As I think you have heard before, there's a scripture which says a bodhisattva should enliven a mind which doesn't dwell on anything. Does it say that in the book someplace? Does it say it in there? Did you see it in there? In that book of serenity? The bodhisattva enlivens a mind or gives rise to a mind

[01:01]

which doesn't dwell anywhere. One translation I think says something like a mind which doesn't depend on a sight object and so on, doesn't depend. I don't think it's a mind that doesn't depend on anything, but it's more like one that doesn't dwell on anything. Because the Bodhisattva's mind does depend on something, but it doesn't dwell on things. So, in the course of being devoted to other beings, in the process of being devoted to other beings, then you might hear the instruction, if you're devoted to other beings, the welfare of other beings, you should give rise to such and such a mind.

[02:15]

Just be careful of the word should. Another way to understand that would be that in the process of this kind of life, this kind of life is the life of the bodhisattva, and that kind of life gives rise to this kind of mind. And of course, if one is engaged in the bodhisattva life, one does not get involved, does not dwell in the idea that one gives rise to something. You don't dwell in the idea that you or I produce a mind. Which is not true anyway, but even if it was true, you wouldn't dwell in that way of thinking that you produce a mind.

[03:18]

But living the life of a bodhisattva necessarily gives rise to this mind which doesn't dwell on anything. It necessarily means that it does, it's natural for it to do so and also that would need to happen because the life of being devoted to other beings means to have no abiding or put it the other way is abiding in things interferes with serving beings being of service to beings works best if we're not abiding in anything so that's the basic principle here of this case is this expression of these three phrases I would propose is coming from a mind which doesn't abide in anything.

[04:26]

And then once these three phrases are given, there's three opportunities or one opportunity with three parts for you not to dwell on those three parts. but not dwelling on those three parts doesn't mean you don't listen to them that you try to avoid hearing about these delicious three phrases but that you hear them without dwelling on them you hear them you hear the discussion about them you hear the comments on them and you don't dwell on any of that stuff that you hear but you do listen to it And since you're listening, if I ask you what the three phrases are, you can tell me what they are, because you heard me tell you what they were, or you heard somebody else say what they were. And you've got a brain so you can hear and understand and remember everything you hear, unless you're dwelling on things, and then you might not be able to hear what's going on because you're dwelling.

[05:31]

So tonight, good night to practice. the mind which doesn't dwell on anything to live the bodhisattva's life in this class being devoted to the welfare of all beings and not dwelling on anything so I don't know if you're ready to live the life of bodhisattva but this is a good time to start you're invited to live the life of bodhisattva for the next few minutes Actually, I would invite you to live the life of a bodhisattva from now on. If you'd like to live the life of a bodhisattva. If you'd like to be devoted to the welfare of all beings with no hindrance.

[06:37]

And having this mind which doesn't dwell on anything. Is this your expression of not dwelling in anything? Kind of a coincidence, you're all saying the same thing. It could happen. This could be it. It could be like this. It's possible. Right?

[07:44]

You find anything you want to say what? Deliberate? You're quiet because you're dwelling in deliberation? I think a lot of people may feel that deliberation may have its problems, but there's a certain safety in deliberation. Because there it is, you can really dwell on it. It may be stuffy and inflexible and kind of heavy and so on, but at least you know what it's like to deliberate. And it kind of anchors you and holds you back, but at least you've got that.

[08:54]

And if you gave up deliberating, would you be safe? And what dangers would there be for you if you let go of deliberating? Right? You'll be silly. You might be silly. You might be silly. Would you like to show us? Banana. Banana? So, did some silliness come? Silly? Are you dwelling in a silly? Lizzie?

[09:57]

Excuse me. It's not exactly not to deliberate. It's not to dwell. Yeah. Oh, yeah! Thank you. it's not so much that I'm encouraging you not to deliberate because not deliberating is dwelling and deliberating in a negative way so deliberation is okay but if you don't dwell on deliberation yeah not dwell on deliberation

[11:20]

Do you want to deliberate? Go ahead. Can you deliberate without dwelling in deliberation? And dwelling and not dwelling in deliberation is almost like not deliberating. So with this encouragement, how is it for you? You're interested in that? Would you please stand up?

[12:47]

Would you please dance? You just say, you have to eat. Yes, Liz? What's happening, but you're not, huh?

[13:53]

You do? Would you come over here, please? Pardon? Would you come over here, please? No, that's interesting. Liz, would you go over... Liz, would you go over there by Berend and take his seat for a second? Do you need some... What is the opposite of neglect, Berend? No... I mean, sit in his seat, please, if you don't mind. Is that okay? What is the opposite of neglect?

[14:56]

Dropping the cell? So have you dropped the cell? Are you joyful? Okay. That's 90%. Yep. What are the other ten? What are the other ten? I have this idea that actually what we are talking about is not saying different things, but changing perspectives. Shall we change the perspective? Has the perspective changed?

[16:41]

That's all . It's interesting to think about it. What might mean, I don't know, but I guess it could be. It's coming from self-centeredness. Such thoughts are arising? Such questions? Right? playing fantasies.

[17:50]

Is there some playing with fantasies going on? Good. Are you feeling self-conscious, Liz? Are you like Are you relaxed with this self-consciousness? If you walk over towards me, does it change? Would it change? Did it change? No, it's still arising. Are you more or less comfortable or more or less relaxed with it now? Yeah. How? More relaxed with it? It's hard for me to speak because I'm flying to judgments in my own mind so fast.

[18:55]

There's judgments flying around in your mind? Yeah. And are you relaxed with them? No. Could I help you relax with them? If I suggest you could relax with them, would that help you relax with them? Yeah. It would? If I touched your hand, would it help you relax with them? Yeah, that would help. So what are the judgments? Are they just flying around but not being so... not being so... bothersome now? No, they're bothersome. Are they less bothersome? Pardon? They're a deep habit, right. Deep habit. Right, but can you relax in the midst of all these judgments now that you're holding my hand? Yeah. Part of me relax. Yeah, part of you.

[19:57]

I mean, can part of you relax with these judgments? Yeah. Yeah. Completely relax. Can you completely relax? On the ground. Okay, go ahead, go on the ground. Would that help? Out of the circle. Wood being on the ground? Out of the circle? Okay, so it really... Out of what circle? What circle? There's a lot of circles in this world. Which circle are you referring to? Did you say you want to get out of the circle? Is that what you said? Yeah. What circle do you want to get out of? These people. Who are other than me. I said that now. Just a second here. Just stay here, Liz. Oh. What did you want to say, Kara? If you all went over it where?

[20:59]

Would it help if they moved? Would that make any difference if they all kind of made a heap over in the corner? No. That wouldn't help. What would help, Liz? What would help? What would help? What would help? Tell me this mind isn't something I have to listen to. I listen to all the... Wait a second. I asked you what would help, and you told me, okay? And I appreciate you telling me that telling you that you don't have to listen to this mind would help, okay? So I'll tell you what you told me to tell you, okay? You don't have to listen to this mind. Okay. But I would recommend you do. Okay. But just listen to it. But don't attach. Don't attach to it. But, you know, saying you don't have to listen to it is like pouting or something like that.

[22:03]

Just listen to it. But it's just a bunch of judgments, you know? Like, would people judge her? Just judge her, okay? Go ahead, judge her. Do you want me to tell you what to say? Tell them what to say. Tell them what to say. Tell them what to say. You're taking too much time. You're in the center. You shouldn't be in the center. Why are you in the center? Say that. Say that. Say that to her. Say this. Come on, say it to her. No, they don't want to say it. They're not under my control. Okay. You'll pay for that. You're manipulative, you're making this happen, all these things. They're calling you manipulative? Yeah. You're like trying to get a lot of attention? Is that what you mean? You're manipulating the situation, so you're getting all the tensions, and you're like the star of the class, that kind of stuff? No. Not that. Just your manipulative. No, it's just painful. It's just painful because of the manipulative accusation? Which is an old tape.

[23:03]

It's an old tape. An old tape's getting played right now. Now, if you went back and sat down, would that tape go off? Would it stop? It would stop? No, it would probably go for another half hour. Half hour? okay so let's say it goes for another half an hour okay it might right it's possible and they won't keep saying it to you for another half hour i try to get into it but they won't question is can you not grasp that tape yeah you can yeah i agree that's that that's the point see the bodhisattva In the effort to help these people, these people needed you. If you knew that they'd die if you'd grasp that tape, maybe you'd not grasp it, right? If you'd die if you'd grasp that tape, which might happen actually, you might not be able to not grasp it because you'd think, well, I probably should grasp it because it would be selfish not to grasp it just for my own welfare, right?

[24:05]

So I'll grasp it. But if they need you not to grasp it, you might be able to not grasp it. I mean, you might be able to give up grasping it. It would help you, wouldn't it? Do you need her not to grasp it? They need you not to grasp it. I mean, if you continue to grasp it, you know, they'll get by. But eventually they need you to do this, I think. Don't you? Because then you're going to be more available to them because you're not going to be busy grasping this, whatever that tape was, I forgot. Do you remember what it was? What was it? Just a whole lot of negative stuff. Okay. So these people need you to be freed up to help them by not spending your time grasping any negative stuff or positive stuff. Do you need her also not grasp positive stuff about herself if that ever happened? So if any positive tapes, like Liz, you're like actually not manipulative and you're like, you know, one of the best Zen students of all time.

[25:11]

If that tape happened... So Matt, what'd you say? What'd you say? Thanks, Mia. Thanks, Mia. Thanks, Matt. You're welcome. And Matt made a funny joke over there. He said, grasp that positive one for a while. Yeah, but he was kidding. He doesn't really want you to grasp that either. He wants you not to be distracted from taking care of him by grasping your positive tapes. And maybe these people would, you know, if you're going to grasp any tapes, maybe they'd like you to grasp the positive ones, but actually I don't think so because they don't like it. People walking around grasping positive tapes, they call them arrogant and attack them. So one of the nice things about grasping negative tapes is that people don't attack you quite as much for grasping the negative ones as the positive ones, so they're safer in a way. But grasping neither is not really safe, it's just liberating.

[26:16]

So. You're welcome. Now, would you stay here a little longer? Yeah. Thanks. Yeah, right. Anything else? You don't have to leave, Maya. I mean, I wasn't sending you away is what I meant. And if I sent you away, you don't have to go. Watch. Go away, Maya. Go back to your seat, Maya. I'm with her. Um... Would you come up here, Helen? I'd like to say to Liz that I don't need you to not grasp your positive or your negative thoughts.

[27:25]

That I appreciate what you've just been doing with all the grasping that's been going on. Maybe you don't know what's good for you. What I received is the death that I could receive. What I received from what But she still needs you to do this, even though she's happy with what you've given her so far. She needs you to do this. She needs this to be accomplished in your life. She needs that. But it doesn't mean that what you've given so far is not totally appreciated by her. So you've already been helpful, and she needs you to be helpful in this new way, too.

[28:30]

We all do. But that doesn't mean we don't appreciate the way you are right now. Even if you're attaching to some judgment you have of yourself, we're still appreciative of you right now the way you are. We're not in a hurry for you to be any other way at all. Yeah, yeah. Is there anything else you want to say right now? No. Shall I sit down? Say it, Helen. Say it. No. Do you want to say it? Please stand up, Jackie, and say something. I think you just spoke for Helen. You do? Thank you. And what more would you like to say about that? That's it.

[29:35]

That's it? Okay. Yeah. Did you speak for anybody just now? I did. She said for Helen. She thinks she did. Are you speaking for her now? Are you speaking for her? No, I'm repeating certain words. Oh, you're just repeating. Right. I don't know what her intention to find it was. Well, you did what Andy did last week. Oh, stand up, Cedar. Now, Cedar says that I did what Andy did. Didn't you? You said that, didn't you? You meant that, didn't you? Isn't that what you meant? Huh? Yeah. I spoke for you that time. Pardon? She said, I did the same thing Andy did last week. That's what she said.

[30:35]

Now, what should I do when she says that about me? Telling my truth. That's a good idea. What's my truth? Well, here's my truth. I'm telling it. What is it? What's my truth? What's my truth? To be helpful. Thanks. This is getting goofy. Goofy? Is that a judgment? Yeah. Can you relax with that one? Okay, good.

[31:41]

I'm not Olivia? Can you relax? That's another judgment. She judged me as not Olivia. That's a judgment coming off. No, it's just I'm used to playing with the baby. You're used to playing with babies? That's all? That's all. That's all, okay. And when you said you're used to playing with babies, does that mean you think I'm not a baby? Is that what you mean? You're judging me not a baby? Yeah, you are. I don't belong in the baby category. That's your judgment. Right? Judgment might be kind of a strong word of my category or my... It's a strong word, I know, but it could be used that way, like you judge that I should not be put in the category of baby. It's fine. I mean, I'm not saying you should put me in the category of baby. What am I suggesting? Loosen up. Loosen up.

[32:42]

If you put me in the category of baby, don't be tight about that. Just realized you chose to put me in the category of baby, and you chose not to put me in the category of baby. You could put me in the category of baby. You could do that, and then somebody might say, well, that's an unusual judgment of him and putting him in that category. People might say that. Anyway, you're used to playing with babies, right? Yeah. But you're not used to playing with adult males? No. Well, I'm not exactly adult. I'm past adult. I'm an old male. Soon to be dead. You ever played with nearly dead males? Huh? Not often? Well, here's one that's available to play with. I'm available to play with. Huh? She knows. You can come and play with me too, Klaus.

[33:44]

You're almost dead yourself. And you are mild. Yes, and you are mild. And you're making lots of comments. Right. Please come out in the middle of the room. More in the middle, please. More in the middle. Stop. Thank you. What? You can? Do you think I manipulated you? I don't think I manipulated. I just told you what to do and you did it. I didn't manipulate you. I'm just talking. I'm not manipulating anybody. That is an illusion. Oh, are you about to move and do something, Gwen?

[35:17]

No? Gwen? Please come. Setzeren-san, please come. Do you know her, this woman that's coming? Yes, I do. Is there anything you'd like to say to her? Huh? Sure. What? What would you like to say to her? Oh, good. I'd like to tell her that I really appreciate her. I'll help you date me once spring.

[36:27]

Excuse me, would you come out here, miss? Ma'am. Ma'am, right. You all used to be a missus, right, for a while there? Mrs. McCarthy, right here. The former, the former great and famous Mrs. McCarthy. Still McCarthy. Still McCarthy, but not missus anymore, right? Is there anything you'd like to say to Gwen? Is there anything you'd like to say to Cedar? Anything you want to say to Cedar? What are you doing way over there? Feeling lonely, actually. Would you go hold a hand, please? Yes. Patrick, come up. You're blocking Jackie's view of her.

[37:33]

You're blocking Jackie's view of her. Jackie, come on, Jackie. Come on, get up. Get up there. Come on. May is getting away. May is getting away? Yes. She's getting away? We do. We need you to express the mind which doesn't dwell on anything. Is this the expression of it? David can do that way better. Are you clinging to that judgment? No, it just... It's gone? Passed? Okay, great, great.

[38:33]

Are you ready to be chiseau? No. There we go. There we go. You're taking... I don't know where you're going. You're... You're moving in response to something. Have you noticed? You're responding to something. You can only just go so far with that. You can only go so far with that. Thank you. Thank you.

[39:45]

Did you say God? Did you thank God? Carol and Andy are sitting next to each other tonight. Carol and Andy are sitting next to each other someone pointed out. What did you say, Anna? Right. So what phrase did you attain at? You haven't attained anything yet?

[40:55]

And what did you say after that? That's the truth. Are you dwelling in that non-attainment? Are you dwelling in it now? So you're not into non-attainment anymore? You're beyond that now? Congratulations. How does it feel to be free? Dave, please come. How's your health? It's okay then. You had a cough for a few weeks, huh? Mm-hmm. How are you feeling now? Okay. Okay? Is there something you'd like to tell your classmates?

[41:58]

Maybe I should ask what the joke is. Would you please tell them the joke before I tell you what it is? I don't think I can. You can't? Well, then tell them a joke, please. Well, I was walking in my neighborhood the other day, several weeks ago, and there's a homeless person who lives in the neighborhood there, and he's kind of a hostile Vietnam vet kind of person, and he's always been very hostile to me. A couple weeks ago, I was walking by him, and I suddenly noticed, you know, he was looking at me, and I suddenly realized he had really clear blue eyes, and he was looking at me, you know, very vividly. And I wasn't standing up very, very, very correctly. And he said, he looked at me very clearly and said, he said, please stand straight.

[43:04]

He said, please stand more straight. Isn't that great? It's great. I wanted to tell you that. Thanks. Being upright. Yeah. It's pretty great. It's great. Yeah. He was right there. Yeah. And what was your response? I'm ashamed to say I was so upset. It made me very upset. Really? I just walked past and wasn't able to say anything. Wow. Except that now I'm telling you. Right. You think you'll go back and visit him? I see him, yeah. Thank you. Are you going to walk by nice and straight next time? He stands up very straight. Are you going to walk by straight? I hope so. Okay. He said, please stand more straight. Fantastic. What more can you ask? Well, you could ask for more, but that's an excellent thing to ask for. John, could you come up here, please? John feeds homeless people.

[44:06]

Do you know Dave? No, I don't. Dave John. I think you guys might be good friends if you had a chance to get to know each other. No, it's okay. I just wondered who it was. Is there anything you'd like to say to Dave? I liked your joke. I laughed. You did? You laughed? Yes. At what point? At the end there. I was just trying to recall what I laughed at. I walked away. I laughed at that. Wow. Did you have to tell him the story? No, I don't think so. You don't want to? Is there anything you want to tell him? Well, now I'm thinking. I know, but before you thought, was there something you wanted to tell them?

[45:09]

Yes. Yeah, what was it? Before I thought, I wanted to say something about, I found your story irrelevant, and that's why I laughed. You found it. Irrelevant. Irrelevant. So I laughed. That was a joke for me. And you hesitated, even though I asked you again, you said you hesitated to say it. Maybe I was not being polite. Yeah. Stop that thought. Yeah. In this class, there's no such thing, you know, rigidly out there called being polite. We have, you know, no fixed ideas about polite here. Relevance? Well, we have relevance, irrelevance, polite and impolite, but we don't grasp them in this case, right? Is that right? You understand? Did you understand at least that? That we're not grasping thoughts here? Right?

[46:10]

Okay? Right? Okay. Eileen, would you please come over here? Is there anything to express? Yeah. But I've been dwelling on this all week, so... You have? Do you have anything to express from non-dwelling? I really appreciate your, like you said, I never heard this week before, and I like moving it. Thank you. And now I'm avoiding it. Would you please come up here?

[47:12]

What's your name? Was your name Matt? Matt, would you come up here, please? What do you have to tell us about this case? Gordon, can you come up here, please? What do you have to tell us about this case? What I've noticed about this case is that I only appreciate it in retrospect. What do you appreciate now? Cave story. What's the case? What's the case? Yeah.

[48:19]

What do you appreciate about it? What do I appreciate about it? You're taking too long. Fred? What do you appreciate about this case? I'm not like this. Okay. Would you tell him a thing or two? That's already too much. Would you tell him a thing or two? That's too long. What? I'm not ignoring it. I'm not ignoring it. I'm just not calling on you. You do? Well, if you can say something relevant, you can come up here.

[49:29]

Why do I have to come up here? I can say... You don't have to come up here. Pardon? You don't have to come up here. You don't have to come up here. I'm here. Welcome. Are you free of Fred? I want to talk to him. You want to talk to Dave? Yeah. Well, please. I was going to say that so far I've been most moved by what you said about the man with me, vivid blue eyes, telling you to stand up straight. Because to me that was so intimate that when you said that I was deeply moved. That's all. It was the most intimate thing I've heard all night. So it really moves me a lot. Hmm? Okay? That's all I have to say.

[50:37]

Really? Yeah. Thanks for saying it. Thank you for letting me. Would you stay here for a little while? Pardon me? Would you stay here for a little while? Okay. Are you people okay? Everybody up here all right? What's the matter? Nothing. You went, mm-hmm. I'm fine. You're fine? You're cool? Yes. All right. But now would you tell people something interesting? You're taking too long. Would you say something interesting, please? There was this man once. Yeah. And he talked about... Would you say it to those people over there? There was this man once. He often talked about how we're all alive. Like, as if we were all separate with our bodies and beings and our minds. And one day, he was walking down the street, and that's it. That's it? Yeah. Would you please finish that story?

[51:39]

He was walking down the street and he realized that was it. But that's already elaboration. Thank you, Fred. Christina, would you please come up here? I can go quite a ways with this now. Does that say om? Would you say om, please? Om. Is there anything you'd like to tell us besides om? The moon sets at midnight, going through the marketplace.

[52:46]

What? It's going very fast. That's fantastic. It's my own bow. It's fantastic. Are you going to be okay? I'll be fine. Can you sit down now? You want to sit down? I'd like to, please. Would you stand up? Even if you want to sit down, would you stand up? Yes, I would. Would I sit down right here? No. You want to sit down over there? Well, now I want to stand up. Okay, there you go. Stay there. Simon, please, come. Hello.

[53:46]

Hello, Simon. Welcome to Case 76. No, it's stopped. What's it called? Fantastic. It's fantastic. These people are alive. It's fantastic. You should hear this. Wow. I think I can hear it. It's amazing. Carol. Oh, yes, Simon. Yeah, I had something to say. All right. You're standing upright, so... There you go. Way up there. Okay. It struck me earlier on, and I've noticed that it doesn't seem to apply universally. But people who are playing, play acting, acting a role, find it easy to get up and say things in this kind of circumstance to strangers where it's possibly dangerous because they're not exposing themselves.

[54:57]

And I was wondering, do you feel that you're exposing yourself? Because I was watching it, it seems like you're playing a role. No, I'm not exposing myself. I'm hating. Come and get me. Come on, come and get me. Come and get me. How can I, how can I be, how can I be, what do you call it, in danger here? How can I get out of my role and be in danger? What do you think about? How can I drop it? I'm not very good at playing a role. I don't think... But then maybe you could tell me how... Maybe you could tell me how to land her up, but then if you don't... Well, I'll have to... I'll have to have one to... Well, to learn how to drop it.

[56:03]

Here comes Greg. Ta-da! Ta-da! Oh, whoa, whoa! Resisting is also elaboration. I speak, therefore I am loved. Thank you.

[57:06]

Come up here and Jordan Roy Roy What do you make up this case? Nothing I'm totally confused That's already too much I think I've said enough Are you feeling nervous? No, thank you. You don't need that, do you? No, I don't feel like... Fred? You look pretty good, Fred. Everybody can hear you without it. What? There's a point. I transferred the... The Dharma?

[58:11]

The Dharma. I want submission. You look like you're waiting. Speak. Speak. He's silent. It brought that funny. Yeah. [...] That one will kill you. Well, I bet. I told you especially goodbye.

[59:16]

I am, I, I, I beseech you to come up. We don't marry you. You're here. Hello. I'd just like to introduce Linnea, the, you know, one of the star members of general labor. General. General labor. Brad, Brad, can you do this?

[60:30]

It seems so far ahead. Something separate? Yeah. You're worried about the thing, though. Well, this thing now itself just seems like this form is really... It's interesting. I know. That's my boss. That's why I didn't even talk to. But with the black man, you can use the power, isn't it?

[61:39]

You said we're in black, please. Good job. Hello. You may not know this, but this is another ace member of our general labor team. General labor is really in good form tonight, don't you think? You don't care about that, I suppose?

[63:08]

I suppose it's missing. It's a backing position . . . Fred was on a roll. I spoke to Fred. I don't think he needed me help. He was doing very well. He was. What is the bottom line? What is the bottom line? I don't know. So do you think you'd be nice to meet you?

[64:28]

Forfeit myself. Forfeit myself. Thank you. Thank you.

[65:33]

Thank you. It's correct, man. I'm just here.

[66:35]

I just sit silent and I don't know if it was foster. I'd like to perform the text. Oh, you're sorry, you're going to pop, [...] Maybe I can get it back. Do you want me more than one spouse?

[67:51]

Pardon? I'm not proud to be able to help you. [...] Is this an example of a society or a society? What is it? What did he say? Oh, it's not. Project with their buttons. Everyone should slide up behind and make a pic. Thank you, sir. That was great. Yes, Captain.

[68:53]

[70:19]

No. She wrote a poem about the dog that she taught me at the end. She didn't want to share it. She didn't say it for the dog. He takes for her. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to bite you if you want. Help, darling. Let's see. or in that home scarlet. You'll hear that in your speech. Yeah, I'll hear it. Crippily apart, not touching each other. It bleeds. Leeds to the stand quite hard. Very spectacular. The beauty of red that will be as long as sweet. I don't like without salt.

[71:24]

Thank you. All right. Very soft. Yes. Oh, people. What's this? Like, just grab and sign it? Well, that's what you do. Brad?

[72:27]

What? Okay. Oh, there I am. That's your chance. Wait, use the spot. He should be in. . [...]

[73:39]

That's it. I'm sorry, but I forgot more to me. But the people that people are simply being serious, I mean, they don't think they're nervous. They don't think they're so easy to deal with stuff. It's a stereotypical role. And it's kind of like the feeling that after people Yes, sir, we need to please stand up.

[75:06]

I think . that all of us could have a conversation. Conversation. Well. Well. Penetrating the city.

[76:14]

That's what I'm meditating with. How about you, Jen? Me? Yeah. What are you meditating on? None of the breaks is here. What are you meditating on? Right now, what are you meditating on? Resting. Resting? Matt, what are you meditating on? Catherine, what are you meditating on? What did you say? What are you thinking about, Liz?

[77:35]

Any resting, Courtney? What's happening? You are? You want to rest in the agitation? Yes. One of the great staffers, I thought I think she was . So .

[79:05]

You know the words to stop and feel forever. Stop and feel nothing. Okay, living is always close. Sing it. Let me take you. Let me take you. Let me take you. And I don't teach you the other one. So I'm going to be friends forever. There must be five more.

[80:16]

What's the other role that is that when she can't turn it, let it's all alone. And yet is I think it's not too bad. Look at me. I was thinking about, this is the word Duncan said, all my life I search for one of the things that's good. So I really appreciate the just speak, exactly how I feel like. Do you people feel able to express yourself now? Are you holding back at all tonight?

[81:19]

Who said that? Jesse, would you come out here please? Tell me more about how you're holding back. I am nervous and anxious in many ways. Yeah. To go full on with a lot of things that it's supposed to do. Right now? Right now? Anything? Not right now. But I mean, I... Various points this evening? Yes. You held back? Yes. And I think it... Do you know what was holding... Could you sense what was holding you back? Insecurity. What did you think would happen if you expressed yourself? I'm not sure. I'm not getting any reaction to that question.

[82:21]

But now you're coming out pretty well? Feel okay now? Yeah. Good. That used to be my sweater. Thanks for wearing it. It looks better on you than it did on me. Was that pretty much... Did you let that one come? Yeah. So please... Continue to let those obnoxious remarks come. Good night, Linda. Thanks for dropping by. And thanks for bringing the strawberry. Would you like to take it with you home to your family for dessert? Who are you going to give it to? Well, since it's nine o'clock, perhaps the rest of you would like to move along back to your homes.

[83:34]

So maybe next week we can continue this expression of the bodhisattva's life, of expressing, trying to find what it is to express the mind which doesn't abide on anything. And resting in whatever's happening is in accord with settling into that place of non-abiding. So best wishes to you on the bodhisattva path. May our intention
