Это не эгоизм, если это помогает всем: видение того, как изменить мир (2013, Осло), занятие 1

[Speaker 1]
In India, there's a famous story, Bhagavad Gita, and somebody said, Krishna said to Arjuna, when you do a good thing for another person, don't ask for something bad. Don't be attached to the result of your own karma, karma of love. Don't ask for something, when you give something, it should be free.

Don't say, oh give me something, it should be free. That means, I said, if you understand this system, you can change the world, you can help the whole world. It's not selfish, it's love.

When you use this system to get a boyfriend, this will be love. In Tibet, what they call that? Who said that?

You're a cheat. Bodhicitta. Some of you heard this word, bodhisattva, or bodhicitta.

Then, you know, you say some prayer, I hope I can help all the living beings. I hope I can help the whole world. How can you help the whole world?

You know, we can't even help ourselves. How can you help 7 billion people? You know, we don't have the power.

You're not Spiderman. You're not Ironman. You're just a person, you know.

How can you make a prayer, I want to help the whole world? If you understand this system, if you use it, you're helping the whole world, automatically. Why?

Let's say you don't have a partner, and you want a partner. Then what do you have to do? In this system.

In today, or night time? Which one? Good, good answer.

Those are both stupid. Okay, what's the smart thing to do? Yeah, go visit an old person.

Help a lonely person. Okay, plant the seed, and the boy will come. Okay?

When the boy comes, alright, you have a special job. I'm going to tell you, alright? Then we're finished.

After the boy is planted, and when the boy comes to you, okay? Then you have to call all your friends on the telephone, and say, meet me at the restaurant at 7 o'clock, okay? Call four or five of your girlfriends.

You meet me, I have special news for you. You know, come to the restaurant at 7 o'clock. Then call your new boy or who you found.

Plant it. Forget finding them. Plant them.

Finding means I have to look, I have to look, I have to look. Or money, I have to look for money, I have to look. Forget that.

Plant it and relax, okay? Just plant it, and then it has to come. It will come, okay?

So I planted the boyfriend. Call the boyfriend who you planted. Tell him to come to your apartment.

What time? Same time? I like it.

Tell him to come to your apartment at 7 o'clock. When he comes, give him three glasses of water. Big glasses of water.

Make him drink three glasses of water. Then go to the restaurant with him. Why?

You will be late. 7.30 you will reach the restaurant, right? Indoors, standing at the door.

All your friends are waiting for you. Where is she? She has some surprise.

Oh, look, she's outside. Oh, she's coming in. Huh, she has a boy.

He's pretty cute, you know. She didn't have a boyfriend for five years. Yeah, it's probably her cousin.

I think it's her cousin. Then come in with the boy. When you reach the table, give him a big kiss, you know.

And then all the friends are there. What will they say? Not a cousin.

Not a cousin.

[Speaker 2]
Must be boyfriend.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, it's a boyfriend. How did she get the boyfriend? She's silly.

Then of course you have to talk about the food and politics and the weather. Then what will happen?

[Speaker 2]
He has to go to the bathroom.

[Speaker 1]
He has to go to the toilet. Because he gave him three glasses of water. And he will say, he's like this for five minutes.

Then finally he has to say, excuse me, I have to go to the toilet. When he goes, what will happen?

[Speaker 2]
What will happen at the table?

[Speaker 1]
Everybody says, where did you find him? Where did you find him? Which nightclub?

Which internet?

[Speaker 2]
Nursery.

[Speaker 1]
Nursing home. He looks so young. Then you have to say, no, no, you don't understand.

I planted him in the nursery home. It's a new system. It's a new system.

No more internet. No more nightclub. Nightclub is so terrible.

Smoke and loud music. You are looking for some wood. It's so difficult.

Just plant him. He will come. Then what will happen tomorrow?

Next day what will happen? With your friends? They will go to the nursing home.

Some of them who are desperate. They will go to the nursing home. Then what will happen?

I'm serious. I'm very serious. What will happen?

They will plant a boyfriend. You know that. It's true.

Then what will happen? Yeah, they tell their friends to go to the restaurant. They get the three glasses of water.

Then what will happen? Then those new people will go to the nursing home. After one year at the nursing home, long lines of people.

Can I meet her today? No. Do you have any old women available?

They are all hooked up. Come back next week. Tuesday, 3 o'clock.

She has 10 years. Then old people who are lonely, they will become rare. I think like a drug dealer, there will be old baby dealers.

Do you have a telephone number? Any old baby? I have.

It's 140. Okay, okay. I think maybe boys will meet girls in the lines at the nursing home.

I gave... I taught this in Bulgaria last year. Two years ago.

There's one famous woman there. She used it. She planted a point.

She was walking. What do you call that nice area in the middle? What's it called?

We went to the... the park there. She's walking in the place like that.

She's looking down. She hits some guy. She looks up.

He looks up. They're like... She called me.

I got you. I planted you. We bumped into each other by accident.

We're getting married. She got married. It was very funny.

She said, This is a revolution. This is a boyfriend revolution. Now everybody can have a boyfriend in the world.

So what I'm saying is, when you go to visit the old lady, you must have this vision in your mind. It will spread like computer virus. It will spread.

Everybody said, I didn't get him. I planted him. How do you plant him?

Go to the nursing home. Then it will spread. One person, two people.

Four people, eight people. It will spread in the world. What will happen later?

No more lonely people anywhere. What with money? If everybody understands the only way to make money is to help other people to make money.

Poor people will become rare. It will be difficult to find a poor person. It's true.

How to become young? How to become healthy? One.

Go to the hospital. Then do your... Plant a seed in the hospital.

Then do your work. Then the hospitals will be full of people. Do you have any more sick people to help?

The nursing homes will be full of people. Do you have any old women who don't have a friend? And also the poor people.

Everybody. Do you have any poor people? I met one guy in America.

He came to this talk in Detroit. Then after a few days he came to me. Geshe Michael, I have good news.

What? I found her. Found who?

One woman. She is sick. She is poor and she is lonely.

Think of global change, okay? Think of global change. I gave this talk in China.

I was in Guangzhou. I asked a bunch of very tough Chinese business guys. Then I asked them.

After three days I asked them, how do you make money? They said, plant it. I said, how do you plant money?

Help other people to make money. Then I asked a question. These are tough guys.

Then I said, what will happen if everybody does it? Then the guy said, world peace. There will be peace in the world.

Because no more hungry people. No more poor people. No more lonely people.

No more sick people. Everybody will have fun. When you use this system you are creating world peace.

Boyfriend revolution. Okay? You have to understand that it's not selfish.

It's not wrong to take the old woman to the coffee shop. You are making world peace. You are creating world peace, okay?

Last thing, okay? Then we go home. Then we play one more song, right?

You ready? Our friend, John and Leon. We had an international conference.

Big conference. Many countries came. Each country sent some video.

From Oslo. You sent me a video. Somebody sent a video.

It was Oslo government or something. What was your government? Cell phone.

Or cell phone. They said in Norway, if the young person takes the old person to the film, the old person gets free ticket. Or they both get a free ticket.

Then we said, revolution is beginning in Norway. World revolution is beginning in Norway. So when you help other people, you must have a vision.

That vision is called bodhichitta. That vision is called bodhichitta. What's the vision?

I'm not going to the nursing home to help one person. I'm helping 7 billion people. I'm not helping one old woman.

I'm helping 7 billion people. Because I'm starting revolution. You must think like that.

Then the karma has changed. Then the karma changes. And it will change the world.

And it will make you very, very, very happy.
