...is that, as I said, there's a meditation state and a post-meditation state, right? In post-meditation state, you come in contact with your work, with your daily life, with everything. So, usually what we do, we just take it very seriously. We just take it as ultimate. Ultimate to our own experience, which is going within the realm of the energy. We just take the display so seriously. not having the experience of the root of the presence, you know. So therefore, when we're just sucked into the display, when we're sucked into that energy, so then it's very hard to realize the openness. So you don't see the humor inside. So therefore it's become very serious. So that is what in meditation state you find the presence. And then when you see the display, either it could be something terrible or something you are able to transcend both of them. So in time it will come.

[01:05]

But you have that, you know, if your coffee is not good, drink the tea. But the tea is not ultimate. Your old energy patterns may come because of the karma or whatever. Yes, yes, because of the... Fundamentally there is a display of the awareness, right? But fundamentally they are transcended by nature. But since we get vaccinated, we constantly try to freeze this. Automatically we are freezing them. So in that way, being sucked up into that energy, being sucked up into that, one does not see the presence, how they are transcendence. That is what the modern meditation sees. When you're trying to maintain that presence of awareness and just watch what's going on and allow it to happen, sometimes I say, well, there's this idea that comes in that maybe there's something that's supposed to happen in our life. And my judgmental mind would very often say, no, I'm not going to allow this lesson that I have to learn to come in.

[02:06]

I don't want it. I don't want to deal with it. But for me, if I just stay with it with awareness, try to keep that presence of awareness, allow the energy to be without obstructing it. If you have the presence, it will transcend. That's for sure. No matter what, you're not distracted. But if you don't have the presence, then, you know, that is something which people always try to struggle in their life, that, okay, now I have to be like this and this, and when this does not happen, and that kind of energy affects. So what is happening? One is trying to struggle hard how to produce energy how to produce a state of temporal, of course the ultimate, the everlasting cannot be there because one is simply trying to find, trying to develop an energy which one can find a state that one can feel relaxed. But not knowing the display is by nature, it is open, so therefore the life changes all the time.

[03:10]

And you get confused. Why this is going? Why I have worked so hard? Now why is it changing again? Why is it manifesting? So that kind of unresulting comes because of not having that presence. Rinpoche, how does that relate to following the path of the heart? If your inner presence has a feeling that... I can hardly put this in words. You mean the mind and the heart, the two things you're doing? Well, I think relating to what Bill is saying, that if you have a feeling that you're following your heart's path, is that an attachment as well? Following your heart path? Yeah, if you feel something very strongly from your inner self, that's how I believe I'm following what I should be doing.

[04:12]

But yet it sounds as if that might be getting stuck in attachments. You see, like desire leads towards attachment, towards freezing. But the teachings introduce how you freeze it, how you free yourself. So to find the state of the presence, which is absolutely, as I said, once you really come to that presence, even 1,000 Buddhas are going to come and tomorrow morning they're going to give initiation. You don't have anything, you see. And if the whole world is going to come and make attack on you, you are absolutely no fear at this stage. That's how the total clarity manifests at this stage. But right now, of course, one is going, but when the real essence... When you hear the real essence, it is something our own nature, so we get very moved, you know, something, we really feel that, and that is not something we are fabricating, it's the essence who we are.

[05:15]

So that is something in meditation, as I said. Though the nature within you is called the clarity of the mother, your old fundamental state, but what you're practicing is called the clarity of the path, because in the path one is still not able to get free from all kinds of subtle distractions. There's a gross emotion and a subtle emotion that's still working on those levels. You're talking about in meditation where you don't get seduced by devotion even as one of the things. Out of meditation, when one experiences devotion and you're really feeling it strongly, what is the difference between being attached to that and just absolutely feeling that as part of the practice? Now, once you really see that devotion to the place which shows you the path of enlightenment, then it gives you the possibility, it gives you the chance to really relate from that enlightened energy.

[06:29]

But if you are attached to the neurotic state, then it makes your mind... stronger and stronger. But this one, you know, but this one, this hook lets you, okay, now you understand, okay, now you open up. So you will do it. And then you open up. That's how you reach. So there's a point in that. That's a big deal. And that is how you receive the blessing of the lineage. You receive that energy, you know, and you come to the point, okay, now what I'm seeing before, before when I see my Lama, I was seeing into a form. Now my presence, it's at least Lama. Well, then you really understand that ultimate Lama within you. Then at that stage you see your Lama into real Buddha. So that is how one's, yes. there was, as I said, the Pagmo Tupa and Tapu, Tapu, which, you know,

[07:30]

When Thakpor Rinpoche went to see Thakpor Rinpoche, Thakpor Rinpoche has a subtle grasping that he has attained a realization. But he thought he attained the first boomy of realization, the first boomy. And then Thakpor Rinpoche was there and Thakpor Rinpoche asked Thakpor Rinpoche, did you attain the first realization, first boomy? And Thakpor Rinpoche said, yes, I have attained it. And so every size you think is possible for me. Yes, it is possible. And he didn't say anything. So next morning, he called Pangu Tupa, and in Tibet, they were having, we don't have bread, we have to, like a dough, you see, you know, tsampa, tsampa dough. So he was having the breakfast, it's like a bread, you know, so. And then he said, do you think you have attained the first bhumi? And he said, yes, I've attained the first bhumi. And on all sides, you really think, yes.

[08:34]

And he said... your first Bumi, and if I have to choose this piece of door, I'm going to choose this piece of door, he said. And at that stage, the pride which he has, the little subtle pride which he has that I've attained this first Bumi, immediately transcends into the deeper realization manifested at that stage. So our mind is living in the experience of the soul. Even that has to open until one reaches the essence of the artichoke. As I said, that is what you eat. That is this. That is called Sopacito. What is the first moment? First bhumi is bodhisattva bhumi, the explosion of joy of realization, but there is emotion there. There is a subtle emotion. There are ten bhumis, each one of them attaining realization. The second bhumi is more subtle than the first one, but they are absolutely free from the gross emotion.

[09:37]

They have no gross emotion. It's like a cup of tea. In a cup of coffee, if there's a raw coffee, it's like the ordinary state of mind, with the gross emotion. Now the coffee is no more there, but there's a smell. You see, if you smell, there's a smell, like that. The subtle emotion is like that. Thank you. Just one further question, sort of a clarification on that. For example, using an example of, say, Drukta Kunbe, how does he know... how does he know or how does he know that he's a bodhisattva versus being somebody who is just Chasing after some craving or emotion, for example. Once you find your presence, once you find your presence, you know it. Once you find your presence, it's not something that is, it's not a confusion state. It's not a confusion state. It's a transcendence of confusion. When it's a transcendence of confusion, one knows that, yes, yes.

[10:39]

And the whole of Tibet, the whole, the great, the whole entire, the great teachers, the entire Lamaism knows that he's a great ambassador. Yes. You spoke of the merit of the relative. Yes. What exactly did that mean? What does the relative mean in that context? The merit of the ultimate, the merit of the relative. The merit of the relative is the entire six paramita practice. Paramita, not from the point of paramita, but simply on relative life. Paramita means transcendence. Para is the union of the other stage. It's not working in a real characterized merit. It's working on uncharacteristic. But until one is reached that, like everyone, people tend to, when we see someone who is nothing, try to give something and try to work better, try to develop some sense of compassion.

[11:41]

We build our compassion, we build the positive side. So that is more like a relative thing, relative merit. Where the transcendental is appearing in the relative action? it's supposedly transcendental but still one is not in the state of transcendental if one did not understand if a person does not have teaching instruction if does not know how to integrate that essence then one is not within that within that relative transcendence because one expects something out of that. One expects happiness. One expects some kind of fascination of energy to support us by that. But the ultimate parameter transcends that energy. So there is that difference. But parameter is uncharacterized merit.

[12:43]

Does that relate to what you were saying about the experience of clarity and the experience of emptiness? Because you were talking about merit and that accumulation of merit, and you were talking about relative and ultimate, and one being the experience of clarity and one being the experience of emptiness? Yes. You see, when you practice, this is on the path, when you practice, When you practice on emptiness, when you practice on emptiness, still one does not reach the root of that mother clarity. So even your practice is, you see, you are building on that understanding, you are building on that presence of realization. So that is what gives you the strength to come to that point of the... understanding of the space, openness, and the display freeing comes from the practice of the relative. But ultimately you reach the point of like the first bodhisattva level where you see the parameter state, the transcendent state. This is a practice for now from a beginner stage.

[13:52]

Yes. And then it deepens and deepens. It's become automatic, later on. Later on, once a person has realized that presence, this practice is automatic. As I said, it's like the nature of the sun is light. The nature of the enlightened mind is spontaneous compassion. It's effortless compassion because it transcends all characterizations. So now let's go, I think 12, still about, still 12, let's go out and do a meditation section. Let's take a mission. from an altar and when you relate with the essence, seeing the, you know, Lama Yidam taking the refuge and then reverting the Lama into your heart, in that practice there's a tremendous strength and clarity as to which without that it's not easy to see.

[15:15]

we do what the best, like externally building the pure vision, internally relating it to the sentence of the realization, and then a real, real strong whole will manifest. So, which has been very good, we have did this guru's practice for a long time, it really Very good, yeah. It's been an amazing week, I appreciate it. So this practice, you should not talk with other people. This is very, this is a samaya of this teaching. It cannot be discussed with outside people. This is a very hard subject to teach. What about people, other people in the Sangha? Yeah, you can talk, yes, yes. When the day's retreat is ending, there's some kind of Emptiness. Yes. We were talking about that this morning. It went by so fast.

[16:21]

The rain is a far gone moonlight. It was so cold. One of the great Kadampa teachers said, It was a teaching to one of the students called Tengriwa. The teacher said, Oh, this, the couple, couple, person, two partners came together. the couple staying together is like the cloud of the autumn. Do not fight, old thing we are, he said. It just was so temporal. And he also said, everyone's meeting together is impermanent. It's like the meeting of the market and finally everything. Will there be a book on His Holiness?

[17:28]

Will there be, you know, is anybody planning to publish something on His Holiness? Like, Calvary Boucher has some, there are some books on Calvary Boucher. Yes. On His Holiness, like, I think it would be beautiful if there could be something. Yes, there is a book going to be coming soon. I guess within the next year there should be a book, yes. Photographs and teachings, too. For teachings, there are 24 volumes of teachings by Dujun Rinpoche. It's just that slowly, slowly, it's going to work out. There are some translation projects and things like that. But they made Dujun Rinpoche in its own way to give 22 volumes of thermal teaching. Each one has about 300 pages, 22 volumes of that. They're all pheromones? All, mostly pheromones. Wow. And they're Tibetan. Oh, Tibetan. There's something, slowly, in the translation, He was, because he's Pabasambhava's emanation, so he's discovering his teratons.

[18:36]

You said that he discovered some of the, like our nindra practice is a teraton for now, the 80s? Yes. How many of those did he discover? He discovered how many termas? As I said, 22 volumes. Out of 22 volumes, one is the history of Tibet, which is not considered not dharma, but basically no one, but basically there's some of them, I believe there's some dharmas, and then mostly there are practices, different dhara practice, Vajrasattva practice, meditation, just tremendously dharma teaching. It's incredible, incredible. Were most of his, when he termed it, revelations earth termers? No, mostly it is mind termers, mind termers, and vision termers, and speech termers, yes. And when earth termers, does that include things like finding things in objects?

[19:39]

Yes, that includes that, finding things in objects. And do you know particularly where this nundural practice was found? Oh, this was in Tibet, in Tibet, yes. In the earth? Yes, in the earth, yes. He's teaching earth telling. It's called satir mandru, the earth treasure mandru. Well, look at that, already now turning into city people. Yeah. The city phenomena. Yes. And the mountain phenomena. Transforming. But they are one taste. O my precious Lamb, embodying the essence of all the truths of three columns, please receive me.

These substances and offerings are put in soil by the states of Sita, Metta, Satya, Jyoti, with the supreme abondance which is outward here in secret, the supreme Ones and the Three Ruths, the Guardians of the Precepts and the Guardians of the Dharma in general, and in particular, the Guardian of the Mantra.

I didn't realize that there should be an intention for the food. I didn't realize that there should be an intention for the food. In early times, in the presence of the great Wuhin Chimpo Phra Masaswara, he referred to those individuals who leveraged the practice according to the Dharma. They promise to protect them like a mother does her child. I do want you to pray to these Dharma protector guardians. They will be prostitutes to whatever demons are desired. These Dharma protectors who are best friends and generous may they endeavor to realize all the benefits of the child's contemplation.

Paul is taking this down on purpose. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. My reason ain't enough for you to be watching, so you need to be on your shelves.

What does that mean in a single mandala? The presence of the mind does not have duality, reaching the state, but taking it, conceiving it, blessing it. So that you are able to see your nature. It's very beautiful and one should definitely do a play. You should definitely do this on the 10th day, Bhūramacchī day. It's such a beautiful sub-offering. Short, concise, very profound, everything there. And it's so nice, we can even snap our fingers. It's like an offering. It's like an offering. Yeah. Awesome. Uh-huh, because you are.

[58:56]

I agree that it's a protective role. At the same time, it's a very powerful thing. Padma. [...] Very young, one of his teacher told him to take the conch shell out and blow the conch shell in four directions, both sides of the tapas.

[60:18]

So he told us to take the conch shell and put it in the east. It was very small in the south. And then he used the west to the south. It became a very big city, very long. And then he blew to the north, there was no sound, very weak. And then he blew to the west, there was a very long sound. So when he came inside, his teacher told him, I was checking your atomic connection with the future. So when he was forever, his peace was not much, because previously, he was listening to that. So in this life, you still have that connection. Good that it was, but not as it is. Southern was very strong, and later Bhutan was selling. Bhutan, all the Rathas used to sell it. But to me, it's teaching. And Northern was nothing, because Northern was what? Celestial. In Western, they didn't know, but it's only said.

[61:23]

Now it is the regs. Regs, yes. It's perfect, isn't it? I start. So today, when I was giving the room to the partners, it was very expensive. When I just thought I'd give the room to the partners, there was just lots of beads. next to the dogs, making sound. And that's like this, with a lotus flower. So this is quite a big, very important spread. So it's called what? Padma Mandala. Padma Mandala. How beautiful. It is a very strong being. And then, that's what's very important. They do touch another spot. Profoundly enough. I want to talk to you. [...] Is the world an energy? Yes. Padma Magadala, is the world energy?

[62:24]

The energy of that? Yes. [...] What is this one that's on my left? Hot chocolate. Is this too cold? Yeah, it's okay. I'm going to heat it in the studio. Okay. First of all, I'd like to thank everybody for a really nice retreat, particularly Dharma Raj's Paul and Nancy for opening up their home again to all kinds of energies. Thank you very much.

[63:26]

I'd like to thank Karen Leffler for being the treasurer and registrar. Really the toughest job because you actually see what the balance is in the checking account. I have to deal with that. I'd like to thank Diana and Ann and Tashi for basically completely redoing the whole shrine room and making frames for the tankas and making new shrine cloths and setting up the Lama's throne and cleaning up and doing all that. Peter George for the showers, or the shower. There's more to come on that. Sauna hot tub to come, not. Robert Tobis for doing all kinds of things that nobody else was willing or able to do.

[64:34]

Chris Cummings for spending hours and hours on the Guru Rinpoche statue. He basically repainted the entire Guru Rinpoche statue. did it all with incredible loving care. So thank you for that. I'd like to thank all the retreat participants for really throwing in and really doing a lot of karma yoga to help this retreat come together. We couldn't have done it without you. A great group. A great group. I'd like to thank Tara for being Hershey's attendant and kind of keeping her cool through the whole thing. So everybody that's really put in energy to the retreat and that goes for all the

[65:44]

Passed Llamas all the way back to Zizhou-Moshe, who originally blessed the land. Thank you very much. Now, a few personal recollections. About a year ago, I was driving back from work, Sacramento on I-80, thinking the usual things about all your driving, like, should I stop in Lincoln or Auburn to take a pee? You know, just strings of thoughts, you know, just regular things. And I had this strange thought. I said, this is a year ago. I had a thought that I'm going to run into a young llama and study with this young llama. This is a silly thought. I don't even know a young llama, and I don't even particularly want to study with a young llama. So more resistance there. So I just kind of put that away. And later when Chris Cummings said, gosh, I just met a llama down in the Bay Area.

[66:50]

And Karen and I said, who? And I told you I'm sharing a girl with us. We don't know him. And he said, well, okay, we'll check it out. So we went down to see Roshi in, I think, October, and Roshi came up here for a retreat. a month and a half ago, the weekend, which was very successful. So, it was very good. I'd like to just share a quick dream I had before Rinpoche gave some teaching on the Yonten-shu teachings down in the Bay Area. I had a dream where the Sangha was in this real old house, which was completely flooded. It was kind of like the house here, but also it was bigger. It had some other features too, but basically it was this old house on the property here. It was all flooded up to here.

[67:51]

I went out to a lake with trees that were completely barren and flooded. We were kind of dismantling the house. It was at night. It was very spooky. Robert was helping me take books out of the shelves. We were taking these old kind of books, you know, you blow and the dust comes off the books. We were poking around, cleaning up, and kind of saying goodbye to each other when we found this old kind of rock-haired stupa that was all kind of in a state of disrepair. And so I said, well, let's... And I said, well, this is... kind of sacrilegious, but let's just kind of look in here. Let's see what's in here. And there was something inside the stew, a little kind of incense burner thing. And there was actually little four pieces of incense sticking out sideways.

[68:52]

And they were They were just a little bit lit. I thought, oh, this is bizarre. Gosh, these things last a long time, don't they? Then I went and I said, well, I think Robert was with me still. I went, well, let's clean it up and get out. Anyway, I turned around to do what I was going back to do and then Robert and somebody else goes, Steve, Steve, look! And they'd opened up the stoop and then And I turned around like this with a dream. The whole thing was a rainbow light, really, really vibrant. It wasn't just a dream rainbow light. It was like I woke up, and the room was just light. And maybe I didn't have my mantras straight, but I ended up doing the Chenrezig mantra in my dream and woke up with that. I don't know if it was Guru Rinpoche or not, but that was a nice dream, and I realized then that maybe Rinpoche had some connection with the Sangha up here.

[69:55]

So anyway, this week we asked Rinpoche to be the spiritual director for the Sangha, and we asked him also to give us a name, and Rinpoche had a vision last night, or... vision last night, and the name Padma Mandala Dharma Community has been given to the group here. Hopefully, Rinpoche will give a talk on maybe what that means, the significance. But anyway, we've actually decided to form a Sangha formally with Rinpoche, so this is really auspicious event, I think. Anyway, William Shays promised to teach here on a regular basis. probably later on in the year when we'll be back to get things going, because he only has a lot of commitments for the rest of the summer.

[70:55]

But anyway, keep in touch. There'll be more. So once again, I'd like to thank Rob Shea for taking this responsibility and being willing to be a babysitter for the rest. Please, everyone, make sure we have your address and phone number so we can keep in contact with you. Thank you. Anyway, we heard that Rinche liked the outdoors, and we know that Rinche likes the outdoors. The trash bag. The trash bag. Anyway, we got him a sleeping bag from REI. Well, I'll let him out there. Sorry, this is going to be real mountain yogi now. Mountain yogi. Mountain yogi. Sorry.

[72:15]

It's a down bag and it's good to zero degrees, so I assume we'll be doing some winter retreats. I guess this is a trip to me. Thank you. So I think this time we had a very good retreat and... First we had the Guruji retreat for two, three days. There were tremendous signs during those nights. It was very difficult. The first day was, we all know how it was, tremendous energy, tremendous, there were certain kind of fixated energies and a lot of things. It was so difficult the first day. I guess those who were here, we all witnessed the first day how it was tough. And then after the three days, really the presence of Pema Sambhava's blessings started to manifest. And so we all felt that, as I told, the different dreams.

[73:18]

The first night there was a tremendous fighting and a dream about Shakyamuni Rinpoche coming into my dream. And Shakyamuni Rinpoche told us, one has to, I should guide Samkara practice here. So that was the first night dream when I first came here. And then, actually, it doesn't have to be Thera practice, but what it meant, a very strong practice is needed to pacify the frozen energy. And then the second night I did, the second night, again, there was a lot of fighting. Again, this all shows the display of all the people's practices, their life, showing, they're displaying their inner energy, inner motivation, inner, you know, struggles of life, tremendous fighting. And I dreamt this person coming, this negative force person coming and fighting, finally I came person to person and we were fighting each other and his head was turning into stones and all different kinds of things.

[74:20]

And somehow we were both then going into the, jumping on a tree like monkeys and he and me both And we came to a room, and then it was transforming into all kinds of forms, from a human form to strange forms, and finally transformed into this big, small, demonic force form. And at that stage, I was in, I was, as the manifestation of the, the Atheist, I got the, there was a belt, like a lash. I got that lash, and I I hit that and with it I hit it on the door, make it unconscious. But it was still there. Made it unconscious. Now that was a big success. Made it unconscious. If I was able to not make it unconscious then this retreat wouldn't have been successful. You see? So in that way pacify it. Now able to... there's a subdued, able to subdue that forces.

[75:24]

That also shows that now the total's freeness, each person's practice has to manifest. By the total way the only it can go with that each person the practice, the teachings are given. These kind of teachings are not given very much. These are the teachings of Dzogchen which entirely, you know, open the lama's heart from the deep within and you receive a teaching something which you can find really a real realization in this lifetime. And the practice of Vajrayana, as I said, is to get a realization. One has to develop the compassion, one has to develop the intelligence, one has to really work seriously, relate from the transcendence of characterization, from that presence, not being caught into what kind of form, into what kind of world, into what kind of being in what that looks really to work in the presence the state of the namas nature is the three kaya secretly it's internally is the three rules externally is the three buddha dharma and sangha really to see that as the buddha and manifest oneself the teaching which is given and you can find a realization and this teaching is something extremely extremely performed and

[76:38]

It should not be a talk in an outsider. It is something in a practice. And the tremendous details, the first day on Tuesday I explained on view, the second day on view, the second, first two, three days which we were all here, we all went through with those practices. And something to be kept very pure samaya is important. You see, samaya means really expressing. Now from this time on you are the Vajrayana mandala. You are not ordinary. Whatever introduces you, the energy, the energy is... If you get seduced, get caught to the distraction, however that phenomena will manifest, you will get caught. You are not to get caught now. Your presence of the Dharmakaya nature, the real Buddha is... It's shown to you, you have known that. And that is something now you have to meditate daily. And do the Wondra practice, do the fire practice. And once you have done the fire practice, you may cleanse many different emotions. All these teachings are, you know, coming from thousands of years. Realization from teachers to students, giving those blessings.

[77:42]

And it's coming up till this time towards me and from me. I'm giving it to you. And so it should be something. If you do it, you will certainly find your presence. And so, It's been very, very good. So please do your practice well. And this name, since the group here asked me to be the, so I thought later on, once I come back, I can come maybe I program here Saturday, here early morning the group do the Wundo practice, after that the fire practice. So that is good. Also around here you can do the fire practice. On Wednesday there's a sitting meditation. So I told, I kind of, I will try to make twice a month to give a meditation to the teacher during the evening. So that you can later check when I'm coming to do those two times a month in the evening. And so the name of Padma, Padma is a Padma family.

[78:46]

It's the Chenrezig family, Gurumuchi family, Hayagriva family. And it's also the family of the deity of tremendous healing and magnetizing. So this morning, as I was thinking whether I should give a name of Ratna Mandala or whether I should give a name of Padma Mandala, at that stage, it was quite very quiet. And right when I was giving the Padma Mandala, there was this sound like beasts, tremendous beast sounds came, very much beasts. And that was like when there is a lotus family, all the beasts will come. So instantly, that was external sound. I did a divination and that was a very good sign. So it is a sign that from the future the teaching is going to spread from this place very widely to as many places. Thank you. So everyone, I want to thank Paul and Nancy for your, and I hope everyone, until you get enlightened, the letter of the relative is so beautiful and easy, and everyone stay harmoniously, joyously, and inside, not get caught in any distraction.

[80:06]

Thank you. So now we end this retreat today here. So now let's dedicate the dedication. Page 13. By this merit, may all beings... And that which originates from virtue and promoted wisdom is given to holy bodies, nay, they gain. Satsang with Mooji Un t'espanol, te llanté xinte.

[81:22]

Te llanté xinte. [...] W-E-N-S-O-Y-E-N-S-O-Y-E-N-S-O-Y-E-N Whatever which you have done, you will do likewise. Take it to perfection as Amatabhadra did. May all beings by all means achieve just as the God-disciple in 1, 2, 3 attains his realization. And likewise, Amatabhadra, notice, train myself to follow that. I dedicate all these merits by all the creatures of the three times who have gone beyond. The dedication of merits has been greatly praised. Therefore, these virtues of myself also I must also dedicate to the purpose of perfect action.

[82:25]

Thank you. Thank you. To the tall nightingale in deep blue, come to me. The little secret of soul of Calvary's shell. See what I've come to do, so love don't change. Shouldn't build your block, you'll never match all the show. Love shouldn't change, don't show the nobody. Don't change, don't change, so you won't want to show. May I have the peace of holy laws and practice the Dharma daily and night. I understand the Dharma and practice it in the work of essence. Now that we have crossed the abyss and it's not far off, it's so early I've spent the extra quality of this.

[83:45]

We have not become bored, tired, or tired of engaging with others. While I am doing this impartial service to others, we have invited you to live with them together. Thank you for watching.

[84:50]

So you should, this is very, very, very wonderful. I'm very happy, very happy from deep within that I'm able to, that we all come together and able to hear a teaching is very fortunate. I'm able to give you a teaching is very fortunate. And everything happens in this condition, which is extremely fortunate in this life. And our main thing is our practices. If you do not do the practice, you cannot gain any realization. Buddha said, I've shown you the path of liberation. It's up to you whether you can enlighten or not. So the condition has been very circumtanced this time. Everything we have been able to do in this retreat was very great. And one thing... Very important in our life, never to be sectarian. That's one thing. We should always pray that we never be sectarian. That is one thing. One should pay respect to all the teachings, all the traditions. There's no need to be sectarian, you see. We need to subdue our mind.

[86:28]

The mirror of the mind has to be put inside, not outside. They don't have problem, we have problem. Understand, each one of us has problem, not the outside person has problem. So we've got to deal our own problem, not outside. So from that point, if we keep on looking outside, we will always find a mistake, always criticize. So don't look at that way, just look for yourself. That is a true practitioner, a hidden yogini, a hidden yogini, who does not criticize, who does not look into the business of everybody's life, you know, what is happening, you know, why. We just look into our own life, that is most important. And I really see that as one of the most important and... though one cannot do the practice of every school, but one do, one particular practice, what the teacher said, and within that teaching, the entire Buddha's nature is one. All the Buddha, ultimately, the essence is one. Technically, there are different ways of teaching, but the essence, it is one taste, it is one nature.

[87:33]

There is no need to say, this is wrong, this is right, that is simply our own. mind, which is very distracted. It's a distraction. As I said, wherever you're fixated, it's distraction. So your point is to deserve distraction, not to get distracted. And then it has been a very good retreat. I really want to thank Pauline Nancy. And then Steve has done tremendous energy put into it. And then Steve and Karen. And then Christopher, Chris has really done anything. Everyone, you know. And then everybody, thank you. Thank you. I pray that everyone, we all get enlightened together in this mandala. So then please do your practice well, okay? That is my main message.
