Медитация 1

[Speaker 1]
You ready to dance? Okay, so get ready. Step number one.

Turn off your phone. We're gonna go up through the ... it's really nine, right?

Then when we get to past the fourth formless realm, we'll go to the lamas, okay? The emptiness of the lama. The emptiness of the lama is interesting because the lama is supposed to teach you something you don't know.

But you are creating that lama. It's funny, right? So you are creating someone to teach you something you don't know.

And that's the emptiness of a lama, okay? Okay, they are coming from you. How can it be that a lama which you are creating teach you something more than you know?

How can it be? Huh? Wait, somebody got close.

Yeah, second law of karma. Who said? Oh, Tim?

[Speaker 2]
Okay, second law of karma.

[Speaker 1]
Right?

[Speaker 2]
In the same way that you can make a lot of money by helping someone else make a little money, then ...

[Speaker 1]
then you can create a lama. Who can teach you something you don't know. Okay, and that's the emptiness of a lama, okay?

So, emptiness of lama doesn't mean lama's head is empty or something. Like, maybe it is, but ... Oh yeah, uh ...

Can we record this lion's dance today and then make it available on the ACI website?

[Speaker 2]
So, I would try to make two independent recordings, right?

[Speaker 1]
Because the demons will break one of them. Okay, okay. Okay, so we're going to go to that last step ten, right?

Emptiness meditation. We could do the emptiness of your partner who yelled at you last night, but the emptiness of your teacher is a big karma teaching. And we're going to use the emptiness of the teacher to review what we learned about karma, you see?

So, when we get to the emptiness of the teacher, why we chose the teacher? Because I want you to go back in your lifetimes and continue this movie, okay? So, within a month it should ...

after a month of WeChat, WeChat? What's up?

[Speaker 2]
What's up? Sorry.

[Speaker 1]
After a month of What's Up, this movie about your past life should be like a Japanese epic, you know, four-hour movie. Okay? So, what we do today, I want you to keep doing.

And part of seeing emptiness is to see why were you born here? What caused you to be born here? You know, what caused you to meet your teacher?

That's a meditation on the Wheel of Life. Okay, so traditionally, the Wheel of Life is the subject after you do the Dance of the Lion, okay? So, really we're going to do Dance of the Lion, then we're going to do Emptiness of Lama, and part of the Emptiness of the Lama is, where did they come from?

What was the seed? Okay? Then we'll come back to the Lama's face, because it's good luck to stop at the Lama.

All the books repeat over and over again. That when you meditate on your Lama's face, focus on the eyes, and that the eyes are loving you, that the Lama loves you. Somebody should open the door quickly, quickly.

Three important things coming in. One student and two cappuccinos. Okay, so, we're going to do it—oh, it's for me.

Oh, Instant Karma. I thought it was for somebody else. Okay, so, you know, we're going to end it on the loving eyes of the teacher, right?

Then, don't forget at the end of the meditation, three long exhales. Don't start moving when I say three long exhales. Don't start doing your stretch, but you still have some job to do.

You are doing three long exhales. Imagine like a golden light, okay? If you want to be a big yogi, you can do it out of here instead of out of here.

These are kind of dirty, but this is kind of cool here. Okay, the air comes out of here, but you imagine it's coming out of here. Okay, and so please don't move before we do the three breaths of dedication, okay?

Okay, and then, you know, those of you who want more, I'll talk about it after the meditation, okay? There's more ... there's more steps you can do, okay?
