[Speaker 1]
I think we stopped at 3.32, you guys, am I right? Really? Yeah, that's okay.

I don't mind to start there. Okay, then the lady says, who is she talking to? For zero dollars.

The devil, yeah, in English. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. She's talking misunderstanding.

And she says, by the way, I heard you guys finished some images? Image for FlowDot, right? And I heard I get to see them tomorrow?

Is that right? From each house. And I heard it went very well.

But I will judge tomorrow. Okay. So, yeah.

She calls him arrogant. You think you're a master, you're not a master. You lack, no, we did cover this.

You lack good qualities and you don't have the things that bring you those good qualities, like meditation. Alright, now we'll start on 3.32. You say that nothing depends on anything else. You say that things are unchanging.

You say they are firm. And you say they are solid. Did he say that?

Does the bad part of your own mind, does it think nothing's going to change? Not directly. Good answer.

Over there, some guy over there. Yeah. Of course you understand things change.

Like, I don't know, you get hungry after lunch and they make you sit in these long classes and you get more and more hungry. Your hunger changes. Nobody can say things don't change.

Ignorance doesn't say things don't change. He never said that. Why is she accusing him of that?

My teacher in the Geshe course, if one person give all the answers, he will say, did you elect him to answer all your questions for you? Yeah, they did. Okay.

Anyway, listen, if things are not coming from your seeds, if things are not coming from your seeds, they would never change. In your mind, you think things are coming from the outside to the inside. A hundred bucks for the Tibetan word.

Not you. Huh? I unelected him.

In this country you can win the most votes and you still don't get to be president. Is it DONG ZIN? Huh?

What? DONG ZIN? No.

Come on. DONG ZIN? The person who thinks everything is coming this way.

Geshe knows everything. He's your student. SOR DONG over here.

You got a hundred bucks. Yeah, SOR means incoming. Incoming, from the object to the I.

DONG means that's how you see things. So what's an Arya? Arya means somebody who's touched the diamond world directly.

You saw emptiness directly. And then SOR DONG is the opposite. SOR DONG means not Arya.

They think the world is coming this way. They don't understand the world is coming this way. Which leads me to another question.

How's my cash doing? It's all right? Okay, I trust you.

Ready? This is easy money. You're going to...

If your family says, why you took a week off to go to Diamond Mountain? You can say, I made more money than at my job. Okay.

Here's the question, you ready? How many times in the Diamond Cutter Sutra does it mention diamond? Raise your hand.

Zero. Who said?

[Speaker 2]
Y'all said. Don't.

[Speaker 1]
Okay. A hundred bucks. What I'm trying to say is the...

Okay, since you're the ex-12 year director of this place, you can answer two more questions for the money. What's the Sanskrit for diamond? And what's the English word related to it?

[Speaker 2]
The Sanskrit word is bhajra.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, bhajra. Which means power, instrument of power, bhajra.

[Speaker 2]
Veggies.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, vegetable. Okay, vegetable. Okay.

Why, in ancient times, they agreed with my wife, and they said vegetables make you powerful. Vegetables make you strong. They believed that in ancient times.

I mean, not nowadays. Okay. So anyway, bhajra.

Anytime you see diamond, anytime you see somebody talking about diamond, you have to ask, why is everybody talking about diamonds? Now you're in a Diamond Way class. Diamond Way person means suspicious person.

Oh, Buddha's trying to send me a message. Somebody asks you, why they call it Diamond Cutter Sutra, and you say, it's a message. Okay, understand?

That's Diamond Way answer. Does the Diamond in Diamond Cutter Sutra have anything to do with Diamond Way? If you're not in a Diamond Way class, you're supposed to say, uh-uh.

And if you are in a Diamond Way class, you're supposed to say, of course, it's some kind of message. Alright, got it? Anyway, if someone could give me, I don't know, it's too much money, but let's just answer a question without money, okay?

She accuses the devil that he believes nothing ever changes. He believes that. She says you believe nothing ever changes.

Why would she say that? Say it into the microphone just for your teacher and not for financial gain. Hand raise?

May I get? There's certain people who have to pay the teacher $100 to give an answer. Okay, okay.

Now, don't forget the question. The question is, why does the angel accuse misunderstanding? Why does she tell him, you think nothing changes?

Of course he doesn't think that. You and me, we lived for many years without touching the Diamond World, maybe. Then why does, do we believe nothing changes?

Because we can see things change every moment. Daran? She's accusing the devil of falling into one of the extremes, of falling into one of the extremes.

The extreme view, if you think things are self-existent, coming from their own side, then the result of that belief must be that things don't change. So therefore, if he's saying things are the way they are, you have to believe on some level things are changing. Okay, good.

If you believe things are coming this way, and I ask you, do you believe they never change? You say, no, of course I know things change, but not really. If the thing exists from its own side, it could not change.

It would never change. It could not change. If it's not coming from your seeds, why do things change?

Your seeds change. When the seed makes the tree, what happens to the seed? It's gone.

The seed gives its energy to the tree, and then the tree, it uses the energy to grow, and then the tree dies. If things come from your seeds, they can be impermanent. They can die.

But if they don't come from your seeds, why should they change? If they're coming this way, what can make them change? So she's accusing him.

You're the guy who thinks nothing changes. And he's like, I never said that. Yeah, but you think it.

You believe that. Got it? Cool.

All right. Then he accused her of not having any friends. Okay?

He accused her of not having any friends. He accused her of being a lonely person. He accused her of never coming home.

Where's home? In the human mind. You never show up.

Once a year when you're at Diamond Mountain in the middle of the class, you think about emptiness. And then the rest of the time you're just worrying about how irritating somebody is. You see what I mean?

So he accused her of being a loner. She doesn't have any friends. She never even comes home to her husband.

Like that, okay? Then what did she say? It's not me who doesn't have friends.

It's you that don't have friends. Why? Because all the friends you think you have don't even exist.

Next time you get in a fight with your husband, you can try that. Probably just get confused. If things are not coming from you, they can't exist.

Number one, they cannot change. And then number two, they couldn't exist anymore. You know the two husbands in the kitchen, right?

The husband who is hurting you even though you didn't do anything. There's no such thing. I didn't do anything.

We need, where's... Ayrton when you need him. He's so good at it.

He's like, I didn't do anything. I think he must use it at home. I don't know.

Don't tell him. Anyway. The wife says, my husband just started yelling at me, but I didn't do anything.

In this system, if the pain is coming from you, then the husband is coming from you. The husband saying something to you is coming from you. Then you're going to get upset.

If you understand where it's coming from, you can change it. If you don't understand, he will last forever and he doesn't exist. He's a thing that lasts forever and doesn't exist.

Pretty cool, right? Alright. Then she's, he told her, you don't have any friends.

She says, I'm friends with everybody. Don't say I don't have any friends. Everyone in the world is my friend.

I get along with everybody. Who's talking? Yeah, an angel who understands seeds.

Everybody in the world is my friend. I love everybody and they love me because I'm real, because I'm coming from seeds. I have real relationships that come from seeds.

When I get into a relationship, I take care of it by honoring other people's relationships. I don't yell at my husband. I just be, I honor the relationship.

I keep my promises and I force him to keep his. Got it? Very interesting.

Therefore, I get along with everybody. It means if you understand that things come from seeds, you can be close to everything because that's real. That's the real world.

That's the only real world. Got it? It's not that pens come from seeds.

It's that everything comes from seeds. If you don't understand that, you are living in an unreal place. You are living in a place that doesn't exist.

Then you're kind of crazy, which means 8 billion people are crazy, apparently, or they're Buddhists. I mean, I didn't say they were, but I didn't say they weren't. Now, next one she says, she's on this idea of friendship.

She's on this idea that people are naturally friends. Everyone's close to me because they depend on me. We depend, they depend on me.

How does the world depend on me? Yeah, my seeds. The world depends on me.

Don't tell me I don't have any friends. Next time your husband says that, don't tell me I don't have any friends. I have lots of friends.

Everything depends on me because my mind is making everything. Now, I think here's a $100 question. Everybody's like, ding.

Okay, here we go. He says, you're a loner, you're a loser, you don't have any friends, you show up in the mind once a year when you go to Dime Mountain for five minutes, and mostly you're just out there on your own, you don't have any friends, okay? He accuses her.

Then she says, no, no, no, I'm friends with everybody. And he says, why? How?

And she says, everybody's friends with me because they come from me, okay? The pen and everybody else comes from me. Therefore, they like me.

They're friends. They're friends of mine. Okay, got it?

Now, that's called dependent. Dependence, okay? But there's a deeper idea.

You want to go there? It's interdependence. I'll make it simple.

The pen depends on your seeds. You want it super simple or kind of simple? Kind of simple, okay.

The pen depends on your seeds. Therefore, the pen is your friend. Sorry, you're the friend of the pen because without you, the friend can't be there.

Okay, got it? But he's also your friend. The pen is also your friend.

It's an interdependent, pratityasamutpada, interdependent. It's not dependent origination. It's interdependent origination.

The seed, the tree depends on, listen, I'll make it simple. A hundred bucks. The tree depends on the seed and the seed depends on the tree.

But how can that be the tree came after the seed? A hundred dollars. Your seed created the picture of the tree and the seed and then your seed, your mental picture how do you relate them as a cause and effect?

Good. I'll refine it a moment, okay? The seed creates the tree, obviously, but the tree also creates the seed because you cannot call ...

Can you call ... You cannot call a seed the cause of the tree before the tree exists. Nice, a hundred dollars.

Thank you. Your seeds made the pen, but your pen made the seed cease. Okay?

Your seeds made the pen, but the pen made the seed cease. That's real dependent origination. Mutual, mutual, both ways.

Everybody's going like this. Oh, I made the pen, I made the pen, but the pen made your seeds. Because they can't be seeds until they make something.

Got it? Diamond Way, Diamond Mountain, Diamond Way student says, the pen is all seeds, and everybody else knows the secret. Okay?

Normal DCI student, everything comes from the seeds, everything comes from the seeds, okay? Diamond Mountain, Diamond Way, Master, Five House Master, everything, the pen comes from me. The pen comes from my seeds.

Got it? New mudra. AR GOM PA DE'I BUL PAS NUS PA'I AR NUS PA'I NUS PA'I GZHAN DU AA HUNG Okay, I make the pen, and the pens come from my seeds, and my seeds are seeds because of the pens.

Okay? When you think about dependent origination, it's both ways. Okay, and that's deeper, and they don't usually teach it.

People don't usually teach it. But it's true. $500, even word.

What's the ancient example for that seed thing?

[Speaker 2]
The pot, like a triangle, the spheres.

[Speaker 1]
Spheres, good, $500. Okay, in ancient language, they call it the sphere example. Sphere example, okay?

So in the ancient war, they don't have guns. They have spheres. And at the tip of the sphere, later they put metal.

They'd have a stick, and they have metal on the tip, and they'd throw the sphere at people, right? Even in a war, you got to take a break for breakfast, or lunch, okay? So there's kind of an agreement during these terrible ancient battles.

They all say, let's take off for lunch. Let's take a lunch break. And they all run back to their camp, and they start a fire, and they start cooking something.

And they always, no good fighter puts their sphere on the ground, because then the metal will get rusty, and it will break. So they always pile their spheres like this, and they support each other. It takes two guys to put the spheres.

They have to support their spheres. What's the example? Yeah, the pen depends on the seeds, and the seeds depend on the pen.

It's mutual, mutual interdependence. Mutual dependence, okay? You got to remember that, okay?

Your husband comes from you, but you also come from your husband, because there's no you without your husband to come from you, okay? And by the way, when you have trouble with another person, you're messing around with this relationship. Something's wrong.

Obviously it's a problem if you think the other person doesn't come from you, but you also have to understand that you come from them. So if you're always accusing somebody, you're messed up, then what do you really think? I'm messed up, okay?

It goes both ways, okay? It's very, it's really true. Because the tree defines the seed, if another person that you have a relationship is messed up, that's a proof that you're messed up, okay?

And that's hard, that's a hard thing to, if someone tells you all the assholes you ever met were coming from you, you're like, hmm. And then they say, because it's a reflection of you, and you're like, hmm. And then they define you, and then you're like, hmm, super, hmm.

Okay. All right, cool. Everybody says I want to study Diamond Way.

Geshe-la, I don't want philosophy. If I wanted philosophy, I would have come to the 12-year Lam Rim. I just want Diamond Way, okay?

I'm giving you just Diamond Way, okay? All right, understand? Okay, all right.

So, what she's arguing, what's happening here? You got to get in the mood of the argument. The whole book is an argument, okay?

The angel's arguing with the devil, and he says, you're such a loser. You come home, you're always alone. You come home once a year.

I see you once a year. You make me think for five minutes that the husband might be coming for me, and then I forget it. You know, you're never here.

Why should I listen to you? You're so lonely. You're such a lonely person.

And she's like, I'm not lonely. You're the lonely one. I'm friends with everybody who lives in this planet, because they are the tree and I am the seed.

They make me who I am, got it? It's very deep. You pen guys, go back to DCI.

You seed guys, the pen makes your seeds seeds, okay? Thank the pen. Thank you, pen.

Pen's like, thank you. If it wasn't for your seeds, I wouldn't be here. Then you have to say, but without you, I wouldn't have seeds, because they wouldn't be seeds, because they didn't make anything.

Understand? The real dependent origination, ingo, is back and forth. It's both ways, okay?

Got it? Which means she is never alone, and she knows it, okay? If you understand dependence, you are deep friends with every other person on this planet, and every other planet, by the way, but I don't want to blow your head up.

I'll say it again. If you really understand the pen, then you are connected to every person on this planet, automatically. If you understand the pen, every person in the world is your friend.

You depend on each other. Don't tell me I'm lonely, because I only show up in the brain once a year. I agree, but all day, I'm friends with everybody, and you're not, okay?

Got it? He's not. Who's he?

Yeah, ignorance or whatever. Misunderstanding. Okay.

Then she goes on to a very sexy list. She's bragging now. You're the loser.

Who? Ignorance. You're lonely.

You sit in the head by yourself, okay? I got friends. I got so many friends.

You don't even know. Okay, then he's like, well, who, who? Tell me who.

Then she starts, okay? Here's a list of my friends, okay? Here she goes.

The rising of the sun and the rising of the moon. The sun and the moon are my buddies. Is that cool?

Okay, yeah. The directions are my buddies, east and west. Okay?

They depend on me. Okay, got it? She's bragging about how many friends she's got.

He accused her of being friendless because she's such a loser. And she's like, yeah, I'm a loser? I got big, I got friends in high places.

Where? The sun and the moon. And I got east and west, okay?

I got east and west. I got day and night. Okay, they're my friends, got it?

And summer, winter, autumn, spring, the four seasons. They're my friends, okay? The fact that the rain falls down, the fact that flowers grow and fruits grow in the trees, they all come from me, okay?

She's bragging about how many friends she has. I got everybody. Now, Stanley, $100.

Then you can buy another statue. I mean, part of another statue, the finger. He's not going to answer anyway, it's okay.

This is a discussion of borders. She's really talking about borders, okay? She's saying my friends are the border between night and day.

My friends are the border between east and west. My friends are the border between winter and summer. In the ancient Sanskrit.

Seema. Oh, did I tell you that's $50? And what's the Tibetan for seema?

Sam, okay, it's sam. Say sam. So there's two words you should learn, okay?

It's the Tibetan is sam, T-S-A-M. And the Sanskrit for sam is seema. Long I, seema, okay, seema.

And seema means a border. And it goes into English as, yeah, the seam, like the seam, this stitching here, this seam, this where they sew their cloths together. That's called in English a seam.

It comes from ancient Sanskrit, which is seema. Okay, sew comes from that, sutra comes from that, okay? String, okay?

Seema, so what does seema mean? Seema came to mean the border, okay? Seem came to mean the border.

And it's very, very important for a retreat center, okay? It's a big, big important thing for a retreat center. And every time we do a retreat, a silent retreat, serious retreat, we draw a border.

We make a border. We make two borders. David knows the two.

Say, Geshe-la, how much money? Two borders, at least. Yeah, one, yeah, one is, you know, somebody runs up that mountain and puts a stick.

It's called samthong. Or you can put a piece of paper on your door, or you should do both. That's kind of an inner circle.

There are more circles. We're not going to talk about them. But this is seema.

Seema means, say seema. It's a long I, yeah, seema, yeah. It means the border.

And I was telling the people in Dunhuang, when I did three-year retreat, Ali remembers, I was in the car. I was finishing the Diamond Cutter business book in the car. The last page.

And we get to the gate of the three-year retreat. I say, stop. Then I gave her the manuscript to give to the publisher.

And then I walk, we park the car, walk through, and I turn around, and it's a cow gate. It's a wooden cow gate. And I take the cow gate, and I close it, and I say, I won't leave this gate for three years.

It's a weird feeling, right? You guys who did three years, you know the feeling. You're like, three years?

You got this doubt, you should let go or not? No, I let go, and I said, okay, I will not go out of this gate for three years. And we didn't, and weird things happened.

I told a funny story in Dunhuang. I broke one tooth really bad in one of the other retreats. I'm like, I got to go to town, I got to get a dentist.

And they said, Geshe-la, you never heard of super glue? And I'm like, what? They're like, we'll just super glue it.

And I'm like, but the tooth is gone. I don't know where it is. It's half there.

They said, no, no, we'll fill it in with super glue. And I'm like, okay, let's try, you know. So I didn't break the sima.

I didn't go across the sima for three years, three months, three days, okay? So there's this idea in the angel and the devil talk right here of sima, okay? But here the sima is, what's the line between sun and moon?

What's the line between pen and seeds? What's the line between east and west? We used to have a project in Mexico across the border in Douglas, Agua Prieta.

We used to have a, we tried to type Tibetan there. All the computers got stolen. We did, we really did.

And I said, I got to go down, I'm going to do something. And I was going over across the border to talk to the workers and I said, wait a minute. I told the policeman, can I just do something, one thing?

And he's like, what? They don't trust you for anything. And I'm like, just for fun, I want to put one foot in the United States and one foot in Mexico.

And I want to see how it feels. I'm like, you know, so I'm like, then I'm standing there and I'm looking down the border. And I said, you know what?

It feels just the same, you know? I don't feel anything. I don't feel any border, you know?

I don't see any border, it's just dirt. It's desert actually, you know, it's just dirt. I don't see, but it's a karmic line, right?

People on this side, many people are hungry. And then six feet away, two meters away, the people have too much food. They're all dying of overweight.

Really, so these people are hungry, these people are dying of overweight. Who made the border? Is it like some politician make a border?

Your seats make the border. Your seats make the border. So what she's saying is, borders are my friend.

Border between you and other people, the border between your eye and the pen, the border between me and you, it's all coming from seeds. The borders are coming from seeds. The sema are coming from seeds, got it?

She's not just saying, oh, you know, sun and moon come from me. East and west come from me. Day and night come from me.

Winter, summer come from me. She's not saying that. She says, you make the minds.

You make the minds. By the way, if everybody understood that, there would be a very strange language would develop. Me, David, went to Dunhuang so that David, me, could have a conference so that David, me, could translate for the Chinese, English, English, Chinese.

And then, you know, like that, like the, you'd have to change all human languages. All human languages are based on misperception. The word you and the word me is a mistake.

It's not that if you're a nice person, you should think of me as you. That's not true. That's wrong.

There shouldn't be any you and there shouldn't be any me. We should have lunch or we shouldn't have lunch, no matter where's the border. Got it?

I am you and you are me. Therefore, if you understand that, can the partner in your head say, you don't have any friends? Then you're like, you don't understand, man.

I'm the only one who's a friend to everybody. Got it? The angel says, you're the loser.

You're the lonely one. You're the one with no friends. You don't realize you can't exist without other people.

You are other people. Okay, got it? It's very powerful.

It's very powerful. That's why it took us like 10 years to get this far. We like did one verse.

Then now when you think of wisdom says, understanding seeds, understanding the pen says, I got real friends and you don't even know what friends are. I got such good friends, they are me. Got it?

Don't say I don't have any friends. It's true I don't have friends. I am my friends and they are me.

And that's how close we are. And then if you understand that, your life is awesome. Your life is, every day is really fun.

Recognizing that you are other people is fun all day long that never stops. You can be goofy all day. Okay, all right.

Okay, all right. Really, okay. And that's fun.

I mean, even if all this stuff is philosophy, I don't care. If you want to have fun all day, every day, that's fun. That's real fun.

You just have fun on a birthday or something. That's just once a year. What's a deep Geshe-la wisdom?

Yeah, somebody asked me, how many students you want? I said, 365 with different birthdays. My wife says, don't eat dessert.

I said, somebody had a birthday, I got to eat. Yeah. Okay, so the borders come from you.

All the borders come from you. Maybe they're not so useful. And they relate directly to retreat.

Because the word for retreat in the ancient language, sima in Sanskrit, or tsam in Tibetan, is border. And it means to stay inside the border. That's a different kind of border.

That means sometimes you can think clearer if you're not around a hundred people. Like if you have a family, if you work, you have a normal life, that's good. Other people are sweet.

To be with other people is sweet. But sometimes to be alone in your retreat cabin is really cool. And then when you get out, you know what?

I don't know John Brady. I had this thing in retreat. I remember looking at the window.

I distinctly remember looking at the window and saying, this is not fun. To sit here for a thousand days. I didn't have a toilet.

I didn't have running water. I didn't have electricity. I was in a dozen.

And I was like, this is not fun. And now I'm thinking, why? There's nobody else to help.

And I can't have that fun of helping somebody. And I felt lonely. I was like, this is cool.

I mean, retreat is cool, but I don't get a chance to make dinner for anybody. I don't get a chance to say hi to anybody. I don't get a chance to talk to anybody.

I don't get a chance to serve people. So I think one reason to go into retreat, and you guys are going to do a deep retreat for four days, still a deep retreat, four days. You will start to miss other people.

The first day is cool. I finally got rid of that guy who can't talk. He talks all day.

Then, like the third day, you're like, I kind of miss him. And you'll feel a little bit lonely. And during those times, that's the time to think about being a bodhisattva and when you're in deep retreat for a long time, by yourself, you will understand how much you need other people and how much fun and how sweet it is to have other people to serve.

And it doesn't matter whether they're nice people or bad people. Serving bad people is more fun than serving nice people. It's an art form, advanced art.

Okay. All right. Then she goes dark.

How much time I got, Tim? Okay. Then she goes dark.

And it's a little dark. She suddenly flips. She suddenly goes somewhere else.

I'm still on verse 337, you guys. She says there's a border between spring, summer, winter, fall. Okay, that's okay.

And then she says there's a border called alive and dead. And then she starts to get dark. And you're like, what?

Yeah. She's like, there's another border. Okay.

And it's called life and death. Okay. And then she said there's other divisions.

You can be sick or you can be in active agony. You can be suffering at Diamond Mountain in the same week from excessive heat and excessive cold. As far as toilet seats, I'll go for the heat.

All right. I mean not, okay. Hunger on one hand, thirst on the other hand, and everything else, okay.

So she suddenly transitions to other borders between pain, between aging, death. She's going to the four arya truths. She's going to the truth of suffering.

She's saying, I also created the lines between the four truths. I created the line between pain and the cause of pain. I created the line between nirvana and the causes, the path.

I created those lines. I created the lamrim. I created those lines.

You did. Between life and death. So if you understand those lines are coming from you, you can change them.

If you don't understand they're coming from you, you cannot change them. Cool? If you understand where the suma, what's that?

Borders come from, you can change the border between life and death. Okay? It's tantric class, okay?

I get to say what I want. Somebody, me and Seiji, we're working on a special project about helping people do the second half of their life. What are you going to do during the second half of your life?

Like this kind of thing. We're developing an idea. And then I was teaching something like that for the DSEU.

And somebody said to me, oh, so you're teaching a second half of life. And I said, no, I'm teaching the first half of what comes next. Okay, and they're like, huh?

And I said, I'm not interested in teaching you how to get old and get your kidney disease and then die. I'm not, to me that's not very interesting. I'm teaching you the next two halves of your life, which is what happens after that.

You know, how do you transition? It's not like how do you grow old gracefully, you know? Don't forget to, I don't know, do your stretches or else you won't be able to walk or something like that.

Okay? That's just the first half. The second half is what happens after that, okay?

It's if you start a new project when you're 40, okay? That's the first half of your new life, okay? And then we have to master the art of the second half, which is after you're dead, okay?

So don't think of life as first half and second half of my life. Don't think like that. The second half of your life is the first half, okay?

Then what happens? You die and then you have another half, okay? And if you study well, if you learn to do retreat well, if you study Diamond Way well, it's amazing fun.

It's awesome. It's super cool. Do you know what color the sky is going to be in my next life?

Peach color. Okay, it's the only one better than blue. Okay, like imagine you could be planning your next childhood, your next teenage years, you know, like that.

Imagine you could be planning them now, okay? That's what we're talking about. And you can say either Geshe-la's crazy or he knows something, okay?

And I don't, to me it doesn't care. If you think I'm crazy, I don't mind. You know, if you want to give away the $100, I'm okay.

Now, maybe I'm crazy or maybe I know something, okay? All right, I mean, it's possible. We have to say what?

Either he knows something or maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, okay? All right, cool. Anyway, I'm looking forward.

I'll see you in the next world. Don't be late.
