Как учить пустоте: ручка (2016, Мексика), занятие 1

[Speaker 1]
So, we spent ten days talking about the places you can go after you die, because the world is coming from seeds in your mind. So, I guess we better start with the pen. Okay, you heard this before, I don't care.

We're going to do it one more time.

[Speaker 2]
We did it in Hong Kong recently, and because so many people heard it before, I taught how to teach it, which is more fun.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, so I'm going to teach you how to teach it.

[Speaker 2]
If you teach it correctly, then the people listening to you cannot go to a bad place after they die.

[Speaker 1]
Why is that? We're going to talk about it for two hours. But if you teach it correctly, the person listening to you doesn't have to go to a bad place after they die.

It's not ... in fact, it's not possible. Okay, so it's important to understand it, and it's important to be able to teach it.

So, those of you who heard it many times, I'll show you how to teach it, and just think if you can help somebody from going to a bad place after they die, that's probably the best thing you can do in this life.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
So, when you teach it, here's how to teach it. First you tell the audience— in Tibet, when we teach emptiness, we often use a pen, and we teach it by asking questions. Then when I teach it, the next thing I say is, do you know what Scott?

What's the next thing I always say just after that? I mean be careful, think carefully. Yeah, British Airways, okay?

So, most countries were taken over by the British in the past. So first, I always make fun of British Airways. And I say, I'm going to ask you questions.

[Speaker 2]
You're going to give me answers.

[Speaker 1]
Please don't be like British Airways, okay? I taught the pen to nine vice presidents at British Airways.

[Speaker 2]
They were having a strike for four years.

[Speaker 1]
Then they ...

[Speaker 2]
they tried many normal business management trainings to help them, and it didn't work. So, they were desperate.

[Speaker 1]
So, they called the weirdest business trainers. Then we went there. Their headquarters is called Waterside.

It's at Heathrow Airport. Yeah.

[Speaker 2]
Then I ... I said, I'm going to teach you about the pen.

[Speaker 1]
I'll ask you questions. You please answer me. And I said, okay?

And they said, okay.

[Speaker 2]
Then I held up the pen. I said, what is this thing? And they all go like this.

[Speaker 1]
They're afraid to say anything. So, please don't be like British Airways, okay? You're from ...

and then name whatever country you're in, okay?

[Speaker 2]
You're from ...

[Speaker 1]
Mexico!

[Speaker 2]
Mexico!

[Speaker 1]
Mexico people are not shy. They will give you answer. If you're in China, you say, Chinese people are not shy.

They will give you a good answer. And ... you have a rosary?

Anybody have a rosary? Just ... in the monastery, we just throw it.

[Speaker 2]
We just throw it. Too small.

[Speaker 1]
Then if you want to make a joke, you can say, why do Tibetan monks use this thing? Then some stupid person will say, they want to do prayers. Whose is that?

Synapse. Is it synapse? Okay.

Then you say, no, no, no. It's not for prayers. It's for hitting students.

[Speaker 2]
You hit them on the head.

[Speaker 1]
They ... you get called red bead head. For two hours you have this on your head, you know?

So, you can tell the British Airways vice presidents, if you don't give me a good answer, our first row gets the old Tibetan treatment. Okay, understand? In the monastery, it's like a wedding.

You throw the rosary.

[Speaker 2]
Now, who gets it, they have to stand up and debate first.

[Speaker 1]
Then nobody wants to get it. It hits them, they're like ... Then what's the first thing you ask?

[Speaker 2]
Yeah, what's this thing?

[Speaker 1]
If the audience ... if only three people answer, you have to ask again. I'm sorry, I need an answer from the audience, not from three people here.

I don't know why the first row is answering. Okay, I can also hit people in the back, okay? What is this thing?

Yeah, good, it's a pen.

[Speaker 2]
Now, if a small dog comes up here, then if you're on a stage, you can sit down on the edge of the stage, and if the dog comes up on the stage, and you show this to the dog, it's good to make some noise, okay?

[Speaker 1]
Then what will the dog do with it? Front row, just be quiet. Yeah, they will chew it.

Next question is what? No, too early, too early. Yeah, does the dog see this as a pen?

No, how do they see it?

[Speaker 2]
As a treat toy.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, so who's correct, the human or the dog? Both, okay? Then it's nice to explain why.

You can write with it.

[Speaker 2]
Human can use it. That's okay.

[Speaker 1]
No, no problemo. And meo wen ti.

[Speaker 2]
Then the dog can chew it. Can enjoy. No problem.

It's real for both of them. Okay, what's the next question?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, good, good, good. Okay, if I leave this here, then you got to make this dramatic, okay? Don't just say, oh, what would happen if all the Dong Zhen people go out?

No, you have to say ... Okay, so you have to ... people have to ...

you have to tell them in a way they can draw a picture in their mind. Okay, so suppose Daniel gets up, and opens the door, and then all the people go out, and then all the dogs go out.

[Speaker 2]
Then you lower your voice. The room is empty.

[Speaker 1]
Nobody's in the room. Daniel closed the door from the outside. Whole room is empty.

No people. No dogs. At that time, then you have to say, which one is this?

Then you should repeat. Is it a pen, or is it a chew toy?

[Speaker 2]
At that ...

[Speaker 1]
and it's important to say, at that time.

[Speaker 2]
Which one is it?

[Speaker 1]
Some ... okay, now listen. This is cool.

[Speaker 2]
We teach many many countries, okay? All over the world, in the third row there's always one intelligent lady.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, but ... and then when you say, which one is it?

[Speaker 2]
At that time, they will go ...

[Speaker 1]
Okay, then you have to ... you have to draw attention to this person. Okay, you ready?

Look at her. She has the correct answer.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, that's the correct answer. It's like ... nothing.

[Speaker 1]
Then you have to jump on that, okay? Okay, all of you guys heard about emptiness. The Buddhist people talk about emptiness.

Then throw in three wrong ideas about emptiness. Emptiness. Some people say, just black.

Close your eyes.

[Speaker 2]
Everything black, black, black.

[Speaker 1]
This is emptiness. When I told that to my teacher, he said, you're a kukpa. I said, Lama, what's a kukpa mean?

It means you're stupid. Then he asked me, do you have a different idea? Yeah, okay?

[Speaker 2]
Try not to have any thoughts in your mind.

[Speaker 1]
That's emptiness. I told my Lama that. I read an American guy's book.

He said emptiness means, don't think about anything.

[Speaker 2]
If a thought comes in your mind, let it go.

[Speaker 1]
Don't attach to it. Then my teacher said, that's emptiness?

[Speaker 2]
I said, yeah. He said, shindu kukpa. Shindu kukpa.

[Speaker 1]
Shindu kukpa means idiot. You're an idiot.

[Speaker 2]
Then I said, no, no, I heard a third thing in a book. Nothing matters, okay? If somebody hit you, don't be sad.

[Speaker 1]
Just like that.

[Speaker 2]
Somebody kiss you, don't be happy.

[Speaker 1]
Nothing's good. Nothing's bad. Don't worry if something feel good, or something feel bad.

[Speaker 2]
It's all illusion.

[Speaker 1]
Then my Lama said, shindu nyi ne kukpa. It means super stupid. Okay, then you go back to the table.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, when the people went out, and all the dogs went out, and there was nobody in the room.

[Speaker 1]
This is not a pen. This is not a chew toy. It's just empty.

It's not anything. Right then, in this moment. Then it's important to get off the stage.

[Speaker 2]
And you say, okay, suppose one person comes back.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, they walk up to the table.

[Speaker 2]
You get to the table.

[Speaker 1]
We both get up. How are you?

[Speaker 2]
I'm good.

[Speaker 1]
Hello. What's that? What's that?

In that moment.

[Speaker 2]
Watch.

[Speaker 1]
Cappuccino.

[Speaker 2]
Cappuccino.

[Speaker 1]
What's that? Okay, in that moment, something happens in your mind. Okay?

Up until that moment, it was nothing.

[Speaker 2]
It wasn't a pen, and it wasn't a chew toy.

[Speaker 1]
Then, you can say halfway to a step, you see it. You can show off your yoga. Oh, look.

Then, at that moment, a seed opens in your mind.

[Speaker 2]
And out of that seed comes a small picture, made of light.

[Speaker 1]
Okay? It's made of light. It's only this big.

It's a picture of a pen. And it comes out of your mind, and it comes on top of that stick. Then, make them answer the question.

Make the audience answer the question. In that moment, what does it become? For me.

Pen.

[Speaker 2]
Get a pen.

[Speaker 1]
Then, pick up the pen. Hold it with the microphone in your hand. Now, I'm teaching—this is for real.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
Make sure it's sticking up. And don't do it this way. Do it this way.

So, you turn to this way. Okay? Then, you use your hand.

You say, everybody put up your hand. Okay? And show me.

Is that pen come from the ... Start with the pen side. Start with the wrong thing.

Is the pen ... Then, go like this. Is the pen coming from the pen?

Or, is the pen coming from me?

[Speaker 2]
Which one? Show me. Then, they should go like that.

[Speaker 1]
Some—one or two stupid guys in the back, they will go ... Just ignore them. Yeah, look, the guy in the back is going like that.

That's correct. It must be coming from me. Next question.

Why? Yeah, good, why? Because if the dog came in before me, when they look at the same thing, then it goes, what does it become?

Yeah, a chew toy.

[Speaker 2]
So, if it's coming from itself, the dog must see a pen.

[Speaker 1]
So, it's obvious it's coming from the dog's mind.

[Speaker 2]
The chew toy. And the pen is coming from the human's mind.

[Speaker 1]
Then, you say, right? This is an old chew toy. This is a 2,000-year-old debating trick.

Just kind of friendly, you say, right? And everybody says, yeah, right, right.

[Speaker 2]
When they see right, they cannot go back. In debate, it's like a game of chess.

[Speaker 1]
They say, right? It's just coming from me, right? And they go, yeah, see?

Then you got them for the rest of their life. Okay? Don't forget, you said right.

It's coming from me. Okay? Then, everything's coming from you.

[Speaker 2]
Pants. Buildings.

[Speaker 1]
Lakes. Your husband. Your wife.

Everything's coming from you. Okay? So, if you know how to plant those seeds, you can have anything you want.

You know, then you can tell them, oh, this guy, Michael Roach, he didn't know anything about business. Nothing. And he stayed, you know, just in a Buddhist monastery.

He doesn't know anything about business. But his Lama said, use these seeds to make a million dollars. Company.

Then he failed. He didn't make a million dollar company.

[Speaker 2]
He failed and didn't make a million dollar company.

[Speaker 1]
He made a 250 million company per year. Largest jewelry company in the world. Bought by Warren Buffet in 2009.

Then people are like, hmm. Wait! Then you say, Scott, do you have a hundred dollars?

[Speaker 2]
So, if we understand how to plant a seed, you can have anything you want.

[Speaker 1]
You can have money. You can have beautiful partner.

[Speaker 2]
Good health.

[Speaker 1]
I started ballet when I was 50. Most ballet people retire at 25. Okay?

[Speaker 2]
So, if you know how to plant a seed, even inner peace, that's to catch all the hippies in the audience. Okay? There's like four hippies in the audience.

[Speaker 1]
Like, I don't want money.

[Speaker 2]
I don't want nice wife. I don't need to do ballet. I just want inner peace.

You see, inner peace also coming from seeds.

[Speaker 1]
Then everybody in the audience, they like Spider-Man.

[Speaker 2]
They want to save the world.

[Speaker 1]
Okay?

[Speaker 2]
So, it's important to say, if you understand seeds, if you know how to plant a seed, then you can help the whole world. One person can change the whole world if they understand seeds.

[Speaker 1]
Deep down, everybody in the audience wants to save the world. Okay? So, don't underrate your audience.

Okay? It doesn't matter where you give a talk. It doesn't matter what country.

It doesn't matter business executives or yoga students. Deep down, there are three desires.

[Speaker 2]
Number one, food. Number two, sex. Number three, save the whole world.

[Speaker 1]
The third one is stronger than the first two. So, if you understand how to plant a seed, then you can help the whole world. Okay?

So, let's go over here. Then you pick somebody in the audience, okay? And you say, do you want to help me with something?

What's your name, please? Juan Bosco. Then you say, Juan, will you help me plant a seed?

Can you help me teach all these people how to plant a seed?

[Speaker 2]
Can you say, so far, I didn't have anybody say no.

[Speaker 1]
Pick somebody who has a nice smile.

[Speaker 2]
Then you try to get their hand up high, until everybody can see it.

[Speaker 1]
Then you say, we're going to talk about the four steps for planting a seed. You can pause until the crying baby is taken out of the room, or you can take duct tape with you to the talk. Okay.

Then you say, we're going to plant a seed. Okay? There's four steps.

Number one, tell me what you want. Then I want a thousand dollars next week. I want to change a hundred dollars into a thousand dollars.

Okay? Then, that's step number one. Step number two, you must find another person who wants the same thing.

And you have to lay heavy on that, heavy, heavy. Say it very ... emphasis, emphasize very much.

You cannot plant a seed without another person. Okay? If you don't want to help somebody else, you cannot use this system, forget it.

[Speaker 2]
Just go home now.

[Speaker 1]
You can be ... be a little bit tough, okay?

[Speaker 2]
Leave right now.

[Speaker 1]
Ask for a refund later.

[Speaker 2]
We will ... we will say no. Okay?

[Speaker 1]
If you ...

[Speaker 2]
if you don't want to help another person, you cannot use this system. Okay?

[Speaker 1]
That's like trying to play basketball without a floor.

[Speaker 2]
It's like ...

[Speaker 1]
try to play basketball without a floor.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
Karma has to bounce off the other person.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
So step number two, choose another person who wants the same thing, or almost the same thing. Would you like to make some money? Yes.

He say, yeah, okay! Yeah! Then I'm happy.

Okay? So, don't forget to talk about that. Don't forget to talk about that.

I'm so happy. I found another person to help. Now I can plant a seed.

Without him, I cannot plant a seed.

[Speaker 2]
Not possible. Impossible. So when you find someone who needs something, in this system, you are like, I found someone who wants money.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, then be happy. Make sure they keep their arm up.

[Speaker 2]
Then, okay, and then say, you ready to plant a seed? Here we go. Make very dramatic, okay?

Hundred US dollars. Now, close his hand. Then let go.

Let go. No, not you.

[Speaker 1]
Then, when I open my hand, this is how karma is planted.

[Speaker 2]
This is how a seed is planted.

[Speaker 1]
If someone explain to you, you can do it. Okay, watch.

[Speaker 2]
One, two, three.

[Speaker 1]
Then it's good to make a noise. Get the microphone close. Let's practice.

Okay, ready? One, two, three. Okay, then when my hand open, there's a picture, like a video, okay?

My hand opening.

[Speaker 2]
That image comes through, you can say, through the window of my eyes, and touches my mind. That image of my hand, it comes through the window of my mind, sorry, through the window of my eyes, and it touches my mind.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, and then it makes an impression. Now, you have to do this correctly. Okay, press it with a finger.

[Speaker 2]
It makes an impression on my mind, and that impression becomes a seed.

[Speaker 1]
After like two hours, okay, this is called, if you want to know, this is called sanskara in Sanskrit. If you have intelligent people there, like Mexico, you can go deeper.

[Speaker 2]
You make an impression on the conscious mind.

[Speaker 1]
Then do the pancake thing, or the tortilla. Up here is the conscious mind. Down here is the subconscious mind.

[Speaker 2]
And that impression becomes a seed down here.

[Speaker 1]
Okay? Then you planted the seed. Then, you should be dramatic, like the guy who got the money, he's like trying to give it back to you, and you're like, no, no, you keep it.

You can make a joke. No, I don't want it back. No, no.

You think I want a hundred dollars? I want a thousand. So, you keep it.

[Speaker 2]
Then you go back to this guy.

[Speaker 1]
No, we're not finished yet. Okay, ready? Don't forget, okay?

You can change the whole world. Then, I like to talk about my mother. My mother was the most generous person I ever met.

She'd give anything to anybody who asked her. She had four kids.

[Speaker 2]
Four sons.

[Speaker 1]
Husband is not there. Husband went away. Okay?

Then, four sons, and she's a school teacher. We don't have money. one day we leave to go to school.

So, five people leave together. Then one day I asked my mom, Mom, we have to lock the door. When you go to work and we go to school, we should lock the door.

[Speaker 2]
She's like, why?

[Speaker 1]
Because all the kids' mother and father lock the door. My mother said, we can't lock the door.

[Speaker 2]
What if somebody's hungry? You know, they have to be able to come in, and open the refrigerator, take what they want.

[Speaker 1]
If we lock the door, they can't reach the refrigerator. And later, she even let homeless people sleep in our bed. You know, sometimes we have to sleep on the couch.

Even her bed also. One day, she came out, she said, you remember that man who came last night?

[Speaker 2]
He didn't have a place to sleep. I gave him my bed. I slept on the couch.

That one cannot come back. Then we said, why mom?

[Speaker 1]
Then she lift up her pillow, there's a loaded pistol. She said, that one I think shouldn't come in. So, if this idea is correct, if karma doubles every day, then when I give a hundred dollars, I can make a thousand dollars in one week.

It will come to me.

[Speaker 2]
It will be delivered by the universe, and I cannot stop it. It doesn't matter where I go.

[Speaker 1]
I can suddenly go to another city. It doesn't matter where you go. Even if you die, it will be delivered.

You carry it here. You carry it in your mind. Even if you die, the next place you go, you will get a thousand dollars next week, okay?

Nobody can stop it. Then the audience is feeling happy. This guy made a hundred dollars.

You know, you should say, don't forget to take your wife to a dinner tonight. Hardin Elninet? Hardin Elninet.

Take her to the French restaurant here.

[Speaker 2]
Okay? Then everybody's feeling happy. Then you say, but that's all not true.

[Speaker 1]
If all this stuff is true, my mother should be richer than Warren Buffet. She gave every day a lot. Then, it doesn't, obviously it doesn't work.

If it worked, everybody would do it. But there's a problem. We see many people who give away many things, they didn't get rich.

My mom died poor. Okay? Then you have to make everybody confused.

You can drink some chai. They're like, first the guy told us we could get rich, now he said we can't get rich. Then you say, my mom didn't know the secret method.

Step number four. Okay? The first three steps, you have to teach it like this.

[Speaker 2]
The first three steps, they plant the seed.

[Speaker 1]
But the seed can stay there for a hundred years and it won't open. You have to put water on the seed. Then if you know the secret method to put water on the seeds, you will get a thousand dollars next week.

Or you can make a company which sells 300,000 diamonds every day. Then, if you want to make a ... if you're in China, you can say, my Shanghai students, they don't say water the seed, they call mama chicken on the egg.

So there's a ... there's a fourth step.

[Speaker 2]
If you know it, you can have anything you want.

[Speaker 1]
You can have a relationship for 50 years.

[Speaker 2]
Forty-eight, okay?

[Speaker 1]
How? You need to put water on the seed. How do you put water on the seed?

Then you can say, you have to do meditation. Okay? And then, you can make ...

you can do a full lotus, okay? No. Just kidding.

He's a soccer player. He's a soccer player. Soccer players have bad knees.

Okay, show them, you have to do a special meditation.

[Speaker 2]
Then they will like ...

[Speaker 1]
then, they think you're going to do some ... everybody will start to go like this.

[Speaker 2]
Then you say, no, no, don't do that.

[Speaker 1]
Left leg first. Right leg second. Do this mudra.

Okay? Then lay down on the couch or something. Just before you go to bed, you should think about the nice things you are doing for this other person.

[Speaker 2]
if I really want a thousand dollars next week, it's not enough to plant a seed.

[Speaker 1]
I must put water on the seed.

[Speaker 2]
So tonight, I must be happy about two things. Number one, he was really happy.

[Speaker 1]
I made him happy. That was a good thing. I did a good thing.

Number two, I'm happy I'm trying a new way of making money. It's so much less stressful than fighting other people for money. If this system is true, then competition to make money is wrong.

[Speaker 2]
The way to make money is to share money.

[Speaker 1]
Then you can use this you know, give instead of taking.

[Speaker 2]
The idea of taking money by business competition is mistaken. You can make 250 million per year in your company by sharing.

[Speaker 1]
And then before you go to bed, you must put water on the seed.

[Speaker 2]
If you don't, nothing will happen.

[Speaker 1]
The seed will open three lifetimes from now. So if you want fast open seed like fast food McDonald's before you go to bed, you are not allowed to worry about your life. My husband doesn't like me.

My boss calls me stupid. My kids always acting up. You know, that's the usual person's way to go to bed.

[Speaker 2]
Seed planter person, I did a cool thing today. You know, I'm trying to make a thousand bucks.

[Speaker 1]
I found some guy to take my hundred dollars.

[Speaker 2]
I'm so happy.

[Speaker 1]
I found someone to take my money. Now I'm going to make a thousand dollars next week.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
The more happy you are, the faster the seed will grow. Okay? We finished the pen.

[Speaker 2]
That's the pen. That's the long story pen.

[Speaker 1]
You can also do it in five minutes.
