Okay, body and mind.

You can say five parts, right? In English, we tend to say body and mind. We don't separate out three of the mental functions.

So, body and mind, nam min means karmically ripened into a dog pheng che, which is going to project the body and mind of a dog. Okay. Nyong ye means definitely going to be experienced.

No choice. It's some kind of done with powerful emotion towards a powerful object, blah, blah, blah, with powerful ignorance. And nyong ye means must be experienced.

Nyong wa means experienced. So, nyong ye means definitely to be experienced. Nothing can cancel it.

Okay. Le yin na If it's karma, which is definitely going to be experienced and is meant to project the body and mind ripening into a dog's rebirth, okay, then there must exist, yup, down here, okay, a body and mind which ripens into a dog which it has projected. Okay.

There must be going to be a dog body and mind which it projects because it's karma which is projecting a body and mind of a dog and is certain to be experienced. Got it?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Right. So, if there's a karma which is certain to be experienced which is throwing a dog's body and mind, then there must be a corresponding body and mind coming.

[Speaker 2]
Okay. Right.

[Speaker 1]
A dog body and mind coming. And we say ma gyo.

[Speaker 2]
Apparently, you could be born as a dog and be born as a fairy.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, you were looking at my English, you know. This is called mating season dependent. And by the way, for you people who've been downstairs, this is saying the skinny guy pushes the fat guy off the seat.

We've been using a DCI example downstairs where your fresh karma is a fat guy on the bus. The skinny guy is the past reality up to now. And we've been telling people downstairs any seeds you plant with the four steps...

I was on the bus for 19 years. Twice a day, four hours. And the fat guy always pushes the skinny guy.

So, your new seeds are going to push reality off the bus seat. Okay. But this says, the skinny guy pushes the fat guy off the bus seat.

Okay. What's reality now is going to make the seeds change. Which is that only the Abhidharma people would say that.

You're saying that there's some external reality? Yeah. Alright.

Because don't forget... Excuse me, but she had a dome and you don't want to say that dome. That dome is a sexual woman.

This dome is a bear.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
Don't get your domes mixed up.

[Speaker 2]
This is tom.

[Speaker 1]
Give me that sexy... Yeah, and your hands should go... Okay, David Templeton...

No, that's not correct. Because... that karma, re, which is going to project the body and mind ripening into a dome.

Okay? If the du-gi-ken-ma-tsang... Okay?

This means season. It doesn't mean time. It means season of the year.

If the factor of the season is ma-tsang, incomplete, there's no dogs being born in... I don't know when they're born. Anybody know?

They have a time of the year when they can have kids. Well, it's a tradition in the Abhidharma to say dogs have a certain time of the year. So, dogs can't get pregnant in certain seasons.

So, all the dogs are born in certain seasons. Now, if you have a karma, which is no man, which is definite, cannot be stopped, and it's supposed to ripen into a dog's body and mind, if the factor of the proper mating season is incomplete, then it must be redirected to a bear. That karma will project the body and mind of a bear, a pemba.

Instead, hey, not me, dole song. Now, we should... I mean, it would be interesting to look up tom and tu or something.

I mean, it's not going to happen, but I'll just show you what I...

[Speaker 2]
You're looking for like a flowchart of if not dog, then bear.

[Speaker 1]
By the way, make up some space here.

[Speaker 2]
If not bear, then...

[Speaker 1]
platypus.

[Speaker 2]
It seems like bears have mating seasons.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. Different seasons. Different seasons.

[Speaker 2]
Hmm, next possible.

[Speaker 1]
Bears are notorious for this.

[Speaker 2]
Totally incorrect. Manhattan bear, while he's hibernating. It makes dogs.

Interesting.

[Speaker 1]
Actually, we should look for a bear near a dog, right?

[Speaker 2]
Bear near a dog. That's adorable.

[Speaker 1]
That's not it. That's not it. I got 16.

We won't do that one. Isn't this an Abhidharmakasala? No, he said from sutra.

But I remember you quoting something like this from the Abhidharmakasala. Oh, this is the Abhidharmakasala. It has a verse about it.

What's going on with Sengi's plus K? Sengi is lion. Oh, it means the car is under the moon.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, okay.

[Speaker 1]
This kind of thing we should do at home, right?

[Speaker 2]
Oh, I must be supposed to find it.

[Speaker 1]
I can't find it easily. It doesn't mean it's not there. Then you would check the tenure to see if somebody is quoting a sutra that was lost, which happens.

But I'm not going there. The Abhidharma is very dry. And I used to enjoy stuff like this because it gave me something to laugh about.

Like three years I didn't have anything interesting. Suddenly there's this thing about bears. I mean, it's like I understood.

Okay, that debate is finished. So it's not true that karma which is definite to produce its result is going to project the body and mind of a dog if external reality demands that the karma shift. But that means the skinny guy makes the fat guy move.

And according to Middle Way, that's not the case. And for a DCI teacher, when you're talking to DCI people, the point is, and I like to say up to the present moment, 7-21 on January 27, 2018, all that has come to now means nothing if you plant seeds. It's the skinny guy on the bus.

You see what I mean? All the pattern your life has taken, all the limitations of your life, they mean nothing if the karma you make now, karmic paths you create now, are more powerful. There are no limitations.

So really, this is the argument for the opposite. And it's wrong. You don't have to wait for mating season.

You'll be the only dog ever born in July. That's because they said there are other causes at play besides just karmic causes, right? Yeah, they have four other causes.

Karma will shift. Reality has to shift for you. Because after all, the reality now came from those causes.

So it should, you know, if you present it wisely in a DCI course, the students should all get excited. Like, OK, whatever crap in my life up to now is skinny guy on the bus and my niece is other fat guy on the bus. OK.

So don't let them read this. It shouldn't be presented. No, but that's why it's Abhidhamma.

So there's someone to pick on for the higher school. OK, a more general argument. Anybody want to translate it?

If something is the karma that's going to project you to have the body and mind ripening as the body and mind of someone in the lower realms. Yeah. Use the word definite in there somewhere.

Definite. Definite experience. Then there must be a corresponding body and mind which is true.

You know, after six months or after a year. So you've got this inevitable karma has been, this missile has been shot. And on the other side there must be a target.

Has to be. Now this is very profound. OK.

And this is a big part of DCI. Here we go. Ngen po top si dak nge kye lay kye si tun si tun che chen der tau dey che te che chen den pey che te OK, good.

Ngen ro means bad going. And it means the three lower realms. Tang tong had a fourth lower realm.

[Speaker 2]
The world of the Lord of Heaven.

[Speaker 1]
The world of the Lord of Heaven.

[Speaker 2]
OK. OK, yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Chin che jik ten su. Ngen du nam yin gyi pungpo pen che Definite karma, which is going to project the body and mind ripening as at birth in the three lower realms, OK? And something else.

Shi tun. What's shi tun? It's the opposite of what I just talked to you about.

[Speaker 2]
Gelwa.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, one thing which is Is there any one thing which is both glass and brown? Yeah. A jar of coffee.

It's both things. What's the opposite? Gelwa.

One thing which cannot be those two. Here we have the opposite. Shi tun.

Very famous. Both things together? Don't say common locus.

Check it in with the waiter. Say it in plain English. One thing which is both black.

Yeah. Don't struggle to find nouns for nouns. OK?

That's a very limited view of translation. And people who don't know Tibetan well and they're using dictionaries are trying to make one noun from one noun. Sometimes you need a couple of words.

OK? One thing which can be both. That's a shi tun.

Don't say, you know, classic common locus of being. Then you lost everybody. And then your book goes out of print before it goes in print.

OK? OK. This dot is a verb from the word takpa.

Purify. Yeah, purify. This is the verb to purify.

OK? With the topshi. Yeah, use the four powers.

So here you have an Abhidhamma text. Sorry. Lower Middle Way text.

We're talking about the four powers. OK? So it's not just a Lamrim thing.

OK? And the four powers were first declared in a sutra. Sutra.

OK? Chatur bala sutra. Four powers.

OK? OK? So he says This is a very interesting shi tun.

Twenty bucks to anyone who can express it. I'd better get it out because Kramer's going to figure it out. I told Vy I was making all these bets.

She says, well, be careful. We don't have that much money. There it is.

Maybe I get to save it.

[Speaker 2]
Come on, you guys. Wake up.

[Speaker 1]
Wake up. Huh?

[Speaker 2]
You taking a shot?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, if something... I thought you were just muttering in your sleep. I was kind of just muttering.

[Speaker 2]
OK, come on, come on. Take a shot.

[Speaker 1]
If something is such that it purifies your definite karma, the nge, it definitely purifies... I'll give you a clue. The nge applies to the dak.

The nge applies to the dak. OK, so if it's something which definitely purifies... It's going to be purified.

Yeah, if it's something that's going to be purified by the four powers, then it's going to be meant to do it. You got to shoot ten. It's two things.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, that's what I was trying to do with the definite karma.

[Speaker 1]
Over here? What's the first part? It's going down to ten dollars.

[Speaker 2]
Projecting a birth in the lower realms.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, it's not just projecting a birth in the lower realms. Nge must be experienced as a birth in the lower realms. And then at the same time, it's purified.

It's a karma which is definitely purified by the four powers. What's going to happen? Who's going to win?

It's a karma which is inevitably going to throw a lower realm rebirth. But then here comes this other force. The guy did the four powers.

So what's going to happen now? I get to keep the money. It's not really asserting it.

It's kind of like, well, which one is it? No, he's saying, I propose a karma, which is Bo. So I propose a karma, which is Bo.

By the way, who's I? The whole thing is the Chit-Chat.

[Speaker 2]
That's us.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, there must be such a thing. Yeah, we're being a wiser. There must be such a thing.

A, it's a karma definitely going to throw the lower realms. B, it's a karma that's definitely going to be counteracted by the four powers.

[Speaker 2]
Right.

[Speaker 1]
Nyenpo. Counteracted. Nyenpo.

By the four powers. Nyenpo. Okay?

And purified. Okay? So...

[Speaker 2]
He's implying that it's not definitely.

[Speaker 1]
That power means, are you telling me there's definitely a corresponding body which is going to be projected by this projecting karma? No. Are you telling me there's definitely going to be a corresponding lower realm body that corresponds to the karma?

The missile was shot. Are you telling me there's a target?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
He can't say that now. Because there is going to be no result. There is no...

The missile never lands. Because of the four powers.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. Okay? Which is a very powerful debate.

This debate, you know... This is going to help every DCI student you ever teach. Look, look, you know, this Madhyamika text says you can shoot the missile and it never lands.

Just do the four powers before it lands. You know? Got it?

This is so probabilistic statement. Yeah, I mean... This is the hundred dollars that you're taking to the Wonderless Dollars Club.

Okay? More than they ever wanted to know. There you go.

I... I... I think...

I think that the other three are better. Okay. Okay, I went and got you the other three, okay, for your footnote, okay, deyabhichyate, because there is such a karma, there is such a shitin, what's the shitin again?

[Speaker 2]
What are the two things?

[Speaker 1]
The karma that's going to be purified.

[Speaker 2]
Karma that's projecting a lower realm of rebirth.

[Speaker 1]
And a karma which is definite to be purified. Somewhere, the missile's going to be blown up before it hits the target, okay. Then we say, well, there is such a thing, there is such a shitin, because there is a nyambo kundu jupito.

Say nyambo. Nyambo kundu jupito. That's the Tibetan word for the fourth power.

Nyambo kundu jupito. What are the names of the four powers? Tengyuto.

[Speaker 2]
Tengyuto, okay.

[Speaker 1]
Review the pen. Numbers in jinpeito, it's called destruction force, which is with intelligent regret. Our kids see, boy, he's a mushroom on your chin.

And then, nyepa larndo, say nyepa le. Nyepa le. Then heavy prenasal.

Larndo. Larndo. R with a prenasal.

Larndo. This larn means away from. Away from.

Sometimes it means again. Laryang means again. But here it means away from, turning away from, larndo, from this bad behavior.

The third power in Tibetan is called the power of turning away from this kind of negative behavior. Nyepa le larndo kundu, making a commitment not to do it again. So, in this case, our guy has chosen to emphasize balancing karma, which is called nyepa kundu chupa, which means the power of applying an antidote.

We then don't call it balancing karma in scripture. They call it the power of applying an antidote. Unfortunately, this can also apply to all four.

But when they spell it this way, it has to be number four. And then, he gave an example. What's the most powerful balancing karma you can do?

Yeah. Sher chin la chuh. Work on your understanding of the perfection of wisdom.

Shero kipa bodo bodo mudo. Sher chin. It's very beautiful.

This is also cool. What's the best anti-missile missile? Yes.

Because normally we say number three is most powerful, the third power, agreeing to stop, even if only for an hour. But, he's saying, no, number four is powerful. He didn't say it's the most powerful.

But he said, you can kick ass with this number four. Why? Do something, you know.

Study your emptiness teachings. Study the perfection of wisdom. Okay?

Got it? Then, it is stated. This sung always implies by the Buddha, or by scripture.

It is stated, capital S. It is stated. Sung, okay?

Past tense. Sung. It is stated in the books.

Why? That you can purify, dakta, even, can, even, definite. Karma which is definite to be experienced.

Okay? So, it's not definite. Karma which is definite to be experienced, even that karma can be purified by the four powers.

It's very beautiful to see it in a debate text. This is not some fuzzy lamrim text. Okay?

Warm and fuzzy lamrim text. This is a real debate. It's like, yeah.

[Speaker 2]
No, this spelling is correct.

[Speaker 1]
This spelling is correct. Yeah, in general, in scripture, sometimes they call nyambo force, too. See?

Here, right here. Be careful of the word nyambo, which means antidote. It can refer to the fourth, and it can refer to all four.

You see both of them here. Here, they're called the antidote four forces. But here, the word antidote is applied specifically to the fourth force.

So, just be careful when you see nyambo. And some authors will use nyambo for the all four. So, be careful.

No, it's not done here. His nyambo kunjipa is number four because he's clarified it as study of the complexity. Which it has to be number four.

Which is the classic form of number four. Balance and karma. In DC, I recall, do something to balance the karma.

It's really cool. It's so cool to see it from the outside of the Lamrim. Now, he's going to nail it down.

Our guy's going to nail it down with a scriptural authority. Yi che kyi je pa.

[Speaker 2]
Yi che kyi je pa.

[Speaker 1]
Believable. Trustable. Deduction based on trust.

[Speaker 2]
Keep going.

[Speaker 1]
Tokke barwa le. Nyam war... Barwa.

Tokke barwa. By the way, here your prenasal is labial. So, you take your prenasal from the same row.

Ba, ba, ba, ma. Tokke mbarwa. Tokke mbarwa le.

Tokke mbarwa. Nyam war kewe le nam ni. Chen dir go war tsawa tsam du gyuro se sung pe che.

So, here you have the scriptural source for the headache. Here you have the scriptural source for the headache, which is very useful. So, tokke barwa is a neat name for a book.

Tokke is an old name for logic. And barwa barwa means blazing. Like you threw gasoline on a fire.

It's barwa. I think we caught him before, right? He's pretty popular to quote.

And he's your school. So, you have to be loyal to him. This is Baba Viveka.

I had that also in the last class. Karma is to be for a birth in the in the hells. Karma is for birth in the hells.

Chen dir can be can ripen in this life. Before you go to the hells. Go war is the old word for head go.

Now there's just go. Go war is the old form. Tsawa means a fever.

It means hot head. But it means fever. This is a message to you from the past.

Right now you should be so happy you got tsawa, go tsawa. Is it impossible that the Buddha sent you this message 2000 years ago?

[Speaker 2]
It's totally possible.

[Speaker 1]
Or is it just coincidence? That you have fever that you're lucky enough to have a fever. Do you know how many hell births got cancelled in this room this week?

Let's go make some new karma. I'm so happy. Only the worst person in the class wouldn't get sick.

[Speaker 2]
It's me.

[Speaker 1]
It's me. Don't worry. If you're lucky, you'll get sick later.

Tsawa, nothing more than. Translated as nothing more than. Juno, future tense.

They will get nothing more than a headache, than a fever. So that's about Rebecca. And I'd like you...

What's this space you're going? Yeah. Sure.

I went and got it. Oh, thank you. All you need is this number.

You can do everything else from that and I can save so many hours of work. Especially if I don't have to correct it. Sure.

Thank you. So, by the way, the full title is A Commentary to the Essence of the Middle Way, which he also wrote. This is his auto-commentary.

The blaze of reasoning is Bama Viveka's commentary to his own essence of the middle way, heart of the middle way. Uma means middle way. Nimbo means heart.

Heart Sutra is called Nimbo. I used to get confused because this is a lower middle way school text. And because it had the word logic in it, reasoning, I used to think it had to be a pramana text.

It's not. It's just a huge commentary on lower middle way. And it's really the mother book of all lower middle way.

And he was no slouch.

[Speaker 2]
But since he likes autonomous thoughts...

[Speaker 1]
We over time Geshe-la. Okay, let's just read this one. Somehow I like to be over time no matter what.

I'm going to read it, okay? Let's consider karmas which are taking you to the lower realms. Okay?

Don't forget that the scriptures say this will become nothing more than a simple fever. Then somebody starts debating him about, you know, could I get out of the headache? Could we also cancel the fever?

And then he goes on like that. Wow, this is cool. Okay, so we'll be able to pick up here.

Chanting Chanting Chanting Chanting Chanting Chanting Chanting Okay, hold for one second. I'm going to give you dessert. This is Choney Lama's commentary to Diamond Cutter, which I just finished for the second term.

Here it is.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
Okay. So he goes further. He's more thorough.

And he's from the same monastery. He's a little bit later. He's about two hundred years later from Sarame.

He says, yeah, you can find this head thing in the Blaze of Reasoning, but it comes from an older book called the Book of the Great Liberation. And he gives a poem, a famous poem, and you cannot find it in the Congress of Tenure. You cannot find it.

But I found it. And it took me a hell of a long time. But there's a...

There is a sutra called Reaching the Atonement of Buddhahood by Cleaning Yourself of Bad Deeds and Using That Pure Form of Regret Which Leads to the Great Liberation. You see? See what I mean?

Where did he get it from? And some of its content may be found there. Okay.

But this is presumably the text that he's talking about. I think someone made a poem from this reference in the Book of the Great Liberation which is a sutra about purification. A sutra devoted to purification.

And sometimes they use the word lepa which means brain. So if you search for head you won't find it. But in a few times the Buddha says you will get a brainache.

Anyway.

[Speaker 2]
To track...

[Speaker 1]
S-L-A-D Alright. Thank you. I've just been working on this.

[Speaker 2]
I've just been struggling.

[Speaker 1]
I couldn't find the Book of the Great Liberation. I was like, what's going on? I'm not sure anybody else even knows what's the Book of the Great Liberation.

And by the way, there's a footnote you can steal for the Four Powers. It starts up here. And then that's a footnote and it gives you the...

The best presentation is in Pabongka. So you could steal... What I'm thinking is we could have a database of footnotes.

And when you get to the Four Powers you just save yourself a couple of hours. Alright.
