Тим Ловенхопт — Книга 1: Совершенство мудрости, занятие 6

[Speaker 1]
I'd like to see you with a deep mouth. Bye. Bye.

I'll miss you. Okay. Then I'm going to share my screen, right?

And I got 10 minutes, right, Tim? You got 10, sir. All right, here we go.

Tim sacrifices as much time as you need, he says. Well, I won't do that to you. Okay, we can cancel this one, right?

And we can cancel this one. We can go to this one. This one here.

All right, can you guys see what we're doing here?

[Speaker 2]
Yes.

[Speaker 1]
Yes. All right. So the content adding was clear.

Okay, 13.01, style editing.

[Speaker 2]
We did that one, Geshe-la.

[Speaker 1]
Oh, we did this one.

[Speaker 2]
You did all the 13.

[Speaker 1]
Oh, yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Correct.

[Speaker 1]
We went to that one. Oh, yeah, that's where we were. 14.01 is crucial because it comes back to me after all the editing. And I throw out all the – no, just kidding. And I check it all. And that doesn't take very long, you see.

That's not a big thing. Nick usually helps me there. This is an important step that we are not doing.

And I think that we should do it more. And I think we should pay the translators to compare their last translation to my final version. And I think we should have hours because I don't have time to explain everything I did.

And I think that the Mixed Nuts translators, you 12 guys, you can do step 15 together.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, right.

[Speaker 1]
You can say, why did Geshe-la change it to this? And I think this is a big weakness right now that we don't do this. So what did Geshe-la change and why did he change it?

And I think if you guys meet together and work on your own to figure out why did Geshe-la make that change, I think you can learn a lot. I think that the fact that we don't do this is a big weakness in our system. And I would keep the hours.

And you would start to see patterns in each person's translations that I'm changing over and over again. And then also you can come back to me and say, we don't see why you changed this. It seemed okay.

And I think that would be important. Then the final book is published within the Diamond Cutter Classic series. The series, by the way, everybody has about 120 books planned.

I'd say about half of them are already pretty well done. This green diamond is important. We are what they call the classical era of translation, which means we have the honor of picking the very best books ever written.

And we get to translate them. I don't know if you Mixed Nuts appreciate, because you are the first translators of these books, you get to pick the cream of the cream. And your students will be slightly constrained.

They won't have the choice of taking the best book because you already took it. So I hope you appreciate that you are the first commentary. In the study of classics, they call it, you are the classical era.

But the secondary era will come. And that will be people who cannot translate. And they will use your book to write other books.

And already, I know John Brady has been contracted to write a book about meditation. And we're already having meetings about which of your guys' books he's going to use. And so this will be a very exciting era in your lifetime.

Not so much in mine, but in your lifetime. People will come to you and say, I'd like to use your book as the basis of a book that I'm writing. And they'll ask you to collaborate.

And it'll be exciting for you guys. These books will often be written, there won't be translations, they'll be based on your books. So if your books have any mistakes in them at all, this is where it starts to spread.

No pressure. And then 1603 is where we are translating each of your books into German, French, Chinese, Spanish, Russian. We are very strong.

We have built a very strong structure in the three largest languages of the world. Chinese is about, I guess, 1.6 billion Chinese speakers. There's about 500 million native English speakers.

Anybody can tell me the next... Which country has the most English speakers after the United States? India.

China. Yeah. So we'll start to be having these secondary translations.

And that's a huge hassle that you guys have no idea. We have two full-time people working on those contracts of my books for the last 15 years. And it takes a lot of work.

It takes a lot of tracking. It takes a lot of quality control. Did they translate the book correctly?

It's a real, real huge job that you guys don't even know about. And our books are already published in 35 languages. So that's a huge important part of our project.

Let's see over here. Yeah, just to ship the books and sell the books is a huge job. Huge painful job.

And if you ever tried to do it, if you mixed nuts, if you translators ever got involved with this, I did it for 15 years for my teacher. And it's extremely many hours. And it's a lot of trouble.

So the fact that we could have the Diamond Cutter Press help with that is a godsend. Okay, 1702. Yeah, I would like a detailed sales report to each translator every six months.

The primary translator should get from Diamond Cutter Press a good accounting. For example, my Taiwanese publisher, Chia Fang from Oak Tree Publishing, is extremely careful with the royalties reports. And they are hundreds of numbers every six months.

And I think we should model our system after their system. It's not nice to tell a translator, you know, we've been selling your book for six months. We're not quite sure how many sold.

We're not quite sure how much money you're going to get. That's a real pain. And it's so, so nice to get it.

I get a check from Doubleday Random House every six months right on time. There's a long report. And it's not a lot of money.

It's not a big percentage. I get 5% or sometimes 3%. But we're trying to shoot for a much higher percentage, like 50% or something in the Mixed Nuts program.

Because the books will not sell like a novel or something. There's heavy, heavy accounting work here. There's heavy tax work.

I got a letter from the IRS this month for one of our projects. And because we have professional accountants, I just gave them a letter. They took care of it.

I got an apology from the IRS. And I was going to kiss their feet, Melissa Sims' feet. So it's worth it to have a really good accounting staff who keep you out of trouble and keep you legal.

It's our responsibility to pay taxes. And it's part of our practice that we pay people what we're supposed to pay. And here is a very, very heavy...

This is why it's a red diamond. It's a big responsibility for the translators. I don't want to see a book come out from one of our translators and there's no courses, there's no classes, there's no lectures.

I want to see that translator running around from city to city, from group to group. We have 14 worldview organizations. You have no excuse to not be teaching your book immediately.

And I have spent my life and my time to teach the translators because I want this from you. I want to see you out teaching your book. I want you to find creative ways.

Approach YSI, approach ACI, approach DCI, approach SCIM. Say Geshe-la, approach the Three Jewels. Geshe-la insists that I teach my book.

And they're going to say, well, what's your concept? What idea do you have? And then I want to see you guys design courses based on your book.

By the way, I use three pages of Word's book for a two-week program. That book is, I don't know, four or five hundred pages. You got six years of classes in there if you don't repeat anything.

Come on. Those books are so full of cool ideas that can be used by people. It's amazing.

This is a big, big thing. Maybe if the 12 translators work together, they can help each other brainstorm. Or two or three of you could do a combined class based on three books or something like that.

This is up to you. Grandpa cannot babysit you on this. You got to go out and make some cool courses.

If you don't, I'm going to with your book, and you'll be sorry. I think I'll stop there. We'll pick up on number 18 in the next class.

I'd like to turn the screen over to Tim for his homework. By the way, I have a PDF of these two mind maps. Nick has them.

If you would like to see a copy, if you would like a copy of one of these two mind maps, you're very welcome to have it. It's the whole structure where all the books came from, and the whole structure of what we're doing with them. You can watch the chat, and you're welcome to have a copy of these mind maps.

We'll finish the mind maps probably tonight. Okay, Tim. Is it going to be all me tonight, or is it going to be Gibson too?

It's all you. I don't think it's worth it to split the class, and I'll find another way to give Gibson a special treat. Thank you.

All right, here we go. Here's quiz number three. Quiz three.

All right. Lord Maitreya in his verses of praise is compared to a hulumpo. Explain this comparison and how it relates to the conception of the world a la Abhidharma.

Is it a hulumpo or the hulumpo?

[Speaker 2]
I don't know.

[Speaker 1]
It could be the. By the way, Tim and Word, that was the subject of one of my debate competitions. Oh, whether it's a D or an A?

Yeah, exactly. To tell you the truth, it's a very, very serious question in philosophy because hulumpo is close to a, what do you call that? A singular entity.

There's only one in each world. Well, compared to the hulumpo, how about that? Okay, well, hulumpo is Mount Meru and an Abhidharma conception of the world or cosmology.

The world consists of a great central mountain, aka hulumpo, and around it is concentric mountain ranges, which are half the size of the one that is, half the size smaller than the one closer to Mount Meru to it. And in between them are seas, I think, seven of them all revolving on a great disk of gold. And so Maitreya is like this pillar in the center and there's bodhisattvas that surround him in rings, concentric rings, going out just like those mountains of, I guess, lesser virtue.

Yay, good job, Word.

[Speaker 2]
Ooh.

[Speaker 1]
That was everything. And I wrote right here, Maitreya is at the center as the hulumpo, so I was not consistent in my presentation. All right, second question.

For Nick's $100 Amalie Defense Fund. Whoa. Now, this is what got Nick $100 for the Amalie Defense Fund.

[Speaker 2]
Oh.

[Speaker 1]
When Arya Sangha brought back the five great books of Maitreya, who is he compared to and where did this person go? That's a sexy question. I don't know.

Oh, I remember.

[Speaker 2]
He went to the Island of Jewels, is that what you mean?

[Speaker 1]
Yes, he went to the Island of Jewels, which is known as? Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka.

And who is? Like Schwenzong when he walked over there? Yep.

It was, he was compared by Geshe Michael, right? Yes. Yes.

Thank you. All right. Who is Senge Sangpo?

I spelled that wrong. Seng. Sengpo?

Seng.

[Speaker 2]
Haribhadra.

[Speaker 1]
Who is Senge Sangpo? Somebody already answered.

[Speaker 2]
Haribhadra.

[Speaker 1]
Haribhadra, okay. And let's recall some of the poeticisms that describe this great master. Here we go.

[Speaker 2]
His body has the huge muscles of personal responsibility. He's got claws?

[Speaker 1]
That's definitely one of them, but the one I'm asking for.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, I see. I'm sorry.

[Speaker 1]
Is that his claws, Tim? Nope. Not yet.

It's a. His mane? Yeah, his mane, yeah.

Yeah. All right. So.

Yeah. What's the literal translation? Paw house.

House of claws. House of claws. Maybe it's Santa Claus.

All right. Okay. Yawning.

Roar. A lion's roar. Is that the IT wave?

And this is not a description of master Haribhadra, but this was a fun word that Geshe-la translated very humorously.

[Speaker 2]
You scared the feces out of somebody.

[Speaker 1]
Right here. What kind of feces? It's coming up.

Diarrhea? No, no, no. It's the honorific feces.

Oh. Scared the holy poop out of him. All right.

Oops, that's. All right, we're done. Cool.

Oh, do you have a translation? No. All right, let's go.

Hmm. Somewhere. There it is.

All right. Yeah, here, good. Nice, nice.

Very good on the vast. Khen means quantity. Yang means vast.

Zin-ma. You missed the zin-ma. Zin-ma?

The earth? Yeah, but when it's a poeticism, you have to make it a poeticism. Oh.

Okay. And it means the one who is holding up the whole, everybody in the world. You see?

Zin, it's holding. And you could almost make it feminine, maybe. Zin-ma means the great holder.

The mother holding. Yeah, the great. Mother's embrace.

The great mother, or the mother who, yeah, the mother's embrace would be a sweet poeticism, something like that. Okay. Sugar cane one, good translation.

And if you read the notes I made, there's a thing called the sugar cane race, which is believed to be the first people who ever came to this world. And it's similar to the Christian tradition where they tried to prove that Jesus' lineage, I think the first part of each of the Gospels is his many, many generations trying to prove that he came from the earliest people or the earliest princes. And that's the same in Buddhism.

So, you know, he's called Buram Shingpa, which means the man of the sugar cane race. And this is supposedly some of the first intelligent people on this planet. Okay.

Denpa ge chedu. Good. Okay.

Tsunlun dangdun tsu shin. But yeah, here's the tsu shin that we had, tsu shin mayinpa yi la chepa, right? And there it meant incorrect ways of looking at things.

Tsu shin... I see. Tsunlun dangdun, tsu shin drak dzinpa.

Good. Okay. Genyi mawe lopun nam na du.

It's kind of a boring last line to all of that. I didn't really know. What's genyi mawe mean?

It's the translators, right? Pair of speakers. Just translator.

No, give me a better translator. Oh, that's right, genyi, right. It's a poeticism, really.

Yeah, you have to make it poetic. The two tongues. Yeah, those are the two tongues.

You see what I mean? Or something like that, okay? I don't want them to look like snakes, but...

Yeah. By the way, he has combined two words here, lotsawa and pandita, right? And I think we've got to catch the pandita part.

So you said great, basically, for the pandita part. But it means master. It means a real master.

Okay, pandita. Yeah. I have a question about pandita.

Does pandita literally mean master the five arts? I don't know what pandita means. I actually don't know.

I just know it's a high master. Like Sakya Pandita or Penchen Lama. It means pandita means kepa, I guess.

But you could look it up. Word, you could do a little research for us and let us know. I will.

I'm pretty sure I saw that somewhere, but I'll double check. Thanks. I'm guessing it's kepa, but I don't know what's the root in the Sanskrit.

I'd be interested to know. It's a strange retroflex. Okay, I'll look.

Thank you. Oftentimes, by the way, a retroflex without a reason, without an R or something, can indicate that it's Dravidian language rather than Aryan language. You see what I mean?

Yes, I do. I don't know. Okay, good job, Timothy.

Excellent job. Very interesting. They brought a coffin.

All right, here we go. I'm going to share my screen. Let's see.

Yeah, we're not done with this project. Okay, good. Okay, here we go.

Okay, here we go. I have some notes here, Tim, about the sugarcane guys. If you're bored someday, you can try to read them.

This, for example, is an ancient Abhidharma book in the 10th year called, How the World Began. There's a nice little story of the sugarcane guys there. Okay, here's the Blue Annals, which is a very, very esteemed and huge history of India, Mongolian, Tibetan, and Chinese Buddhism.

It also includes some Bodhichitta. All right, please read. Nick is going to check you.

Could you?

[Speaker 2]
People are asking if you could make your document larger.

[Speaker 1]
Yep.

[Speaker 2]
Thank you. Okay.

[Speaker 1]
Hang on. Okay, I think that's the fattest I can look at. Okay.

Okay, Tim, go for it. Oh, he's translating. Aisha, can you correct me?

I was. Oh, you were already correcting? I'm sorry.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Okay. I don't care, actually. Khenpe Lodro Khyelmkor Yongsang.

Geshe, I have a question about those verses. How do I read them with rhythm? Yeah, you see, your author is skipping through different kinds of meter.

Yes. As you've noticed. I tried to split it for you the way you should read it.

Now, here it got messed up because I have notes in it. I propose that it will sound the best if you go, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Take a breath.

Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. Okay. So, read in pairs until you hit the last triad.

Okay. And personally, I would pause after the first eight beats. And this is, you have to understand what it says before you can make those decisions.

Okay. I'll try my best on this one. Khyelmkor.

Khyelmkor. It's actually worse than that. It's an illegal prenasal.

And they dropped the L completely. Khyelmkor.

[Speaker 2]
Khyelmkor.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, Khyelmkor. Yeah. Khyelmkor.

Let's just do line by one. Let's do one quarter at a time. You have Khyelmkor.

You worked through it with him. Okay. He knows this.

Khyelmkor. The mind of omniscience or the mind of the intelligence. Just say the intelligence that knows everything.

I think Khyelmkor here is implying Tom J. Khyelmkor. I believe it is.

Yeah. So the intelligence of all that there is or something that knows all. Yeah.

What's Khyelmkor? Timothy, it's a mandala. Yeah, yeah.

And it means any disk. And the planets are perceived as disks. Okay.

Uh-oh. You know that. It's right there anyhow.

It means completely. Right?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. So a complete disk. Right.

Okay. So this is some kind of. Do you know what it means?

It's common in logic. You talk about something that doesn't exist. That was a rabbit.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the Tibetans thought there was a rabbit in the. Yeah.

They thought there was a rabbit marking the moon.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. Ribbon means that this which is marked with the rabbit, which means the moon. It's a poeticism.

Yeah. What's Senpei? Mark, right?

Sen is mark and Pei is like a metaphor. So Senpei is like.

[Speaker 2]
It's like measure.

[Speaker 1]
No. Senpei. Senpei.

Oh. The signs and. Oh, marks.

Signs and marks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

So you are marked. Your rabbit is the signs and marks. Okay.

That's what marks you. They make you very beautiful. Okay.

So he's talking about an orb in the sky, in the nighttime sky, who's supposed to be marked with the rabbit, but it's rather marked with the signs and marks of an enlightened being. Okay. Okay, let's do the second one.

Trinle Sangpoi Senpei Lokmei. Taking a breath. Great.

Yeah, yeah. Yukar Tadap Silginun. Okay, good.

Go for it, Nick. All right. Trinle Sangpo.

You know that? Like Trinle, it's a common name. I know it's a name, but I don't know what it is.

It's like a holy deeds. And Sangpo, you know that one? Like good or auspicious.

Pure holy deeds, I guess I would say.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
And Zay is the honorific for stuff you did, like deeds. Okay. So, because you undertake such excellent holy deeds, you Silginun.

Uh-huh. I'm trying to remember that. Yeah, right, right, right.

Yeah, you outshine all the karmas. Uh-huh. All the stars.

Yeah, and sometimes they're called yukar, which means... They course through the sky. They course around the sky in a circle.

Yashila, isn't yukar constellations? No, that's called the kim, kar kim, which means the houses. Yeah.

This emphasizes the stars in the sky. Okay. So you outshine all of the stars of whom?

People who lokma. People who... They ma lok, they talk wrong.

Yeah, who teach wrong, who teach wrong. So, by the way, Lord Buddha here is being compared to a full moon. And the full moon Silginun bus the yukars make.

Yeah, the full moon outshines all of the stars. Yeah, and they fade away. And that's what happens to bad teachers when they get near Lord Buddha.

Okay. All right. Okay, Tim.

Keep going, Nick. Namkar drakpe silser chokyur. Chokpe tukten kunda sal.

Okay. Kunda would be the partner, right, or like the... Well, in this case, it's this flower.

Oh, yeah. It's a jasmine flower. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it has a deeper meaning. What's nambar karwa? Extremely white?

Yeah, super white, pure white. Okay, super white. Chokpe, so known as pure white, I guess?

Your fame is like... Your fame spreads throughout the universe like the rays of purest light which emitted by the moon. Okay.

In all ten directions. Yeah, in all ten directions. What are the ten directions?

The four cardinals and then the four ordinals and up and down. Great. Perfect.

We had sil in... I think it was Ben Kramer's text.

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, right. We were in the cooling shade of the elephant.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good. Perfect.

And this means silway urser. The cooling light of the moon. Yeah.

What's that tradition say, you guys? That the moonlight cools you while the sunlight warms you. Yeah, good.

Okay. And by the way, certain flowers respond to the moonlight and certain flowers respond to the sunlight. So they emanate...

By those emanating, the kunda flowers, the forest of kunda flowers are just the kunda flowers of the teachings of the able one flourish. Yeah, and we're going to get ge, which means they flourish. When you send out chupa, when you send out your light rays in the ten directions from your full moon, and the light rays represent your fame, they help spread the garden of jasmine flowers of the teachings of the Buddha.

All right. By the way, it's quite good poetry, I have to say. Okay.

He spent a lot of time on it. Keep going, you guys. Good.

What's it mean? Oh, so the verb is left over from the last line. Right.

So the kunda is from before. What we already said, that it makes the rays of your moonlight make, say, the flower flourish, the flower of the teaching of the able ones flourish. And then this idea starts, So chak, you know, right?

Like to bow down. Yeah. Uh-huh.

Yeah. Chaksel, right? I think.

A bow down to. Yeah. My.

Is to. To gyalpo. Gyukar gyalpo.

Lobsang. Who's that? Lobsang gyukar gyalpo.

Who do you reckon that is? Perhaps that sounds like a nice lobsang gyakpa. Yeah, I would imagine so.

And gyukar, which we just had. That was the stars. Yeah, the stars.

And he's the what of the stars. The royal, the royalty, right? The king, yeah.

King of the stars. And that's a poeticism for the moon. Okay, that's a standard poeticism.

And a lot of these poeticism come from the classical caveat poetry of India. Okay, so it's important in your translation to express the poeticism. And which means the reader is supposed to be a little wondering what they mean.

Okay, and then if you want to, you can have a footnote and say, oh, that's a poeticism for this. Now, who's going to tell me an interesting fact about this whole verse? It weaves in Tsongkhapa's name?

Yeah, Tsongkhapa's name is hidden here. Here's Lope, Sang, Chagak. That's pretty cool.

Yeah, he has. And sometimes the carvers will carve a tiny little X under the relevant syllables. And that's kind of nice when they do that.

Okay, and if you weren't aware that the name is hidden, it alerts you to try to find it. Is it common that they would get it in the same spot in the meter? I don't feel like I've ever seen.

Oh, I have to say you're right. Yeah, he did, didn't he? It's the third and fourth syllables of each of the first three lines.

That's a nice point, Nick. I didn't notice that. Yeah, that's extra difficult probably.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. All right. Here comes Tim again.

And Dr. Kramer, did you do one yet? I didn't yet, no. Let's do this verse together.

Okay. I want to hear a pre-nasal at the first one, the first word. Ramjam?

Ramjam. Ramjam. Good.

Nowhere. Nowhere. Mormon, Normas.

Thank you. Good. Okay.

He told me I'll go. Good. Chuck so good.

All right. Happen with a Dr. Kramer.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, yeah. Well, um, you know we're talking selling somebody.

[Speaker 1]
I like, I like to translate rub job as myriad. Okay. Like billions and billions.

Okay. Okay, myriad of, of what Tim. Of kings.

Well, yeah. Yeah, but usually gala in, in, in our contexts means conquer. Okay.

Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
How many of those myriad of conquerors.

[Speaker 1]
All of them. Everyone. Yeah.

Yeah, um, uh, you know, tear, like tear time or term on gold can be yeah it's like a treasure of some kind. So, um, the treasure of Kimba or of knowledge. Yeah.

Cool. Kermit. Mermaid mermaid.

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh yeah yeah yeah mermaid.

[Speaker 2]
I'm not sure.

[Speaker 1]
Mermaid mermaid mermaid is yellow mermaid is a mermaid is a specific duck that flies around to bed. Okay. Saffron go, it has a golden yellow color.

Okay. So, this is always the word used for the color of the, of the rows of a month. It's always warming.

Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Do you know car or or robot.

[Speaker 1]
I'm over here looking it up, so I'm cheating but um, but in case you, it seems like it's like to dance and play. Okay. Importantly here, it means a stage play pose as.

Okay, so you say masquerading sometimes. Yeah, I like the word masquerading here. Masquerading in the yellow rooms.

Oh yeah, posing as a guy in the yellow robes.

[Speaker 2]
Hey second line we can handle that.

[Speaker 1]
I need to be a human. What's in the third line then, how do we start. Low song.

Yeah, low song. Is this low song 10 big guilt and is this all someone's name or is he's just still talking about just on copper. He's talking about the Johnson of the teachings of love son.

Okay, well, what's a Gilson, Tim. Some kind of conquer again. Yeah, it's like it's a bit like a victory banner.

Yes, right right victory banner of the teachings teachings of low song. Okay. Um, I guess, um, you're going to train your victory banner.

What do you do with the victory banner, which the hoist the banner waste. Yeah, cool. I love the, I love to compare it to the picture of Iwo Jima.

Yeah, it's exactly that. It's exactly that. So, Jane.

That's why they call them. That's why they call them. Because it's, it's diagonal.

Cool. So it means look here's the victory banner and you are helping to get raise it up. In fact, you're in fact you guys are masters of raising up.

Okay, yeah you guys so we got how many guys here do we have to get to the bottom of Tim. If the robin Jones, like the belt. Look, there's a there's a number in the last line here is two.

Okay, cool. Two. Okay, yeah.

Yeah, there are two what's a say like you'll say a brother. Could, could. Yeah, well, child holy holy child.

Um, yeah. Yeah, holy what kind of child tool by the way it's a rare word that means that the principal son of a king, the one who's going to become the prince, the one who is the prince. It means the two main sons.

Okay, that's going to help it like the heirs. Okay, great. So that's helpful then we probably know who that is but it's not explicit here, but we are.

Yeah, so the the two main super smart sons.

[Speaker 2]
Good.

[Speaker 1]
With my head. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, go.

Yeah, via my head. I bow down. Right.

Yeah, I'll give $100 if someone could tell me the poeticism we had for this recently. Into. Young, young like dumper.

And what's it mean. It means that the head is both the highest part of the body, but also the ultimate part of the body and. Yeah, good.

The highest part of the body so send the bill to Ellie okay word. Yes. Hey Ellie don't forget the $99 transfer charge.

Say it again word, it was so fast I didn't catch it. It should be young like key dumper. Yeah, you're not.

Which, which is a nice insight into the medium. Highest reality. So that means the highest part of your, the highest limb of the body.

The one who grabs me thoroughly. The one who sustains me. It's very beautiful.

It's very beautiful. So all you chubby little bees, we're going to take a how long break, Tim? Let's do five minutes.

Did you have a question? Did you know the name of his direct teacher? I actually was curious about that myself.

And I checked his biography, and it doesn't say. Oh, sorry, I know his direct teacher. It's a Sarah Judson, Lobsang Chuky Gyeltsen.

So there's two Lobsang Chuky Gyeltsens. One is the first penchant lama, and one is the famous textbook writer for Sarah J, which is the inferior half of Sarah monastery. And his teacher was...

So to divide the two Lobsang Chuky Gyeltsens, you either say penchant, or you say Sarah Judson. Sarah Judson. And there's a lot of stories about how his relationship to his teacher was very similar to Dignaga's relationship to his teacher.

He's a pastor. And he felt as though his teacher wasn't interpreting things as deeply as he could have. And the oral tradition in the monastery, I haven't seen it written down anywhere, is that he's a rare example of a student who went further than his teacher ever went.

Of course, the guys from Sarah J don't agree with that. But that was his teacher. The main textbook writer for Sarah J is an extraordinary scholar.

And if you're very familiar with both of them, I think if you are sure-ne, if you are sure-ne, sure-ne, if you are really fair-minded about the question, if you are unbiased, I would say Kedugtenberg Dagge did outdo his teacher. But his teacher is extraordinary. His teacher's teachings are extraordinary, and they are very valuable, and they're very worth reading.

So you would say Judson Chuky Gyeltsen. But that's all oral tradition. Right?

Yes, sir. Let's take five minutes from there. Cool.

Thank you. Thank you so much, Keshe Michael. Thank you, everybody.

[Speaker 2]
