[Speaker 1]
So, this is a fortune teller.

[Speaker 2]
My first Lama was named Geshe Ngawang Dargye in India.

[Speaker 1]
He had a room on the second floor, and I had a room on the first floor. And we are in this Tibetan library.

[Speaker 2]
They are teaching special courses for foreigners.

[Speaker 1]
And, you know, we just have normal ... we go to classes like this, you know, about this many classes. Then the rest of the time we're causing trouble.

Sometimes you do something a little bit wrong, then you look up at his room, you know. And the curtains suddenly close like that. It's really irritating to have your Lama watching you all the time, you know.

Then one day, I remember an Indian fortune teller came. And he was very mystical. He had long hair, and he has all this paint here, you know.

We were, you know, we're like 20 year old hippies. We're like, wow! This guy's a real thing, you know.

And, you know, he said, two dollars, and I'll tell you your whole future, you know. Then he's like, ah, ah, ah, and the world's like, wow, you know, and people are throwing money at him, you know. And when I ...

it came my turn, you know, and I'm like giving him $20, you know. He's like, like this, you know, oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Your father going to live to 85, you know. Your brother will be 83, you know. Your mother will be 92, you know.

[Speaker 1]
They all died the next year, okay? Anyway, then the curtain was like ...

[Speaker 2]
we look at it ...

[Speaker 1]
then the next day we went to class you know, Geshe Dargé, he taught us Shantideva, 43 years ago okay, and then he's ... he finished the class early, then he like didn't say anything for like five minutes, you know, he's just looking at all these 20 year old hippies you know, then he said don't waste your money, like what? He said don't waste your money, like what do you mean you know?

He said don't pay those fake fortune tellers lots of money to find out fake future okay? He was like spying on us you know.

[Speaker 2]
You want to ... I'll tell your future. It's coming clear.

If you hurt people you will be unhappy. If you help people you will be happy.

[Speaker 1]
Okay? Free! Free!

You don't have to pay me. Tell our future you know. That's this idim okay?

Okay?

[Speaker 2]
You don't need a fortune teller to know what's going to happen to you next year.

[Speaker 1]
If you are doing super nice things for people, 2019 is going to be a very good year.

[Speaker 2]
If you're hurting people, 2019 is going to be a hard year. If you're a normal kind of nice person, your 2019 will be a mixture of good things and bad things.

[Speaker 1]
Okay? That's all. You don't need ...

you don't need more fortune telling than that okay? And ... and don't complain if ...

if you don't have an amazing year.

[Speaker 2]
You'll get exactly what you deserve. Okay cool.
