================================================================
[Говорящий 1]
Malicious mud in the morning. Good morning everybody. I hope everybody is doing well.

Welcome to Schwenzang Tower. Looks like we are broadcasting live from our arena in Sedona, Arizona. We will be translated consecutively into Chinese language today.

I can hear myself. Hi everybody, I miss you. We are just recovering from your visit.

I seem to have that effect on people. It's the shredding guitar sound. Alright, well, take it away Mr. Seiji, whenever you are ready. Okay, Mr. Seiji, please take over. This book was published about a month ago. There are five chapters, so they are fairly easy.

A little bit, I think. Yeah, I think the DSEU students will appreciate it. Okay, so very recently we finished our first book.

Yeah, 850 pages. He finished. He finished.

Anyway, so this is the second book. I think most of you know. It's an amazing book.

It's called Bodhisattva's Guide to the Way of Life. And it's really cool. Because we couldn't find a commentary.

That was up to Mixed Nuts and Geshe Michael's standards. So right now we are going through the root text. And I think at some point we might have Geshe Michael's commentary.

Anyway, right now we are in the introduction of the book. So is there someone that remembers what's the new section we have reached? And what are the first two examples that our author mentioned?

These are some hints. Which one is worse and why? Lindsay?

[Говорящий 3]
Confession.

[Говорящий 1]
Do you remember the first two that we do? Yep. So she said doing bad deeds that don't involve other people.

And getting other people to do bad deeds. Alright Lindsay, so which one is worse and why? Lindsay, which one is worse and why?

She said the second one is worse, but Huan is going to chip in. Why don't we give them the microphone? No?

The second one is worse. I think because the second one, not only you're doing the bad deed itself, but you're causing someone else to do it as well. Alright, cool.

And then we're going to the next section. Depressing homework. Yes, a little bit depressed.

We're in confession. How can we make the previous situation even worse? Both?

You mean both? Which also happens to be the next chapter of the text. Hassel.

By rejoicing about it? Yeah. Hassel said by rejoicing about it, being happy.

Yeah, which is kind of like a reverse coffee meditation. Yes, alright, awesome. Under the spell of mistaken views, burned on by dark ignorance, are rejoicing these bad deeds.

Under the spell of... Cool. By the way, this is Nick's words.

Oh, yeah. Number three. Then we get into a very interesting topic.

We talk about heavy seed or karmic objects. Can someone remember which one they are, and why does it make sense they come at this part of the text?

[Говорящий 3]
Remarkable.

[Говорящий 1]
Also online, if you want, by the way. Is there anyone online who wants to answer? Our Lama?

Yes.

[Говорящий 3]
Because everything that we do to our Lama, good and bad things, carry a heavy karmic.

[Говорящий 1]
Yes. Awesome. Do you remember Peiling?

Peiling, yeah. Do you remember what other... The question is why does it make sense...

[Говорящий 3]
Sorry. It makes sense because... In this context, it encourages us to do good to our Lama because it carries heavy karmic, and it warns us never to do bad things to our Karma because of heavy karmic.

[Говорящий 1]
Awesome. Oh, so she said because our Lama is one of our heaviest karmic objects, and it makes sense because we want to not make bad deeds. That's what I understood.

Please correct me if I miss anything. So, do you remember other of the heavy karmic objects we mentioned here? Do you remember other of the heavy karmic objects we mentioned here?

Yes. Three jewels. Somebody said parents.

Yeah. Perfect. Three jewels, father and mother.

Three jewels, father and mother. Now, why does it make sense they come here? It's just conjecture.

So, why do you guys think anyone else has an idea of why? Dennis has it. Dennis.

Yeah, so like ... Yeah, good. He mentions another karmic object is someone in great need.

True. Maybe like if you could be quiet. Someone ...

Sorry, can you repeat that part, Dennis? So, he said you want to change to be better. So, you want to take actions to change that what makes them heavy karmic objects.

Awesome. Yeah, actually in this part it didn't mention people in great need, but yeah, those are the classic heavy karmic objects.

[Говорящий 3]
And actually, I had a question, Geshe-la.

[Говорящий 1]
So, I know that traditionally because of the situation where these books were written, the people writing usually didn't have kids. I wonder if kids are also a heavy karmic object? Yeah, they don't mention it because it's monastic.

It's monastics. But in the Diamond Way, where kind of the basis of the Diamond Way is we don't know people around us. We don't know who's Buddha and who's not a Buddha.

And classically, one of the suspicious people is your children. Or your grandchildren. Oh, awesome.

Thank you. Yep, it says the heavy karmic objects, three jewels, holy teacher, your father and mother. I thought it makes sense.

Oh, sorry. I thought it makes sense they come at this part because you confess the heavy ones first. Yeah.

And you'd want to purify those first, I guess. I would add one more thing. His presentation of emptiness in the ninth chapter.

We're in the second chapter now. Is one of the greatest in history. It's like in the top five or something.

And I think you could make the argument that he is encouraging us to clean our negative karma before we reach the ninth chapter. I think the whole eight chapters ... Maybe the book is not about bodhisattva activities.

Maybe the book's about seeing emptiness. And the earlier activities are just to get you there. Because it's a very long chapter also.

And he flew away at that time. And it's famous that some people in the audience could follow him. And some couldn't follow him.

And maybe that's why he's so famous. Maybe those who studied well in the first eight chapters could follow him. With a good confession.

Wow. Cool. Thank you.

First class ticket. Alright, so first word of Tibetan. What's that?

[Говорящий 3]
Palms pressed together.

[Говорящий 1]
Yeah, Chloe and Ward got it.

[Говорящий 3]
We can't see it online, Seiji. Could you raise it in the window?

[Говорящий 1]
There you go. Oh, okay. Can you see it now?

Yeah, it must be. Faulty, bad, wrong, evil.

[Говорящий 3]
Shrivel up and die?

[Говорящий 1]
Yeah, basically. Natural death. Awesome.

Alright, let me see. So this is the translation. Probably 33.

Oh, yeah. There you go.

[Говорящий 3]
Could you raise it up for me, Seiji? So we can see it online?

[Говорящий 1]
Yep. We can't see what you see, but we're raising it up.

[Говорящий 3]
Could you move it to the right, Seiji? They've got a little window covering part of the screen, so thank you. Oh, okay.

Okay, let me do this.

[Говорящий 1]
Give me one second. Yeah. Zoom in more.

Is that better? No.

[Говорящий 3]
It was perfect before. Just move it to the right.

[Говорящий 1]
It's okay. Thank you.

[Говорящий 3]
So good.

[Говорящий 1]
Right there, right there. Awesome. Seiji, can you read, please?

Yeah. Good. Good.

Good. This ten, yi means what? Mind.

Ten without the yi. Ten with the A changes meaning. When you change the yi to A, it means firm.

And mirung means not. And chi dak means ... dak means ...

here means dakpo, means lord. Lord of chiwa. Death.

Yeah, lord of death. Chi dak. It means you can't trust him.

We say in English, fickle. Sometimes he acts this way, sometimes he acts that way. He surprises you.

For all you people who have a lot of projects, if you're in this room, I think you're that kind of person. che means past tense of to do. du means to stay or to wait.

So, what do you think the second line means for people with lots of projects? Rest? No rest?

Don't wait. Don't wait for you to finish your projects. The lord of death doesn't come and say, Oh, Huang, did you finish the Peachtree News today?

If you're not finished, we'll do the car accident tomorrow. But if you're finished, we'll do the car accident now. No, really, so it means he doesn't care if you finished your latest project or not.

And he doesn't care whether you are nāwa or not nāwa. What's nāwa? Sick.

Sick. Don't think that you have to get cancer for him to come. Lots of people ...

A friend of ours in New York, she's very, very beautiful and strong, and she rides her bicycle to the class every day. And the bicycle fell down in front of New York City bus. And she died in less than a minute.

So, nādāmi nā kun. He doesn't care. Anyone, if you're sick or not.

Yeah, you can't say this person's young and healthy, they ride a bike all day. He comes lobur. And by the way, when you say lobur, you say it fast.

Lobur.

[Говорящий 3]
Lobur.

[Говорящий 1]
Lobur. Because it means suddenly. It means suddenly.

So, people even say the word fast. I think subconsciously, they say lobur.

[Говорящий 3]
Lobur.

[Говорящий 1]
He returns to the same word that he started with. Yi mitten. You cannot trust se.

What's se?

[Говорящий 3]
Se is life.

[Говорящий 1]
Yeah, you cannot trust the length of life actually. The length of life. How long?

Yeah. So, we try to learn one Sanskrit word every time, or two words, or something like that. And I would like you to learn swasta.

Swasta. Swasta. Yeah, swa means your own.

And sta means to stay. The Tibetan is rang gi ne, which means in your place. And almost all English words come from Sanskrit.

Sanskrit's the mother of all languages except Chinese, Hebrew, Semitic languages, Middle East. So, swa became su. Su you see in suicide.

Kill yourself. And sta you see in station, or state. Okay, Seiji, you choose people to read, and you might want to try Sanskrit sometimes.

I don't think we should spend the whole hour. But if you want to bother a word, or somebody like that. You have people read it as you like.

Okay, let's go for a word. Do you want to try?

[Говорящий 3]
Sure, thank you.

[Говорящий 1]
Thank you. Good. Good.

Yeah, so this was originally written in Sanskrit. Like, Shensang would have studied it in Sanskrit. We are fortunate that we have the Sanskrit.

And that's because of Anatole and Aisha. And she's working with two American Sanskrit scholars. And they fix all our Sanskrit for us.

Okay, Seiji, who's going to read it in Tibetan? This in the Tibetan is a translation. Okay.

Let's see. Oh, I don't have the zoom. Hey, would you be able to find some of your students, please?

Sure.

[Говорящий 3]
One moment. One moment. Svetlana?

[Говорящий 1]
Good. Here's Seiji's translation. Well, actually this is ...

Next Seiji. Yeah. Okay.

Nick must have done it on the plane. We must dispense with it all and take our name. Yeah, that's good.

THAMS CAD means everything. BOR means you have to drop it. CHAD DGOS PAR means you have to exit.

[Говорящий 3]
Exit the stage.

[Говорящий 1]
But, and Nick, it's more powerful ... There's a more powerful link between the first line and the third line.

[Говорящий 3]
Oh, I see.

[Говорящий 1]
So, what am I saying, Nick? Because we have committed so many bad deeds, we have to dispense with everything and die, basically. Or we have to dispense with our bad deeds.

Because we MA ZHES ... Because we don't understand ... Oh, the second line, you mean.

Yeah, because we don't understand that we have to BYAS PA. Yeah, we have to leave. We don't understand that we have to take our leave.

Therefore, we do things for RTZA and MI RTZA. Or what we love and hate. Yeah.

Because we're not thinking we have to leave. We take care of people we like and we don't take care of people we don't like. And to take care of the people we like and to hurt the people we don't like, we do all kinds of ...

Big bows, bad deeds. Big bows, bad deeds. I thought you might like to know the word for ...

Here it says you do bad things for your friends and you do bad things to hurt the people who are not your friends. Do bad things for your friends? Yeah, like you cheat or you lie or to make money for your relatives.

So, in Sanskrit, PRIYA ... means in Tibetan, ZA'O. ZA'O means people you love.

And all Sanskrit comes from roots. And as I mentioned many times, there's 800 roots. If you memorize the roots, you can guess the meaning of any Sanskrit word.

Because the construction of Sanskrit words is very, very regular. Predictable. We call it generative.

If you know the root, you can guess all of the nouns and the verbs and the ... It's a generative language. So, the root here is PRI, say PRI.

Yeah, PRI means to make somebody happy. And in India, it's a very common lady's name, Priti. It means nice looking.

And pleasing. Then in English, we say pretty. If you're from Arizona, you say pretty.

Pretty.

[Говорящий 3]
He's a pretty lady.

[Говорящий 1]
And remember that R's and L's are interchangeable in Sanskrit. So, when you say please in English, please, please help me. It means, I hope it will make you happy to help me.

Please, pretty. I hope it will make you happy to help.

[Говорящий 3]
To help me.

[Говорящий 1]
Please. When we say please help me, it means pretty help me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Then sometimes R and L changes each other, right? Sometimes the P drops off, and it becomes LUS, which means ... we find it in two English words, lascivious and lust, and that means to enjoy sex, actually.

Something like that. I told my friends I went to Oxford University. I didn't tell them I went for two weeks.

But I studied Greek. And I was studying Greek. The best Greek to study is the Bible, actually.

And there's a way to study Greek and a way to study the Bible by studying the roots. And they call in English, the commentary to the Bible is called exegesis. And there's a famous way to study the Bible, which is through the roots.

And that's a good way to study Shantideva also, through the roots. And you can learn Sanskrit by studying Shantideva. So, what we're doing in this class, only Seiji's class, we are studying Sanskrit as it comes naturally in the text.

And we made a new word. We say organic Sanskrit. It means if you come to Seiji's class, after three, four years, you will know Sanskrit.

Traditionally, when they teach Sanskrit, you have to memorize many, many, many conjugations and declensions. Conjugations for verb, declensions for ... sorry.

Yeah, and declensions for nouns. It means the endings. It's messy.

Very messy. Each verb has like 64 variations. Each one.

And my teacher just make us memorize it. And it's not very effective. You forget every week.

So, I think it's more effective to just memorize it. It's more effective if it's a meaningful book. So, I'm teaching you guys Sanskrit organically.

As we reach the word, we learn it. Then Christina Kasica back there, you want to stand up? She's a Harvard graduate.

At DSEU, we call it the third best university in the world. DSEU first, Princeton second. But she studied Sanskrit at Harvard, and she's living in Sedona.

She's a member of our groups. And she's agreed to help you guys with your Sanskrit if you want. And she'll start, I think, once a week?

Something like that. And it will also be called organic Sanskrit. It's more healthy to eat.

Okay, let's go to Seiji. By the way, we just had a verse about you did bad things to help your friends, and you did bad things to hurt your enemies. But that's stupid, because you don't know when you're going to die.

And this verse, he's continuing that idea. Seiji, pick somebody. Do you have a mic here?

By the way, excuse me. At nine o'clock, right Seiji? Yeah, nine o'clock.

World Central Time. We will stop, and we'll have 15 minute discussion. Seiji will lead the discussion.

And the idea of the discussion is to talk about ways that you can apply this book to your real life. So, please start thinking about it. Usually it's the same three brave people who talk every week.

But we'd like to hear from you guys also. And that's one thing. Seiji will lead that.

Until 9.15 World Central Time. And then we will get the news of all ... we have about 42 organizations.

And we have a news show. Peachtree World News. And we have the big boss of Peachtree World News.

And he'll come up for 15 minutes. And you can find out what programs are happening around the world in many countries. Okay, here we go.

Who's going to read, Seiji? Let's see if someone in the room ... Do we have a mic?

Yeah, he's ... Oh, awesome. Let's see.

Dinara, do you want to try? She's good, actually. Very good.

[Говорящий 3]
One suggestion.

[Говорящий 1]
If there's an M prefix letter, or an apostrophe prefix letter, they get a small nasal sound before. So the second word here is nza. Say nza.

So together it's minza. At the end of the line, at the end of every of the lines, at the end of each of the four lines, we have the verb ngyur. So say ngyur.

Now listen. ngyur became ngyur Now listen. ngyur Like Tina, your kids ask you if they can have second ice cream, you say, ngyur So ngyur means future tense.

So actually Tibetan is similar to Chinese. It's a very efficient language. English is the opposite.

So ngyur means future tense. And it's important here. It's important.

Okay, so Seiji's going to translate. Yeah, all the people I hate will disappear. Good.

All the people I love will disappear. I also will disappear. Hey, everything disappears.

My wife and I are talking about this this morning, about this verse. Hundred dollars. Everybody wake up.

What's the connection between this verse and the last verse? Your life will disappear. The translator can't make the money.

We do bad deeds because we don't realize these things are going to disappear. And now he's just saying they will. I want it more clear.

Your life disappears? Okay, here's what I'm looking for. I'll give the money to myself.

You hurt some people because you want to protect the people you love. And you hurt some people ... I'll take you out to dinner.

And you hurt some people because you hate them. So, you hurt some people to help your family, for example. And you hurt some other people because you don't like them.

And you do it to make yourself happy. But the people you like, the people you don't like, and the person who hurts the people you like and don't like, which is you, they're all going to be gone. You're all going to be gone in five years, ten years.

It's so stupid. Why? Why is it stupid?

[Говорящий 2]
Because we attach to things.

[Говорящий 1]
No, no. Why is it stupid to destroy something to protect somebody who's also going to be destroyed? Why is it stupid?

Why is it stupid to hurt somebody who's also going to be destroyed? Hold on. Gyal Tse, Gyal Tse.

Yeah, the only thing that doesn't die is the karma. Yeah, the seed will survive. That's the only thing that will survive.

Yeah, so it doesn't make sense to do that. Let it go. Someone hurts you, say, ah, you know, it's okay.

Think I'll have a pizza. It's okay. Just forget it.

Okay, just forget it. It makes your life so happy, and you will make so much money because you don't waste your time. Okay, so that's this person.

Let's see if there's any ... There's a word here, say aham. Aham is the Sanskrit for me.

Okay, and pride, for example, bad pride is called ahamkara. Make me, make me. Yeah, and in ancient Indian philosophy, it's the root of all evil.

[Говорящий 3]
Yeah, ahamkara. Ahamkara.

[Говорящий 1]
Before Buddhism. Okay. Who's next, Seiji?

Let's see, there's only three verses. So I think now we give you the ...

[Говорящий 3]
We finish with the ...

[Говорящий 1]
Oh, okay. All right, good. Okay, good.

Grandpa's showing here? Yep. Maybe?

Okay, good. Verse 36. Who's going to read, Seiji?

Okay, verse 36. Who's going to read, Seiji? Let's see.

Joe, do you want to go first? Joe. I can't read it.

I can try. You can, you can. Go slow.

Relax.

[Говорящий 3]
This one?

[Говорящий 1]
Yeah. mi lam ye su yong wa shing, gukpo gang dang dak che pa, de de ren pe yu du gyur, de pa tem che tung mi gyur. Wow, nice.

Awesome. Yay. Okay.

mi lam is a good word to learn. It means dream. It means sleep dream?

Dream. Both. Oh, okay.

Mainly sleep. nyam nyong means experience. So, it's like a dream.

You're experiencing a dream. Then, ngupo means thing. It can mean functional thing in the philosophy.

But in general, it can mean just thing. Okay, and let's see. gang dang kang che pa, che pa here means whatever one you're involved with.

There's nyamjor che pa, you know that? Yogacara. Yogacara.

[Говорящий 3]
Minomi.

[Говорящий 1]
Yeah, it's the other name for the Minomi school. So, it means activity. Usually the first two lines carry one thought, and the second two lines carry an associated thought.

It's usually split two and two, usually. So, your life is like a dream. And whoever and whatever you're involved with, ngyur, I taught you a long time ago.

Five minutes ago. Future tense.

[Говорящий 3]
Future tense.

[Говорящий 1]
It will become. It will become.

[Говорящий 3]
ngyur.

[Говорящий 1]
It will become an object, yul, of chenpa.

[Говорящий 3]
Attachment.

[Говорящий 1]
Memory. Of memory. Oh, okay.

depa is one of the three times. Future. Past.

Past tense. It means went beyond. Gone.

And the ancient word for nirvana is nyang ngen le depa, gone beyond grief. Then, tong you know from tong lam. To see.

Then there's that verb again, ngyur. When my wife makes her enchilada, I'm like, this is ngyur. Actually, just practicing my Tibetan.

So, mingyur. So, here it means not ngyur. tong mingyur.

Not. What's tong? Not seeing.

Yeah. So, listen. You fought to take care of your family and your friends.

And sometimes you did illegal things or immoral things because it's your family. And then, of course, you have to try to hurt your enemies in your job, for example. But two minutes later, they're all gone.

It's like a milam. It's a dream. Like, early, early in the morning when you wake up, you can remember a pizza you ate in the dream.

Yeah. Veronica says, why you wake up so happy? I can still almost remember the pizza.

Then after 15 minutes, you forget everything. And that pizza becomes just an unclear memory. All the people you love and you try to do things to take care of them, even if it hurts people.

All the mean things you did to people who you don't like. What you did and those people that you love or you don't, or you hate, it's all going to be like a dream in a few days. And you won't meet them again for a long time.

All the people you loved, all the people you hated, you won't meet them for a long time. It'll be hard to remember them. But the seeds you keep.

Those are fresh. Those never get old. That's the only thing you take with you.

Okay. Again. Seiji, who's going to read?

Let's see. Chloe? Come on.

Ready? Nice. Nice reading.

I'm going to make my cursor bigger. Okay. re shik means for the time being.

You are sun. You didn't chiwa. You are still alive.

Yeah, you're still alive. For a little ... in the little while you have been alive, se di nyi la, in this life, you had many dzas and you had many min dzas.

People you like and people you don't like. Yeah, there's been many people you cared for and many people you didn't like. du ma means many.

And they are all nge de. They pass away. My step-mom just passed away in 96.

She made a mistake. She lived longer than everybody. So, we want to have a celebration of her life.

We want to have a memorial. But there's nobody to invite. They all died younger than her.

So, if you live long enough, all those people you fought for and all those people you fought against, they will disappear one by one. But the dikpa, what's that? The bad deeds you did to help them or to hurt them.

dun du chepa means what you did for them, to help them or to hurt them. I'm going to go to the last part here. dun na ne.

dun means in front of you. In front of you. Like this orange juice is dun to me.

So, ne means staying. The dikpa, dun na ne. What's that mean?

Yeah, it's the friends disappear. And the enemies disappear. But the seeds, they stand there in front of you.

Hey, we're still here. And they are mi tse. mi tse is a delicate word.

It can mean endless. It can mean unbearable. And people use this word purposely.

The reader doesn't know they're talking about the bad deeds are unbearable or the bad deeds are forever. They are not impermanent. And by the way, if you're translating the Tibetan and you reach a word like this, that's the only time that a knowledge of Sanskrit is useful.

So, mi tse, which comes from the word mi tse, can mean endless or terrible. It's a translation of kora. And kora means terrible.

Like horrible comes from that. So, if you know the Sanskrit, you can translate it more clearly. My personal opinion there's 300,000 great books in Tibetan language.

It will take 700 years just to capture them. The Sanskrit is 99.9% destroyed. It's much easier and faster to learn Tibetan than Sanskrit.

So, my advice, learn Tibetan first. When you hit 96, you can start Sanskrit. You mean your age?

Yeah! Okay. By the way, the root here, there's a root here.

Let's not do that. Okay. me means to measure.

That's ie. ie means Indo-European. It's an ancient mother of Sanskrit.

Yeah. And in Sanskrit, the root is ma. And it means to measure.

And you might like to know that it's the root of the word moon. Because in ancient times, the moon was used to measure the month. Oh, I see.

Yeah. He's saying, meet me on the 8th. Hold your Diamond Way ceremonies on the 10th.

Then without a calendar, everybody in the world will do it on the same day. So, months, menstruation, menopause, these all come from ma, which means to measure. Who's next?

It's time, by the way, Geshe-la. Oh, it's time. Okay, I'm going to mark the text here.

Stopped here. I hope to write a commentary in Tibetan. Because I think it would be really fun.

And I translate a lot of books, but I don't get the time to write my own books. Except for DSE, and those are all business books. So, hopefully we'll write a book in Tibetan, and then me and Seiji will translate it.

Okay, Seiji's going to lead a conversation. Bye! Thank you, Geshe Michael.

Thank you, Geshe-la. Whoa. Okay.

All right, so, the class today, could be seen as something sad, but actually very, very useful. It looks like we already have someone who wants to share application to real life. Hi, everyone.

[Говорящий 3]
Thank you for translation. It's very deep. I've got like puzzles together.

I'll try to share. The first idea that I got, usually we think about strong karmic partners, objects like mom, dad, lama. But I got a deep feeling that the people that hurt us, they could be really strong karmic objects to us, too.

And first idea that if, let's say, in a business, someone is hurting your business, and you use this idea that those people be gone. And you're not happy that they will be gone. You are happy that it gives you that relief that this situation will not last long.

It's just temporary. And if you will get this idea, do like analytic meditation, you will not have the desire to hurt them back. It's the first step.

And the second step, you can turn it to the masterpiece. What if I will try to help them? It's the highest level for me.

But at least stay neutral.

[Говорящий 1]
I will be gone.

[Говорящий 3]
The business will be gone. The people will be gone. So I need to focus on something good.

And honestly, I felt relief I will be gone. The business will be gone.

[Говорящий 1]
I have to focus on something good.

[Говорящий 3]
Thank you.

[Говорящий 1]
Thank you. Awesome. Irina.

Hi, Irina. Thank you.

Today, I like this new word, breathing. For me, it's like not only sounds good, but the meaning, please to help. And when you...

[Говорящий 1]
Translate. Today, I like this word, breathing. Not only sounds good, but it's also pleasant.

For example, please help me.

[Говорящий 2]
First of all, if you ask me to help you, it means you trust me. And the second, when you are ready to help for people, it's opening new opportunities in your life. You can receive new skill, new experience.

Sometimes it changes your life extremely. You can find for yourself in new places, even in new countries. So, for me, breathing.

[Говорящий 1]
Thank you. Xiaoping. Xiaoping.

Sorry. Xiaoping. Her name is Joe.

His name is Joe. Anyway, just kidding.

[Говорящий 2]
Before this year, I didn't realize my mistake. And because of my past arrogance, I thought I was a hero who could criticize anyone. After learning wisdom, I was able to observe my inner self.

Some time ago, there were two...

[Говорящий 1]
I want to finish this part. Before I studied, I thought I'm the hero and I can judge everybody. And now when I study, I really like the confession part.

I can check inside and see my own mistakes.

[Говорящий 2]
But after learning wisdom, I felt calm inside. I gave them an understanding. They gave me feedback.

First, they found that I've changed a lot I'm the calmest person among all the investors. Another one. And because of such a failure, I'm affecting his wisdom.

So I think when I can learn wisdom and observe my inner self more, I feel very happy and joyful. Because I'm on the right path. Thank you.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, so I had some investment problem. Like two projects had some problem before. If it were me, before I studied wisdom, I would really go to them and negotiate hard and get my part back.

And get back to them. Get to them. But now after I study, I actually I feel peaceful and I didn't get mad at them.

I went to them and tell them I understand their situation. And they told me that you are the most peaceful investor. In this failure case.

But because of this failure in this investment project, I got a chance to bring them into wisdom. So I really thank my teachers.

[Говорящий 3]
Thank you.

[Говорящий 1]
Thank you for sharing. Thank you for sharing. Anyone else has any ideas?

Anyone else has any ideas? Also online. Online too.

If not, I'll share what I...

[Говорящий 2]
I would like to say...

[Говорящий 1]
Yes.

[Говорящий 2]
Okay. I would like to say two things I learned from today's class. First, how we can love ourselves better.

There is a very good point in this class. Everything will pass.

[Говорящий 1]
Only the karma will follow us forever.

[Говорящий 2]
This will remind us do not do bad things to others because the karma will follow us forever.

[Говорящий 1]
Second thing, how we can love others better, love more.

[Говорящий 2]
Knowing that everyone has equal rights to be happy and to avoid pain. So... This will actually help us to understand and to love people more because everyone has equal rights to be happy and to avoid pain.

[Говорящий 1]
Peiling, do you want to speak in Chinese?

[Говорящий 2]
Can I?

[Говорящий 1]
Yes.

[Говорящий 2]
Today, I learned two things First, how we can love ourselves better. We need to love ourselves. What is love?

Everything in the world will pass. Only the karma will follow us forever. This will help us do not do bad things to others.

Second, how we can others better, knowing that everyone has equal rights to be happy and to avoid pain.

[Говорящий 1]
This will remind us to love others more because everyone has equal rights to be happy and to avoid pain. Thank you very much. Actually, I think that's...

I agree with you, Peiling. To me, this is what struck me the most about today's class. We heard about impermanence.

In DCI, we have the, what do you call it, the toothbrush meditation. But I think what was different today was how fleeting the things are. Anything that we do will not even remember.

But the seeds will stay growing and giving us a bad result after. So I think for me, the teaching here was perspective, like macro perspective. Micro or macro?

[Говорящий 3]
A big.

[Говорящий 1]
A big macro, OK. Like trying to see things not just in the period of 50, 100 years. But much bigger.

I think for me, when I heard this, it's like, oh yeah, it is stupid all the little things to protect the friend. Let's see, anyone else? We have one last minute.

I think somebody. Lin, I think. Whoever has her hand raised.

Lin?

[Говорящий 3]
I have my hand raised.

[Говорящий 1]
Yes.

[Говорящий 3]
Hi, my name is Leah.

[Говорящий 1]
Ah, Leah, yes.

[Говорящий 3]
Yeah, today's teaching helps me to navigate the political climate in my country. You know, it helps me to remember that it's not like one group of people doesn't hurt people. It's like people with different beliefs than me might hurt people.

Or the group that I'm part of might hurt people. So it helps me to navigate different beliefs.

[Говорящий 1]
Are you finished?

[Говорящий 3]
Yes, thanks.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, cool, cool. Thank you, Leah. Awesome.

Thank you very much, Leah. So I think now we're done. It's time for Mr. Hassel to come in. Oh, three verses? Okay. And thank you, Stanley, for translating.

And Geshe-Le for the book. Never let him take your mic.

[Говорящий 2]
Okay.

[Говорящий 1]
Thank you. Welcome, everybody. Hope you are having a great time studying and learning in Sedona.

Hopefully this is the first of many, many more to come. So I want to thank Rob also. Because I got sick like for a week.

And then he was covering for me and helping a lot. A week? Oh, sorry.

What did you say? I said a month. And you know how they say there is always going to be a younger, more handsome guy who comes and substitutes you.

So I guess it's best for me not to resist it. Thank you, thank you so much.

[Говорящий 3]
And Juan, thank you.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, so let's do some news. So first of all, let's really, really thank Geshe Michael for all the help, all the support, all the wisdom he's sharing with us. We want to share with you some pictures if it's possible.

Is it possible to share? QR codes. And we would like to ask our team.

Yes, thank you. So this is a QR code for all of you if you want to follow these classes. Happening every Saturday, every Monday.

Yeah. Wait, what if we're in another country? It may be then Tuesday, Saturday and Tuesday.

But it always happens every week, right? Every week. That's Rob's favorite.

So I bet it's good. Okay, so you can follow the QR code if you want to get access to them and keep following these courses. Wonderful, wonderful classes.

But that will be a little extra charge. $35? No, no, it's $30 for the Good Night Book Club, add one extra dollar for Juan.

So that way, yes, that way you are not only going to be learning the content, but you're also going to be helping us to save and preserve this wisdom in the world. Thank you so much. Now we're going to move really quickly because we have other things to say and do.

We just want to show you a video, a very cool video to invite you for a cool project a great teacher, John Brady, is doing these days. Welcome back again. Let's look back and go into downward dog.

Why do we call sensations embodiment?

[Говорящий 3]
It can be a formula to get money. We're creating patterns of thinking. And you are in your 20s and 30s.

My question is, how can we heal it?

[Говорящий 1]
So join me on Patreon and we'll have fun.

[Говорящий 3]
I'm not going to guarantee anything for you because I can give you locations and directions, but I can't enact the activities. But we're there to help you. We're there with monthly Q&As.

We're constantly there to serve the purpose of seeing if there are obstacles in your financial freedom plan. And if so, how to get them out of the equation and have smooth sailing to a financial future that's healthy.

[Говорящий 1]
Wonderful. So this is a project it's called Patreon. It's like a sandwich on Patreon.

And the idea is if you want to follow up closely about John Brady's teachings and personal advices, you can sign up for it. And again, you will be supporting this wonderful project at the end of the day. Because this goes to ALL and ALL provides the content for Diamond Cutter Classics.

Yeah, so they have private meditation classes, financial freedom classes, yoga classes, and many more. And that's the QR code. If you feel interested, you can follow up.

Yes, thank you so much. Now we have a special interview with a great, great producer, friend, and guest. He's an excellent host.

Xiaobing Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Xiaoping, if you want to be cool. Zhou Zhou Zhou Ping Thank you. Thank you so much.

Oh, maybe move this over here. Oh, it's heavy. That means a lot of wisdom.

Yes.

[Говорящий 3]
Okay, so how are you feeling today? Great, thank you.

[Говорящий 2]
Oh, which one?

[Говорящий 3]
I want to personally congratulate you because this is a beautiful, beautiful event.

[Говорящий 1]
It's exciting to have this in Sedona, I think. Maybe Rob knows more because you've been coming almost every day, no?

[Говорящий 3]
Yeah, it's been really an extraordinary event to see all of the students from around the world coming to visit and really put the practices of ancient wisdom into practice.

[Говорящий 1]
But as a director and producer, what has been your own experience?

[Говорящий 2]
I feel that we are not guests. I think including me and all our students here, we feel that we are at home.

[Говорящий 1]
Yeah, because as we all know, or you may know, we are building a campus in Sedona. So what's the difference between producing an event here in the United States, let's say, and producing an event in Japan? Which one for you becomes easier, more accessible?

What's your experience as a producer? Very cool question.

[Говорящий 2]
First, I think I won't see myself as a producer because we are building a school. So we are not just producing one event here and one event there. Our school is offering a program for two years.

So in Sedona or Kyoto, it's just a stop.

[Говорящий 1]
First, I think I won't see myself as a producer because we are building a school. So we are not just producing one event here and one event there. So in Sedona or Kyoto, it's just a stop.

Different location, but same happiness and same fun. Because we are also building a campus in Kyoto. Have your students had any opportunity to visit any potential future locations for the university here and in Kyoto, actually?

[Говорящий 2]
We all, all of us, including Gesha and you, I think, we all went to the not potential place. We already went to the land and we work on the land that we already purchased for university.

[Говорящий 1]
So you said you have a special video to share with us. I haven't seen it. I'm excited to see what it is about.

You said you have a special video to share with us. I haven't seen it. I'm excited to see it.

[Говорящий 3]
I'm excited to see it.

[Говорящий 1]
Wow, that is amazing. How do I sign up?

[Говорящий 2]
We will give you a QR code.

[Говорящий 1]
Juan, I think we have to talk. Maybe we get new degrees. So now the thing is, very soon you're having another event in Kyoto, right?

So what's going to be, what was the main topic you will say of this course, like this session?

[Говорящий 3]
And what's the most important topic of next session?

[Говорящий 1]
So what's the most important topic of this course, like this session? And what's the most important topic of next session? This time we have three courses.

There is international business, knowledge management, and the course of EMBA is inheritance planning.

[Говорящий 2]
This time is about DSU is a big family and we are growing and spreading to the world.

[Говорящий 1]
And same in Kyoto. Cooper Haggerty. Cooper Haggerty, my nephew.

[Говорящий 2]
No, this is not a ticket.

[Говорящий 1]
Kidding. Kidding. What's the young leader program?

So it's something Rob is very interested for his nephew.

[Говорящий 2]
Yeah, we are launching a brand new program called Young Leaders Program.

[Говорящий 1]
We will be launching in March in Kyoto. Next year.

[Говорящий 2]
So it's a special design program for college-age students.

[Говорящий 1]
That's the one we should sign up, no? What's the age?

[Говорящий 2]
18 to 23.

[Говорящий 1]
Oh yeah, we're good.

[Говорящий 2]
Next year. No problem.

[Говорящий 1]
Contact our admission officer. He's 24.

[Говорящий 2]
Yeah, but many of the DSU students, they already contacted us. They want to send their children to this program.

[Говорящий 1]
Rob can take them out to the zoo. To the zoo in Kyoto. Rob can take them to the zoo in Kyoto.

Wonderful. So thank you very much. Is there anything else you would like to say about this particular experience you have for this session?

Yes.

[Говорящий 2]
On behalf of our DSU team and all the students here, because I got many feedback from them, I saw their feedback form. Many of them, I think all of us, we feel that we feel at home here. And we feel that we have this feeling at the same time in our hearts that we feel that DSU is taking roots on this red land.

[Говорящий 1]
We feel that we have this feeling at the same time in our hearts that we feel that DSU is taking roots on this red land. Already taking roots. Already taking roots.

Already, okay.

[Говорящий 2]
Yeah, and this will also quickly encourage us to go to Kyoto on another land. Okay, this was also... Okay, so it is a very important milestone for DSU.

[Говорящий 1]
Yes, this is actually a very important milestone for DSU.

[Говорящий 2]
And we believe that it will also help this land. It is also our wish to serve the local community here. And then spread out to the rest of the world.

So this is something I want to share with joy.

[Говорящий 1]
Thank you, thank you so much. So last question. We're actually out of time.

Yeah, we will have to save it for next time. You guys are amazing though, we're so lucky to have you guys here with us. And P3 World News looks forward to many, many more interviews with not only you two, but all your students.

Where will we be next, Juan? We are going to be in Japan. We'll be reporting from there and see what's happening.

Maybe recording you going to look for land. Making big business. Wonderful classes.

And saving the world. Thank you so much for having us. My pleasure.

Okay, next I think we have Ward. No, he's not teaching today. I mean not here, but for online.

For those people who want to keep learning and keep studying. You haven't had enough today. Keep going with Ward.

Okay. Hi everybody.
