Вордсмит — Книга 2: Трудные места школы «Ум только», занятие 15

[Speaker 2]
Can we get your video?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, oh yeah. Okay. Can you want to do the mandala now and I'll do the homework.

[Speaker 2]
Yep.

[Speaker 1]
Okay. Sure.

[Speaker 2]
Okay.

[Speaker 1]
Okay. Sweet. Okay.

Homework. Time.

[Speaker 3]
Share my screen.

[Speaker 1]
Oh, okay. All right, here we go. Why are the eyes.

And the other four. Oh, not that way. Okay.

Before the other four commonly agreed upon consciousnesses. Not considered definitively as ripenings as per our current discussion. So I.

Ear nose. Mouth and skin. Why does Jason copper say they're not.

Send me to NEPA ripenings. Okay. I'll ask you a question before I tell you the answer.

Okay. What ripenings that we've been talking about this whole time. Or where do these ripenings occur?

How about that? That's maybe a bit. We've been talking about the country as a ripening and where the ripenings occur.

Exactly. Perfect. And what kind of ripenings.

Does the country ripen as. All of them. That's totally true.

But like, what are their nature? What's their nature.

[Speaker 2]
Neutral, right? Neutral.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, exactly. Neutral. So why.

Isn't. Oh, wait, is that a different answer? Yeah, it is.

Oh, how long does the country stick around for? Forever.

[Speaker 3]
No, until you get enlightened.

[Speaker 1]
Oh, yeah. Or you're in our heart. Right.

Okay. Well, how long do these. Powers stick around.

[Speaker 2]
The eyes and the sense powers stop when you die.

[Speaker 1]
Or before you die.

[Speaker 2]
Well, that's true.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. That's that's why. They are not the real one.

Also ripening by definition. Is only something that lasts forever. Basically it's only.

That's what Jason says in this part of the text. He says. He uses the word.

Yeah. He's like the reason I'm not talking about that. Cause that's not like that's not the ripening, ripening we're talking about.

So. It was a little thing, but. You know, the whole book's little things.

Okay. What is the difference? Yeah, it's cool.

What's the difference between the 10 and the 10 in terms of foundation consciousness and what is the same. Yeah. And one on top of the base.

Oh, you cut out in the beginning. I think you said it though. Okay.

Yeah. So. So the one is the refrigerator.

One is the content. Is that right? And then that is the different.

Yes. What's the same about those two. They're both foundation consciousness.

Part of it. Yeah. That's a good logical answer.

[Speaker 2]
They both come from seven.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. Yeah. That's true.

Something more basic. All happening in our mind. Pronounce the same.

That was the same. Nice. Oh, because it's confusing.

So I just want to bring it up. Okay. That was fun.

Okay. That's a good point too. Yeah, actually most people, they say 10 and 10.

To distinguish actually I've heard. Okay. Like 10 plus the Britain.

Okay. What is the major difference between the six collection? The collection.

Between the collection of six consciousness. And the seventh consciousness. In regards to the type of seeds they can plant and why.

Mental functions can only plant neutral seeds. Mental functions. Okay.

We're not talking about mental functions, but you're on the right track. Mental. We're talking about consciousnesses.

The first six.

[Speaker 2]
Can plan. All three. Three kinds in the uni can only plan.

Once.

[Speaker 1]
Almost. You would think. You can only plant.

Neutral. Right. That's right.

Okay.

[Speaker 2]
Now why.

[Speaker 1]
Very counterintuitive. It is. I don't know why.

I don't know. Wait. Is neither.

Or E. Think about it. It's like a coffee talk one.

Okay. Why, but why do the six consciousnesses. Plant the other ones.

Or. Yeah. Yeah.

Because those are going to depend on like desire and the other different afflictions. I keep. Pretty close.

Come on. Right. Create the content of our seed.

Yeah. You're getting there. I mean, It's really basic.

It's really basic and it makes sense. This is the part of the book we're talking about how they work. The two consciences work together as conditions for each other.

Or something like that. And so. It's pretty basic.

The new knee is only neutral. So all they can do is neutral, but the other six can be bad, good, or neutral. So they do bad, good, and neutral.

The six conscious can plant karmas of all three types, neutral, good, and bad. Because it can be all three types while the new knee can only plant neutral because it's nature. Oh, but you're not asking why is nature is neutral.

That's way too confusing. Oh no. Why can they only plant.

Yeah. Those types of seeds. Cool.

Okay. Yeah. I don't know why we don't that's.

We keep having that discussion and everyone's book so far. Or three books. I think we've heard it in.

So far. Okay. We're going to do totally platonic.

[Speaker 2]
Oh, that's cool.

[Speaker 1]
Nice. I mean, if you think they're sexy, that's your problem. Okay.

I did phrases. Because all the words we have now are pretty much the same. We keep repeating.

So. I just did a phrase. These phrases.

The second one is. Okay. Just it's miss.

Sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. That's part of your homework.

I'm sorry. I was going to tell you. Hey, you're always messing up my class.

I can mess up your clothes. Okay. Ignore.

This is a time when you should ignore the llama. Okay. Okay.

What's Pinson. What's Pinson by itself. Yeah.

I don't know who said that, but you're right. And then me too. Non harmonious.

Not in accord. Yeah. Exclusive.

Right. Oh, there's another way to say that, but yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, there's probably. Yeah. Yeah.

Maybe. Okay. This is supposed to be an exercise, but what's the definition of.

Need some drawer. Well, Crossing to another self. Absolutely nothing.

There is no such thing. Okay. This is supposed to.

This is supposed to highlight how we need to find mistakes in texts very often. And guess what? You're very good at finding mistakes in texts.

Thank you. Thank you. Oh, what's the, what's it supposed to be.

Okay. And what's that. What's that mean.

Everybody knows. Right guys. Let's stick on to the next.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Crossing to the next.

By the way, where that mistake is so common. That I had for a couple of years, I thought it might be a dumb car. Oh, Okay.

So just. Consider the. It's a remote possibility, but it's a possibility that it's an acceptable.

Variant, you know, it's so common. Probably, maybe you can check the Sanskrit and give us a suggestion. You know, Does it have to do with such, or does it have to do with heart?

You know, And those could even be exchangeable in a certain. Yeah. You know, both those words.

[Speaker 3]
Yeah.

[Speaker 1]
I, I, for many years, I thought maybe it's a dumb car. I'm not sure. Oh yeah.

I was thinking that last class, because we had the same exact mistake in those both. Those texts. Exactly.

Yeah. And I, I thought to look, but I haven't looked yet. Okay.

Okay. What's the last. One.

This one's kind of hard, but we ran kind of running out of stuff to. Stick in there. So.

That is a tough one. Yeah. It came up a couple of times.

It's hard, but I don't know. But it's very useful. Yeah.

For our texts. It's very useful. Any idea.

[Speaker 3]
I'm not sure, but the words themselves. Right.

[Speaker 1]
Try the words themselves for a heck of a.

[Speaker 3]
Doc is like this.

[Speaker 1]
Obstruction or something like that. Yeah. And then.

Is like something that's made manifest. And say as long as a life, like. Yeah.

If you give me the. If you give me the other meaning of say. At the time.

Oh, yeah. Good. I still can't.

Put together the whole phrase. It's hard. I wouldn't.

I mean, guess what did this one? Guess what? I found the.

For. Wow. Cool.

Yeah. Apparently it's. Sunday.

Sunday. So the name is. Probably a translation of the.

Right. Like, like, so, so like. Individual.

It doesn't help though. It doesn't. Yeah.

Not yet. Yeah. Good luck.

[Speaker 2]
As they come to a close.

[Speaker 1]
Yay. We gave, we gave her time. Until that time when they come to a close, it's from our verse.

And that is that. Thank you so much. Hi.

Okay. Welcome back. Timothy.

I have to put a chat question for you. Yes. Shall I just write it to you or should.

You can tell me. I am not sure what's happening this evening during that event.

[Speaker 3]
It's a, it's being run by Dr. Wu.

[Speaker 1]
Okay. Then I'm not going to sleep. Okay.

That's all I wanted to know. Jimmy, do you know if it's what's the. Is it 11 to 12?

It's just an hour.

[Speaker 3]
It's supposed to be. I'm not going. Cause I got a teacher.

I got to give thousands. 6 AM.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. All right. I, I, I foolishly agreed to go.

Do you want to talk about that proposal? Or do you want to cook it or. I'll talk about it.

Okay. You go for it. Okay.

You can share the screen if you want. Yeah. I got it queued.

I'll share. Okay. I want to introduce it.

Word was asking me, is there any way he could make his Tibetan better? And go deeper in his Tibetan knowledge. And I said, you don't.

You shouldn't because it's too much money. So we canceled it. Just kidding.

Okay, go ahead. By the way, word. Can I, can I share my screen?

Yes, sir. Okay. I just added some stuff to your proposal.

Okay. All right. I'm sorry.

I couldn't get it into a PDF. It was messed up. Something wrong with the PDF maker.

Okay. Here we go. Okay.

Do you want to use this one word? I think you can figure it out. Yeah, I can figure it out.

Okay. Okay. So, as you all know, I'm a big nerd and I love Tibetan.

So, I wanted ways to go deeper in my studies. And there's not that many places to learn this stuff, actually. I think there's four.

Densetsun and the Mixed Nuts. Yeah, yeah.

[Speaker 3]
It's true.

[Speaker 1]
And so, yeah, just stuff to do in between terms and stuff. So, Keshla recommended, of course, a project that plants seeds. So, it will be multilayered.

And basically, we want to do something involving a sera, where the people from our college, Gelrung, right, Keshla? Yeah, that's the Kansan, yeah. Yeah, Kansan, yeah.

So, the idea is that Gelrung House, which is our traditional house at the monastery, can help us by debating with us or, you know, whoever's available or we'll figure something out with Yuntan and the other pre-Geshe candidates such that we can just engage them and they can engage us on whatever level we're able to engage, which will vary for all of us and for the subject matter. So that we can go deeper with our studies and debate because it's a crucial part of our Buddhist education that is now missing, especially with the Zoom action and so forth. And along with that, we want to do a social outreach program, as we are like to do, at the monastery as well.

So, you know, so we will continue to plant, you know, good karmic seeds via this project as well. Keshla, you said super ladies, did you pick the project? I'm talking about the ALL ladies.

Okay, good. Okay, so. Yeah.

So, yeah. Okay. Go ahead.

We're paying about 20 ladies in one of the refugee camps. We are paying them to tithe for over 30 years. And Word and I were thinking about what's a four-step program we can do to learn better.

And they are now, they are a force in their local community. Those ladies have been sitting in those rooms for 32 years, saving their culture, and they are powerful. They are a powerful bunch of ladies.

And I thought we could ask them, what's a four-step program that we could do through you and team up with you? Like, I don't know, clean water in the community or solar panels in the community or stuff like that. Okay?

Perfect. And then lastly, some of you know that I've been working on this text in Tibetan, it's the Tsingzuo Chemo. And in English, it's the Great Dictionary.

I've been working on that text for six long years. And recently, I just completed the section on inputting the Chinese. For all of our Chinese listeners, that's where I'm getting the definitions that I'm putting in the chat, mostly.

And so now, I've been typecasted. So Geshe-la's like, oh, I've got more dictionaries for you to look at. So Lokesh Chandra famously wrote a Tibetan Sanskrit dictionary, which needs some work so it can be more easily, so things can be more easily searched in it.

And then also, Geshe-la would like me to take the reins on a hypertexting dictionary, which is basically taking all of our material, our meaning, Geshe-la's material, like the ACI courses, and even the Mixed Nuts eventually material, and putting it together such that it's searchable with the English. And then combining those as one tool, and eventually as an electronic tool, where people can just put in the English and get Tibetan out, and vice versa, and so forth. So we are in talks about that already.

Me, Nick, John Campbell, and Ben Kramer have been discussing that. And so the idea, oh, Geshe-la, I did talk to Champa at Rashi Gampaling. Okay, great.

Yeah, he said, well, in person, he said after the pandemic, but I guess we could do Zoom before the pandemic. Yeah, you know, to be honest, what you need to do is to find something to talk about. Maybe it would be, my idea about the Super Ladies Project is that you get a grant from the DCI Four Steps Jewel.

What's the jewel in the Four Steps Jewel Department? This is the new DCI organization structure. There's a Four Steps Jewel Department.

Hey, word, you don't know Arabic? No, all I know is Habibi. That's Nour.

[Speaker 3]
Oh, Nour.

[Speaker 1]
That's awesome. Nour is going to run that department for DCI. And DCI is going to make grants to different projects.

So you can get a Nour grant, I hope. You can talk to her. Okay.

Maybe it's solar panels, maybe it's water, maybe it's, I don't know, COVID stuff. But what I'm saying is, if you really want to improve your scripture, then there's a couple of things you have to do. Number one, debating is the all-time best thing you can do.

But number two, talking to people about something meaningful. You see what I mean? I always used to think when we traveled around the world for DCI, it was fun to be in those different cities because I was not a tourist.

I was working there. I had a reason to be there. And the experience is completely different.

You can sit and you can do online courses and Tibetans will talk to you online. But what my experience at the monastery was, if you have a real project that you're working on, then you can talk to the ladies every couple of days. And you can say, did you find the solar panels?

How much were they? Where are you going to get them? And you do it all in Tibetan.

And then your Tibetan gets scary, scarily good. Okay, so that's the idea. Hey, you forgot this upper right-hand corner here.

What's that one? That's a new one. Yeah, that's a new one.

Oh yeah, Geshe-la introduced us to this amazing Tibetan grammar book. And in it are these adages, sayings from Tibet, which are very important in Tibetan culture. They're important in like every culture.

Chinese has some amazing ones too. By the way, which one did you learn this week from grandpa? We learned...

Chak Chepala? Not in that book. Chak Chepala Parke, Chak Chepala Gupke.

Yay! I learned it. I learned my first one.

Yeah, you can take the rest of the week off. This content debate, I'm willing to sponsor it, okay? I think we should pay the people you debate with.

I think we should pay the ladies who work on the community project. And if you end up talking to the Mongolian monks, I think you should pay them. It's just polite since they are so desperate for money.

They all need money badly, okay? Sometimes I feel guilty that we are so fortunate and then they really need money, okay? All right.

Okay. Yay! Okay.

Gibson, criticize this human computer. By the way, Word is happy to have anyone participate with him. I would add that I think Ben and Nick, if Word commits to this project, you should commit for a certain time frame.

Like I'll try six months on this project. I'll try two months on this project. Then Nick and Ben have to figure out how to make sure he doesn't poop out.

Really? It's just the organizational structure thing, you know? If I'm going to give a grant through the Noor Grants, or I'm going to give a grant through the Grandpa Grants, I want someone to just check in every couple weeks for 10 minutes and say, you know, show me what you're doing, Word.

I want to make sure you're not stealing the rest of Grandpa's money that you didn't already steal. All right. Here we go.

Perfect. Thank you. Okay.

Yeah, by the way, I forgot to mention one more thing. On that, what do you call, hypertexting project, which is to create a dictionary from your guys' translations, Adam spent many years on it. Ben spent many years on it.

Nick spent many years on it. Yoram and Israel spent many years on it. I think Yoram and Israel finished hypertexting all 18 Foundation ACI courses.

So you can work together with those guys, okay? Me too. Yeah, cool.

And we revive this project every few years, and that's okay. Let's revive it again, because the dictionary created from your translations will be the most valuable dictionary in the world. And by the way, we had a project to offer the dictionary for free to Google Translate, and they accepted it, but we just haven't followed up.

Which means that you would define much of the world's use of the Tibetan, okay? Cool. Here we go.

We invited them in their headquarters, and they agreed to work with us, okay? All right, here we go. Oh, sorry.

THUG NYAM MI RGYUN DE GYI DBANG DU BYAS NI DE SKYE ZHES KYI That description that I just gave you, which was in a quotation, right, is with respect to cause and effect as they are THUG NYAM. As they are happening at the same time. Yeah, and we had this discussion in whose text?

We had it in my text, part of the factors. Somebody's talking about mountain and plants. Oh, mine?

[Speaker 3]
The dependence?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah.

[Speaker 3]
Mine too, but not mountains and plants.

[Speaker 1]
So there's a kind of dependence going on in the KUN ZHI, which is simultaneous. And as Sugeng's text pointed out, there's another kind of dependence, which is... What do you call it?

Progressive. Progressive. Successive, yeah.

Successive. Okay. So when that text is saying that the six consciousnesses and KUN ZHI have a mutual relationship, they're talking about the six consciousnesses helping to keep the old seeds alive and the new KUN ZHI accepting new imprints.

And then MI NYAM PA'I DBANG DU BYAS NA Now there's also an aspect of this process which is sequential. It's not... What do you call it?

What's the opposite? Progressive, right? It's not simultaneous.

It's not simultaneous. It's sequential. First the cause happens, then the result happens.

What is it? When the SEMS CI MA'I KUN ZHI, NA MAN CHAG RGYUD PA'I SA BON Somebody's going to have to plant seeds in your current KUN ZHI to make sure you have a KUN ZHI... Later.

Yeah, later in next life. SEMS CI MA'I. By the way, those of you who know DCI, that's the famous answer I got when I asked an elderly monk how long it would take me to make money planting seeds.

And he said, next life. But we improved that. All right.

Okay, so SA BON YANG SBYOR PA CHOG CHED DO Don't forget, we are also in the process of planting seeds to create the KUN ZHI of the future to hold the seeds of the future. Yay. Keep going.

Gibson. Oh, Alex. Alex Rivas.

Yay. Yay. SEY YAN PEN SEY THANG NGO WAKPO RANG NYI KEN GAK KHLEN CHIK DU CHE PE GO WAR CHE TE PER NA THIL DANG NAMA NYI KHLEN CHIK DU NE TE KEN GAK CHE PE CHI ME TOK TE MED KYANG MTHIL LA MI RTOG GI DRI GYES SU RGYUG PA ZHING NO Good.

This is a difficult Tibetan. DE YONG BSTEN DA'I SGO BA PO The BSTEN means the place where we are going to smear the new seeds, the sweater. And the SGO BA PO meaning the perfume sprayer.

Okay. They have a relationship where they are coming in and out of existence simultaneously from one point of view. And what that means is GAG PA SNGON DU CHOG PA.

The imprinter is GAG PA SNGON DU CHOG PA just before the imprint is finished. What's that mean? It was one of words, vocabulary words.

Oh, just as it comes to a close and the next one starts. Or the seed is imprinted, see what I mean? So at the end of the perfume spray where you put your finger down, it's the final few millimeters that sprays the...

Okay. So there's this relationship between the imprinting place, which is the BSTEN, the place where you're planting the seeds, and the imprinter, which is for example, lying or planning a charity for needy people, which we just did. And just as you come to the conclusion of the action, that plants the seed.

So in one sense, they are coming and going, coming in and out of existence together. Why? Why necessarily so?

So they... The planter and the place that's being planted are coming and going, coming into existence and going out of existence together. Why is that necessary?

It's the same. What's that? It's the same place, they're both the same place.

If you put a finger imprint on your palm, right? Yeah. Why do they have to exist at the same time?

Because they're both the same place. Because there has to be an imprinter to imprint the imprint while it's in place. Yeah, okay.

If they don't exist at the same time, how are you going to imprint them? Okay, got it? So their cycles of birth and stopping have to match.

They have to match up. Okay, okay. And that's how you goerche.

That's how you plant. And that's how you make an imprint. Then he's going to give an example, okay?

Perna, for example. Let's talk about til seeds and nama. What's that?

Sesame and jasmine. Yeah, let's talk about... Like somebody gave me this awesome...

Anjali gave me this awesome bag. I think it's beans or something. I think I mentioned it.

And there's lavender in it. And you put it in the microwave for two minutes and then you lay down on it and it's awesome. So, you know, til is like the beans and nama, jasmine, is like the lavender.

And the lavender scent is, what do you call it? Infused into the beans. In this case, the smell of the jasmine is infused into the sesame seeds, okay?

But they both have to be there at the same time for there to be infusion, okay? Got it? GZHAN ZHIG DU GNAD STE They must be there together, which is what we mean when we say going in and out of existence together.

When we say going in and out of existence together, what we mean is they both got to be there at the same time for the smell to be imparted to the sesame, okay? Good. Good.

But that doesn't exclude what? Simultaneity? No, that is the simultaneity.

Oh, I see. But that doesn't exclude- Something happening after the progression. Good, yeah.

Rather than the simultaneous, what do we call it, consecutive? Sequential. Sequential, I love that.

Simultaneous as opposed to sequential. The relationship between the seeds and kung shi is both simultaneous and sequential, okay? How is it simultaneous?

It's similar to when the jasmine is lying in a bag of sesame seeds, then the sesame seeds are getting imprinted for as long as the jasmine petals are in the sesame seed bag, okay? But later on, by the way, who gave us a famous chi? That chi was in- Come on, come on.

Someone's book, they were talking, Stanley's book? No, mine. Come on, you guys.

You guys, you know, you forget things the next day. Yeah, one thing happens later. It's the later, there was a later joke.

Yeah, that's the boundary. I forgot later. Yeah, they were trying to decide whether dependent origination was sequential or simultaneous.

And what did Vasubandhu say? Simultaneous. I'll tell you later.

Okay, he said, chi, chi, shepa jawa. I'll tell you later on, okay? It was a joke, okay.

Okay, so later on, what happens? There's no mettox, but the till still has the mettox chima. Yeah, the mettox are gone.

The flowers are gone, but the sesame seed still has the smell of the flowers imbued in it. Yeah, now word. God, I don't want to give you more money.

Okay, a hundred bucks, a hundred bucks. Relate this to your last class. Okay, my last class.

Take your time, take your time. Don't rush. My last class.

Well, we're talking about the kunshi, right? Yep. You've been talking about the kunshi for four years, honey.

Hey, hey, hey, you said take my time, I'm taking my time. So we're talking about imprinting it, right? Yeah, you're on the right track.

There was a quotation, I think. Oh, so the kunshi can, the six consciousnesses and the kunshi could either be conditions for each other. Good, which is what we're calling simultaneous, right?

Simultaneous, or the sequential. Yeah, or sequential, where the six consciousnesses are producing seeds to assure the, the six consciousnesses, oh, the continuation of the- Great, perfect, perfect. Yeah, you earned a hundred dollars.

No, not quite, not quite, not quite, not quite. I want to know how it relates to til and metok. Okay, so til and metok- Which mean what, just for our listeners?

Sesame seed is til and metok, in this case is jasmine, jasmine flower. Okay, petals, jasmine petals. Petals, yeah.

They can simultaneously be affecting one another. Great. Just like the beans and the lavender in your bag in the microwave, or the flowers can imbue a smell upon the sesame and then the smell can remain even after the flowers are gone.

Yay. Now, just tell me what the flowers are in our extended metaphor here. They are the seeds planted by the- By the six consciousnesses.

Good, to assure the- Continuation of the kunshi. Of kunshi into your next life, after Nyingsamjoro. Okay, after Nyingsamjoro.

Good, great. We got through it. Okay, I got to ask one more question though.

Okay. What is the til after the petals are gone? It must be the Britain.

Nope. Really? What did the flower petals do?

Oh, oh, all the flower petals imbued a flavor onto the neutral kunshi. Well, no, let's say the til represents the assured, the sesame seed in the future represents what in our metaphor? Our future kunshi, our future lives.

Yeah, our future kunshi, good, good. Why doesn't, okay, I'm making you earn your money, okay? Why doesn't that kunshi of the future still have the smell of the jasmine?

Why doesn't it or why does it? Oh yeah, I guess you say why doesn't, oops. But anyway, I'm going to answer my own question.

In the metaphor, the smell is the seeds that were planted for the future kunshi and those seeds are gone as you approach death. Right?

[Speaker 3]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah. Just as you're about to die, the last seeds of previous kunshi run out and the new kunshi begins. Okay, so you earned $100.

You really earned it. You worked for every part of it.

[Speaker 3]
Yay.

[Speaker 1]
I needed your help, thank you. That's the way it should be. Some people say nama means nutmeg, but I prefer jasmine.

And we use jasmine in the key. So in some senses, we're kind of locked into what we used in the key. And it would make sense for a metal.

Well, I mean, you could have a nutmeg flower too, I guess. Yeah, but I doubt that the smell is powerful as the finished herb, right? Yeah.

Okay, here we go. By the way, these next two paragraphs are a quotation from that commentary to the Mahayana Sangraha that the catalog guys said, we doubt it's a Vasa Bandhu, but we don't know who it is. Okay.

We had it before a lot, right, I guess. So here's two. Here's an extended quotation from that commentary to a Sangha's Mahasangraha.

The collection, what do you call it? The collection of the teachings of Vasa Bandhu. Compendium of the greater way.

Okay, here we go. Okay. Who's checking you is, I saw somebody, Haso, you're just not working so hard today, come on.

Oh, Haso's going to do the first paragraph and Nicole's going to do the second paragraph. Are we supposed to? Oh, okay.

Okay. Okay. Zipa panchokpe go ne so.

Good, good. Stake it, the same thoughts are expressed in the following quotation. Okay, that's not part of the quotation.

Then he says, the jupit numbers shape a trug, right? Which means what? The enter?

No, engaging in their objects. By the way, that's a code word for the sixth. For the sixth, yeah.

The engaging consciousnesses provide the kin in the second one. The conditions. They provide the conditions for kunshi number shape a.

Foundation consciousness. In two different ways. Number nyi kyi.

Okay. The same, we're talking about the same image with the sesame seeds and the jasmine, okay? Now, Mr. Kramer's going to quote the Yoga Sutra for tongway chö for $30.

[Speaker 2]
I don't think that's true.

[Speaker 1]
I need the whole line.

[Speaker 2]
Tongway chö.

[Speaker 1]
Tongway chö. Oh, it's the third verse, Ben. No, no, it's dursta dursta, right?

Yeah, dursta dursta, dursta a dursta. And then what? Two more words.

[Speaker 2]
Janma vedanya, huh?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, janma vedanya. Okay. Please stop that hustle.

All right. Okay, sorry. Yeah, so janma, sorry.

Dursta means seen in? This life. This life.

A dursta means? Any other life after that? Yeah, seen in the future life, okay?

So now, perfect. We have the perfect words to describe what's happening with our sesame seeds, okay? As far as tongway chö, what's happening during the simultaneous period, okay, is the sovereigns are youngs of sowa, okay?

The seeds of the current kunshi are being refreshed or strengthened, okay, yeah, okay. And then the seeds for the tsechima kunshi. Next slide.

Yeah, the seeds which are going to bring about number dupa, your kunshi for your next life, well, those seeds are also being jokpa. They're also being planted, okay? But more in the sense of yongsu dzinpa than in the sense of yongsu sowa.

So yongsu dzinpa means they are being created and other seeds are being, what do you call that? Nurtured, okay? Replenished or?

Yeah, replenished is good, okay, yeah. All right, cool. Now we have Nicole's checking, yay.

Yay.

[Speaker 3]
Yay.

[Speaker 1]
Nicole, I'm going to make one mistake, okay? Yeah, and it's going to cost all the money he made this term. Okay, Nicole.

Listen, Nicole. Teichir tongway chöla sabun yongsu ye na jita jitar kunshi nampar shipa la tenpe gewa tang migewa tang lung tumat tenpa njungwa detar ranggi ten la len chik Len?

[Speaker 3]
Len?

[Speaker 1]
Len. chik chungwa tang rakpe gowa jeto sheso. Okay, nice, nice, nice.

So the tongway chöla sabun, what's that mean? The ones from this life that you can see. Yeah, I gave you a note there.

Now let's talk about the, let's talk about how your different awarenesses of what you see, blah, blah, blah, are planting seeds in the current kunshi, okay? Yongsu ye na, they are sowa, they are nourishing those seeds, okay? Jita jitar goes with detar detar, okay?

Word, you see it? Yeah. At the end of the first line, jita jitar goes with detar detar, okay?

And what it means is, according to the way the first happens, then the second's going to happen, okay? Yeah. According to whether you do good deeds or bad deeds, okay, relative to this kunshi, okay?

Whether in the current moment, in this life, whether you do good deeds or bad deeds, or neutral, okay? Then accordingly, detar detar, okay? Accordingly, those imprinters are going to come up and pass away as the virtue and non-virtue comes up, is planted, okay?

When you're finished planting a good karma, then that imprinter passes. And then you go on to a bad karma, and then there's a new imprinter for that one, and then when the bad karmic seed is planted, the imprinter passes, okay? Got it?

That's describing the simultaneous relationship and not the, what's the other one? Sequential. Sequential relationship, cool?

And there's the quotation, okay? And it's clean, okay? It's clean, all right?

Yay. Okay, I think we're out of time. No?

Or three minutes? Three minutes. Okay, please read.

And grandpa's going to correct you. Wrong. Wrong.

Wrong. Goshi telachita bu shiko shena. Yeah, you tell me what it says.

You may ask yourself, how would we describe this imprintable place that the kunshi is describing? Yeah, what kind of place do you mean? Why didn't he say shena, Z-H-E?

He usually says shena. Because when there's a secondary suffix, the she becomes a she. Yeah, good, good.

What else was I going to ask you? Yeah, oh, I was going to say, tell me what the sweater is like, okay? Can you describe the sweater to me?

All right, I got the imprinter, I'm clear on that. You talked about the seeds, I'm okay with that. But can you talk about the sweater which you either spray with perfume or you rub a dead?

Fish on it. Fish on it, okay. Tell me about the sweater, okay?

Tell me about this porous thing that takes the seeds, okay? Here we go. Should we skip the, you want to do the root first?

Let's skip it, yeah, okay. Let's not let the cat out of the bag, okay? We're in IB.

Wow. Now, Je Tsongkhapa has this thing where he will weave into some of his books almost direct quotation, but he doesn't tell you, okay? And it's a fun exercise.

When you feel that he's doing that, when you sense that he's using older words in a forced word order, you get clues that he's trying to insert another section from another ancient book. And that's what happened on this one. If you are very sensitive to Tibetan, you can tell he's trying to impose the structure of an ancient book on his book, okay?

But when he doesn't tell you, okay? And luckily I found it. Okay, here we go.

Um, k'ipa nga tang ten pa shik go shir njok go ko nga kang shen na. Translate. So there are the- The sweater.

The imprintable place, the sweater, possesses five features. Good, nice. I love the word features and thank you for using it.

Yeah. Great, and you may ask, what are those five? Yeah, what are the five features that the sweater has to have, okay?

Well, here's the first one. Let me bump this down for you. Okay, here we go.

Oh, wait, who's checking? Roxana, who's Roxana? I'm not quite sure who Roxana is.

You wanna try?

[Speaker 3]
She's translating.

[Speaker 1]
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Okay, I won't bother her. That's okay.

I won't bother you. I'm gonna try. Is Tang Tang translating?

Nope. Is she asleep? Nope.

Okay.

[Speaker 2]
I'm here.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, pick on word, okay? Be my representative to irritate word. We're over time, Geshe-la.

Aiya. Okay, Tang Tang, just irritate him all week, okay? It's all right.

Will do. All right, thank you very much. He deserves it.

Stop here. If anybody wants to, especially if you're listening in on this class and you want to improve your Tibetan, I strongly encourage you to irritate word to get some of those other projects going, okay? And the money is there.

You know, I can support it or DCI can support it. But you guys have to do the work, okay? All right.

Geshe-la, guess what I found in Lokesh Chandra? What? Ni samjorwa.
