500 образов для медитации на шагах пути к просветлению, занятие 71

[Speaker 2]
Okay, this is the most depressing one. This is Kuwait, 1991. Six-lane highway.

[Speaker 1]
These are all Iraqi soldiers. They attacked Kuwait. Easily, Kuwait has no army, okay?

[Speaker 2]
They opened up all the banks.

[Speaker 1]
They got all the gold. They raped all the pretty women. They stole all the Mercedes-Benzes, and they are feeling good.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, they got gold women and Mercedes-Benz. And they are driving their Mercedes-Benz back to Iraq. Then, I don't know, six armies—French, English, American—they all joined together.

[Speaker 1]
And they have orders to bomb, to bomb these guys. It took like 20 minutes, I think. First, they bombed the last Mercedes-Benz.

Then they bombed the first Mercedes-Benz.

[Speaker 2]
So, nobody can go forward, nobody can go back, and then slowly they bombed all the others.

[Speaker 1]
And they killed everybody.

[Speaker 2]
I think 2,000 people in about 20 minutes.

[Speaker 1]
Why I have this picture? These guys are happy, okay?

[Speaker 2]
They just had sex, the car is full of gold, and they have a new Mercedes-Benz.

[Speaker 1]
Two minutes later, they are wrapped in fire. True story. Why I put this picture there?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, how long does it take to go to hell?

[Speaker 1]
You know, if I trip on this last step on the white thing, you know, and I crack my head open, how long does it take to go to hell?

[Speaker 2]
I mean, minimum about 10 seconds, 15 seconds, okay? Maximum 49 days. That's your window.

Why? You don't have to go anywhere, okay? When I walk out the door, it's not that I walk towards the door, I see Penny, I say, hi Penny, and then I walk out, hi Carmen, then I walk out the door.

[Speaker 1]
That's not how reality works.

[Speaker 2]
And it's very ... I mean, it's amazing, but it's true.

[Speaker 1]
My mind makes a picture of a medium-sized door. Then I walk two steps. Then my mind makes a picture of a slightly bigger door.

Then I walk two more steps. The steps are also coming from my mind, but I don't want to talk about it. Then my mind makes a big, a big, a big hole.

The world is coming from your mind at 65 frames per second.

[Speaker 2]
The the teaching from Nagarjuna that I didn't teach this time, ONG BA MED PA, DROD MED PA, first line, okay?

[Speaker 1]
First line.

[Speaker 2]
Nobody goes anywhere.

[Speaker 1]
Nobody comes from anywhere. Your mind makes bigger door pictures. Then your mind makes smaller door pictures, and you call it walking through the door.

Okay, 65 projections per second. So, how long does it take to go to hell?

[Speaker 2]
Faster than a Kuwaiti Mercedes.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, to go from happy life, to wrapped in fire. Okay, it's faster than that. Okay, don't think I'm just making a story, okay?

It's a hundred percent true.

[Speaker 2]
If we really understood the situation, we would all be like, you know, Lady of Guadalupe or something. We would all be very, very careful, you know, very careful. Okay, anyway, if I tell you a hundred times, maybe I will understand also.

Okay. Okay, here's a famous line that I remember from my teacher. NGON BYAS RANG RES DON DROG GYIS BAG TU SKYE MED TZAM BA SA LUS GSOD PA RNAMS CHOG CIG TU MA GOS PAR ZHAG NA RI'I RGYAL PO RIG RAB PA'I LHAG PA RGYUR In our past life, we have been a pig many times.

In America, we don't have many ... we don't have any pigs walking around the city. So, you can't really appreciate what a wild feral pig in a city looks like.

[Speaker 1]
But when you go to India, it's unbelievable.

[Speaker 2]
There's trash everywhere. Every few feet there's trash, poo-poo, people poo-poo, pee-pee. 60% of Indians still poo-poo and pee-pee on the street.

And walking down the street is like playing a game, you know, you're jumping. Then the pigs are walking up and down the street, eating all of it.

[Speaker 1]
And it's chaos, and the smell is unbelievable. And the Lama said here, your past lives as those pigs, if you take all the poo-poo they ate, that pile will be higher than Mount Everest. The poo-poo you have personally eaten, the pee-pee you have drunk as a pig in your past lives, is bigger than Lake Chalapa.

Okay, don't forget.
