an important factor for him
but i'm no
eating too much
ha ha
and am
we live in a society course which ah
promotes fame again
and a or
them
as
this greediness or an inquisitive we're coveting desire is an ego builder
so when he's really talking about is not that he shouldn't have some good position but he's talking about fast
needing to create a big since itself
which actually is a balloons
and chicken expansive hundred around hot air balloon i think if we go from trenches a big hot air balloon which covers
in an experience but is easily packed
if not a solid
ah hell
physician
from which to appraise
chance when we if you look at some the financial situation in america in the world
we talk about balloons
let's just the situations balloon to finish the perpetrators of the floor balloons if he go to the and ah covetousness who need so much
who needs for much for their previous to the second time
awakening is to know how much is enough
these two aspects are complimentary i was thinking how much is enough
this is to know how much is enough even if you already have something you said a little for yourself for using it so you should know how much is enough
the buddha said if you want to be free from suffering you should contemplate going how much is enough by knowing if you were in the flesh of enjoyment and peacefulness and if you know how much is enough you're contented even when you sleep on the ground if you don't know if you are discontented even
when you are in heaven you can feel port even if you have much wealth you may be constantly pulled by the five designers and pity by those who know how much is enough is result to know how much is enough
should he or she talked about
oh lamp in his life
that was practices it is adjusting the lamp
so that it's not as you put out the fire
dish that divorce has to be the flame the flame always has to be adjusted according to the circumstances if it's too much samantha some burnt out black and if it's not enough you can see what you're doing
the heart of desire is like is a friend that
we're doing it

besides turns the world in to download
ah
so not knowing if it is like just have a fire
the direct access to fire
memphis bold and ambitious
maria
so the fire gets attracted to many things
it is too high it was too much behind it the burns that's what we want
if we are pursuing am someone that we think we love
the fire burns very brightly and if we can't have it into furniture up and we suffer
so knowing what if what is there
how to preserve
ah
and the right light without burning a flag without burning ourselves as out
and how to actually manage to that we can do whatever we need to do and have good relations with everybody in the world
it's all a matter of just a the lamp
so wanting to much is getting to brag ice
and devices
so a winner
check
an objection the world are offered to us
they often blind us and we can't really find our way
so we didn't have able to adjust to has just right that actually practice to see the essence of practice and are times and we should be practicing this federal funds hardware just the so did it was our way without burning up for
everything up or get to them
so you know that are
standard of living is very high
because there's never enough never have we keep we keep raising the ante of a standard of living in this in our society and in other pressure on the stand with and to her
ah so this is unfair judgment made by adjustment were burning yourself out and rest of the world is suffering from love love love love
so halloween control ourselves for the real kicker files
so is like knowing how to have no one is enough if you go to the supermarket there's an endless variety of things to have said you can have you can have it all this is the devil's the success question
if it is you can if you want to speak in defence ah
you can have it on a lake is just keep pushing harder to make more money to have it all and when you get when you get something and you have to somebody else because once a year it is no longer satisfied
this is the problem with desire was she gets what you want still you have to say of fatalities she get some pieces from paris
and then when you that he has a the urgent issues in this are more or different sports
because variety because the space
which does is really tasty
so we all suffer from this no surprises stand even if we don't launches his speech and of it
the others check the scientists
especially if we don't
some
keeping can be going by pine trees he will all down
as she'd fallen down
so
insisted survives so the practices how do you know how much is left
you forget about whether you supporting the society in her

so what what is a wonderful for wealthy and what is for
wealthy is the person who has enough for is the one who doesn't have enough
so
two great moguls of industry or the poor because they never had enough
someone who is voluntarily he's satisfied
what the hell is wealthy
so it really has been tv was good
has to do or say mike

so the third allows you to use to enjoy serenity that this particular
part
doesn't really apply so much to us it applied to go hand in his time at his place and his monastic life
but
can also be applied to us is pounds according to our situation
he says the third awakening is to just enjoy serenity this is to be away from the crouch and stay alone and a fireplace this is very hard
there is an essential to enjoy serenity in seclusion
luna said
much is one had the joy serene not doing he should be away from the crowds and stay alone in a quiet place
the still places where indra in the other day was me their interests often been interesting and a punished by leaving behind your relationship as well as others by living in a quiet place you may remove the conditions of suffering if you are attached to crouch you will receive suffering just like a true
we had that attach a great many birds are killed her
if you're a fan by more of the matters you will drown his troubles
just like an old elephant who was stuck in a swamp and can't get around this is called to enjoy surrendering and secretion this is a mixed bag
because he fighting for his done much
that in that to and
lay people are
watch above
it's interesting
i remember
just as a boy thought about this when the birth should untrained too many birds they ruin a tree
methods that really so if you've never seen that
right when i went to houston unfurnished the there is a bird sanctuary great bird sanctuary paid island
oh shrouded by any lake and it's like ah i feel right at dusk all the birds returned to the islands and so mockery and to spread thin of primitive bird sounds and sizzling be
thrown back into
when will it be safe
he does that really
then a crocodile
unlike regular but failures
but are these trees this a burns later and then strongly that because so many birds are always slightly home every day
no
with
serenity and tranquility and serenity is like some
the sun going down
at dusk
the whole sky the worlds theory tranquility is like a very clear lake without a new ripoff
there's a few aspects but hey
he said to enjoy serenity
very complete serenity and tranquility
ha
when he made
fresh to have a calm mind
i and
anything upset you
that's what kinda girl she will talk about touch it out and
a having several might be settled
i'm a senior horas
and
but it's also true that if we're always if we need to always have people are as we always need to is reading on somethings and were were attached the momentum of my life
and we can't stop he was something wrong
so
how did you shit sometimes when i'm going down the freeway and light know taking children or supporting the car had to stop is nothing around is nobody there and he returned to build with
the momentum of your life is stuff and he's just there now in totally unfamiliar territory
where do you do
where are you
a factually that's where we always are but because
we keep our momentum kinds were skipping along the ground
but actually we're always in that place of mystery
or
ah the pump ah
is not driven by momentum
so we fear of our lives and in and into the momentum of her life from really think well what do we do next
what's next much left because if his laughing left them were lost
so wonderfully my closet just been in our thoughts
we don't worry about this nest
everything stuff
and then we can start again with the momentum but how do we carry that stillness tranquility within our momentum

fruits
so the fourth away today he felt diligent effort so this is the contrast is a christian pounds each other
one is tranquility of doing nothing the other is diligent efforts of doing something
this old gods
so the buddha said if you want to enjoy
oh i'm sorry it before the wedding can be intelligent desert it is to engage ceaselessly and wholesome practices in other words continuous practice
this is what is called diligent effort for it has refined it without mixing in other activities to keep going forward without turning back ah
a slogan of geology
continuously practicing showed as practices the center of your life and therefore your voice know what you're doing
even though you stray you know you your fail or whatever you always know where you can come back to
the practice is always open and he just come back
so
the effort is to continually practice in every situation so in every situation said what is how does how does this practice
the of on how is this practice
what is my practice now

sure
laguna says if you let children as if is too difficult that's why you deserve it is like a threat of water scarcity threw a rock by constantly griffin
if your remind continues to slackened and is like taking a break from hitting stones before this park
he can't get fired that way
when i'm speaking of the trilogy effort serves as a stable years moment by moment
a striking the cells year to get a spark sense to set a fire
so
it's just like keeping the frame i've actually
keeping the flame directed in a certain way so as don't get out of hand learn a forest
ah
in a your way without bring of what's around you
or without attracting
unwanted circumstances
so it's really like vision my experience has been
if we're continually practice blue and how bad i am or how would i do wrong or how i go off designs i continually factors
ha ha ve anniversary therapy
because practices to be in accord with the universal order
a crashes can be in accordance with the universal order
what else can we want
who are for the fifth awakening is not to divert mindfulness
as
mindfulness is it is also counted as faith
my thoughts in of course
my for decisions
sir
are you maintain right fast
he says he desired the diamonds so you don't lose it
is to make a red sauce from national reflect
my foolish
i can do to say much for she is a good teacher and for good health there's nothing like not the my knowledge if you practice this the robbers or desire can't into you therefore you should always maintained by coalition yourself if you visit you will lose all marriage
what is your mind what your mind foolishness when your mindfulness is solid you will have be harmed even if we go into the midst of the robbers and the five senses just like wearing armor going into a battlefield so there's nothing to be afraid of it has told not to neglect my foolish
sir
are various kinds of armor
when but even still have fun
a sooner but that clear otherwise
to help to protect yourself and one of the best ways to protect yourself is not to protect yourself
to just be open
ten
a valuables
marysville
former such as stiffness
are you know
a we are stiffening of our own her buildings in emissions america and in california to withstand earthquakes which is good
but
after the big tokyo earthquake
many many years ago frank lloyd wright does the tokyo grand hotel on rollers
resident stiffness he built in rawlings said if the building with will be flexible move and last fall down
we also say the tall trees are very stiff are easy to push overs but grass pins in the wind
and you can destroy it
not destroy by an ounce of
creditor and possesses so yeah
it's interesting
when your mindfulness yourself you will not you to go into their midst of the average of the passengers so i fresh building is an important factor and certainly the most important factor in sofia
most important factors as it is flexibility
cannot be stiff and think that you're holding of something edifice
through a muscular
a famous
the off balance and flexibility
and away you hurt our self-indulgence is through stiffness through resistance
that's how i heard of circumventing if we were have flexibility you'll hurt yourself
but that's that's when you have to learn through the hard knocks of
finishers the weight and internet and neglect mindfulness like what am i doing now
minimum angela that my foolish
no fear is the mindfulness of
the fork is not going into the mouth and mouth is now opening and now the for again from the hand of human dash one aspect of on foolish
but ah
it really is what is practice now
how do i practice in this situation when this when i'm having a terrible
are you refer somebody what is practice now
if my foolish well what are you know
donna haraway
the express the dharma in this situation
ruth
ah
so the shift awakening is to practice meditation
dubai turn without being confused is called stability in meditation so
stability is kind of summary
somebody has various meanings that parenting stability
when we hit in the full lotus positions this is a com
the regret stable position because it's a triangle she a triangle the ledge and you're behind
so cough and the struggle is very stable and allows the mighty to arrive through that stability because you're not thinking about something afraid fragile situation and you letting go of a drop in body and mind for the speak
and ah
stop thinking about something
in summary is your natural fit i'm like even though smash state of mind
did you natural state when it's not obscured by interference
but foolish
summary of stillness and summary of movement
stability predictability first-team coach
am shattered
knowing where your center is and how you move or shift from your center in balance
so as foolish as much if you gather your mind it will abide instability
one definition of to she is
gathering the mind
i'm by this author catherine body mind and breath
or so for being one with the universe
the universal order
if you get your mind you will and abiding stability then you will understand that birth and death of all things in the world
basically for used to be aware of the arising and ceasing of phenomena
the rising in seasons of the breath the rising and teaching him how everything appears and finished to appearance
so you you're contemplating the impermanence of all phenomena
your continued to endeavor and practicing their as fresh as special meditations and a their stability your mind will not be scared he will be like a well-loved house or well built in batman which will help you maintain the water of understanding and keep it
play ground which fell stability and meditation so ah
right
containment
you have a bank and the moisture the water
a
a
stability is contained within that and back the test the son because leaking
when used myself wandering and you start seeing else extraneous
unimportant things and then
you old shop
so the energy that all that energy which is contest which you to experience with the city's offense and and veneer attention to what you're doing just dissipated

show
summary is offered like concentration
so what is concentration there is concentration on a single point
can really read a bush on meditation message to concentrate on a single point to the exclusion of everything else but that's only one aspect indentation of of transportation
this offer concentration which is not focused on any one particular thing but his total concentration love
effort
the simply opening the eyes open the years
opening the map
and letting everything being she intends to dish at once
so you opened your eyes and see the whole room with are trying to see anything
that concentration
big my concentration
and then what it or remove you can pick up for is picked up
who's
the seventh awakening is to cultivate wisdom
it is listen contemplate practice and say and that realizations
the bush as much if you have wisdom your trip you're free from green fuel will always reflect on yourself and avoid mistakes that he will little liberation and the dharma https if you don't have we can do you need to be a fall of the way nor a lay person and crush lakers and software for
other the way but
now in those days the lay people and after the stay supported the much why that
that's the usual
a paradigm is that was preventing to support life in berkeley zendo facility for old thing
we don't have to dunker that support for simple in the much everybody
contributes to support so that a different parallel
and indeed listed as reliable vessel to bring you across the ocean of old age sickness or death is a bright lamp a bridge a light into darkness of ignorance innocent actual attention for all of you course it is
sharp axe to cut down the trail decision that you can deepen awakening through the rest of a machine that impression and practice if you're illuminated by wisdom even a few years your physical eyes you will have put their site inside this topic of great wisdom so puffy
had her for a special wisdom one is the wisdom of
the mirror wisdom which
everything is reflected without distortion
so we rarely see
without distortion because to me something is a distortion
just thinking about trump is a distortion
because we always clear picture of what received for to be able to see without creating a distortion or picture
if a cold clear thing as it is which is rare
and then if the wisdom of coffee in which we realized that brown safe
well exactly the same we all have the same ah
basic nature
then the wisdom of discernment is the wizard had realized for all different and appreciate the difference in office
shelby quality and difference is where we tend to juncture are recall the indifference is very little damage moment
and then
the wisdom of for the perfecting of action when these three wisdoms are in harmony
her actions express their deficit
so the information in the last one is awakening to a wedding is not to be engaged and hello discussions
another translation is idle talk
we just simply don't get engaged to choose to invest the last one
stop gossiping stuff especially if you know what you're talking about
tennis or spanish realization can be free from the and discriminatory thinking the thorough understanding of the true mark of all things she felt that to be engaged in our discussions political regime was talked about dishes
adventures group of intellectuals sitting around drinking coffee in a coffeeshop expressing the essence of them
the i
yeah

controversial issues if if you get into whole discussion
your mind will be scared you will be unable to use that any donation even if you have left the house households so you should immediately behind scattered nine and the hello discussions if he wished to attend the joy of from anything you need to cure the chickens of hold discussions mistletoe let be in our discussions
those you should just brackish keep your mouth shut
africa year ago she has to pay for them just shut your mouth to sit down and structure know
so those are the age
and as the usually stay away and each awakening contains of age just each one contains on the other fellow asian practice one he realized the of the other seven are there as well because there are supporting each other for all aspects of the same thing
so when one is prevalent the others are there
million
but there
and so on each awakening contains all eight
this was just there are sixty four orphanage when organise a practice thoroughly than ever is countless when they are practiced in summary there are fifty four
these of the last words were to shocking from the buddha the ultimate definition
live in the kitchen he said have been on the fifteenth day in the and interesting from much you should only endeavor wholeheartedly to search for the way of the version all things in the world with the bear emotion or not are insecure and bounded to pay now all of you
you be quiet dinner speak to of passion and will crossover this is my last definition to you have an average and standing in further the buddha in a one and then don't have enough given the bar but
so
hey uncle
a lot of territory for
how how we become a dental practice
some say she like i can posters a and to move
so you have any questions and we i agree on a tangent merchant
as far as a passenger and california is is a terminus is great and it's a term usually use thumbs for the finish to feasts
put finals
ha ha
i guess it's just
has and used to were already go fishing
doesn't go
yeah we think is enough for a zillion to say not to seek fame and fortune given that he went to china and for had this new form of the and how they had a lot of positions with playing with his life had some muslims
server project your question and you're running to stage on the fame fortune gdp i mean i assume he didn't actually do that they must've done something else to get for mr had some passion and ambition different was reading actually less to turn out the way without seeking fame fortune which to me since it was just this week
consider struggle questionable
we're in china he saw these people who have
we didn't have the qualifications try to get with to give them
another trend to grasp
recently in they didn't deserve for his group token james
was due to him
nov
hidden promote itself to get some credit but people supported him to death three bible
in someone who buys and wages as you can do this and this became from japan to
ah that if you have money know you could buy an average dip sandwich and a in recounting of make yourself into a famous person
and you could bribe a teacher you know
he was fairly common for a teacher to give a portrait of himself tourists
i'm leaning the federal
so something you can be most welcome to the teacher mission can i have reported than the wouldn't say no movement of an incentive the able to produce the portrait as if they had been you know i've given this a leading the center of the teacher she as well
thing i started with even for hours to finish
the he inherited of his jonah
so the just can find in friends through surreptitious means
we're just working for for the just
doing what you do just an order to get ahead
for them were talking about the we were there just practice

oof
this is other related question you start up talking about desire yeah and we talked about desire and the intention club dish or the two aspects of the same thing or the different yeah no desire to the said the great fire and thirty confided in the direction
the everyone can have the desire for a home illusory
things and we can have the desire for the way so if we have designed for the way from wasted in mind
hence the lender in the realm of will we held desire although it is it's true desire
rather then
a summer
a foolish desire
for desire he can the addition if you eliminate desired just become you know
flip food
when desires going for fifty shillings you feel alive in a way that no matter what it is for the moment
ah but
you desire a family of unfulfilled desire
please mind is like even was or and ah foolish designers are more likely flashes you know and so we get hooked on
getting you know
more strange things in order to get the adrenaline going
which is very satisfying for the moment but ah
desire with child into basic man is left some exciting in that way than more even
so is more boring
maybe but i'm really not really
looking for and purchase to be boring
on your phone chargers would be boring
born decide i is a gap
i phone

whenever you bridge the gap isn't one boy

when he prefers by second
