just as has actually the create some kinds of confusion your mind when you're setting it in english and she's a maybe it's better to have it to them and she's saying actually it was only when it was translated or what was written and was originally done in india was traveling tibet never direct correlations between the words because unfortunately in english with transl
leaders a lot of words that really come out sometimes and there maybe some confusion and also a lot of times some of these names are just used in sanskrit names anyway so it's the same thing is reciting into that your sanskrit or whatever house
i am reminded to all acts
i i just have feelings air is why
have the the time
or if i should just
he says
he will maybe twenty years they've talked down the face
today she's saying actually there's two different benefits that arise by reciting something one is just the benefit arising through just the recitation of whatever the prayer the the verses are and a second benefit arises out of understanding what they are and the hell are bottom have great benefits so you know this
point if you can't really understand what's what's being said by a lot of those words that even just by resigning it has very great benefit is going to do that today actually to understand a deeper it's good actually to look at other commentaries like for example of how to not as common commentaries to think maybe someone is translated already you can find someone to translators and then just to try to understand some
more of those ideas that are presented in there but she's had basically shouldn't worry because there is great benefits arising from
yeah it's the little neck as use in colliding situation
when you go to have to keep
and that situations
autism
i could write to mind of my palm or i could imagine myself tara or actually sank the mantra entre emptiness or or just be polite or not quite sure how to stay there
yeah it's and yet not with edifice because i don't even
this thing actually that time i'm inspired to do everything once but maybe actually that time he do is because you have to be present you know aware what's going on that maybe that i'm in your mind that you can be reciting the montreux of or even reciting the refuge prayers and as you're reciting them in your mind just also occasionally think about
the people around you in the meeting in actually think that when you're saying the prayer the montreux tata for example that this will benefit them and they'll be able to overcome their own obstacles or aspirations that they'll be able to gain rendered into the path of dharma themselves either this time or in a future time
or again by reciting the refuge prayer in your mind just thinking actually it's going to benefit the people around you they'll be able to enter into the the dharma practice they'll be able to overcome sins and aspirations and find happiness too
it's about that cover can always is difficult that time because you doesn't have to listen this
them
yes it's not a half's
now
ah
i'm gonna write because i really liked to sleep less
i am my sister and i'm wondering item as the price
have her
the house of my gosh yes
so i'm wondering if i just eat high tide
like how to find us
next
should just check
why why really good how many games
how do i i kind of of minds
the rights had a mind to well it that was like she has time at our candidate or heskey your mind research is she was able to do that is how physically how he wasn't hey
and so she tells and eyes how
so i'm thinking that i stay high how had
he have physically tire
turns are i just had it that happening
five
the on
are you able to get up early
well usually when i've been hearing this town
it's like a patch has had been working
so that's an array of options
his last
they just so was saying actually the more you think about trying to do something like that when you're not ready though it'll make you more tired
set put away those thoughts right now
and actually got even though because actually just gonna create a physical mental tiredness and create problems for you in this time which that actually when your work it's less you know and you feel like the your your life is getting a little more stable or clear in that way and at that time and not now and she said just really put it away for now but at that time then
see actually if you could stay up a little later and do a practice she said do that like for we can see how that runs and then put that aside then get up earlier everyday do that for week and see how that feels you physically and mentally and you could just practice that for little bit and the that feels good and one of those places then tried to create a practice of doing that and go from there so
she said at a time when your mind is clearer or when your mind's less busy do that is that if your minds really busy if your body's really busy in your mind starts cranking out of these things it's just gonna make your body busier hur mycket tired and it will benefit
is there a best time of a have associated with higher as time here and as direction case
basically if you're vegetarian doesn't matter when you doing any time is fine can of the day if you're not to anyone you meet them better to morning
i'm just from that point of view from the point of view of a a month or in the year basically there's not a real difference however in the lunar calendar the eighth and fifteenth that are considered more special the eight is considered special the sense that it's a day which is more conducive for accumulating mark and actually by accumulate
yeah mark that it makes the path much easier because if you don't have merit you don't have the conditions to practice than there's a lot of misfortune that arises where just lot of obstacles to accomplishing the path so by doing practices on the eighth the eighth is considered a very special day to augment merch so by doing on that day it's good to increase your marriage on the fifth
tenth of the month of fifteen and lunar month is considered a day which is very special for overcoming obstacles and also for accomplishing enlightenment just got him like day so by practicing on that day or so it increases your chances are your practice isn't it augments your practice towards getting towards the realization of enlightenment and overcoming obstacles
so those two days are a little more special in that sense but basically every day is fine and direction game on
if she's been now
that
are you know that ended via the black into the man the black knight which actually in the lunar calendar with the the thirtieth day is considered zero and then the first slivers the first
and also direction it doesn't matter drenching for
i wonder if she can talk about the enlightenment of man and an enlightenment and women and the path of and and a pack of fools and if because of the nature of all women are and their strengths and weaknesses as opposed to man and the
they are and help strengthen my weaknesses yeah and man's castle women's path would be give her actions and get that for
ah it was the first part about the difference women and women wow by their nature and on the my frequent and realization you send them so well enlightenment or are there are there their hats on their own spiritual pillowcase
it's somerset said actually from the point of view of on and practice like a practicing a sudden and meditation she said there's actually no difference between a male and female because actually in the southern meditation when you after preliminary production he recited mantra of emptiness like oceania again of budgets obama will go home and then when you recite that most of happiness your meditation at that point
is that everything including your own physical body your own mental or physical traits
all your physical reality or the five aggregates or whatever you have that the constitutes a human being or constitutes yourself completely dissolves into a state of happiness and that state of emptiness has really the true nature of mine and if we examined the true nature of mine it's not male or female it has just the it's something that superimposed on top of that so in riyadh
reality from the ultimate point of reality there's no distinction between male and female at all so when you doing a sudden the practice that you're starting that is the basis for the practice has been that is that from that state of emptiness that you will rise you create yourself as whatever
so since that's the basis for the practice of the southern practice then there can't be an indifference that can't be any distinction and an are distinctions we have actually is being born as a man or woman in this lifetime she said past me less like that life previous lifetime you're a man and now you're born as a woman and actually it's not your choice that you're a woman this time you're a man last time or
what you're going to be in the future time but due to your own karmic
a accumulation of karma and the defilements that you're thrown into this lifetime to be either man or woman so that's something that you didn't have a choice over but actually the you are a man and your last time and a woman in this lifetime the mind the essence of mind that transferred or guards beings who proposed on to gain a lifetime
i was a man or woman that doesn't have a distinction that i'm a manner of a woman vs mine so from that point of view actually you can there is no distinction to make in practice that one is better for a manner one is better for women it's almost saying i said she heard there are certain types of practice of
process of completion practices dealing with the thing the inner veins of the body and also different elements of the body that she heard that there are some listed some different types of practices which were different but actually she never study them and she can't really say anything about them
what about on your health
happy or you know like
where mother's we have we we have to children and then go out and they work in the world and they have to manifest the cat energy power
in society and have a higher roll and have a hard roll a lot of religions are pretty much male dominated in iraq in women haven't been allowed ah
to hold higher position
so in particularly i mean almost are like that it's very patriarchal in the way that the men have kind of set up while this is how you for input as into prostrations she has kind of been set up that way huh
and and in other religions you know
various things when we can't do because they husband camp attain so that's kind of and a relative level and maybe because buddhism is more relate desolate it's not as applicable to
i'm just want to horn or relative was like women tend to be intuitive and by the hearts and listen to their feelings that
work with that stuff perhaps more than men does that make a difference if you with are working on that stuff or you're not looking at and stuff written
basically says that actually what you're talking about is a worldly view and it's not a dominant view they will we're talking about the difference distinctions between men and women doing certain things are acting in certain ways really what we're talking about there are just worthy customs and world use worthy of societal views or whatever and they don't
when we relate them to dharma in extra and they don't relate if we really practice dharma there's no distinction between men and women there's no distinction of hell we have to practice we should practice that dumb
i mean she said there's a lot of men in this world also and a lot of women who reverse those roles there are women who go out and do things she said actually for her own personal life that when her children were younger and they would cry and in the night have to get up she said if she has to get up herself or would have to get up in the night very quickly it actually made her sick and you disturb her blood pressure whatever and she would
immediately get headaches and would really become sick so she never got up their husband every time that i'm filled with the kids to work and she could do it and he didn't actually he did it in a very motherly way or so and she said actually into that most she's seen people here in the west where you know sometimes the men will stay home and pick her the kids or just another was that the roles reversed so actually it
just the worldly customer that arising from and if we're going to look at it from the point of view of practice we should look from an equal point of view but they aren't distinguished instead actually internet and dharma it the earn vagina does talk about that there is a physical distinction between men and women with veins inside the body and the nature of the way the veins
our place in the body and hell things mood within them but that's just the distinction of showing a physical reality of men and women from this point of your veins and she says really doesn't know a lot about as you said you could ask their some some lima llamas specialized in this idea of of dealing with veins of the body or movement of elements in the body and she said you could ask them
but that's just from a point of view of the physical distinction of on the point of view of practicing really there is no distinction and nothing should be done to her
ah i am i to question the first pie is what is the difference good feelings and emotions
and then to take that will secure their own emotions arise hiring a day saying she's can emotion that sadness sir e r r theme of get hurt or something like that in was a quick remedy to deal with that i understand question projection my ah
when it happens how can i remedy what's going to realize this and professional on ah emotional state england
you know
home doesn't thing actually basically when an emotional state like that arises you know state of suffering or happiness or whatever whatever could be arises at that time the best thing that best way to practice axes was called the giving and taking meditation should really as the best thing to do that if you feel suffering if you feel really sad or you have a great song
the i'm experiencing the stuffing but also many other people in this world many other living things in world also experience that same kind of suffering so that very moment just think that there's something that i have make an example for the sufferings that everyone else in the world is experiencing the same kind of suffering and then just think that whoever suffering the same kind of suffering that i haven't this very moment made my suffering
be the represent representative of all that he knows a day become free of that something and just that one that you feel it takes it away from everyone else new experience it and then let go of that and then also if you feel experience a very high emotional state or state of happiness than at that time also think actually is everyone else in this world really would have would like to have that same kind of happy
this to think actually that the happiness that you have that you wish that everyone else also has it in the world and you send it out to them and she said actually by doing that is not going to make you are suffering go away and also won't make your happens go away right away also but actually what it does is that it plants a seed in your mind that it brings great benefit because your motivation
for your actions from that time on started to take on a very pure form or they start to transform and if you're able to do that it's great it'll be a wave of benefiting that if you see someone suffering i mean you can you see someone who's homeless were very poor or hungry you can give them some money you can give them some things you know it's a very minor thing but you can't really is
distinguished their suffering at that point so you can do that but along with that is very necessary to give to have that meditation the thought of trying to take their suffering away from them just in thought in mind and also when you have it yourself to bring the other sufferings of others to yourself as a dad will actually create a practice for transformation and will begin
can actually into that new know there's just not a distinction guess they're just really isn't i mean i'd had enough there's a word and and free motion
the i think i can think of amina just asking is maybe like he's our hatred ignorance which are just classified as defilements or afflictions of the mine is kind of emotional states put the wording motion per se or something exists you know minutes it's just the word for feeling is pretty much the same
i'm i've asked that others tune up as either studying or not going from promo came up yes two hour session time
that's you
the
yeah did someone doesn't really handsome long as most effective for free
so
here's the he's a three-time be
rock or strong ties in terms of looking after twenty one happens to she tampon forms of stimulation
yeah actually within the twenty one todos there is the white toddler who has the benefit of of bestowing online as to addition for safe as civitas berlin
have had a hit actually there's others that was even actually here in the twenty one there's a yellow top axes for the purpose of long life in the twenty one and next there's other times there have to accomplish different activities such as display activities are increasing our power activities the form of the white tata with the seven eyed white tata actually is not included within those twenty-one it's
assembly line so it is completely different did and it's not within those two nabokov
between the open-source take various different colors men are separate
yeah there are actually there's many teachings many other llamas who had visions of different forms of tata and brought that into the world that are separate from the twenty one so actually the two traditions one of a politician the other of on uma bela their forms of the twenty one todos is their own teaching their own vision of that so there are different from the other than sauce
awesome
the question

sam has
the same
as
can do it actually the two traditions you know the teaching that she gave that was repugnant tisha and forms of the teachers teaching as the twenty-one thought as are all the same except for color their feet of the same each one holds that are hand down each one holds a boston or hand like that so
according to a teacher's teaching they're absolutely the same in that form the teaching of twenty one thousand of meme of ever and they're actually they're all different some actually have six arm some of to warm summer form some are holding skulls are only stored some are holding the bottom they're just completely different so it's according to which tradition they are there were different
yeah so my question am being honest time on premises can come to jeanette impacts and hey that possible worse
within the sudden it's not it's not appropriate but when you finish a sudden that meeting at that point you could do it
this they will make one last question who while this is kind of technical question we've been doing another form of the santa i guess this a target for i think time when prices are in that on how we can carry out on so how this accolade is as far as doing this one are they compatible if we continue our counter with ease
or carry out and counting what a larger from such as i know yeah it's it's somewhat saying actually basically really you know all the teachings come from the buddha so there's really no distinction the distinctions arise actually want to obama has given a teaching because of the vision here she has had you know when they're doing that practice that maybe cutter or whatever due to appear to them
and gave them a teaching through their own vision and then there was distinctions that arose because of that but basically the same teaching as the same deity
so as through their vision or through their accomplishments they got it so basically all the teachings are really the same so whatever you practiced is fine especially in the lower countries like korea township or county and entre really there's very very little distinction whatsoever in the notarial the country there's a distinction at times just in a method of practice and just it was saying that
if the practice the other one that you're doing if you if it's also a lower contra practice it really doesn't matter which way you do them but it was a higher country practice it's better not to mix them because the system this system was created like the different stern
so strong that and it's the way it and it's probably the same room so whichever one that you do just want to saying it doesn't matter and if you do another one you just because the much as the same and it's the same tradition that you just continue
then you deserted endeavors and guy will read it has no legitimacy legitimacy yeah you know even the pray to the twenty one versus the tata when they were written in india they were never written i'm a originally in india so they are coming from the same source it said
i know like out so what would like to recite some of dedication for this weekend
