Серия «Сутра Алмазного огранщика» — Мастер Камалашила: медитации на «Сутру Алмазного огранщика», часть вторая (Аризона, 2016), занятие 3

[Speaker 1]
Sit up straight, relax your limbs, bring to mind the part of you that you enjoy, and it could be something about your physical appearance. By the way, it's not my fault, that's where they started in the sutra. We'll go to your mind later.

And try to think, what pattern of thinking is it that I've been doing most of my life that allows my mind to glue together the images which appear in front of it? What is it that I've done towards others my whole life that has allowed me to see my left arm connected to my right arm, and my eyes and my nose on my face? What is it that allows me to perceive that, and it's kindness.

It's a pattern of, maybe it's imperfect kindness, but your whole life you've been attracted to helping other people, and that's why you can see your face in a mirror, that's why you can walk or drive or learn, is only because of those seeds. Those seeds make your life coherent. They tie your life together.

If you didn't have those seeds, you would be what we call senile or insane. So here we go. Appreciate the proof of your kindness.

You have a face, you have a body, and it was created, it was glued together by kindness towards others. So try to think about it. Think about kindness as you do.

And try to understand that it keeps your world from being chaos.

[Speaker 2]
Please come back to your breath. Three long breaths. Three long exhales.

Don't move yet. And then relax. Take a stretch if you like.
