Гибсон Чан — Книга 1: Песнь моей духовной жизни (шаги пути), занятие 3

[Speaker 1]
Take bets on the color of the Gatorade that they dump on the coach.

[Speaker 2]
Bet on everything.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, I guess so, and then I saw I just paid attention to the color, so maybe if I ever decide to bet on that next time I can factor in past. I don't know.

[Speaker 2]
Probably makes no sense why they pick what.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, I don't know. But yeah, I was pretty impressed, because I stopped by my neighbor's house there having like a Super Bowl party, and this kid, my neighbor's brother was betting on like, you know, are they going to score on this drive? And he was just like, I just made 50 bucks.

Like every couple minutes he was betting on something just to get his heart rate up, I guess. I was impressed.

[Speaker 2]
My last Super Bowl was actually, we rented a hotel in Phoenix. Ningpo wanted to watch it, so we all like went there. I think I remember that.

Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
That was like 2011 or something.

[Speaker 2]
Something like that. Yeah, it's literally the last time I went. Are you up?

Who's up today?

[Speaker 1]
It's maybe Ben and Word. Let me check.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
What are you back on?

[Speaker 1]
Word and Ben. I'm tomorrow at 6.30 our time. Middle class.

Yeah, my text is fun. Hola, Nicholas. Hey, back at the ranch.

I said back at the rainbow. Oh, can you hear again? Try again.

Check, check. One, two. Got it.

Okay. Cool. Gibson on homework, right?

Oh, yeah. It's time, huh? Wait, who's up first?

Gibson? Yeah, I'm first. Okay.

So I got a homework first? Yeah. Okay.

Try to confuse everybody. All right. Today's homework is compared more easy.

Oh, I forgot to. Can't say no. Can't say no.

Yeah, can't say no. Crazy. Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. Nick's so smart. He answers the homework question before he sees it.

Exactly. As long as I saw the answer already. Wow.

Okay. So the first question Nick has already answered. So can you relate to the doctor?

How to use the metaphor for the doctor to describe the condition? Oh, well, since I already started. If a doctor was going to cure you, they have to know what's wrong with you.

[Speaker 2]
Yes.

[Speaker 1]
And then they have to care. They have to care enough to try to heal you. And then they have to have the ability to apply the medicine.

Yes. So why we mentioned about this in my context. Oh, I'm trying to remember the context.

Anybody else? Wasn't it part of the opening poetry, like praising? Yes.

So this is like a general good quality that I think is Je Tsongkhapa praise to praise to low Buddha. Yes. Okay.

Well, it's kind of a trick question then. I thought there was going to be some more specific context. Cool.

Okay. So the second one, Chodinama didn't leave the commentary when Je Tsongkhapa bowed down to Manjushri. So what is the reason?

When you say leave the commentary, you mean he didn't offer any commentary? Yes. Okay.

Hmm. Because he offers it later in his own section. Yeah, it's true.

But at the first, why he, um, oh, he say something. It's self-explanatory. Yeah.

He say it's too easy. Everybody knows it. Yeah.

Okay. So, uh, the third question is what is the specific good quality of Buddha's body? So, uh, yes.

Oh, no. Let me see. I was going to guess that too, but then I thought I'd be wrong.

Yeah. But, but what I have the answer here is the Buddha's body is to do by millions of rituals. That's pretty cool.

Yeah. Okay. So the recovery.

What? It's like Jeopardy. Okay.

What about Puntok?

[Speaker 2]
Excellent. Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. And it's a very frequency, uh, frequency as question. What is the Sanskrit for Puntok?

[Speaker 2]
Atisha.

[Speaker 1]
Oh, great. My snake. Yeah.

That's one. Chihuahua. Billions of billions.

Yes. Cool. 10 million in the sense of many.

All right. So here's my translation. All right.

Uh, Cindy, and then, uh, more one to China. Um, uh, oh, yeah. Let's see.

Uh, well, what it means is, uh, we're gonna, we, we finished describing his body and now we're going to describe his speech, right? Yes. And it says, look, if you wanted to describe his speech, you could do it, uh, by talking about the essential nature of his speech.

Okay. That would be okay. Now, that would be okay.

But, uh, let's try to do it by discussing the debut of that speech. In the context of the result.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Let's talk about what happens when he talks, what happens after that. Uh, and then he says, uh, there is a yin ten, and this nam is what, you guys? Isn't it nam je?

Nope. When? Oh, or.

Or. It's or. Okay.

Or. Okay. So when we're talking about the good qualities of the Buddhist speech, or, let's, let's not talk about the essential good qualities.

Let's talk about his chele. Chele. What it, what it does?

Yeah, exactly. Exactly, Nick. Exactly correct, Nick.

Yeah. What is, what does it do? Okay.

What does it do? Well, it, uh, kongster rewa. Yeah.

It fulfills, fulfills the hope of infinite, uh, Beings? Beings. Uh, and two kinds of hopes.

Uh, the hopes of their heart, right? Uh, sorry. Two kinds of hopes.

Nekap and tartok. Immediate and ultimate. Yay, Nick.

You're having, you must have got some sleep or something. I ate salad. Ew.

All right. Good job. Nice.

[Speaker 2]
Okay. Thank you.

[Speaker 1]
Nice job, Nick, by the way. Thanks for paying attention. All right.

Here we go. Back to work. I thought we did this sentence, right, Gibson?

Chele? No, we didn't.

[Speaker 2]
Yes.

[Speaker 1]
It says, so why does it mention 10 million? He says, look, it's just a lot. In English, you could say millions or millions, or you know.

Chang gi chewa, it's not the exact number 10 million. Okay. Don't, don't take it that way.

Okay. Okay. Did we do, I thought we did this.

I don't know. Yeah, I thought I did too. Listen, he says, if you want to know, um, in general the causes of each mark or sign, then, uh, check the Nick's next book, which is the String of Jewels.

Or, or if you're interested more in the individual causes, uh, you can check the Mother Sutras or Dangmendoken. What's that, Gibson? Uh, The Jewel of Realization.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Uh, now the reason I think we didn't finish covering this is that I went and got them for you. And, uh, I thought they're kind of interesting, some of them. Um, so here's the reference in the, uh, String of Precious Jewels.

Okay. Uh, by who? Or, uh, Lola Maitreya.

No. Arya Nagarjuna. Okay.

Yeah, we don't give, we don't give Maitreya books to Nick. We give Nick Nagarjuna books. Uh, yeah.

And here's where it starts. Okay. Can you read this, Gibson?

Okay. Uh, Chennyi Sunjutsanyiki. Good.

Jitakyuggengyupa. Okay, that's, that's good. Okay.

That's good. Uh, what's it mean? San Sunjutsanyi.

Okay. Um, Buddha have 32 major marks. And they gain his ku.

And, uh, it, uh, decorate his body. Nice, very nice. So, here's the reference, and you can use it in your footnote.

There's the page number. That's where it starts in, in the Ratman. Okay.

Uh, Now, the root again, obviously, when you, okay, almost everybody in the monastery memorizes it. And I was, I was talking about it with Veronica. She said, what happens if you can't memorize it?

It's about a 75 page text. I said, then you're a cook for the rest of your life. So, most people memorize it.

And, uh, I want you to tell me what's happening, okay? Listen, okay, uh, Gibson, and tell me what happens. Okay?

Okay. So, the whole book is in this, uh, beat of a one, two, three, four, five, seven-syllable beat, which is normal, okay? Yeah.

And when they hit the 32, uh, signs and the 80, uh, marks, then it goes like this. It's very, very beautiful. CHAD NI SHAB BYED BYAMS SHING SHEN CHAD ZHAGS So, one, two, three, four, five, six.

It changes to nine beats. But it's very dramatic. If you know Tibetan well, uh, it's, it's like, uh, somebody jumping out on the stage, uh, you know, with a golden suit or something.

And, uh, it feels really awesome. Is that at the end of the book, or is that like... It is the last chapter, yeah.

And it's halfway to the last chapter. There's this extremely dramatic, uh, change. And, and don't forget who's writing it.

It's a Buddha. It's Maitreya. And, and so it's very, very beautiful.

It's like he's, he's gonna write poetry about his own body, you know? And, um, so here's where it goes off. Uh, your hands and feet are marked with the wheels.

Okay, your, your knees have a special shape, like this, okay? Uh, so that's, there's the reference in, uh, for your footnote, okay? Okay.

For the Abhisamankara. When you reach the, here's the 25,000 verses, uh, on wisdom. And here's the same part.

CHOG DANG SHAB GOR GOR LOD SEMS DANG LDEM PA The hands and feet are marked with wheels. And, uh, that's where it starts in the mother's dress, okay? Here's where it starts in the 100,000 verses.

Here's where it starts in the 8,000 verses, okay? So Grandpa did those footnotes for you. Yay!

Uh, okay, so please read. And I think Nick wanted to do this one with you. Okay.

Oh, sorry, you just translated that. Uh, okay. Section 15.

Gibson with Nick Checky. Okay. Uh, LAS BA GONG ZHU YANG CHU DE NAS BUN THOB THANG NGES LAS LA DGOS PA GOR NAS PHAN DOG PA THANG THE THANG DE YI GAM GYIS DE CHUNG CHUD PA LA CHA'O Yeah, so we said we're not going to discuss the, the Buddha's speech from the point of view of its essence.

Like, which would be like the 60 whatever divisions, right? CHUNG CHUD TZA'I SHING RANG 64 types. That would be BHA'I MO.

But we're going to do it by what's its effect on people. And he says the effect of it on people is RE BA GONG. What's that, Gibson?

[Speaker 2]
Fulfill the hope.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, how do you say a full cup of tea? CHA GANG CHA GANG CHA GANG So, this is related. You can see it's related.

GONG and GANG Okay. So, how does it fulfill people's hopes? Well, CHOD DANG Teaching the Dharma.

Yeah, and that GOS PA's people to MUN TOG and NGES LEGS. MUN TOG and NGES LEGS. MUN is like directly.

Yeah. NGES LEGS is like an accident. NGES LEGS.

Help him out, Nicholas. NGES LEGS. He's got it right.

It would be to understand it well. No, no, no, no. Oh, to want to escape.

Yeah, MUN TOG is the opposite of the lower realms. Yeah, right. It would be to want to achieve the higher realms and to want to escape sansara altogether.

Well, NGES LEGS means definite good. And it traditionally has two parts. So, MUN TOG is a worldly result, right?

You get a higher birth, deva or human. But NGES LEGS means ultimate good. So, that has two divisions.

Sansara, I mean nirvana and buddhahood. Yeah, nirvana and enlightenment. And it's a big topic in the Abhidharma.

It could be GON GYI. That's how he PEN DOGS people. Wait, Geshe-la, they mentioned buddhahood in the Abhidharma?

Ah, well, yeah, they do. That's how he PEN DOGS. That's how he benefits.

Yeah, that's how he helps people. Okay. And he CHOS PA is their TETZEL.

They cut their doubts. Yeah, they cut the doubts of people as they come up on separate occasions throughout their spiritual path. DE DANG DE SKABS means, you know, as they get doubts during the whole spiritual path, each time they get a doubt, the Buddha will appear and teach them something that takes away their doubt at that stage of the path.

All right, we finished DGUL, SONG. What's next? THUG.

THUG, yay! Nick, do you want to borrow him? Okay.

THUG GYI YON DANG GI SKABS PA YOD TE NGO BO DBANG THUG CHEN NA MA ROL JI LTA CI NYES KYIS ZHES BYA THANG PHYIR JI ZHING MUN GSUM THUG ZHIG PA'I PHYIR RO All right, Nick, take them. Why don't you guys go through this and we'll watch. All right, Gibson, go for it.

I'll try to help if there's something you don't know. Okay, so here is the detailed quality of Buddha's mind.

[Speaker 2]
Yes.

[Speaker 1]
Let's talk about the essence of it. As opposed to? As opposed to the other one.

Yeah, with the SUM, we did the DEBU. As opposed to the result? Yeah, yeah.

When he talked about his speech, we didn't talk about its essence. We talked about what happens after he talks. But now we're going to talk about the essence of his mind, okay?

Okay. Okay. So the essence of his mind is he can directly see all the stuff in the world?

Yay! And you can divide all the stuff in the world into jitawa and jnepa. Jitawa, worldly, and where is the jnepa?

Okay, jnepa, I don't know. I'm trying to remember. Is the vessel on the content?

Well, it's similar. It's two divisions of reality. How they appear and how they are.

Like, yeah. All right, right, right, right, right. Jita means how they are.

Jita means their emptiness. And jnepa means the total quantity. Oh.

They're empty. Those are both modifying manu. He knows all knowable things because he knows every separate thing, and he knows how every separate thing is, meaning its emptiness, okay?

Okay. All right. Nick, one more line together.

Okay. Correct this pronunciation. Okay.

He must have a Taiwanese accent with his Tibetan. I think so. That was perfect, actually.

Yeah, it's kind of boring to chat. Let's see if there's anything. Let's translate it, Nick, together.

Okay. Go ahead, Gibson. What do you want?

Tang denpa is like he got the quality of... Yeah. Okay.

You know? Good. Yeah, he has those kinds of body, speech, and mind qualities.

And... And here's the verb. Jantung kappa is chak tsa.

Okay. So jantung kappa is bow down to... Good.

The head. Good. Of the holy being.

Of the shakya clan. Of the shakya, okay, clan. Yeah, which is shakya tupa, shakya muni.

Good. And... So, what is a yenlaki tangpa?

I'm just waiting to offer somebody 50 bucks. It's hard. It's hard, but it's...

Once I tell you, you'll say, oh, I get it. His holy limb, his head. Isn't it?

If you want money word, you got to answer precisely. Dampa doesn't only... Forget the bed, okay?

What's dendam denpa? Ultimate. Yeah, what's the ultimate yenlaki of the body?

The head. Are you saying it has to be the ultimate? Yeah, dampa means highest, usually.

The highest limb. What's the highest limb of the body? Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It depends. If you're talking about Tim, it's that crest he has with his hair, okay? But with most people, it's their head, okay?

So, by the way, it's supposed to be a big deal that you put the highest part of your body on the lowest part of the Buddha, when you put your head on the Buddha's feet. That's supposed to be a big deal, okay? So, what's du here?

Wow. Yeah. Yeah, bow.

So, he's just trying to define the word chaksel in the root text, okay? And that's going on all through here. When you see bolded text, it'll be followed by words that try to clarify it.

And this commentary, I can tell you something. It's polished. It's highly polished.

He took his time, and he was in a good place, you know? This is not rushed. It's very, very well done.

It seems like he spent his time and did a really good job on it. All right, Mr. Haggerty is going to check you now. Be careful.

Those people from Seattle, they drink a lot of beer. And coffee. And coffee.

Nibbāni. Nibbāni. Lame duṅpāteni.

Yeah, Haggerty. He sounds perfect. Tesso shide.

ZLS. Yeah, that's... He said his offering of praise is going to have five parts.

He did not list the five. But we can figure it out, and maybe that's what our headers are going to be. Who was the object of the first verse when he bowed down?

Who did he bow down to first? Lobuddha. Yeah, and now he's just going to go through five different objects to bow down to.

You can almost anticipate the next one. But let's go read it together. Stanley was going to take you through this red part.

Stanley, did you run away?

[Speaker 2]
No, I'm here.

[Speaker 1]
Stanley, we got a car today. Really? Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, congratulations. Wow.

[Speaker 1]
These cars fall apart, so I had to buy a new one.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, good. Cool.

[Speaker 1]
Toyota? No, we don't like the new Toyotas. They look like tanks.

We got a Subaru. Okay, Stanley, stop trying to get out of it. Now, this one.

Please read first. All right. Wow.

Stanley, do the last line first. Well, there are two names there, right, Gibson? Yeah.

Yes. What is that? Jambal...

Jambal... Yang? Yeah, Jambal Yang.

And... Who's the first one? Who's Jambal?

Jambal. Maitreya. Yeah, Mipham means Ajit, means unbeatable one, Maitreya.

But he is beatable. He was afraid to ask Vimalakirti a question. All right.

He was just a young Bodhisattva. Okay, okay, okay. So, the first verse is to Lord Buddha, so it makes sense that the second verse is to two of his main disciples, Maitreya and Manjushri, okay?

And especially because we have... What kind of book is this?

[Speaker 2]
Lam Rim.

[Speaker 1]
Lam Rim, right. And what's the two emphasis of Lam Rim? The profound view and the wild activity.

Yeah, good, good. So, Maitreya's got the Bodhisattva side covered, and Manjushri has the emptiness side covered. So, that's why we have these two guys.

All right. Now, Stanley, you guys work through the whole thing here, and Ben Kramer's going to jump in if you need help.

[Speaker 2]
Okay. Gibson, you want to go ahead first? I have some dictionary, but I...

[Speaker 1]
I stuck in the first one. Kangla, no? That is Chaksel Kangla.

Okay. I bow down to... Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. Who's his second Chakselist to these two guys?

Okay. Zen is like a guide, right? No, that's with a D.

This is a G. I don't know. DZEN DA means...

DZEN means to compete. Compete. Yeah, yeah.

So, what's a DZEN DA? Competes with the moon? So, it's your opponent, isn't it?

Yeah, it's a competition partner. It means he doesn't have anybody who can compete with him on the same level. DZEN DA means someone who can compete with you.

Mirpa. No such... There's no such being.

Yeah, with non... No, nobody can compete with the dunpa. With their teacher.

With our teacher, yeah. And who are his chukkise? Oh, Stanley, you're supposed to be doing this.

Chukkise. Yeah. What is chukkise?

The son of the Dharma. The son of the teaching. Dharma son.

Not a physical son, but a Dharma son. Oh, wow. Yeah, how many of them?

Changse nang is a lot of bodhichitta. Changse. Oh, probably the Changse.

Changse, it can be bodhichitta, or it can be an individual.

[Speaker 2]
And since you got a nang, you got a plural that's probably not more than one bodhichitta, but more than one bodhisattva.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, more than one bodhisattva. So, nang ne chuk is the highest of the all? Yeah, that's chok tu gyur.

Chok tu gyur means the highest of all of his bodhisattva children. Stanley, did you hire Ben? Ben Kramer, you got to go to kur nam.

Kur nam.

[Speaker 2]
You got to go to kur nam.

[Speaker 1]
In the middle of the third line. Word can tell you what kur is. Oh, kur, yeah, as in load.

Good, yeah. Nam means to take on.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, yeah, kur nam, you took on the load. Oh, the one who takes on the load, or something of... Kun Gibson, like Tom Che.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, you take the load of all the activity. Yeah, the 12 mighty deeds. They took on themselves this load of the 12 deeds of ku sung neng tuk.

Body, speech, and mind of Buddha. Of the Buddha, right, good. And then, when he has a te, Ben, Yes.

It means it's in a positive.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, yeah, same guy, colon.

[Speaker 1]
So, nam means she. She means to take on. Okay.

Oh, okay. She neng.

[Speaker 2]
Carried, I'm having done that. Chik ten di kam dir.

[Speaker 1]
Chik ten di kam dir. Oh, you know chik ten di kam? Oh, chik ten is world.

Yeah, many social worlds. Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, in the realm of the world, in this realm.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, in this world.

[Speaker 2]
In this world, yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Not only in this world, but in the shing of trang mepe sang gyi.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, yeah.

[Speaker 1]
How many, yeah. Countless. Yeah.

In the countless, Buddha's paradise. Good. They chupa as changsims.

They animate as a bodhisattva. Yeah, and they also do many other cars. Car, do many other.

I don't know. Car means charm, dance. Dance.

Dance, yeah. Dance, yeah. So they dance, they take on many dances of the bodhisattvas, pretending to be bodhisattvas, okay?

They nambarulwa. They play the music? This one means they play, like a stage play, okay?

They dance the dance of many bodhisattvas, pretending to be bodhisattvas, not only in this world, but in countless other Buddha paradises. Who are these guys that like to dance the dance of the bodhisattvas? They are?

They are Maitreya and Gentle Boys. Yay, okay. All right, Stanley, you're free.

Hey, Warren, why don't you guide him to the next one? Stan, can I ask you a quick question? Yeah.

Do you have an English name for Maitreya, the way that you do for Gentle Boys? I say Loving One. Loving One?

Loving One, yeah. And then Mipham means undefeatable or something like that. Ajita, Ajita, okay.

Okay, Dehi has two names. One is Loving One and one is undefeatable, undefeated, yeah. Okay, whose word?

Let's do it. All right, Gibson, go for it. Okay, let's go forward.

Okay, I think the structure is really cool. So read the first part up to the comma, Gibson. Okay.

Zepa, what's Zepa? Activity. Okay.

And the kioshe we just had in the previous verse. How they take the load of activity. Right, yeah.

The way in which they take the loads of those deeds. Enlightened deeds. Exactly.

And so the rest is broken up into basically two sections, one for Maitreya and one for Manjushree. Yeah, exactly. Go for it.

Both Maitreya and Loving One in gentle voice. Good. Key.

What's the key mean? Key is to indicate the subject. Okay, and so, okay, now what are the objects?

What's happening? What's happening? Well, the two verbs are Tsung and Bel.

Tsung and Bel. Okay, so what's the Toupei Dampei Chi? Toupei, Able One's Teaching.

Yeah, the Able One's High and Holy Teaching or something. High and Holy Teaching, yes. Perfect.

But what is the Chi here? I think it's as opposed to Kepar in the next part. Okay.

What's the difference between Chi and Kepar? They're opposites. Yeah, general in the detail.

Perfect. And so, yeah, and so now the Gatchen Chi, Gatchen Chupa? The worldly activity.

Yeah, and what does that refer to? Refer to, like, to develop a Bodhicitta. Yeah, and who does that refer to in the sentence?

In this sense, it's a Zhang Yang gentle voice. No, the Bodhicitta. Oh, no, Maitreya.

Sorry, Maitreya. I'll do the next part. Tongue.

Tongue in. Yep, and what? And the profound view.

Nice. And what is that a code word for? For emptiness.

It's referred to gentle voice. Nice. And what's Gyu with a B in front of it?

Gyu. It's a lineage. Nice.

The Gyu Rim. So the, what's Rim? Rim is a step, but here means how they, I don't know, pass the lineage.

Nice, nice. It's those two lineages passed down and they're, they're being sung and they're being held. They're being kept.

Kept. And then they're... And shiny?

Oh, not, not shining. It's close to Gya Chen. It's the verb form of what Gya Chen is.

Seal? No, it's like spread, like expand or flourish or something. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, good. Nice job, you guys. Yay.

Thank you, Lord. I'm gonna retire. Maybe I'll just go have dinner.

Please stay. All right, so we finished the, we got five objects of prostration. We finished Lord Buddha, then we did his two spiritual sons, which is Maitreya and Manjushri.

Who's gonna come up next? We can skip that. That just means the root text, okay?

Hey, oh gosh, this is words. Okay, word. I am taking a, I'm gonna go make myself some juice, okay?

I'm listening. All right, yeah. I'll be working on it.

This is words, words section. Go for it, Gibson. Please read.

I will criticize you. All right. Good.

Let's do some quick broad stroke of it and then look at the specifics. What's khang la na? It's.

I bow down to? It's like, it's like this game they play. Who am I going to bow down to?

Okay. It's like supposed to be like this guessing game and they describe it and you're like. And reveal the answer at the end.

Yeah, exactly. Okay, let's see. So again, we have this chitang kepar.

What's that mean? Oh, I'll have a general quality and the detail quality. Perfect.

And then the gelwe sung rap. Oh, the highest speech of the conqueror. And sung rap can literally mean the teachings.

And it can teaching. Yeah, because there's like 12 sung rap. That's a whole thing.

But it can also just mean like in general, the teachings of the victors or the buddhas. By the way, with with soon, it means the highest of spoken words in the in the world. Okay, cool.

Thank you again. Shindu. Shindu pakpa.

Shindu. Very. Super.

Yeah, what's it mean like jaypak? Jaypak is like deducted. But here means to measure.

Yes. Good. And this, okay.

$20. What's this te mean? Te.

Wait a minute. I gotta get this out of recording. Go ahead.

Say that again. $20. What is te mean?

Oh my god. I must be having a good day. What does it mean?

We had a similar one in the last section. No, I couldn't guess. Okay, Kramer knows.

Kramer, do you remember? That's off. It's an appositive.

Exactly.

[Speaker 2]
Oh.

[Speaker 1]
So again, this is the bolded is the root text. And the non-bolded is basically his annotations. He's explaining.

So pakpar and pakpar are equivalents.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, okay.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, te, te, te and day can be a positives or commas or semicolons depending. Okay. Okay.

So now we have the kawa gelwe yum. What's yum mean?

[Speaker 2]
Okay, the mother.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, officially it means mother. But what does it mean when it's a book? Oh, it's a, it's a book that will generate a lot of, how to say generate?

Give the birth of the Buddha. Yeah, wisdom specifically. Oh, wisdom.

Yeah, like mo and lamrim chenmo, right? It's like female. It's the kawa gelwe, gelwe.

What's that mean? Kawa gelwe. Kawa is a Buddha speech.

No, that's with a B. This is with a D. This is like my book.

What kind of book? Okay, difficult. But how?

The card goes with topa. Yeah. Okay, cool.

The difficult to what? To understand. Yeah, perfect.

Um, and that is the, what we're referring to is the gelwe yum. And it's, it's, it's sum. Ye, dring, and du.

Dupa, what does that mean? Um, half, um, greater and the median and, and sum the right. Why is dupa important to your book?

Because my, my, this book is called Lamrim Duba. The name of the book. That's good to know.

You should know the name of your book. Yeah. Okay, tun, tun, tun jitawa.

Um, what's, tun can mean like a few things. Tun can mean the meaning and, and the goal. Yeah.

And what's the third word thing it can mean? Uh, the object. Yeah.

I think here it's object because jitawa, right? The way things. Uh, no, that gelpa is, uh, the gelpa fits the gongba.

Oh, it goes backwards. So the tun, the jitawa is, um, the meaning of how, how things really mean again? Uh, well, what the Buddha had in mind.

Okay. So now they're talking about great commentators to scripture and they did their commentaries exactly according to the gongba. Right.

Gongba, like gongba rapsa. What's that mean, Gibson? The true meaning.

Good. Drel, drel, drel, excuse me. Drel is that, uh, to, to clarify or to explain.

Yeah. And if they're saying zay here, what are they saying about these commentators? Um, zay is to make a, to compose.

Yeah. But what does that mean? They're saying zay and not jay.

It doesn't say P Y E D. It says M D Z A D. Oh, it's an honorific word.

Yeah. It's an, it's an honorific. Praising them, right?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Gone, it's a transition word, connecting word. What's that? Um, connecting word in?

I mean, it's like via, like, or by the user. Okay. So now we're going to move to who, who, who done it?

Um, they were Zomling. Zomling, Zomboling. Zomboling.

Where's that? Uh, where we stay. Yeah.

Where you live, Zomboling. What is it? Why is it called Zomboling?

Zomboling. It's a lot of jewel. I don't.

It's, it's the fruit the sound makes when it hits the ocean. Oh, the ocean. Oh, okay.

And they are again to that world. Yeah, they are jewel to, to Zomling. Yeah.

They are, right? Yeah. By the way, word, you got to read it backwards.

They are jewels of this world by having Dalzi. Right. Okay.

Got it, Gibson. Oh, where is Dalzi? Okay.

Um, earlier it said Gungpa Drell and then Zay is the root. Okay. Okay.

So what did the Zombo, Zomboling again do? Gungpa Drell. They are the jewel to the.

Because they. Because they made the commentary. Yeah.

Perfect. Um, and there's, there's six of them and that's, that's a list. Maybe that'll be, oh, it's in Geshe-la just put it down here.

I think there's different lists, different sixes because I looked this up, Geshe-la. It's actually kind of hard to find. I, I used a great dictionary, but I don't always trust it.

I found different lists before, but we can talk about it. Um, okay. And so, um, who are these, who are these commentators?

Ludrup? Uh, um, Ludrup. Arya Nagarjuna.

Yeah. He's not Arya here, he's Gungpo. What's that mean?

Oh, Gungpo is the protector. Yeah. Tang.

Now, now here's your Arya. Pakpa Thokme. Pakpa Thokme.

Arya Sanga. Yeah. And Che, Che, Che, Che.

What do those mean? Che means to, uh, to hold. Not here, C-E-S.

Che. Che. Same as Che.

Oh, it's praying? It just means their names are, that's what I'm talking about. Okay.

Um, and, uh, uh, they, they are famous in the Sa-Sum, which is Oak, Sa-Tang, and Sa-La. Okay, under the earth and on the earth and on the sky. Yeah, exactly.

Where the birds live, where the worms live, and where we live. They're Yeong-Su Jokpa. They're not just Jokpa, they're Yeong-Su Jokpa.

They are, uh, wildly famous. Yeah, and when you see these Yeong-Sus, I would make an effort to translate it, not with a English adjective, but find one word that fits it, because it's actually, usually just the translation of a Sanskrit word that was one long word. Okay.

Yeah, and Shopla. Shopla. What's shop?

Shop here. Shop is like the feet. What kind of feet?

Uh, holy feet. Okay, what are we doing to those feet? Uh, we bow down to these holy feet.

Yay! Nice job, you guys. You guys are a good team.

Maybe you should, uh, work on this book together. I don't think you got a word. You want to take him to Genduk?

All right, let's do it. Um, this is your foot, this is your footnote. Okay, um, Gendruk, what's that, Gibson?

We were just talking about it. The feet jewel. Yeah, um, um, they are the ones that made, uh, Zomling Zay.

Nice word. They are made the Zomling beautiful. Yay!

Um, that's why, that's, that's how come they're the six, six beautifullers. Um. Yeah, okay.

What does the S-T-E mean here for zero dollars, Gibson? Oh, a positive. Basically, it's like a colon, like now he's going to explain about that thing he just gave the full name of.

Um, Umegen Ludrup. Uh, Umegen Ludrup, uh, the jewel of the middle way, um. Good.

Uh, Nagarjuna. And, and his trusty assistant, Papahla. Papahla is like, uh, Ayadeva.

Nice. Exactly. They usually put those names together.

Then, um, Yunfei, again, Tokme Tangitien. What's, what's Yun, Yun? Yun is the Abhi.

Good. Which Abhi are we talking about here? Oh.

You got, you got. You got the Supreme Jewel, the Supreme Jewel Asanga. You got Vasubandhu there.

Oh. Uh. Wow.

Again, it could be both. Abhi, Abhi. Well, no, it's because this is talking about the Samuccaya and the Kosha.

Yeah. Oh, that's what I mean, it's both. It's both Abhis here.

Uh, not really, because Abhidharma Samuccaya and Abhidharma, uh, Zer, Abhidharmakosha, right? So they're both Abhidharma. Okay, cool.

Okay, and then the two who made Tsema, who, who did Tsema? What's Tsema? So how do we translate the Unbe, Yunfei, again, Tokme Tangitien?

The Abhi Jewels, the... Well, it's here, it's the Jewels of Higher Knowledge. Right.

Okay, Jewel Hamlet. Okay. Cool.

And then we have the, the Tsema again. Okay, the Jewel of Valid Perfection. Yay.

And, and... Oh, it's, uh, Choklang. We got...

Mm-hmm. And interesting here, what's this, who's the second person? Kang Chudza, uh, Dharmakirti?

No, yeah, Dharmakirti, exactly. Yeah, good, good. Um, and then, um, Nyar, Nyar?

You might not know, do you know that one? You know Nyar, without the R. Uh, the previous.

Yeah, Nyar means like ancient or something. Um, like in olden times or something. Gagyar?

Okay, Gagyar Indian. Nice. Yeah, they were the, the, um, Chuk, um, Lopanchampos.

Jun means like a tree or the wandering? No, Chuk at the end, just Gendruk. No, he said Jun, Jun.

Oh, Jun, Jun, oh, excuse me. Um, Junpo here means, does it mean the ones who went, the ones who were in India? Yeah, uh, the ones who appeared in, in India, yeah.

Yes, this is the honorific of, of, um, Lep, I think.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, okay.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yeah. Okay, um, so, so who, so who are those who appeared? Lopanchampo Chuk.

Lopanchampo Chuk, uh, Lake's, uh, five great master. Uh, six, six. Yay!

Nice job, you guys. By the way, uh, I'll ask, uh, Gibson. Why are we, why did we want to have a footnote about the six jewels?

Um, because, uh, Choney Lama didn't mention in the commentary. Well, uh, Tsongkhapa only bowed down to two of them. Okay.

Uh, and then, uh, Choney Lama said, when, when Tsongkhapa bows down to these two, he really is bowing down to all six, but he just had room for these two, okay? And also, these two are kind of the bosses. They are the great innovators, shing de sul je, of the wisdom and the bodhis chitta ninjas, right?

Yes. Okay. They're carrying on.

Udub's carrying on from who? And, uh, Togme is carrying on from who? Togme is carrying by...

He's carrying the teachings of... Which of the two guys we just bowed down to? Uh, well, Asanga's carrying on the, the bodhichitta teachings.

Bodhisattva bodhi, right? And Udub is carrying on... Uh, the emptiness teaching.

...teachings by... Um, by, uh, Zhang, Zhang Beiyang. Manjushri, yeah.

Yeah. So we got the same dual lineage here. Just the next generation, okay?

And who's the last person in these lineages? Um... Gibson.

I was just going to say, Gibson. No, I'm serious. I'm serious.

All right, uh... Not the last one. How keen, um, is...

Hey, who's doing all this bowing down? Well, it's Lhosa Dharpa. Yay.

Yeah, Je Tsongkhapa. That's all. Now, this day is questionable.

We got to check a good karmic, okay? It's probably Nga, actually. Or, I'm not sure, okay?

Or Dao, okay. All right, we're going to skip the verse and go... Now we're on the fourth object of the opening prostrations, okay?

Who was the first object? Uh, offering of praise? No, who, who did he bow down to first?

Oh, uh, Low Buddha. And then he had two more? Uh, he have, have, uh, um...

Zhang, uh, Zhang Beiyang. Um, Maitreya and Manjushri. And then he bowed down to two commentators who carried on those two guys.

Nagarjuna and... Nagarjuna and Asanga. Yeah, now who's next?

Who's coming up next? Let's go see. Again, we're over time.

Ah, shucks. Okay. Uh, by the way, he's going to bow down to Atisha.

Okay, why just one guy? Um, he combined the two lineage. Ah, you are so brilliant.

Welcome to the Mixed Nuts. Yay. Okay, uh, by the way, Gibson...

Since you know how to make momos, you better do 28 and 29 both. Okay. Okay?

Okay, thank you, Kim. Thank you. Stopped here.

15, 22. Okay, good. Uh, okay, Nick.

How long we got? Take five. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.

Uh, who's up next, by the way? Ah, Ben. Oh, okay, uh, hang on just a second.

Uh, hang on just a second. Are you, okay. Are you ready?

Yes.
