Гибсон Чан — Книга 1: Песнь моей духовной жизни (шаги пути), занятие 8

[Speaker 2]
Where is Gibson?

[Speaker 1]
Morning Geshe-la. Hey, you look scholarly today. New glasses or haircut or something.

Okay, let me share my screen. Okay, this is our second homework. So, last time we talking about the four features of the long ring.

And for the first question, a long ring process for special feature. And the first one is to realize the realization that all Buddha's teaching are not contradict each other. So, what's Chodinama's comments on that?

Why the Buddha's teaching are not contradict each other? Because they said different things according to different people's capacities or what they needed. Okay, let's see another answer for the following question.

[Speaker 2]
If you say something about, if you understand that absolutely every single thing the Buddha said was for the purpose of you realizing the past, the Buddha's teachings that you've realized that they're not contradictory.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, each Buddha's teaching they are playing a role. They are contribute to what? To your own.

[Speaker 2]
Enlightenment.

[Speaker 1]
Yes. So, I think this is the main reason. Let me share.

So, if you understand all Buddha's teaching, some of them are principle path and some of them are branch of the path, but they are going to contribute to reach enlightenment either directly or indirectly. Yeah. So, if you understand this greatness, then none of the teaching contradict each other.

Yeah. So, the following question is to fill the blank. Here is the question.

The second special feature of the Long Ring is all Buddha's teaching, whether they are open or secret. Open or secret.

[Speaker 2]
Great.

[Speaker 1]
Do you know the Tibetan? Yeah. Yeah.

Similar to. Yeah. Okay.

And all the what's which is friendly intention.

[Speaker 2]
Classical commentaries.

[Speaker 1]
Yes. Cool. And what is the Tibetan for this one.

Thank you. Thank you. Cool.

And which is friendly intention. Are you going to take them as what or something.

[Speaker 2]
What pretty books to put on your bookshelf to show off to people or something to practice.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, cool answer. So, if you think what kind of, if you have what kind of thinking and that's a wrong idea. And I think that's what we'll policy.

We will say is there's separation between these philosophical books and personal life, then that's a total wrong idea because each philosophical book can put into practice. So this is a second feature. Okay, the third question.

What is the serious karma you can make like falling down from the tall building and why it is the worst thing you can do. Disparage the teachings. Yes, let's go into the grocery store right.

So, yes, and why it is the worst thing you can do. Because you are criticizing or picking up something that told by who Buddha Buddha Buddha, a being who can see the 10,000 future of your life and make have have have the answer before that. Although they are higher way and lower way, and the sound disagreement, like meaning of the emptiness.

But it is just because the different level of student and Buddha had to say something strange, but all of them help you to get enlightenment. Change. Yeah, I love it.

So, I love this Tibetan so what a dumb bar tower strikes you as personal advice. Yeah. So what does that mean.

It means when you go to a teaching, and the high lamas starts criticizing. Oh, that's exactly what I did last week. Yes.

Okay, so dumb bar, which guess I say, it's very often using what turn into pattern. Yes. So, yes.

And means that also. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, so what drove me. Take steel. Steel.

Okay. Cool. And what's this idea.

Wrong idea missing Tibetan. Love talking. My answer.

Yeah, correct. By the way, Gibson when you say truck means steal I think it's also important to say that it can mean steal your heart. Also, you know, still.

Okay. You know, like Emily. You mean like this one?

Yeah. Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
In that, in that case, it's a good thing. Okay, cool. All right, here's my translation.

Yay. Do I need to read it. Yeah, why don't you read it in Tibetan.

Okay. All right. All right.

I like your shirt. Okay, let's go. All right.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's not so so it's to do. Yeah.

Purpose. Okay. Okay, good.

So, let's see, the scripture says that if you study and teach this system of teaching. Study and teach this system of teaching, steps and paths for a single session. Study and teach this system of teaching, steps and paths for a single session.

Okay. Study and teach this system. Okay.

Okay. It is definitely going to collection. More effective and powerful.

Yeah, good. He's going to make a big point about du du wa, or sorry, su su wa, according to him. He's going to make a big point about why did Tsongkhapa repeat briefly, briefly.

Okay, just to warn you. So, you're going to have to, I like your translation, but later we're going to have to make it clearly to do us. Okay.

And we'll find out why. So, I think you caught all the words. And let's go to 63.

It's good. And I like how you are italicizing things. All right.

Can't wait. This is coming from Shepani. Shepani.

Let's see. Yeah. And then the last three words of his verse.

Okay. I think, right? They're doing some...

It's kind of like a wrap-up. So, that's all. He's...

Yeah. For this reason. And this dampa means...

Yeah. This dampa means personal advice for us from Tsongkhapa. So, in his last line, Tsongkhapa says, because of all this cool stuff that you are studying, all of the meaning of all the scriptures of Lord Buddha in a brief way, I want you to think about that sometimes.

He's giving us some summary advice. So, you got to make it clear that Tsongkhapa is giving us advice in the last line. It's just like personal advice.

Hey, you guys. Why don't you try it? Just try it.

Like that. Okay. Can you guys hear a bird here?

Yes. There's a very beautiful cardinal, which we often take to be a sign of Vajrayogini. Okay.

Yay. Oh, here it is. I'm going to give you a clue, Gibson, and I want you to figure it out.

He says the reason Tsongkhapa repeated summarizes, summarizes. Summarizes, summarizes. Contains, contains.

He said that for two reasons, because there's two different summaries going on here. There's two different summaries going on here. What are they?

Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. There's one summary of Tsongkhapa Thamgyur, all the ne in Tsongkhapa Thamgyur. Then there's another summary in the how it is Dhamma here.

Okay. Like Thamgyur, Thamgyur. Good, yeah.

This lam rim, first of all, it summarizes all the open and secret teachings, but also it's something you can teach in a summary way, which means you can have short classes about lam rim. So that's why he repeated the word du, du, summary, summary. The content is summarized from the whole Thamgyur and Thamgyur, but also the presentation is brief, and it's a summary presentation, and especially my little lam rim here, it's brief.

So that is Choney Lama saying, it's not an accident that Tsongkhapa repeated summary, summary. In fact, it is a summary, summary. Okay?

It's a joke, okay? It's a summary because it contains all the Kangyur and Thamgyur, and it's a summary summary because it's short. Okay, thank you Geshe-la.

So good luck on that. Okay. Okay.

All right, cool. Nice homework. Very nice homework.

I'm really grateful that you guys are doing such nice homeworks. I don't know why, but it makes me happy. Okay, let's go to this book.

Let's stop for here. Okay, good. We finished this whole section.

Now here comes a big part, and Kat wanted to check me. She told me. All right.

Okay. Nipa Sunkhi Dukkha Sevala Shun Shun Shun Shun Shun Shun Shun Shun Shun All right, what's that mean? Okay, so this sermon has three parts, and the first is preliminary, and now we come to the main text.

Yeah, yay. Okay, so Ngozi means the... What's Ngozi mean, you guys?

[Speaker 2]
The main event. Yeah, the main event.

[Speaker 1]
The main event. So it's like the Rolling Stones are coming to play, and somebody else plays before them a little bit. Okay.

So we finished the opening act, and now we have the main event, the main band. Okay. All right.

Keep checking. Venerable Kadin. Okay.

CHOS CHOS SOGS NI SHUN GYIS YIN LA YIN LA RIGS SHUNG DUN RIGS RGO GYIS RGO GYIS DBANG THUB BYAS TE BYAS PA LA NI THOS MO'I BA THANG THOS MO'I MA YIN PAS LA'ANG LA BA'A TSUL LO Cool. Okay, cool. What's a chenger?

Offering of praise. Yeah, it's the opening lines. Every Buddhist book praises somebody at the beginning.

You're so cool, somebody. Then those are just yin laks of the shung. They are just part of or branch of the text?

Yeah. They're not the main text, right?

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
Not the main text. So why don't we get to the shung dun lu? Why don't we go to the main text?

Main object. Relative to that, I'm going to give you two chepas. I'm going to give you two explanations.

Good. All lamrims have the same structure. All lamrims are divided into two parts.

Very, very famous. There's the tumongwa part. Sorry, tumongway lam.

And then there's the tumongmayinpay lam. What's that? Path which is shared and path which is not shared.

Yeah, which is unique. What's the path which is not shared? The higher.

Highest hope. Yeah, you can say Mahayana. Almost all lamrims have a little few pages about diamond way at the end.

So you could read it either way here. We'll see how he divides it. All right.

What's lap chuh here mean? Oh, how to train yourself. Okay.

How to train yourself in the common path, and how to train yourself in the path which is not shared. Common is a dangerous word in English because, why you guys? It denigrates.

It can mean shared, but it can also mean not special. Like common people. So I like to use shared.

Shared path. All right. You're still checking Venerable Khadeng.

Okay. Okay. Make it look great.

Come on, come on. Okay. That's a good one.

It's great. Gun dro tang. Gun shiyo.

Shiyo. Gun. Gun.

Gun shiyo. Okay. So when we're presenting the shared path, it's going to have two parts.

First, ngun dro, and then wu shi. preliminary and the main event. Yeah, the main event, yeah, and the main text.

Keep going, Venerable Khadi, you're not getting any solid lines here. This SKAD just means the first point here, which is the preliminaries, are expressed in the eight lines of Tibetan, which come next. And by the way, if you're translating a book like Nik is, which was originally written in Sanskrit, usually the Tibetan lines will be twice as many as the Sanskrit lines.

So you have to be, usually you have to be careful when they talk about how many lines. When you translate this SKAD, you're going to have to say eight lines in the original Tibetan, because the English tends to be even longer. All right, please read.

Come on, Venerable Khadi, one more. ,LAM RIM YONG YONG RDZOGS DANG, ,THEG YI CHA SHES, ,TSAM LAS GZHUGS DBANG PA, ,LAS KYANG PHAN YONG CHEN PO, ,YOD TSUD SANGS PHAGS SOGS, ,GWON THOD DANG DE, ,THEG NAS DI DA SNYAM GZHUGS LAM BA BYA'O, ,SHES TZAM BYAR BA Yeah, anybody, Tsam Jar Wa, what's that mean, Tsam Jar Wa? A crossing from the line?

Yeah, here it means, in the composition of a book, it's a segue. We call it segue, right? I just learned this word a couple years ago.

It's a bridge. It's a bridge between the introduction and the main text. It's called Tsam Jar.

So, what's the bridge? The bridge or the segue is just the word dene, that tiny little word. Where is that dene right here in the beginning of the first verse, the first line?

It says, dene, okay, dene, dene. By the way, this is a great, as I told you guys before, if you have a talkative Tibetan friend, which maybe I have, who calls me almost every day, you can get out of the conversation by saying, dene, dene. What happened then?

What happened then? And then they, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah. And then when it gets a little quiet, you say, dene.

And this way you can translate Adam's text and have a conversation with, you just keep saying, dene, dene, dene, dene. Okay, so, and then he's giving this whole section 69, is a commentary on dene, okay? That whole section is just a commentary on dene, okay?

So he says, mun du dang, what's mun du dang at the end of the second line? Mun tu, previous? Yeah, it means, first he gave us, first he gave us an introduction.

Okay, first he gave us an introduction. And this, this le su langpa is le su lengpa. What's that mean?

It means to put something into practice. Okay, to actually practice something. Le su langpa means actually put it into practice.

If you put into practice the yong dzok lam rim, the whole lam rim, or even a chache of that lam rim. Or just part of it. Yeah, just any part of it.

Pen yin chenpo. Your, your benefit will be awesome. Yeah, yeah.

Good. Sampa. First, I just want you to think about it, okay?

Now that we prepared your mind, now that you're excited about lam rim, dene, dene, then, then, well, how do you nyam sen langwa? How do you put into practice? Good, yeah.

So now that I sold you on this used car, how are you going to drive it? Okay, all right. I don't know if tang tang, let's just read this one, right?

I think so. We were gonna, we had some other plans for you, but you, you blew them up, Gibson. You're too good.

Okay, so let's, let's read this one with... Who would you like to check you, Gibson? Stanley.

Pick somebody that looks sleepy. Yeah, Stanley's good. Okay, okay.

Pen yin de dak dongway te, di tang chi me lek chok. Wait, dongwa, right? Yeah, dongwa.

By the way, please, when you see an S, stretch it out. Okay. And not only that, but prenasal, Stanley.

la ma la, lang dun pe, ge way she nyen, tang pa, she pa che te, pe pa cha po yi, la ma la, yi cha po yi. By the way, especially after an open vowel, like if the sound ends in a vowel, like e-u-a-o, then make it long okay okay it's all the time difference between Taiwan and Singapore okay get here to get bay go nesam bait in batang nice Kenyan data Toma if you tong this Kenyan if you look at least our quality good quality yeah if you really understand all the all the good things about this used car that I'm trying to sell you so it's not talking you translate I still understand here it is actually means paying a day a person who who sees all these great qualities of the long rim that I described to you okay okay this Tonga means a person who sees then they should try to find that sour they should find their loot the root of all the Lekpa all the good thing all good things what's the famous leg bar in Buddhist scripture next in the heart okay good stuff when data Chima from now this life and future life yeah good now we're gonna have an opportunity to make $100 and Gibson gets to try and a certain person whose name is word has a chance and everybody else and now I was at a talk by a very famous teacher and and the I was jealous of the translator which is common with me and they finally made one big mistake I was so happy which probably send me to the hell realms but they misunderstood 10 down here and it's not the normal tender what is it for a hundred dollars Gibson okay Emily you can whisper to him he could take out the dinner also danger if this happened then let's happen no if can I open it up to other guys yes okay that's gonna make you more money in the future don't you it doesn't mean interdependence yeah it does not mean dependent origination this is not doesn't it mean make a connection no doesn't it just depend depends upon no okay cancel the bad yeah I love it gender D is a special expression it only occurs with llamas and meeting your llama that's what I was talking about guessula make no literally sounded like Spanish to me okay so what's it mean now Nick it means what word was saying connecting with your llamas this is means get off to a good start Oh get off to us learning that but I'm sure we did and what's the by the way they can also say dendel short which means you blew it okay there's a there's a couple of famous stories of people who dendel short Milarepa what was the story his llama empty copper pot yeah how did he make up for it by the way who's this llama my heart I think okay correct me if I'm wrong maybe I'm wrong I think my father him a cup of beer yeah and he downed it in one hoop chick yeah and he hesitated because he you know he's a monger and he but then he decided well my teacher told me to do it so I'll do it and he drank it and then he fixed his tendo okay so that this tender dick does has nothing to do with dependent origination it just means to get off to an auspicious start with your with your llama who is the root of every good thing that could ever happen jeanne she jeanne she means which could ever happen okay they are the root of every good thing that could happen yay okay keep going what's their job of your teacher Rangla long-term Gibson teach me the path good show me he's a gay wishing it he is a virtuous spiritual friend good guess a guess a dump a ship check you should understand that this that the very root for getting off to a good start in your Buddhist practice is to find a qualified teacher okay yeah once you find them you better use Beppa Draco fierce effort yeah okay what's that famous for things that start with Pierce for fears for $50 or modes of a llama he's a long drop she gave one word got the $50 yeah she gave Gibson what's a she gay one duck while we're on the subject of llamas she's like a generosity peaceful peaceful smiley smiley yeah and the second one is a generosity yeah they like to give away money one one showing your power they can't be powerful and if they need to they won't talk to you they'll be wrathful yeah hit you on the head okay good you're lucky you this class is online all right and we have to try to cock the low where we talk again in our number go backwards we have to come alone where we go again in our number we have to avoid to see the photo of your llama mm-hmm but the word is not see here God imagine well yeah good good it's talk without an ass it's talk without an ass and we talked about it in in Adams text yeah so

mind and you have to try to get your tepa you have to develop your face yeah means as much as you can and that's what it means to temper to rely on yeah good to rely on your teacher in your samba in your mind yeah and that's a implies that after that we're gonna learn how to rely on your teacher in your alright Nick this one was meant for you so let's go read slow enjoy make a few mistakes that Amelie can poke dad yeah okay um I want to go straight to the meat of this and I'm gonna I'd like Gibson to work it out what's do you know what nipa means nipa at the last line disparage no it means to make somebody happy okay it means to make somebody happy and in this case you're gonna make your teacher happy with a chipper with offering yeah and the offering for a hundred for three hundred dollars kiss don't blow it you got your boss $300 the highest offering you can make to your teacher is car shin drooper is to establish as their car as the Buddha's this is the God of Lama oh okay I slam it oh yeah so what's the highest I'm still giving you $2.99 okay because it's such a beautiful thing what's the highest offering you can make to your teacher do the do the practice that Lama told you yeah perfect perfect yeah just please do what they say yeah that's a essence so 299 you can still go to 101 and have a nice dinner I think you should Drupal this Lama Nipa what's that mean and Drupal here you should practice practice you should practice to make Lama happy good and gota dog means in every possible way it means through every possible door okay and you should never Drupal money but you shouldn't make make them upset yeah of course they can never get upset but okay my name by num young means never my is my Lama used to say never ever never ever never ever upset your Lama disappoint them okay core them with your loo with your with your body yeah it means like express your respect with your body okay that could mean driving to the grocery store for them okay and knock it or with your with your speech yeah Dupa means praise them okay so speak well of them especially to other people and honor them with your with the actions of your body okay and cheese soon caution to do try to droop cheese so try to practice what Lama told you yeah good as they asked you to caution okay okay and with this kind of this drawer what doesn't mean prepare like Joram it doesn't mean application yeah practical application practical things you can do sushin to temple you rely on then this is the way you rely on your line yeah and $10 through anybody as the mom room says why is it rude because he didn't meet her yeah he needed some beats okay and he should have said Denver he should have said Denver but he needed three beats 10 bars only two beats so it's legal in poetry to split up split off the art and so it just means to to rely to rely Denver to rely and he split off the are because he needed an extra beat in his life okay what's the rock led by you guys to if once you see that your success depends on properly serving your Lama once you see that you should never don't that Lama never give up your Lama even for your soul even give your life yeah even at the cost of your life much less for some small reason okay can chung chay means much less for some small reason okay somebody you know criticizes them online or something you give them up it rather it should be that you wouldn't give them up even if someone said I'll kill you if you don't come up right now okay so okay much less for some other small for a very small reason all right who's up here by the way does this mean you cannot criticize your teacher we would never yes no but I mean it doesn't mean that if your teacher tells you to do something bad you

[Speaker 2]
should do it respectfully ask a question of them about what it is you

[Speaker 1]
thought you heard yeah this doesn't mean that you should just do anything your teacher said without checking and Tsongkhapa has a beautiful few pages about this question and he says when he talks about interpretation Changi he says the highest form of following your Lama is to interpret what they really mean okay the highest form of obeying your Lama is to logically interpret what they really want you to do okay and and that's that's how he opens his tongue a lecture nimble okay wow it's beautiful it is very beautiful yeah okay the highest form of obedience to your teacher is to think okay okay here we go who's gonna check you so gay every time you go to Bali you get a haircut I don't know you guys get the Singapore Bali haircut I'm in Surabaya now yeah the haircut does look a little more business that's for vacation sort of bias for business okay okay they do to do you do to do you do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to do to Let's go see what it means. DE'I GZUGS DU means, after he gives us this advice about relating to our teacher properly, he says, NYANG SBYOR NGES KYANG, what's that mean, Gibson?

Okay, me as a practitioner. Yeah, me the practitioner. NYAM LEN DE LTAR BYED This is how I practice.

This is how I practiced. Okay, Ched. Okay, and all of you who TANG DOD.

All of you who want to get the liberation. You should TZEL LO. KYANG TZEL LO.

This TZEL means, you should seek to, or you should try to. TZEL means try to. KYANG means, okay, how to conduct your practice.

What's KYANG KUNG for $50? Disparaging yourself slightly to be humble. KYANG KUNG.

Oh, stretched and, yes, extended. Yes, $25 for nick and $25 for word, okay. What context is it in?

Savasriyogini. Yeah, how she stands. Yeah, some of her limbs are stretched out and some of her limbs are bent.

So KYANG can mean stretch out a limb, which means practice. Assert yourself, do something, okay. It's a very beautiful crossover, okay.

Okay, now... So, this KYANG TZEL is to seek the practice? Yeah, you guys should try to do the same.

You guys should try to do the same. Okay, so this is how me, the great yogi, practice, and you never hear Tsongkhapa refer to himself as a good person or a big person, never. This is the one time in thousands of pages that he says, look, I really mastered this and if you want to get to freedom, you better do the same.

You better try to do the same. And it's extremely rare that he says anything about his own practice. And Geshe-la, why Tsongkhapa refers himself especially to the yogini, like a Nyangdra.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, I said yogini.

[Speaker 1]
Is there a reference that Mixed-Nuts translate in this term that he grew his mind to the emptiness? Yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly. But it also means he's joining the left and right channels in the central channel.

Okay. So this is a very, very high yogi. You know, I don't know how you're going to translate it.

Good luck. Sometimes I'm glad you guys are translating because I don't have to make this decision. Oh, yeah, okay.

Okay, now, this version, there's two versions of these two lines. There's two versions of these two lines. So it's very important.

Okay, this is the version that we find in Sung Torbu, Nick or Ben. Expanded works or scattered works. Yeah, of course.

Yeah, people translate it as miscellaneous works of a famous lama. So they will write some 500-page books and then they'll write some little poems like this one. And they throw all the little things into one volume, usually.

And that's called Sung Torbu. That means people translate it as miscellaneous. But I think some of the most important works are those little ones.

So you could say collected briefer works or something like that. In his collected briefer works, inside of his sungbum, which means the collection of all his writing, this is how the lines read. And that is the sungmu of the jade.

This is direct speaking from Je Tsongkapa? Yeah, that's what he really said. That's what he really said.

What's the Mayangak gives him? Oh, this version. That's what he must say.

Yeah, which somebody else said he said. This is the version he really said. I am a yogi.

This is what I did to become a yogi. If you guys want to get to nirvana and buddhahood, I suggest you do the same. I suggest you try to do the same.

Unfortunately, he says try. Now, that's the real statement by Je Tsongkapa. We have three minutes, Nick.

We have three minutes, sir. Okay, good. I think we can do it.

And I went and got it for you. So here's the actual page number where he first said it. Where he first said it.

Now, you're going to read gifts and I'm going to check you because we got to speed up.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
Don't make any mistakes. Okay. nam me nyam len de ta tse tang du ta kyang de shing kyang tsa lo she jung wa ni chi shen gyi gyu war te tung go la shing chi ma shen la'ang jok Okay, good.

CHOS SBYOS is a special... it means to add dharma activity. But you guys should know, and I think it may be a new word for you, these are chanting manuals in the monastery.

So, if you see videos of people doing prayers for people who passed away, for example, you can see they're reciting from some book. So, this is a book of prayers. It's a prayer book that the monks use during their morning prayers.

It's called a SPYOD SPYOD. So, it means a prayer book which is specific... They are always specific to each drata, to each division of a monastery.

They all have their own SPYOD SPYOD. Like, Sterame has a SPYOD SPYOD. Sergei has a SPYOD SPYOD.

Okay, SPYOD SPYOD LAS. Now, the version in the prayer book says, je tsen lam me nyam len de ta tse This is how the holy lamas practiced. tar ne dak yang de shing kyang tsa la Those of us who are seeking liberation, we hope to do the same.

We hope to do the same. So, jungwa ni This version of this prayer, which is often recited in the monastery in the morning, this particular text, Lam Rim did in the Spiritual Song of Tsongkhapa, it is often recited in the morning. And they will say it this way, Oh, the lamas did it that way.

I hope to do the same. chi shen gyi gyurwa Somebody later changed the words. It was supposed to say, I'm the yogi.

I did it like this. You guys should try to do the same. Somebody changed it to, Oh, the holy lamas did it this way.

Let's try to do it the same. Why did they change it? tun ko lawa What's that mean, you guys?

It was easier to understand. It was easier to understand. People don't have to wonder who's the yogi.

chi ma shen lang gyurwa means It fit the context of later times when there was big monasteries, thousands of monks reciting together. It's kind of weird for five-year-olds, 10-year-olds to be reciting, I'm the yogi. That's what I do.

That's what you guys should do. chi ma means in later generations. It kind of made more sense to say, my lamas have done this.

I hope to do the same. Rather than, I'm the great yogi. You should do what I do.

The wording was shifted. I pulled one. I gave you Sera May's chit chat.

We input it a long time ago. From the prayer book of Sera May, it says, Jetsun Lama, here's the first time it's mentioned. Cool.

So that's going to be a nice footnote. All right. That's it for the...

Oh, thank you Geshe-la. Thank you very much. May I translate the following three paragraphs next time?

Yeah, let me just check it.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
I want you to do 78, 79, and 80, if you don't mind. Okay, thank you. 79, 80.

Okay, good. Nick, did you have something? Just a big thank you to the interpreters, as usual, and the tech team, and Geshe Michael and Gibson again, and all the translators and everybody.

We have yoga coming up with Aisha. So if you want to do some yoga, that should be a fun class. Stick around on this link.

And then we have a Q&A. We have another yoga class again at four. And we have a Q&A at 5.30 with Master Sugong. So please try to make it all enjoyable. And let's hear the yoga. Who's teaching yoga at four?

That would be a new teacher for you. I'm trying to scroll my schedule. It's Lea Krager.

She's been joining these Mixed Nuts. Classes for years now. And she agreed to teach us a yoga class at four.

So thank you, Lea. And... Is that an easy class or a hard class, Nick?

I need to know. She said it would be the hardest class that anyone has ever experienced, ever. No, I'm just joking.

I've told everybody to do a nice intermediate level class that could be accessible for everyone. And I'm sure she will adhere to that. So please come.

That's at four on the same link. Hey, Seiji, welcome home. Welcome back home.

Thank you. I took him to Peru and I think I gave you COVID. But now he's okay.

Glad to hear you're all better, Seiji. Okay, see you guys tonight.

[Speaker 2]
Thank you.
