Медитации на пустоту: объяснение шагов к пониманию того, что ничто не является самим собой, занятие 50

[Speaker 2]
It's 745. Put it down.

[Speaker 1]
It's got a bunch of rocks in it.

[Speaker 2]
Hopefully, there's nothing there. Actually, there is. It's the computer.

It's 745. No. It's officially.

[Speaker 1]
Wait.

[Speaker 2]
What?

[Speaker 1]
I'm on Rimrock time. Right on. We're in a different time zone.

[Speaker 2]
You want to play this with me? Yes, sir. This is your spare time.

Oh, something's wrong. What? Nothing.

[Speaker 1]
It's not working. This is not working. OK, good morning.

I know this one. Really? Hello.

There's not a laptop. Hello. You need that?

You like that? I don't know if we need it, but it's for TV land. OK.

[Speaker 2]
Okay. It's okay, like that? Hello?

[Speaker 1]
If you don't want it, we can switch to the lapel ear for the next one. Oh, it's okay. It makes me feel like a rock and roll star.

Okay. Welcome to Term Nine. In general, good news, I mean, the first book was laid out by Gina.

I'd like to thank Gina. I was on a plane to somewhere. China?

Yeah, and I got final corrections from Venerable Utpala, like 200. After I checked the whole thing super careful, and I said, this is all BS, you know, and then I started checking, and everyone was correct. So we should give her a hand, too.

And it's gone to the print. So here's the copy from, here's the diamond copy from Singapore, Indonesia, and then the book went to the printer already, I think. Yeah.

And that's our first book, and then we'll do the Heart Sutra. And we were going to release it in Vancouver in September, sorry, October, but we had to delay a month because they aren't quite ready, because they're new. They're the first time they've ever done an event there, the people there.

So we'll release it in November in Vancouver, and we'll release it at Diamond Mountain in October, especially because it's already booked out, it's already full, and a lot of Chinese coming, and only Chinese will pay for Dharma. So we hope to get a lot of sponsors there for the program. Okay?

And I, the translations are getting much better. I didn't really expect it. I don't know why or not.

I thought we'd just keep going forever and no improvement, but you guys are getting much, much better, and I was reading sages this morning. It's quite good. so I think it's going to be amazing.

And so we're speeding up. You know, I've been checking the progress of everybody's texts, and we're speeding up, and we can finish before we thought. And now books are going to start pouring out, like we were patient for a couple years, two, three years, and books are coming out now.

So one of them is Utpala's text. Oh, I have to do this thing. I'm a space cowboy.

Hello? Yeah, that means I have to do that. Yeah.

Sorry. So we finished 32 folio faces in eight turns, doing about four folio faces. Folio face means have one page English way, right?

Total text is 23 folios, need four more turns. We can finish her text by the end of next year, which might be the first non-Yeshe Michael text to come out. I think there's a couple of candidates for first text out, but it's going to start pouring out, which is exciting.

I had to revise all the estimates, and all of you are going to finish sooner than I thought. So it's kind of exciting, I think, except for somebody's text has a lot of words text. It took me three months to catch up this text.

It's very difficult, but I didn't start next yet. Okay. All right, we're still in the Prasangika section, and things are going to get, what's with Prasangika?

It's kind of like Lam Rim. I mean, you know, it's our own viewpoint, so it's a little easier, normally. Okay, so here we go.

Please. Oh yeah, okay, sorry. We can do it this way, right?

How's that, better?

[Speaker 2]
Oh man, I'm going to curse all around the world who says, oh, I've got to change my cursive.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now she knows all my secrets. By the way, Utpalan Word came to China and taught.

Amazing, totally amazing, and I'd like to give them a hand. And it was really fun to work with you guys. They were very, very popular.

Word's yoga class was popular and amazing. I was quite, you know, amazed also. Am I doing the right thing here?

No. Anyway, I was extremely happy. I was happy for like three days or something.

[Speaker 2]
Setting? Setting? Accessibility.

[Speaker 1]
Oh, where is accessibility? Oh, okay. Yeah, no, I mean, that's the best thing that happened in my life recently.

I displayed? Okay. Now this went shrinked again.

Okay. Error in text, okay. What happened?

The text disappeared. Yes, mm-hmm. Okay.

All right, here we go, go. Xingtei. Who's got the, you got the plane?

[Speaker 2]
I gotta drink coffee.

[Speaker 1]
Yes, skip this, nir du pok. It's close, right? Kor and pok?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, nir du pok pok.

[Speaker 1]
It's very close. Okay, good. Xingtei, we're gonna be talking about all term downstairs.

Why? Yeah, this is the wooden horse. This is the first wheel, the invention of the wheel, okay?

But in Madhyamika, in Prasangika, it's the image of the car and the parts of the car, okay? Which is famous, and I wanted to say it's the core of Melinda, the questions of Melinda. So we'd like to add Melinda to our translation list.

I'd like to do a book with three advices to kings. One is Melinda, and two books by Nagarjuna. The String of Precious Jewels and Suhirlika.

So anyway, oh, letter to a friend. Some Japanese publisher wants it. So anyway, that's the core of Melinda's teaching.

That's about the only really interesting thing in there, I'd have to say, which I can't do a book about Melinda by itself, because not enough. Kaza rashi meypa, means? People are not like that.

Perceived that the person has no nature of their own, which is nice to say. Now, nge, recently I've been appreciating that they tend to use it as a verb when used for a syllogism, right? So we know ngepa as being certain, but when it's a verb, I've just been appreciating lately that they use it more and more for the result of a syllogism.

Someone gives you a logical proof, and then you nge the point. You nge, you perceive the truth of something. Ascertain is not bad.

Ascertain is not bad, because it contains certain, yeah. Ngepa yin te, you can. If you use the example, this is instrumental, right?

With the example, or with the metaphor of the car, can ngepa, and the Lam Rim Chenmo supports that when it says, shing de chepa, what's the chepa? Yeah, this analysis. The cart, right, with this kind of analysis, you can poke, which is one of the only Tibetan words which means the English, you can poke, get to the bottom.

Yeah, and ting the depths of the ocean. Ting ta ngepa, no measure down, no measure to the sun. You can quickly, nger du, poke the depths of the meaning, what it means, yu rang shing mepa, to not have a quality of your own, not have a nature of your own, which is, and that's a positive, suchness.

Suchness, the fact that nothing has its own quality, nature, you can quickly poke to the bottom of it. It is stated in the Lam Rim Chenmo, therefore, this appears to be, this would appear to be, yeah, a very crucial point. Okay, he's just understatement, right?

This would appear to be. And you know, why it takes 20 years to be a good translator, who could guess that this whole phrase is messed up? You know, no, it takes a long time to sense that something's wrong, grossly wrong, terribly wrong, because it makes sense, you know, it doesn't not make sense at all, but it doesn't feel right, you know, so that just takes a long time.

I didn't check, oh, I think I must have checked, but I don't remember. The title of the book. There's the reference from Je Tsongkhapa.

Whenever you look up a reference, try to catch this, and hope that the title of the book has not been misidentified by the database creators. Just kidding. I found two this, I found two last, this month, and.

[Speaker 2]
But who would ever read the other? It's only one of the five great books.

[Speaker 1]
I was not mad, I was freaked out. I was wondering how many missed notes I made. By the way, there's a check we can do.

There's another check you should do as an editor. We should have a team member who wants to get on the team. We can assign them to some neednik work, which is to check that the page, the folio number of the footnote is possible in the folio number range of the bibliography.

[Speaker 2]
No, seriously.

[Speaker 1]
And that you'd catch about, you'd catch a good number of them. No, just, yeah, just the page number. If the page number is cited in the bibliography, in the footnote, it's not possible in the bibliography foot page range.

Then something's screwed up. So now we have another check we can do before we do a book. Well, no, we can't.

We found a couple of big mistakes. Yeah, in the past month, we found two major mistakes. One of the Abhidharmakosha and one of the, something in the Pramana-vartika, something.

So it's made, you know, it's rare, but unfortunately it seems to attack our most important books. Okay, all right. I don't know.

Maybe you can have someone do that check. Have someone who wants to be on the team. It's a nude-naked job.

It's the kind of job you give to a person like Gibson, who wants a book.

[Speaker 2]
I'm in your life.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. So talk to Venerable Upala if you're interested in, it doesn't take long. It'd take about an hour, something like that.

Okay, here we go. Shedang. Okay, finish the quotation by Tsongkhapa.

[Speaker 2]
Tsongkhapa. CHINESE LANGUAGE CHINESE LANGUAGE Okay, good.

[Speaker 1]
This is a personal name, Norsang Gyatso. There were some famous Norsongs when I was a monk in the monastery. Norsong was one of our board of directors and it just kind of means like prosperity or something.

Good money, good jewels. Okay, and he's quoting a Lama named Norsong Gyatso and he said, when you check to see whether or not the cart exists through some nature of its own, and I like to say some. I don't mean like to say a, and definitely not the, because it doesn't exist, okay, through some supposed nature of its own.

You should go like that, right? Fire is hot from its own side. Okay.

Your husband is irritating from his own side. Right? Wives are, but husbands are not.

Okay, Rangshinki, Yena. BAG DIN NAM PA BDUN TU TZEL NA. You examine in seven different ways.

There are seven points of examination and tsel means to search, which you check seven different relationships. Is it the sum of its parts? Is it equal to one of its parts?

Is it, you know, like this? There are seven, and they're not quite logically parallel, but it happens to be seven, okay? And we had them, I think, already.

So you check seven different points. TAK means examine, you know. You search through seven different points, and somewhere in there, you would have to find this supposed nature, existence of its own nature.

So in one of those seven relationships, you would have to find this kind of nature, khyapa, okay? So if it exists from its own side, it's got to exist in one of these seven ways, khyapa, okay? So first of all, you have to satisfy yourself that that's true.

If it existed from its own side, one of these seven different relationships would have to hold true. For example, all the parts together would have to equal the whole. That's the hardest one.

So first you establish the khyapa. If it existed through some nature of its own, it would have to exist in one of these seven ways. First you establish that, this Lama says.

And then, after you've ascertained that, after that, then you go through the seven one by one and see if any of them applies. You see what I mean? So first you establish that if it existed by its own side, it would have to exist in one of seven ways.

And then you check the seven ways after that, okay? One by one. So you look through the seven ways, and you don't find it.

So finding emptiness is the exercise of not finding self-existence. Manyebhadetse. And then at that point, you can say, oh, I have ascertained that this card does not exist through any nature of its own.

That's the process, said Nara Sangyatso, Lord Nara Sangyatso, okay? Sumbadar. And it's the same for?

People. People. So that implies he was talking about things, like cards.

Okay. I don't know Nara Sangyatso very well. I've heard the name a few times.

I went and studied him for a while. He did teach the second Dalai Lama. Okay.

Yeah. There must have been a te above. Oh no, yin te.

Oh, there must be a te above, because there's two, the split proof apparently. Okay, maybe. This yin te, maybe this te right here.

Okay. With the example of the card, you are able to perceive, ascertain that things don't have any nature of their own, for two reasons. One, Tsongkapa said, and secondly, Nara Sangyatso.

And here's a work by the second Dalai Lama, Gendun Gyatso, okay? From, I think, Mongolia. Their first Mongolia trip, 1990s.

And he says in the colophon that I studied this from Nara Sangyatso. Shal ngan ne, means from his holy lips, I studied this. and the second Dalai Lama's dates are here.

And Nara Sangyatso from Tzik, Tsing Tzu Chemu, the great dictionary, that he was a great astrologer, and he's a lineage Lama of the Lam Rim. And he studied under the first Dalai Lama and taught the second Dalai Lama. Okay.

And he's more famous for astrology than he is for Madhyamika. But we don't have him in our database. So I'd like to suggest that we look for him and input him, because he did say something correct here, so he's probably...

And here's some more references to his Lamas and people who studied with him. He wrote a famous book on the Kala Chakra. Tsi rik kyepa means that he was a master astrologer.

Okay. Here's the date of his birth from Tsing Tzu Chemu. Here's the date that he became a monk.

Here's the date that he went to Ulka, which is where Je Tsongkhapa did his long retreat, three-year retreat. And here's the date he wrote a book, I think, about astrology. And here's the date he passed away.

And the year before, the second Dalai Lama became the abbot of Tashi Tumbo. So that proves they were, what do you call that? Contemporary.

Contemporary, yeah. Okay. All right.

Yeah. Okay. Probably wasn't a Dalai Lama by that time.

I don't know. The first one was retroactive, right? I don't remember.

There's a statement that Tsongkhapa criticized a position he took, but I think it's, I think it's, he's criticizing the position and not that it was taken by him because Tsongkhapa died before he was born. Okay. But it was confusing to me when I was studying him.

So anyway, you don't want to know all this stuff. And he's quoted twice by Choney Lama, the same citation. He quotes it again in a different book.

He likes this author on this subject. And so he must have had it written down somewhere in his notebook or something. Okay, here you go.

Please continue. You want to try to translate it? Translate this much.

,GANG ZAG RNAM DUNG GYI RIG PA, Aspects. Okay. Yeah, because he said you can also apply it to people.

,BDAG DANG TZAM BA'I TSE, When you look for the thing that got the name, when you look for the thing that got the name, past tense, BDAG, what's the present tense? ,RNG DOGS, RNG DOGS Okay, ,MING DOGS, like nickname, right? When you look for the thing that got the name, ,MING DBYEGS, Yeah, until you apply the name.

Where's the name come from? Karmic seed in your mind. Okay, it's a picture.

It's a picture. And until it comes out, there's not going to be anything there. You won't find it.

,GANG ZAG RANG BZHIG GI MED KYANG, So we can conclude that the person doesn't exist through any nature of its own, through some nature of its own. ,GANG, But, ,BDAG, ,THA GNYED DU YOD, No, no, no. Yeah, after the picture comes out of the karmic seed and is applied to the parts, then that's a real thing.

Yep. And, ,DE LAG LTAN NAS, And after you've established it with the cart, then depending on that understanding, you can understand the ,CHOD DANG GANG ZAG, same way.

[Speaker 2]
Would that be all things?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. I like to translate it nowadays as all the things in the universe. It doesn't include all people.

I think he means to say that. So here we're not talking about, ,CHOD DANG GANG ZAG GNYIS SU BYED BA'I PHYIR, We're not talking about, ,CHOD DANG GANG ZAG GNYIS SU BYED BA'I PHYIR, We're talking about ,PHYIR in general. Okay.

Yeah. ,THAMS CAD KYANG, ,DE BZHIN DU ZHES RGYUD DE, You have to understand every other existing thing in the universe. I like to call it everything in the universe nowadays.

,ZHES RGYUN, Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Exactly equal.

Good day. ,LAS PAR BZHIN NA, If you really get this point, then you are counted among the chunk. This is counted among those folks.

Okay. You go to the number, meaning you are counted among those people who understand the gongpa of the Gyalwa. Yeah.

Yeah. As it really was. ,JI BZHIN, As it really was.

Then we count you among those rare people in the universe who really understand what the Buddha said. Okay. Meaning, if you understand that it doesn't exist by any nature of its own, but it still exists pictorially.

Okay. Karmic pictorially. Okay.

Good. You would be counted. And now he's going to quote some kapha to prove that you get that status.

Okay. So here we go. Please read the next one.

Yeah. Yeah good. I almost called it a bitch, but I won't use that language.

Veronica will kill me. Zukunftsal is guess what? ,DUG RMSA, ,DUG RMSA, .DUG RMSA. I've never heard it called that. I figured it out. Okay, retroactively, I found the quotation.

Okay, so the Lord, Je Tsongkapa, right, from his clarification of the entry, right, of the Avatara, okay, from his clarification of the Avatara, he says, chum dim de kyi gompa, the gompa of the... Yeah, ishintu jawa is a great thing to do, mistyped, chawa, it's very subtle, extremely subtle, and these points, by the way, you could have said there's a lot of places where ne and nay are interchangeable, these deep points, yeah, okay, these difficult points, gencher, I wish I had enough, you know, I have to pay for this cafe in the next 15 months, my ability to throw money around is gonna be greatly reduced. Let's just say, I love you more if you get this right. Gencher, V said, how much did you spend on last tour?

I said $7,000 in giveaways, and Scott also had a high tax level. By the way, last month DCI gave $19,000 to ACIP, okay, and they do that every month, okay, I mean they do that whenever there's a tour, so you should know, they don't brag about it much, but you should slap Scott on the back. No, because that's a lot, that's a lot to give up, they give up 10% of their growth, which is sometimes 90% of the profit.

Okay, so, for a lot of love, what's gencher? Yeah, nice, yay, here, have my love. I'll find a way, let me think about it.

Okay, yeah, gencher, these crucial points, these important points, which are totally subtle, okay, these wise people teach them, they rip open the blouse of the difficult point and say, look, you know, they rip open, or other piece of clothing, and they just rip it open and say, look, there it is. Yeah, okay, look, no, it's, the point is naked, you see it naked, they rip it open and say, check it out. Okay, gencher tu tenpe, kepe wangpo shepa, the positions taken by these lords of the wise, okay, shepa, those unique positions, that something should not exist by nature and therefore exists by nominally, okay, something like that, still exists nominally, mayimba, which is a really unique position to take, tumul mayimba, these unique positions that they take, dinam, lekpa shena, you should bepa, yeah, work hard to know these points well, to learn these points well, yeah, and the pen just didn't make sense here, which means to benefit somebody, so, this shepa, this means to take a position, yeah, yeah, yeah, you should work hard to understand well, yeah, yeah, and 50 monopoly dollars for gishi, instrumental, right?

No, it's not, because shi comes after it, it's the imperative, you should do, of the verb b-g-y-i-s, to do, ancient verb, begis, this is, you should do it, do it, okay, nothing to do in instrumental, okay, when shi comes after it, that's especially, anyone can figure it out, oftentimes it doesn't come after it, no, it's correct, that's the imperative form, yeah, do it, do it, what? Work hard, try to understand this stuff, these weird positions taken by the lords of wise people, when they rip open and show you the naked truth of the true thought of the Buddhas, okay, got it? Chesun bichiro, that was used as a proof that, if you understood these points, you would, you would enter the number, you would enter that select group, we call select group in English, like elite VIPs, Dharma VIPs, you enter them, if you get this point, okay, got it?

And there's the quotation from Gomadam, so always when you cut out a quotation, try to cut, catch a page number, which one? I don't know where that came from, some kind of weird thing, something happened, did you, wait, no, did you, if this happens, that will happen, that's the pen origination, anyway, when you cut a quotation, always catch a page number, when you're translating a quotation that was cut for you, don't go all the way to the page number, okay, try to stop where you're supposed to stop, okay, save yourself some time, alright, alright, here we go, I don't know why, I normally don't like to put in the header until we translate it, but anyway, here we go, Oh, tell me about it, I mean, how many hairs I lost on this text, I wish they would fall out from here, anyway, this is misspelled, what should it be, yeah, yeah, okay, good, kengo, it's a very heavy, because it's all open vowel, kengo, yeah, and you know, we have certain standards of translation in this room, and I don't think that all of you may appreciate that they exist, but we're doing a much careful, more careful job than I think, than anybody does, in my opinion, not that I read other ones, but I really don't, so I don't know, but I have seen books where they'll just say, second, number two, and they don't tell you what it was, so I think it's incumbent on us to go find it, and confirm what it is, and tell the reader where we are, so I went, I think this is the nipa, dakme rigpa duktsu dor du shepa lanyi, a brief presentation of the logic used to establish that things have no self-nature, okay, we're going to cover kansaki dakme, the lack of a self-nature to people, and the lack of a self-nature to thing, and we're going to prove these things through logic, and apparently we've used the seven aspects of the card to prove it with people, I, but I'm, yeah, and now we're going to prove it for things, and we're going to use these classic arguments, okay, unless I'm mistaken in identifying number two, which may be possible, but we'll go look, so cheki dakme rigpa duktsu, this is just sort of like, how do we, how are we going to establish that things don't have any self-nature by using logic, how are we going to establish by using logic that things, as opposed to people, don't have a self-nature, because he's mentioned it specifically here, cheki dakme, which is interesting because, well, he just said, you know, cards are things, but let's apply them to people too, but actually he should have used a proof that was only applied to people, but then he didn't, so he wants to apply the seven-step card argument to people, and he went to the trouble to say, this is really proving a thing, but it's people, okay, and now he's going to prove things, okay, all right, so get used to it, and here's his list, and you guys know most of these, but it's interesting that in his opinion they are to be applied to the non-self-existence of things, as opposed to people, and you might think about that, and why is that true, but why are they more applicable to the parts of things than the parts of people, I'm not quite sure, here we go, Chitra Dal, you know, what's unusual about this phrase? What's that?

No, but what's unusual about it? It's spelled correctly, okay, it's du for duma, it's not a preposition, it's not du, yeah, and many people correct it wrongly, which is what they do with my translations, I mean except for Utpal, which we just proved, all right, Dorje Sekma, yeah, and this sek is a very rare word, you only see it really with this, and it's that thing in DCI, what's the point in DCI that's so relevant to the slivered diamond? It's in explaining the importance of the diamond, yeah, that all, yeah, all tiny things have their own emptiness, so it's important to say sliver, when you smash a diamond, each sliver, each piece has its own diamond, it's equally diamond, pure diamond, each piece, and that's why Sekma is so important, whoever gave it the name, which has nothing to do with the proof, knew what they were talking about, some kind of Arya was involved there at some point, probably, okay, Sekma, you make Gengo, careful, give me a better explanation, don't be lazy, things that already, say that again, no, well, what's the point though, it's a Sankhya argument, it's to defeat a Sankhya argument, no, that things exist inside their seeds, when rice grows from a piece of rice, according to the Sankhya, it proves there was a piece of rice in the rice seed, and it was revealed, similar to our gencher, okay, yeah, did a result which already existed in its seed grow, yuk, kyekke, or meyke, did a result which didn't exist at the time of its seed grow, which one, was it yuk, yukpeke, or meypeke, did a sabun ki tusu yukpe gebu grow, or did a sabun ki tusu meype gebu grow, okay, was the result revealed, that was in the seed, which is what the Sankhya say, or did a thing that never existed before grow, and how could that be, and we say neither one is true, okay, got it, okay, then mushikengo, this relates mainly to, but what are the mushimushi, yeah, yeah, yeah, from itself, or from something else, or from both, or from neither, that's all, easy, and then dendrakitensik, which is Sugeng's specialty, yeah, yeah, na, he's got five, okay, chiktu del, dorje segma, yume kengo, mushikengo, dendrakitensik, five proofs that things don't exist from their own side, okay, all right, le, yupa le, here, oh, from those five, from those five, please read, shen, translate, na, shesen, sen, sen, no, no, come on, it's the, yeah, it's the past tensilizer, it's the ED in Tibetan, I explained it already, I already taught you guys that.

But, yeah, let me give you a touch more on it, okay? Good, good, yeah. Yeah, and sometimes this scene is almost pejorative.

Like, I told you guys already, but let's do it again. So if you want to get a slight, very slight pejorative, possible pejorativism, good luck. Okay, here we go.

Please read, yeah.

[Speaker 2]
me long tu shak wei che shun che shun che shun che shun che shun che shun che shun che shun Now, there's a principle translation.

[Speaker 1]
It would be very tempting to correct this to, to what? B-Y-E-D, to do, because its frequency is about a thousand times more. I would guess it's about a thousand times more.

So you often see it corrected wrongly. But when it's repeated three times in the same sentence, pause, pause, and think about whether you're going to correct it or not. Because if he repeats the same spelling three times in one sentence, it's possible it's not a mistake.

So slow down when you're going to correct something and there's three instances of it in the same sentence spelled that way, which is the case here. I got to give money. I don't care.

I don't know. I'm going to put my faith in karma. Okay.

Fifty dollars for che shun. Damn! You on it?

Fifty dollars. The person standing in front of the mirror, not the reflection. The reflection is in the mirror, but the person is standing in front of the mirror.

You with your razor blade is the che shun. Okay, got it? People ask me what I learned in three-year retreat.

To bang on jars and make music, and to shave without a mirror. But I never knew if I did a good job. Right, exactly.

And this is unrelated to BYED. So read it che shun, che shun. And obviously this shun means likeness.

But it kind of doesn't mean likeness. It means the thing standing in front of the mirror. What's the opposite?

Yeah, good. Adam got it. Adam hit it.

Sugnyen. This is the one in the mirror. This is the one in the glass.

Okay, the sugnyen is the reflection, and this is its opposite, it's the che shun, in the mirror. Yeah, this should have given you a clue. It probably did to word before he got it right.

He saw the word me long, and his devious mind started thinking about money. Anyway, it should have given you a clue, me long. So here we go.

How do you say bald in Tibetan colloquial? Me long ya dakpa. The crystal mirror.

The crystal mirror. They say he's got a crystal mirror. It means he's totally bald.

Okay, I'm not me long ya dakpa yet. I'm just me long. But if you want to insult somebody tastefully, you can call me long ya dakpa.

Now how do you tell with a monk? That's another question. Okay.

Okay. Me long du shaway che shun. In a mirror, the...

What do you call that in English? Of an image, the reflection of an image in a mirror, right? Che shun may be image, I don't know.

Nyen de. It's che shun ki tong, $20. I'm being...

No, but what's it mean in normal English? I want waiter passable. I want peach tree waiter passable, which is even lower.

Huh? What? Say it, say it.

No, the thing being reflected has no essence of the thing. Yeah, the reflection has 0% reality. Yeah, person in it.

Okay, got it? The reflection is 0% person standing in front of the mirror. The reflection is 0% living person.

That's all.

It's very beautiful. It's not like 5, 5% or 6%, it's 0%, but 100% is appearing to be his decision to yell at you. Yeah, but every atom you is peers to me.

Okay, got it? It's a very beautiful sentence. Okay, stopped here.
