Сутра Алмазного огранщика (1999, Монголия), занятие 2

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, we start. Now we do a second prayer. Sangye Dukpa Shok Sangye Chodam Sogye Cho Nam La Chan Chu Pa Du Dhan Ni Gyal Su Chi Dhagye Jin Sogye Paeswa Nam Ki Dhokla Penche Sangye Dukpa Shok Sangye Chodam Sogye Cho Nam La Chan Chu Pa Du Dhan Ni Gyal Su Chi Dhagye Jin Sogye Paeswa Nam Ki Dhokla Penche Sangye Dukpa Shok Now we do a few minutes meditation.

Come sit. Then sit up straight. Head straight.

Shoulders straight. Then first take left hand. Put down.

And then right hand, down. Like that. Then down on lap.

Then please close your eyes. And you watch the breath going through your nose. You watch the air, feel the air going through your nose.

And do this for about three, four minutes. And have to stay very, very quiet. Please nobody talk.

Okay, we start now. Then I'd like you to meditate about Tara. This is a woman Buddha.

Tara, her body is a beautiful white color. Like light. And her long black hair.

And wearing beautiful silk clothing. And you have to think she is sitting in front of you. And you have to make a very good picture.

And you can see her breathing even. Her chest is moving. And she smells, smells very good like perfume.

So now be very quiet. And make a picture of Tara like that. And she is sitting in front of you.

And you ask her to help you understand Diamond Cutter. Then you can't see her really right now, but later you can meet her. And if you ask her to come, she will come.

So now you close your eyes. Stay very, very quiet. And you ask Tara to help you.

To help understand Diamond Cutter. Because Diamond Cutter is a little bit hard to understand. Now everybody quiet.

Okay, then we start. Okay, first thing, Diamond Cutter is very, very important book. Diamond Cutter is very, very important book.

And this book before, almost for one thousand years, in your country Mongolia, most important book. Then I lived many years with Mongolian people in America, called Kalmyk Mongolia. And every family has one Dorje Chupa in their house.

And please remember Sunday, when we have that class on Sunday, I have brought 500 books with me. And we will give to first 500 people. So first thing important always, when you take this book, and when you thinking about this book, you have to ask Tara for help.

Every time before you, in the morning time, when you wake up, you sit meditation a little bit quiet, and you think about Tara and you ask her for help. And in America, I have maybe in New York four or five hundred students. And they like Buddhism, because every morning they can do in their own home.

Everybody can do. You don't have to be monk, you don't have to be nun. You can do in your own home.

You can do every day. You can study about Buddhism, and you can do meditation yourself. But the first thing in the morning, when you wake up, then you meditate a little bit about Tara.

And every day you make that picture better and better. Then when you close your eyes, you should not think about picture, like flat picture like this, just picture. It's not picture, it's real Tara.

And she's smiling at you, and she loves you. And she's giving you good power for good meditation. And you think you can feel her body's warm, and you can smell nice smell, and she's really there.

So every morning you start like that. And now we're going to start Diamond Cutter again. I'm going to write the name again.

So, I asked them to repeat. Say Dorje. Dorje.

Dorje. Chepa. Chepa.

Chepa. Good. What is the meaning of Dor?

Stone. Je. Han.

So Dorje. Ochur. Yeah, good.

Chepa. Cutting. Cutting.

And Dorje means something very clear. It is clear like glass. And this book is about emptiness.

Then people told me, when you talk to Mongolian people, you shouldn't talk about emptiness so soon. But I know that for 1000 years, Mongolian people studied about emptiness. So I think everybody can understand.

But a little bit difficult. So you have to think clearly. If you understand about emptiness, then you understand about Buddhism.

If you don't understand about emptiness, very hard to be Buddhist. So I want to explain a little bit again about emptiness. And you have to try to understand.

Young people, middle people, old people, everybody have to try to understand. Because if you don't understand about emptiness, then you don't understand about good deeds. Every religion in the world, there is a Muslim, there is a Christian, there is a Jewish, there is a Hindu, there is a Buddhist.

So everybody says, emptiness is a good thing. But I think in Buddhism, the reason to do BODHIN, the way to do BODHIN is much more clear. So if you want to be Buddhist, you have to understand emptiness.

And then you know how to do good BODHIN. So I'm going to explain one more time about emptiness. Emptiness is like a diamond.

Very clear. Very hard to see. And very precious.

Very important. If you understand emptiness, you can have everything in your life. So one more time we talk about emptiness.

So first question, what is this thing? What is this thing? Say pen.

Some people say pen. But if horse comes here, and if horse comes up here, can you be horse? What is this thing?

They think something to hit. Same thing. So human people, they see pen.

And a horse comes here, he sees, oh I don't like it, something to hit me. Now I have question for you. Question.

Who is right? Yeah, both are right. Okay, human sees pen.

Horse sees something to hit. Why? Why?

Yeah, we say in the human's mind is good karma. So human sees pen. Because pen is a good thing.

And the horse sees something to hit. Because horse has bad karma in their mind. So who put this karma in the horse's mind?

And who put the good karma in the human mind? You tell me.

[Говорящий 2]
Self, yeah.

[Говорящий 1]
Before, long time before, the human gave pen to somebody.

[Говорящий 2]
Did a boyan.

[Говорящий 1]
And mind is like tape recorder. Or mind is like this camera. The mind remembers everything.

So if you did a nice thing to somebody, then you see nice thing. And if you do bad thing to somebody... Here, take the pen.

No, no, no, no. Then you have to see bad thing. So the horse did something like that.

And the human did something nice. And this is very difficult, but that is why horse is horse. And that is why human is human.

What is this thing? No, just stick. Same.

Stick. Okay, same. Please don't forget, this is very important.

This one, this one, same. Why? If I do nice thing to other people, if I do good karma, I see hand.

If I do bad thing to other people, I see dog's leg. Yeah, that's true. You have to understand.

Okay, this one, this one, same. Okay, if you do good thing, you see pen. If you do good thing, you see hand.

If you do bad thing, you see stick. If you do bad thing, you see dog's leg. Buddhists say, after you die, you maybe become human, or maybe you become dog.

This is the reason why. This is not some old idea. This is true.

If you make bad karma, you see this thing as a leg of dog. And then you are a dog. So this is most important thing for Buddhists to understand.

Is this pen or stick, a hitting stick? Which one? You have to ask, who is looking?

If human is looking, it's pen. If horse is looking, it's a hitting thing. But now I have most important question for you.

By itself, what is it? From its own side, what is this? I'm not talking human looking, I'm not talking horse looking.

From its own side, by itself, what is this thing? Just a stick. Just a stick.

Okay, now I ask you question. It's a question. Okay.

I want you to practice three ways. Are you ready? Okay, now you look at this, and you look at pen.

You think pen. This is a pen. Now you change.

Now you think, I'm a horse. Now you look at this thing again. Yeah.

Practice. Now you think in between way. In between.

Not pen and not hitting stick. Now you just look as a stick. Practice.

Now quickly, one more time. Pen. Now quickly, horse.

Now stick. Which one is true? Yeah, depends who is looking.

And this is the meaning of emptiness. This is the meaning of diamond. By itself, it's not pen.

By itself, it's not hitting stick. By itself, empty. Now, Buddhism is supposed to help us.

Buddhism is supposed to make us happy. If I am a good Buddhist, after I die, I don't have to be dog. I don't have to be horse.

And if I am a very good Buddhist, I can become like this. I can become like Tara. Okay?

Why? Same. Same thing.

If I make very good karma, I see human arm. If I do bad karma, then I see dog. But what do I see if I do very, very, very good things to other people?

Who would be you? Very good karma. Yeah, Buddhist hand.

You will become Tara. You don't have to meditate about Tara. You just look, and you will be Tara.

And this is the meaning of Buddhism. This is empty. It's like empty screen.

So I make this empty. Now empty. Okay.

If I have good karma, my mind sees human. Okay. If my mind is not nice, I see dog.

Not too good. If my karma is very, very good, I see Tara. Which is true?

Which one? No, which is true? I don't believe.

What is true? Pen or stick? Both.

Yeah, both. All are true. Okay.

You make good karma, human. You make bad karma, dog. You make six perfections, six good, good, good karmas, you see Tara.

Same thing. Same thing. This is why Buddhist people must do bodhidharma.

Because Buddhist people understand about this. Okay. And you must understand.

The reason to do buoyant is because of emptiness. Okay. And every night we will talk about it.

Because it's not good some lama tell you, Be good, be good person, do buoyant, do buoyant, and you don't understand why, you cannot do. You have to understand. Your body and this, same.

So actually, you can become dog after you die. This is Buddhist understand that. And you can become Tara.

This is big thing Buddha taught everybody in this room. If you understand diamond cutter, you can become Tara. So you must do good things.

What kind of good things? Yesterday we talked six things. And I want to talk some more about.

So you have to remember six things. First thing was what? Yesterday we finished.

Tell me Jimba. Jimba. Jimba.

What is meaning of Jimba? Yesterday four kinds we talked about. Yeah, giving.

What's the first kind? I show you debating. Okay.

This is how I teach my student in New York. This is Buddhist custom for many years. Hey you.

Can you show me the first of six perfections? Yeah, then she said Dhamma room. I said, you cannot tell me first one.

Then she said, it's not true. So you can show me number one. And she said, duh.

Duh means I can. The show. Show means show me.

You telling me it's giving? She said giving. I said, are you sure?

Then she said, it's not true. Yeah, good. Okay, now we try you people.

How many very good deeds to do? What's the first one? Jimba.

Giving. How many kinds? Six.

Four. Thank you. Okay, we do like this.

[Говорящий 2]
You can learn very fast.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, four kinds of giving. What is the first one? Yeah, material thing, money, food, place to stay, car.

Okay, those are first kind of giving. Okay, now you tell me. If you do giving of money, one hundred dollars, what will come back?

Just buoyant? What is buoyant? Yeah, no.

More money come back to you. If you give hundred dollars, if you understand emptiness, come back thousand dollars. Karma always grows.

Who has the best house in the world? Huh, that was small. Tara.

Yeah, really. Okay, everything beautiful. Much, much bigger than this building.

Everything beautiful. When she touch something, she feel good. Everything like that.

What kind of karma she did? I ask you big question. Was Tara like us before or not?

Same as us. Maybe she was in your family before. Maybe she was in your school before.

Maybe she was your mother before. Maybe she was your daughter before. But she understood emptiness before you did.

And she understand emptiness about giving things to other people. So she gave to other people as much as she can. And this change her mind.

And now everything she sees is beautiful. Because she understands giving. So you have to give to other people as much as you can.

And then you can make beautiful place like Tara's house. And then you can make beautiful place like Tara's house. Now, second kind of giving.

Yesterday we talked about it. In America, the student goes back in the book like that. What is second kind?

If someone has a trouble, you help them. Like somebody hitting them. Anybody having trouble, you have to help them.

And if you do this all the time, what will happen? What is the karma come back? Peace.

Ink. Ink. Everything peaceful.

In your country, no war. No fighting. No problem with other countries.

Everything peaceful. But you must help other people who have problem. If two people in your family are fighting, you have to try to stop them.

If you do many times, then in your whole country, Mongolia, peace. No problems. Now, what is third kind of giving?

You forgot everything yesterday. Number three. Love.

It means in your family, in your school, in the place where you are working, happy to everybody. Happy. Smile.

Happy. Help everybody. Then you tell me, what karma come back to?

Huh? Just point? No.

Then everybody you meet in your city, everybody you talk to, everybody when you go to the store, when you buy something, happy. Everyone is happy to you. Everybody is trying to help you.

So I tell you, for example, if you meet angry person, if you angry to them, what will come back? You tell me. You meet more angry people.

If you meet angry person and you try to be nice to them, then you don't meet any angry people. Now, you are good Buddhist. You understand Diamond Cutter.

In Mongolia, only country in the world, where Diamond Cutter is main book. This is your main book in your country. For 700 years.

So now you have to tell me. If I meet person who is angry at me, he say bad thing to me. You stupid.

If I understand Diamond Cutter Sutra, what should I do? Can you come over there and talk to him? Make him peace.

Why? Because emptiness. I have a question for you.

Somebody says something bad to you. Is this bad person or good person? So, is he bad to everybody?

Everybody thinks he is bad? Does his family think he is bad? Does his friend think he is bad?

Same thing. Empty. You have to understand empty.

When you meet a bad man, he talks bad to you. But his family thinks he is nice man. Who is right?

Both. Because everything is like this. Everything is empty.

Everything is blank. Every man, every woman, every children is empty. If you have good karma in your mind, you see a nice man.

Everybody is nice to you. If you have bad karma in your mind, you see everybody bad to you. Which is true?

Both. And if you make very, very, very good karma, what do you see everywhere? You see yourself Buddha?

Tara. Tara. And everybody Tara.

And this is Buddhism. Minimal Buddhism. So you have to understand this thing.

If you understand this thing, you want to do Buddha. You like to do Buddha. Because you understand this Buddha will make you Tara.

Buddha will make peace in your country. Buddha will make everybody have enough food, enough money. Because everything is empty.

Okay? And now this is a true thing. And I'm telling you true thing.

Because I did myself. When I was a small boy, we don't have enough food. Not enough money.

My mother is a school teacher. The pay is very small. Less pay than the garbage man.

And my father is not there. My father was gone. And four brothers.

And we like to eat a lot. So not enough food. Then I learn about Buddhism.

I learn about emptiness. I started to bow in. I gave my money.

I help poor people. I help everybody at my workplace. And when I start at the workplace, do you know messenger?

I am a messenger. I have to carry the message. I have to run to the other office.

But always I'm doing bowing. If I get little bit of money, I give to somebody. Then I be nice to everybody.

Help everybody. Give those four kinds of giving. Money.

Help people who have problem. Love people. And give Dharma.

Give teaching. Then after a few years, I am vice president of this company. I make more than $100,000 per year.

Seven. Because everything is empty. Everything is like diamond.

So now you know meaning of diamond is like clear, like empty. And if you understand about this thing, you can have anything you want. Money.

House. But I like better. I want to become like Tara.

So this is the reason why I'm teaching. Thank you. Now I have some question to ask you.

I want to check if you understand about these things. If you want peace in your country, what do you have to do? Second kind of giving.

What is it? If you see someone needs help, you have to help them. But I have question for you.

Peace in your country is a big thing. To help one person. One person.

That's a small thing. So why? If I help small people, if I help little people, little bit, why peace comes to whole country?

Why? The karma is very small. I just help one or two people.

But then, when it comes back, result is very big. Whole country has peace. You tell me why.

Karma gets bigger and bigger. If you give one dollar, after one day you get two dollars. After two days you get four dollars.

After three days you get sixteen dollars. This is power of karma. This is how karma works.

So if you understand emptiness, you have to do small good things to everybody. So now I want to teach you, most important, ten good things in Buddhism. How's time?

Eight. Eight? OK.

Say Tsun. Everybody say. Tsun.

Tsun. Tsun. Tsun.

Tsun. Tsun. Tsun.

Tsun. I told you I will give you six very good karmas. And we finished only one.

So now I give you number two. Number one is what? Jimba.

Giving. Now, tsultrim means to lead a very good life, be a good person. So to be a good person.

And here there are ten different ways. So I want to teach you ten different ways. Because these are ten very good boyin.

What is the use of boyin? Why is boyin important? Because everything is empty.

Because everything is empty. Everything is like diamond. If you have boyin in your mind, everything is beautiful.

If you don't have boyin in your mind, then after you die, what? Like that. Not good.

So now I teach you ten things. This is number one. Say, sol, ch, sol.

Way, come on. I tell you a story. Seven hundred years ago, Genghis Khan and four sons, they became king of Mongolia, China, Vietnam, Korea, Russia, Hungary, Persia, everywhere.

Because very smart. Very powerful. So I think you must make a big sound for me.

Say, sol, sol, sol, ch, sol, ch. Sol, ch means killing. Killing.

Sol is life. Ch means cutting. Like Dorjecheba.

So sol, ch is killing. I want to tell you a little bit about killing. In Christian religion, only one kind of killing is bad.

They say only killing people is bad. They say ok to kill other things. But in Buddhism, different.

We believe every animal has a feeling. If you take a horse, if you hit them, they make noise. They have feeling.

Even small bug. Yeah, if you go like that. They run away.

Because they have feeling. People have feeling. Animal has feeling.

Bug has feeling. So cannot kill them. Because hurts them.

Why is it bad karma? Why is it bad karma to kill? Awesome.

Because, by the way, tell them, every time I ask a question, the right answer is because everything is empty. No, in Diamond Cutter Sutra. Every answer, empty.

So, why is bad to kill animals? Awesome. Yeah, ok.

It's true. Because after you die, if you have that bad karma in your mind, you see no heart. Yeah, really.

Because my arm is empty. Awesome. If you make bad karma, you will see bad thing.

If you make good karma, you will see good thing. So cannot kill anything. First one.

Now, in my country, nowadays, when a woman gets pregnant, many, many women are doing abortion to kill that baby. Because they don't understand baby is alive. In very first minute, when father's sperm, mother's blood come together, this is alive.

So cannot kill that thing. Buddha said many, many times. So in my country, many women making big mistake.

Because they don't understand this thing. So please don't do that. I think many women in America getting cancer, breast cancer.

This is bad karma from killing baby. So you have to remember that. In Buddhism, very important.

Why? Hustle. Don't forget.

Before she has abortion, her breast is very beautiful. After she has abortion, she put a bad karma in her mind, she has to see bad thing. She will see bad thing here.

This is karma. All karma works like that. So you have to understand karma.

Big question. Why does karma work? Yeah.

True. OK. OK.

Some other religion, they say you shouldn't kill anything. Because in the sky, is one big man. He has big beard.

And he says, I don't like that. But in Buddhism, we don't believe about that. You shouldn't kill, because it will come back to you.

OK? All the sickness comes from killing. Cancer, AIDS, and all of the back ache, the hand ache, neck ache, all comes from bad karma.

It all comes from killing. Last night, one man came to me, after finishing. He said to me, my boy has cancer.

He is very sick. Can you cure him? Can you put hand on him?

And you take away cancer. What do you think?

[Говорящий 2]
Can I do or not?

[Говорящий 1]
OK. That boy himself made bad karma. He killed something.

And now that bad karma in his mind. And that's why he sees sick himself. He says, Lama cannot take that away.

If Lama can take away, then nobody gets sick. You have to take away. You don't kill anything.

If you kill something before, then now you have to take very special care not to kill anything again. And I will teach you on Saturday, how to take out the old bad karma. And then you won't be sick.

But I cannot do for you. You have to do. Why?

Possible. Because you make your own karma. If you kill something, you will be sick.

If you kill something, that karma in your mind. I can't take karma out of your mind. So every Buddhist person has to be good themselves.

Every Buddhist person has to learn about karma. Every Buddhist person has to learn about emptiness. Then you have to make your own good karma.

But cannot kill anything. Okay, how's the time? Three minutes.

Okay, so we do a little meditation now. But I think now you understand why to do good karma. Then I sit up straight.

Head should be straight. Then left hand. Right hand.

On top. Then join the thumbs like that. Then put on your lap.

Then first thing, watch your breath. I think she needs microphone. Christy, here.

No, other one, other one. This is TV. Christy.

She's coming, she's coming. And watch breath. You yourself are Tara.

There is Tara.

[Говорящий 2]
Whenever she needs, it's okay. This is microphone, I take this one now. You show.

You show. I put this one.

[Говорящий 1]
Yes. Okay, I'd like to welcome all the people on television. And now already tonight we are talking for one hour.

And here there are many people. And already they understand a lot about diamond cutter. So we're going to check everything.

And I'm going to ask some questions. First thing, I want to check everybody understands meaning diamond cutter. So I'm going to write it again.

So please repeat the name. One more time. Because we have to check if you understand the meaning of the name.

So please say Dorje. Chupa. Dorje.

Chupa. Chupa. Dorje.

Chupa. Chupa. Good.

What is the name of Do? Meaning stone, okay? Je?

Han. Dorje? Ocho.

Ocho. And what is the meaning of Sanskrit word? What is Sanskrit word?

Badra. Badra. Okay.

And chupa means what? Cut. Yeah, to cut.

Okay. So first important thing, we want to talk about Dorje. Hasen.

Hasen. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Means emptiness.

Hasen. Hasen. Emptiness.

Hasen. Okay. And I want to talk about emptiness.

People told me, Mongolian people, they don't understand about emptiness. People told me, you don't talk about emptiness, it's too difficult. But I think all Mongolian people can understand emptiness.

Because for 700 years, your Lamas knew about emptiness. And Mongolian Buddhist people understand about emptiness. For 700 years.

And this book is your most famous book in your country. So I want to check one more time, what is the meaning of emptiness? What is the meaning of emptiness?

Because if you do not understand emptiness, you cannot be a good Buddhist. You cannot understand Buddhism. You must understand emptiness.

And here is easy way to understand. And if you understand emptiness, it's very, very good for you. Okay, here we go.

What is this thing? Some people say pen. Okay.

But you know, if a horse comes in this room. If a horse come up. And horse comes up here.

And they look at this thing. What do they see? Yeah, they see like stick to hit them.

Okay. Which one is right? Yeah, both.

Horse sees a hitting stick. Human sees pen. Which one is true?

Both. Yeah. Why does the horse see hitting stick?

Because horse has bad karma in their mind. Why does human see pen? Because human has good karma in their mind.

I want to show you good karma one more time. I want to show you how you make good karma. I want to show you where good karma stays in your mind.

Okay, now I'm going to do good karma. Would you like this pen? There, you can have it.

This is good karma. Later, I will have more pen. Later.

After one month. After one year. More pen.

More pen will come to me. Why? Because I gave the pen.

Because I did boyin. But I have big question for you. If I do good karma to her, and after one week or one month she does good karma to me, during that time, where does that karma stay?

Where does karma stay? Where does karma stay? In the mind.

How does it come in the mind? How does karma come in the mind? Mind is like tape recorder.

Mind is like camera, TV camera. And when I give this thing to her, my mind is like camera. My mind is making tape recording, recording.

After one week, after one month, I see it coming back. And this is where good karma stays in your mind. Some people, when they do bad thing, some people when they steal money, they like to do secretly.

They don't want anyone to see them. Is this good idea or bad idea? Why?

Why? Because camera is watching all the time. Camera is here.

Camera is not other people. Karma camera is here. So if you do bad thing, it doesn't help to hide.

Because camera is here. Karma will stay in your mind. And then later, it will come back to you.

Now some people say, if you give somebody one dollar, karma come back to you hundred dollars. Why? Yeah, because karma always gets bigger.

When you do good karma, then it's like you put a small seed in your mind. And this seed grows bigger and bigger and bigger. And then later, it's like a tree.

So if you give one dollar, in one day, karma grows. After one day become two dollars. After two days become four dollars.

After three days become sixteen dollars. This is true. You have to understand that.

It worked for me. I told you, when I was a boy, my family doesn't have any money. Then I understand about boy.

And I do good karma for everybody. Give nice things to everybody. And then later I have more than enough money, hundred thousand dollars.

So what I'm teaching you about emptiness, teaching you about giving, this is not just some religion. This really works. Everything you're wishing for can work.

Now yesterday we said something on the television. We say about cancer, do you remember? We say some people get cancer, some people don't get cancer.

Then do you remember I asked my mother, I was small boy, one of my aunt she got cancer. One of my aunt didn't get cancer. Do you remember yesterday I asked my mother, why did my aunt get cancer?

And why the other aunt got cancer? And what did she say? Do you remember?

The one aunt is smoking. Then I told my mother, I don't want to know how she got cancer. I want to know why she got cancer.

[Говорящий 2]
Why one person get cancer.

[Говорящий 1]
Why the other person doesn't get cancer. I don't want to know how she got cancer. So then I ask her, why does she smoke?

And she says, because her friend is smoking. Then I ask my mother, why is her friend smoking? Then my mother got angry.

You stop asking stupid question. I say, why she got cancer? She said, because she is smoking.

I say, why she is smoking? She says, because her friend is smoking. Then I said, why is her friend smoking?

Then my mother said, stop asking. But in Buddhism we have to ask. Here is one lady.

Here is another lady. One gets cancer. One doesn't get cancer.

Why? Why? Karma.

Now we say, this and the body is same. This thing and my body is same. If I have good karma in my mind, for example, if I never kill anything, don't kill animal, don't kill person, don't kill baby in the abortion, don't kill bugs, if you have this kind of karma, never kill anything, you won't see cancer.

Because you don't have bad karma in your mind. Now if you kill other person, if you make abortion, if you kill bug, then that karma comes into your mind. Because this is like karma.

It remembers everything. Then later you will see cancer. This is why Buddhist people have to do Buyin.

This is why Buddhist people have to do good thing for other people. Many many religions, they talk about good thing. Many religion says you should do good thing for other people.

But this explanation is very very good reason why to do good thing for other people. So this thing and this thing, body, same. If you see pen, it's because good karma in your mind.

If you see hitting stick, it's because of bad karma in your mind. If you see healthy body, it's because you didn't kill anything. Not people, not baby, not animal, not bug.

And then when you look at this body, everything is healthy. No sickness here, no sickness here. This is why you have to do good karma.

But if you hurt other people, if you kill things, if you kill the baby here, if you fight, then your body will be sick. Because bad karma is in your mind.

[Говорящий 2]
And you will see this thing sick.

[Говорящий 1]
Ok, now I have last question. If you do very, very, very good karma, what will happen? If you do only nice thing to other people, you share your money with other people, you help anybody who has trouble.

Anybody who has trouble, you help them. And you never hurt anything. Then what will you see?

Tara. You know, there is one woman Buddha, her name is Tara. You know, some religions say only God can be man, but in Buddhism can be man or woman.

In Buddhism we believe everybody can become Buddha. We believe man Buddha, we believe woman Buddha. And anybody who makes good karma, then you will become Buddha.

Why? Hasad. Because everything is empty.

Everything is empty. This thing is empty. If you have good karma, you see pen.

If you have bad karma, here. Now how about this one? If I have good karma, I see hand.

If I have bad karma, Loka. And if I be very good to other people, very very good, what do I see? Then you can become Tara.

And this is meaning of Buddhism. This is why every person here has to do good thing. If you do good things to other people, then body is very healthy.

Body is very strong. I am almost 50 years old. Healthy, strong.

Because buoyant. Okay? Also I have money, lots of money.

People give me money all the time. Then I don't keep it, I give it to other people. It's still coming all the time.

It's because of buoyant. So you have to do it like that. You have to do good karma.

Now tell me why? Because everything is empty. And this is empty.

Just like diamond. Just like diamond. This is meaning of diamond.

Now I ask you. Do we have time? How much?

What is better, diamond or Khosen? Diamond or emptiness, which is better? Why?

Why is emptiness better than diamond? No, that's easy. Diamond you can sell.

You can make $1000. Maybe $2000. But Khosen, Because of emptiness, I can become Tara.

I can become Buddha. You can become Buddha. You can become Tara.

I think all the women have to become Tara. And all the men have to become Shakyamuni. But if some men like Tara, you can become Tara also.

So I ask you a question. What is better, diamond or emptiness? Hustle.

That's why we call cutter. That's why the name Diamond Cutter. Because emptiness cuts diamond.

Say again.

[Говорящий 1]
Diamond is down here. Emptiness up here. Emptiness is much better than diamond.

That's why we call the book Diamond Cutter. If you have emptiness, you can become Tara. If you have diamond, it's not much.

That's why we call it Diamond Cutter. So now you know the meaning of the name Diamond Cutter. So now I'd like to practice.

We only have one or two minutes. I'd like you to do a little meditation. And people at home, on television, you can do a little meditation.

And then she will come and she will finish. Okay. So now everybody remember how to meditate.

Sit up straight. Keep your head straight. And then you close your eyes.

You put your hands like this on your lap. And I want you to meditate. Already you became Tara.

You should be very quiet. Then you finish. Then tell them, I'd like to thank you very much because you came here, then I have to talk about this.

And very good karma for me too. So you think about good karma, and I will do a prayer, and you give this good karma to other people. So now we do special prayer.

Thank you. If people come up to the front, please come around this way. And then other people can go out this way.

And I see you tomorrow.
