[01:08]

Here, how many years? 38. 38. Now I am 67 years old. Long time ago, I came to here 31 or 2.

[02:17]

Now it's 67. Time is very fast. I think... Many things when I come to come through that door. My father is doing something. My father... Okay? My father, 68 years old, he... gone.

[03:24]

At the world. Now I'm 67. This year is very important for me. And I now many things think. Sometimes ask me, it's okay? You are okay? Your other end is okay? But I cannot say, yeah.

[04:35]

Yes, I am, I am enough. Sometimes not. Not yet. Hmm. If I'm must go to other country, other world just now. Maybe I think I say just moment. But my father said in the bed upstairs, he said, I'm enough now.

[06:01]

Because my teacher, my master, he I went to 64, 64. And I, he said, my father said, and I still did many things in Japan and came to this country. And many people attach, talk.

[07:08]

He said, I'm very Happy. Happy now. Now I ask Meme. You alright? Yes. I'm very happy. Last year, some monks went to Europe. Italy, France, other countries, German, around Europe, Zen temple visit.

[08:20]

The country beat. Some country people said, , she's okay? She's okay. She said, yeah, okay. Long time ago, . He doesn't like Zazen. But now I change. Maybe he likes Zazen. I remember I talk about Zazen at Tassahara. Somebody asked me, do you like Dazhen?

[09:29]

I'm surprised. I never asked me about Dazhen like or don't like. At the time I said, I don't like so much. My meaning is like, don't like. It is not a problem. Just sit. Because I was surprised and said, I don't like it so much. Somebody said, somewhere in Europe, maybe.

[10:41]

Because Suzuki Shiho is a Tanto. He's used it a long time ago. I don't like Tazen. Now, eight-aged monks, 200 more young people. young student, young monk. Some young monk is very good, but some monk is not so... practice, not like that.

[11:53]

must do, must do. I love many monks. That is my way, my way. I always say thank you. I said, please, please do. When I sit, then, shoes, somebody fix. And I say, Arigato, thank you, Arigato. Tea? Arigato.

[12:56]

Many times I say, thank you, arigato, arigato. This is my way. I don't teach anything about the Buddha way. I just thank you. Sometimes I lecture, but I cannot see a good lecture. I love young people. Monks. That's more than one year, half, six months.

[14:05]

I maybe go out and come back to Lingtsoi. More, one year, half, six months. Now I'm enjoying it. Sometimes one A month, one time a month. Shosan? Shosan.

[15:07]

Christian answer. Young people, young monks ask me many things. Very funny. Very funny. I have a question. Somebody said, I don't like the other so much. And I said, okay. Me too. Somebody said, I'm very foolish man that don't study, could study.

[16:21]

How do you do? As I say, it's good. The wise men, good men, it's not good men. I'm a fool, I'm a bad man, bad practice, it's good. Bumpu. Bumpu. No good. No good people. No good people is good people. You say, I'm full. I'm no good. It's good. If you say, I'm good, I do.

[17:27]

Am I doing it very good? Am I practicing good? No. Young Mank, very lovely. I like very much. Therefore, young monks, like me. Other story. Last year, September, my friend,

[18:27]

Padri. [...] He went to the hospital. Every day, sleep, or wake up, sleep. He took a chance of his neck, like that. He doesn't breathe because he makes a hole.

[19:38]

He cannot say, cannot talk. I heard about him and went to the hospital from A.H.I.G. He wrote paper. Many, many, many. All the time he said, thank you, thank you, thank you. One day I went to hospital. He write. My life, long or short, it's no problem. Now, I will say, deep thank you, thanks, the mind, just only

[20:59]

Arigato. Arigato. And I say, this is you, Satori. You are saved mind. And at the time she did it like that. He can heal but cannot see. Next time I went to a hospital, he doesn't write because no power. Just the mouth. like that.

[22:09]

His son is a good understanding. Always tired of him. When I I went to a hospital. My friend, me, cannot understand, but his son understands. Haki means waterfall. Water. Waterfall. And he said, e, e, e. E means drawing, painting.

[23:20]

Waterfall painting. And I said, you want waterfall? He said, and I draw, but no good. I cannot throw. Very difficult that water fall, just water. Water fall is white. Paper is white. And my friend said, you draw a rock. Rock? Just rock. Maybe this is that. Become waterfall.

[24:26]

Yeah. No good. And I said, I come out to the temple, and I draw and come. The next day, I go, rent, and I go to a painting. Yeah, almost same, almost, okay. His soul, your job? Arigato, thank you, thank you. And I say, waterfall,

[25:34]

You're like a waterfall. It's like you. Your understanding, waterfall meaning, understand. Waterfall is many, many, many waters drop. Many. Each water ball, drop, shining. And shine to other water. There are four. Bright, one white, waterfall.

[26:40]

Moment, moment, come down, go down, down, down, down. And I say, you going, going, going down, down. Not only you, Me, your son, your friend, everything, everything at the same time, going, going, going. I won't say this thing. He said, he... This is Yu Satori. Kegong. Kegong Sutra.

[27:48]

Kegong. Flower? Flower ornament. It is a That's a sutra's world. And he went to, he go on two years, two days later. I come back to A.H. And my wife called me. He called. But I didn't go to funeral service.

[28:58]

My funeral, [...] Already finished. He's big drinker. Big sake. He likes very much sake. Sometimes he's sitting there. Maybe he's sitting here.

[30:03]

When I think about, remember about him, I think sitting here. What kind of questions do the monks at AEG ask you in Shotsam?

[31:09]

Many. Shosan and Dokusan. Dokusan is like... Dokusan. Would you like Daigaku-san to translate? Oh, Daigaku-san. I'm like a counselor. I'm like a counselor. Dooku-san, there are frequently questions that come out of human life.

[32:16]

Dooku-san... Dooku-san is... Dooku-san is... Dooku-san is... Do-san means to bring your practice to the teacher. He is not there just to tell you what to do. Is that right? Eh? Eh... [...]

[33:39]

When somebody comes. Very beautiful. Girl. There you go. There you go. Some of the monks have lots of delusional thoughts, and they want to know what to do about them. And I say, you can't do anything about it. He's trying to do something for me to do.

[34:42]

It's very difficult for me to do something about... Well, we can't be done. Well, so it's very difficult for me to do something about... Well, we can't be done. Well... Well, so... [...] Well, There are lots of thoughts arising during the Zazen. We shouldn't say, or we can't say that these are delusional. Well... Delusions are thoughts that are supposed to prevent us from doing Zazen, or we could say thoughts that distract us from doing correct Zazen.

[36:08]

He did a little bit of crime, and I'm listening. Well, that should happen. Crime was a crime. [...] There are times when people are punished and they become better people, and times when people are punished and they become foolish.

[38:04]

I think it's best if people can understand what is the problem. So sometimes a person might kill two people or three people. that person who has killed somebody is also killed.

[39:22]

So in that case, then four or more people could be killed. 正しい座禅は座禅をしていること そのことが喜びである

[40:36]

If the sound gives joy and peace, that's correct. But if you're sleeping, when you sleep, I don't think you can really call that peace. He said to me, he said to me,

[42:03]

When you breathe in, breathe in completely. All the way to your breath is full. And when you breathe out, breathe out completely. Sometimes, when I was talking, I had a wonderful feeling, and a wonderful feeling. I thought it was fun. But I thought it was fun. [...] Sometimes it happens when you're sitting there.

[43:15]

You see some enjoyable or enjoyable landscape, scenery. But if it's too enjoyable, what will happen is you'll want to see it again. And if there's something that you're seeking for inside there, then that can be a problem. So, just breathe, breathe, breathe, breathe. That's what I want to do. I want to say something like that I want to do. So just breathe in and out completely without seeking for something else.

[44:40]

I think that's the way to sit most peaceful, to be just at peace with your environment. If you are seeking for something, I don't think you can really sit in a settled way. The Japanese and the American Japanese are the same. Same. Even before Zen came from the East, you already knew how to do the house.

[46:12]

That's what people come and want to do. That's why you come here and use a Zen. So there are two lights. If there are two lights, then that light and lens are working together. Same like this. Same. You're sitting like this, same. Up the head, no?

[47:16]

Like this. Like that? No. Like a dog. No, that's the same. Sometimes people say to me, someday I will go to your temple, but that doesn't come. It doesn't come. Is hope being inherently futuristic

[48:57]

I love you. Thank you. Thank you. If you want to do it, you can't do it. If you want to do it, you can't do it. If you want to do it, you can't do it. We have to seek the way.

[50:01]

This is the great practice on which practice is based. It almost doesn't need to be said. No need to say. But we will become a good feeling. Nevertheless, sometimes it happens when we're sitting that we're looking for a good feeling. We're looking to feel good through doing Zazen. And this kind of seeking mind comes in. This is not corrupt Zazen. So do Zazen without liking it and without disliking it?

[51:18]

How do you distinguish good? [...] The standard for the way we judge it, at least within the practice, is how, in terms of the way, of the way. The good thing is the right thing. The Buddha aroused the aspiration to seek the way, then he practiced, then he awakened, there was enlightenment, and then he entered nirvana.

[52:48]

So in that, shall we say, process, those things that are distracted, Those things that take us away from the way, those are better. Those things that help us on that path, we say, I'm good. This is something that we know well ourselves. This is not something that has to do with other people. It has to do with yourself. And we know whether it's good or bad. Yeah. We know. Already. One more question. One more question. Yes. We haven't worked here. What is that you're holding? That's it.

[53:49]

It was who it was? It was a person who asked me to ask me, A monk asked Josh, he pointed out the cup, something like the cup in the search box. I was out calling that cop.

[54:51]

And Joshua kicked it over. This is what it is. Don't think about it too much. Thank you.
