[Laughter]

[Music]

traditionally they celebrate the

Buddha's miracle performance unmute

celebrate the Buddha's miracles for the

end of his life perform two weeks of

miracles that were very famous and

usually he didn't show miracles he

considered a bad thing to do because

then people would run a few to try to

get you to do miracles it's kind of

learning how to how to enjoy the miracle

of life suffering life but in this

particular two weeks he he was being

chased around by some some rival

teachers who were trying to claim the

data what was going on in there Rob to

out to show who they challenged them to

a contest of miracles and he he accepted

the challenge five times in five cities

in the major
countries of India at that time China

was the open air and so he and then he

ran away he didn't go to the contest you

know the field that was prepared by the

king of the particular Kingdom and he

ran away five times and disciples were

upset because he said wouldn't you no

more miracles than they do and I keep

running away well he said I know the

right time and you can't believe he so

then finally on the 6th place up to the

sixth challenge

they became more and more arrogant his

rival teacher and they chased him and

finally they caught him the travesty

place called Charles T man to it I came

right into it and then the king they are

prepared to feel and again the Buddha

accepted the challenge and then this

time he showed up and the people had

followed from only other cities because

they were so amazed that Buddha was

running away from the rival teachers

they really wanted to see them the

showdown you know the shootout so then

for two weeks he did miracles and until

the full moon day of the first fortnight

of the Lunar New Year and all of his

miracles had to do with teaching but he

did it with special effects you could

say my favorite one is to his father

because the father was very disappointed

that Buddha hadn't conquered the world

you know and then grow up to be a monk

and he thought Buddhahood have conquered

the whole world because that was what

was predicted when the Buddha was born

by the wise man so the father was very

happy but it was a very honorable path

but he still had a little inkling like

where I did my son be a king and conquer

the world for me you know like fathers

can get my dedicate get mother wrong so

then the Buddha said well dad I know I

didn't conquer the world I'm sorry so

good take a look at this and then true

Buddhist came out of his heart and

their hearts to prudence and then -

butters - butters - buzz my dad had

suddenly thank everyone presents or

Laguna every atom in their own bodies

and in the ground of the trees and they

were read the whole universe was full

with Buddha atoms like himself so he

said well I'm sorry dad I didn't conquer

the world but I'm sort of all over it

anyway then the Tibetans celebrate that

every from since 1409 for the well

anyway that's the great purpose it's

called the great poem triple prayer

festival on some bad news at 15 days - a

great miracle day and so since we keep

miracles nowadays to save us from

various predatory but you didn't see

next year that's right so anyway that's

the context and coming from the city

with quarter traffic so you know I

thought I asked him I said in this next

teaching you won't need to do anything

so I can also be just be quiet you know

I love you I just want to say those of

you how many of you already know about

utopia and then go go so quite a few you

know good so I can see maganlal

fulfilling the prayer of Utah Kyoto

gumbo that he want to be a reign of

healing that with falling little drops

on every suffering being in the universe

and if any witness

in the world you would think with all

the misery in the citizen we're looking

at the virus now how terrible

coronavirus you would think that he

wasn't fulfilling down in California so

he's really and he has took many many

good students and maybe some of you are

but Christian over there is very well

taught she has a license in from Oregon

to do some healing and she knows a lot

of stuff Tibetan healing in America is

not yet licensed because they don't know

about it but acupuncture is and various

other things they don't very similar and

Tibetan medicine one of our jobs the

reason that vet house received a gift of

this property Medlen and how developing

it as a healing center is that I had

that the job of Tibet house asked mr.

Dhamma asked us to do our mission is to

preserve Tibetan culture and I was quite

uneasy when being given that mission and

then I had this dream and I show that

because I had when I was a monk I had to

study timid medicine with one of the

great doctors in Dharamsala India who

rebounded the medical center there and

but I never really practiced but I

really respect the tradition and in the

dream I realized I've been told to do

that by my teachers I had gotten to love

the tradition although I'm not a master

over the roller but I got to love it and

it's respected enormously and I'm not a

big respecter of industrial medicine

charcoal which is a 1 there currently

Bernie is attempting to pay for so I saw

that if when the world realizes how

great that medicine is then Tibetans

will learn about - but a lot of Tibetans

will learn about that medicine and they

will teach that and offer it to people

as a livelihood you know and as a

compassionate a wonderful thing to do so

that way they will respect their own to

rediscover their own culture which is

very endangered because Chinese are

really trying to destroy it have been

for 60 years and I read at the concert

last night the other night because it

was sent to me recently in this piece of

news and so I was so distressed with the

read where they have a new plan a new

campaign into bed called 1 million

policemen in 10 million homes so like

with the wiggler's the Chinese Communist

Party in order to once again trying to

steamroll Tibetans her own sense of

Tibetan identity or putting a Chinese

cop propaganda cop in every Tibetan

house anyway that's the slogan that the

commons party both in Lhasa in Tibet is

talking about and it's just terrible you

know like that what they do to the

Uighurs but they're boys fun you know

they just don't want spirituality they

don't want ethnic cultural identity even

though their Constitution says they're

supposed to protect it and it's terrible

so really in Tibetan culture is right

here Organa and there's an exile no but

yeah the others have to hide it deep in

their heart it doesn't

the Chinese have not succeeded with

their cultural revolutions many of them

have done over 60 70 years and they

haven't succeeded still those Tibetans

keep it in their heart their love of the

Dharma their own mana Burma home their

faith in the Dalai Lama and other great

moments and so they won't succeed but

it's just a military torture session

that's really terrible so because of

that we have met Lama then one thing we

liked in that law was added

and then again I showed up he did geo

men see and he knows where the Naga is

dragon serpent underwater being and the

white tiger the gotcha

garuda bird and the turtle we gon see

here and so we really want to capture

get LA and we can so he comes so that's

my that will become a long story

professor yeah

the reality of life is that after many

years of in this life I have a slogan

that what they did which is most simple

formulation that Buddhism is realism and

what that means is but what buddha's

revolution of the mind and of the world

culture etc what it was all from was his

discovery of Nirvana

and Nirvana is not some secondary

reality that's somewhere off planet that

you may take really hard or you

lobotomize yourself where you don't

paint or you do whatever and then you

leave and you go there to Nirvana that's

not what I did now there's some version

that makes it seem like that or less

people think that because people have a

very escapist tendency and they think

the kind of there must be some better

place than this and and but no Buddhist

discover is that this is near mother

this is reality is nirvana

it's right here right we already you're

on there Bonnie we're all Nirvana but

what's the problem why don't we having

more fun because we don't know that we

think it's some terrible difficult

situation and we are this long person

inside our skin and we do have friends

any case when someone loves arson cetera

and and the whole universe doesn't much

care about us and so we are frightened

and we're struggling with reality and we

have slogans in English like ignorance

is bliss because that's that's implying

that the world is bad you know that what

is it nature red in tooth and claw or

look at modern sense you know the

classical world filled with Lyme disease

ticks

but if we really understood we wouldn't

be skip my booty we still win it might

turn the BIOS public we would not be

scared of them we would be defeated

because we realize the reality is is

what this is and it's good and therefore

ignorance is suffering and wisdom or

knowing reality is place and so Tibetan

medicine for example is very realistic

and then of all the versions of

discovering reality osceola which means

out in sanskrit word means supreme so

the supreme yoga means joining your life

to reality so that you can without okay

[Music]

so that's special Nadi and from yoga and

then mostly when we use the word of yoga

is more mental yoga more mental aspects

but before we really start a TFA itself

there's a preliminary practice it's

called the training of three doors the

door of the body door of the speech

door of the mind and so we are all

different type of people some people are

more sporty who are 40 people we need to

body training so it's interesting our

mind you know to reach the mind and to

understand the ultimate nature of mind

or the truth of mind but using mind to

understand mind itself sometimes it take

too much time like we try to use our

eyes and look eyes themselves our eyes

can see everything but they can't see

themselves you know we have to use a

mirror watch your reflection something

like that so that's why am i using mind

to finding mind it takes takes time you

know especially for lazy people and so

therefore instead of instead of trying

to understand the using mind to

understand mind we use our body so we do

physical exercises and that can help us

to to access our mind in a easy way and

then other type of group the speech in

group which means people like to

challenge you know singing and doing who

like to sing singing group

[Music]

[Applause]

then we singing

we call it the speech speech it's

connected with energy and then in this

case is better this group people focus

more on chanting you know singing mantra

chanting doing prayers and that can help

us to to reach the mental mental level

so using the body access the mind or

using the speech or energy access the

mind and using the mine access the mind

so there are three ways so that's why

you guys should know what is your title

okay what is your type so if you don't

know you are type don't worry then I'm

free to torture you

so from tomorrow you try to tell me okay

what is your title and you know we have

emotions and most of case we don't know

how to handle our emotions right so some

people they want to express their

emotions through their body maybe a

smash the glass punched the wall banging

the door or the good ones do and so one

way of humans they express emotions in

through physical body so that's one type

and then other type is gets you know

ready

the ones who that's singing the ones who

shouting and screaming shouting shouting

group group singing okay so do you

[Music]

and then there's another group is not

expressing any thinking you know all

only emotionals

kind of repressed or controlled you know

so not expressing much and then we use

if there are those people sometimes can

be intellectual people you know they are

smart and this and that so somehow the

stay with their thoughts and emotions

keep inside so that's the mental group

and of course it's not always good to

express our emotions basically or

mentally but also is not good to all too

much you know that can be very harmful

psychologically and physically so

therefore to find the balance we need to

[Music]

so that's why before you practice yoga

or meditate whatever spiritual part it's

very important to know yourself a little

bit more you know at least you know what

is your type what is your nature

so in Tibetan medicine we talked about

element types you know the one type of

person we call it the weight the type of

people you know many people what does it

mean when a people when the people means

of booty right Moody and sensitivity

emotional and mainly personal here 21:20

ones you guys need to receive massage

the bestest spice here Wendy ones and

then that's a window type and when type

of people they have also sleeping

disorders sleeping issues and so be and

are difficult to follow me waking up

early and so specially made now we are

in a flu season it's very important to

get enough sleep because sleep is the

best way to boost our immune system but

many windy people they have issues

because they're too much wind in their

head you know when disorders and then

the next group of people they're fire

people buy a pipe fire in nature you

know who are fired nature angry ones

angry ones and so the fire type of

people probably is marketable yes that's

that's called fire yeah next one is

water and the Earth's people together

water type on earth people that's the

slow ones

sleepy ones they also kind

you know for a couple one is water and

one is fire is good you know you can

province each other but if they are both

fire and burn their home everything it's

important with our nature and then we

really find out the balance okay so if

you know your nature then you know why

you are normal person we always self

blaming it's a very common thing you

know when once we start to doom

ourselves then we already see something

wrong ourselves right I think that that

that's a big inner demon you know it's

an interim agreement it really blocks

ourself ourselves and so the more you

see your own nature and then the more

you're confident with yourself the more

you stop blaming yourself right you know

some people some people originally like

their potatoes potato you just need to

know your potato you don't have to be a

but if you try to be a carrot it doesn't

work right

like like in a beautiful garden natural

biodiversity and so many herbs many

plants many veggies all growing together

actually our human societies like that

right and one country where many

different type of people once it is the

same one village is the same even one

family you know but father is the fire

type and mother is already too tired and

very the earth type and the Sun is a

water type so you know they are all

different and then everybody thing is

different the way everybody functions

different to it but if they understand

their own nature and they respect each

other that there's no problem actually

this diversity brings the harmony and

bring the balance right so that's why I

think in our spiritual tradition to know

that part is a very important foundation

you know to know yourself you are a

physical person or your world own person

or your mental person right over you in

nature if you are windy you are probably

your earthly you know what bring you

whatever you know what your people

normally they're calm and relaxed and

connective they like to connect to

people they are good for socializing you

know water goes everywhere and any other

drop of water to reconnect everywhere

right water is connected and they're

gentle and then the earth people are

stable stable people in unstable people

sometimes the Trece people you know some

you are all the friends your friendship

is always kind of stable you know even

so yeah that's right it's very important

you know that's had many from tomorrow

we'll do a little bit apology but you

should think about yourself okay

I can't have a human apology because I

don't know you well yet who really know

you well yourself that's why we try to

analyze when it's very easy you just

imagine the wind right the wind of the

nature of women any term can blow right

it can go anywhere

it's always sensitive so it's it's the

base of the motion you're moving you

need to you know you're always moving

doing something you don't know what

you're doing but you're kind of time and

so you see it you just think of the wind

in the nature as the father of medicine

he said we don't need to learn new

things we only need to discover what we

have already what we know already

yeah that's true

you know when I talk about elements

years ago this is a it's a Tibetan -

it's a good idea but we are we are the

production of five elements right we're

mental five elements ourselves our metal

five elements and then and the five

elements you know some of us we have

more wind some of us we have more fire

some of us we have more water Somoza

we're more earth so that make us

different right and then also some of us

we have two elements together you know

two elements together and when the wind

and fire it's a dangerous combination

but there are many people together and I

see that dangerous we only need to know

okay so yeah five elements we just think

of the water you know what is the nature

of the water dancing when it's very cold

it can become frozen

once it's a frozen is called the ice

it's solid but then the ice cannot

become a watcher immediately it takes

time yes and sometimes you have a

problem with the relationship or

whatever you freeze you know you are

feeling with that person but you cannot

lose it immediately one day one day or

one overnight you know next day you are

fine so it takes time that you rebuild

your connection right lose you are

feeling emotions

when the ones you know and the morning

you are in love and evening and then one

day can change about strong window by

going that soft one and this Center and

then the person nature is whatever you

do probably you do everything slowly

slowly and stable you know and also

maybe for you nature that not so easy to

change you know you are all the habits

against them some people we call it

open-minded you know it was open-minded

you know what nature is the open-minded

ones that have women's when you can go

anywhere with and then the fire ones and

they are thinking there and election we

think they analyze they think okay

something safe something good and then

they take it so when people they don't

think is

it's called open-minded people and so

water ones they're gentle connectives so

once they're connected to their stable

but we have to be careful once is frozen

it takes time energy we maintain and

then the fire ones the first one it

takes time for building everything once

everything you have it's kind of very

stable but some people do like that work

the study sings very precisely whatever

job they - you know everything they have

that nature and maybe sometimes we call

the further thing people and people can

get angry easily earthquake tsunami fire

people with the angry is called what

volcano were coming so what is your

nature who is wind

many ladies they said well yeah that's

good and then fire earth I can wind and

fire together whatever anniversa

together okay follow them together

[Music]

okay so then emotionally according to

Buddhism there's we we call it the three

mental poisons sometimes is called the

fundamental poisons because of five

elements and then to summarize the one

is called the three mental poisons so I

think so many mental poisons so first

mental poison is called the ignorance or

confusion second one is attachment or

desire and then third one is called the

anger or hatred okay can you think of

one of your problem just just your

personal problem okay are you thinking

one only one I know you have never been

just think one problem are you thinking

one very recent one thinking are you

thinking one problem okay as pure stuff

that problem is is it something

connected with

attachment maybe you want to have one

you want you to do something you

couldn't do if you want to have

something you couldn't have it it's more

connected with desire or attachment you

know like somebody really want to get

married and son you want so much you

push so much then it doesn't happen that

then you're upset just say example okay

so then if you have kind of stress like

that's kind of more based on desire

right desire desire for attachment yes

yes what's your problem okay so if it's

not so much to do with desire attachment

maybe its endurance because of something

you are just angry and that anger to

make you unhappy you know and sometimes

dinner today because our emotions are so

complex and we don't know how emotions

are manifesting and many cases and your

manifest as a stress you know the one we

call stress spread the feeling something

like a pressure in the chest stops you

running up and down something that you

suet and discomfort you know that's a

anger manifesting as a stress so maybe

you don't say it anger you know you say

it's a stretch but in reality is anger

is manifesting as a stress okay so is

your problem connected with that

and here we're coming later

give me some time here also is ya there

one fear is connected with desire

another fear there different type of

fears ok different type of beer and you

know it's interesting the fear fear is

the other side of the hope of

expectation when you have a hope to

achieve some second thing you ever cared

reduce that so hope when the fear here

kind of connected together in Tibetan

tradition I think if that makes sense

and then yeah fear married we'll talk

next base just let me finish my three

emotions okay okay so you think your

problem is not connected with desire or

attachment or you are not feeling anger

or hatred so you are having a problem

and you are not feeling good with that

unhappy about that if you don't know

what it is then is called even runs

confusion okay you see it's very

interesting everyday when you have a

problem you know mentally you have a

problem you try to analyze you try to

analyze and to

know

okay it's very interesting everyday when

you have any problems you know when

you're upset when you're unhappy you try

to analyze is connected with which which

poison to instant of which mental poison

and then the most important thing is we

call it a mental poison but they are not

a bad person we're not saying they are

very negativity about poisons are just

important but poison also means medicine

so it depends on us how to reuse it we

understand he's talking about the fear

theories of poison but sometimes fear is

very useful because of fear we have

better motivation because of fear we can

do the job better because of fear we can

do many things it's not all fear

something very bad we have to avoid it

same way also anger right anger has a

good part and there's a bad part so

that's why it's so poison and today and

our time it's very easy to understand

this right poison is a medicine medicine

is poison think of any type of

antibiotics anti biotics they are all

poisons but they're all poisons which

one has no side effect everybody has

that effect right so some antibiotics

okay it can kill few types of bacterias

in a few types if you check the the

benefit of one antibiotic there are five

benefits it means it kills the five

types of bacterias but then if you read

the set effect

the severe ones the common ones and the

rare ones you know you can read the 50

of them so then the question is is a

medicine or it is the person it's above

right it's about medicine is the poison

poison to the medicine and in ancient

Western culture we have this review it's

called the alchemy right outcome

expertise and our time is it's becoming

chemistry you know and then it will be

no poison is a medicine and medicine is

a poison so that's why in the Buddhist

tradition exactly the same thing we call

it the three mental poisons and then

some people they try so hard our mental

poisons I need to free from poisons we

cannot free ourselves for isms

but we can use them better and a better

way the poison can be used as a medicine

though when the poison will we know how

to use them they are medicines so that's

why in Sanskrit non-pom is called a

pleasure

you know pleasure is afflicted mental of

negative emotions people say I like

addictive emotion was addictive emotions

but once we know how to work with

addictive emotions pleasures they become

jhana and the wisdom intelligence in

professor was say samsara and Nirvana

their coexistence they are both front of

us so it's up to us we seen some surah

or we see the Nirvana and same way like

professor always mentions suffering and

release joy is

coexistence so if we see things as

suffering and pain it is a pain and

suffering you know we can film it with

our mind with our emotions but if you

look in another angle it's not pain is

not suffering it's a joy and please did

you understand so that's why that I

think that part of Buddhism is very

so now we call it the yoga and yoga

means achieving our natural state

original state you know so I call it our

own organic state if it's a potato for

us also the same we can have many

different layers but inside of us we all

have organic outside and that's original

our stuff so yoga means to reach that

you know original okay so three poisons

and you know sometimes now I tell you

some problems with Buddhism and we have

so many philosophies but sometimes we

don't use this in the very very light

you can wait like Buddhist philosophies

thousands of thousands of takes you know

how we can elevate this in our daily

life and especially like important time

you know everybody works for March and

so stressed and they said that so we

don't have many tips so that's why

sometimes Buddhism is becoming too much

philosophy and theory and much becoming

something practical useful you know in

our daily life right and that's one

thing and that's why I think like Buddha

the world of Buddha would there two

words Buddha right Buddha in Sanskrit

about that one means wake up one means

wake up one is to get everything Tibetan

translation of Buddha is very good

towards some Jay some means wake up wake

up from confusion wake up from

depression wake up from pain wake up

from suffering wake up from

fusion dancer wake up wake up from all

your mess and troubles and traumas and

dramas you are here and banda

everything's perfect professor is

sitting front of you what is the problem

the moment you really wake up this is

called life this fresh the moment is

called life if you really wake up this

fresh the moment you are free from all

problems but when you don't wake up and

then we get lost in our traumas and

dramas then we are not here we're

somewhere else but we are not here maybe

we we got stuck at the past or maybe

we're running in future the answer so

that's why some tibetan word son needed

some means completely wake up it means

completely coming out from the confusion

coming back from the getting lost

they're insane visa Germans all

committees arise all qualities are right

once we wake up you know for example if

you are having a bad dream

but nightmare bathroom what is the best

solution so wake up is the best solution

and that two different way to wake up to

in center two different way so first

waking up is you are having a bathroom

and then physically you wake up Islam I

am so happy it was a dream like I'm not

like somebody chasing after me I was

almost get killed now it's a dream you

know I'm so happy right you wake up and

the moment you wake up it means also

coming out from the confusion and even

ruins and then we are free from the

problems

and once you're afraid from the problems

and then all your knowledge other

qualities arises because then you don't

get stuck with the problems so this is

the normal way to waking up then there's

another way to waking up in the brain

when you are having a bad nightmare that

is called and lucid dreaming you real

life you are dreaming

follow it's not somebody you know is I

don't need to run away anymore it's my

dream somebody chasing after me oh it's

just my dream if my mind when you become

lucid the guy does the scary what the

powerful chasing after you just

disappear or becoming very weak all you

think I'm losing in the dream or

physically you wake up both ways okay

it's called the good-good means waking

up and then once you wake up and then

you okay so that's called the Buddha and

in the every moment of our life we can

do Buddha and especially we are facing

problems when we have many issues you

know if we use the power of our mind we

can just wake up from those problems the

incident like so many you know when you

have smuggled problems you think there

are problems once you have a bigger

problem

these problems are not problems anymore

bigger ones are real problems and then

another bigger one is all that's a

problem

so actually the problem is it's a mental

of the field it's a mental domain and

that's why there is a bomb is a chance

to wake up from our problems right so

that's I think the main teaching of

Buddha so many people Buddha is just in

the world of the

okay the word of the buddha so that's

why i am always saying buddhism can't be

a philosophy can be a theory but we have

to attend we have to wake up from our

theories from our beliefs from our

philosophy the ensign otherwise we get

stuck with theories or philosophies you

know we get lost with them we can get

lost in to words and same way buddhism

you can be the rituals you know the

practices and symbolic things and after

offering all these things we can see

Buddhism as a religion face and believe

you know whatever you call the agent

these things buddhism we can have all

these things too but most essential

thing is at end with the religious

concept we have to make a Buddha it

means we have to wake up from all these

religious concepts to answer the same

way Buddhism can be assigned or

psychology or whatever at end and end we

always have to wake up so that's why I

think we really have to use Buddhism as

something very very practical and so

next page you guys will learn about at

the Yoga Yoga is a very hot you say

direct or you know very easy to use any

moment of your life and then the other

part of the the Buddhist teachings and

today specially when we talk about here

general Buddhism meditation

we are kind of lack of using our body

you know right so when we hear the

Buddhism is owned almost like equal

Buddhism is equal to intellectual mental

and we talk so much about emotions and

mind and this and that but body part is

little bit ignored right if you talk

about the schemata meditation if you

talk about to be personal meditation you

know and schemata says you may have to

learn how to sit or if we work it is it

okay you have to walk mindfully and then

you have to work like more or less like

a armies you know one two and so that's

why there are many cases I think the

body part is you will see its kind of

little bit you know

even over I think today's special e and

the medical point of view

sedentary is the biggest issue in our

lifestyle you know we are all sitting

and not like all times all times

everybody's busy working you know

traveling everybody's so busy all times

but today we are all sitting we

traveling by sitting right that's what

I'm traveling by car traveling with

isn't that so we are really lack of the

body movement and that's why we need

okay

right buddy okay tremaine's

project so Pantera means body protection

and same way like mantra man means mind

and promised protection so mantra is

vine protection that's why I'm

translating mantra is older

psychotherapy my man means the mind para

protection means therapy

so psychotherapy humans all the the

psychotherapy he opens the channels as I

was saying earlier we use our voice you

know we use our speech and then speech

is becoming energy and this energy can

unblock our channels our channels and

worked and our energy will be balanced

and mentally we're fine the answer so

this is the reason why we have many

different kinds of mantras so they are

all you know the different mantras we

have different goals different

functions everybody knows online if I'm

you know six syllables mantra all means

a universal sound money means the dual

payments the vatos locos individual

compliments a blessing but lot of in the

june and so it's the quality of

our human heart is our bodies and that

jewel is our heart and this jewel is

made of love compassion joy and

equanimity so if you recite of man upon

a moment about me home it's like you're

feeling your heart with love and

compassion joy and equanimity probably

that's what we're looking for in our

life right that's that's what all we we

are looking for we're searching and we

think something externally coming

externally we don't get it so that's why

this mantras is just a sit and chant the

mantra on multiple menu we see our body

as a flower we see our heart is a jewel

it's called the wish-fulfilling jewel

The Jewel of love compassion joy and

equanimity right so you see it's the

best psychotherapy even said we can skip

all with our

[Music]

you try to find that closer one is more

expensive you know there's always issues

so that's why I think sometimes

something wrong with the whole system

you know psychotherapy system sorry

maybe there are some psychologist

psychiatrist I'm just I'm just saying

what I think if somebody can do really a

retreat you know I will treat seven days

of reciting you know that mantra opens

your heart chakra you feel the love the

innocent you feel you love yourself

that's the most important thing but we

have Mr baking others to love us that's

the most stupid thing when we expect

somebody else to love us really want to

be loved

first you love yourself the more you

love yourself

others will love you too the understand

so that's why you've built a religion

you built up love and compassion and joy

that's called on mani padme six

syllables right six syllables showing

four essential meaning of our human life

so if you do one week of retreat just a

reciting on wonderful now I think we

should do a retreat okay

but seven days will retreat than one

year are you okay we call it a weekly

retreat and then all this you're feeling

unloved unwanted ransom loneliness

sadness depression everything will

disappear others issues and we ask other

[Music]

people to cover the window all right so

problem is self generation but solution

and how soft - okay

mantra is the psychotherapy and then

Pantera is kind of physiotherapy the

innocent tension tantalize the

physiotherapy and that's why Yoga is a

part of Tantra to some of the yogi

expect some of the yogic exercises

helping us you know to to God you say to

fix our physical problems okay so please

remember that work when we say

it means a physiotherapy okay it means a

body therapy to fix the body's problems

and that's what tomorrow morning please

come here and at seven o'clock and

crystianna is going to teach us the

nature there's a very easy and practical

Tibetan yoga and my glucose to come up

and very happy about this my book

everybody can do this yoga do you

understand it's very simple one an

edge-on is like the exercises of

different part of our body can you move

your head that kind of front like this

everybody do it please okay now you turn

right side straight straight straight

straight and then the other side

now we turn to our head if you have neck

problems

yourself be gentle switch

okay now move your shoulder

just to do like this shake your shoulder

okay

turn your baby maybe some of you could

have any practitioner don't us don't let

us make wake up

I want you 24 hours now

[Music]

like this foot sir yeah over mom

yeah that's good Buster Buster spent in

your box okay stand up and sit back

seven times hold your breath hold your

breath

heating system some people you see if

you get close to it that you know when

you say hands front entry to massage you

know just a fixed time permits the body

therapy yoga a time to if you go for a

long walk

I think it's a time to answer because

you are using your body and that

stimulates you know improve your

circulation

[Music]

yes ma'am so that's why it's very

important to find Tantra in our daily

life it's very important to do mantra in

our daily life and it's very important

to do Buddha in every moment of our life

so those are the essential things and

then especially regarding the three

mental poisons in Tibetan tradition we

have three main yoga's first two Yoga is

called the Maha yoga that's antidote or

anger ransom fire type of people

you practice animal the professionals

here anyone yeah well pretend we didn't

practice yeah okay yeah we call it a

Needham practice beauty practice - okay

he practiced and it is a very very

effective obviously meditation if you

really feel how do you say if you suffer

from anger or if you think you are like

a short tempered person and many people

are confused if you don't know what to

do you know if you express your anger

then maybe you can harm somebody else if

you don't express then you are softened

so it's something difficult to to handle

and if you always request your anger and

it can cause a heart attack but it can

increase your blood pressure and it can

even cause a stroke and there can cause

stroke can you imagine so that's why as

I said it's a poison it's a dangerous

but if we know how to use it if we know

how to deal with it

it can become a good medicine okay so

that's why this Maha yoga practice Maha

yoga practice all mental levels but you

imagine yourself as Russell Buddha there

are three types of with a peaceful and

wrathful of peaceful your translation is

or you say I said fierce yeah my dad

fears

[Music]

angry I always tell people I always tell

them you are angry

did you take selfie with you I am to

miss all their money devil is not there

everyone is here so that part of

practice Maha Maha yoga is a very very

nice practice and because ancient tongue

is like a it's a meditation but like a

theater you know person so practitioners

artists or actors and actress the

innocent so that's why you read the text

and you imagine yourself is like that so

that's why cartoon younggook it's called

the nine expressions can imagine in one

face you have nine in expressions

you know there's expression of love

compassion and energy power scary

altogether the answer so we have to

train ourselves how these nine

expressions putting together but I think

three maybe five of them they are more

expressing our strong emotions so you

see it's like a theatre you cracked your

do this practice and you are able to

release express your emotions the answer

so instead of screaming to somebody else

you scream and your work like any

theatre - so you go in half an hour with

your theatre show at this and that and

then when you come home we are so

peaceful because you're tired screen so

yeah if you know this the deity some of

you already practicing you really should

find the real meaning of these things

and how it's important to Express

and the wrathful deities fearful monster

we are expressing the anger and the

peaceful ones are also really

experiencing the inner peace love and

joy nice things and then there is one is

called joyful it is joyful or passionate

you know they show the passion so those

are the deities they they look a little

bit how do you say can I say sexy so

also some people they have nature they

need to express you know their beauty

passion this erotic energy but because

of shy because of shame even we are all

blocked the unsaid but this country we

have you are talking also about Asia

torture many of these female deities

divinity what is we present this is the

perfect state of hope you say the power

and passion beauty and all these things

we understand so usually we don't

believe in ourself even we have

everything even Buddha's inside we don't

see them

we don't feel them we always feel our

heart is empty it's always dark is

always a bad and stress and this and

that and that's why I research some

external solutions external we need

alcohol

we need the drug we need cigarette

reading we need to have hot air call it

ganja the Carnaby's we we have some we

need mushrooms and we

and this will be the sugar William

chocolate

Clemson we are always seeking something

external we think external things are

solutions but these things the more we

take the more we need and one day we

don't have it so that's okay if anger

against your anger so that's like you

took the wrong medicine when you took

the wrong medicine

medicine is a person over there isn't it

not working if you take the right

medicine you have to work okay for me

and my Tibetan medicine doctor that's

why I'm always saying Buddhism as a

psychology Buddhism as a psychology I

really think we need a better better

effective and easy psychology in our

modern life to understand we don't need

too many theories we don't need to too

many things something very simple

something very practical and we can do

these things by ourself and we see the

result it's working on us so yeah that's

why I think we really need to rethink if

you're a Tibetan Buddhist

already practicing you guys have to

think carefully what you attempt in what

you are doing and what can do a practice

and how your own emotions are connected

with your practice and so that's called

the Maha yoga duties and then we have

the second one is called uh no yoga and

yoga desire yeah desire or attachment

and especially we are talking about

sexual desire and attachment okay I'm

not going to talk about that tonight you

guys can read my book if you want to

know about desire human desire

especially sexual desire please read my

book okay and if you have questions you

can ask Cristen is my publisher too and

you know the Tibetan tantric Buddhism

this part is very rich how to deal with

the desire and how to handle it how to

use the desire as a meditation method

the answer but then because of this sex

is becoming that taboo you say Pablo

right okay okay okay oh yeah yeah yeah

because the word itself is considered

you know something very bad negative and

something very sensitive and that's why

many Tibetan masters do you have

difficulty to express this part this

private part of practice the answer

then it says well it's a secret practice

and then they send back but then there

are so many misunderstanding about this

practice and also misuse of this

practice so that's why I wrote that book

try to explain what is a real practice

[Music]

[Music]

just just just Maha yoga how to work

with anger and passion there's three

types of duties and then Yoga is one how

to work with desire and attachment and

then happy yoga is the antidote for

confusion confusion ignorance if you

want to call it the stupidity you can

call it stupidity and as professor said

the supreme acting you guys known as the

supreme my translation Aarti I call it

extra extra milk street because alchemy

Yoga means is extremely central the ones

that said about this theatre expression

of emotion

how to work with desire this all these

practices come down like they're complex

you know there are many different levels

and stages and visualizations of mantras

very complex but a key yoga originally

it's supposed to be very direct and very

simple extremely simple and extremely

effective okay and in an English word -

to notice it's how do you say so as I

said Lucy the training right

you know what Lucy the training when you

are dreaming look at give me when you

are training you realize the oppression

so I think your girl we can translate

lose feet away

Lucy - David and you not entered rim it

doesn't matter it's a good dream of

patterning funny dream or stupid dream

right it doesn't matter

anything we can be conducive to answer

the main problem in the dream is we

don't realize that everything is our own

projection and then we get the lost

image that's our main problem and the

best solution is just to become lucid

you know your training and any moment it

doesn't matter it good train battery

boring wondrous and any moment so now

that the dreaming you put in real life

and we're like we can do the same thing

we can do see it doesn't matter you're

suffering party in singing running

smoking drinking doesn't matter to

answer any moment if you use your

mindfulness if you use if you practice

and everybody has this book I will teach

according to this theorem of your story

about the man you couldn't sleep because

my dream story so somebody was having a

bad dream

it's called the nightmare right so the

nightmare is a demon is chasing that guy

is not even chasing and this dream comes

very often and then each time this man

wake up

is it all or not a man is chasing after

me of course but then one night

again the with the repeating dream you

know regarded the dream

he throwing - that guy was chasing him

and then that night he said I really

want to know what this guy wants from me

so he stopped and he asked this demon he

said why you are chasing me whole time

and what you want from me and this demon

says I don't know this is your dream

I don't have a nice sleep and remember

you are not sleeping in the darkness

you're sleeping in clear light that's a

special minimum yogev sleep when you

fall asleep and you turn off the lights

and you close your eyes and you give up

consciousness and you feel when you give

it up you don't stay in the dark place

you actually without knowing it you were

in the clear light and that's why you

then you're gonna feel really great

tomorrow special you ought to think

about them before you fall asleep I'm

going to trust myself to clear light

that's for Alyssa that's a minimal sleep

yoga special ones don't you get nice

it's so nice okay
