Сугэн Ши — Книга 2: Колесо жизни (первый принцип и подразделения зависимости), занятие 23

[Speaker 1]
just hustling all day every day did you all see the homework okay so let's start what does lord buddha say is the trigger for the misunderstanding anybody remember does anyone remember the three or rather yeah the three disbeliefs

[Speaker 3]
is it the misunderstanding like which misunderstanding the general misunderstanding

[Speaker 1]
good question is he and she um no actually simpler than that thinking of things the wrong way yes yes which means it's thinking of them now the disbelief that thinking of things the wrong way oh no that is sorry that is yeah basically these are the three disbeliefs i'm sorry to say that yeah the not believing in karma not believing in future life and not believing in what's the other one i forgot karma future life past and future past and yeah that's the same right future life past and future there's one more future life two anyway i forgot i need to look at my notes okay let's continue with us sorry say again practices that can harm you no not not really i forgot guess i mentioned the traditional three jewels yeah that's right three jewels correct not believing in karma not believing in future life and not believing in three jewels yeah okay sutra of the big belly what does it describe as the five obstacles as listed by gunamat in his commentary to the will of life

[Speaker 3]
teaching the first one is yes which is attraction to the objects of the sense yes

[Speaker 1]
somebody else but what is the second one that was the one i remembered no no that's not the second one oh we're doing them in order i sort of i mentioned like gunamati

[Speaker 3]
attraction to the senses that's number one that's the first one oh i'm sorry thinking negative thoughts about somebody else i forgot i think or like oh yeah that's right that's right

[Speaker 1]
that's right yeah that's right what is number three okay so now now it's um it's combined one so it's a agitation in the mind and yes that's right that's right where's the fourth one

[Speaker 3]
the way i feel right now being sleepy oh yes

[Speaker 1]
sleepy and dullness and darkness and falling asleep and what is the last one that's all that's all that's all yeah the doubt all right in the commentary by master vasubandhu a good morning uh good afternoon joshua in the commentary by master vasubandhu what does buddha mention as the cause of people going to the hell realm this is where the three disbelief right i mean oh yeah but what what is the main what is the reason what is the cost sorry not believing in karma oh well that is the objects actually uh yeah um keep meditating on the three disbeliefs keep meditating on the on disbelieving the karma the future lives and the three jewels also all right meditating on their misunderstanding like misunderstanding their wrong view on the wrong view okay that's right thank you on the wrong view okay all right these tibetan words except except the mixed nuts the rest of the people anybody remember what are they well i can look at my down

[Speaker 2]
attractions to the objects of the senses yes

[Speaker 1]
thinking negative thoughts malice yeah negative thoughts about another person okay

[Speaker 2]
mental agitation and regret yes

[Speaker 3]
without very sleepy mind and falling asleep

[Speaker 1]
yeah sleepy mind and falling asleep and finally that's all thank you all right that's all gashala next is the two phrases i will i i struggle with this one but i think i came out much better i got a slightly more understanding of the tibetan language structure you just gotta ask him to help you that's all oh yeah i should hey oh hang on one second okay i'm gonna give you a bigger cursor oh no i'm this is my screen oh okay okay i think you know this language is very very old and it's very strange it's not normal i think uh also uh i think that she means anything uh so i think it means contact can be the trigger for any of the links something like that okay uh she means she means whichever i could i think we could read it as whichever uh link okay so contact is a is a trigger for all the links okay uh the and that's true because the do jk promo kong chiyang ruwan day tam jay um and i don't take this to be uh there is a one of the five heaps that we don't talk about much right which is number four oh no except for all the rest its name is do jk pumbaa i don't think this is referring to that i don't think it's referring to that i think it's just meaning uh you know all of the factors that you can think of uh you know uh or you could say uh all of the it also can mean all of the second links right the pile of all the second links okay so all of the factors you can think of they all occur in dependence upon contact shayo and that shayo would imply that this is uh some kind of quotation from somewhere that somebody said that um and and for that i haven't checked that i didn't check that it's no it probably means somebody said that some somewhere somebody said that okay again yeah yin partente heck it's going right in the teaching and i'm just curious how would you like it would you just say like we have so we have uh uh contact is also taught as being a trigger for almost anything that's how i would check you know okay that's the elegant way to put it yeah that's so confusing dj kipungpa but it wouldn't make sense if it was the heap yeah yeah it wouldn't make sense i mean i'm generally but but this you need a lot of experience tracks translating and i'll tell you something aside from explaining what's in it when it comes up in the abhidharma nobody talks about it at all uh it's like a invisible man or something you know like so i i i think it probably means that the whole pile of uh factors okay uh occur in dependence upon contact okay and then somebody said that and if we had time i mean uh maybe word you can check around check around the conger and see okay i'm already looking at it so i'm looking right now yeah and you gotta look for pieces of it okay yeah i'm looking for the jkp on the sheet uh that would be useful yeah and uh you might at the same time look for duch a b y a s d u d us right uh yeah and you gotta search kanya and tenure because who's writing it we don't master bandhu he could be quoting another master he could be quoting uh lord buddha yeah okay let's go to the next part again you did a good job on that i mean it's difficult uh yeah good i like it uh so this this should be what should be taught right it is taught rather than mentioned yeah yeah and this is interesting uh he proposed that there should be a link before link number one and we've been giving things that could trigger link number one i hope there's a pretty big bag of things that could trigger uh misunderstanding and here he says well you know what uh the earlier understanding triggers a later understanding so what do you want to make uh link misunderstanding link zero and misunderstanding link one you know uh they're based up in this does one understand uh what it is uh it doesn't want to understand correctly what it is to be a uh impurity right uh and then he says what's that means again um there are three kinds of impurities yeah uh yeah the impurity of desire desire the impurity of being okay uh what of the being right we don't know if this refers to uh ripen karma we don't know okay it's talking about that so you just have to translate it it's baba right uh being and then uh misunderstanding uh the misunderstanding of what's the uh oh so maybe it means uh misunderstanding sakvas is uh can act as a as a condition for misunderstanding you know well it could be the same do you understand what an impurity is impurities are three desire being and misunderstanding but i think uh it's talking about uh you don't understand what's purity and what's impurity and that's that's also a trigger for misunderstanding in general you see what i mean okay well it seems like that yeah okay sure it's a tough uh it's a tough uh sentence yeah okay sure and there's no help nobody's gonna help you you're on your own it's like you're it's like you jumped off a marine in the middle of the pacific ocean you know and uh sure by the way yeah uh in avidana

[Speaker 2]
they do describe the opposite of misunderstanding as the wisdom of this things distinguishing

[Speaker 1]
between pure and impure yeah that's a nice point that's a nice point and the person who wrote it

[Speaker 3]
is the same person right yeah okay there's more than just three impurities

[Speaker 1]
oh three categories or something you know they're countless yeah but even if we talked about kinds i i don't know i mean basa bandhu starts out the whole abhidharmakosha saying uh uh the first sentence is about sakbas and no sakbas right right yeah so okay okay time for a treat for sammy and sudeng i went and got the uh they asked me to do the four factors uh from uh stanley's abhidharma text uh maybe i should just use this right let me see so you can see my screen now you can see that yes yes here yeah okay all right we're in the middle of stanley's text uh we're in the second chapter we're actually towards the end of the second chapter and this is where they they discuss the four types of factors which was in uh sugeng's text so stanley agreed and sugeng agreed that we could use sugeng's time to translate something stanley will reach in 2030 i think uh okay so here we go uh please read sugeng and stanley might as well check him good uh so our second category here is a detailed uh discussion of factors ken or conditions when you say causes and conditions or causes and factors okay so we're going to discuss factors in detail uh we're going to have a general presentation chirtenpa and then we're going to go into some detail particularly chedak dur on the dematakyan which means the factor for something that happens just after it in the next millisecond dematak means in the next millisecond so one of the four factors is called a factor for what happens in the next millisecond okay and uh that's a special kind of factor it's one of the four and it's it has some difficulties so uh choni lama says i'm gonna explain that i'm gonna take a little extra time to explain that one okay after we do the general presentation of all four okay all right uh it's really stanley you're still checking good uh so the first one which was the general presentation on the four factors uh first we're going to have a yewa door then we're going to discuss the yewas what's that yeah the different the number different numbers of of factors what's dormy though briefly yeah briefly we'll give a quick presentation of all four then we'll give a gapership but what's that mean an extensive explanation of the nature of each one we'll go into the nature the identity of each one and then we're going to discuss the other features kitchen of each one okay it's like uh like what what realm are they found in you know are they in the past present or future should you get rid of them or not stuff like that okay uh so you can see how far into the second chapter we are this is 61 verses so we're already 250 lines into the second chapter which is very far into the second chapter please read the sanskrit again yeah that means spoken uh vak vak comes from that when you make the u into a va and uh it becomes a okay voice so ukta means spoken spoken by the buddha chat vada means chatter or which is where quarter came from yeah which is where quarter came from and cuatro in spanish and then pratyaya means uh if again a factor okay this is the word for a factor okay uh pratyaya means uh that goes on its own force or something okay uh the the aya is a form of the verb i just simple i and that means to go and we see it in this in the word exit which means to go out okay so i changes to ai changes to ay okay anyway they they go a lot in fact just go a lot okay so uh please read the tibetan what's it mean um uh let's talk about the four factors as soon as past tense spoke so are the the buddha spoke yeah yeah the buddha said that there are four kinds of factors okay oh four kind of putting the buddha okay what is this it's just a pluralizer for the four kinds four kind of four kind yeah oftentimes stock is a dualizer it means but not here not here here it just means four kinds okay uh okay uh and by the way the the tibetans are are anal about how they translate sanskrit every little piece is translated into tibetan it's it's not crazy to translate things into sanskrit from the tibetan they are so precise and i once went to the whole abhidharmakosha i i found like one syllable wrong uh in the whole abhidharmakosha i was curious and they're unbelievable the tibetan translators are unbelievable okay uh the standard was almost up to mixed nuts okay all right uh who's gonna check you venerable utpala thank you let's please can can children you you can make can can them a duck can tongue she you pay cheer nice uh translate again uh let's take the factors now translate um if you know we can divide if we can divide them if you divide them she there are four good and their names are you can number one making number two back in number three they might talk in number four okay uh what you can mean literally the cause causal factor here's an adjective the first kind of factor is causal factor second one is making um seeing factor because of seeing yeah uh this means an object okay object object object factor okay okay and there's a dark in that can is the what self self-factor yeah we can say personal factor personal factors okay and they might talk in means uh the one the one with something that comes just after in the next millisecond okay they're caught the factor for something that happens in the next millisecond okay and these are the four classical times of kim okay yes didn't we call the the third

[Speaker 2]
kind the supporting factor in in in my text the eyes are the supporting factor for eye consciousness

[Speaker 1]
uh i'm gonna read dark as being uh as meaning uh incorporated into the being of a person okay okay so you know being part of your person i'm gonna read it that way for now let's see if we have to change okay okay here's the second one uh so we presented them briefly and then he promised that we would have a more uh he we would have a discussion of what the details are for each in more detail okay good all right here's more detail about each one uh please read uh no let's skip the root text you're gonna get it in the commentary and i don't want to spill the beans i don't want you to know what's going to happen before okay okay hey friend and who is that there christina kathika are you ready hey john campbell you do some work here yay come on find something wrong with the gang it's fun you don't can you gal lam shana mingalte okay uh this is a question who can help me translate it the lam is a question mark the lam is a question mark it doesn't mean path aren't the causal are causes and factors having both of them is that contradictory yeah uh i can one name i guess if you're a cause can you still be a factor or are they contradictory if you're one you cannot be the other then we sell we say no no contradiction okay uh all five i'm sorry five of the six types of causes uh except for the one that's called a doer cause are are kinds of the first kind of factor okay the first kind of factor which is called a causal factor has five of the six different kinds of causes so this is classic there are six kinds of use and there are four kinds of kins okay the first is equal to five of of the six causes okay uh and now that means we have to teach you the six causes okay so i got all this stuff for you and you could go back and read a couple pages of stanley's text and we could finish it next year but i just gave you the short short and dirty okay so please read the uh wait uh please read from the red letters and john john campbell you're still checking him find something come on okay so this is from the great dictionary it's pretty good uh here's the names of this classic six causes from the abhidhamma okay first one is called a chay you i call it a doer cause okay a doer cause uh second is a feng shik chungway gyu which means a simultaneous cause uh kel niyam kyi gyu means uh cause of the same time okay uh sung dang gi gyu means a cause in a relationship uh of linking linked uh where the two things are linked mentally and then kundro means uh ever-present cause ever-present uh ever yeah and namiki gyu you know is a maturing cause or a cause which of karmic ripening okay karmic ripening cause okay and we're gonna do the definitions of each one of the causes okay then you're gonna see that five of these six causes are included in the first skin the first factor and that's going to lead you to the conclusion that it's not a contradiction to be a cause if you are a factor if one of the factors is five of the six causes okay and that was the guy's question could you could you still be again if you became a gu and he says yeah sure the first can is five of the six classical views okay all right uh here we go here's the definition of the first of the six types of causes okay which is called chegu you could call doer or functioning cause or active cause or something more scholastic okay uh john can you still check in one more of the sentences okay good uh this is you know this is the surfer in indonesia cause okay called chegu what was that example sudeng do you remember i particularly picked that picture because it's from your country oh okay so um the surfer in uh indonesia in bali is not causing the birth of of a baby in the in uh uk or something yeah uh a guy's surfing on a wave in indonesia at the same moment that a baby is born in england you know on the other side of the world is a cause of that baby okay he's a cause of that baby uh he's a chegu he's a doer cause for that baby okay and here's the explanation okay uh the definition of chegu from the great dictionary um is first of all it's a nang say of the six cues what's that mean you guys a member member it's a member nice nice nice nice nice nice it's a member of the group called the six causes uh how do you define it it gig michi gawk michi it doesn't do the blocking yeah it doesn't prevent it's debu the result from kiawa from occurring that anything that doesn't prevent the arisal of another thing in the universe is its cost okay and there's this huge debate as again somebody says well what if it couldn't have prevented it anyway you know i mean the surfer is 10 000 miles away he couldn't have prevented it even if he wanted to and vasubandhu says i don't care he didn't prevent it so he caused it okay all right that's pretty scary like there's lots of things i must have caused in my country that i don't really like but it looks like i caused them okay all right so gig michi and furthermore it must pin dog bar what's that mean or no not projecting and not shooting not helping then it means to assist or to help okay yeah so a it must not prevent the arisal of its result and b it must assist the arisal of its result and then what's for a hundred dollars what's the famous quotation in the abhi dharma kosher some guy says god bless the king and everybody says why and he says he left me alone this year and everybody says what do you mean he just left you alone and you want to god bless the king yeah leaving me alone is helping me not being killed yeah when the king didn't ruin my life i'm having a good year you know okay so that's a drama joke you know so pendokia means what assist yeah the surfer is actually helping the baby get born well why because he didn't stop it it's a funny abhi dharma thing i'm sorry ask stanley okay he's the abhi dharma he must have written it in his past life there's a reason why you got this

[Speaker 2]
in indonesia could have stopped the baby or it it doesn't really you know uh

[Speaker 1]
vasubandhu in the color in his commentary says that's not necessary that he would have had the power to stop the baby i don't care i don't that's why we chose one from the other side of the world stanley he couldn't have stopped the baby anyway uh by the way he's also responsible for the birth of all the martians on mars and you know serious star all the planets there he's okay he's the chegu for everything in the universe that's not him okay how many tables are there that's the answer to your question stanley here's the rest of the sentence so again how many tables are there how many results does a doer cause have well it's wrong they should be should come j everything else yeah everything else in the universe it's not all other than itself yeah so how many results does the surfer in indonesia trigger yeah everything except the surfer in indonesia in the universe okay that's a changer okay that's a changer all right first of the six cards in the amitabha by the way they are totally not uh on the same level you know one is very specific tiny one is everything in the universe you know they're they're kind of a jumble they're kind of a big jumble okay here's the second one it's okay let me let me put this together for you okay okay clenching clenching i need a new victim hustle are you ready oh are you trying to say you have maybe he's asleep no i'm ready it must be ready okay let's go let's go so gang do it um i'm sorry

[Speaker 2]
time not to d

[Speaker 1]
okay by the way i pulled this from uh earlier on in stanley's text okay so what's his definition of a fancy doing you what did we say simultaneous yeah simultaneous somehow uh the cause and the effect are simultaneous so the cause is called a simultaneous cost okay uh what's the meaning of this kind of cause what's that means again um yeah what is the meaning what's the definition and or we can say what's the nature role okay can you give us the definition or the basic nature of this kind of cause we say yeah pens in pendoku okay pens in pendoku okay the gyu and the debut pendoke each other the cost and the result um are shooting each other yeah they caught they help each other reciprocal yeah help by the way nick in the study of causation pemba the word help is strongly strongly uh skewed towards uh causing um okay not just helping i think that the word the the definition of you is uh penji okay something like that okay so uh they they uh so this is the cause in a relationship or in a situation nippa where the cause helps the result and the result helps the cause and we're not talking madhyamika way we're talking actual way okay uh let's get an example okay it's a gang and then we won't be so confused yeah uh and i i went and pulled that out for you just to help you okay so thank you who was checking the game this last time hustle hustle let's go hustle give him some trouble okay

[Speaker 2]
um but you're pronouncing ch as c instead of she

[Speaker 1]
she she yeah she okay here we go uh here's the second one date which means let's give some examples day chitin let's take this simultaneous cost kyuki senshi what senshi you guys example yeah example classic example okay so senny means definition but senshi means what's the classic example of one of these guys oh we got a classic example for you we got a pay pay means an example okay yeah damn uh love that so but chikla nepe jungwa she so but chikla nepe joshi okay so gang this glass has inside of it all four elements okay what are their four elements so yeah so this glass has uh the element of earth this glass has the element of water even if it's empty it has fire and it has moon why it has the element of earth because it has some degree of solidity it has the element of water because it has some degree of fluidity even though it's very slow being when it moves like it takes a it could take a hundred years for it to fall down but it will okay uh it also has may in it it has temperature it's not at absolute zero okay such a man and it has some degree of motion in it even though you can't perceive it there's the atoms are moving things are moving inside of it okay so if you think about those four elements which in buddhism means four uh basic energies of the universe like like gravity and i don't know gravity and temperature or motion these are four basic elements of the universe uh they support each other you see the water in the glass helps the fire in the glass helps the solidity of the glass the solidity of the glass they they they they are mutual supports for each other okay and abhidharma belief is that they support each other in the same moment which which normally we would say is impossible you know that's like saying the apple costs the tree and the tree costs the apple okay okay they say the four elements in a physical object are unique in that they are mutual cause and effect okay oh i see okay but if it's mutual right if it's mutual cause and effect what about the timing of the cause and effect yeah they'd have to be simultaneous that's why these are called simultaneous causes okay you don't have to wait for the result to come out in the same instant that the earth element is helping the water element in that same instant the water element is helping the earth element okay yeah so and according to all the other schools this is completely wrong impossible illegal illegal it takes time for a result to come out of a cause okay there's no such thing as simultaneous cause and effect okay all right unless you're studying dci advanced level one all right uh then the others are really uh sorry it's again how do you translate in a single entity in a single conglomeration like a glass like a glass in one in one entity or one in one physical thing okay the other examples are not going to help you so much same gijen jugnap game is there's 58 uh there's 58 side effects of the mental process which we're not going to go into and they have this they have this same relationship with the mind there are 58 uh accompanying processes of the mind and those support the mind and the mind supports them mutually okay uh and in the abhidharma there's four uh definitive characteristics uh such as birth and uh then each one has its own definitive characteristics so there's a birth of a birth and there's an aging of the birth and there's the death of the birth and there's the continuation of the birth and it gets really complex okay so we're not going to talk about it either he and senshi means the thing that exhibits those qualities of starting staying uh aging and stopping okay uh so anyway uh if someone asked you for a classical example of ken number two i always just say uh look that the classic example really is the elements in an object like a physical object they support each

[Speaker 2]
other okay so we had a question i just want to clarify when you mentioned the mental side effect are you referring to the mind and mental function relationship uh no it's a different

[Speaker 1]
thing these are like uh you know when the comet passes through the sky it leaves a tail and when you have mental processes there are 58 tails okay that's a long story okay

[Speaker 2]
uh so the elements are causing each other we wouldn't say necessarily causing each other we use that word but that uh fire and the fire for example can't be there unless water is there and the water can't be there unless the fire is there is that what we're saying they support

[Speaker 1]
each other mutual supports mutual supports which means mutual pen bulk which is the definition of cause okay okay mutual benefit in a way mutual help helping each other okay we have finished two of the four can't i'm sorry we have finished two of the six causes okay why are we on the six causes because the five of them are one of the five of them equal the first kim okay five of them equal the first kim all right uh which one gets left out it's the first one okay uh here's the third kind of cause so i i went and collected this for you they're not uh you have to dig around to find them all right they're not together wow thank you no they're not together all right uh i suffered i suffered from abidama you get you get a little more help okay allison wake up yes you get to criticize another abidama master foreign good uh this is a rather easy one uh cal niyam kigyu means uh a cause for something of the same type okay what would you call that um can what would you call that the cause and result are of the same type if the cause is virtues uh equivalent or something like that equivalent okay cause or something i think i call it equivalent cost anyway uh kawa nyam means the same color right they have the same basic fate or something the same basic nature okay jokes on your day means i'll i'll tell you how we could describe this uh the debut that the cause creates the the result that the cause causes should be ringed out with it meaning with the cause okay what's ringed army same family same class they should be the same type of thing okay so whenever whenever something causes something else which is of the same type it's a county mqq okay uh hey give us an example okay give us an example for example gewa miguewa and luma then the virtue non-virtual and neutral yeah and each one uh creates uh something of the same type later okay so if something is virtuous and continues to be virtuous we call it county mdq if something is non-virtuous and continues to be non-virtuous we call it county mqq if something was virtuous and changed into non-virtuous that's not counting and this is a very interesting cause because it's all about the question of can a human being be purified you know can can you ever break out of your fate can you ever break out of your karma can you ever be something you were never before is it is it even possible okay so is it possible that something really different can happen from a from a cause okay all right uh so how many causes we got so far today three three three okay please read and allison still wants to check you she said she likes to pick on singapore people

[Speaker 3]
okay

[Speaker 1]
Okay, I'm going to put this down here. KUN DROD RGYU means RANG DANG RIGS DANG SA GCIG PA'I NYON MONGS DANG NYON MONGS CAN GYIS It's basically when one negative emotion causes another negative emotion. It's called an ever-present cause.

KUN DROD RGYU, ever-present cause. In the study of causation, when you say ever-present, what you mean is negativity, negative emotions. When one negative emotion leads to another negative emotion, that's called a KUN DROD RGYU.

There's another set of five KUN DRODs, which means ever-present mental functions. They are present all the time, no matter if you're asleep, or if you're drugged, or you're unconscious. There are five mental functions that always accompany your mind.

It's not the same KUN DROD as the cause. There are five mental functions that are also called ever-present, but that doesn't have to do with this. He just wants you to know, there's another set of five, they have the same name, it doesn't have to do with this.

Here it should be mental afflictions. One mental affliction leading to another mental affliction. Those mental afflictions are two types.

They could be SA GCIG PA, meaning of the nine levels, for $50. Nine levels of meditation? Desire realm, one.

Formless realm, four.

[Speaker 2]
Form realm, another four.

[Speaker 1]
Same realm. Yeah, I got to give it to Word. For the Wordsmith Scholarship Fund.

Word, I'm going to charge you next term. Exactly equal to all the money you took from me in your life. All right, just kidding.

Anyway, these KUN DROD causes, these ever-present causes, one mental affliction in the desire realm could trigger a mental affliction in the form realm. Or a mental affliction in the desire realm could trigger a mental affliction in the desire realm. Either one.

They can cross realms. Okay, that's all. Is that right?

What's that? Yeah, is that right? I thought we had a discussion to say that they can't cross realms.

Well, here he's talking about they can, so we got to talk about it. Why didn't I do NAM IN GYI RGYUD, Sugeng? Why didn't I treat NAM IN?

That's the sixth time. We didn't talk about it. And we're not going to talk about it.

Because it's not part of the first KUN? It's just karma. It's just a karmic result.

Karmic maturation. Yeah, we don't have to... I didn't go get you the definition and all that.

It just means you do something good, you get something good. You do something bad, you get something bad. That's called karmic ripening cause.

Now you got the six causes. It will help you understand the first of the four factors. And we still have the other three factors to talk about.

Yay! But Sammy, if you want, we could do this in your class. I don't know.

We could finish this. You work it out with your Singaporean teammate here.

[Speaker 2]
Okay. Thank you, Geshe-la.

[Speaker 1]
For the next class, what should I do, Geshe-la? Do these next two paragraphs, okay? Starting with SEMS DANG SEMS SBYUNG.

And then DRA BCOM PA'I THAMS. Okay. Okay, thank you Geshe-la. Thank you.

It's fun for me. I struggled with these when I was learning them. Okay.

Thank you. That's how I lost my hair. I had hair when I went to Rinpoche.

I did look up that quote from Sugen's homework. Oh, what did you find? Did you find anything?

[Speaker 3]
Oh, his internet connection.

[Speaker 1]
We aren't supposed to know the quote. Yay. Okay, five-minute break.

We have eight minutes. Word, just send it to me in a bottle. I'll probably get it faster.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, my internet is funny. It's from Abhidharma.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, good. Can you send it to me? Save me some time.

All right, see you guys in seven minutes.

[Speaker 3]
Thank you, Geshe-la.

[Speaker 1]
Thank you, Geshe-la. You're very welcome.

[Speaker 3]
Thank you, Geshe-la.

[Speaker 2]
Thank you, guys. Sugen, how many classes do we have left? One more.
