WEBVTT 00:00:01.027 --> 00:00:02.677 ...Right? Be aware of that. 00:00:04.747 --> 00:00:06.317 So when you're doing it, 00:00:07.116 --> 00:00:08.766 when you're not conscious about it, 00:00:08.766 --> 00:00:10.796 what you're doing is you're grasping it. 00:00:11.532 --> 00:00:14.902 Your deep insides are saying, "I hate this." 00:00:16.027 --> 00:00:19.187 Very quietly, but "I hate." 00:00:19.187 --> 00:00:21.817 But if you're conscious of it, in that moment, 00:00:21.817 --> 00:00:24.147 you look at a famous person, 00:00:24.147 --> 00:00:27.217 you look at them from a place of openness. 00:00:31.754 --> 00:00:35.754 You have to look at the image, 00:00:35.754 --> 00:00:39.214 because the image is where you're storing that information and emotion. 00:00:39.214 --> 00:00:42.295 You look, but you're trying to look from a different place 00:00:42.310 --> 00:00:47.410 You're reprogramming it you're restructuring it. 00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:52.340 You are healing the relationship. 00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:55.410 So if you look with that openness to that same image, 00:00:55.410 --> 00:00:57.990 At some point that image will have different meaning for you. 00:00:58.003 --> 00:01:00.223 It will not carry the same meaning. 00:01:01.353 --> 00:01:04.863 If you look at it in your own body, 00:01:04.863 --> 00:01:08.203 if you look at it in your health, probably the same thing 00:01:09.996 --> 00:01:15.576 You know, wherever the cells are in your body 00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:22.739 producing a kind of disease, like a cancerous cell, 00:01:23.315 --> 00:01:35.585 if you look at that, if you're being aware of that in your body 00:01:35.585 --> 00:01:39.985 aware of yourself, the whole aspect of yourself, 00:01:39.985 --> 00:01:46.995 it will begin to give different information to the rest of your body. 00:01:46.995 --> 00:01:53.092 And therefore, that information helps begin to restructure 00:01:53.107 --> 00:01:57.107 your biological conditions. 00:01:57.299 --> 00:02:02.849 It is what we believe, how to understand it's going to happen to the body. 00:02:06.270 --> 00:02:10.270 Reproduction of cells, like cancerous cells, the same principle. 00:02:13.525 --> 00:02:19.265 That's how the cancerous cell knows how to reproduce the cancerous cell. 00:02:19.265 --> 00:02:23.265 It will do wonderful thing if it forgets one day. 00:02:24.454 --> 00:02:28.454 And it's producing some new cell. 00:02:28.682 --> 00:02:32.682 Probably that's what happens if the deep pattern of identity 00:02:32.690 --> 00:02:34.950 it shifts something inside you 00:02:34.994 --> 00:02:38.234 It shifts what it brings in the body. 00:02:41.898 --> 00:02:44.358 So the principle here is 00:02:46.681 --> 00:02:54.421 the power of openness and awareness is able to change things 00:02:54.446 --> 00:02:58.525 in our body, able to change the way we identify ourselves, 00:02:58.525 --> 00:03:01.145 it's able to change the way we relate to the world, 00:03:01.145 --> 00:03:03.595 it's able to change everything. 00:03:03.602 --> 00:03:06.372 That's why it's called vision, it's able to cut those things. 00:03:10.496 --> 00:03:14.496 So that's a bit of explanation. 00:03:15.751 --> 00:03:19.751 Any questions? 00:03:22.768 --> 00:03:41.058 I'm happy to see that many European people are staying up really late. 00:03:41.058 --> 00:03:45.058 They are participating with us. 00:03:46.997 --> 00:03:50.997 So any questions? 00:03:55.372 --> 00:04:07.462 Do you think that in openness, there's a possibility to maintain curiosity? 00:04:09.212 --> 00:04:22.292 Curiosity? Yeah, and there is some degree of curiosity in ourselves. 00:04:24.864 --> 00:04:31.814 And there's also curiosity on some survival level, you know 00:04:31.814 --> 00:04:34.734 I'm curious to know what I need, and so on. 00:04:38.085 --> 00:04:41.255 Curiosity has a lot of playfulness, 00:04:41.255 --> 00:04:43.275 and you cannot have playfulness 00:04:43.275 --> 00:04:44.715 if you're not open to it. 00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:49.500 What we use, what we say, we are serious. 00:04:49.502 --> 00:04:53.142 That's what happens in a relationship, when people are very serious 00:04:53.142 --> 00:04:55.732 in a relationship, that is the beginning of divorce. 00:04:55.929 --> 00:04:58.759 [laughs] 00:04:58.791 --> 00:05:03.151 They are curious about each other? Yes. Too curious about each other. 00:05:03.166 --> 00:05:06.966 They are not that curious, they are very open to each other, 00:05:12.975 --> 00:05:16.975 that doesn't mean loyalty and things like that. 00:05:18.042 --> 00:05:20.542 There's some sort of sense of openness 00:05:20.549 --> 00:05:21.879 and that brings a lot of playfulness. 00:05:22.983 --> 00:05:30.383 I was in a place in a country where people are usually serious, 00:05:30.421 --> 00:05:33.391 and I was making a little joke, saying, 00:05:33.431 --> 00:05:36.481 "How are you going to be a little more playful here?" 00:05:36.511 --> 00:05:38.971 So how are you going to be a little more playful? Of course, 00:05:38.995 --> 00:05:44.575 first thing, you kind of have to go inside yourself, wherever this 00:05:44.648 --> 00:05:53.178 seriousness is stuck. You have to go to that place inside and loosen that up. 00:05:53.193 --> 00:05:56.643 You have to feel some confidence. 00:05:56.660 --> 00:06:00.530 I think that confidence is clearly a key to be playful. 00:06:02.066 --> 00:06:06.066 So if you're confident that you can be a bit more playful, if you're playful you 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:09.559 can have humor, and you can have curiosity in a good way. 00:06:09.930 --> 00:06:15.340 If whatever you're curious about is not showing up, you're curious 00:06:15.382 --> 00:06:18.002 why it's not showing up! 00:06:18.011 --> 00:06:21.608 Rather than feeling pain that it's not showing up. 00:06:21.608 --> 00:06:23.488 You're open to every direction. 00:06:25.507 --> 00:06:31.757 So yes, I don't think openness prevents anything. 00:06:31.789 --> 00:06:35.789 Openness makes life richer not poorer. 00:06:35.846 --> 00:06:42.186 Openness is the source of knowledge, more than the knowledge we conceptually know. 00:06:42.330 --> 00:06:48.220 There was a study in Netherlands about these 00:06:48.220 --> 00:06:55.270 executive people making big decisions about a big company. 00:06:56.995 --> 00:07:02.485 The research was based on, did they make a better decision when they're taught alot? 00:07:02.504 --> 00:07:05.934 Or did they make a better decision when they didn't think much? 00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:11.340 The conclusion was, they made a much better decision when 00:07:11.361 --> 00:07:14.591 they didn't think much. 00:07:14.591 --> 00:07:16.731 So of course, people who think a lot, 00:07:16.736 --> 00:07:18.736 they believe we have to think. 00:07:20.962 --> 00:07:24.122 we have to think to not to think. 00:07:24.869 --> 00:07:31.539 But, some sense of these practices call for a direct path. 00:07:31.551 --> 00:07:38.481 Direct path means you don't have to think about it. 00:07:38.481 --> 00:07:41.867 You can just be aware of it. 00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:47.510 Any other questions? 00:07:51.291 --> 00:07:56.471 We have a group of people in Brazil who we've met with before, 00:07:56.518 --> 00:08:02.948 they're asking, "Please, what do you mean by the essence of sky?" 00:08:03.085 --> 00:08:04.865 [laughs] 00:08:04.918 --> 00:08:16.048 [he repeats the question.] 00:08:18.961 --> 00:08:25.441 First, when I say essence, the sense or meaning of essence is "the truth" 00:08:25.534 --> 00:08:29.534 the truth of the sky, the truth of the phenomena, the truth of the mind. 00:08:29.556 --> 00:08:33.336 So in some sense, the essence of sky I mean, the truth of the sky. 00:08:33.357 --> 00:08:37.357 So what is the truth of the sky? 00:08:37.361 --> 00:08:43.411 It's that boundlessness. When I'm gazing the sky and I'm aware 00:08:43.508 --> 00:08:49.918 of that boundlessness, because the sky is boundless. 00:08:50.163 --> 00:08:54.163 When I'm aware of that, it's something deep. 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.790 Psychologically it does something to me inside. 00:08:56.802 --> 00:09:00.802 I feel that boundlessness. 00:09:00.871 --> 00:09:06.821 But when I'm looking at the sky I have to be aware that that's what I'm feeling. 00:09:06.861 --> 00:09:10.861 That's what I'm seeing, that's what I'm experiencing, that's what I'm aware of. 00:09:10.899 --> 00:09:14.259 Very often people will not be aware of it. 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:19.929 I gave one example where people were doing a sky gazing practice in New Mexico. 00:09:20.066 --> 00:09:26.486 Everybody was having this wonderful experience! 00:09:27.236 --> 00:09:34.336 But one guy was getting really agitated about it. He looked around, 00:09:34.377 --> 00:09:37.137 and it seemed like everyone seems like they were having a good time. 00:09:37.160 --> 00:09:40.080 He's wondering why they're having a good time and he's looking up at the empty sky 00:09:40.134 --> 00:09:44.134 And he said, "What am I supposed to see?" 00:09:44.635 --> 00:09:45.745 [laughs] 00:09:45.750 --> 00:09:48.910 Well, he's not seeing the essence of the sky. 00:09:48.910 --> 00:09:51.570 He's not seeing the boundlessness of the sky. 00:09:51.570 --> 00:09:57.360 He's expecting some stuff to show up right in front of him, 00:09:57.393 --> 00:10:01.393 what he would desire. 00:10:02.763 --> 00:10:05.003 So that's what I mean. 00:10:05.018 --> 00:10:09.018 I saw a cartoon in New York Times one time, 00:10:09.068 --> 00:10:20.118 there was this wall street person, and he's in Tibet with all the 00:10:20.157 --> 00:10:25.077 hiking shoes and all those things, and really getting up in the mountain. 00:10:25.234 --> 00:10:29.234 And on top of the mountain he sees a clear vision of himself; 00:10:29.234 --> 00:10:32.324 Not with the hiking shoes. He sees himself with the suit and tie 00:10:32.349 --> 00:10:36.349 and breathless with this pure vision. 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:45.080 So, no matter where you go, you might see your impure visions 00:10:45.235 --> 00:10:49.235 you're not even able to see what you're seeing. 00:10:49.257 --> 00:10:52.477 You're only seeing what you're wanting to see. 00:10:53.003 --> 00:10:55.153 Yeah. 00:10:55.436 --> 00:10:58.656 [asking question] This is somewhat related. 00:10:58.668 --> 00:11:02.668 Kelly is in Vietnam right now, and she's watching the broadcast. 00:11:02.721 --> 00:11:07.491 She says, "Here in Vietnam I'm more lonely than I was even in the dark retreat 00:11:07.501 --> 00:11:10.551 Everything truly appears to be illusion. 00:11:10.691 --> 00:11:15.601 How can I keep myself connected when there are so few supports?" 00:11:17.149 --> 00:11:24.269 It seems like she's in a place where she's lacking support. 00:11:28.525 --> 00:11:32.525 Sure. Well, you know, 00:11:33.719 --> 00:11:40.819 the opportunity for you to be completely open to the 00:11:41.170 --> 00:11:44.070 lonely person in you. 00:11:44.083 --> 00:11:48.653 So that basically means what we were saying earlier when we said, 00:11:48.735 --> 00:11:54.095 "It really hurts me. I really feel lonely, I really feel lonely." 00:11:54.539 --> 00:12:00.199 And probably that sense of loneliness, probably everybody feels it. 00:12:00.199 --> 00:12:05.559 At some times we have to go so far away to feel it really strong. 00:12:05.959 --> 00:12:09.959 So when you feel it really strong, you have the opportunity to 00:12:09.988 --> 00:12:11.568 to know that. 00:12:11.642 --> 00:12:14.702 And to know that will be fully open to that 00:12:15.280 --> 00:12:21.600 and when you're fully open to that, it will go away. 00:12:21.981 --> 00:12:27.780 When it goes away, the voice saying, "I'm lonely," and the energy 00:12:27.780 --> 00:12:32.030 bringing a sense of loneliness, and the one who's thinking, "I'm far away," 00:12:32.048 --> 00:12:35.598 or "I'm thinking maybe to move away," 00:12:35.626 --> 00:12:39.626 Out of all those voices and cards and the way you relate to yourself, 00:12:39.626 --> 00:12:42.856 all those somehow are like a cloud. 00:12:42.910 --> 00:12:48.960 The way you let them go away is by being fully aware and connect. 00:12:48.963 --> 00:12:57.233 Connect with them, so it's like a loving mother sending this love to this 00:12:57.264 --> 00:13:05.104 napping child. So radiate the love and attention with your open awareness 00:13:05.114 --> 00:13:07.894 to that lonely experience in yourself. 00:13:07.942 --> 00:13:13.382 That awareness, when you open to that, it will help. 00:13:13.382 --> 00:13:17.052 It will dissolve. And when it dissolves, 00:13:17.052 --> 00:13:20.202 you come to a place where you don't feel that loneliness. 00:13:20.202 --> 00:13:24.202 So you need to become familiar with that place where you don't feel familiar. 00:13:24.217 --> 00:13:27.107 The question is, how do you get to that place where you can feel 00:13:27.130 --> 00:13:34.410 "it's okay." So that's what I was saying earlier that pain body. 00:13:34.424 --> 00:13:37.374 The principle is the same. 00:13:38.164 --> 00:13:44.154 And we all, right now with the internet, you're not lonely, you know? 00:13:44.251 --> 00:13:48.251 Everybody's together. Yes? 00:13:55.471 --> 00:14:02.741 [questioner:] Could you comment on the role of medical diagnosis 00:14:03.062 --> 00:14:09.352 when one experiences certain aches and pains? Does seeking that 00:14:09.546 --> 00:14:16.106 diagnostic action from a Western medical practitioner, is that a way of 00:14:16.130 --> 00:14:23.710 staying attached to the story of the pain rather than being with it 00:14:23.730 --> 00:14:28.609 and allowing it to disappear? 00:14:29.839 --> 00:14:34.328 Well I think that.... 00:14:40.288 --> 00:14:49.847 Well, I think in the West, all the doctors are trained to tell some sense of truth. 00:14:51.914 --> 00:14:57.824 So people say, "Okay you only have five months to live," or something like that. 00:14:58.031 --> 00:15:03.761 So if somebody has 5 months to live, do they really need to know that? 00:15:04.063 --> 00:15:10.093 I mean, how important is it for a doctor to tell you you have 5 months to live? 00:15:10.173 --> 00:15:13.063 From my point of view, I don't think it's that important. 00:15:13.063 --> 00:15:16.183 If you have some suggestion about what you can do to do something, 00:15:16.372 --> 00:15:20.372 so somehow the way people... 00:15:25.563 --> 00:15:34.663 bring this kind of energy, there's a sense of harshness. Maybe not a lack of 00:15:34.666 --> 00:15:39.866 compassion, but maybe it feels like a lack of compassion and attention 00:15:39.878 --> 00:15:43.878 because there's so much time pressure of so many patients he needs to see 00:15:45.316 --> 00:15:52.286 So, the point is, when somebody labels themselves as something, 00:15:54.961 --> 00:16:01.311 or "now I am this," I think it's terrible for sure. 00:16:01.500 --> 00:16:07.870 So how you don't do that? Again, You have to try to be open. 00:16:08.029 --> 00:16:11.189 If you're not identifying with being something else, 00:16:11.229 --> 00:16:13.929 why do you have to identify with being sick? 00:16:13.929 --> 00:16:17.929 You're sick maybe, but you don't have to identify with that. 00:16:18.392 --> 00:16:22.392 You know, last moment of breath for a woman, 00:16:23.317 --> 00:16:29.167 you can live with full sense of joy, no matter how sick you are 00:16:29.167 --> 00:16:34.727 or how much pain you have, that awareness, that joy, that openness, 00:16:35.508 --> 00:16:40.078 it doesn't take away. But again, the point is how we can feel confidence 00:16:40.153 --> 00:16:45.703 to know that is the case. To even attempt to try, 00:16:45.754 --> 00:16:49.754 that have glimpse of experience. 00:16:50.503 --> 00:16:56.063 It's true, and people do have those trusts in themselves to not be influenced 00:16:56.107 --> 00:17:02.107 by those labels. For sure it's a challenge 00:17:02.307 --> 00:17:06.307 The question is practice. 00:17:17.167 --> 00:17:23.237 Angel from Paris, Texas is asking, "Can we access emptiness through 00:17:23.349 --> 00:17:27.349 the experience of the boundless space?" 00:17:29.197 --> 00:17:34.837 Well, I mean, the word emptiness in Buddhism is used a lot. 00:17:35.888 --> 00:17:39.888 And sometimes in the West I think that people... When we were in the 00:17:39.888 --> 00:17:42.858 monastery growing up for 15-30 years, 00:17:42.863 --> 00:17:44.993 we were studying about emptiness, we never felt emptiness was something 00:17:44.993 --> 00:17:47.123 wrong, that there's something wrong with emptiness, but here, 00:17:47.123 --> 00:17:52.423 when we use the word emptiness, it's like, "Oh.." So it doesn't look so good. 00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.139 [laughs] 00:17:55.152 --> 00:18:01.762 So, in a way the word emptiness, the word emptiness and fulness no differences. 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:09.540 Because in order to be full, it has to be empty. If it is not empty, then it 00:18:09.608 --> 00:18:13.118 cannot be full of the right things. 00:18:14.787 --> 00:18:21.247 So, we were talking about finishing our 5 day retreat, 00:18:21.986 --> 00:18:28.656 And one of the things we were talking, is that there's a concept in tradition 00:18:29.107 --> 00:18:33.827 the great perfection tradition, that means that everything 00:18:33.845 --> 00:18:38.795 is spontaneously perfected. It basically means that everything is perfected 00:18:38.812 --> 00:18:45.922 in us. So for example, that means joy, it's not going to hinder itself 00:18:45.948 --> 00:18:48.408 in light and quality. 00:18:48.408 --> 00:18:52.408 Let's go down to one simple quality like joy and happiness that we all know 00:18:52.427 --> 00:18:56.427 about it, right? So, joy, is it perfected in us? 00:18:57.284 --> 00:19:02.894 Yes. The only way you're going to truly experience your true joy - 00:19:02.995 --> 00:19:06.995 true joy means joy of being - 00:19:07.021 --> 00:19:14.971 is to experience yourself clear from who you are NOT. 00:19:16.175 --> 00:19:20.175 Probably right now, the way you feel who you are is occupying 00:19:20.352 --> 00:19:25.382 so much of space, that it's not allowing you to feel who you are. 00:19:25.429 --> 00:19:28.229 Therefore, probably you don't have so much of joy, 00:19:28.256 --> 00:19:36.556 or joy of that being. But you maybe do have some joy of becoming, having, 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.449 of being something which is not necessarily who you are, but it's being 00:19:41.497 --> 00:19:43.827 better than who you think you can be. 00:19:43.836 --> 00:19:49.026 It's still in your mind. Or, "I'm better because I just finished a project!" 00:19:49.103 --> 00:19:53.883 So finishing a project is better than someone who hasn't finished the project. 00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:55.560 Right? So, I'm happy. 00:19:55.835 --> 00:20:01.115 Today is a Friday afternoon so I'm happy, so Monday I will be sad. 00:20:01.228 --> 00:20:07.218 So, all those conditions you create to yourself are simply a condition. 00:20:07.261 --> 00:20:12.591 Through that you can have little joys, but true sense of joy is joy of being. 00:20:12.829 --> 00:20:16.039 So what do you need to have joy of being? 00:20:16.045 --> 00:20:19.055 You don't need to have anything to have a joy of being, you simply must be aware. 00:20:19.055 --> 00:20:25.575 If you simply look this very moment, close your eyes, feel the stillness 00:20:25.575 --> 00:20:29.575 in your body, draw attention inward, do you feel the joy? 00:20:29.941 --> 00:20:32.351 Of course you feel the joy! 00:20:36.913 --> 00:20:38.983 It's there. 00:20:40.612 --> 00:20:46.212 Especially when you're open to it. The power of openness. 00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:51.210 When you're open to yourself, you feel that openness in you. 00:20:51.284 --> 00:20:56.714 In that openness, everything is perfected. That means joy is perfected 00:20:57.963 --> 00:21:03.483 Can you be aware? Yes, if you're trying to be aware, it's there. 00:21:03.562 --> 00:21:07.562 That means it's perfected there. Is that joy equally valuable then 00:21:07.585 --> 00:21:10.225 to possessing a new car? Far better. 00:21:10.235 --> 00:21:12.605 I guarantee far better. 00:21:12.645 --> 00:21:15.575 Do you trust that? For sure we will not trust that much. 00:21:15.834 --> 00:21:21.054 [laughs] I want to have that joy but also want the joy of a new car! 00:21:21.924 --> 00:21:27.074 But at some point you need to have confidence enough to know that it's truly 00:21:27.157 --> 00:21:29.857 better. This is better than the car. 00:21:29.860 --> 00:21:33.280 That confidence you got to have one day. One day, we have to look for 00:21:33.280 --> 00:21:39.140 that confidence. When that confidence comes, it's life changing. 00:21:40.122 --> 00:21:48.132 So basically the question about emptiness, it's basically a fulness. 00:21:49.125 --> 00:21:52.285 It's a perfection that's spontaneously perfected. 00:21:52.285 --> 00:21:56.285 What kind of perfected? All the qualities of perfection like joy. 00:21:56.521 --> 00:22:02.091 In order to feel that joy, one has to feel that empty or clear or open 00:22:02.115 --> 00:22:06.115 otherwise that joy of being is hard to feel. 00:22:09.620 --> 00:22:13.620 For example, in that space, talking about the loneliness. 00:22:13.636 --> 00:22:19.046 In that space, if you're open to it and look inside there, 00:22:19.091 --> 00:22:26.321 you feel one important quality. You feel connectedness. 00:22:26.321 --> 00:22:35.530 Because you are connected to that essence of mind, to that openness in yourself. 00:22:35.558 --> 00:22:39.138 You are connected to yourself. 00:22:39.152 --> 00:22:44.082 When you feel that connection to yourself, you feel that connectedness. 00:22:44.129 --> 00:22:47.679 When you feel that, you don't feel very lonely. 00:22:47.709 --> 00:22:52.379 But when you don't feel connectedness yourself, you're seeking a connection 00:22:52.489 --> 00:22:56.489 from elsewhere that's not inside yourself. 00:22:56.823 --> 00:23:00.823 Therefore, elsewhere means all the familiar places when you're out in 00:23:01.080 --> 00:23:05.780 the country where you don't know people, then you feel disconnected. 00:23:05.784 --> 00:23:08.154 You'll feel very lonely. 00:23:10.365 --> 00:23:15.185 Loneliness is a magic experience, same as connectedness. 00:23:15.221 --> 00:23:19.861 You can be middle of the family, you can live with somebody, 00:23:19.886 --> 00:23:22.636 but for a lifetime you'll feel disconnected! 00:23:22.636 --> 00:23:26.636 Or you could be alone and connected with everybody! 00:23:27.115 --> 00:23:30.065 The way you look, the way you experience the world 00:23:30.068 --> 00:23:32.768 has nothing to do with your circumstances so much. 00:23:33.300 --> 00:23:37.300 That's the beauty. The true realization has nothing to do with the 00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:42.149 circumstances. I think that's beautiful news. Very good news. 00:23:42.170 --> 00:23:46.170 Has nothing to do with anybody, therefore you have a chance. 00:23:46.196 --> 00:23:49.336 If we have to fix the world to make you happy, forget about it. 00:23:49.747 --> 00:23:51.407 [laughs] 00:23:51.407 --> 00:23:57.977 If every family member has to agree with you for you to be happy, forget about it. 00:23:58.074 --> 00:24:02.924 First, probably, it's never possible that every family member will agree with you. 00:24:02.998 --> 00:24:06.318 Second, if it's possible, the day they will agree with you, 00:24:06.318 --> 00:24:08.058 you'll disagree with them. 00:24:08.578 --> 00:24:10.008 [laughs] 00:24:10.375 --> 00:24:12.455 Yeah. 00:24:14.911 --> 00:24:18.911 [questioner:] I just wanted to share what Susan in Vietnam said. 00:24:19.919 --> 00:24:25.899 She says, "Thank you. I do feel connected now. My life and meditation is very rich. 00:24:26.043 --> 00:24:29.203 I guess I'm just missing you all. Thank you." 00:24:29.381 --> 00:24:35.531 And then, later, as you were talking, she says, "Perfect medicine this morning! 00:24:35.568 --> 00:24:38.068 This is so great! Love to all." 00:24:42.158 --> 00:24:46.158 And then, just to mention, in Monterrey, Mexico, there are 12 people in the cafe 00:24:46.161 --> 00:24:55.131 there I believe. I don't know if this is a little off point, but often what they ask 00:24:55.133 --> 00:25:00.133 is "where can we get further information about walking meditation?" 00:25:02.336 --> 00:25:06.336 But anyways, I just wanted you to know that they are there. 00:25:07.808 --> 00:25:15.108 Thank you. I think we've finished, so thank you.
