Anish Shattaluni Buddha, foremost among speakers, would talk, pretending chorizing, to graciously free us from all self-consult. Amasthamandishra Bodhisattva, Prince of Sweetness and Light, homage to Nagarjuna Dayosho. May their wisdom and compassion sustain us this morning and in compliance to come. The great being, Nagarjuna, opposed to fundamental inverses on the middle way, that you're becoming . That was so gradual.

[01:06]

Pretty good. And my theta inverses is 24.4. It's a way to enlightenment. Because that's just so nature. It's a way to enlightenment as an inherent nature. Then the practice will not be possible. But if the way is practical, your assertion of a way involving self-nature, you could have missed it.

[02:15]

So one interpretation of this is that if the way had self-nature, it wouldn't need us to make any happen. And if there was a way that required effort, it wouldn't be a way of self-nature. This is true. But the interpretation of the Chitimori driving and inspiring to me is that if there were, it picked away If there were an inherent way to practice, then we would never be able to be creative. All the ways we practice would have to be already set. And when there is the practice of the way, you cannot see any inherent nature to it.

[03:19]

Therefore, our ancestors may even perhaps we will be able to creatively and freshly practice the way. Because of the truth, the body through 24, 24, when Kainadaiva came to visit Narvajuna. Narvajuna could playfully and unprecedentedly playfully send in a whole bowl of water. It's the way, having our nature, we couldn't have practiced the way. And because it doesn't, when presented with a bowl full of water, I'm going to dive up to a place on the surface of the water and bring it to Nagarjuna.

[04:47]

Thus, they joyfully realized that they were of like mind. After that, Nagarjuna shared the attitude with Kana Data. who tells you no means one-eyed god or one-eyed man. He shared his seat just like Shakti Nguyen Buret shared his seat with Mahaprabhu. Just like Dobbins and shared his seat with Cole Baker. Just like now, today, The down-the-fly teacher at the practice school shares his seat with himself.

[05:59]

A bowl of water. The people are travelling months carrying those silent kids with them. Because they've had needles. And walking out of the ear to pray for them on the surface of the water. They use the surface on the chin. Imagine how carefully you set the needle down on the circumstance. So don't fall in. Meeting the great openness offered to you. Other translations of this say that you put the needle into the water.

[07:22]

because certainly this needle penetrated the water. But it's also true that when you put the needle on the surface of the water, it also pooped the water. So you can either work a needle on the surface or boomerang. Because the way of Napa, you can read this story infinite ways. You can make this story into infinite stories. Every generation can understand it a new way because of their devotion to the way. They must understand it in a new way because the wave does not have a human existence.

[08:29]

This is the way. This is the tradition. A tradition of constant repression. Because the wave does not have self-nature. And needs constant repression. And is constant repression. Leading in this way, it's difficult to distinguish master and disciple. But truly, these two were not unusual. Anandaga was already a person who raped him when he was alive.

[09:36]

And Nagarjuna did not give him any word of explanation. And Anandaga did not inquire. They just brought him up. But, living at all it was so, there's no apparent nature to that meeting. So you, and must find a new way. Difficult to distinguish. And even though the student and teacher are similar, they are not the same. even though they become mixed there's no traits of mixture even though they become mixed and are similar they don't break down into positive

[11:01]

Next, you know where they are. Put them next to each other, but not the same. They sit together. They're difficult to distinguish. This is the way they are. Last night, I told the story. Like the ball and the needle. And later that night, a middle-aged monk came to visit. We talked about this thing. Before, we tried to do it. You need to, if you like, have a two-part wooden mind seal, or something like that.

[12:18]

I said, please come closer. He said, good night, and departed. And here you are. I stood upright. And banged the cabinets. Later that night. In meditation. I received another visit. This was a. female deity in the form of a monastic Jordan.

[13:20]

She asked about keeping of this lineage, and I told her about Target 2424, allowing her to live with community. But I also told her that the way, the revolutionary way, also has formed, it's not just meant to us, and we use the forms to surface our attachments. to surface our obsessions so that we can realize the emptiness of them. We use the form of the body, the form of the breath, the form of the mind. And by being upright with these forms, you'll notice and acknowledge our rigid responses

[14:39]

I told her of the lineage. We have the ancient teacher, Kajnatara, who's sitting upright and contemplating his breath. Had no obsessions. When breathing in, he did not obsess about the grounds of body and urine. He had no disposition regarding the Fox Founders. He didn't identify with things. He didn't separate them. He didn't say they exist. He didn't say they wanted to. Breathing out. No exceptions. No entanglement. No entanglement.

[15:57]

just upright and breathing them in and breathing out. This was a scripture he'd always be cited. But in a recently discovered diary of this, he revealed his 30 years of practice. And the many obsessions that he discovered while breathing in and breathing out. And how he studied them. Uprightly. And how I defended for writing was revealed. And he became free of obsession with breathing. He became free of the visual responses to inhalation and exhalation. After taking away, he went on retreat in the forest, waiting for the opportunity to be called back in to the messy life of teaching and having lunch.

[17:18]

Roger's houses So the thing I'll hear is, well, what is the practice form? Well, it's just, it clearly works She said, well, I'd like to bring that back. And I said, well, I'd eat. Then she said, how will I know when it's enough? I said, to know when it's enough or even be concerned when it's enough. It's an obsession. As you sit, and the words, is it enough, arise in the world, and you hear them.

[18:45]

You just listen. And that's a posture for the one who hears, and the one who says, is it enough? We listen to the Perhaps lack of confidence, that's the question. Or maybe you hear, it is enough. Listen to that too. That's all. No word reached this rare awareness.

[19:55]

Hear the words, but they don't reach it. Because the mind is not activated by the words. When you hear it, is it enough? It sounds like so much Jomir's Is it enough? Is it enough? Is it enough? All I've got. But our doctor just said, sound like an idiot. It's not enough. It is enough. When it's music, it doesn't reach you. When it's music, it doesn't reach you. When it's music, it doesn't activate the mind.

[21:05]

It realizes the mind. When it's music, the mind does not say it's beautiful. When it's beautiful, you know it's not you. You understand the jewel is not you. Because the jewel did not reach you. And you did not activate your mind around the jewel. Because you're too stupid. And you let whatever cry get on, DJ.

[22:19]

And you don't go someplace where there's less cries. Not that you say, please, close. I think she said, it's quite linear. Are there anyone in it? What's that? That's up to you. This language is not about liking or not liking moving it.

[23:29]

It's not about happiness or being rewarded for what you do. Not large or small. It's just about relinquishing, self-esteem. It's up to see doing it. Making too much out of something. It's not about relinquishing self. It's about not making too much out of it. It's not about yawning at your mouth broken while you're not covering me. No one knows what it's about.

[24:35]

No one knows. It got late and I suggested that nearly she leave and after it threw a cake on my session with her. And she did. And I swept up the pool. When I woke up, under my fellow, I found a new set of sessions

[25:36]

And I've been studying them ever since. Are you clearly aware of what taught you and the obsessions you have about it? And then you can see if you have a lot of your experience. If so, congratulations. Good soon, great. In your case, please be closer. That invitation comes before I speak.

[27:00]

If I think, you might think now that I'm at this mission in imitation, what the He'd like this strap. Oops. I'd rather be too nice to work. I don't know if he took. We have our dream, our ocean teaching, take another complete block.

[30:49]

It comes forward to the block. So when we can, we can really practice.
