Сугэн Ши — Книга 2: Колесо жизни (первый принцип и подразделения зависимости), занятие 13

[Speaker 1]
Try to give these people extra suffering. Today's homework is pretty easy. I miss you.

Today's homework is pretty easy. It's all the story I think people, I hope people still remember. So first one, the easy one, what is Ratnakuta Sutra and what does it mean?

Do we have everybody back already? Basically, nobody remember? Well, I mean, I just pick up from what Geshe-la mentioned.

It's a collection of small sutras, one huge book with many small sutras. And what does it mean? Ratnakuta, what does it mean?

Ratna is jewel and kuta? Pile, heaps, piles of jewels. I think pile sounds better.

All right. Ah, this is interesting. What did Master Vasubandhu do?

In order not to forget all the texts he learned, he has learned. He sat in a bathtub full of sesame butter. And he started to recite them one by one, yay, for 15 days.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. That's right. All right.

Now, what did the masters in India say about Master Vasubandhu? I can't believe the homework questions are so lame. I'm sorry.

[Speaker 3]
There's been nobody else like him.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, since when? Since forever. The passing of the Buddha.

[Speaker 2]
Since the, yes, Parinirvana of the Buddha. Buddha didn't pass, he Parinirvana-ed.

[Speaker 1]
Parinirvana. All right. Now, Tuk-tsu-tsu.

The bottom of his heart? No, something else. I'm just thinking.

Isn't that like fully understood or something? Yes, that's right. Totally get it.

But I think it's a similar meaning, like Tuk-tsu-tsu. But anyway, yeah, cool. Oh, okay.

Trung. Mistaken. Honorific for born.

Oh, yeah. Trung-kar. Trung-kar.

Tham-tu-leng. You take up a discussion.

[Speaker 2]
Yes. Discussions with each other.

[Speaker 1]
The reason I choose this, because after this, everything is tham-tham-tham-tham-tham. So I just want to drill it into my mind. Tham-tham-tham.

Again, then I tried to, I attempted this. And thanks to Nick for the polishing. Let's see if it's really true before we thank me.

Oh, okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have revealed that. Oh, no, that's okay. I just don't know if it's a thanks or a because of.

Thank you. So Geshe-la, please help me. Oh, yeah.

So far it looks quite good. Let me see. I'll find something to criticize.

All the mistakes are mine. All the bouquets are Nick's. Yeah.

Oh, my cord just came. Hang on. All right.

Wow. Getting a delivery from the Apple Store seems really exciting to me. What did he miss?

What did he forget? His charger. Oh, charger.

Oh, okay. That's dangerous. I just want to be very expensive.

I'm just about to run out and I might have business to do. That's cool that we're a business.

[Speaker 2]
The only kind of good business there is. That's right. I just found out I'm in my first business meeting.

[Speaker 1]
Let's see if it's the right one. So gang.

[Speaker 2]
People don't wear ties anymore. That's true.

[Speaker 1]
Should be the right one. They told me it's $20. I said, no, you made a mistake.

$20. Mine was I just paid $70 for one. No, they said, you know, we did the whole deal and they said, oh, it's only $20.

I said, no, no, there's some mistake. And they said, oh, you don't want just the cord at the end. You want the thing you plug into the wall.

I'm like, yeah, I want to plug in the wall. That's $130. Yeah, it's $30 for the white wire.

And then it's like $70 for the little box.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, this wire is $30. You have to buy them all separately too. They don't put them all together.

So if you get...

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, you can't buy a cord. You got to buy these two parts.

[Speaker 2]
I hope it came with the little prongs.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, right. It'll do your dishes for two weeks though, free. Yeah, I was going to ask the lady if she was going to plug it in for me.

But that's pretty cool service, right? Yeah. Otherwise, I wouldn't make it through Adam's class or the end of Sugeng's.

When Sugeng's... Hey, now, Nick, I have a new Tupke. Okay.

I could just turn the computer off when it gets hard in Sugeng's tech. It wouldn't happen in my tech. No, your tech is going to get really hard.

Oh, really? Okay, I'm sorry. Can't say it hasn't crossed my mind.

Hang on, I'm packing. Yeah. That's the other thing.

That's why you pay $100 is the packing. The beautiful Apple packaging is almost worth it. I got to have an Apple person come and open the box.

Oh my God.

[Speaker 2]
You just got to purchase the opening tool.

[Speaker 1]
I should. Oh, you want the opening tool? That's another $200.

Oh my gosh, really? I can't open it. Okay.

And the scriptures never got translated because of the Apple packaging. Luckily, I've been doing yoga. Oh, yeah.

Okay, here we go. I know it's going to work. Oh my God.

But sometimes if yours is big size, the 16-inch, the power should be a bigger one. But I think you are using the 13. So I think we are safe.

Uh-oh. I think he's got a 16-inch. Oh, really?

Of the big one? Oh, yeah. 16 hasn't come out yet.

It's a 15, right? Oh, I mean, it's a 16. 16.

Oh my God. I think it's the wrong thing. Really?

It is the wrong thing. They gave me a phone cord. Oh, really?

Oh my gosh. You mean giving the wrong cable? They gave me a phone cord.

[Speaker 2]
Like a USB? Geshe-la, if you could give us your room number, I can order it for you and it can come in another hour if you'd like.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, okay. It's 107. And you're at the Royal Palms?

Yep. And you call the- Exactly what do you have?

[Speaker 2]
What's your computer?

[Speaker 1]
You can ask them to send it. I gave him the serial number and everything. Uh, ask him to send it from the fashion mall, Scottsdale Fashion Mall.

No, it's the Biltmore, isn't it? No, it's the fashion mall. It's closer.

And they're open for another three hours, Tim.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, cool. All right.

[Speaker 1]
They sent me the phone cord and not the computer cord.

[Speaker 2]
Okey-dokey.

[Speaker 1]
They sent me a two meter phone cord. Oh, oh yeah. Oh gosh.

And my computer is going to die in about 30 minutes, 40 minutes.

[Speaker 3]
You can use the phone, Geshe-la, if the computer dies. Maybe somebody has one at the hotel that you're at. They might have one there.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, hey Tim, you could call the front desk and ask them to have one too. All right, let's keep going. There's nothing else we can do.

Okay, good thinking. Okay, Sugeng, go ahead. Yeah, please.

Nice. Yeah. Yeah, it's all perfect.

I would just say, I believe it's talking about 20 classes a day. Wow. Okay, he gave 20 classes a day.

All right. So, ni shu re. The re means 20 each.

Yeah. 20 per day. Okay, cool.

Wow. Yeah. I was trying to count up, if he gave a one-hour class, that means he didn't pee-pee and he didn't sleep.

I was starting to feel uncomfortable about the whole idea.

[Speaker 2]
Could it be 20 different books?

[Speaker 1]
No, it means a chu tun. Chu tun means like, in Seiji's book, we have tun tambo, tun nipa, right? It means a session.

Yes, 20 sessions a day. But a class, the session might not be an hour long, right? Yeah, but if it's less than an hour, what kind of class is that?

Yeah. Geshe-la, I'm just wondering.

[Speaker 2]
They were smarter than us back then.

[Speaker 1]
Why Nalanda, is this, why not Nalanda? Is this a different name or what? There's a Nalandra and a Nalanda, and one is in Tibet and one is in India, so there's a confusion about it.

Yeah, there is a confusion about it. So here it says Nalanda, yeah. Okay.

Okay, thank you. Yeah. Cool.

Yeah, Nick, I'm going to run out before the end of his class. I'm sorry, it looks like. Oh, okay, so maybe.

[Speaker 2]
Would it use less power if someone else? Oh, no, probably wouldn't.

[Speaker 1]
Again, what might save you some power would, well, Sugeng would have to. By the way, I turned off everything else. If you zoom into this call on your phone, I'll text you the link, well, or open your email and get the link.

Zoom in on your phone and just look at the text on your computer. And then Sugeng can share the text on his computer. Yeah, yeah.

Hey, Geshe-la, I just talked to Daniel. He told me Arina could maybe drop you off a cord. Oh, great.

All right, let's do both. Let's do both. Okay, I'm sorry, you guys.

Let's just go ahead and, you know. Oh, you guys want me to call? It depends how long it's going to take for Arina to get there, but it will certainly, it uses a lot of battery to be on Zoom.

So if you want to Zoom on your phone, then you could just put your phone next to the computer and Sugeng can scroll through the text. Yeah, yeah, sure. It's a good idea.

I still don't understand what you're talking about, but I'm going to do it. Okay, go in your email and open the link that Zoom sent you. And then mute the computer.

Hang on. Okay. Or let's do the infinity thing first.

Nick, do you want to send me the link again? I can, indeed. Hold on.

It's at the top of my emails. It should be. Yeah, it should be pretty close to the top.

Oh, well. I've got hundreds of emails. Yeah, yeah.

All right, hang on one sec. I gotta log into this thing. Oops.

Duh. My oven's going off. All right, no, that worked.

Okay, come on. Sorry, my computer's going slow. Oh, I got it, Nick.

[Speaker 3]
You found it? Okay.

[Speaker 1]
I'm going just in case it's wrong. You might have to turn off your microphone right after you. Yeah.

We can see you. Keshela, just to confirm, you have the brick. You just need the USB-C cord, right?

That's correct. Yep. Okay.

Irina's on her way. Wow. Okay, 107.

Is that working? We see you.

[Speaker 3]
We hear you. It didn't switch, though.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, it's a different one for me.

[Speaker 3]
Yeah, great.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, good.

[Speaker 3]
So you can turn off.

[Speaker 1]
You can hang up the computer. I'll pin your phone. Connecting to the audio.

The audio is not connected yet. Yep, there it is.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
Now, hang up the computer zoom call. But then I can't see the text. No, just hang up the computer zoom call.

Oh, I got it. I got it. Just hit leave on the computer.

So then, yeah, now we can talk to you. Yeah. Oh, and unmute yourself on your phone again.

Hi, now can you hear me? Yes. We see you.

[Speaker 3]
We hear you.

[Speaker 1]
That's so sexy. All right, we should be at Chittimba, shouldn't we? Chittimba?

[Speaker 3]
Chittimba.

[Speaker 1]
Oh. Oh, I'm still in NixTex. Hang on.

Boy, I was thinking such good thoughts about Apple company. And now I'm. Shenzhen can keep.

[Speaker 2]
Wow, the audio is so much better on your phone.

[Speaker 1]
Really? OK, here we go. Can you pin Geshe-la too?

I think I'll redo that. OK. Add spotlight.

There you go. Oh, yes, spotlight. Is that good?

Yes, I can see him now. But I mean, Geshe-la is missing from the. We see him on the side of his lamp.

Oh, yes. All right. Good.

You got me now? Yep. Yes, we can see you.

Yonten Dun, right? Am I right? Yonten Dun.

Oh, yes, that's right. Lower. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. But we haven't discussed this one, Geshe-la. I have difficulty trying to decipher all the names.

Oh, yeah. You know, actually, I was thinking about it in the car today. We should.

I'm not going to try to establish translations for all the names, because to do that, you have to read some of the book, you see?

[Speaker 2]
OK.

[Speaker 1]
So and the books that I don't know here, it's not going to be worth it for me to read some of the book, you see? We should do that together. And it won't help the other people, because they won't be able to understand what's going on.

[Speaker 3]
OK, sure.

[Speaker 1]
Let's do a rough translation. And then we will have to actually open each book and read a few pages and make sure we know what the title is. And that's why it took me and Ali so long to establish names for the Kangyur and Tengyur.

There's almost 5,000 books. And we read a part of each book to make sure we had the name right, you see? So for example, the Gandavyuha, it means stocks in a ray.

It's always translated as stocks in a ray. And it has nothing to do with stocks, and it has nothing to do with a ray. And people have mistranslated the title for 50 years or 100 years.

And it's actually the house of the magic trees, the house of the jewel trees. And so you got to read some of the book to give it the title correctly, OK? OK.

So it's funny. It's kind of funny that people just repeat these bad translations of the title. But we can make temporary translations, OK?

[Speaker 3]
OK.

[Speaker 1]
So this one is going to be the short commentary in verse. OK? The first one.

The brief commentary in verse. OK. And you please keep reading.

You're not going to trick me into reading for you. OK, sure. OK.

Good. OK. OK.

So then the second one is the rang del to the commentary in verse, the brief commentary in verse, OK? That rang del means auto commentary. And by the way, this list is kind of boring.

And let's go through it just for good luck. But then we'll have to go back through it again. OK.

What's a kojo? What's a tupa, you guys? Nick?

Ben, what's a tupa? A praise. A praise.

Yeah, good. What's the Sanskrit? Stotra.

Wow, nice job. I should give you some money, but it's too late. Yeah, the praise of the three jewels, OK?

Then there's the explanation of the sung of the godruk. What's that mean? The dharani of the six doors.

Yeah, and I did look it up, Sugeng. I went and read it. And it's six doors means six kinds of spiritual practice, OK?

But you kind of have to go read this stupid thing. OK, Sugeng's going to read. And now, Sugeng, you are fitting the description in Utpala's text of the Buddha who's only as big as your thumbnail.

And Ben, I think Hasso's going to check you, OK? OK. OK.

By the way, Nick, this is really helping with the power. Oh, yeah, good. In fact, I'm going to shut down Chrome completely.

And I'm going to shut down. This is I never shut down Gopher. I'm going to actually do it.

Gopher's like my blood transfusion. If you open it back up and it doesn't have all your saved fields, just go to the little box on the right. Right, Ben?

What's that called? Like. No, it always does.

It always does. OK. OK.

You know Tom, right? Sugeng? Discussion?

Yeah, the discussion in which we relate the seven good qualities. And we don't know what they are yet. OK.

Then what's sutrim gyi tam? Discussion on ethical morality. Yep.

And then sokhi tam, you did it correctly. Discussion on collections. We don't know which collections until we study it.

OK. OK. Now you guys, in the last, I think in the last DCI World Event, you studied the four kinds of awareness.

Here's some. Yeah. This is the awareness of sangye.

The Buddha? Yeah, so during the day you just think about the Buddha. It's like you're in high school and you fell in love with Shinten.

And in the classes you can't, you have to keep thinking about her. She keeps coming to mind. And that's what the practice of Je Tsongkapa means.

They just keep coming to mind. You know, even you don't want them to think about them, you keep thinking about them. So that's a commentary on the practice of constantly thinking about the Buddha.

And then what's the next one? The same commentary on practice of constantly thinking of the Dharma or all things? Dharma.

Yeah, it could be all things. When you get down to it, it's thinking about emptiness, actually. OK.

All right. And then what's Gendun Je Tsongkapa? Oh, the commentary on the practice of constantly on the awareness of the Sangha?

Yeah, of the Sangha, of your community. Yeah, your spiritual community, especially all the artists in the university. And then there's an explanation of the nyi mik.

What's nyi mik, you guys? Problems, faults. Yeah, it's the opposite of yin peng.

The problems of thinking about the five objects of desire. And normally those five means the five objects of the senses. They're called the five objects of desire.

Things you see, things you hear, things you taste. All right. And by the way, I'm sorry.

We got two more paragraphs. So Gang's going to read. By the way, it's holding very steady my battery.

I think we're going to make it. That's a good idea. OK, so who's going to check you?

Is Inna there? I think it's midnight for her. OK.

Oh, right. OK, how about Stanley? I see that he wants to do it.

OK, nice. tsik su chepa chik gi shepa means explanation of the sutra in a single verse. OK, this is sutra.

The whole thing is a single verse. gaya goy ring go. We had this in, I think it's in Kamasila.

But there's a sutra called The Mountain That Looks Like the Head of Gaya-go or something like that. And I'll give you that reference. It's an explanation of a sutra.

do de sa chupe nampa shepa means a commentary on the sutra of the sa chu. What's that? 10 levels?

Yeah, 10 levels, for example. And that's also a chapter in the Ratnakuta, OK? Yeah, so it's hard to find.

It's difficult to find it. Now, somebody wants to make $100. Tell me why lo dru mi sepe do is important.

$100. Oh, it got very quiet. Is it the chapter from Sandhya Nirmachana Sutra?

No, it's not. But it did come up with that. It's the other sutra that Nagarjuna and his sons are following?

Nice. $100 for Stanley, OK? Shalpim.

You can pay for his gas tomorrow. Where did we hear about that recently? What was that from, Stanley?

Was it this book? No, it was... Never Ending Wisdom.

It's Utpala's book. Her new book. Her new book.

Her latest book.

[Speaker 3]
We were talking junk.

[Speaker 1]
And you can either follow the idea of Trangye followed by a Sangha, Master Arya Sangha, or you can follow the one ideas followed by Arya Nagarjuna. And they're both based on sutras, OK? This is Akshayamati.

And it's similar to the Vimlakirti Sutra. It's actually going to be taught by Vimlakirti. And so most of the talking here is done by this bodhisattva.

Good. OK, if you don't get... Who's going to check you?

I think Shalping said she wanted to check again on the next section. Tenching. Tenching.

So the first one, this book. Yay. Translate the title, slowly.

The explanation of the things, dependence on... What's the term? Connection, dependence and connection from the first and division.

Yeah, the first principle and the division. The first principle and the division. Good, yeah, good.

And that's the name of the sutra where Buddha teaches dependent origination. And we're going to have this commentary on it. And this is our book.

Yay. Then he wrote a commentary on Dode Sattva. What's that?

On the ten levels of the bodhisattva. Ten levels of the bodhisattva. Inside the Ratnakuta again, OK?

Inside the Ratnakuta. Oh, OK. And then he wrote a commentary on the famous prayer of...

By the way, there's Samantabhadra's prayer. And then there's this other prayer called... What's it called?

Sambho Chöpa. It's the prayer of good activities. But it's also a famous prayer, OK?

And he wrote a commentary on that. You guys ready? Yeah.

And then we have the sentence that Sugeng Ji already translated. You want to just say it? You want to just say it?

OK. OK, can you read the great translation? Oh, yeah.

By the way, uninterrupted means 20 classes a day without a vacation ever. OK, he kept doing it for many years. OK, 20 classes.

That's what the Chakmei means. OK, 20 classes a day for many years. All right, without a break.

Just like somebody else. OK.

[Speaker 2]
Ashola, I'm sorry. It's a silly thing. But I'm just so confused about Nalanda versus Nalandra.

You said maybe there's a reference to one in Tibet. But it seems like the old Indian one, you still see sometimes called Nalanda. But here, right?

I mean, it says Nalanda. Is that a retroflex? And that's why we're seeing an R?

[Speaker 1]
I don't know. I just know. I hear it called Nalanda.

And I see it called Nalanda. And I think we would have to check some old Sanskrit books and see which one is more correct. OK, I could actually do it right now.

No, I can't. I don't have Gopher. But you can trust what Lokesh Chandra says.

OK, so look up N, long A, L-A, N. Retroflex, probably. D, retroflex.

And see how he spelled it. And that'll be correct. You could probably do it right now, actually.

[Speaker 2]
N, long A?

[Speaker 1]
N, long A, L-A, N. And that should hit it.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, Nalanda. He does not have a D.

[Speaker 1]
But he has a retroflex D, right?

[Speaker 2]
No, he does not. He just says Nalanda.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, so I think the R is a corruption by the Tibetans. I believe it is a corruption.

[Speaker 2]
He even specifically lists Nalanda without the R after Tibetan entry, which is Nalanda with the R.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, so he's saying that that's a corruption. OK, cool. OK, keep going, Sugeng.

And who's going to check you is Nick. Choose somebody. I can't see anybody.

Oh, Allison. J, nice notation. Then if there was any mutekpa jungna, what's that mean?

If some mutekpa jungna... Shows up. Yeah, if some evil non-Buddhist shows up, who knows demataktu?

Right after that? Yeah, in an instant, OK? In an instant, sarchipa.

It ended, it cut off. Yeah, he will destroy them in a minute, OK? If they show up, he wiped them out in a minute, OK?

And then he did the three activities of a kepa, the three activities of a wise person. OK, got it? Which include somba tenju.

We just had samba in Nick's text, past tense, past tense. Composing works. Yeah, so he spent...

dun dawa means he spent his time, he passed his time, dun dawa dze. He passed his honorable time. Doing the three great deeds of all masters.

For one of them being composing books. And I went and got you the three, OK? Here's a footnote for the three.

OK, so please, please read this one, Sugeng. And same thing, Alison is checking, I think. OK, good.

OK, so basically they are... chepa, what's chepa, chepa?

[Speaker 2]
Explanation, commentary.

[Speaker 1]
To explain, to teach, OK? Teaching the essence of the dharma, OK? So the first activity of a wise person is to teach the essence of the dharma.

The second one is to dzirpa. To destroy, to cut? To debate, to debate the meaning with people.

Dharsha chepa means to debate the fine points, OK? Cut the fine points, OK? So to debate, to engage in debates with other people.

OK, that's the second of the... So the first one is composing new... I'm sorry, the first one is teaching orally.

The second one is engaging in debate about the finer points. And then, tsonpa.

[Speaker 2]
Right, and composing.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, composing. And then he says either kind of text. And I don't know what he's talking about.

I'll have to look that up for you, OK?

[Speaker 2]
Maybe it's about the dharma and debates?

[Speaker 1]
It could be, it could be. But I suspect it's something else, OK? It might be ka and tencho, I don't know.

You know, it could be the Buddha and the classical commentaries. Anyway, basically we call che tsu tsom. Say che tsu tsom.

Che tsu tsom. Che tsu tsom. It's an idiom.

Che tsu tsom means teaching, debating, and writing. These are the three classical activities of a great teacher, OK? OK.

Is it from this one? Say again? The second word, the tsu, the debate.

Is this the word? Yeah, that's debate, yeah. And in the actual definition, he says se.

And it's the same thing. It's the same thing, yeah. Yeah, se and tsu is the same thing.

Debating, yeah. And where did this come from? I'm sorry, but this is from the Great Dictionary.

OK, thanks. OK.

[Speaker 2]
Are there classical circumstances under which a teacher would be debating still, even though they are already a teacher? They've ostensibly completed their education, but they're running around debating.

[Speaker 1]
This is if a non-Buddhist shows up at the monastery and wants to debate, you know? Oh.

[Speaker 2]
And wouldn't the high lamas debate younger students, too, to help them learn?

[Speaker 1]
It's kind of frightening to watch two Harampageshas go at it in their 50s or something. It's kind of like two elephants battling, you know? It's kind of scary, actually.

Yeah, it happens. OK. Keep going, Suge.

No rest for the wearies. Oh, who's checking you? Who's checking you, Nick?

I'm sorry, I can't see anybody. How about Ben? OK.

I'm going to cut it there, because it's shorter. de du means at that time. che gu means illustrious people, like the important people of his time in the Dzambuling.

In the whole world, OK? They would, sablak duk, they would come and touch their feet, hands at his feet, OK? Sablak duk means they would come and pay him honor to this Mahatma, OK?

Yeah, so all of the really leading people of his time would come and touch his feet, and then they would chupa to him. Chupa, debate? Make offerings.

Oh, chupa, make offering. And then they would nyankor him. They would pay him honor, OK?

They would pay him honor. So he got, basically, he got very famous, OK? All right, keep going, Suge.

Ben again? OK. How about Gibson can check?

If Gibson can check. OK, good. The word that's going to be difficult for you guys is tsampa here, and it means fit, to fit their wangbos.

What's that mean? Talk about their abilities. Yeah, he would teach people according to their intellectual abilities, OK?

Chuky gokel nampa che. People would take their share of the dharma, OK? People would come to get their fair share of the dharma, OK?

According to their capacity, OK? And then depa chens, what's that mean? People with faith.

People of depa. Of faith. Yes, people of faith would start to suwan depa to him.

Start the process.

[Speaker 3]
Duplicate.

[Speaker 1]
No, they would make requests, right?

[Speaker 3]
Requests.

[Speaker 1]
OK. And because of that, he was forced to jun to many other yuls.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, he was forced to travel to many other lands?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, he'd had to travel to this land and that land. Shen dan shen means that. First that country.

Then he had to go to that country. Then he had to go to that country. Jun is a polite word for travel, OK?

And kan dan kang du, in every one of those countries, if they already had the gyelway tenpa bade nyampa, he would suwan. That's the suwan sojong. Fix, repair.

Yeah, if they already had the dharma, but it degenerated, he would fix it. And if they already had the dharma, but it was going well, he would che che pelwa. Expand.

Yeah, he would expand it. Good. By the way, Nick, my computer is holding really well.

Good. Yeah, I think it might be able to hold out for the next class, even if nobody arrives. And Tim said someone will arrive in 30 to 60 minutes.

Yeah. Yeah, that usually means 59. OK.

The more programs you turn off on your computer, the longer your battery. I did. I turned off everything.

In fact, it's very uncomfortable for me. I know the feeling. Irina is 10 minutes away.

Yay. I hope she brings a pizza also. No, I'm just kidding.

Later.

[Speaker 3]
She will. Later.

[Speaker 1]
By the way, we're on the last paragraph. OK, Sugeng? Oh, wow.

Let's do it. Oh, yeah. OK.

When I would, Paula, can you please be my checker?

[Speaker 3]

Shin. Yeah. OK.

Just finished your biography for this term. And you're making good progress. And nobody knows his story.

And, you know, it's hard to find. So let's we didn't finish, by the way. But we got to an important part.

So then he was invited to Churchill.

[Speaker 2]
To the east.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. To an eastern Indian country. Don't forget, India was split up into many countries at that time.

And it was called Gowri. And it's a place in Bihar nowadays. OK.

In other words, it's close to Bokaya. He went there. There were many people who were Kelmedan.

[Speaker 2]
Very cool. Agadam.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, they had their share of good deed. They had. Yeah, they had good, good karma.

And he taught the tape of Chambodok. Taught the Mahayana Sutras. In detail.

Gotcha. In detail. OK.

And then the Karachogi class. The class who live on the car side. The master in the India.

Karachogi means the good guy. OK, the good. Oh, the good guy.

Yeah, it implies there's a knock joke. What's that? So Karachogi means all the good guys were happy.

And so they they dropped a charpa of methox on his head. Oh. Golden flowers.

Rain of golden flowers. Marigold. Yeah, they dropped.

Who is that little golden flower? They dropped a rain of golden flowers on his head. OK.

And everybody, none to everybody. It appeared to everyone. Yeah, everybody saw it.

Literally. It literally just started raining in Sedona when we hit that line. Well, gold stayed with them.

Everybody saw the whole thing. Tin nung means everybody saw the whole thing. And then everybody got deba.

Outstanding thing. Extraordinary. It's also raining in Shenzhen.

Yeah, everyone got in there. Their faith increased more and more and more. And then they did what?

Ka shin by the loafer. What? As the master said.

Yeah, nice, nice, nice. It's a very rare sentence in Buddhist scriptures. They did what their teacher told them to do.

OK. And because of that, that temba started to pell in that place. The teaching spread far and wide.

They started to increase in that eastern India. And that's why eastern India became such a Buddhist hub. Yay, Sugeng, congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you, Geshe-la. OK, we got more of his biography here.

Sorry, you can't see my screen. It's in Guadalajara and Vallarta, too. Oh, it's raining in Guadalajara.

OK. Nick, do we still have time?

[Speaker 2]

[Speaker 3]
No.

[Speaker 1]
We got five minutes, I think.

[Speaker 2]
We don't.

[Speaker 1]
We're at time. Oh, I thought I was going to tell Nick. We're at time, yeah.

I was going to tell Nick to stop barking. We got excited. Sorry about that.

There's mama. Ah, mama coming. OK, I'm going to.

We have 10 minutes. I'll just keep my phone going, OK? Yeah, we have nine minute break.

OK, good. All right, I'm here. Don't forget, everybody, Word's doing the Q&A tonight.

So bring your toughest language and mind-only questions. Yay. Thank you, Geshe-la.

I'm going to leave it all here because I'm afraid something's going to fall apart. OK.

[Speaker 2]
In this class, could you send me the Zoom that you recorded? I will. Something went awry on my end.

[Speaker 1]
OK.

[Speaker 2]
For this class. So then I can upload it for Sugeng so he can watch it.
