once again starting a large lecture tonight
abstract with book in analogy
giving talks in serving food to judge the different than last night
can i was thinking it
basically i'm just going to same thing i've been talking about all we know and i can't think well why would you mind hear that since you've already heard you for some of you a number of times and and then fortunately i came up with the image the fact that we everyday their day for essentially the same route
effort to retain your to three times the times and every kind of the do it up in different ways and presented little different packages and arrangements and we have a feel yourself so it's going to be no different package tonight the presentation so
so
i'm know maybe it still together on
maybe time
i've hardly been struck by this because
last night we talked about concentration and the fact that concentration are searching is not really dependent on the object and we spent a good deal of our lives looking for that use the if it is going to do so absorbing for us because we have isn't mentioned
i wish to be absorbed in its absorption where we'd feel hall
ah in her own buying time and were also i wandered would feel completely in harmony harmonies what we're doing with the world visiting and in factories we'd start thinking about
how i'm doing and the world and bade in the world and we're just concerned
and how wonderful this feels and usually we think we only get it out with the person we will you fall in love in the or
particular things that are today some very same work in a lot of people are taking a hang-gliding can the various life-threatening sports
so there's another way to see where you can get real concentrated
under those circumstances because if you you make a mistake
you do that you can lose your life so you tend to concentrate a little more than that typified this very exhilarating
we used to it since i have just kind of opportunity because you to a step that when you meditate you could get hit the deck have that can cause charged episode of margarine and we concentrated
harder than we would otherwise have you get hit a few times and
they considered serious about this and go through life why did they hit me and i wasn't doing anything wrong in a way that they'd punishing me and i'm really trying my best already and it's not my vodafone violence the in this kind of schedule to have around here
and so on so then you get your own that's definite some point to keep it in yet and they say my god whatever is anyway i guess a better know via together in transitional virtues and this race send you really have me as and then i think that the whole i think convention is but one of the things that they emphasize this room when i feel
like kevin down a little bit of some other vaccines and protect emphasizes concentration or absorption and also emphasizes
work or a physical kind of participation and engagement with life both in the sitting posture sitting practice that we do and then in two days it worked
with some energy and vitality
and that kind of energy and vitality and concentration seems to be
a couple of the aspects that seven episodes but lately anyway we don't have a stake in the center
as much
don't hate each other as much and so we were not we don't have that kind of impetus to for absorption you know either neither did the we don't have to the promise or threat we don't have the promise of have some person or event particularly and then we don't have to spread of some
punishment no internet then

i reserve when i was back in vermont they sent it to enter tibet and center they said that to at the first seminary the cimperman she did and there is one hundred and two people there and they started out we have a vegetarian diet which is unusual for them because they're tibetan tradition they tend to run may kiss him to bed
they they're are to get various cultures who tend to eat a fair amount of mate because the everything from weather and that's many crops grown in a little minions very sustaining for them but they were having a vegetarian diet and then after much research and from fisher said well
he wanted now that people were settled and com can their practice he wanted them to begin to deal with negative more negative emotions and aggression and things so he introduced made him to die
it's a generally don't have to have made you just go stick and hit each other
teacher
the
so one of the points that was making about constant felt when we talked about concentration and bargain applying the mind to the object that it takes some effort or are anyway basically efforts to apply mind it's in your to start with mind does not naturally stay with the objects so this for initial period of absorption and concentration you have to
keep by herself it may be it after well my naturally stays with the object but most objects if we can contact with and our life don't have a kind of fascination and inherent absorbing capacity in to grab us
in depth so initially at least to have to apply to the object and then there's a factor joy which has been i've touched or moved by things
in that case we respond to them and then some happiness or age relaxation it's a quality of feeling at home can watch you going and when you feel at home can you
you can relate more closely with things rather than getting like an alien place and and in objects from separate
when you don't feel yourself you don't feel at home so that helps and then the fifth factor that two to factors time and money over the last month when pointed this itself
ah the collected a collective mind focused attention
non scattered so it's not in not jumping from one thing to note thing but staying with the algae but the other factors for application joy
happiness all help produce the concentration
and so what i mentioned in particular and also was that
as you can see this is not dependent on the object
it's dependent on my developing these characteristics or qualities in my children
was neither that i talked about us
are several
oh take a look at my about joy
generosity
get to our patients
i've checked little bit about these qualities because there
tremendously important qualities and it's a it's a crowded and can it's a quality is a lot of us appreciate about cooking or the quality of cooking for other people essentially for a family or friends children
in this quality of a
doing an activity to benefit others and so it said tremendously powerful
quality that comes up all the time around the quality him that we can also have a
while we're working in in the equality is that we can also extend more directly to are still want to other people and not just to do
and they want to search of and again interesting the nephew see what seems to be emerging theme this week is that this also is the quality of kindness or generosity guess are dependent on the objects
it just didn't salute that to have kindness of joy we don't have to have the object that we already naturally feel kind towards your naturally fierce and joy but we can practice
extending the kindness to we already feeling their lives through the germany already happening lives to other objects in the thing
one example from me and when i first noticed this most clearly
was when i used to we had the kitchen over here are the dish check is and
that center where the engineering is now and of we when we we with the kitchen true italian words in the kitchen with them a certain food
we did tell us a nice to put everything so big percent pm and nowadays to have springtime people can be and serve food for in those days or so we had a lot to do that everyday not just physically but everybody or just heart and work like that and i think only one or two people trying to create died
and
minute but it said to be very meritorious if you die what based in so that we didn't worry about
so i would go along with other people serve the food and as your issues here than in
i noticed that i commend to present out and
and seven suzuki roshi i felt tremendous worms and appreciation for suzuki roshi tremendous gratitude respect
and so when i served him i just felt like a servant most wonderful person with the world and i was so careful now so just kept my way to just get the food and new and just not disturbing his upsurge in are being in the slightest and know and i know later on somebody in question and answer ceremony said how do you feel
when i served your food they asked to security and he said i feel like you're offering me your entire game and that's how i used to feel when i was certain him like i was offered him my entire being and then they like thin favorite food and and then just want to be so carefully and are like not hit the side of the ball to spurn and
not get too much and not have a fall outside the ball and i haven't slough on the side of the fall and i'll just started is very careful and then the next person that i serve to serve his first and go to the next person
little still go
is where he doesn't have them and then the next person have to have less and by the third person or just suzuki roshi it was can't you get your ball out there any faster and and and finish
or my stuff on the overall size of and rosendo and just come out and i'm give it up there and slap it in there you know and then feeling like all i gotta get this done and in centers was to do things fast and and jp in these people are slowing me down and doesn't no matter
and sit down the road they refused as i mean i have no used to feel sort of competition via the services
the end of the road first
these things are important too
so one day i don't know i don't remember exactly well if it was well there was certainly no no completely outside of the hunt to expect that now well wait a minute why do i do that why do i serve suzuki roshi one way and these other people and other way
and what's the difference really between suzuki roshi and them
and of
and i and somehow i just get it sort of brainstorm why don't i just serve everybody as though they were extinguished
the
this is the kind of quality of extending
were initially you may have some sense of respect or generosity towards one person in particular or then at some point you think he realized i can i can treat everybody that way and i know that on the surface are superficially everybody isn't suzuki roshi you see all these little or no
out some kinks and and and they want more of something and you know and serve like you have a limited amount of someone saying like if it easy you know when it gets them around
dead and so they're doing all these things and then there's some people so like do they say something some kind of food commitments from get and they get horrified
i'm not here because it's something like in those days that that was the macro bags for here a circuit was a planner tomatoes are
even raisins in the oatmeal you know it's your life
and then we had a role you have to take them you know
if it's your practice to take some of the to ditch than saying no thank you but it's just a practice in words because the original buddhist practice with food is but a day when he obtained the months and then their practices to go begging and then you put out your ball which you get in the ball the and whatever is offered to
you that's your visit so a were all together in a community here we're not going out into the outside world to beg for food that we're still have some a vestige of that tradition so we say when you're in the zendo and you have your little balls there when the food comes around and take some of whatever it is that's offered but you can say
i want a little bit you say that like this in several times and bad new battery in there you go is on they would go
the
yeah
i'm a christian and a mysterious movement is gives them a few

hello
so needless to say in other words it's not so easy necessarily to treat everybody suzuki roshi but it starts first of all with is you know this kind of flash like why don't i or isn't it is everybody at some level you know at the
based of your life this a pure being the being with pure intention of being a worthy of respect where they've been honored where they have been venerated in this situation happens to have developed in itself in a way that you can see this rather than surface but isn't isn't everybody at the fun
manly you know it's the buddhism teaches this anyway
the fundamentally at the very bottom is all beings wanna be happy all beings want to avoid circling yeah we know they get confused and they get misplaced intentions and so forth and they do a harmful things and get angry and greedy in various things
but they're actually a certain level and situation would teach us this
everyone's doing their best
even though it looks like something else
and it's yeah even the fact that is the fact that they're confused and you're acting out or doing whatever they're doing this is this is just the confusion this is not them that personal fundamentally or you could say the nature of life and
mine itself is is is completely clear
and
still com and it's the confusion that we don't recognize them for
and mind itself in the first place is not
dependent on objects and we keep thinking it is and so then we want this object we don't want that logic because my state of mind is dependent which objects i have to deal with
and because we think that then we start trying to manipulate the objects and pupils and ingredients that we have to work with and as discusses the problem and then it would never work it out satisfactorily history end up having all these other ingredients that we get anyway and and people in their lives and things we have to deal with the we didn't ask for it
cecilia that's uncalled forms and
the things that certain hamlet
so again the quality of joy quality of kindness this quality of respect for generosity time to treat somebody how you treat things this is not dependent on the object one person on person like a suzuki roshi or somebody fall in love with or even looking at some
convert post in one day
many things can away from sense in view and awaken that feeling in you but then if you think you can only have that feeling with that person with that object that's mistake just like if you go to museum and you know the the store and the inner what you look at a wonderful time you look at a painting and something about it really merged you when you say i've gotta huh
that painting you think we're ever going to have that experience again
you know i mean you just had it it's gone and nine think well if i had the pain that i bought it and i headed in my house you know i could have this every day
this doesn't work like that now so over and over again we can notice that the the experienced it is not to have some object can touch something is awakened it you know and then it's up to you in your practice thursday that your extended into other places
that after you've had that experience with the painting you can look at a person a chair and onion carrot whatever it is and then you know you can have it touched you in that way to defend interest
on and better richard noble things from chicken until i hear about washing dishes were first aroused them to them
wasn't this is
huh
huh
let's understand the previous page your images tea ceremony it may take two or three hours just been together and drinking one or two pets safe the time is not spend talking only been together and drinking too
perhaps you'd think this is irresponsible because the participants are not worrying about the world situation
but you must admit that people who spend their time display know how to drink tea
and they know the pleasure of having to the branch
this reminds me i i did taste in my thirties and right rebellion year
and one day and tea ceremony i i said we didn't really like to similar very much you know you have to sit in says that since of entrance to sit on your site and this is hard to do it and sitting across the and know christians you know when we do this with you know people and have a cushion right you sit like this
the first time i did it
i was at a tea ceremony at somebody's house and i was sitting like that and my legs completely powerless the
and then at one point or everything started getting kind of a yellow tint to it
that's about i didn't know if that is about and then grabs as the yellow started getting dirt and your restraining orange and this is really interesting
them it's kind of arm and that was kind of brown and then decrease in it was black
and then everything had the same color but it was on its side

have done such as i guess it's called fainting
and isn't etc
yeah that's that's the first season my i went to so i'm not a great fantasy so
and i studied dirty with the here secures his wife mississippi sensing and
don't forget it was it was i forget if it was well as accuracy was still alive and i was the activity this after he died so said in testimony with her and it was kind of there was one of these things that if you were blinded by you know you'd studied to know them well can
do it but anyway one day was just sitting there and and we just sort of settlement was going to on staff
and usually i feel kind of bored because they're like cases when are we getting into the team
i'm in a corner and you've gotta try to remember all the movements to make and all this if you're doing the to and then you've gotta remember even learn is still japanese phrases about excuse me but i'm going to have my tv for you have your time
as you say the japanese the second lane
you say excuse me for going first and but you said in japanese like having them losing and every one was just sitting there now just tremendous com like i'd never experienced before i used so seconds and then the out the room is you know it's just this little children but was like it was like bigger than its fair amount of a sudden i just felt so calm and i
just just isn't the nervous ocean of calmness
and now what how come that never happened when the zendo
but after that you know once the billion texas you then you can take it other places them instead several okay now i know that can happen i sort of awakened was once it's awakened then you can start to find another place as you can search to find it whether to the meditation hall and you were okay so indeed
video things and circumstances and so forth had his power but if you if you limit it to those things then pretty soon you're trying to manipulate and then you say to the person
hey you you used to give me a thrill but now the thrill is gone
and he asserted manipulate people you know you really should be doing this thing for me that you used to do for me they've got me off to and and you're not doing a more and what's wrong with you and you don't love me anymore and then you so you gain involved and and things because you think that feeling comes from the person personal now there's a thriving in the early
so that's preventing misguided you've gotta take good feeling it's been awakened and then start spreading it around
okay
so now onwards
devoted voting shares your cup of tea as i agree with a good strange there are many other things to do so i mean laundry washing dishes by the books writing perhaps these are the tests are less pleasant than drinking tea or washington hills but if we do them in full awareness we will find them quite agreeable even washing dishes
after big deal can be a joy
each thought each action in the sunlight of awareness becomes sacred in this life know god exists between the sacred and profane
i must confess it takes me a bit longer to do the dishes
but i never fully and every moment and i'm happy
washing the dishes is at the same time of names and that is not only do we do the dishes in order to have the dishes but we also do this is just a few places to live bullet in each moment by washington if i'm incapable of washing dishes truthfully if by
i want to finish them quickly so i can go and have a cup of tea i'll be equally incapable of drinking the tea correctly
with the cup my hands i'll be thinking about what to do next
and the fragrance and flavor the t together with the pleasure of changing it will be lost
i will always be dragged into the future never able to live in the present moment

so when know when we do things like this when we have some feeling dogan also then the instructions to choose to the i could and talks about joy has been one of the qualities that encourages to cook to develop and this is a joy and
not dependent on
of accomplishment particularly for a particular flavors but just the joy of being a moment and looking at things officiating things same things so
and then and then as i said about to enter into having things touch you so you know it just looks like an engineer but you can you start to see an onion and
the onion can be your child or you know it's like your arm and it's so it's like a very strong child
because it's so sincerely what it is and so
you know it's just it's not anything else it's not pretentious it's awesome it's not faithful it's so sincerely onion and then you can look at it and it it knows it's know so well how to be completely and onion
it's really remarkable
that something has this pendant something you know that an onion has this kind of knowledge how to be enough
and then it's not it doesn't have this kind of qualities that you events eventually just kind of confusion or anything it's just there it is and then it it goes on and don't just do that and i just did it and then it lets you do whatever you will was it now it's completely at mercy you can take a toasted from the garbage
it's now or you can hack into pieces
and you can make to message that and and the onion in it just lets you do it you know you might make something very delicious and you might burn the onion know and it just lets you good
and all the food has aesthetic qualities and it's it's completely
it's thing is completely what it is it's very sincere
and it doesn't
it doesn't it lets you do these things and it doesn't say you away in midtown don't treat me like that
it's very interesting their very
so it's sort of up to you know how you're going to treat the onion it gets isnt i can tell you exactly
but if you burn it you'll notice i burned it or
noted for his things
so part of this is the quality that interesting enough that once your touched by something then you want to you feel like you want to treat it kindly
once you've touched but and when food such as we like this venue treated kindly in considerately and your chair with how you handle it
and you don't exactly just to toss it around and you know somebody today read the interview i've done in a swiss around so as reminded of that and i hadn't looked at them long time but
i had when i'd done that arctic and to his journal i had just talked to some months ago a yoga teacher from ghana he is actually lives in great britain and originates from gun and he was actually one of the his family was wiped one of the
really damn somebody and then they had do they were into exile soviet you know get out them they would like military
but he said that gotta they would never consider he didn't anonymous food in other words it would need to care if they didn't know who good
kind of the know what farm it came from you see and we have the idea that this food it's just stuffed in a nice exchangeable say completely exchange to an interchangeable it's all just same as are just keris you know and we don't sort of have some sense that there's also this fence spirit that comes
along with it that and there's these people who worked on these things and this is people who have grown them and all carrots aren't exactly the same carrots this game and once you started to think that carrots are just the material
if there's you then you can then you can do whatever the carrots and you don't you don't have a sense of joy you know they can't they're not going to touch you it just more stuff it's just more things that matter in a matter it's dead stuff it's just matter it's not vitality it's not spirit it's not energy is not the people who grow and it's not the people who ship
did it's not the case would be no and son so then when you think about it when we think we tend to think about these things it's just a matter you know it's hard to feel joy it's hard to feel kind of started then you
the way trade things we popped them into all sorts of machinery and if you're all these different things and to bang around in then you know let's get the food out and well i don't know maybe here we not journey that stuff but anyway you understand the point of making this is what happens with food and the more we see it as something other than just or more the
and just matter than we have to spend of residence it's kind of quality of some residents and also some recognition of i'm also
euros to the food my hand is because of the thirty safely in my hand and then you know in it and it's my heart and i'm working on my own body and mind here and the bodies and minds of others and so then
kindness
in the so a country
to abandoned summary systems in like this
he says
have a look at the apple tree in your yard
look at it with complete attention
it's truly a miracle
if you notice it you'll take good care of it
and you too are part of it's miraculous miss even after caring for it for only a week it's leaves are already greener and shine here
it's exactly the same with the people who are around you
under the influence of awareness you become more attentive understanding and loving and your presence not only nourishes you and makes you love near it enhances them as well our entire society can be changed by one person's peaceful for presence

the in terms of kindness
one of the qualities dogan pensions and that other people mentioned is too busy and i mentioned it the other nine the kindnesses often the the feeling of their child and the way in which we will
for ourself not think about her own heat and cold and and think about our child give our child are close to they'll be warm and were willing to be called so that they can be warm and that kind of spirit
effort they remake to take care of a child
is often used cars
image or thinking about
so in the instructions to the cook dog and says so
when you're handing the water in the brain
to take care of it with compassion as though it was as though you were attempting taken care of your children
so this is again with with it i have a phone which extreme
you can get this kind of kindness
i'm kind of ten in frontal as isn't just
at the same time that we were working on it and inserting it out washington in separating the dirt
cutting it up
but it's not just to get a in sandstone
i'm doing have it is an expression of kindness and then it's also our generosity is a certain generosity mind and body that you too
food when we with it
i'm just your work i'm cooking is is this expression in his generosity you don't have you don't necessarily have a feeling like how generous i am the effect is you're when you're cooking you're giving yourself to the preparation of food you're giving your attention your time your energy
here vitality
and we recall this generosity it's not
you know it's not something besides the fact that doing it but you have to have some feeling of being generous i pretend to suit any insist the ethics of is giving is dangerous
ha snom
oh and then

so anyway yeah i guess it and and that and
and then as the curd i've talked about this earth that before
then it's the clips job so to speak
and you know i mentioned to be generous i've mentioned when i examined carefully i'd find it
it's important to me it just to offer your food i've done my job by off his food
other people
it's actually them what they'd do that than i can if i start to get involved in telling people
i think you think a feeling with my food i know i wanted you to like it by didn't want to just two scarf it down like that arise from says
wanted of have a little for car i want to
religion and one little bow and man for you know in the process of you reading
and i want to go and i want to kind of compliments and
so if i started to get involved in that right that's called manipulation listen
so all i had to do is offering then
you really have to let other people do with it but they want
eight it it it fast eight it's slow mike not like it tell you they like it to don't like this can't tell you anything
an otherwise it's just it's a in
the level of getting both and manipulation and resident generosity kindness this involved in rp
and in that night i i i must have been to tell you a few things from attacked by the dalai lama and it says at the end of his talk the exact same thing about his top
this is i reminding you about some of these things and hasn't you know it doesn't you who are buddhist and remind me about these practices that you can be reminded of them and perhaps take them up between new figure for those of you aren't buddhist perhaps to consider
this practice and if it doesn't seem to be interested you can share of no use other side
this thing for great player
you know if he's not saying but i told you is really important and hit her fix it you should take it to heart and you don't well i just think you're a church and
so it's a wonderful kind of to see that that's again the quality of certain as cluttered and generosity and he says in his targets for making seventy nine and he says i'm forty four years old this is almost ten years ago mya and forty four years old and i concentrate my f
verge in my meditation in my life and developing kindness
that's pretty striking of all the things to each might concentrate on as dalai lama
this is wherever i go i tell people to be altruistic in kind to others
this is a knife and tension
and into denver isn't as the explains the and started from the circumstance
there's just these two aspects related to what is this aspect of kindness generosity alex festive feeling and then quality of wisdom and enlightenment
clarity
and since then these are equally important aspects
i started reach your little a passage from listening this is little article that was passed out of does from time to actually and notes felt train
and by the dalai lama
the pyramids

there are many words of advice many precepts
but the meaning of them all is love and compassion within the teaching of buddha there are very many powerful techniques capable of dancing divine with respect to love and compassion a good mind a good heart and warm feelings are the most important thing if you don't have such a
good mind you yourself in that function you cannot be happy yourself and consequently your own kin made from children are neighbors and so on will not be happy either and thus from nation to nation in continent to continent everyone's mind will be disturbed and people was those happiness
but on the other hand if you do have a good attitude a good mind a bit hard and than the opposite is true so in human society the compassion and kindness are the most important things they are simple really precious and very necessary and one's life
i've therefore it is worthwhile making an effort to develop this sort of good good art

ha
so i i find from my stuff i have over the years i find it quite possible to
center says my my particular sin be testing
that way and so i i have this kind of feeling towards food or like this i find cooking them
an excellent place to practice
expressing a kindness and generosity of spirit
in this way and offering my energy my body my time in the preparation of food for the benefit of others it's real hard to just to it been so
i find that we must be protected
my father died a while back my mom says i don't cook anymore
and i used to think of so tiresome looking for your dad
a
and now i stated there is a little more to it than that
interesting
traditionally also there
in buddhism various forms of
loving kindness meditation
an interesting enough one of the is to
actually say to yourself may i be happy may i be happy may i be healthy may i be paid from suffering
than joy is of well being
will i be generous
may i help others mean i realize complete liberation for the benefit of others
this final
you have trouble
starting with may i be happy me i'd be helping the advocate for surfing i mean i've always taken to start with you know the carrots
and now wishing them well
when
helping them to camus i really purposes to love with vitality of hearing me
no
but also then if you
so whether you start with yourself or you can start with somebody that you have some naturally positive feeling towards and one way to do it is you you're sitting and
the or take a few moments to visualize the person in your heart is you already have a lot of positive feelings for them can perhaps as and mutual security and then you let this person being in your heart with this feeling you have choices person and the persons in your heart you had this one a person
this gris for their happiness and if you want you can actually say maybe be happy may be healthy
from suffering me and during long life is well being
mei you chain complete liberation
and freedom
and when you say that you know you're not just wishing that and person and because that person's in your heart enough
so it's not just somebody else that's also then wishing yourself that is doing so in some ways it's not much different than serve save yourself with the person's right here it's you
the person that you have not been for you
and then with those the basis you know you you are sometimes they suggest you take some in japan don't feel particularly
see if you did extend this form of compassion kindness feeling of who wish to that prison and then take somebody
if you can did you really find difficult and difficult person
can you wish them well they needed the most of blog
okay and each of us is touch that difficult person
so when you you will have to realize the first then that you're not just wishing that difficult person out there well but you're also wishing the typical person that you are sometimes well rather than when you when you find yourself to be a golf person you go yet hundred
you've been doing for a huge you know and then having that kind of
negative attitude towards you seven year the did with a person
that's tremendously powerful
to that kind of factors to cheer you take even somebody you get a positive for and you put it in your heart than you're wasting yourself well and then it it's a neutral person or a negative person you can instantly wish them well and that's also you and wishing your stuff well even at that time when you have a typical chris
and

i have done it
oh i don't have one of the story of a literature stories about one was doing
