0:01:21.583,0:01:24.116 If I am here, it's because the Sangha is here 0:01:25.399,0:01:27.693 I smile at my sangha 0:01:31.256,0:01:34.766 Sangha is here, smile at the sangha 0:02:49.902,0:02:52.423 Hello, dear friends 0:02:52.627,0:02:55.700 Today is the 21st of march of the year 2013 0:02:56.244,0:03:00.240 We are in the mutation of the so called full moon 0:03:01.067,0:03:03.749 in the New Hamlet, Plum Village 0:03:07.484,0:03:11.969 We just listened to the chant of 0:03:13.856,0:03:17.316 the sutra "The heart of the Prajnaparamita" 0:03:22.111,0:03:25.730 it is about the perfect understanding 0:03:26.155,0:03:28.738 What is the " perfect understanding"? 0:03:30.710,0:03:33.254 The word in sanskrit is prajna 0:03:33.962,0:03:36.180 prajnaparamita 0:03:36.637,0:03:40.748 that is a sort of understanding, a deep vision, 0:03:41.557,0:03:43.752 a kind of wisdom 0:03:45.321,0:03:47.824 that can bring us 0:03:48.792,0:03:52.807 to the other side, the side of no fear 0:03:54.285,0:03:59.801 of no anger, of no despair, of liberation (release)freedom 0:04:00.151,0:04:02.195 the Other Side 0:04:06.582,0:04:09.513 We talk about the deep vision 0:04:10.262,0:04:12.595 this deep vision 0:04:13.527,0:04:16.447 is obtained by the deep insight 0:04:17.597,0:04:22.639 When we live within mindfulness, we are really here and now 0:04:23.658,0:04:27.476 And if we look deeply, we will be able to touch 0:04:28.158,0:04:31.530 the real nature of what is here 0:04:32.146,0:04:37.426 our body, our mind, the world, a cloud, a pebble 0:04:38.858,0:04:42.111 so everything can be the subject 0:04:42.981,0:04:46.114 everything can be the object of our meditation 0:04:46.314,0:04:49.981 If you look deeply in the nature of a pebble 0:04:50.627,0:04:54.583 then you can touch its own nature 0:04:56.524,0:04:58.365 and you can touch, 0:04:59.254,0:05:03.310 and you can have this Perfect Understanding 0:05:03.804,0:05:05.870 this deep vision. 0:05:06.288,0:05:08.193 There are three sorts of energy 0:05:08.859,0:05:14.044 that can give us this deep vision 0:05:14.584,0:05:18.549 the first one is the mindfulness, smriti 0:05:19.973,0:05:23.001 is the energy that allow us to be there 0:05:23.671,0:05:25.457 here and now 0:05:26.228,0:05:28.979 this energy which unable us 0:05:32.346,0:05:36.761 to bring back the body toward the mind, the mind toward the body 0:05:37.305,0:05:40.366 in order that we can really be here. 0:05:41.388,0:05:44.055 This is the energy that unable us 0:05:45.041,0:05:47.582 to be aware of the fact, of all that 0:05:47.840,0:05:51.103 occurs in the present 0:05:51.253,0:05:54.186 in our body, in our thoughts 0:05:55.460,0:05:57.575 in our sensations, etc.... 0:05:57.741,0:05:59.815 It is the energy of mindfulness 0:05:59.965,0:06:02.556 As practitioner, we know that 0:06:02.905,0:06:07.532 practice is to generate that energy of mindfulness 0:06:08.421,0:06:13.488 If you live with mindfulness, you live deeply every moment of life. 0:06:15.078,0:06:17.147 We do not waste our daily life. 0:06:18.284,0:06:23.084 We live in depth, we touch the wonders of life in depth 0:06:23.585,0:06:26.079 to feed oneself, to heal oneself 0:06:26.770,0:06:30.031 So when we walk, we eat or when we work 0:06:30.516,0:06:34.316 We are inhabited by the energy of mindfulness 0:06:34.547,0:06:38.066 The good practitioner 0:06:38.635,0:06:41.116 is the one who can 0:06:46.927,0:06:49.844 generate that energy of full consciousness 0:06:51.775,0:06:55.602 The second energy is the energy of concentration. 0:06:56.597,0:06:58.320 Samadhi. 0:07:00.169,0:07:05.741 When to take your attention to something 0:07:06.345,0:07:08.974 as your breath or a flower, 0:07:09.480,0:07:13.015 you have the energy of mindfulness 0:07:13.409,0:07:16.698 If that full awareness is maintained, 0:07:17.792,0:07:21.128 that gives rise to the concentration. 0:07:21.695,0:07:23.875 You're focused on that. 0:07:24.536,0:07:29.698 the breath, a flower, your body, on anything 0:07:30.270,0:07:33.162 which is the subject of your mindfulness. 0:07:33.915,0:07:35.820 When you walk 0:07:36.299,0:07:39.118 mindfulness is your steps. 0:07:39.832,0:07:45.748 When you breathe, the object of your meditation is breathing. 0:07:47.652,0:07:50.780 When you drink tea in mindfulness, 0:07:51.291,0:07:53.691 the object of your meditation is the tea. 0:07:54.114,0:07:58.030 Mindfulness is always very conscious of something. 0:08:05.608,0:08:08.246 With a good concentration, 0:08:09.215,0:08:11.546 a strong concentration, 0:08:11.941,0:08:14.499 We can drill 0:08:16.410,0:08:19.167 the object of our meditation. 0:08:19.765,0:08:23.453 Be a pebble, a cloud, or a flower, 0:08:23.926,0:08:26.534 We make a breakthrough 0:08:27.093,0:08:30.433 its true nature, 0:08:30.916,0:08:36.290 called nature of thusness or the interbeing 0:08:37.417,0:08:41.203 That understanding, that profound vision, 0:08:41.510,0:08:43.946 can free us. 0:08:48.914,0:08:52.031 The Mindfulness, first energy, 0:08:54.170,0:08:56.437 2 second energy 0:08:57.125,0:09:00.925 the third is the deep vision.[br]It is also an energy. 0:09:01.633,0:09:04.300 That energy, that profound vision, 0:09:08.919,0:09:10.941 is there, 0:09:13.231,0:09:15.711 as a result of our practice. 0:09:16.188,0:09:18.626 Because our full awareness 0:09:20.580,0:09:22.172 is strong, 0:09:22.632,0:09:25.499 and our focus is great enough. 0:09:26.683,0:09:28.440 With full mindfulness 0:09:29.831,0:09:32.707 and concentration we can make a breakthrough 0:09:33.810,0:09:36.262 the nature of things. 0:09:36.988,0:09:40.944 And to acquire that knowledge, that wisdom, 0:09:41.456,0:09:44.602 This profound vision, that correct vision, 0:09:45.254,0:09:47.036 We are liberated 0:09:47.262,0:09:51.156 In Buddhism is salvation through knowledge, 0:09:51.306,0:09:53.442 not by grace. 0:09:54.521,0:09:57.342 That knowledge is the profound vision, 0:09:59.861,0:10:02.260 perfect understanding. 0:10:02.614,0:10:04.916 It can be interpreted very well 0:10:05.507,0:10:07.370 that deep vision 0:10:08.144,0:10:11.654 as a grace, it is a kind of grace. 0:10:13.872,0:10:16.276 It is the greatest grace. 0:10:24.576,0:10:26.808 There is the shore of suffering 0:10:27.612,0:10:30.202 and the shore 0:10:32.324,0:10:34.124 of liberation 0:10:35.014,0:10:39.341 We are standing, sitting, on this shore of suffering, 0:10:40.272,0:10:43.410 illusion, of fear, of suffering. 0:10:44.850,0:10:47.850 What can be done to leave that shore 0:10:48.151,0:10:49.779 to be able 0:10:50.486,0:10:52.353 to get to the other side? 0:10:52.871,0:10:54.902 It is the perfect understanding. 0:10:55.280,0:10:59.002 Deep vision to acquire for meditation. 0:10:59.946,0:11:01.534 And that is done 0:11:03.019,0:11:05.565 every day with practice. 0:11:15.389,0:11:18.256 five trainings to mindfulness 0:11:18.837,0:11:21.402 they are instruments, utensils, 0:11:21.918,0:11:24.216 very precious, very important 0:11:26.439,0:11:32.242 that I can use to acquire 0:11:32.914,0:11:34.976 that perfect understanding. 0:11:37.891,0:11:41.235 Because those five trainings to full consciousness 0:11:41.385,0:11:44.128 they are based on deep insight. 0:11:46.616,0:11:49.096 It is a global ethic 0:11:50.436,0:11:52.137 based 0:11:54.616,0:11:58.817 not a belief, but a profound vision. 0:11:59.434,0:12:01.786 The vision of the inter being 0:12:04.970,0:12:10.021 We have already learned the four noble truths of Buddhism. 0:12:11.905,0:12:14.366 It is time to look, 0:12:14.905,0:12:18.050 to consider these four truths 0:12:18.465,0:12:21.723 in the light of the inter being 0:12:23.093,0:12:26.160 We know that the first truth is the existence 0:12:27.119,0:12:28.876 of suffering. 0:12:30.067,0:12:32.411 Buddhism is very practical. 0:12:33.076,0:12:38.420 Non-philosophical, metaphysical, speculation about being, 0:12:38.959,0:12:40.780 but methods 0:12:41.181,0:12:43.906 appropriate, concrete, for power 0:12:45.974,0:12:49.056 transform suffering into something else. 0:13:10.174,0:13:13.041 If you think that there is suffering in the world, 0:13:14.599,0:13:16.964 You agree with Buddha. 0:13:18.104,0:13:19.819 There is suffering, 0:13:20.448,0:13:22.402 and you can do something 0:13:25.353,0:13:26.891 to transform it. 0:13:27.259,0:13:30.227 So the first truth 0:13:32.028,0:13:35.386 It is to accept that there is suffering in the world. 0:13:36.140,0:13:37.998 The first truth is 0:13:38.957,0:13:43.131 the presence of ill-being, 0:13:53.132,0:13:55.175 There is ill-being in the body, 0:13:56.101,0:13:57.893 in the sensations, 0:13:58.221,0:13:59.910 in the perceptions, 0:14:00.510,0:14:06.400 in mental states and our conscious knowledge. 0:14:06.883,0:14:10.883 There is a collective consciousness and individual consciousness. 0:14:12.048,0:14:17.227 Collective consciousness is made by individual consciousnesses. 0:14:18.226,0:14:22.759 And individual consciousness is made by the collective consciousness. 0:14:23.084,0:14:24.951 It is how left and right. 0:14:25.950,0:14:31.191 We have been in our consciousness the collective consciousness of our society. 0:14:32.171,0:14:34.099 We have been in our 0:14:36.320,0:14:40.143 suffering also the suffering of our society. 0:14:40.879,0:14:42.862 The collective suffering. 0:14:43.558,0:14:46.272 If we can transform the inside suffering, 0:14:46.422,0:14:50.235 We help the world, society, at the same time. 0:14:51.662,0:14:53.811 What you can do for you, 0:14:54.057,0:14:56.364 you do it for us. 0:14:58.050,0:14:59.914 If you can breathe 0:15:02.277,0:15:06.241 and you feel better, you do it not only for you, 0:15:06.981,0:15:08.714 but for us also. 0:15:16.348,0:15:18.313 The teaching of Buddha 0:15:18.982,0:15:21.012 It's pretty simple. 0:15:22.231,0:15:24.417 But the sages 0:15:25.143,0:15:28.772 they have transformed it into something very complicated, difficult. 0:15:29.569,0:15:32.771 Here, in Plum Village, we try to simplify 0:15:33.273,0:15:37.124 but we always keep the depth of the teaching. 0:15:37.631,0:15:40.159 Simple but profound. 0:15:41.198,0:15:43.554 So there is ill-being 0:15:44.619,0:15:47.242 And when we look in the ill-being 0:15:48.100,0:15:50.874 with full awareness, with concentration, 0:15:51.351,0:15:55.685 We will discover the second noble truth: 0:15:57.642,0:16:00.049 the roots of ill-being 0:16:00.514,0:16:03.018 The causes of ill-being 0:16:03.483,0:16:05.574 The foundations of ill-being 0:16:05.799,0:16:07.796 We have lived in such a way 0:16:07.947,0:16:11.125 that ill-being has become real. 0:16:11.623,0:16:15.593 We look to see how ill-being has been installed. 0:16:17.747,0:16:19.525 It is meditation. 0:16:19.816,0:16:21.955 We look into the unrest 0:16:22.217,0:16:24.212 and we see the causes, 0:16:24.487,0:16:26.671 the elements 0:16:28.192,0:16:30.282 that you have gathered 0:16:31.941,0:16:36.122 to establish that ill-being 0:16:40.798,0:16:42.789 So the second 0:16:44.615,0:16:46.982 the second noble truth 0:16:50.479,0:16:53.356 It is the basis of the ill-being 0:16:53.894,0:16:55.811 Either, the way 0:16:56.488,0:16:59.040 that leads to ill-being 0:17:00.450,0:17:03.185 This kind of life, this way of living, 0:17:04.055,0:17:06.852 that leads to ill-being 0:17:09.181,0:17:12.618 Thus, the second noble truth can be described 0:17:14.190,0:17:16.003 as a road. 0:17:16.511,0:17:19.447 But instead of leading us to happiness, 0:17:20.077,0:17:22.958 freedom, leads to ill-being 0:17:32.915,0:17:35.190 The path that leads 0:17:38.192,0:17:40.783 that it leads to ill-being 0:17:51.200,0:17:54.259 Buddha said it in a very simple way: 0:17:54.615,0:17:56.765 "What you have just installed" 0:17:57.649,0:18:01.032 i.e. your ill-being, your pain, the suffering, 0:18:01.371,0:18:03.453 the suffering has been installed, 0:18:03.830,0:18:06.041 as a depression, 0:18:06.819,0:18:09.583 desperation, ill-being 0:18:10.753,0:18:13.505 It is what you have just installed. 0:18:14.102,0:18:16.210 You just installed 0:18:16.684,0:18:18.777 If you can look at 0:18:19.519,0:18:23.043 in depth in its true nature, 0:18:24.086,0:18:27.636 and if you can identify the roots, 0:18:30.221,0:18:34.918 food sources that you've used to feed him, 0:18:35.704,0:18:40.142 you're already on the path of liberation. 0:18:41.424,0:18:44.151 So look into ill-being 0:18:45.135,0:18:47.432 to see how we have lived, 0:18:47.796,0:18:51.263 how we have acted, how we discussed, 0:18:52.091,0:18:54.035 how we thought, 0:18:54.792,0:18:56.524 so that ill-being 0:18:57.060,0:18:58.803 is there. 0:18:59.290,0:19:01.220 That is the root. 0:19:01.551,0:19:03.887 The second truth 0:19:04.223,0:19:06.007 is the root 0:19:06.663,0:19:08.727 of the ill-being. 0:19:09.448,0:19:11.758 The venerable Shariputra, 0:19:12.249,0:19:16.218 one of the more intelligent disciples of Buddha, 0:19:16.633,0:19:18.629 Shariputra, 0:19:19.562,0:19:21.513 described the 0:19:25.429,0:19:27.196 the cause of the ill-being, 0:19:27.887,0:19:30.153 insofar as food. 0:19:31.272,0:19:33.433 In terms of nutrition. 0:19:35.837,0:19:37.745 Food 0:19:45.756,0:19:47.472 It brings 0:19:47.635,0:19:49.279 ill-being 0:19:56.464,0:19:58.517 Because Buddha said many times 0:19:59.547,0:20:02.567 nothing can survive without food. 0:20:03.212,0:20:05.122 He repeated it many times. 0:20:05.272,0:20:07.034 Nothing can 0:20:07.243,0:20:09.022 survive without food. 0:20:09.330,0:20:10.935 Not your love. 0:20:11.374,0:20:15.828 If you don't feed your love, it will die 0:20:16.450,0:20:19.602 If you don't know how to feed your love, 0:20:19.986,0:20:22.272 It will die. 0:20:22.885,0:20:25.780 You have to know how to feed your love. 0:20:26.466,0:20:28.860 It is an art, it is a practice. 0:20:30.387,0:20:33.300 Your depression is the same. 0:20:33.989,0:20:37.922 If your depression still exists, it is because you are still feeding them. 0:20:40.380,0:20:42.622 Your anger, your despair also. 0:20:43.957,0:20:50.413 If it is still there, it is because you feed it every day. 0:20:50.872,0:20:54.422 You have to look at, identify this kind of food 0:20:55.528,0:20:57.504 (e) interrupt it. 0:20:58.012,0:20:59.745 Cut it. 0:21:00.748,0:21:05.623 If short discomfort food source, 0:21:05.984,0:21:08.031 the discomfort will die. 0:21:09.352,0:21:12.152 Your depression, your desperation, will die. 0:21:13.306,0:21:17.719 The monk, the venerable Shariputra 0:21:18.611,0:21:20.313 has helped us a lot 0:21:20.971,0:21:24.370 describing the second truth in terms of food. 0:21:24.520,0:21:27.304 Buddha spoke of four types of food. 0:21:28.321,0:21:30.465 Edible food, 0:21:31.805,0:21:33.584 prints 0:21:35.232,0:21:39.968 sensory, what we see, we hear, 0:21:44.852,0:21:48.357 What we feel, we think, is food. 0:21:52.015,0:21:54.242 Our ideas, thoughts, 0:21:55.286,0:21:57.531 they can be 0:21:59.378,0:22:01.173 harmful, 0:22:04.859,0:22:06.690 poisoned. 0:22:07.341,0:22:09.396 They are a type of food. 0:22:11.139,0:22:12.860 We eat 0:22:13.575,0:22:18.176 with the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, 0:22:20.048,0:22:22.747 with the body and thoughts. 0:22:24.117,0:22:26.131 We have to be very attentive. 0:22:26.538,0:22:28.357 We should not feed us 0:22:29.081,0:22:32.456 poisonous things. 0:22:33.886,0:22:35.688 What you see 0:22:37.516,0:22:39.286 on the television. 0:22:39.835,0:22:41.717 What you read 0:22:43.180,0:22:44.875 in the magazines. 0:22:45.701,0:22:48.476 The conversations you hear 0:22:48.786,0:22:50.336 can 0:22:53.635,0:22:56.714 contain in themselves 0:22:57.174,0:22:59.877 toxins, poison. 0:23:00.434,0:23:02.456 Then, we consume it. 0:23:05.283,0:23:07.088 If we have a depression, 0:23:07.637,0:23:10.259 It is because we have consumed way such 0:23:10.545,0:23:14.557 that depression has become real. 0:23:15.263,0:23:18.705 So we have to identify the sources of food. 0:23:18.855,0:23:21.824 You have to be very attentive when you see TV, 0:23:21.974,0:23:24.673 When you read press articles, 0:23:25.057,0:23:28.457 When listening to a conversation, because those things 0:23:28.805,0:23:31.009 You can enclose much venom. 0:23:32.798,0:23:35.279 You should preserve you, 0:23:35.908,0:23:40.655 protect yourself. Five workouts, especially the fifth, 0:23:41.451,0:23:44.040 as a discipline, a practice, 0:23:44.457,0:23:48.457 to protect ourselves, to protect our children and society. 0:23:48.856,0:23:51.137 It is the engaged Buddhism. 0:24:12.457,0:24:14.322 Buddha said this: 0:24:15.172,0:24:18.546 nothing can survive without food. 0:24:20.315,0:24:24.182 What you have just installed, if you can look in depth 0:24:25.920,0:24:27.650 in that thing 0:24:28.521,0:24:33.036 e identify the food source that has brought it with you, 0:24:33.559,0:24:37.836 you're already on the path of transformation and healing. 0:24:38.910,0:24:41.842 The second truth brings already 0:24:42.874,0:24:45.612 the release. 0:24:49.086,0:24:51.373 It is a profound vision. 0:24:51.901,0:24:54.981 The deep vision of the second truth, 0:24:55.435,0:24:57.375 the cause of the discomfort. 0:25:00.219,0:25:02.137 Then, the third truth 0:25:03.442,0:25:07.063 It is a cheerful music of the practice note. 0:25:07.676,0:25:11.275 That is, the transformation is possible. 0:25:11.823,0:25:13.585 Healing is possible. 0:25:17.909,0:25:19.949 Peace is possible. 0:25:25.384,0:25:29.324 The expression has been used 0:25:30.136,0:25:33.258 "the end of unrest". 0:25:44.788,0:25:47.888 The end of unrest. What does mean? 0:25:48.645,0:25:51.499 It means the beginning of welfare. 0:25:52.676,0:25:54.414 It is the same. 0:25:55.355,0:25:59.284 When we say "absence of darkness", what do we say? 0:25:59.434,0:26:01.428 The presence of light. 0:26:02.078,0:26:06.841 We must read the sutras in this way. 0:26:07.878,0:26:12.408 The absence of discomfort, i.e. the presence of welfare. 0:26:13.042,0:26:17.263 Joy, happiness, is possible. 0:26:18.295,0:26:20.326 It is the third truth. 0:26:20.624,0:26:25.460 It is a positive, happy, note in the music of the practice. 0:26:26.604,0:26:28.608 And how? 0:26:31.959,0:26:35.554 Getting to the end of unrest? 0:26:35.919,0:26:37.577 There is a way 0:26:38.974,0:26:43.162 carrying, which leads 0:26:43.941,0:26:45.724 to the well-being. 0:26:47.013,0:26:49.177 That destroys the discomfort. 0:26:50.037,0:26:51.848 The road 0:26:54.279,0:26:55.925 carrying 0:27:00.330,0:27:02.387 to the well-being. 0:27:06.949,0:27:08.595 I.e., 0:27:08.964,0:27:11.354 the destruction of the discomfort. 0:27:18.397,0:27:20.177 To the EESC 0:27:31.814,0:27:33.550 the unrest. 0:27:37.938,0:27:39.438 In fact, 0:27:40.212,0:27:41.942 the third truth 0:27:44.007,0:27:46.376 called "ceasefire". 0:27:46.876,0:27:48.938 The truth of cessation. 0:27:50.024,0:27:51.798 Nirodha. 0:27:52.253,0:27:54.315 What ceasefire? 0:27:54.824,0:27:56.447 Cessation 0:27:58.230,0:28:00.172 the unrest. 0:28:11.042,0:28:13.304 It is said that this is nirvana. 0:28:14.388,0:28:16.038 Nirvana. 0:28:33.267,0:28:35.520 Nirvana is the absence 0:28:40.589,0:28:42.250 fever. 0:28:43.156,0:28:44.665 The absence 0:28:47.722,0:28:50.421 the flames that burn us. 0:28:50.867,0:28:53.629 The fires of affliction. 0:28:53.951,0:28:55.600 There is fear, 0:28:57.627,0:28:59.551 desire, 0:29:00.078,0:29:02.342 There is despair, 0:29:02.837,0:29:05.334 the ira, are burning. 0:29:06.045,0:29:09.040 The fire that burned us in everyday life. 0:29:11.258,0:29:14.912 Nirvana is the extinction of the flames. 0:29:15.967,0:29:18.183 The extinction of the flames. 0:29:19.049,0:29:23.396 The extinction of the flames means the presence of freshness. 0:29:24.259,0:29:27.216 You can say that nirvana is the freshness. 0:29:27.835,0:29:29.755 It is springtime. 0:29:32.217,0:29:35.514 But where can we find the spring, 0:29:36.189,0:29:38.287 the happiness, nirvana? 0:29:38.750,0:29:41.312 Buddha said: here and now. 0:29:42.647,0:29:46.849 It is always available instantly if you know how. 0:29:47.685,0:29:49.512 The other Bank. 0:29:50.183,0:29:55.254 Perhaps if you know inspiration once in full consciousness, 0:29:55.789,0:29:57.447 If you can 0:30:01.712,0:30:03.271 release, 0:30:05.647,0:30:07.681 simply you 0:30:10.330,0:30:12.488 to reach the other shore. 0:30:12.975,0:30:14.764 A practice 0:30:15.529,0:30:20.129 as simple as inspiration can take you instantly to the other shore. 0:30:20.542,0:30:24.281 There are fresh, no fear, no anger, instantly, 0:30:24.981,0:30:29.683 Thanks to the perfect understanding. 0:30:34.214,0:30:38.224 Suppose that you feel anger towards that person. 0:30:41.671,0:30:45.138 Do you think that that person is the cause of your disgrace. 0:30:45.704,0:30:47.748 You are overwhelmed, 0:30:51.036,0:30:53.215 are trapped by this idea, 0:30:53.756,0:30:56.469 by that perception. 0:30:57.354,0:31:00.954 You want to do something to make the other person suffer 0:31:02.192,0:31:04.283 to make you feel better. 0:31:05.312,0:31:08.734 If she suffers, I will feel better. 0:31:10.357,0:31:12.320 It's crazy, 0:31:12.854,0:31:15.521 but many think so and act as well. 0:31:17.010,0:31:19.159 If we look, we see 0:31:20.189,0:31:22.842 He said something, he has done something, 0:31:24.258,0:31:27.191 why he said it?, why you did it? 0:31:27.655,0:31:30.322 It is because there is so much suffering in it. 0:31:31.057,0:31:35.621 It is a person incapable of managing their suffering. 0:31:37.049,0:31:39.955 It is a victim of his own suffering 0:31:40.345,0:31:42.542 and it causes suffering to others. 0:31:42.692,0:31:46.359 This profound vision instantly dissolves anger. 0:31:47.117,0:31:50.404 And it motivates you the desire to help that person 0:31:50.991,0:31:53.135 to suffer less. 0:31:53.643,0:31:57.157 It may take some seconds 0:31:57.530,0:31:59.799 having that vision. 0:32:00.195,0:32:03.770 You can do it. We can all do it. 0:32:04.450,0:32:06.463 Look deep. 0:32:07.048,0:32:10.575 If you can recognize, identify that person suffering, 0:32:10.725,0:32:14.272 and see that he is a victim of his own suffering, 0:32:14.870,0:32:17.342 the anger in you will disappear. 0:32:18.056,0:32:22.746 You're in nirvana. You've nirvanizado instantly. 0:32:26.412,0:32:28.704 So nirvana is not a place, 0:32:31.013,0:32:33.079 is not a local, 0:32:33.876,0:32:36.110 nirvana is the release 0:32:36.600,0:32:40.949 and it is possible to reach it at every moment of our everyday life. 0:32:41.444,0:32:46.889 With what? With practice, to achieve that deep vision. 0:32:49.684,0:32:54.683 If we fear death it is because we have not had this profound vision. 0:32:55.707,0:32:57.955 When you look at things, 0:32:58.481,0:33:03.261 We see that their nature is the of no birth, no death. 0:33:04.996,0:33:06.703 You know that 0:33:26.688,0:33:28.466 It is said: nothing... 0:33:29.750,0:33:31.273 Lavoisier, 0:33:31.590,0:33:35.123 Lavoisier is the father of modern chemistry, right? 0:33:35.521,0:33:37.529 It is a French, non? 0:33:38.509,0:33:40.920 Lavoisier said: nothing is lost, 0:33:42.178,0:33:44.275 nothing is created, nothing is lost. 0:33:44.749,0:33:47.536 He said exactly what he says the sutra 0:33:48.856,0:33:51.749 perfect understanding. 0:33:53.175,0:33:55.792 There is birth, there is death. 0:33:57.816,0:33:59.745 And we all know 0:34:00.185,0:34:03.037 According to the first law 0:34:04.182,0:34:06.119 of thermodynamics 0:34:06.976,0:34:08.824 It can not be, 0:34:09.656,0:34:11.824 cannot create matter. 0:34:12.353,0:34:15.554 The matter can not be destroyed. 0:34:16.560,0:34:18.994 Energy can not be created. 0:34:19.586,0:34:21.775 Energy cannot be destroyed. 0:34:22.573,0:34:25.373 Everything is transformed: subject matter, 0:34:25.617,0:34:30.150 matter into energy, energy in energy, energy in matter. 0:34:31.248,0:34:32.849 But we can't 0:34:33.268,0:34:36.515 create or destroy matter or energy. 0:34:38.977,0:34:41.644 The law of conservation of energy. 0:34:43.314,0:34:46.741 So science has already touched that. 0:34:47.977,0:34:50.854 The nature of no birth, no death. 0:34:51.605,0:34:54.980 And if scientists can apply that 0:34:55.672,0:34:58.405 in daily life, they will have no more fear, 0:34:59.352,0:35:02.456 they will not more suffering. 0:35:07.022,0:35:09.244 From the point of view of the form 0:35:09.394,0:35:12.265 There are four truths. 0:35:13.656,0:35:15.785 The first is not the second, 0:35:16.533,0:35:20.578 the second is not the third, the third is not the fourth. 0:35:21.352,0:35:24.909 But in the light of the interser 0:35:25.339,0:35:27.276 We see it otherwise. 0:35:28.073,0:35:32.371 That is why, in the sutra of perfect understanding 0:35:32.714,0:35:35.100 It is said: there is no suffering. 0:35:40.195,0:35:43.891 There is no cessation of suffering. 0:35:44.257,0:35:49.217 There is no way. Suffering, nor road, nor cause, or road. Why? 0:35:50.018,0:35:53.602 Because to look at in the light of the interser, 0:35:54.023,0:35:56.275 We see that all inter - is. 0:35:58.134,0:36:01.181 For example, the third truth, 0:36:01.633,0:36:05.929 It is the cessation of the discomfort, which is happiness. 0:36:11.599,0:36:14.906 It is closely related to the first, 0:36:16.014,0:36:18.056 the suffering. 0:36:25.204,0:36:27.204 When we look at happiness 0:36:29.087,0:36:33.354 with the power of full consciousness, concentration, 0:36:33.945,0:36:36.284 We will discover that happiness 0:36:36.643,0:36:41.752 It is made with elements not happiness. 0:36:44.342,0:36:46.519 Happiness is a thing, 0:36:47.163,0:36:50.180 just like a flower. 0:36:53.400,0:36:55.412 When we looked at the flower 0:36:57.069,0:37:00.026 with full awareness and concentration, 0:37:00.486,0:37:02.886 We will discover that the flower is made 0:37:03.311,0:37:05.756 only of elements not flower. 0:37:07.693,0:37:11.477 The Sun, the rain, the Earth, 0:37:12.438,0:37:18.741 time, the gardener, things like, a multitude of causes calls not flower. 0:37:19.351,0:37:21.401 And those elements not flower 0:37:22.045,0:37:25.711 gather to help that state flower 0:37:26.387,0:37:28.622 as a wonder of life. 0:37:29.292,0:37:31.031 Now, 0:37:31.708,0:37:33.438 If forward 0:37:34.770,0:37:36.270 light 0:37:36.643,0:37:38.244 the Sun, 0:37:39.103,0:37:40.745 rain-cloud, 0:37:41.309,0:37:43.974 nothing left, the flower is no longer exists. 0:37:44.527,0:37:47.543 So flower is made only 0:37:48.208,0:37:50.201 elements do not flower. 0:37:51.587,0:37:55.956 The flower is empty of a separate existence. 0:37:57.132,0:37:59.288 The flower is full 0:38:00.206,0:38:01.960 Cosmos. 0:38:02.344,0:38:05.744 All cosmos is in flower, the flower is full. 0:38:05.907,0:38:10.434 But in a separate existence, a separate self, 0:38:11.149,0:38:12.649 She doesn't have it. 0:38:15.389,0:38:20.332 If we look in depth, we see that the flower has no 0:38:21.008,0:38:24.346 a separate self, a separate existence. 0:38:25.092,0:38:30.290 It is said: the flower may not by itself. 0:38:31.714,0:38:35.482 The flower must be interser yet. 0:38:38.244,0:38:40.889 Being interser. 0:38:41.707,0:38:43.526 But unfortunately 0:38:43.906,0:38:46.716 the word is not yet in the dictionary. 0:38:49.454,0:38:53.011 Interser is possible.[br]Be not possible. 0:38:54.291,0:38:56.975 You can't be yourself. 0:38:58.345,0:39:00.966 If you're not there, I couldn't be here 0:39:03.052,0:39:04.781 at the same time. 0:39:14.108,0:39:17.345 So in the light of the interser, happiness 0:39:19.467,0:39:21.166 It is a type of flower. 0:39:21.366,0:39:23.311 When you look at happiness 0:39:23.595,0:39:27.250 you see elements not happiness who have gathered 0:39:28.379,0:39:31.256 to give birth to happiness. 0:39:31.941,0:39:33.941 Those elements not happiness 0:39:34.417,0:39:36.395 It is the element of suffering. 0:39:52.180,0:39:54.607 When hungry, 0:39:56.606,0:39:58.836 you want something to eat. 0:40:01.834,0:40:03.729 If you have joy 0:40:06.644,0:40:09.404 to eat, it is because there is hunger. 0:40:09.834,0:40:12.415 If you are not hungry, there is no joy 0:40:13.300,0:40:14.877 when eating. 0:40:16.356,0:40:18.636 If you've experienced a war, 0:40:19.498,0:40:22.118 You can appreciate the peace. 0:40:25.008,0:40:27.026 The suffering 0:40:27.863,0:40:31.323 serves as a background 0:40:32.125,0:40:35.268 so that we can identify the happiness. 0:40:35.803,0:40:38.603 Most of the time you have happiness 0:40:40.827,0:40:43.250 but you do not identify it. 0:40:46.169,0:40:48.411 Happiness is always there. 0:40:48.964,0:40:51.668 But as we are not aware 0:40:51.967,0:40:54.387 We believe that happiness is not there. 0:40:54.537,0:40:57.564 With the very conscious we are really there 0:40:57.714,0:40:59.357 and we can identify 0:40:59.507,0:41:01.896 the conditions for happiness that are present. 0:41:02.046,0:41:03.464 And happiness is there. 0:41:03.614,0:41:07.170 Nirvana is

happiness that are here and now. 0:41:33.064,0:41:36.116 We must not run forward 0:41:36.804,0:41:40.885 to find conditions of happiness. 0:41:41.366,0:41:44.804 We have more than enough already here. 0:41:45.103,0:41:47.304 We hope to be happy. 0:41:47.535,0:41:50.351 It is a French song. 0:41:57.676,0:41:59.609 Happiness and suffering 0:42:01.394,0:42:03.200 interson. 0:42:03.955,0:42:07.531 You

conditions of happiness. 0:43:37.435,0:43:39.584 Happiness is possible. 0:43:40.065,0:43:43.132 You must not go to find nirvana in another site. 0:43:45.411,0:43:48.108 In Plum Village, we like to say 0:43:48.821,0:43:52.794 nirvana is now or never. 0:43:54.060,0:43:56.316 As the Kingdom of God. 0:43:56.659,0:43:59.316 The Kingdom of God is now or never. 0:44:00.376,0:44:02.999 The energy that helps us to identify, 0:44:03.767,0:44:05.693 to recognize the Kingdom of God, 0:44:05.843,0:44:07.443 It is full consciousness. 0:44:07.668,0:44:11.586 And everyone can have full consciousness. 0:44:12.345,0:44:14.767 An inspiration, an exhalation, 0:44:16.188,0:44:18.121 a step in full consciousness, 0:44:21.226,0:44:23.709 that creates, you can create, 0:44:25.193,0:44:26.825 power of full consciousness 0:44:26.975,0:44:29.541 with which we can identify 0:44:30.044,0:44:34.038 the conditions for happiness available. 0:45:01.570,0:45:03.370 I would ask you to observe this: 0:45:04.568,0:45:06.214 There is no way 0:45:09.398,0:45:11.065 to carry happiness. 0:45:12.066,0:45:14.266 I'm going to deny the fourth truth. 0:45:20.258,0:45:22.031 In the light of the interser, 0:45:24.073,0:45:26.966 each truth cannot be denied. 0:45:28.577,0:45:32.299 As in the sutra Sung this morning. 0:45:33.032,0:45:37.701 There is no discomfort, there is no road that leads to discomfort, 0:45:37.932,0:45:43.165 There is no cessation of discomfort, there is no road that leads to the cessation of the discomfort. 0:45:45.064,0:45:46.711 There is no way 0:45:47.298,0:45:49.868

1:01:36.294,1:01:38.927 Generally, it is said to be born 1:01:41.294,1:01:47.827 It is from not being to be, right? 1:01:48.727,1:01:51.027 Because I did not exist 1:01:51.927,1:01:53.794 before the point N. 1:01:54.527,1:01:56.994 For this reason, the segment 1:02:05.227,1:02:07.127 ending in N 1:02:08.561,1:02:11.594 the segment is called not to be. 1:02:14.094,1:02:16.861 Before he was born, I didn't exist. 1:02:18.294,1:02:20.727 He belonged to the non-being. 1:02:21.627,1:02:23.360 And from that moment, 1:02:24.127,1:02:25.894 I belong 1:02:28.694,1:02:30.194 to be. 1:02:33.727,1:02:36.727 It is our way of seeing things, think. 1:02:37.594,1:02:41.720 Buddha said that think this is not right-thinking. 1:02:43.461,1:02:46.727 Because it is not a correct view. 1:02:48.694,1:02:50.961 Most of us think 1:02:52.027,1:02:53.527 to be born 1:02:54.227,1:02:56.327 It is not to be, to become. 1:02:58.417,1:03:01.927 Anyone we get someone. 1:03:02.927,1:03:06.472 Before ask someone we weren't nobody. 1:03:06.927,1:03:10.194 If not we will be. It is the way of thinking. 1:03:11.527,1:03:16.132 If the birth is there, else should be there at the same time. 1:03:17.394,1:03:18.894 It is death. 1:03:20.294,1:03:22.227 And we set the day of the death 1:03:24.227,1:03:26.461 one hundred years after more or less. 1:03:28.461,1:03:29.961 M. 1:03:32.561,1:03:34.161 The segment 1:03:35.161,1:03:36.661 NM 1:03:38.169,1:03:39.994 life is called. 1:03:42.163,1:03:43.663 A life. 1:03:54.061,1:03:55.561 When ando, 1:03:56.227,1:03:57.794 Road 1:03:58.561,1:04:00.296 on the segment NM, 1:04:00.561,1:04:02.061 I'm afraid. 1:04:02.318,1:04:03.965 Because I think 1:04:05.294,1:04:06.794 I owe 1:04:08.194,1:04:11.027 at some point reach M. 1:04:12.961,1:04:17.127 And I prepare to go from being not to be. 1:04:29.361,1:04:31.794 There are pairs of opposites 1:04:33.340,1:04:36.994 in terms of mental categories we have. 1:04:38.127,1:04:40.427 There are many pairs of opposites. 1:04:42.561,1:04:46.327 The first is to be and not be. 1:04:50.361,1:04:53.361 As there is being, there is not to be. 1:04:56.194,1:05:01.861 If you confirm being, you must confirm the non-being. 1:05:04.994,1:05:07.294 There are theologians who think 1:05:08.494,1:05:12.231 in terms of being and not God. 1:05:14.894,1:05:20.730 They say that God is the basis of be, the Foundation of being. 1:05:26.661,1:05:28.627 If it is so, 1:05:31.261,1:05:33.994 who will play the role 1:05:34.494,1:05:36.261 from Foundation of the non-being? 1:05:37.327,1:05:39.994 If God is the basis of being, 1:05:40.361,1:05:42.961 who will be the basis of not being? Satan? 1:05:46.027,1:05:48.827 So there a God's enemy. 1:05:49.694,1:05:51.194 God is 1:05:53.227,1:05:57.561 in the field of self and Satan is in the field not to be. 1:05:57.794,1:05:59.294 There is a battle. 1:06:08.361,1:06:09.861 Being and not being 1:06:10.527,1:06:13.461 According to Buddha, they are nothing more than ideas. 1:06:14.561,1:06:17.794 They are nothing more than concepts, notions, 1:06:18.461,1:06:21.827 that it does not apply to reality. 1:06:29.317,1:06:31.061 As we are caught 1:06:31.994,1:06:35.761 in this pair of opposites, 1:06:36.127,1:06:37.927 We're also stuck with 1:06:38.394,1:06:40.096 by another pair of opposites, 1:06:41.927,1:06:44.461 the notion of birth and death. 1:06:53.542,1:06:55.594 Because we think to be born 1:06:56.694,1:06:59.461 It is from not being to be. 1:06:59.994,1:07:01.922 We think to die 1:07:02.737,1:07:05.061 It is to go from being not to be. 1:07:07.127,1:07:09.694 The idea of birth and death 1:07:11.394,1:07:14.427 It is not possible without the idea of being and not being. 1:07:15.627,1:07:17.761 And the fear of death is based 1:07:19.494,1:07:21.461 the idea of not being. 1:07:22.799,1:07:26.257 If we can remove the idea of being and not being, 1:07:27.394,1:07:31.627 We also removed the idea of birth and death, 1:07:32.861,1:07:34.361 and we are free. 1:07:45.361,1:07:46.861 It is not be. 1:08:39.427,1:08:41.194 When we look a cloud, 1:08:42.094,1:08:43.594 Discover 1:08:43.994,1:08:45.560 that it is impossible. 1:09:47.327,1:09:49.060 We try to look at 1:09:50.394,1:09:51.894 a cloud. 1:09:57.094,1:10:00.061 A cloud is made up of elements not cloud. 1:10:02.494,1:10:03.994 Heat, 1:10:04.927,1:10:06.428 of water from the ocean, 1:10:06.994,1:10:08.494 from the Lake, 1:10:08.729,1:10:10.627 our breathing. 1:10:12.861,1:10:16.694 When we look at the cloud, we see elements not cloud. 1:10:19.461,1:10:20.961 A cloud 1:10:21.461,1:10:24.061 It is impermanent, it constantly changes. 1:10:25.726,1:10:29.126 Its nature is the nature of impermanence. 1:10:32.361,1:10:34.127 A cloud changes 1:10:34.861,1:10:36.827 faster than a person. 1:10:38.761,1:10:41.628 There are changes at any time, a person 1:10:42.127,1:10:45.227 cells that are born and die, 1:10:47.494,1:10:50.827 but look, we think that the person is the same. 1:10:51.894,1:10:53.377 But in a cloud 1:10:53.527,1:10:55.794 It is easier to see the impermanence. 1:10:56.361,1:10:58.859 Its shape changes very fast. 1:11:07.061,1:11:08.894 We see that the cloud 1:11:09.761,1:11:11.827 a cloud does not die ever. 1:11:14.394,1:11:16.461 Can a cloud pass 1:11:19.261,1:11:20.778 to not be? 1:11:21.894,1:11:27.127 We say that the cloud is, and that one day no longer more. 1:11:27.723,1:11:30.061 If, 1:11:30.827,1:11:33.194 the cloud will not be. 1:11:36.494,1:11:39.494 But it is impossible that a cloud happens to not be. 1:11:42.461,1:11:44.527 A cloud cannot be reused 1:11:45.494,1:11:46.994 nothing. 1:11:47.694,1:11:50.494 A cloud may become hail, 1:11:51.327,1:11:53.361 rain, snow. 1:11:55.194,1:11:56.677 Mist. 1:11:56.827,1:12:00.027 A river. But a cloud can not die. 1:12:01.427,1:12:03.394 And that fits very well 1:12:05.127,1:12:07.427 with Lavoisier: nothing is lost. 1:12:11.194,1:12:14.594 It is impossible that the cloud is lost. 1:12:15.461,1:12:17.594 You can never become anything. 1:12:18.900,1:12:21.300 You can only convert into something else. 1:12:23.627,1:12:26.727 With a very different appearance, 1:12:27.427,1:12:29.594 but the cloud still lingers. 1:12:30.261,1:12:34.694 The same must be true for the human being 1:12:34.861,1:12:36.527 and other beings. 1:12:37.061,1:12:38.594 We can not die, 1:12:38.794,1:12:42.361 We continue in other forms, 1:12:44.761,1:12:48.061 more or less fine, but always continue. 1:12:48.827,1:12:50.494 There is a medium 1:12:52.261,1:12:53.894 acquire... 1:13:59.391,1:14:00.891 The cloud is still there. 1:14:24.621,1:14:26.988 It is possible to make 1:14:27.955,1:14:29.721 a beautiful continuation. 1:14:34.055,1:14:36.588 For a cloud and for us also. 1:14:36.988,1:14:39.955 Because we will always continue. 1:14:43.670,1:14:46.888 Like? In Buddhism it is action. 1:14:49.661,1:14:51.928 We continue on our actions. 1:14:55.488,1:14:59.755 I think Jean Paul Sartre said something. 1:15:00.055,1:15:02.588 The man is the sum of their actions. 1:15:04.221,1:15:07.155 The man is not more than their actions. 1:15:08.455,1:15:12.021 The value of a human being is seen in his actions. 1:15:12.621,1:15:14.821 It is very close to Buddha. 1:15:18.221,1:15:19.988 With a correct vision 1:15:22.586,1:15:24.619 free of all these notions, 1:15:25.486,1:15:26.986 You can 1:15:28.506,1:15:30.686 produce correct thoughts. 1:15:31.850,1:15:34.019 He is a right-thinking 1:15:34.719,1:15:36.819 free of all discrimination. 1:15:39.187,1:15:41.019 A thought that has 1:15:42.345,1:15:43.845 understanding 1:15:44.528,1:15:46.028 and love. 1:15:46.719,1:15:49.052 A thought that can nourish us, 1:15:49.453,1:15:50.953 You can heal 1:15:52.119,1:15:53.853 and nourish and heal the world. 1:15:54.512,1:15:57.386 It is possible for each practitioner 1:15:58.506,1:16:01.803 produce a right-thinking, a loving thought, 1:16:01.953,1:16:03.953 a thought of understanding, 1:16:04.172,1:16:06.747 If we have this base 1:16:07.586,1:16:09.986 of knowledge, the right view. 1:16:10.186,1:16:11.919 There is a separate self. 1:16:14.019,1:16:15.653 You are, therefore I am. 1:16:18.153,1:16:19.658 I am done 1:16:20.253,1:16:25.648 elements I, and you're not made of elements not you. 1:16:27.986,1:16:30.246 I am in you and you are in me. 1:16:33.522,1:16:35.022 As a novice, 1:16:35.619,1:16:39.070 I learned how to make a bow to Buddha 1:16:39.786,1:16:41.286 with a gatha. 1:16:42.345,1:16:43.845 My teacher told me: 1:16:44.153,1:16:46.314 before touching the Earth 1:16:49.683,1:16:51.183 before Buddha, 1:16:51.355,1:16:52.886 You must breathe 1:16:53.352,1:16:56.186 and you should read a little poem 1:16:59.017,1:17:03.886 to get ready for a relationship 1:17:05.386,1:17:09.319 a real communion with Buddha. 1:17:10.442,1:17:11.942 This gatha 1:17:12.953,1:17:14.453 It is as follows: 1:17:16.186,1:17:21.786 He leans and which is there, 1:17:22.686,1:17:25.974 It receives the inclination, 1:17:26.353,1:17:29.319 both are empty in nature. 1:17:31.253,1:17:33.453 I am made of elements I 1:17:34.079,1:17:38.253 and you, Buddha, are also made of elements not Buddha. 1:17:45.119,1:17:48.319 I am also in you and you are also in me. 1:17:48.754,1:17:52.453 Then you see the interser between you and Buddha. 1:17:53.584,1:17:54.969 You must
