morning

i'm doing assume that like to talk about like to go to come in and looking oh she's touched and because they bring us directly into
the heart of a practice
and
it me the opportunity to share my understanding of
sgt which i london's my seven years of practice with him
and
gives me a chance to ended up a fish them
when he doesn't work
so
that the sixth day of fishing
she'll be real the cuckoo
hey
and it is not over it
ah so ah
but educational because we're out of here

we're not quite sure what the a dish and we did certainly not over date
motors and ah
the town we lose that such were the kind of naturally let go of that sense of them
a condition time
yeah we're so used to
hmm and were actually more in the room and condition time
even though we have a schedule
you exercise exercising life
where's my fucking really trust the horror of and that we've experienced data can
it it doesn't take long before nobody knew for dangerous
what is it
the because we don't go on that kind of time you go on for nine daytime
then before thirty nine day and should they were
it's the to his laundry
get up a little bit earlier or later
little bit later and then
time to do a fish
but other that is not a common time
if not the observed serving sunday doesn't the indifferent and interested church
yeah it's a different kind of time and it's somewhat conditioned but is much less conditioned
so
we're learning more and tradition time frame

so today i'm going to talk about accuracy
talk on that
what we call to concentration

so i chose a true concentration does not move to be concentrated on only one thing i would point
although say two things one by one
but it manages to the complex plane
one by one mean to do one thing after another
i tried to explain
this is now and then we do the next day and they will do the next day
well as much preconception
without trying to concentrate our mind on anything in particular probably one thing we already concentrated on something
ah furnished and if my eyes are on one person in rosendo
it will be impossible to get my attention to others so when i practice virgin and not watching and by the anyone version
i'm damned if my wish i can spot them
heathrow if i were usually think of concentration unusual where we think of our concentration is to concentrate on one thing
and ah
strong concentration is sometimes likened to a a laser beam
if you really concentrated burst into flame
best kind of constitution that's not really talking about he found that why concentration to has no purpose there's nothing in the mind simply the eyes are open so if i
that's just look straight ahead my peripheral vision is pretty ghosts
i can see everybody fan and gloves never hear anybody so whatever happens in that light feel the concentration becomes apparent
oh
when we should thousand
ah
they both both pinpoint concentration and white concentrations sometimes
we have one son and the other
but he pointing out with this particular aspect of concentration
when wish a shift
and you know people talk about phoenicians to africa talk about this severely or talk
people fight about
in the passion of meditation and unpunished and well crispy divided camp
he really even a know that
how would you know that faster and version we go over all the parts of our posture
to make sure that our posture is correct and inline and harmonious
show
is the mujer correct now recording the winter correcting murderer
the perfect circle but it's the feeling of a circle even out an atlas our homepage the right
yeah
doug the world the world isn't only share english metaphorically sickle
this light russia cuckoo
patients this eccentric
so
any other phones
with for some fishing each other the text species of not like this
and just barely touching and if he can concentrate on your you're in that way that one point in concentration
so that when the phone stuck to press against each other you know this transmission the body
and with the trump's to bali a coming apart the slackness laxness in the body
so the issue this is the situation is to come around and always correct everybody's mujer
so we call me only roger
in a practice year in crushed by fish but he wouldn't say so at that
is insisting that before the merger in a correct way
and
the condition is tell you the condition of your
and posture of your bodily position
when of the with her the with the tetanus or likeness so
when if we concentrate on following the merger
a correctly reject it feels like maybe there's a piece of paper in between
just barely touching his getaway
visit
and electricity snapped for dream the two fox
and am
if we concentrate on goodreads is that way then naturally falls into place
kinda harmony
because that's the point at which we know
how we just urban tells us something that are adjustment and tells us something about her the condition of our
tense tension bottle intention
so we concentrate on the router and then we go out and contrary on the elbows out through from the body
we don't want to be like this this like clutching here frame
the fellowship of his english
when she found here and most used to say like putting a jag under a riot under
each of your outfits so if you often is
yeah
no because his the pasture pushing your lower back forward the to your sternum
keeping your head on top for your spine keeping the time to time with the roof of your mouth and if you have teeth enough the she get the
him
and pupils are large and ten attention to the blue from your lower abdomen so all these others ah
i'm viewing for to be scanning points about it
dimension of you
solution for we do during essential
this stop so much to do in addition point we counted they go there in just concentrate on the whole body
that much
that's the wind concentration in that concentrating on any particular part
but you concentrate your your thumb
the inward visions and revision are
not attached to any particular spot
but
have you during the whole thing at once
and then you go back to the particulars don't scare
so that's all there is to do with jersey
but it's a lot if you really do that then you're continually readjusting your passion because the pasture is continuously changing
people often say that once she hit enter into the pasture that you should never move
but
the subtle adjustments is not what we call me
moving image changing your position for something a that
if you have to change your position is fine
hum
at some point
don't need to be dinner
you will want to not change
but he can't do much about that until you until you a militia himself
so
this is why concentration when you can when you allow you you just allow everything to be cooler
concentrating on any one spot for favoring any much but but then there's the body scan which is concentrating a particular boss

so he says without trying to concentrate our mind on anything we were ready to concentrate on something for instance the menagerie that okay so what i practice i didn't know not watching in one person or any one thing
then if anyone moves and i can spot them so the she's like a call the mirror like mind
the know the for much
ah mirror like mind
ah
the mind of a total equality the mind of the resolution and reminder another
ah enlightened activity
so the mirror mine just see everything and she just about any comment
let any preconceptions
otherwise whatever preconception we have is a tenth
chosen religion pure vision is without any tenth of idea about it
the sightseeing she's hearing hears tasting tasting smelling smells
she feels safer
when that name
as yesterday
i just came up for a naming in genders believe
naming create something shoes should be his name in become faded
so
we live in this
thank you world you know
where we're orange
i'm putting conditions on things which is fine because as he said a fish cannot live in pure water
so it's not there simply
back when we have to have if we didn't live in attended world we wouldn't be able to live it off
we can not live in a pure world which is the opposite of attainable
but it's your world encourage the candid world can attain the world including for pure work otherwise
each map true purity
elsa an apple akita's runner is the bodhisattva of compassion
sometimes sometimes portrayed as a man of the cages were also appears in the form of a woman sometimes she has one thousand hands tied to her bones but if she concentrates that only one hand than nine hundred ninety nine hands to be of no use
that's an interesting statement and
you know the cut off the corner of a thousand arms and hands each one and is a helping hand for some
ah
ah the hear you say if we only if it were ever cases where only concentrate on one thing with one hand than the other hand so useless so he's just using this to express
ah
actually it should be expressed display that
let this length retain my finger
when a good k as you know if and finished a lot of rotate a little boy to think we get out

he used to ready whenever they hit anybody asked a question about then he would just raise his finger
process
what does it mean to reach one finger
yeah
to raise one finger been said this one finger it contains the whole universe
you don't understand is this one trader contains the whole universe or is
ah offensive at the focal point of the whole universe if you want to see the whole universe living with a finger
sure
sure if i were lucky to suarez is helping one person with one finger on the nine hundred and ninety nine fingers are so
evolved
papa slickers is missing strange situation nutrition fresh manager follow up on when we just sit here
answer from ancient times the main point of practice has been to have a clean come from on a clear calm mind
the main point of practices they have a clear calm mind
now we can start in obvious th
that's all there is
hundred combined what does that mean no
what is a clear calm mind
hmm
to have declared combined whatever you do
that's the qualification whenever he didn't feature to have effect on mind when things are earth when there's no problem
but when i when haven't really a problem
i always used to say commemorated a pastry
gender in san francisco people walking up and down the street yelling and screaming cars going by our country and i respect to move the best place to practice at it
this period nashua to the wage complex surgeon
birgit reading in the african elephant but when something's really happening that is just that could be disturbing how do you maintain your lived in that situation
so real practices how do you maintain clear calm mind no matter what's happening
that's the point of practice
it sounds like maybe superficial but if you go all the way to the bottom you'll see that each other
most important point
junit not be moved
not be moved off your seat reached to have this
the but dermatol bodhidharma dog from japan
the
i wanted a don't look at the the relaunch the ones that have a weight as bottom and active around bottom
and when you push it over for backup
it's one thing to be pushed over but an elephant to come back up so how do you always come back up
that point
so and bring
yeah impact your ability doesn't mean not to be moved
in future with no matter how you removed
you're not moved here
it's like
hum
ah
but i'm being on a ship and the ship is rolling early but to sixty doesn't roll speech study
so ah
me but ownership when you are insulting good your mind should become enough to appreciate the labor of preparing food and the effort of making the dishes chopsticks balls and everything we use with a serene find
how we can appreciate the flavor and each vegetable one by one
we don't have much seasoning so he can enjoy the virtue of each vegetable and that's how we cook and lv include
show that original to know someone is to know that person's distinctive flavor for each one of us has a flavor
somerset in china they don't talk about that when they talk about guns
something like that didn't talk about snap
or flavors average of smell a female so used to flavor
tom
so each one of us has his a of her own flavor and particular personality from which many feelings appear to fully appreciate the a personality later is to have a good relationship then we can really be friendly to be friendly does that mean to clean descent
my retreaded please him but to fully appreciate them so how'd you meet everyone with big mind is when it said how do you need
what you need
and we say can never for labour's furnished his food
ah
how do we really appreciate that
damn sure
and pushes accuracy but to appreciate everything
is how to accept and been one with our world
i even though there are things we don't accept
and
you have to decide me at what to accept in mathematics check this is why he touched about the frog
and frog you're shitting on the rock
motionless dishes presented attention shifts motion of from iraq
just
in ah
with nothing in the mind
the flag was by and with the five of by the tangles
justify anything goes
for
near the church
john
and flight come
there's a big fight going on in congress
and white house
about killing the richest people a tax break for ever
project he should not have it
the
one party much begin their habit but this was be repealed
me or continued
in president
having hard time in the hundred electrical pushy to center that a getaway british so that you have to make a choice of
can do something
to support something we should all support no catchphrase
hey
so but i'm i'm talking about the kitchen the first them that a great place to practice
i am
i worked in here on wednesday with paul he set up and i helped him clipped and you know i have my dish interested but we will work really well together and he has a scientific mind
and he figured everything are scientifically in oregon greenish know our way and calculated
hey it's terrific that i haven't had a standard of
so but when i heard additional
but he sees my strength is intuition and i see his phrases calculation
and work really loving other he lets me do my part and i live in your part to this part and the other we just harmonize like like milk and water know and have a a poster to do something and then who are going with with delays are such a different way of really should i do it without even saying anything
you know isn't that a harmonious interaction
is expensive
so we both really love it
than it is such a joy to read competition in that way
but there's nothing is no if you know and a certain time the mail has to be there
and sure you know that and if you know that that's enough
your body from my will take care of the time without worrying about it
if you trust that so you really trust yourself that down happen in your thirty nine work and kohei that trust got comes out in time
so
ah to me that you and wonderful since of practice and how are we without preconceptions to have an idea what you're going to do with it
you just put a more to do it to know
and everything worked out very well so that's
why i like one reason why i like working in the kitchen
and he showed the food new and satisfied
most everybody
hey
and so it has to appreciate a things and peter of our minds me to become clear
shall practices and or just sitting she tasha
what are anything idea
at this time you are new yourself you settle yourself and yourself
this practice we have freedom but it may be that the freedom removing and the freedom zen buddhist moon or not the same
to attain freedom requests a ledge keep our pasture upright and let our eyes and ears be open to everything this range or openness is important because we are liable to go to extremes and sixty seven in this way we may lose our columnists or mirror like mine
and and condition mind
because as we know the usual were thinking about freedom is to freedom to do whatever you want but this freedom from different shoes
the freedom to not be caught by when you watch

not to get caught back when we lived
no desire
kish according to the four noble truths to class of suffering
to be open to everything without desiring something special is freedom but we don't feel that way it's hard to see it that way
love and practice is how to obtain calmness and clarity in mind but we cannot do this by physically forcing something on herself or by creation special state of mind
you think that to have a mirror like mind is and practice
it is true but if you practice and in order to attain that kind of mirror like mine that is not practice the branches that we mean that has become the artist jan
so he's making a distinction between what is true him and what if the ownership the is trying to mission to come out and looks like then
the to try to reach a goal that have fun
much like the thing
the flesh
hum
even if we practice to gain some purpose or two fast and purpose to get someplace
that will work
but if we simply practice without anything idea than that which we think we want will appear

this life
you can be it but you can't see it
he can pick
he can't clinch
percent to do it
blindly
just practice blindly
and you picked it up am i getting there
dennis
sf
so the difference between the artist in intrusion is that already you have choosen without trying
don't have to try to get because you've already what you are
what and when trying to do something you visit your concentrating on one hand and one thousand hands you noticed nine hundred ninety nine him that is why we say just sit
it does not need to stop your mind all the
when have been concentrated completely a new briefing although
these are a help you will become bored when you practice counting your breath because it does not do much to you but when you have lost your understanding of but then you have lost your understanding and real practice to practice concentration
how to let my mind follow a breathing so that we are not involved in some complicated practice in which we lose yourself attempting to accomplish something

oh in the origin betray me like a skillful than master who has great drinks and good practice for you strut around with your just though
you may say he and you make if i phone call this but we do good practice
it's not so
that group practice
group practice is quite different another kind of art
during the war against a group practice and down with practices group okay and largest market catching a work group
practice
if you in a tangible issues me
that sounded like you were saying food
a group of crashes
he considers his group fresh with business of group
the second is quite different and every kind of art during the way from young people encouraged by the relativistic move in japan and reshaped to move this wine from the she showed me to shove use a path
a number of in touch that were put together by the sort of schools and educators
examples don't constituents he she showed me to understand birth and death is the main point in practice they said even though i don't know anything about that future i can die usually at the threat
there's group practice encouraged by trusted kittens and workers is quite easy to die
we'll all die together
we knew that wasn't been there will come zealand and your daddy ever
hopefully
that of practice is not a factor here
although in practice with people our goal is not the practice aftershave
although practice with people and goal is to practice from mountains and russian trees and stones with everything in the world everything in the universe and the find ourselves in this big cousins federal credit for practicing
change mountains that the university so when we practice in this big world we know intuitively
which will we go
when our surroundings give me a sign showing which will to go even though you have no idea of following your shine you'll go through right direction
a just i trust

i'm out for noted
would you are all open
you can read the signs
which is called intuition
so when you're surrounded feeling refreshed when you allow your surroundings to give you a shine
i'm showing which way to go you may have no idea following signs you going to right direction
the practice or weather is good but
lorenzen practitioner gonna take an idea still if you know i'm making a mistake but even so i can i help continue with my practice then there's don't worry
so you know there's a big mistake but we have to do it anyway
dogan bloodshed
as investors and a whole life could be when we can continue mistake he didn't say it is when continuous to said
some people misconstrue that they sit in the think the target who immensely left his whole life is one continuously has the right quickly
one can invest with the which means perfectly right
he had
if you take that literally well if embryos
take an ambiguously veteran
so to practice our way is good but you may i just really
if you opened your true eyes and except for you that is involved in the wrong idea of practice that is real practice
an insurgent
you're thinking the a in you accept your thinking because it is already there insurgent new except you're thinking because it is already there he cannot do anything about it is no need to try to get rid of it
this is not a matter of right or wrong but a powder which shift frankly with openness of mind what you are doing just the most important point when you practice that and you will accept the you who was thinking about something without trying to be free of the images you have
so no matter how many times and shailesh people say but my binders full of images
and i think it's ok
but it's not okay
it's not okay it's okay the same time
but it's really okay as long as you're going to attach to the images and past
it's like floating clouds we want this guy to be clear
the ranch and the clownfish floating by
and you can be enjoyed them
you know
he joined the such
the earth
the bits and pieces of thoughts that are flowing through your mind
if you enjoy them you can let them go
if you think they shouldn't be there they will haunt you
the second
will defeat you
just enjoy them and let go you know
ah no next
next the for your patience
he read that sentence again
when he practices and you will accept the you who was making through his thinking about something without trying to be free of the images you have
but that doesn't mean that it's located to dwell on the images
if you get vicious about flesh
this is about our life no matter where we are
if we get caught by the images we have in our mind then we lose our freedom
but we know we love our imagination when you think your well who am i i am my imagination
when your imagination stash than who are you
and tipping point when the imagination starch than do are you
because we identify with as where the imagination come from
what is the source of imagination
it's been alive is nana is the source of in conservation and keeps
carrying out thoughts and ideas and pictures
canon or ourself a sense of self or manners
ah thinks that
that which to the leia is continually producing is itself we he tells my top
the damage is causes to me is by imagination
that's what we think
but actually
beyond imagination the curtain of imagination if something else which is very boring
because imagination will be contrast the screen with him with a for summary
the screen just machine
but without the screen there's no movie
so someone should
ha ha
wow
when am i not
tom in a movie
how do i know when i'm not in the movie when i'm not creating the movie
it's a good question

i was creating this movie doesn't
it's to see the movies old dish
stanford's actually tends to let them to let the movie flow through if consciousness well you are the screen
i used to see the movie for what it is

and issues the mirror mine for their mind doesn't mean that there's nothing reflected was reflected in the movie
the continually going back
but without engaging in the movie
when you stand up you can engage in the movie
you can dreamy between and then we actualize a grinch the next connection
so
ah he says when you practice as and you will accept the you who was thinking about something without trying to be free of the images you have oh did i have
if somebody's moving over there is movement than if you start moving your eyes remain the same fetched as run this is how your eyes machine when you were not watching anything special
in that way your practice includes everything one thing after another and you do not lose you accomplish of mind
this is a to concentration
the extent of this practice is limitless but with this as a pitch we have relied on
when you evaluate yourself as being good or bad right or wrong that is comparative value and you lose your absolute value
which is called virtue
i've changed
i've been there
five split life
how said
first check my faster if by
but discovering sleep enough and then i'll check my foster dad
but the reasons why you fall asleep return will go into
but
ah
you just make an effort to wake up so
the french called continuously waking up continuously making the effort to wake up
quaker with flickr flickr
rep continuing training for your your attention back to waking up
so when you have white concentration that's called waking up because there's nothing there's no ego is yourself
the drainage or catching to the project which is green and then wake up from my dream
and then we go back to the dream he emigrated from a tree never go back to the truth
but wake up from the dream that's what it is over overdosed and then you really so this is a dream on should the wife the she's a dream of the gillette
that's what it is and if you can refresh yourself so they do not sleeping on time which is you know if we catch ourselves
in various states so check it out
sometimes you were refreshed and sometimes we're driving a rash
her
to where his best life
and
a
it's just like to it is
we should be sleep we dreamed we went up
fancy positive sleeping dreaming waking up and it
hacker
and no matter where you are not what's happened
no matter what you were you i what you're doing that's what's happening so they should just for were really looking at it
really experiencing with what's happening with a clear vision

a show the extent of the practice is limitless
with this as a base
we have real freedom when you evaluate yourself as being good or bad right or wrong that is competitive them and you lose the absolute value of friendship
when you evaluate yourself by a limitless measure each one of you will be show and your real self so instead of evaluating herself in a comparative way

virtue you know means the way read the railway regiments reality
me
and of reality instead of comparative values
so when you evaluate yourself by a limitless measure
each one of you will be sheltered you yourself that is enough even though you think you need a better measurement
if you understand this point you will know what real practices for him a beach and for everything
ah
the ocean has many ways
and you can compare this way with that way but even though the ocean has many ways and your one way and i'm another way
it's just water

just water through and through
so
the ocean is the measure rather than a wage and we can see more clearly
can understand my feelings and not get caught
in small concentration
narrow concentration
checks
future psychopath
he added villagers stiff skeleton circular or weren't good and jackie fact for the practice
die again
and
and i think for horrifying
ah that i can detect trash out love i waved her way round wire and i think what's the difference the difference between what
we agree i got to friendship each other i write bridges
be fast-tracked we will be shooting each other we forget it ruin a water
and that's just called me
i'm want get to get rid of you in order to be
i have ever be a top that comparative values
you're worth than i am so i'll shoot you just comparative value that will try to avoid
to solution to the whole thing
for all water well the same
shall we should treat each other like we want to be treated
we should treat everybody as herself because we are one one body
well when body water why should we shoot each other
how should you talking about
but there's a way which
location
also a way which are our wider
the district make a difference at me know measures different here though
the wisdom of equality means they were all
all the same the wisdom of differentiation means that we appreciate the differences

so we both the same and different
here we have to appreciate the differences even though we're all the same
promising and we're all different

i guess i feel like you can might be a you're here and
a lot of times people derive a sense of being better than their small self when they become part of it was you know i don't think it's necessary your small mind that goes out and wants to be shot at the francis tuttle about the spirit of being willing to sacrifice a
mol cell in honor of something theater even though it's a big idea that you to take idea that the one race is better one nation is better than another
it raises one that we really questioned now that was something that no students question well as a potential of that group practice when he thought about is sacrificing yourself for the good of your small group particular group which delivers talking about his
being one of the whole universe
as your group

you see images and you accept that friends and trying to get rid of it
i can understand that better than if i am doing something seen images doesn't seem to be highly and that sometimes i do something that seems to be harmful
that seems hard to accept
but you have to accept it
what happens courtesy
can set for friday
you're gonna shatter the shining
covering
that's one of the of coverage and
have tarnished
rufino yes i did that i am doing i'm doing a or you know you are doing it
gosh practice
this i'm doing this app thing but you know i can help list
that's what you have to find
the true price is right there
you to find the true faggots when you're done anything wrong with the for persons were only doing something that's a problem may struggle with somebody
ah shucks that's where the real practices
right there

i'm here
trump's second day asked to sing with kenny have enough to have have to release because on the second check out his in the kitchen with john the tenth so and that never not here anymore at a math nation is on say
say center he says as he told his story where he started cooking a soup and i think was doing that bravado face of sense as et cetera many processes putting in a few to choose a better the or and not set up his or are you doing
