Гибсон Чан — Книга 1: Песнь моей духовной жизни (шаги пути), занятие 17

[Speaker 2]
Okay, is Professor Nick here yet? Hello? No.

[Speaker 1]
All right, well, me and Gibson are going to start. Okay. Yeah, go for it.

Sorry, again, I am here. I just was having trouble unmuting. Oh, that's okay.

Anything for us or we just start? No, let's just start. I got some stuff for later.

Okay, good.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
If I fall asleep, just yell, okay, Nick? All right. All right.

So for the first question, last time we talked about the perfection of ethical way to apply and perfection of not getting angry. The first question is, what are the three kinds of ethical way to apply in the long-range analysis? And in this pack, which kind of ethical way to apply is Jason Gaba mainly focused on?

What is the first one?

[Speaker 2]
Oh, not perfect enough.

[Speaker 1]
Yes. Yes. So each one, I will give the title, Refrain Yourself from Hurting Others, and this is the Chinese.

Yeah. And this is mainly the Minaya morality focused on. So I'll give the example of trying not to steal from other people.

So what is the second one? That is related to Bodhisattva morality. Collect good deeds, doing good stuff.

Yeah. So does anyone remember the Tibetan? Ge wa chu su du?

Almost correct. Almost correct. Ge wa chu du.

Yeah. So ge wa chu du.

[Speaker 2]
Nice. I think that's what Oscar said.

[Speaker 1]
Okay. So Bodhisattva morality is more focused on giving. And you are trying to build more house for people who don't have a place to live.

This is the example. So what is the third one? Work for all living beings.

Correct. So Tibetan? Sem chen dun che.

Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Nice.

[Speaker 1]
Yay, Rivas. Yeah. So Chinese is lao yi you qing zhi.

Lao yi you qing zhi. Yeah. That's a great question.

Repeat the question for your audience. So Stanley's question is what's the difference between number two and number three? So does anyone have the answer?

The motivation, I think, right? Yes, I think so. The second one, we called it Bodhisattva morality, but I feel like it's traditionally it's just taught us the morality of doing good deeds, right?

Yeah. So what is the third one focused on? They try to increase.

Getting enlightened for the sake of all beings. Yeah. The third one can be enlightenment.

The second one can still just be samsaric, actually. Yeah. Okay.

So number three has Bodhicitta, basically, that's motivation. Stanley's question is, can you hear that? No.

Can you guys hear it? Okay. So Stanley's question is that number three has Bodhicitta, right?

Yeah. Motivation. Not necessarily Bodhicitta.

Motivation. Yeah, motivation. Okay.

So the number two, what are the three benefits of keeping the ethical way of life? Number one. You're like a moon that cools.

Yeah. Yes. And I guess I say your life will be more happier.

Yeah. That's what I was going to say. Yeah.

So second one. You reach nirvana. You look better.

[Speaker 2]
I look happier.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. Yeah. You're like the king of the...

You stand out. You stand out.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
You stand out. Like Queen Elizabeth. Is there any another Tibetan for outshine?

[Speaker 2]
Sokinumba.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. Sichi means brilliance. Yeah.

You can say Siji or Sokinumba. Okay. What is the third one?

People don't want to first. Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
This is the first one.

[Speaker 1]
And the second one? The second one? Yeah.

They have two parts.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Two parts. Trick question. They respect you?

They will respect and bow down to you. All good selling points. Will they still tailgate you?

Yes. Very respectfully. Yeah.

Okay. Third question. In Long Ring tradition, there are three kinds of patience.

What are they? Patience to overcome the obstacles on the path. Yeah.

Patience to do general don't get upset. Yes. Geshe-la gave the example after the party.

The party? Yeah. Sleeping.

I got like sick.

[Speaker 2]
Can you repeat? We can't hear what's being said in the room.

[Speaker 1]
Okay. The first one is taking the pen unwilling. All right.

So yeah. So when you got the hard job, instead of whining about it or being grumpy, you choose to take it happily and enjoy doing the hard work. So this is what the hustle answer.

The wheel of life turned back on me. What is the second one? Walk away.

Just ignore them. Yeah. Yeah.

The number one is koo xin ren. Number two, yuan hen xin. Don't worry about it when someone hurts you.

[Speaker 2]
Cool.

[Speaker 1]
Very true. So is someone trying to hurt you? What a genius advice from a teacher based on his 70 years of experience.

Three words.

[Speaker 2]
Forget their name.

[Speaker 1]
I've been trying to remember it since yesterday. Just walk away. Okay.

By the way, I have a good friend. Not a friend of mine. Can I say who it is?

No. They were in a bar, which means they're not a good friend of mine. But this week, and some guy said something to his wife and he got a big fine.

And then today I was thinking that he should have come to class. He got a very bad fine in the bar. It implies that.

Anyway, it means just walk away. So what is this third one? Patience to study.

For investing your time in dharma. Yes, correct. Just sitting here.

Yeah, especially the next class. Yeah. The Chinese translation is very interesting.

It said the patient of the deep dharma. So you see through the series of next class. Say the characters.

I saw fa, but I don't know the other one. Same father. Yeah.

And I think the great example is a story. He's sitting in a cave for 12 years and not quitting. I think this is great.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
And Tibetan vocabulary. Dunwa.

[Speaker 2]
Portrait.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. And last time, I guess I say gears. We not usual word.

And I check the scan is here. I thought it was carry a load. Yeah, but you have a big.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, good.

Or in this case, carry on those home and make thin as a beautiful ornament. What is the Denver? Why?

The one giving the presentation. It's probably BYA.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
No, guess what? It's BA member. We talked about it.

And I was like, that was weird. And you're like, yep, it's legal, though. Barely.

Oh, it was temporary, right? No. I thought that was 10 power.

But yeah, you must be right. Temporary. I looked it up.

Anyway. Okay. Is it presenter?

Directly spoken. Directly spoken. The bell refers you.

Yeah. That's okay. Take away the hype.

This impossible.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
Okay. Here is my. Translation.

That's the time we talk about. The fire of negative emotion. Torment by fire of negative emotions.

How come my screen didn't go? Oh, then. There you go.

Okay, good. And the antidote to it is the difficult spiritual practice. And so here is my.

I start from here. Okay. Here is my.

Translation. So I will. I will say the Tibetan.

And here is missing. So I check this again. You can.

I'm sorry. Okay. Okay.

It's going to be like that today. Okay. Sorry.

Okay. Got two means what? Difficult spiritual practice.

Good. Cool means what? Offering.

Yeah. But. So Kappa uses pull in an unusual way.

And so your author, which is Choney Lung, right?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
He gives you an a positive. It means he tells you what it means in the next line. In the next word.

Yeah. They means, hey, you don't know what pool means here. I'll tell you.

It means choke. Oh. Okay.

So put the choke means cool means choke here. Choney Lung is helping you out because he knows it means to offer. And it doesn't make any sense here.

But it's called the Juma.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
Which means the better. So now, what does it mean? The hard, difficult spiritual practice is offering, which is the best that you can.

Which one is what? What's the highest spiritual? What's the best kind of tapas?

Yeah. Not getting upset when someone's being, anyway. When someone's being difficult.

Yeah. Okay. And then to be pleasant, smile, be happy.

You know, don't get upset. That's the highest. But what's the spiritual difficult practice, which is not pull the choke here.

What's the classic example? Of kathu. Of stupid kathu.

Yeah. Keeping your hand up for two years. Or sitting in the middle of five fires.

Stuff like that. Okay. Let's read this one.

I have already read this one. Oh, sorry. All right.

I like Lung Do. Lung Do. There's a heavy pre-nasal there.

Yeah. The walking hand. Bodjangasana, like bodjika, goes on its body like a snake.

It's bodjanga. Bodjanga, right? Yeah.

The one whose body goes on its arm. Yeah, the one who walks on the palm of their hand. Something like that?

Okay. It's a snake. It's an old word for a snake.

So, and by the way, again, he uses te. Again, he uses te to give you a synonym. Okay.

And the synonym is misspelled. Yay! It should be S-B.

S-B. Drul means to emanate, right? And this is a very common mistyping.

Because the carving is difficult. Because it's tiny. So, drul.

You should put the drul right after drul. So, people know. Yay!

Okay, good. Oh, wow. Siddhang langdo ne drul gyi sumar chepar.

Did you see all the typo I missed? I found it. Oh, wow.

Oh, okay, good. Okay, good. Oh.

[Speaker 2]
What's your correction there after gyi? Because that's what appears in the text I have. Oh, par.

Yeah, par is par. Okay, got it. You would just make your correction then after the par.

[Speaker 1]
You mean this one? Because originally it's a gyi lu. Then I found the text again is a gyi chunpar chepar.

It's missing the chunpar chepar.

[Speaker 2]
In the version Geshe-la sent out, it's just straight.

[Speaker 1]
Okay. Yeah, don't worry about it. We'll be okay.

Are you sure about this correction? That's my thing. But it's okay.

If it's correct, okay. Shengdang langdo, he's comparing anger to a snake, which is typical because it's represents in the middle of real life. Chunpar chepar means...

What does it mean, you guys? Chunpar chepar. A snake as an example or a metaphor?

Representing, yeah, as a metaphor. Okay, so here chun means... By the way, it can even mean weapon.

Like chunchak karlo means...

[Speaker 2]
Real life.

[Speaker 1]
Chun has a lot of meaning. Here it means the snake is representing anger. And I'm not sure about the next word, but if it's correct, it means, look, lus have a lot of dras.

Dragon have a lot of enemies. Yeah, or nagas. Nagas have a lot of enemies.

I guess what he's saying is that the... Yeah, I don't know. Anyway, something's messed up with the Tibetan.

But anyway, snakes have a lot of enemies. And even though they have a lot of enemies, the worst one is nam khak ding.

[Speaker 2]
Garuda.

[Speaker 1]
The Garuda bird. Really? Oh, kyong shinpa.

Wow. Because I thought kyong means the... Yeah, okay.

Oh, there's a lot of mistakes here. Jak kyong is an old word for Garuda, okay? So I don't know.

Anyway, what it means is, in my three-year retreat, I've always heard that eagles like to eat snakes, rattlesnakes, and they grab them from the back of the neck, and they just pick them up and they fly away like on the Mexican flag. And I saw it in my three-year retreat, and it's scary. The snake is like two meters long, and the eagle just comes down and grabs them behind the neck, and they can't move.

And they take off and they fly. And they eat them as they fly. And it was terrible to watch.

These snakes were very frightening to us, and it was cool. Anyway, I mean, bad. Nam khanh ding so, a Garuda bird is picking up the snake, right?

Okay. So what it means is, patience is the Garuda for the snake of anger, upset, getting upset. He wipes them out.

Yeah, I think kyun, if it's correct, it means defeats. Okay? Okay, please read the next line.

pa ru kyi chi chu kyi tsum pen pa la de mi This one, I'll check this again. pix de san we ko cha pa da bu yin no Yeah, the corrections are correct, which makes me wonder about the rest of the book. And these are major corrections.

So anyway, now tsun is used in its other sense, like tsun chu kor lo. Now it's a weapon. Now it's used as a weapon, okay?

And by the way, tsun means any bladed weapon, any weapon that has a blade, like a knife, a sword, a dagger. Okay, what's pa ru mean? Oh, for you?

Yeah, from the other guy, by the other guy, okay? Like pa ru kyi sik tu. Ah, sure, from the other guy.

Yeah, they call you idiot or something. That's called sik tu, okay? Tsun pen pa means to use a weapon on you, to use it on you, okay?

It literally means to throw. You know le pen pa? Karma that's thrown from across life?

Yeah, hen je kyi le, hen je kyi le, like shooting karma, right? So if someone attacks you with a weapon, it is a very strong go cha. Armor.

Yeah, and cha is another name for armor. So you can call it go cha or you can call it cha. Sanskrit is varma, I think, okay?

And sawa, do you guys know sawa? It means rock hard, okay? It's part of the definition of what, Nick?

Solidity. Yeah, solidity is a saw shing... What is that word?

Rek pa, saw shing rek pa, right? Rek pa, Nick. Anyway, very solid armor, okay?

When somebody picks you, not me, and this correction is correct, what's the secret name for Mount Meru? Bikshu. Bikshay?

Bikshay, which means the poker, because it pokes this guy. We had a debate about it one night against Gandhi and Mahasaya. We wiped them out.

Anyway, so peak is another form of that, and it means somebody is peaking you with a chun. With a brad. Yeah, someone like sticks a sword into you, sticks a knife into you.

They try to stick you, but it's body armor. Patience is body armor, okay? Cool?

Doesn't help. Should I get another... I mean, I know this is a short text, but should I get another version input?

Yeah, yeah, because this is frightening. This is really bad. Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Is that the skin we used for the input?

[Speaker 1]
I think this is a handwritten text, which is normally very dangerous, but it's so hard to read. Yeah, shouldn't be hard to find. I'm using the Mongolian handwriting, I can tell that.

Okay, I got the other program. All right, here we go. Wait, you're trying to get out of that first line there.

Go back. Are you going to read it? Yeah, you read it.

Yeah, I will read it, and then that's what we got. nipa de gongpa ni, de thar shen ne sok te What is this part two? Part two, how to do the practice of not getting angry.

Exactly. So we always have, with each perfection, you have two parts, right? Number one, he tells you how cool it is.

It destroys the snake of anger, etc., etc. And then he says how to do it. Now, the verb for staying patient in Tibetan is?

gong gong, okay. sepa gong, say sepa gong. Sepa gong.

Okay, so the word meditation is the verbalizer for staying patient. It's very interesting, sepa gong. You want to hear a nasty story?

Yes. Everybody's nodding. So there was a yogi on the side of the road in Tibet, and they stay there, by the way, and they have a begging bowl, and they usually have a little bit too much to drink.

He's sitting on the side of the road, and he's got his eyes closed, and somebody walks by, and he says, I'm going to have fun with this guy. And he says, hey, what's you up to? And he says, sepa gong, which means what?

Practicing patience.

[Speaker 2]
Practicing my patience.

[Speaker 1]
Meditating on patience. I am deep in the practice of patience. And then the other guy says, hey, jakpa so, which means eat something.

And then the guy jumped up and started trying to hit him, and he said, well, I guess your sepa gong's not too good, huh? It's a sepa gong joke, okay? I didn't make it up.

And Tibetans think these jokes are really funny. All right. And de na she ne is the first line of the verse that talks about sepa gong.

All right, let's go to the next one. Come on. Vivian?

Vivian Wong? Can you read it? No?

Why don't you scroll up? Okay. Oscar?

Good. So the subject of the sentence is dhamma.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
And it means people. So what does it mean here? It means holy people, or good people.

When did they live? Ngun. People.

Yeah. Great practitioners of the past, okay? They understand sul deta shek.

The system of not getting angry. How not getting angry. Yeah, and they understand how cool it is.

Okay, sul deta shek ne. So they have sepa chok. They have supreme patience.

Yeah, and this is that case where the word for the best of something has to come after the other word. It's very unusual. Only the words in Tibetan for the best of something have to come afterwards.

So what's the famous example?

[Speaker 2]
Chok.

[Speaker 1]
I want the real application. Oh, lam tso. Lam tso nam sum?

Yeah, lam tso nam sum. Lam tso nam sum. The three principal pasts.

Spelled P-A-L or P-L-E? P-A-L. P-A-L.

P-A-L. And many, many Finnish translators have made that mistake. Okay.

So these holy people from the past, understanding how cool patience is, they put on the gocha. Yeah, and they comb it with many different tups. They get used to different methods.

Yeah, they get used to wearing it with many different tups. Tup can trigger. The word tup can trigger another thought, another related concept.

What is it? Tup k? Tup k.

Yeah, tup k meaning skillful means, unexpected means. If you want to help a person develop their patience, tell them to eat. All right?

If the person speaking was a true, a high master, then that's tup k. They're trying to teach this person something, okay? We never know the people who say bad things to us.

We never know what level they're at, right? Here it says... So by the way, when you see the word tup here, if you're a Tibetan, you're feeling a little tup k-ish.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
You're feeling a little skillful mean-ish, okay? That's something you have to consider as a translator. When you say tup in a scripture, a real Tibetan monk reading it is getting a little taste of tup k in there.

And you have to address that taste if you're a good translator, okay? So it's not that they use many ways to wear this armor. It's that they could be doing sneaky things too with this armor.

And there has to be that flavor in the translation. It's very subtle, okay? How is a Tibetan going to take that sentence?

It's how you have to translate it. And it's very deep, okay? He didn't use this word lightly, okay?

It has deeper meaning, okay? All right. Natsotsuki, they get used to their in their gyuk.

In their mind stream. In their mind. Yeah, in their mind.

So why didn't he say sem? Here's another example. Why didn't he say they get used to patience in their mind?

He said, they get used to patience in their gyuk. Which is a word for mind. And it's what?

Santana. Nobody got that joke. Why did he use gyuk here instead of sem?

And I'm trying to get you sensitive to the Tibetan. We got Choney Lama here. We got some company here.

It represents a flow from life to life? Yeah, it's a flow meaning. It's easy to keep patience in two minutes.

How about two hours? How about 20 hours? How about 20 years with some irritable person?

So he doesn't use the word mind. He uses the word stream. Because patience is a thing that takes time, okay?

And it's repeated over and over with the same people, right? Om, okay? You got to be sensitive to that as a translator.

And you have to reflect it in the English. Good luck. Okay.

You should be doing that. What's the term mean? And by the way, why is he using zepa for us?

He's saying, do it like that. Yeah, like who?

[Speaker 2]
Those holy beings.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, like those holy ones in the past. Yeah, so when you see Zay, it should trigger something in your mind. Why is he using honorific?

He's not just telling me to do something. He must be referring to those people of the past. He's still talking about those guys.

And we should ja like them. Yeah, and by the way, if Zay is honorific, what's the non-honorific? Zay, cha, okay.

Got it? Is there an honorific imperative? Well, now he's, yeah, it's zepa, by the way.

And unfortunately, it's the same as kosha. But there's a statement here. He says, you schmucks should do like they performed.

Got it? Yeah. He's juxtaposing.

He's putting Zay next to ja to make sure you know your place. Okay. They did it.

They could stay patient with someone for 20 years. You, 20 minutes, you can't do ja. They did it for 20 years.

You ja for 20 minutes. You got it? There's all this stuff going on.

All right, next one. Yeah, I only translated here. Oh, okay, good.

All right, good. Thank you. And I like the Italian.

All right, let's get back to work. Oh, I hope I go right back. I'm always afraid you're going to see my emails and stuff.

People, all of my patient practices. Is this where we are? Yeah, from Zipa.

Okay, why don't you read one or two, and then we'll go to somebody else. Okay, I will do it. Okay, good.

Zipa. Okay, so the fourth one is the joyful effort after the same structure, which is one is selling point to sell you the benefit of it. And the second one is how to do the practice.

Right. So the first one, the selling point have a three point. Yeah, so the first one, I start with the mindok tenpei, with the four lines.

Nice, nice, perfect. Okay, good. Yep, okay.

I'm going to skip the root text. And by the way, we put a correction here, but they are the same pronunciation, both heavy prenasal. Mindok, mindok, and dok, okay?

ZL and LD, you should learn. ZL, LD, apostrophe D, MD, all prenasal on D, same sound. Four things, same sound.

Okay, okay, good. Okay, here we go. One more from E.

Gibson. TSO BA GO BYED CHUN ZHUGS KYIS DBANG THU BYED NA, PHYIN MI'I RDOG BYING LDAN PA'I CHUN ZHUGS KYIS GO BYA DGOS NA, RUNG THAMS SDOG PA'I YUN LDAN THAMS CHE, NGA'A MNGO'I LTA BA ZHING GONG TU LHAG LA Nice. TSO BA means what?

The man and chief one. Yeah, there's lots of kinds of joyful effort, but here's the one we're going to focus on is called GO BYED CHUN ZHUGS. The arm of the joyful effort.

Yeah, joyful effort of armor. Yeah. Okay.

WANG TU CHE MA If we are going to discuss this one. Nice, perfect. It's an idiom, right?

Not an idiom, idiom, yeah. Yeah, about the main one that we want to talk about here. CHUN MI'I RDOG In order to not get him backward, or?

This CHIR means back. Oh, back. Okay, this CHIR means back, B-A-C-K, okay?

It does not mean therefore or anything like, okay? It just means don't turn back. Don't turn back.

MI'I RDOG means turn. So CHIR MI'I RDOG means don't turn back, unstoppable. You can say unstoppable.

Very tenpa. Firm. Nice.

CHUN ZHUGS Joyful effort. If you're good at gochar. If you wear, put on this armor.

Nice. All of your yuntas. All of your good quality.

Whether they are lung skills or dopa skills. Whether it's a skill of the learning or skill of the realization. Yeah, whether it's actual practice or whether it's book learning, okay?

All of them are going to power. Increase. Nice.

Like a yarmul dawa. Like a waxing moon. Yeah, Tibetan dates from what to what?

One to 14? One to 15? Yeah.

One to 15, yeah, good. Okay, that's called the waxing moon. Yarmul.

What's the opposite? Marngu. Marngu, which means from the, I guess, the evening of the 15th to the morning of the first.

Okay, so it means they'll get better and better and better, okay? If you have this kind of persistent kind of effort, then all your good qualities are going to constantly increase for the rest of your life. And if you do that for 40, 50, 60 years, weird stuff happens.

Cool weird stuff happens, okay? How do we change the kongdu? Higher and higher.

Okay, increase that. Yeah, higher, yeah, good. Sometimes they say kongmei kongdu, higher and higher.

Kongmei kongdu. Okay, all right, good. Do this one and then we'll start picking on people.

Okay. chelam tam che la tsongpa tunthang denpa gyu shing ranggi kyalwa kang dzangpe le kyi pa nang yi la sangpa shindu drupak gyu lo Good. By the way, here's the present tense of the verb tsongpa, and here's the past tense of the verb.

So, chelam tam che. Every activity. Yeah, everything you ever try to do.

Okay, tsongpa. Compose or starting. Yeah, and sometimes tsongpa means undertake.

Oh, undertake. Okay, undertake an action. So, that's meant to be any action you do.

This is when you start a project, okay? chelam tsongpa. When you start a project, it's going to always have done.

Always have a meaning. Yeah, the whole time that you are starting a project and working on a project, it will be meaningful. And then, ranggi kyalwa kang tsam, when you have done the project, okay, which you are undertaking, you will reach the lekita.

Infinitive comma. Good comment. This lekita means you will come to the end of the task.

Oh. Okay, all the outcomes will be what you want. Lekita means the final end of the action.

Okay, all the actions, all the outcomes will be nyi la tsampa shing. Nyi la tsampa. Just what you tsampa in your yi.

Just what you tsampa in your mind. Yeah, everything you were dreaming of will come out that way, shindu. Wow.

So he's talking about while you're doing a project, everything will feel very meaningful to you, like the New Year's project. And then afterwards, you can look back and say, wow, that worked out pretty good. If you do it with effort, if you don't give up, if you don't get impatient, if you do it, you got...

There's a joke in the Mongolians. They say the only people who don't get obstacles with their projects is the people who never do projects. So what does it here mean?

Is they will always finish what they start? No? Yeah, yeah.

Well, two things. During the project, if you keep to your persistence, it means persistence, okay? If you don't give up.

Oh, like discipline or like... Well, it just means if something goes wrong, you don't quit, okay? So while you're on the project, if things go wrong, you don't freak out.

And then when you reach the end of the project, everything will come out the way you wanted. That's all. Two parts.

If you wear the armor of persistence, it means joyful effort. There's also a thing here of joyful, right? And there's a big, big emphasis here.

If I was going to write this commentary, I would put a paragraph about having fun. As a 70-year-old, I could tell you two things, right? Someone hassles you, just walk away.

Number two, don't do anything unless you can have fun. Okay, don't do a single thing in your life unless you can have fun doing it, okay? I was at the doctor.

She was poking me all over. I was having fun with her, you know? I mean, anywhere you should be having fun.

Oh, you should see where they put things. Okay. I'm just saying, if you're a real Buddhist, you should be having fun.

Because, God, life is so short. Don't do something if you can't have fun. Then quit and go do something you can have fun.

By the way, you can have fun at anything. If you can get poked there and have fun. I was joking with her, you know?

And she actually asked me, do you meditate? And I said, why do you ask me that? And she said, I never had anyone have fun during this procedure.

She asked me, it was very funny. That was like a week ago. She asked, she asked, yeah.

And yeah, we had a good time. Okay, who are you going to pick on? Sunam.

Maybe Sunam.

[Speaker 2]
Sunam. Oh, Sunam Chakraborty.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, I saw three. We heard you had a member.

[Speaker 2]
Sunam Chakraborty just left.

[Speaker 1]
Oh, Kajin, Kajin. Oh. Oh.

Yeah. She'll be in the next one. Jet lag's really good for your Tibetan.

Somebody's got it there.

[Speaker 2]
Mariana? Mariana. Sorry, I can't see the screen.

[Speaker 1]
Hang on. Be patient with grandpa.

[Speaker 2]
He's trying to make it accessible.

[Speaker 1]
We're a little slower. Um. Okay, good.

Please, you got the plane. If gong is the verbalizer for supa, then song is the verbalizer for tsundu. Okay.

Okay. So, what's it moving here? So, how to do the practice of the joyful effort.

[Speaker 2]
Good, yeah.

[Speaker 1]
And the line will start with the deta chenna. Good, yeah. So, when you see tsong, and they're talking about the fourth potential, it's the verb we always use with supa.

Tsundu. Sorry, effort. Virnya.

Would this be the verb for try? Like, to try? Uh, no, it's just a common, it's like supa gong.

I mean, the gong has, the gong has secondary feeling, meanings that you should reflect in your translation. And so does tsong. So does the tsong.

And the tsong means kick, kick it in. What do you say? It has to kick in.

Your tsundu has to kick in. Tsong means to undertake or to start something. It also means to compose a symphony, for example.

So, when you finally make up your mind to work with joy and have fun, then you are, so, then you're really kicking in. Your joyful effort is kicking in. It's really starting.

All right, who is, who are you picking on next, Gibson? Uh, Seiji. Ooh, that's fun.

All right. Hey, Gibson. Hey, Seiji.

Okay. Oh, cool, cool. I think there's a mistake here.

This text is rude, man. Yeah, I got, my partner here is agreeing with me. It's this one, right?

Yes. All right. After you know the benefit of joy forever.

Nice. GK Sherpa means which I have. Which I have explained before.

Yeah, which I have described to you just now. Once you know that, you better watch out for lelo. You better watch out for your laziness.

Yeah, and one of the functions of lelo is qi shu. Qi shu. It's a very unusual word, and it means to put things off until later.

Yeah, procrastinate. Procrastination. Procrastinate, yeah.

I just took down the Christmas tree lights this morning. Because I couldn't fight with Pabla's text anymore. Anyway, it means just putting things off.

[Speaker 2]
I'm sorry, what was the function of lelo? What word were you pointing to?

[Speaker 1]
You postpone things, qi shu. Okay, qi shu. Oh, qi, okay, thank you.

And that qi means later, right? Shu means you let it go. Okay, qi shu later.

Okay, lelo. But this tsundere is going to sell all of that lelo. This joyful effort going to clear away all the laziness.

Yeah, and this sounds the same as G-S-A-L, right? Sell, like a sell, through life, right? When it's spelled G-S-A-L, it's the adjective clear.

When it's spelled S-E-L, which sounds exactly the same, it means a verb, to clear something away. So that's a clue for you guys in the future. When you see S-E-L, somebody's clearing away something.

When you see G-S-A-L, it means something is bright or clear. Your mind is clear, for example. Big difference.

So you got to know those two. S-E-L is the verb. G-S-A-L is the adjective.

Okay, qi pe. And this tsundere is lup chen. It's the great wave?

Yeah, lup chen, gratification, means great wave. And what does it mean? Sorry?

Magnificent. Efficacious. Yeah, it means very productive.

Highly productive. Lup chen means little effort, big result. It's called lup chen.

What do you call that? My teacher taught me this word when he saw a machine harvesting corn in America. And he said, God, that's so lup chen compared to pulling it out piece by piece with your hands.

So what would you call it?

[Speaker 2]
Efficient? Efficient.

[Speaker 1]
You can say more efficient, but vastly more efficient. I don't know how you can say that. Expeditious?

It just means it gets a lot more done in the same time, like much, much more. Lup chen. Why would that apply to tsundere?

Especially chi shul ki le lo. Because you're doing anything.

[Speaker 2]
If you're having fun, you stick with it. And you're really into it.

[Speaker 1]
The point is you get a lot more done. And you catch up on all your work. You get a lot more done and you have fun.

And you catch up on all the chi shuls that you met before. If you can master the fourth perfection, not only you have a lot more fun, you get a lot more done. That's the point.

Lup chen. And that's like a huge wave, like a tidal wave. Tsundere.

Mun gyal se nam kyi tsam. The son of the Bodhisattva before. By the way, mixed nuts doesn't say son of the victors anymore.

We say children. Okay, so we can cover all the ladies. So those gyal ses.

So we're not going to say son of the victors anymore, okay? Children of the victors. Of the past, who lived in the past.

Then the past tense, tsam. Ah, kyi ti in. Yeah, they kicked in their tsundere that way.

They kicked in their effort that way, okay? Tsam is the past, past, past, past tense of tsam. Which we have here, right?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
So tsam tsul means how you do it. Tsam means they did it. Let's do it like them.

I mean, let's get into it, Juk, the way.

[Speaker 2]
Yes, yes.

[Speaker 1]
We've got to be patient. Go for a while. We get these interesting conversations.

Okay, who are you picking on? Can somebody mute them? Trying to find them.

[Speaker 2]
There's a lot of people here.

[Speaker 1]
Yes, thank you. Good to see you, by the way. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. With his boss. Napala, Nile.

No? Yes, correct. Okay.

Gangtung, tsam, ten, sem, la, sok, shi, se, or te. So the fifth one, the meditative concentration, have the two sections in the same structure. Okay.

So the first one is the benefit. The second one is how to do it. Yep.

And then I have the four lines. Yep, that's all. All right.

And you could make Rob work harder. Okay. Stop, Rob.

Okay, we've got a problem. This plane has a problem. Let's start again, okay.

Rangi, Semla, Jitar, Dupa or Dupay? Dupa. Dupa, Shinwon, Ngyor, is that a Ngyor or just Gyor?

Just Gyor. Gyor. Okay, Gyorwe, Gyalpo, Ta?

Yeah, this is a big mistake. Wow, this text is, I don't know what's going on, just that. Well, yeah, we're at recap time, by the way.

Why are you guys paying me so much money that I can find this thing?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Let's go back to that. Okay. Because that's gonna, that's so sexy, I want to spend some money.

So I'm gonna stop, I'm gonna start here. And Gibson's gonna give us a recap. Do you want me to stop the sharing?

No. You wanna keep it up? Yeah.

Okay. Oh yeah, stop sharing. Oh, then they can see you better.

All right. So today we go through the perfection of the patient or not getting angry, and we talk about the benefit. The first one, they describe the benefit of the snake as the one with hatred.

Yeah, the snake is hatred. And the Garuda is the not getting angry. And this is the main enemy of it.

And the second one is, if you have practice not getting angry, then you are likely wear solid armor. So when somebody make trash to you, then you will never be harmed because you wear it on. And the next one is, after you knowing the benefit of it, then you will like the, already been in the past and they know the sneaky method.

Yeah, sneaky method of it. And the fourth one is the perfection of joyful effort. They also have three benefit.

The first one, can somebody give a hint? The first one is, let me see. Oh, all your good qualities are like the Dawa.

Oh, all your qualities like a moon and like a waxy moon. And all of your work has done. All your activity or all your project have the meaning, whether before you started or after you start, finished.

And then at the end, that's the third one. You reach the end and then sit back. Yeah, cool.

And I think that is it. Is that right? Yeah, that's it.

That's a good summary. Thank you, good to have you here. Nicholas, back to you.

Okay, we have Utpal's class up next. Let's take, do you guys need a five minutes, Keshila? I need like five years.

Let's take a five minute break. 5.32, see you guys. Have a good break.

Okay, see you soon.

[Speaker 2]
Thanks, Keshila. Thank you, thank you very much, Keshila.
