you can do that so we have once we know what we're doing
or let go of
constraints
we tend to and work
curiously and let them work appear let to work
you and the activity become one of the anxiety is com
at the same when
reserving in gender
to to set a pace
which
if we know what time the meals is to be calm
served and how long it should take and we say well we should be done by this time
and you just
let that happen then the referring a patient with which you'd do the surfing is easy and relaxed and yet is not too fast and is mouth too slow
if we hadn't heard feeling than for gets uptight to i have to i really understood maria time you know land were sitting there waiting for the next day because the rhythm is off so
and if it's too slow to bridge the they're discharged kind of drooping and with the
i have i wish to serve as become which and get here and the other way when a here so to find just the right pitch how'd you find just the right path to be in each moment to be in each step so that it's actually a pleasure to serve and
is not a hurry kind of i'm trying to get done for some prefer which much the purpose it's nice he said if if the meal and on time for this be so that we're not cutting time off of the break
nobody likes to pretend on the street
so to have that to be in our activity can be totally in activity
the listener too fast like to so he comfortable but august done in exactly the right amount of time
so is not skill
snow as much skill had simply been in our body in just totally being in a body
and totally being in our consciousness
and is called forgetting myself
between the for getting myself
and letting
allowing the activity itself to flow easily and smoothly
and
and when we do that even though we may have where is
resistances
and you know my list know i know our minds and emotions are not always calm and at ease but when we allow ourselves to flow in that way i'm minding our emotions and feelings fall into place and we can forget everything else
and fuzzy mr same way
when we
i always like to say when we
shit that when we give a suggestion instruction
he recovers from surgery and destruction we become
physical everything else we're giving us observe in restrictions you not thinking about your friend or somebody you hate or the bad things that happened to you are here
the good things that happened to you you shouldn't be giving us to shift being one for treasure being one was the position of putting your whole body and mind into the activity
and then you can forget yourself
and then you keep giving yourself instruction for forty minutes
fashion that is being a lump know from figure people used to refer to ravines rice bags you know sitting in a row
if if
you know
in one sense you know it you maybe i've forgotten yourself but there's no energy no effort in it is no spark pleasant be alive
and a vital
matches you know being a lot of play
so the energy and
my television is
the active side and a letting go is to pass side so active and passive or balancing each other totally perfectly balanced
if you flood
you know
when we're sleeping another three the hardest
so we just slow there's no vitality
so although we are doing forty minutes of city it's not really surgeon in in the nfl a fundamental way
on anyway i want to
is and coaches do corruption theft
very interesting
oh
when i open nails
semi against my have found a home for to by a guy named norman schaefer and have no leverage
this is a day and night in his chili hall
the little group sits cross legged
i tried to forget myself pressure on the task
but the week goes by without enlightenment
nice achy and tired of making the effort a woman asks this morning why am i doing this
i know better and to try to answer
when i open my mouth he will be for lunch
hector

so he talks about his efficiency he gave reasonable korea if you went to read college importantly the seventy one
he says the bodyshell away his many ways but the most important point
is to become one with others to be kind and to have a warm feeling for others with your mouth or with your life to get teaching were to give material things without any idea of giving or receiving tishkoff true donna
it is to give
and receive without any thought of giving and receiving we don't say
ah would you give me a receipt
families and give something
we don't expect anything we shouldn't be here just hearing
get it
just receiving ten
expressing appreciation the hardest thing you know many people as to receive
sure shouted the for other people's to give
but
ah the knowing how to recession thing is very important because otherwise it's pretty hard to you
so how to accept kindness the how to accept
ah when people offer something

so i'm giving him a giving and receiving just giving with a warm heart to help people in various ways making tea or scrubbing the floor or cleaning the restaurant without any idea of his rescue is dirty
is the body search away just with a warmth that feeling you clean the restaurant in that way you can help people and you have no confusion are suffering this is how you extend in practice into your everyday life
so
this is always a big question for people how do i extend transit practice into my daily life
just let go of self-centeredness
is to extend your practice into your everyday life such an echo of selfishness and self-centeredness come can be generous
is a special the no special thing that's ah
as then practice in your daily life to just simply letting go of ourself and packing the wormhole and realizing that
those we practice with
other people with people and with stones and trees and
ah the and our surroundings so we played myself put my surroundings is myself
myself minus my surroundings it's not myself

this is why often with the japanese
a boorish i wish that are like
the village reject during practice by yourself
that's because if when we do practice by herself
you can easily lead the isolation
and then can easily lead to sell steadiness which is the opposite of what practices about
the ship reservation fee for herself
so the reason we practice is we come to practice for south for herself but once we practice matures we understand that practices matches for myself
practices to forget myself into
merge with my surroundings
so that whatever i do
has a positive effect on my surroundings
and so each one of us
the practice of each one of us is that and porterfield
and to feel the influence
if we're always cranky and nasty that's i feel the influence and this is what we project into the world
if we have loving kindness and compassion and generosity that slowly projected into the world and it affects our world so what we project is what comes back
so we're always protecting something on the times moment a moment although lower activity which created a an effect on our surroundings
so sometimes we show fledged as much the you know since a practice just it looks like we're just isolating herself a research him but actually but influencing each other and we're encouraging each other and the
and the energy and influence of doing so sheen
has far reaching effects which are not visible
there may be visible to some but not visible to most
concert in is not simply a personal act
we don't do something just to help myself
he has in is a generous act which connect ah
as to the whole universe
and we realize everything in the universe is practice exam

if we just feel that we're doing version in an inanimate world this match has it

and shut the restaurant is dirty windows
she was if we have some special intention
doesn't work
when we have and
this is what is really
i think important about salmon or so g
so gee is like it
when we all get out there with a broom and thick rounds the sun is a working
within a more extended way
so ah
although we know that we have a project to do
demolition the project and still we want to get it done
but when we actually started doing the work is just doing the work
we do the we do the work for the sake of the work
not necessarily for the sake of the result but if we do the work for the sake of the work because a wonderful result
if we just exhausting for the sake of zazi him without feeling of the result from worrying about the result is a wonderful result
but if you think i'm gonna do that and for this result is no result
this
you're actually blocking
imagine
so there's no special purpose when would wash the windows
although figure clean
we simply put that the temperatures
i'm washing the window and the activity itself
i heard she says when you clean the bathroom
you simply put the at the emphasis on the activity itself and you can enjoy it if you say oh this stinky bathroom cleaner make it smell good under that's okay but can you forget that and you simply do the activity
for the sake of the activity
dennis
no problem
this no self in it
this is how we practice without self
you know there is self
there is no self
mm we let our time an
and nature
do you work
it's this activity
so when we let go of
aggrandizement or
pride
ah
with to work with windows packet windows
are there were actually blocking herself
because we're creating a self
when we say self creating it means that we're creating a self of time
and the self and stands in a way of
our small self stands in the way of wiping so

so firstly in itself is letting go if we want to get something which simply black version
it's like how do you stand without leaving on anything so the most important the most important thing is what do we depend on
when you work to weekend for and the world and don't to kinda version i to keep on management and until you
peel everything away and
for if can see where he really dependent

so we have many crutches you know we eat with our eyes we eat with our ears
were hungry for our mouth and prayer touch in trash mouth and our ideas
but ah
what do we really need
what is it that supports us than initial purchase
when we understand what really supports us than we can eat with her eyes you can eat with our here's the complete with her mouth kenny with feelings national and our ideas
but until we find out what is really fundamental the most fundamental
we really lost in our appetite

so to the restroom facilities without the cottage to help people are various ways making tea or scrubbing the floor cleaning the restroom without any idea of the restaurant was dirty is the british after way just with a warm could feel feeling you clean the restaurant
then you have no confusion are suffering this is how you which doesn't practice to your everyday life
he says the mostly intimate in another turkey says the most important thing is to confront with yourself and to be yourself and naturally you know you can accept things as they are and you can see things as they are if you have perfect you have perfect wisdom at that time

then he's also says so each time you sit you know it is necessary for you to do your best in your practice anyway if you only set you know the cross-legged position for forty minutes that is regime you may think but that is not surgeon
if it is preparation okay like you practice yoga it is okay but you know the most important point should be
all your effort physical and spiritual
so
ah this is what i was taught
a confession is your whole body mind
oh with all your effort
effort doesn't mean to ah
put a
he fixed his energy is what you're doing he need to find exactly the right level of energy they need
total effort to find the right balance between
as a exertion and relaxation
i'd like to see relaxation but
pictured all
the realization in
relaxation is to fund is within the within the effort
so too
it's like come
the conservation of energy conservation of energy conservation of energy is using should just the right amount of effort to do the most work
it's like when you try to move a rock a big rock and you have a of a poll under the rug for how you both iraq you know he can put the paul and such a way that in the injured all your strength to champion the rock but if you know just the right balance to a pole
whoa
you have iraq and and you have another brick in nepal is going under the rug and on top of the other rock and then you put fall in such a way that is using just to least amount of energy to move the rock
that's what you do with your body is has him he is just the found right amount of energy to sit up straight and continue to sit up straight so that the an interview the effort is not so much is simply bounce and conservation of energy but the energy is freely flowing and know
is excessive
the effort is not excision
but
the work that it does is perfect
she always looking for their pouch the place where
you're balancing and so she goes know the of looks like stiff and rigid but it's actually very fluid
bunch of feel very fluid and at the same time
the form he is afraid
and so when you do in version is continually look for that balance because the balance is always changing always shifting
sure you can initial estimate for the henchmen good or life push my lower back for her and keep my hand over my spine do all these things that is a perfect gift perfect form covered it in the form it's all these
fusion it's not richard you don't need to pour yourself in the country
can go through given a place where to the balances
where's where's the placement balances between the upper body lower body
and vision
grab it goes bit from here
belly three years lower back and at the push that's the fulcrum that's the patient thousand and so you're continually
coming back to that balance
and when you work that way and version
your coffee shop
the simply this body
think jack taking good care of the study

choices each time you set each necessary for you to do your best in your practice better most important by

but he didn't want to explain about our posture
you should use shit
a us on the right side in retford is on his side that for lotus position and and of right foot as an election if this is why it's nice to sit in the full lotus position if you can
but when we crossed her legs like se although we have a right and left foot is actually one so when you cross your life from one like just
you can't tell which is which
because it's just one thing
but itself to touch with the same time
although we have right foot left foot is actually one shirt means oneness of the duality not to and lot one
this is the most important teaching not to and not much her body and mind is not to and that one
you say it's one
that's only half right and if you see as to definitely have right
so as not just to or just one if to and of at once
so if you try to keep his posture the financial difficulty
in your breathing but by the time you get accustomed to the right posture you will have natural keep breathing and both and you put your chin is very important point if you sit in this way in this way to pieces of fish and your head up to call the peak of
but now restart cause of something else if you sit
in this way with your head tilted up you will never gain strength in your posture this is a rather dreaming pasture you are dreaming of something the most important time point is to own your physical body if you take this this posture
something you will lose your body
your body is somewhere else and your mind is too
your mind and body a wandering around somewhere this is not the way we must be just right here to keep point is this you must have you mind and body everything should exist in the right place but every existence is in the right place
in the right way there is no problem but if this microphone
it's just somewhere else it doesn't share with on purpose
so everything should be located in the right place in the right way neither were when you should search
all the punch of your body should be in the right place in the right way in relation to each other
that's the everything on price of the body three hundred and fifty five bones and whenever it is all the limbs and trump his hands of more to be harmoniously lined up with each other and in
a harmonious consumption because each piece is independent
each part of our bodies independent
their hundred report but they all i'm doing one thing together
bring one act together
so

if you continue that trend effective
in that way
you don't have love in your mind it's
cause you a thing

have questions

how do you have he has was he has made that joke enough
what shall you the
you ask question about making enough of an over
can call your friend in yourself
so you should always be confronting the shop and by making enough of an effort

the christian missionaries generous now have to said
hey it's better than i don't know
it's bad it's better than i don't know
i don't know
he's insanely you don't feel like you are
surely you are a ago that he has there's always wore a you know if it wasn't always more than the practice would be useless
there's always more
you better have a her is always more you know everything crumbles
whenever everything is built from both eventually and so
well with the of dishes right
five minutes later is wrong
okay this is right permitted on the shrine
so would you have to keep exerting yourself moment after moment if you keep exerting is of moment of fluid in know
that's right that's shepherd but you know
everything is falling out of balance moment by moment and regaining his balance for has never
a writer rome movement
we expect that things will crumble respectable that or effort done this moment will give away to the next moment
have to expect a flash why we have to find a are we have to find our place in our way and each moment
there's no extended time
finished this moment this moment this moment
that doesn't just this moment this moment mission in when we followed the breath is just this breath at this moment this brief at this month
traditional right or wrong is simply if i lose my awareness next moment i find my awareness that lose my awareness next moment i find my roof that that's the rhythm of life

think
so i noticed initial test several times he is changing fast pitch you and a
course that gets me to thinking about what about justin and and a half
well that's your best vicky do something good enough let me be your best
not trying to be internationally
the ship tried to exist with present moment by moment
the not trying to hundred your dash and ten seconds
you simply living your life completely moment by moment good enough is all right
whatever that is where where's the measure for good enough
what's good enough
for one person could love me one thing for somebody else kinda person
a person a wheelchair you know is always sitting down and what is what is good enough of that person what if us and for that person
if you don't have any ledge
what is listen to you
so
each one each person has their own
abilities in
you know it's not
there's no comparison that the we should not compare ourselves to each other
we do encourage each other in there are certain standards that we have but
just the ideal and the actual
did you get subject that watched the idea of the actual ideally you have
the further destruction to that is
fundamental way to do something
and then and you have go your own actual abilities
so you you pay attention to your own actual built you know understand it is but you can do this much
you should feel satisfied with what if you actually do
as for everything you know restrict people's past year in august but actually
better so
when i worked with people's past year
i work with the ideal but when i see how they cannot a person cannot
come up to that idea of the be perceived as well the actual the actuality was a first you can do is what you're doing
and as a love
i'm transgender people over and over him forever
i know that the person was found the relationship which is good enough
so everybody has to find their own good enough within the idea
and that's good enough to sink good if that's good to see had of a miracle
good enough as because the feeling well you know some okay but now it's really good good enough in this sense it's really good

for
i know the french ago and wanna read this poem again if your conclusion
day and night in the chilly hall the little group sits cross legged i try to forget myself prefer to the task but the week goes by without enlightenment
nice achy and tired of making the effort woman asks this morning why we're doing this i know better than to try to insert when i opened my mouth that will be for lunch

so new enlightenment is within our effort
it's really we did that he did you not striving for enlightenment you simply making the effort to do what you're doing and that's where the light vintage
if you try to grasp it or even recognize it the illusion
after it means to be unselfconscious
when you're unselfconsciously thrashing
did like himself
