... [...] Oh, I'm done. I'm done.

[05:10]

I'm done. We'll be right back. ... [...]

[06:17]

... [...] Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[07:21]

Yeah. . . . Thank you. Thank you.

[08:31]

... [...] How can we remove the absorbing defilements? We clear away all our teeth. How can one have stayed from growing briars and bramples? Sooty answered, no wisdom can we get a hold of. no highest perfection.

[09:32]

When told of this, if not bewildered and in no way anythous, a bodhisattva courses in the well-gone wisdom. Bodhidharma answered this question, I don't know. Looks like suffering and wisdom are far apart. Samsara and nirvana, not the same thing. Can you enter into their equality? Once a white snake, it came, it took number of flowers on Walter Peak.

[11:04]

At Shaolin Temple, it contained the five petals of Zen. Sometimes, dragon, swallowing up earth and sky, or a Vajrasaur, taking and giving life. Through the Docho Rochi, I have this step. Although like mosquito against an iron bolt. I cannot give it away. Give me your question.

[12:18]

Enlightenment or enlightenment is the same as for a priest. You put a rope in your Zorys this morning. vow vow means to live completely no such thing Yes.

[13:34]

But if I hate it enough, I found that I start to practice. If I take time off, the hate grows. President and answers, president and answers.

[14:38]

Unfortunately, this is one thing that continues. It seems to be a self. It goes on all the time. It seems different. Just walk it. That's the root. You look to see, you'll never get up. Request in yourself. I couldn't decide.

[15:51]

I met a man named Suzuki Roche. I wanted to be both to him. But I couldn't decide. It's just me. We don't decide to be ourselves. Can't hear you. Can't hear the power producing atom, such as it. If you attach to Buddha nature, that is karma producing.

[16:59]

If you enter into your life, the impermanence of your life, if you hold on to that realm, that wanting produces your karma. The fact that you chose that body. The fact that you're a woman. The fact that you're here. You wanted to put things together that way. That's your karma. How do you notice that Marley falls without effort if you're not with it?

[18:59]

There's no reason why we're afraid. What we have to do is find a way not to be afraid. The way not to be afraid is called zazen. Zazen is to be when you accept all those things you're afraid of. for a mother to try to understand how to let go of her body and mind if you lose her child.

[20:27]

Right? Working by law. I know you a little and I think what you mean by love is sin. The meaning of sin is that you look at something and hold on to it. I can't hear you. You mean by love something that you look at, that you can see, open? What is the meaning of openness? Love is what's necessary in order to practice our way.

[21:58]

When it works, it means that for some reason you decide you will devote yourself to something. That something must free you from that kind of mind that can be devoted to something. that we have an object. way out is to let go.

[23:04]

We stay here. We walk through it. But somehow, our mind is let go of that. Where is it breaking in mind when you sit in bed? With this sleep, eventually you'll wake up. Eventually you'll open up to something that will wake you up. There's no reason to be awake.

[24:09]

Unless you're open to everything. Then something will take you away. A person who keeps moving, is suffering. Impacted. Doesn't run away. Always trying to help other people. No idea of compassion. Just do what people say.

[25:17]

Yes. Buddhist are people that we call... Buddhist, non-Buddhist are people that we call non-Buddhist. Otherwise, there's no difference. trying to penetrate through the form of Buddhism. We're using the form of Buddhism to get beyond all forms. And we call that form Buddhism. Your karma is all you have to work with.

[27:10]

It's all you know. All you have to do is let everyone else's karma be yours. That's your original face. Of course not. There's no way to conceptualize it or know it. You should not think about it. You should not try to get back to it. You should get through your time. You should really accept it, the word it is. There's no getting back or getting away from. when you practice makes it possible for the walk through all the things that previously you were afraid of.

[28:28]

So. Hi. What's your name? Because of other names. Because of other names. Settling down on names. We like certain names. Do what is associated with at all. Only in my life that wasn't very good associated with it. We'd see that it was not good at all. Right?

[30:45]

After that, we'll accept that there's nothing to hold on to. First, you must let go before you can accept that you must let go. Both of our problems, yours and mine.

[32:21]

All we can do is practice again, correct? We want something out in the prayer to eat. I'm sorry. How does it react? Nothing changed much. But a certain little trick you play on yourself, it literally falls apart. Then you get another chance to put things together incorrectly again.

[33:40]

For you, right now, the thing you're afraid of is that things that you've made them will fall apart. That is for you, death. We're not distracted from practice. We're distracted from our idea of practice. If you think you're practicing, and then you find yourself distracted from that, the thing you thought was practicing was Practice includes everything.

We can't be distracted. nothing rises not need any more
