So, basically we have to understand, constantly suffering, without Dharma, without meditation, without Dharma, without lamrim in the life, without Dharma, without meditation, without lamrim, the stages of the path to enlightenment, without renunciation, without lamrim, without Dharma, meditation, the lamrim, so the, from that, without renunciation, the mind, healthy mind, free mind, from the painful mind, desire, attachment, the poisonous mind, three poisonous minds, the attachment, so you constantly suffer.

But if your mind is in meditation, practicing Dharma, applying Dharma, like taking medicine when you have sickness, like same here, the practicing Dharma, renunciation, giving independence to yourself, giving freedom to yourself, instead of getting caught in this, with the desire, independence, freedom from suffering, inner happiness, peace to yourself. So, for example, meditation, lamrim meditation, renunciation, so, then you don’t have the, this clinging mind to these four things, okay, grasping mind, so then you don’t have also when you, as you don’t have clinging mind to these four, then, when you meet these four, the four undesirable objects, when you encounter, also you don’t have that unhappiness, you don’t have that unhappiness, unhappiness, become sad, unhappy, unhappiness when you encounter these four, four things, opposite, the four undesirable objects, okay.

So, it’s equalized to your mind, these things, the pleasure of this life and the discomfort, however, it’s equalized to your, then receiving material, not receiving material, equalized. The receiving gifts and not receiving, receiving not gift, then receiving the praise, not receiving praise, equalized to you, then reputation and not receiving reputation, , I got mixed up, so, I must keep straight, so the reputation and not having reputation, equalized to your mind.

So, then nothing disturbed your mind, your life is always, always you have inner peace, incredible peace, all the time, day and night, there’s nothing can disturb your mind, so your life is always, so your emotions or your mind is very stable, your life is very stable, there’s no ups and downs. Why your life goes up and down all the time? Why so much up and down, it’s because of these things. Now you know why your life is up and down, because making so unstable, a few hours ago happy, very excited, but, next some hours, crying, so depressed out, or depressed in. So anyway, so, it’s basically, here, expressing our life, nature of our mind, the following desire, it’s like this, living life with the desire, it’s like this. So, when this happens, down, so like that. So, these things happen because of this, desiring this, something, so that, so your life is not free, you’re not free, you’re not free. You’re not free from all this, this, totally imprisoned, totally you’re in prison of the eight worldly dharmas, that, living in prison of that, so desire of this life, totally living in the prison of this.

So, must understand these four things what makes you unhappy is because of desiring these four things, it’s very important. Otherwise, you commit suicide. So that’s why the suicidal thought comes. When you meet these four undesirable things, when you meet these, then you don’t ?know they’re becoming because of the desire in this, and, then, because you’re not practicing Dharma, no Dharma, no lamrim, all this, especially no renunciation, through the meditation, this practice is not there, so then immediately suicidal, you don’t know what to do, you have no other solution, think suicidal, the next minute is suicidal, so, to kill yourself, so that.

So something, I mean this life, this human body, so this human body, I mentioned last night, qualified with eight freedoms and ten richness, and each of the freedoms, each richness that you have is unbelievable wish-fulfilling, more, much more precious than whole sky filled with gold, diamonds, a zillion, trillion dollars, or, maybe dollar’s is down now, so then maybe Euros , Euros, Euros, a zillion, trillion Euros, anyway, or gold. So, or the wish-granting, the highest material possession is the wish-granting jewel, highest, the highest, most valuable thing among the material possessions is the wish-granting jewel.

So the wheel-turning kings and in the past, so those who have a lot of merit, they are able to find this from the ocean. So there are three ways you clean the mud, then, there are three ways to clean, the last one is with maybe cotton or something, all the smell. However, then, you put, on the 15th, on the 15th day, 15th means, doesn’t matter, 15th day, I’m not going to make commentary on 15th day. So 15th day, you put on the roof on the banner, on top of the banner on the roof, there’s a banner on the roof, put on top of that, then you pray, so, whatever material possessions, sense enjoyment, whatever material possession, so you get everything, gets materialized.

So, basically the main, why you get this is, why you get this materialized so easily, can get is because of your good karma, so you have so much good karma, because so much good karma, and then you found this wish-granting jewel, so due to that power, like this, similar, who has a billion, zillion, trillion dollars, so that person has a lot of merit, so, a lot of merit, then, having that amount of money, then you can do project, million dollar project, or billion dollar project, trillion dollar project, you can do. So, I mean make, can help so many people, so many, I mean, for so many people, so much what you can help, what you can do, so many good things you can help others, so it’s like that.

So that itself, being kind and generous, helping so many sentient beings, that itself, by the way, it become the good thing for yourself, that nothing become negative karma, so, good karma for yourself, so that, result is only happiness, and then if it’s done with compassion, of course, bodhicitta, loving kindness, compassion, bodhicitta, then, become cause of enlightenment, all this.

So here, like that, now same, wish-granting jewel is mainly because the person has so much good karma so they get this, and that also has the power so able to give, fulfill your wishes, whatever material enjoyments you want, material success or material enjoyments, whatever you want to get, so it gets materialized.

So, so what I was saying last night, the, so one freedom, there are eight freedoms, one freedom, the ten richness, or ten endowments, one endowment, it’s more precious, unbelievable, more precious, than sky filled with, you own, you possess, you own, sky filled with wish-granting jewels, okay. So I said, yesterday, last night, that if you don’t have this human, maybe put it this way, if you don’t have this one freedom, if you don’t have this one richness, okay, I mean, in other words, if you don’t have a human body, you can say, but anyway, but here, you don’t have one freedom, if you don’t have one richness, there are eight freedoms, ten richnesses, if you don’t have one of these, one freedom, or one richness, so, then, even if you own that much wealth, even wish-granting jewels filled the whole sky, you cannot achieve, you cannot stop rebirth in the lower realms, you cannot achieve deva, human rebirth, you can’t achieve liberation from samsara, you can’t achieve the everlasting happiness, liberation, totally free from oceans of samsaric suffering and causes, you can’t achieve full enlightenment, for sentient beings. So that means can’t liberate the numberless sentient beings, can’t bring them to enlightenment, so can’t do all this. So, if you don’t have, there’s eight freedoms, if you don’t have one freedom, there’s ten richnesses, if you don’t have one, can’t, okay.

Now if you don’t have any jewels or if you don’t have any wealth, any of this wealth, okay, but you have this human, this precious human body, especially the eight freedoms, especially, put it this way, firstly, if you have this freedom, if you have this richness, now understand here, with, for example, the first freedom is not being in the hell, having freedom to practice Dharma, that’s the first one. So now with this freedom, now think this, think well this, now with this freedom, you can achieve happiness of future lives, any happiness, you can achieve liberation from samsara, you can achieve enlightenment.

So now ten richnesses, with one, the first one, being a human being, okay, richness, okay, having this human body. Now with this richness, you can achieve all that, okay, this first richness, being a human being. So each freedom, each richness you can achieve all this, okay. So, each freedom, each richness, unbelievable precious, how precious it is, that, unimaginable, really, this, incredible wish-fulfilling jewel, each one, then, whole sky filled with wish-granting jewels is nothing, the value is nothing compared the value of each freedom you have, each richness you have, okay. [pause]

So this is just amazing, just, again I want to say, again I want to say this, amazing , it’s just unbelievable, unbelievable , anyway, so the, this time, I don’t ?include good success, anyway, so, I should have made some long chanting but anyway didn’t happen.

So, anyway, so this time, the human body, that we received, first of all just have received a human body is unbelievable, most unbelievable, incredible. Then, having received this perfect human body, eight freedoms, ten richnesses, so all the wealth in this world is nothing, so, up to whole sky filled with wish-granting jewels, you own, is nothing, compared to the value of this, each freedom, each richness, I’m talking about. So therefore, all the wealth in this world is nothing, ?essenceless. [pause]

So should not use, therefore, should not use this precious human body, servant, should not use as a servant, material, shouldn’t use this for material, not just for money, okay. So, you use the money, you use the material, if there is to, however, to achieve, so, can be said, to take care of this, but you use this to achieve enlightenment, you use this, as this gives special opportunity, you use this to liberate numberless sentient beings, you use this to enlighten numberless sentient beings. So basically means, the material, money what you use, you’re using to, the ultimate is to liberate sentient beings, numberless sentient beings, who are numberless, and enlighten the sentient beings who are numberless, by you, with this body, okay. So that’s the correct way to use, okay, that.

So now, going back, so, [pause] so Nagar-, yeah, before mentioning that, so maybe, I mention this again, I think it’s very important to analyze, to understand.

So this, how you are suffering when you meet these four undesirable things, that’s easy to, that’s known. But how you suffer, when you meet these four desirable objects, that’s, maybe for some people who has very sharp mind to analyze the life, to analyze your feelings, your experience, maybe those who are very sharp maybe can realize how you, there’s no peace, it’s suffering in the life, when you encounter the four desirable objects. Maybe, maybe the Elvis Stone, how do say? The Rolling Stones, the Rolling Stones says, with the guitar, he said, what did he say? [Students: I can’t get no satisfaction.] Yes, but there’s one, there’s, I think, isn’t there one more word before? [Students: And I tried, and I tried.] I tried, and I can’t get satisfaction. I tried, and I can’t get satisfaction. So he gave, I tried, then didn’t get satisfaction, didn’t get or don’t get? Didn’t get. [Students: I can’t get.] I can’t get satisfaction. I tried, can’t get satisfaction. In five, five words. So that’s, when you relate to lamrim, that’s, in three principal aspects of the path to enlightenment, that’s renunciation. That’s a very good teaching, that’s a dynamite teaching, dynamite on renunciation, the Buddha’s teaching, the heart of the 84,000 teachings of Buddha, the lamrim, the three principal aspects of the path to enlightenment, the renunciation, okay? So that’s a teaching on renunciation.

So what he is saying is that, from beginningless rebirth, the way should understand this is not only this life, the way we should understand this is deep, we should understand, this has very deep meaning, from beginningless rebirth, I tried, beginningless rebirth, I tried, and didn’t get satisfaction, and tried this, tried present, this life, and can’t get satisfaction, okay. So same in the future, so same in the future, same. So this means, you have to understand here, this means, by following desire, so tried, but, I tried, can’t get satisfaction. See, ‘I tried’ means tried, I tried to follow desire, you have to understand the full package, the words, ‘tried’ means I tried for, because if you, you see here, you see here, once you, the minute, no matter even you’re in toilet or bathroom, toilet, wherever you are, the minute when you stop, [snaps fingers] the minute when you stop following desire, [snaps finger] you found satisfaction just there, wherever you are, bathroom or , anywhere, beach, mountain, under the ocean or on the moon, wherever you are, it doesn’t matter, wherever, on the meditation cushion or I don’t know where else, so anyway, wherever you are. The minute when you stop, the minute you stop following desire, you found inner peace, [snaps fingers] satisfaction, that’s it. Wherever you are, you get that.

But living the life, only following desire, so that, from beginningless rebirth, I tried, followed to that, never got satisfaction. Now this life, same, so in the future, future, endlessly, same, never get satisfaction.

So, Rolling Stones, the teaching, , it’s a very profound teaching, very deep, very deep. So you see, I don’t think he was talking just there, where the stage, wherever the stage where he was playing, I don’t think he was talking just that, so I think. So, these are very good songs.

So what’s the time now? [Conversation with Zangpo in Tibetan] My one is, I didn’t change my clock, mine is different time, different time, this time before other country . [pause]

Okay, so one has to understand, the nature of the attachment, what does it do, how does it do, how does it affect to the mind, what does it do, so that’s very important. Then, from there, you understand whether it’s your enemy, or whether it’s a friend, whether it’s a friend or whether it’s an enemy, can realize by analyzing what it is, what effect you get from that, okay, harm or help, to analyze, I’m not saying believe, but analyze.

So, this is what Buddha said. It’s said in Tibetan that [Tibetan], so Buddha said to the disciples, the bhikshus, bhikshus and learned ones, wise ones, learned, bhikshus and wise ones, [Tibetan] so my teachings, what Buddha emphasized is that, he didn’t emphasize the, he didn’t emphasize belief, he emphasized analyze, he told his students, disciples, like how you analyze the gold, whether it’s pure gold or not, first by burning you check, then by cutting you check, then by rubbing you check whether it’s refined gold or not. So like that, check, check well my teachings, then take it, not by faith. So, it means, not by just blind faith, not just, like that, so, without understanding, that.

So, anyway, so here, [ long pause] so for example, the flower here, so while there’s attachment to this flower, okay, by judging this, your own interpretation, you see this beautiful, and then attachment arises, that, grasps, so, by, from that exaggeration then the attachment arises and grasps the object, that which exaggerates beautiful.

So then the, so, while the attachment arising this, it becomes obstacle to see that this flower is nature of impermanence. This is not permanent. There’s permanent, there’s impermanent: the changing, decaying, not only day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second, even within a second, split second, changing, doesn’t last, changing, decaying.

So, the attachment, exciting, beautiful, then attachment arises, grasps to that, it obscures to see the nature of this, impermanence, the conventional nature, impermanence, okay, impermanence, it obscures that, it obscures to see the nature of this, reality or nature of this, so that. So, this impermanent nature, which we have to realize, so then that helps to not arise attachment, anger, all these things, the delusions, so you become free; otherwise it ties to samsara, cause to die and reborn in samsara, and lower realms as well. So, becomes obstacle, it doesn’t allow you to achieve liberation and enlightenment, okay.

Then the other thing is, while the attachment rise in this, it’s impossible to see this is empty, it blocks, obscures the mind to see emptiness of this flower, it blocks to meditate, to see, that this flower exists in mere name, merely imputed by mind, by depending on the base, the subtle dependent arising, okay.

While the attachment rising on this, it obscures, it doesn’t allow to see that this is false. While the attachment arising on this, it doesn’t allow to see that it’s false, that this is false, the real flower existing from its own side, real flower, existing from its own side, this is false, false flower, that is nonexistent, so, empty, nonexistent, empty. So while the attachment arises on this, it never gives any opportunity to, it obscures to see ultimate reality of this flower, so that.

So the, so seeing, discovering that this is impermanent, nature of impermanence, and then on top of that, especially it’s empty, that, then, that able to, that helps to, those realizations able to help the control the delusions, able to control the, eliminate the delusions, and then, achieve liberation, and then we see, allow to see also the bodhicitta, so then, however, to achieve enlightenment, by ceasing this, wisdom directly perceiving emptiness ceases directly the subtle defilements, okay, so that you can achieve enlightenment.

So all this doesn’t happen. Then, that means, you can’t liberate numberless other sentient beings, you can’t enlighten them, can’t benefit them.

So that’s, so, same, on the person’s body, same, so it obscures the mind to see that person’s body, nature of impermanence, and their nature is, so the ?Sang de tak ta zhi, so sang is clean, de is happiness, tak is permanence; dak is the self, truly existence.

So, it’s very important to meditate, to see how attachment harms, obscures our mind, okay, whether it’s your body or somebody else’s body, okay. So the, when the attachment arises on that, so that body, mitsangwa opposite of sang, that sang is wrong view, okay, clean, the wrong view, so the body is, Nagarjuna explained, like the second Buddha, Nagarjuna, who propagated the Buddha’s teachings, especially the teaching of emptiness, so Nagarjuna explained that the body is a container, like a garbage can, anyway, so the body is container of thirty-two unclean things. So, I don’t remember all the thirty-two dirty things, I don’t remember, so it is counted in the teachings, by Buddha, by Nagarjuna. So, anyway, so the body is container of thirty-two dirty things, okay.

So, however, so for example, how the body is dirty, I have one, one guru, I mentioned the name, Khunu Lama Tenzin Gyaltsen, who is great bodhisattva, great scholar, great enlightened being, bodhisattva, what is known is the great bodhisattva, what is known to common people, but I said, so therefore I said bodhisattva, enlightened being but it’s what commonly known to people.

So, anyway, so Rinpoche used to say that, so anyway, so, when the food is on the plate, it’s clean, but then after it went in mouth, chewed, after it went into mouth, and then chewed, bite or chewed, then you spit out, then you spit out, it’s dirty, when you spit out. First of all it’s clean on your plate, then when you eat, chew, spit out, then it’s dirty. Why it’s dirty? So then, so Rinpoche used to say that, anyway, so, why it’s dirty? So, after eating, then when it comes from out of the body, either here or lower, from any part, from here or from lower doors, anyway, so, when it comes out, dirty, so, if the body is not dirty, so that proves that the body is dirty, when it comes out, whether it comes out here or whether it comes out down there, so, you don’t eat that. So that means the body is dirty.

So if the body is clean, then, what comes out won’t be dirty, so like that, it should be edible, okay, drinkable, edible, okay, drinkable, edible.

So, anyway, so that...
