don't have to be in India and my life is life is is life life is is mess For the whole being of its country is life whole being of its country is whole being of its country there is no room to insert any word between the life life and the whole at this point in course you have to live

[01:21]

brave kind of sufferings you have truth truth of life is to live to live is truth of life do you have a question? Ah, the words don't end in laughter, with kind of tension.

[02:28]

If you hate the lecture, of course you don't want to be here. But if you escape from the lecture, which you hate, you create hate. That's what I mean. As Dogen then says, England's law, when you hate, hate it. When you hate the lecture, and don't want to be here, and escape from the lecture. It seems to me that, not it seems to me, but it is true, that you grow, your England's

[03:39]

growth, you create hate. What if you hate the lecture, and you come to the lecture, don't you still have the desire? When you listen, when you apply, when you apply sincerely to yourself, to listen to the lecture, there is no discrimination, no amount of discrimination, whether you hate it or not. That's why, as Tokimune said, cuts. No room, no room to insert any word, any concession. What is the self-relationship between the whole heart and the self, and the self and

[04:45]

the self, and the self and the self? It's the same, the same. It's like, even though it is all right, it is all right, to express it, whole heartedness, by using any word, take another word, Buddha nature, or life force, it's the same. The whole heartedness is to get on your life force, it is called boat, ship. What? The truth of death is to die, that's all.

[05:50]

But when you die, there is no ideas, no concession. What is the truth of death? When you want to know the truth of death, the important point is what you should do right now. That's why the truth of death is to live, the same meaning, the truth of death is to live. That time you can understand the truth of death is, what truth of death is. You can do that? What do you mean? I don't understand. If you understand the truth of death, if you understand the truth of death, or if you can

[06:59]

get taste of the truth of death, you must live, you must be spinning in the domain of the mind. That's all. But while you are thinking, while you are thinking what is the truth of death, in the domain of the mind, without dying, without the death, it looks like chasing after the death, the dry death, like a dry fish. This is not dry death, this is not death like a dry fish. How can you understand the death without, without living, without living in the domain,

[08:10]

without spinning the domain of life, the stage of present? No, as long as you have a head, you have a mind, as long as you have a mind, because you have the affect, affective being of hate, love, something like that. But that's all right, but don't think that all you have to do is to plunge into the hate

[09:28]

which advances in thought. Do you understand? In other words, you think all you have to do is to risk your life, to take care of this hate which advances in thought. You know, this hate is, you know, anyway, something created in thought, by thought. But as mentioned before, even this hate created by thought is part of your life force, means you have to, you have to see, you have to see the depth of hate, depth of hate in terms

[10:35]

of life force, in terms of life force. How do you, how do you see it? Then, as Bukko Kokushi says, shut out of your thought. Tokimune said, how can my thought be shut out of my consciousness? To the Zen. Then, how you feel, how you feel, see how you feel when you throw away, when you do the Zen, throwing overboard, carries to the self, known as rave and song. Some of the day you will find out what this beloved rave and song of yours, of his, is.

[11:56]

So, don't be infatuated with hate. To be infatuated with hate, the pleasure is to be tossed by your thought. Without, without, no, ignoring, ignoring, ignoring your life force. Before the creation of, before creation of your hate or love, life force exists. That's why you can create hate or love. If life force were to exist, you wouldn't, you wouldn't, you wouldn't create hate or love or anything else.

[13:11]

That's why you have to return to life force, throwing overboard any ideas and do the Zen. That time you can see, you can see hate come. This is important. Okay? I don't understand. I don't understand.

[14:25]

Actually, while you are creating hate, it's very difficult to stop hate. The best way is to do the Zen. You know, the hate is not, hate is not something, something that you hate. It's mentioned that even hate is a part of your life force. As long as you have a hate, it's impossible to escape from the hate or love, pleasure, anything else.

[15:36]

The important point is how to accept, how to accept, how to handle your hate, your love. The effort, the effort, you can't stop, you can't stop hate. Even though you think you can't stop hate, by doing anything else, any kind, another thing, what seems to make you happy, what seems to make your hate forget, throw away,

[16:43]

no, no, no, doing dance, or driving, country, I think it doesn't mean to stop hate. I think just for a while you think, you think that hate, hate stops. But actually, you know, it's impossible to stop the basic, basic source, the source of hate. You can't stop the source of hate. Hate is always hate. Hate exists within you. You have to see this. You know, your life, yesterday I said, you know, your life, the spring, the spring of your life is oozing out,

[17:49]

the depth of the earth, from the rock. You have to understand this. Including hate, or pleasure, or anything else. But most people try to spend lots of time to research, to research for the, just before, fronting force, fronting head of the river. But we have, important point is, that we have to know the spring of life force, oozing, being oozing, out of the depth of the earth, from the rock. So you have to see this force, spring of water, spring of life force, including hate, pleasure, any kind of things.

[19:02]

Best way is to present, and it's nothing else. Then the more you practice Zazen, the more you find how strong your hate is. This is pure. Then sometimes the hate make you upset, make you mad. This is pure. Don't stop the Zazen. Whatever happens, you should see, calmly, who you are. I'm in the middle of this tablet.

[20:10]

Each day, and then each day you find the gun there. And you very gently pick it up, and you go through the toilet. And then you even wonder, I wonder who's making me do this. You see, it's Bob. And each day you go, I open your can, and I make the gun in the middle. And each day you gently, do Zazen, you get angry at me while I'm doing that. But you gently pick it up, and you carry it over to see me, maybe. You say, well, this will help you a lot, you know. It's very good. But how about me? How does it make you want to take what I've left me, and put it in my hair, or something? I won't learn, so well, if you do it. That's your diligence.

[21:14]

Some monks ask the same Master. All human beings, all sentient beings, possess Buddha-nature and dying essence. You Buddha-nature, or I Buddha-nature, all sentient beings Buddha-nature. Then, all the same. And some monks say, when I call you down, when I call you down, then Master give a blow. That's all. But it seems that you're saying, instead of to him, if you get angry or something, not to him, because you're very kind and gentle, and all you do is Zazen. Why don't you, if you see me making some trouble in your caverns, why don't you come up and pick me up? In fact, forget about your own Zazen, and, you know, maybe stop doing your,

[22:22]

consider more carefully. I don't want to imitate. I don't want to imitate, you know, the same things, the same as what that Buddha's own Patriarch did. Even though it is a great way of guiding the monks, I don't want to imitate. I am not powerful. How? I'm not powerful. My life is my life. You know, even though I imitate what the Patriarchs did, the same things as the Patriarchs did, it's not my way of guiding the person. I think it makes you, it makes you angry more, hate more.

[23:31]

So, that's, that's why, that's why I have to, the Patriarch is Patriarch. Buddha is Buddha. You are you, okay? But, then, everything is all safe. Everything is safe. But, you have your head, I have my head. Patriarch, their own head. If, if, if the Patriarch put their own head into my head, it's impossible to accept it. If so, if it's possible, my head is, my head is like a base. Which is not living. You know, my, I have my head, you have your head.

[24:33]

Patriarch, their head. Then, how to live? How to live? But, everything is same. Everything is same. You are same, you are Buddha, I am Buddha, I am Buddha. You are Buddha. Patriarch, Buddha. Now, why Patriarch continue, why did Patriarch practice Zazen for long time, long years? If you can imitate, if Patriarch imitate the same, the same things as Buddha did, it's not necessary. It was not necessary to practice hard. Even though all human beings, all sentient beings exist in the same level, based on Buddha nature. Unfortunately, we have our own head.

[25:37]

So, then, we have to take care of this head, you know. This is important. Based on life force, don't upside down. You, if you, if your life upside down, if you make your life upside down, head is down, head is down, your life force is up. Blood is coming down, and it make you mad. So, please take care of this head carefully. This is very important. For, in order to take care of your head, at any cost, we need practice. We need practice. But, whatever happens around you, then you should Zazen. This is, to reveal your life force is very simple.

[26:44]

If you think of what the life force is, it make you complicated. But if you practice, if you put it into practice, this is very simple. That's all. You just Zazen, having a life force, that's enough. But, we don't understand this. But, this is just very simple. But, your head always disturb this life force, the function of this life force. So, in order to take care of your head carefully, we need practice. Okay?
