Сутра Алмазного огранщика (1999, Монголия), занятие 3

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, so please sit up straight. Shoulders should be straight. Head should be like soldier.

Then should breathe through your nose naturally. And hand should be left hand first. Then second hand, right hand.

Join here. And then on your lap. Then eyes can be open or closed.

But if you open your eyes, then try to look down like that. Then please watch the breath is coming out of your nose and into your nose. And you can feel the touch of the air inside your nose.

And try to feel this air coming in and out. And don't think about anything else. If you think about something else, then come back to this nose.

So we start now for about five minutes. And now we begin the meditation. Try to think about Tara.

And first thing, just think of the outline, just her shape. Like there's a light behind her, and all you can see is her shape. Now think about her eyes.

Now think about her whole face. Now think about her hair. Now about her upper body and her nice, beautiful clothing.

Now her whole body. Now see her breathing, her chest is moving, breathing. And you can feel her breathing.

Feel the breath on your face, breath is touching you. And you can smell her, very good smell. Then ask her for help to understand Diamond Cutter tonight.

Then ask her for help to understand Diamond Cutter tonight. Then she reach out and touch your chest like that. Then think of the most bad karma you did today, up to now.

Remember where you were, who was together with you, what you said, what you did. And when she touch you, it goes away. All that karma goes away.

Now think of the most good karma you did today. Now think of the most good karma you did today. Now think about it.

And then from her hand is some like gold light coming and fills your body. And then you have no trouble to understand Diamond Cutter tonight. Then we start.

So we practice that mandala. So we practice that mandala. Ok, ready?

Like that? Ok. And in hand is Mongolian country.

And nobody is hungry. And nobody is hungry. Everybody has enough money.

Everybody understands emptiness. Everybody understands Buoyan. And whole country is peaceful.

That is the meaning of this prayer. So now close your eyes. And we will do this prayer together.

And please repeat. SANGYE SHINGDU MIKTE ULWAR GI NDROKUL NAMDHA SHINGLA CHODPA SHONG SANGYE SHINGDU MIKTE ULWAR GI NDROKUL NAMDHA SHINGLA CHODPA SHONG Then sometimes we picture in the country everybody already is Tara. Now we finish.

IDAM GURU RATNA MANDA LAKAM NIRYA TA YAMI Question. What is the answer to every question? What is the answer to every question?

Then my question is this. Why is it possible for every person in Mongolia to become Tara? Why?

Same. Exactly. Why is it possible?

That everybody can become Tara. Hasen. Some people say Boyan.

But Boyan means Hasen. Now I'll show you why. Do you remember this thing?

What is this thing? And if a horse comes here, and he comes down here, what does he see? Stick.

He doesn't like it. So human sees as a pen. And a horse sees as a stick.

Why? What is in the horse's mind? Bad karma.

So horse has to see bad things. Then in the human mind is what? Good karma.

So human sees pen. But by itself, without human, without horse, by itself, what is this thing? Yeah, empty stick.

Empty stick. So you have to understand, emptiness and good karma come together. If you understand emptiness, then you have to do good karma.

Because you want to see good things. By itself. This is not good thing or bad thing.

If you have good karma, you see good thing. If you have bad karma, you see bad thing. Now, this thing and this thing, same.

Okay? This is the same. These two.

Same thing. Okay? If you have good karma, you see human arm.

If you have bad karma, you see dog's arm. By itself, what? Stick.

Another stick. Same thing. Moving stick.

Okay? You have to understand that. That is why human can become dog.

After you die. So this is not some old Buddhist idea. Christian people say, after you die, finish.

Buddhists say, your mind doesn't finish. Then mind will see something new. If you do good thing, you see new good body.

If you do bad things, you see dog body. That's why we say, human can become dog. Same as this.

Same as this. So you have to be very careful. Don't do any bad things.

Because this thing and this thing, same. And you can understand. And you know it's true.

That's bad news. But also very good news. If you make very good karma, then what do you see?

Yeah, Buddha's head. I think all the ladies here can see Tara. All the men can see Manjushri.

I have big question to ask you. How long does it take to see your arm as Tara? How long?

Do you have to die? No. Don't have to die.

Now I have little bit difficult question. Did you see anybody? Lama, monk, nun, anybody.

Did you see anybody become Tara? Didn't see. Didn't see.

It sounds possible, but we didn't see. Now I have to ask you another question. Does the horse understand this is pen?

Cannot see pen. The horse cannot see a pen. When the horse looks at this, he only sees bad thing.

Because he has only bad karma. Now big question. If the horse does not see a pen, so is there no pen?

There is a pen. But the horse cannot see it. Because horse doesn't have good karma.

Not enough good karma. And that's why you didn't see people become Tara. Same thing.

Same thing. So in Mongolia, for 700 years, many people became Tara. Many great lamas became Manjushri.

But when we look at them, we see stick. Because not enough good karma. Understand?

So everybody can become Tara. In Christian religion, only one person become God. Only Jesus become God.

That's a very good thing. And that teaching is very nice. But I like Buddhism better.

Because everybody can become Buddha. You don't have to be monk. You don't have to be nun.

But you must do boin. And must do big boin. So now I want to show you more big boin.

But you understand why boin is a good thing. You tell me why. Why does boin work?

Yeah.

[Говорящий 2]
Emptiness.

[Говорящий 1]
Okay. Alright, good. Now we start.

We finished jimbah. Finished.

[Говорящий 2]
Remember?

[Говорящий 1]
Giving. How many kinds? Poet.

Durban. Yeah. First one?

Gives things. Yeah, yeah.

[Говорящий 2]
Second one?

[Говорящий 1]
Yeah, yeah. If everybody does first one, what happens? Everybody has enough food.

And enough money. If everybody does second one, what happens? Yeah, peace in country.

Now I have to debate. It's not true. Because if you help one, two people, that's small thing.

But peace is big thing. I don't believe small karma can make big country peaceful. Okay.

Karmic Mongolian in America? They say, ugwa. What's the answer?

Yeah, small karma becomes big thing. In the ground, small seed makes big tree. In the mind, small good karma makes peace whole country.

So if you want peace in country, you just have to be good to everybody next to you. Your family, your friend. Because...

It's good enough. That's enough. Okay, number three.

Now, you see somebody. Hi, how are you? I like you.

If everybody does that, then what karma? Whole city is happy. Everybody in Ulaanbaatar is happy.

That's number three. What's number four? Number four.

Dharma. You have to give dharma to other people. Do you have to be lama to give dharma?

No. Meaning of lama is teacher. Sanskrit is guru.

If you explain one minute of diamond cutter to another person... If you explain this thing to another person... You become lama.

And you are giving dharma. So everybody has to try. Little one.

Teach one person, two people. In your family, when you're eating dinner, then you talk about dharma. This is giving dharma.

Okay. Now, second thing we talk about sutrim. To be a good person.

And these are ten rules for all Buddhists. You have to tell me first one. No killing.

No killing. No killing people. No killing baby, abortion.

No killing animals. No killing even little bugs. If you keep this...

You'll be very healthy person. Strong. And if you teach your children...

They will always be healthy. Always be strong. Okay?

Now second one. Please repeat. MA JIN LEN MA JIN LEN means taking, stealing.

MA JIN means person did not give you. LEN means you took it. Now, many people here, I think they do not hit people in the street and take their money.

I don't think so. But you have to be careful about the little stealing. Like in your business, you cheat somebody a little bit.

When you go to some government place on the street, then you break something. When you break something of somebody else... Then you stole it.

If you make dirty here some place... Then they have to clean up. And you are stealing their time.

So you have to be very careful. I don't think anybody here is opening bank and stealing everything. But you have to be careful about little one.

And little stealing, little lie. People die very slowly. In this life, usually 50, 60, 70 years takes to die.

Do you know why you die? Why? Little bad karma.

Every day. Every hour. Little bad karma, little bad karma, little bad karma.

Then get old. And get the body sick. So if you can stop all the little bad karmas...

Then slowly your health gets better and better. And inside, there is a special... Do you know channels?

Channels. Inside. You can't see it with your eye.

But if that channel is very clean... Then you are very healthy. And if that channel is choked...

Then you start to get sick little bit. And get old. That is because of small bad karmas.

And in tantra method, tantra way. We do very good karma all the time. Then this channel opens, opens, opens.

And slowly you become Tara. Tara is made by small good karmas all day. Small good karmas to other people around you.

All the time. Then this channel opens. And the body begins to get young.

And then change into Tara's body. And everyone can do it. So in the morning...

When you wake up... You clean your teeth. You wash your face.

You clean the meditation place. You put some nice offering to Tara. Fruit.

Flower. Then you do this meditation. Which we did together.

And then you think about the good thing you are going to do. Small good things. Okay, so Majinle means stealing.

Stealing. And you have to stop the small ones. So have to be careful even with small ones.

Now I teach you number three. Please repeat. Lok.

Yem. Lok. Yem.

Lok. Yem. Lok means bad.

Yem means to make sex. Yem means to make sex. And main meaning is to take another person's husband or wife.

So worst kind of Lok Yem... Is to take another person's husband or wife. And then you do that thing.

But if you even do small thing... Like that... It hurts that channel.

It chokes the channel. It chokes the channel. So...

So what is a small Lok Yem? You like this other guy's husband or wife? And just...

Touch them like that. Or you like their wife? Or...

And you look... Looking like that. This is small bad karma.

Many, many small bad karma... Then you start to get old. And the body starts to get old.

This is why people die. You have to understand that. You have two choices.

If you do many good karmas... And you don't do this small bad karma... Then the body gets better and better.

And you become Dhara. But if you keep doing this small bad karma... Then you die.

This is why. Why is that true? Emptiness.

Because this is empty. If I do good karma... If I have good karma in my mind...

I look down... Everything's healthy. If I have bad karma in my mind...

Look down... Really, I'm not kidding. That's why Diamond Cutter is such an important book.

And in Mongolia for 700 years... That's why everybody used to study this book. So now I teach you number four.

I'm teaching you how to become Dhara. I'm teaching you how to become Buddha. This is the most beautiful teaching in Buddhism.

This is the most beautiful teaching in Buddhism. Zun? Zun?

I don't know if I wrote it right. Zun. Zun.

It's okay? Zun. Zun.

Zun means lying. Lie. I don't believe everybody here is a big liar.

I don't believe... I don't believe everybody is lying all the time. But you have to understand about small lie.

Because small lie makes small bad karma. And small bad karma makes... die.

So here is the meaning of small bad lie. Somebody asked you... what do you think about this pen?

And you want to...and in your mind... you're thinking very bad pen. Or you can say very good pen.

In your mind you're thinking very good pen. But you say... it's a bad pen.

What you're thinking... in your mind... picture in your mind...

and the new picture in his mind... are they same or not? Different.

That's a lie. That's the meaning of lie. What you're thinking...

and you say something... then what he's thinking... if it's a little bit different...

you told lie. This is very difficult to keep. So you have to stop this one.

Now I give you a number. What number now? Then please repeat.

Tama. Tama. Tama.

Okay. Tama is a means... to split up other people.

Okay. You say something... can be true...

can be lie. But you want those two people... they are friends, you want them to become unfriends.

Okay. And this is number five. Now I don't think anybody here is very bad, they want everybody to fight, not like that.

But more dangerous is small one. Somebody ask you... is he a good man?

And you say... maybe... Then already start to split, literally.

So you have to be careful about small one. Because many small bad karma kill you. If you do many small bad karmas...

get old. Get sick. If you do many good karmas...

then feel better. You know in some countries, everybody is fighting. Everybody is arguing.

This is because of tama. Some family, everybody is happy. Everybody is helping everybody.

This is because they didn't do tama. Okay? Now I have to check the time.

[Говорящий 2]
How are you doing?

[Говорящий 1]
Okay, so we have time for maybe two more. What number now? Okay.

[Говорящий 2]
Okay, please repeat.

[Говорящий 1]
Tsik tsuk means to say bad word to somebody. You stupid! You ugly!

Okay, this is tsik tsuk. Now sometimes tsik tsuk can be a good word. For example...

if someone makes big mistake... if you say you are very smart... Okay?

Or someone very skinny... you say, oh, you look very healthy. In the mind you want to hurt them.

So sometimes harsh word is a bad word. And sometimes harsh word is a nice word. Sometimes we do harsh word with bad face.

And sometimes we do harsh word with smile. But meaning we want to hurt them. So you have to be careful this one.

Number what? Okay. Please repeat.

Louder. Again. Ngak gyal means wasting time.

If you want to do Dharma... if you want to meditate... if you want to pray...

if you want to study Nama... this is worst one. Because you don't go to meditate...

you don't go to pray... you don't go to study... you talk.

Oh, who is the new politician? Did you hear somebody kill somebody? I think there is a new war some place.

I think economy is very bad. And now we invented new ngak gyal. Now one big new ngak gyal.

This comes from my country. We call television. It's the best way to waste your time.

One hour, two hours, three hours. Don't make good karma. Waste time.

So try to make less. Newspaper is same. Magazine is same.

Radio is same. Television is same. If you spend all your time like that...

you don't have any time to do Boeing. And I'm saying because I know. Because this came television, this very stupid thing...

it comes from my country. So try to do a little bit. Little bit of television makes happy.

But two hours, three hours, four hours... then you get old. Then you die.

It's not good. Now what number? Number eight.

Please repeat. Napsam. This means...

your friend gets one nice thing. Maybe nice car. Nice wife.

Nice house. And you don't like it. OK?

If you are Buddhist... every Buddhist... wants to become Dhara.

Every Buddhist... wants to become Buddha. Why?

Don't have to die. Very good. Don't have to get old.

Stay beautiful all the time. But also one more important thing. Tara can make many bodies.

Tara can make one new body there, one new body there, one new body there, one new body there. If there's one child on street who needs friend... Tara goes close eyes...

and makes a second body in that place. If there's some older person... doesn't have any friend...

Tara can make new body in that place. In the scripture, in the sutra. Tara can even make bridge over the river.

If this boy wants baby dog, puppy dog... Tara can make dog. So Tara can make many bodies in many places.

Why? Because she wants to make many people happy. Tara wants everybody be happy.

And if you become Tara, you can make everything for everybody. Unhappy. Now what is nabsem?

Unhappy. Other people got something... I don't like it.

They have nice house. I don't like it. They have nice house, horse.

I don't like it. Do you think this karma can make Tara? Impossible.

So you have to stop this one. This is number eight. Now number nine.

Please repeat. N... sem.

N... sem. Nesem.

Nesem is very easy. You see somebody have problem. Maybe at your workplace.

Maybe in your family. Maybe your neighbor. Little problem.

And in your mind, you like it. Oh, that's okay. Everybody is doing this.

Little bit. All of us, you, me, we do this everyday. We see someone have problem.

Someone hit car. Accident. We like that.

We are looking. Not thinking I have to help them. Just something.

Okay, very bad. You have to think, don't think like that. You see someone with problem, try to help them.

Okay, that's Nesem. How we doing? Okay, good.

Now we do number ten. Number ten is worst one. You have to think about number ten.

Please repeat. Lok. Ta.

Lok. Ta.

[Говорящий 2]
Lokta.

[Говорящий 1]
Lokta. Lokta means to keep the stupid ideas. Okay, I tell you the worst one.

I don't believe karma. Karma is stupid idea. Karma only for old people.

Karma only for monks. Karma, I don't believe this karma. Okay, this is the worst one.

Tell me why. Why? I'll tell you why.

If you have this one, then you like to do the other nine. You like to kill somebody. You like to steal.

You like to take their wife. You like to lie. You like to split up people.

What's the other one? You like to have gossip. You like to say hard thing.

You feel jealous. You like it when other people make mistake. Because you think no karma.

Karma doesn't exist. Okay, now you have to understand why karma exist. Some people say karma doesn't exist.

Some people say karma exist, but if nobody sees me, no karma. Some people say if I steal money, if somebody catch me, if somebody sees me, then bad karma. But if I do secretly, maybe I steal this way.

Or I steal in my business. And if nobody knows, everything is okay. No bad karma.

This is lokta. Stupid. Why?

Where does karma stay? In your own mind. Who puts the karma in your mind?

Yeah, these two cameras. Okay, if you see doing nice thing, this is like tape recorder. I see, I see doing nice thing.

Then it's like tape recorder. Stay in my mind. Like music tape.

Like CD-ROM. Stays in my mind. Okay, so is it good idea to hide and do bad thing?

It doesn't help. Camera is there. Your own camera.

Okay? And then, I see later she give me back something. This is also coming out of my mind.

Why? Because everything empty. This thing empty.

This thing empty. If she gives me nice thing, it's because good karma in my mind. If she gives me bad thing, because of bad karma in my mind.

So if she gives me pen, is that good thing or bad thing? But if she doesn't like her, she's get mad. If she doesn't like her, or she doesn't like me, and she gives me pen, she gets mad, angry.

That's bad thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When she gives me pen, I'm happy.

But is she happy? Maybe? Maybe not.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe she did some bad karma. And she sees her give me nice thing.

She says, I don't like it. So, good karma if I'm happy. And for her, bad karma.

She's unhappy. I don't like it. So I have to ask you a question.

Is this nice thing or bad thing? Yeah, when she gives me pen, is it good thing or bad thing? For her?

She said, I don't like it. Hold up. So tell me, is it good thing or bad thing?

Hasen. It's empty. Okay?

She has good karma. I have good karma. It's a good thing.

If she has bad karma in her mind, if she doesn't like it, she has bad karma. So, this is empty. And giving is empty.

Everything is empty. Everything is sin. If you like something, it's because of good karma in your mind.

If you don't like something, it's because of bad karma in your mind. Because everything is empty. This is most important for Buddhists.

This is most important thing in Buddhism. So in the world, there are three ideas. Where did all the bad things come?

Why do people die? Why do people get old? Why a young child has cancer?

Last night, one child came here, and father and mother told me, please pray, she has cancer in the legs. Now, in the world, in the world, there are three ideas. Scientist, Christian, Buddhist.

Three different ideas. Scientist say, oh, this cancer came from bad chemicals. She ate some bad food.

But many children eat bad food, they don't get cancer. Some people eat bad food, they do get cancer. So first one, I don't like it.

I think it's not true. Second idea, Christian idea. Big man in the sky.

Big beard. And he say, this child will get cancer. This child should have cancer.

I don't believe there is such a guy. It doesn't make sense. The child is very beautiful child.

Nice child. So why want to give the cancer? I don't like this idea.

Third idea, Buddhist idea. This child, last life, before, she killed somebody. She hurt somebody.

That put bad karma in her mind. Now when she look at her leg, she sees cancer. If now she does very good karma, cancer will finish.

But lama cannot take away cancer. She has to change her own karma. Okay, thank you.

Now? Okay. Now we start television.

[Говорящий 2]
Okay.

[Говорящий 1]
Hello, and I like to welcome all the people watching on television. And very happy that you can watch. And here we have about 700 very good Mongolian people.

Now we finished three days of Diamond Cutter Sutra. And I think it's very nice because all of them understand it. And they are understanding meaning of diamond.

But maybe in television they don't remember, so I'm going to ask you, what is the meaning of diamond? Hasn. Yeah, good.

Diamond is meaning emptiness. Diamond represents emptiness. And this is most important thing in Diamond Cutter Sutra.

If you understand emptiness, then you understand whole Buddhism. Everything about Buddhism. Because Buddhism has two big ideas.

First one is emptiness. Second one is boyin. Buddha, he taught for 50 years.

After Buddha became a Buddha, he was teaching for 50 years. 25 years he taught about emptiness. 25 years he taught about boyin.

If you don't have emptiness, you cannot understand boyin. If you don't have boyin, emptiness is meaningless. So tonight we're going to talk about emptiness first.

Okay, so we had to talk about yesterday. What is this thing? Butsik means pen?

Some people say pen. Now I have to ask you a question. I'm just checking again, okay?

If a horse comes in this room, he comes up here, he looks at this thing, what does the horse see? Hitting stick. Yeah.

Why? We say horse has bad karma in their mind. And a human has good karma in their mind.

So horse sees a bad thing. Human sees good thing. Who's right?

Yeah, both are right. So what is this thing by itself? Without human, without horse?

Hustle. Empty. Empty, yeah.

Now, this and this, same or not? Exactly same. Exactly same.

If I have good karma, I see human arm. I like it. If I have bad karma in my mind, I see dog leg.

Understand? Understand? By itself what?

Without human, without dog, what is this? Hustle. Just empty.

Now if I do very, very, very good karma, little good karma, then I see Buddha's hand. I think all the women here will see Tara's hand. All white light, very beautiful light.

And always young. Always beautiful. And men can be Manjushri.

Or Yamantaka. Or Buddha. If you make good karma.

Now we have to talk about what kind of good karma. We talked yesterday, I want to, you could tell all the people on television, how many kinds of good karma? Today how many we finished?

Yeah, Arun, ten kinds. First one. Do not kill.

That's bad karma. Makes bad karma in the mind. I have to ask you a question.

Is this only bad karma of killing person? No. Also animal.

Also baby, abortion. Also insect. Why?

They have feeling. Human has feeling. Animal has feeling.

Bug has feeling. If you go bug like that, he runs away. Why?

He's feeling. He understands. So you cannot kill them.

Okay, what's number two?

[Говорящий 2]
Majinle.

[Говорящий 1]
Majinle. Stealing. Stealing.

Now, is it big stealing or small stealing? Few people do big stealing, but we do small stealing. You and me, we do small stealing.

All day. Oh, give me your pen. Thank you.

How much is that setska? Two hundred. Then you take extra ten.

Then you go to somebody's house, you use their telephone. You call long way. You put it down.

You don't tell them anything. This is small stealing. Small stealing.

Now, why is small bad karma bad? This is very important. Very important for Buddhists.

You know, in Buddhism, Buddha said, I know why people die. Lord Buddha said, I know why people die. Buddha said, I know why people get old.

It's not big bad karma. It's many little bad karmas. I tell you, in Buddhism, we say you have inside special channel.

Like small part. Like you use for Coca-Cola.

[Говорящий 2]
It start here.

[Говорящий 1]
It goes like this. And comes down the back. Comes down the back.

And if the channel inside is air, special air. And together with air is your mind. That's why if you get scared, you start to breathe.

This is because of this special air. When you do small bad karma, it chokes. Here.

And if you do many small bad karma, then start to get old. And more and more small bad karma, choke more and more, then start to die. This is a reason to get old.

This is reason why you die. Buddha said very famous Heart Sutra. In the middle of Heart Sutra, he said very famous thing.

He said, if you understand, if you understand about this thing, if you understand about little bad karma, Gashime. Gashime means don't have to get old. Don't have to die.

And this is in the Heart Sutra. This is Buddha himself said. So, only you have to understand about...

Hasen. You must understand. This thing and this thing, same.

If you make good karma, you see... pen. If you make bad karma, you see that.

This is same. If you make good karma, you see human. If you make bad karma, after you die, you see dog.

Okay. But if in this life, if you make many small good karma, good karma in your family, good karma in school, good karma at your work, if you say, I'm a Buddhist, I will not kill anything. I will not steal anything.

I will not lie. I will respect the husband and wife. I will not...
