Адам Андраде — Книга 2: Логика. Рассеивая тьму, занятие 14

[Speaker 1]
You all have homework, your life tools. And also the, what do you call that, the life tools from the participants? That's what I'm saying.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, I don't mean you guys. I'll hassle you guys on email.

I mean, you guys can make, yeah, but I'm talking about all the participants. Please send some life tools and we'll get that process rolling. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, you might've missed where I was given introduction.

So please just write me and I'll fill you in on what we're talking about. It involves beautiful photos and explanations, making the wisdom in our books practical. Somebody is really pinging me right now.

And it's somebody on this call. Yeah, there's going to be five DCI levels taught this year, if you count January. And in those levels, which are 12, 11, 10 and eight and advanced level one, we would like to use the life tools created by the Mixed Nuts team, both translators and audience and everybody on this call.

So we would like to get you involved in creating new life tools for five world events this year. World event means two, Saturday and Sunday followed by another Saturday and Sunday. And I will teach levels for four days and then local organizers will follow up for three weeks and have programs between the weeks.

So I'd like to get life tools from you guys and I'd like to use them and then you can help me teach them. And one more thing, Nick, before we start. Yes, sir.

You guys saw this chart. This is the flow of our teachings. Here's the ALL finding the books.

Here's the Mixed Nuts translating the books. Here's the Diamond Cutter Press printing the books. Here's ACI doing retreats.

Here's Yoga Study Institute. Here's the Mexican Yoga Program for 20 million kids. Here's the New York Center.

Here's Diamond Mountain Retreat Center. Here's DCI. Here's all the DCI cities.

Okay. And over here we have new DCI structure. And there are 58 jobs open.

There are 58 positions open in the home office. And the home office, the Sedona home office is now going to be in many different cities. So, you know, we don't need to sit in Sedona together anymore.

You can work for the home office part-time, full-time, sometime. And we're happy to, if you want to send a job application, if you just want to send your biography, what do you call it? Your resume to Seiji in the next, I'd say in the next four or five days.

We will consider you for, we have about 50 positions open. We want to expand DCI and make it that, because we're online now, we don't have a limitation like we used to have. So we want to make the home office bigger.

Okay. So if you're interested about that, talk to Seiji. He's the big boss of the whole thing.

Now let's go back to, here's Adam's text. And Adam's still not feeling well, but please send him notes and tell him you wish he's feeling better. Okay.

And I'm going to ask, hang on, who's going to, Nick, I can only see about 12 people. No, now I can see everybody. Okay.

All right. Gibson's going to read and Hasa's going to correct him. And if Hasa makes a mistake, Nicole's going to kick Hasa under the table.

Or you can just kick him anyway. I don't care. Okay.

The main point here is that if you use logic, then if you use the three tests of gold, you can figure out that the Buddha is a person who never makes a mistake and they're always correct. So even if your motivation is very low and you just want to protect yourself in your future life, still it's the best place to go. Still, Sangye Ni, only the Buddha, is someone who can protect you, gyop, from suffering in the next world, meaning future lives.

Therefore, gyab su dzinpa gyur, if you study logic, you can establish that the Buddha is a person who's always correct. Whereas Wangchuk, Indra, Sangpa, Brahma, and these other worldly deities Rangyi Khyang are still chingwa by kyun. What's that mean you guys?

Rangyi Khyang. Yeah, they still have their own problems. These big worldly gods, they still have their own problems.

If you watch the Avengers, you can find out. They still have their own problems constantly. What's his name?

Iron Man, Supergirl. I tried to watch a Supergirl show. I had to stop because she had so many problems that it felt like my own life.

So, Le Mardua, they're not free from those problems themselves. So how can they protect other people from problems if they still have those problems themselves? If you learn logic, you can ngepar gyur, you can establish that.

All right, now Nicole's going to read and Catherine Nguyen's going to correct her. Yay!

[Speaker 3]
Yay!

[Speaker 1]
Good, nice. You're getting really good. So I'm glad you didn't waste your time in the jungle there, wherever you are.

That teaching in the form of both physical teachings and the ideas, okay. Khyen Member Drew, if you can prove that these teachings have no mistakes in them at all, okay, and then you can topa che, okay, at the end of the sentence, dopa che. What's that word, topa che?

Discriminate? Suspect. Suspect.

Yeah, you can stop any weird idea you have that it's possible, sipa, in other traditions, drup tas, in other systems, that there could be anything like the essence of the Buddhist path, how they are exactly five, no less, no more, why they come in a certain order, and why they have a certain potency, you know. If you use logic, you can figure out that the presentation of five paths is correct, and it will help you, and so you won't start, you'll stop thinking, che, that there's some other system that might be able to help you. You can cut that idea, okay.

Who's going to read this one? Haso, did you actually read yet? No, okay, you read, and Catherine Yen's going to kick you.

Catherine and Nicole both going to kick you, okay.

[Speaker 3]
Nice, nice.

[Speaker 2]
Cheepa troll tap. That's, what is that? Yeah, okay.

[Speaker 3]
Sun yuk pa dang.

[Speaker 2]
Ndra war tong na.

[Speaker 1]
Nice, good. You guys are getting good. I have to figure out some job to give you, which I will, okay.

Where are the crickets? Chukichujin means, Chukichujin, who can guess? Chukichupa.

[Speaker 3]
Chuk means cow. Making offerings of animals, like a cow?

[Speaker 1]
Sacrifice a cow, yeah. Chukichujin means, it's the traditional killing of a cow as a good omen or something, okay, in ancient India, okay. The slaughter of a cow as an offering is called the offering of the cow, okay.

To think that killing a cow can bring you the dendro, to bring you a birth in the higher realms, okay. Gopang, that kind of place. Topa, that you can achieve it.

And, taking some kind of initiation into the practice of Indra or some other worldly god, okay. And then lu dangwa. Dangwa means to get up or rise up.

And there's a kapu, which is, what do you call that in English?

[Speaker 2]
A thing said once.

[Speaker 1]
a difficult practice. Spiritual, Austerity, it's an austerity. Yeah, austerity.

And this is where you try to hold your arm up for ten years, okay. And there's people in India who do that. And then their arm gets all skinny and it starts to die.

The arm gets very weird. They think if you can hold your arm up for like ten years and it dies, then somehow that's going to help you reach nirvana, okay. kyi dikpa, to think that those kind of practices would purify, takpa, your dikpas, your bad deeds.

And to think that you could get free from samsara, korwa le dru, okay. These kinds of positions, mawa, okay. All of them.

Okay, Seiji, I'm going to ask for your, you're going to be a consultant. He says they have no more meaning than when a two-month-old baby is going, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh. Okay.

That's about right. Okay, got it. Like people talking about, oh, you go to heaven if you kill a cow.

Or you hold up your arm for three years and then you purify your bad karma. It's exactly as useful as Maitri saying, bleh, got me, bleh. Okay, got it.

Dhultap means whatever pops out of a small baby's mouth. Or it's as useful as a person who is suffering from a fever to walk into a barbecue pit. Okay.

To cure themselves. Okay, got it? So all those weird supposedly spiritual practices is as useful as a person who has a fever and they say, I'm going to fix the fever and they go walk into a pit of fire.

A barbecue pit. Okay, all right. By the way, the thing about the arm, it only occurs really in another book of Kirti.

Okay. I think Word's going to read and Xiaoping's going to criticize him. Yay, you're giving him all this money.

Let's criticize him also. Okay. Okay, Word.

Please split this into small parts and translate it for us. Come on. Gyalwe Lungi Tenpa?

[Speaker 3]
Gyalwe, the victors. Lungi Tenpa, their speech, their presentation, their teachings. So the presentation.

As opposed to Togpe Tenpa. Oh, I see. So how the scriptures present the teachings of the victors.

Ba Xi, that alone. Is the Xi. Is the Xi.

The foundation. Studying it and contemplating it is the foundation.

[Speaker 1]
That's the only foundation for the first two of the three practices. Classroom time and contemplation. What about the third practice?

[Speaker 3]
So as far as Togpe Tenpa, the realizations that come in Buddhist practice, the only foundation, the only certain foundation for that is meditation.

[Speaker 1]
No, they are the only certain foundation for Gomba.

[Speaker 3]
Oh. Oh, the other way? Oh, really?

Yeah, yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Here's the Danyi grammar case, right? Okay. All right.

[Speaker 3]
And if you to some end Gom, the lung, and the Togpe, Yeah, if you listen, contemplate, and meditate on the scriptures and the realizations, then you will start to dundunyewa. You will aspire to liberation and omniscience both.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, and you will get into these practices. The next one has to be Dr. Kramer. Noor, you want to criticize Ben Kramer?

Or maybe this Bobak Gup can do it? Sure. I mean, my two will try.

Okay, here we go. Dr. Kramer.

[Speaker 2]
Jigten kyang pel sok gi nyeshe gi lomik tongpar Oh, she didn't like that.

[Speaker 2]
Perfect. Jigten kyang pel sok This should be kyang temba Oh, good. Okay.

Yeah, so the

And they make your lo They make the mik of your lo dompa, which means blinded Okay, yeah They blind the, well the mik of your lo like what your mind sees, the objects of your mind They make the eyes of your mind blind Okay And two instrumental

[Speaker 2]
Oh, yeah Sorry, your lips, your mouth

[Speaker 1]
By the power of that blindness Okay They will stop chupa in order to get jigten di dewa

[Speaker 2]
They will kill just to get that worldly bliss

[Speaker 1]
Yeah They believe it's some kind of spiritual practice to kill animals to get happiness in this life Like if things, if your business is not going well, still they'll kill a cow for God or something like that And by the way Can you, for $50 and this is a tough question Why is jigten di particularly poignant with the gyangpenpa?

Because they don't believe in future lives Yay, Nika, 50 bucks 50 bucks shopping for Amalie's I mean, Jeru's dad Hey, word, did you notice how much the son looks like the father? Jeru's a very handsome dog Nevermind Okay Yeah, they try to get some happiness, if their business is not going well, they offer a cow They kill a cow for God chigar jupa means they do whatever the hell they want And if they could use tema to see that the gyalway tema is kinme Yeah, if they could use valid perception to see that the king of all teachers is without fault The teaching of the jimas Yeah, the teachings of the buddhas is faultless Then they would turn away chir chokpa from this nye pay le lang

[Speaker 2]
They'd turn away from this from this nye pay nye part chay pay lang Yeah

[Speaker 1]
where they only do nye pas

[Speaker 2]
Oh yeah, this path of doing naughty things

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, good, good I don't know, sucky path came to mind And I used Jeru's translation to remind myself of what they believe Okay Thank God we have your translation, it means I don't have to look up this stuff anymore Alright Here we are That's what Nick said Okay Here goes Venerable Upala Ben's reading, right?

No, I'm reading?

[Speaker 2]
You're reading Okay Yes, please

[Speaker 1]
Nice Now some of you have chir chokpa means you turned your thoughts away from jikten shen gyi dewa This jikten shen means future life The other world Okay Alright If you've been able to give up on trying to achieve be wealthy in this life or the next life Then those people who are now thinking clearly they are able to reject mi tunpe gyu 20, 30 bucks 30 bucks

[Speaker 3]
Causes that don't make sense

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, give me one I'm having problems in my business

[Speaker 3]
I should steal more diamonds from I should

[Speaker 1]
make a cow suffer or the loss of its life will help me get my business in order You see what I mean? So that's called mi tunpe gyu One causes a lot of suffering One is a happy result It doesn't fit The cause doesn't fit the result It's called mi tunpe gyu A not fitting cause Now If you study things you pang You give up those ideas You give up the idea of a cause which is not similar to a result And then your dang du len means to take up And for 20 bucks I gave you guys a colloquial meaning of this

[Speaker 3]
Volunteer

[Speaker 1]
Damn I hate you 20 bucks, okay Xiaoping Yes I swear I should just give my bank account You want to trade bank accounts?

What's the next word? It's a risky thing Risky thing Okay They take up happily the path of white karma White karma Okay Shei jawa And this decision Shei jawa dini I will follow the path of white karma Pure karma That's DO DANG BYAS PA'I TAN CHOS KYI DGOS PA That's the real DGOS PA of the seven TAN CHOS along with their DO Master Dignaga's root text on Pramana And?

[Speaker 3]
And Master Dharmakirti's seven commentaries on the subject

[Speaker 1]
That's the real purpose of studying these seven books Eight books, okay That's the real purpose of studying these eight books Those of you who have the brains LOD DUR DANG LDAN PA SHES PA CHOS KYI Try to understand Try to understand Okay, try to understand That's the reason we're studying logic Yay He boils it down to the reason to study logic is to understand that you can't do a bad deed and get a good result Okay It's not logical Okay We are going to You know, one of the exercises when you start reading a Buddhist book is to establish a goal and then you have to tie that goal to the book Does the book actually help you reach that goal? And this is what we're going to discuss next Okay Let's go Who do I got here? Let me see Gibson, you want to read again?

[Speaker 1]
This is a very, very, very powerful statement This is a very, very, very important statement Here we go We're going to talk about how the goal that we've described of reaching nirvana and buddhahood.

It's something, we're going to describe how, too. It depends on RAG LAS PA, the books on logic. That reaching buddhahood and nirvana depends on studying the books of logic.

We have to prove that. Why? SDON PA DANG LDAN PA RGYUN MED PAR BRTZED MED NGES PA When we talk about using accurate perception to figure out that the teacher and what he taught are perfect, when we talk about using logic to figure out that the Buddha is a teacher who cannot lie, it's not something you can confirm MI GYIS GZUGS LTA BA.

With your physical eyes. With your eyes on forehead. It's not possible to use your physical senses to figure out what can get you out of samsara.

It's not possible. Nobody can do that. You cannot use your sense organs.

You've got to use your mind. And TSUL MTHONG GI SKYE BO, 20 bucks.

[Speaker 3]
People who think they can talk to words this way.

[Speaker 1]
Who started? Who started talking? I think word was more important.

[Speaker 3]
Word. Nick did it.

[Speaker 1]
Word said it first, and I heard somebody else say it. Okay, I'll give you 10 bucks each, 10 bucks each. Here's the word TSUL MTHONG, okay?

Gibson, what's it mean? TSUL MTHONG, TSUL MTHONG.

[Speaker 2]
Here from the outside, the beauty.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yeah. Someone who thinks that the pen is coming from the pen is called a TSUL MTHONG. They see things coming at them and not from them, okay?

And that's a synonym for a non-arya, non-arya, okay? So those are non-aryas, okay? There's no way that they can confirm that the teachings and the Buddha with their physical senses.

They can't. SNGON GSUM means the first choice of SEMS MA. The first choice of PRA MA NA is your direct senses.

They are useless in the pursuit of Buddhahood and Nirvana. You can't use them. They don't help you.

You can't see that with your eyes that if you hurt somebody, something bad's going to happen to you. You can't see that with your eyes, okay? NGES PAR BYED PA means to confirm with their eyes.

They cannot. They need RJES PAR TSE MA. What's that?

[Speaker 2]
Anumana.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, deduction, deduction. They got to figure it out. They have to close their eyes and sit quietly and figure it out, okay?

That's, by the way, he's still selling... After, we're on page 67. He's still selling...

[Speaker 2]
Lodging?

[Speaker 1]
TSE MA? Yeah, he's still selling lodging. I guess it was a hard sell.

It was a hard... Rebecca, do you remember in New York when I did course 13? I lost half my students in one week, you know?

And you were there, I think. I guess you were one of the ones I didn't lose. But if you don't have lodging, you can't confirm Buddhism.

Not possible, okay? All right. I'm still seeing...

Oh, let's let Rebecca read and let's let Gibson criticize her. Yay! Yay!

DE LTA BU'I BYAS PA TSE MA KHYE BA YANG THON PA SANGS RGYAS THAMS LUNG RTOG GI THON PA KHYON MED PAR GRUB PAS THAN TSIG KHYON MED PAR NYID LA RAG LAS LA Good. To get khyewa, to get this kind of deduction that allows you to prove that the Buddha and Buddhism are correct, then you're going to have to use... You're going to have to use good logical statements, GRUB PAS THAN TSIG, to prove that there's no problems, that the Buddha is infallible, the teacher, and that the teachings are infallible.

You must use good reasons. You cannot see it, you cannot smell it, you cannot hear it. You have to prove it in your mind.

RAG LAS LA Depends on good reasoning. And one more time, Rebecca. Gibson, come on.

Let's criticize her. Yay!

[Speaker 2]

[Speaker 1]
And we're going to have to think about it during the coming months when you guys have nothing else to do. Okay. Xiaoping almost fell asleep.

I mean, she's like, what do you think? I have nothing else to do. DE LTA BU'I THAN TSIG KHYON MED PAR YANG To have correct reasoning, then you have to confirm the three relationships in the logical statement.

To prove that logic is solid, you have to prove the three relationships in the logical statement. So, TSUL GSUM MED GRUB PA LA RAG LAS That's how you do it. And in the end, TSUL GSUM THA DAG KYANG And those three relationships, in the end, they must be established, Ben Kramer, by the TSOR MTHONG GI LON GSUM By the direct perception of a TSOR MTHONG, one who sees...

NAN NAYA Of a NAN NAYA Okay, cool. I'm sorry, I got to turn my rice off. I'll be right back.

Oh, wait, here comes my boss. Okay, here we go. I'm cooking rice and teaching a class.

I probably mess up both. TSOR MTHONG GI LON GSUM That's an interesting... That's a statement that you guys can chew on until the next Mixed Nuts term.

In the end, all logical statements have three parts. Let's take the Japanese restaurant. We should eat there tonight because it has good food.

So, one, two, three. Take the Japanese restaurant. We should eat there tonight because it has good food.

The thing to be proven is that the Japanese restaurant is a place we should eat tonight. The reason is it has good food. The object under consideration is the Japanese restaurant.

The quality that we're trying to prove is that it's a place to eat tonight. Now, one, two, three. The three relationships are...

They must hold true. The three relationships must hold true. Number one must be number three.

What's that?

[Speaker 2]
The reason must apply to the object.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, meaning what? The Japanese restaurant. The Japanese restaurant must be...

Must be... It has good food. It must have good food, okay?

Now, if three, then two. If three, then two. If it has good food, then...

We have to go to it tonight. We should go to it. Yeah, okay?

And if not two, then not three. If you shouldn't go to a restaurant, it means... It doesn't have good food.

They don't have good food, okay? Yeah, that doesn't hold, sorry. Anyway, these are the three relationships.

Now, those are three relationships in a statement which is meant to prove something you cannot see with your physical eyes. Okay? That's what logic is for.

But he says, in the end, those relationships are confirmed by your direct senses.

[Speaker 3]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Okay? Especially for non-Aryas. So you guys have to chew on that, okay?

You got to chew on that.

[Speaker 3]
Tenla.

[Speaker 1]
What?

[Speaker 3]
What's the last part mean? The tukmedu tenwang gyuro, exactly.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, gu, but, if you and your opponent in the debate had to limit yourself to logic, then the whole thing would be endless progression. You would never come to a conclusion, okay?

If nobody, if the string of logic depends on dependent on other strings of logic and not on someone seeing something directly, then the process of logic is endless. It would go on forever. Endless circle.

It's very interesting, okay? You have to cook it, okay? You have to cook it.

This is kedrup je. And this is Buddhist logic. In the end, someone's going to have to confirm it.

The pieces, the pieces have to be confirmed with direct perception. Otherwise, you're just going to use logic to prove logic to prove logic to prove logic. There's no M, okay?

Wow. We have time, Nick? We have three minutes.

Okay, Nick, you read it. Good luck. You're the boss.

Tenla. ngunpar toa tang ngepar lekpe go pang la tok du kye ne lokpe lam pang te yang takpe lam la tul shen kyi triwar mi ngepe lo tul shen tu lopa ni dunpa tang tenpa kyunme par tseme ngepar la rak le shing Okay, dena ngunpar toa, if you want to reach the higher birth, or you want to reach ngepar lekpa, nirvana and Buddhahood, definitely good, to reach that state. If you hope to, tom du, by the way, heavy prenasal here, Nick.

Tom du. Tom du. It's kind of strange.

If you hope to reach Buddhahood, you must pang lokpe lam. What's that mean? You got to give up the path of wrong views.

Yeah, you got to give up bad path, okay? You're going to have to, yang takpe lam la tul shen, you're going to have to commit yourself to yang takpe lam, okay? Good path, the correct path.

Now, I'm going to, this is going to be a tough one, Nick. Tiwa means to lead someone away. Tiwa here means to lead someone away.

And you're going to have to be not tirwarable by tse shen. Yeah, you can't be leadable by someone else. Yeah, by another system, by another system, okay?

Learn tse shen du lop pa ni. You must study your path with your mind in the correct way, okay? And then, to get there, you have to believe that this teacher and this teaching are kyunme.

Perfect. And you must confirm that with a tsemo. With the correct, yeah, perception.

And then no one can... If you prove Buddha cannot lie, then you're set. Then everything else is fine.

You're on your way, okay? Cool? So our big job in the Pramanavarttika and in the other six books of logic is to prove that the Buddha cannot lie, okay?

Awesome. Okay. That's amazing, Geshe-la.

Thank you. Thank you for an amazing term again. We're so grateful.

Okay, let's do a mandala for the term, you guys ready? Hey, Gina, you want to lead a mandala? Yay, okay, let's go.

[Speaker 2]
TASHI BU KYI CHU BZHIN MED DOG DRANG RIG RAB LIM BZHIN NEN DE YIN PA'I DI SEMS RGYAS SHIN DU MI DE'I DBU BA YI DRO KUN NAN DAK SHIN LA SHOK PAR SHOK NI DRAM GURU RATNAMANDALAKAR NIRYATAYAM GE WA DI GE WO KUM SON NAM GYESHE SOG SOG SHIN SON NAM GYESHE LE JUN WE DAM PA KUN NI DOG PAR SHOK By the way, you guys, I mean, I'll tell you something I used to do.

[Speaker 1]
I used to play my teacher's recordings while I was washing dishes, while I was building houses for him, while I was mowing the lawn, I would carry a little tape recorder with me, and it won't hurt, okay? So, get a couple of the videos of your class especially, and just play them around the house while you're doing other stuff. You don't have to listen to them carefully, but they will brainwash you in a good way, okay?

[Speaker 2]
So Geshe-la, that wouldn't create the cause to only half listen when you teach?

[Speaker 1]
Come on, don't hassle me. It's true. I mean, we don't have time.

Look, we're all so busy. We're all really busy. So you have to do little tricks.

Any little trick you can use to save yourself a few minutes is what life is all about, okay?

[Speaker 2]
In my personal experience, just the joy of doing it and enjoying it and having you with me while I'm doing the dishes or riding the bus or doing whatever thing, the goodness of rejoicing and hanging out with you while I do all these things, is more than compensated for the fact that sometimes I had to listen to the same class 12 times to get it.

[Speaker 1]
Nice, nice. So just put it on your phone or something and play it at weird times. I'm still listening to the teachings by Geshe Thich Nhat Hanh from 1999 about Chang'e.

I'm still listening to them. I still listen to them. It's on my Spotify thing.

Okay, cool. They're all on YouTube, okay? So feel free, everybody.

We'll get it organized and everything so you can access them. But you all have a spreadsheet so you can get them. Nick, when should we make them live for the whole public?

Let's talk about it. Yeah. Let's talk about it.

We should go. Geshe Michael's probably got pizza.

[Speaker 2]
Thank you, Geshe-la. I love you guys. Thank you.

[Speaker 1]
Love you. We finished two more books today.

[Speaker 2]
Yes. Thank you.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, bye. Thank you. Bye.
