[02:06]
KC is called. First, for the precipitating the result is, then it's quoted here, the venerable Jiu Rinpoche, referring to, which is in Takba Janzen, says, The ways to precipitate, there's eight aspects or eight divisions or eight things, right? There's eight types of ways to precipitate. And then there is the , which is the six precepts. And in addition that, , it is necessary just to say, or in order to teach the , you need these keys, the six and the eight.
[03:27]
You need this. First, he's going to explain the eight precipitating ways to precipitate. There are two ways to meditate are either tight way of meditating, which means dim, or loose, opposite of that, relaxing way, or loose way of meditating. They are bodily and mentally meditating. There are two ways, right? We did, which means, three is a session.
[04:34]
We is subtract, or minus, or subtract, and D means to multiply. Even in a session, you can subtract less or more sessions. According to the session, there was two sessions. the duration of two sessions in your jobs according to the session. But then there is a sedge manager or the kase. The yoga on the eating, they joke. They joke, but sometimes you fast. fasting and ways to do that. As far as diet, play is sometimes.
[05:37]
Jog is the fast. And germ is the general conduct or behavior of the germ. Panyang is East of you, sometimes you needed to get away from the tightness of meditation. And so you just stop that and go walk out and maybe sing a song or just go out and look around and think so that this is called Pagyang. Easy, making it easy, in other words. Then the vital key for the mind, particularly the samadhi.
[06:40]
Samadhi, you change from one to another, another variety of types of things. from flower to maybe a curved eye and from one face to another face or changing all these different kind of changing then the next one is and you should take it as an actor
[07:50]
What is the eight? The eight is the body, mind, relaxation or tightness. Yeah. There's a two. Yeah. Then a session, there's also the duration of a short duration or longer duration session. That makes a four. Sorry. I'm reading your text. Okay. Yeah. And then the food. Okay. Sometimes eat, sometimes, I think it's sometimes you need sometimes not to eat. You know, and then there's a contact with children. Children is kind of more besides eating there are, you know, Park Yang, which is sometimes you can walk or just kind of relaxing, or sometimes stop, sometimes more vigorous, sometimes stop.
[09:04]
Jumping, sometimes jumping, some of this relaxing, sort of those two things. That makes sense. And then mentally that... the changing the view, changing the focusing, the samadhi itself is changed. I think it's important. And then there is a unit of the discipline bar, which is applying the variety of subjects as a nectar. Yeah, nectar is a variety of subjects. A variety of subjects, which means that You can, for example, for the taste, anything you eat it as an actor, or from sight, or for a sense of everything, what you have outside is used as applied as some sort of narration.
[10:09]
Well, once you develop a concentration in meditation, where in activity, any object which arises and then become an argumentation, by allowing your mind to do what we told you. Yeah, like, you come out of meditation, and anything which arises, anything which catches your mind, then you can focus, not become, you know, become sick. Cut, drop, and then it was okay once I didn't do to you. Yeah. Once done. Well, that's the laundry, the line on vector on various objects. For this part, we got the kind of aid. These are called, this title is called, which is aid divisions of the ways to precipitate.
[11:18]
Precipitating. Precipitating results. Precipitating results. There are eight. Precipitating. [...] Where's the water? To the rainbow. To the rainbow, yeah. Then you can cause, you know, and I know modern times, there is not a truth. Well, the sea, the cloud. It's just wild, right? I mean, you know that there is a water there, but somehow it still hosts. Yeah, right. Yeah, to bring it out. And a cow that we will also explain that. The cows, you know, have a bit of water.
[12:19]
Water, what do you call it? Water. But sometimes the cow doesn't give note, you know. And I have to, you know, some ways to feed the cow, you know. Make it manifest, really, what you're talking about, right? Manifest. Something that, something there is already there to bring it back. To bring it to come home. Bring forth results. Yeah, let's say, we do have some sort of, you meditate every day, and you do have, there is a lot of accumulation of results of that. We do have, but still don't really, you know, there's something that's black. We have a lot of mirrors.
[13:22]
Yeah. Yeah. And there is special also, there are some teachings, it's called. Well, then that's the instructions to get in practice too. That's right. That's a word, precipitating. See, Pog-you is a classical word. You means a word to bring. And then there is another way to say it called Dunba. To, let's say, diamond or the original diamond is not really bright. Right? But it's a diamond, right? But then you can kind of polish it. And then it's a diamond where it comes out.
[14:24]
Or refine it. Yeah, to bring the characteristic of it. Natural characteristic of it. It's to bring out. Bring about it. Bring about it. That is part of Denmark. And part of you. So these eight that we're talking about, he was saying, you know, there are eight, eight of them, right? Now, the dark thing, which is the... Kodalipa. Kodalipa. I also says... Kodalipa. Kodalipa.
[15:25]
Kodalipa. Kodalipa. And Lee says that these instructions are common with Kodalipa. And he's saying the same thing. He feels the same. I know there was a Biruba. They have not only been saying that Kodalipa is also saying it. So then there is the six presets. What was they saying? from the basic text there is a meditation which is which is also taking out the poisons that is taking nectar which is taking out the poison is taking the nectar
[16:44]
There are three ways to abandoning. A lot of this. Right. A lot of this. Previously, I explained... It is explained first, these were mentioned in the original text. But when you actually give yogis to practice, when you practice, you needed to There is ways to get rid of the poison of the Samadhi or the view.
[17:54]
That's right. Exactly. That's exactly what they're talking about, the meditation and the view. The difference is between, in the basic text, talk about the meditation of the way of taking out the poison. By way of meditation, it's not first, but here it should be practiced. First is the viewpoint of the And all this is explained in the commentaries in the last of this.
[19:09]
Yeah. Yeah, I was actually just reading. Yeah. And this is the plan, just to give a sense of where it is. So, in the Vajra verses, one of the, this was the, this was Syverston, the mad translation of the, all instructions, the instructions on the Vajra verses. And we got that. And then there's a whole chapter on sexual instruction, which is this, and then there's the path of extracting the poison of you, and extracting the poison of that tissue.
[20:28]
Okay. So those can all be... What patient? A lot different. Out in this book, it's done in the sick. No, no, condos. This is a translation of these old sections on these. They should read. Oh, it's a lot of them. OK. That looks like a piece. No, it's just a bit. Uh, is there a Tibetan number that you're using? Yeah, the Tibetan number, I think, is usually, um, page 274. Now, this is the Philly North Park site. Burma, how are you?
[21:34]
Sorry, though. Page 274. Page 274. We have a Burma too. We can read a Burma too. The red text. It's called a red. It's basically saying that you should know there are sticks. six of them, six precepts. Then, the continual descendants, which means, in order to practice. The practice is, you should know that there is a, you should apply from the six precepts.
[22:37]
There's a small one, a small node. How would we find you six defects? Six times, isn't it? No, you recognize it. No, that's why it's not true. Six are the three grains of woman types in manifestation. Three waves of woman qualities in beauty. Three is it. Did you say that you do the chun management? So there are three types of poisons that can arise with prospective notifications. And so [...] there are three types of poisons that can arise with prospective notifications.
[23:39]
And so there are three types of poisons that can arise with prospective notifications. And so there are three types of poisons that can arise with prospective notifications. And so there are three types of poisons that can arise with prospective notifications. And so there are three types of poisons. And so there are three types of poisons that can arise That's all in the vital lighting. That's the kind of how to unlock it to click or turn on the computer. Oh, it's a kind of a lot of that. Control all the living. Didn't he say something about NETCUR taking out before? Yeah, NETCUR taking out. The NETCUR that comes from NETCUR. Well, there would be a plan from work. In a few times, the NETCUR is of the most elaborate, is it? Yeah, this is where it comes out of this.
[24:42]
It comes out of this. It comes out of this. Yeah, it comes out of this. It [...] comes out of this. Do you think that's all right? Only in the words.
[26:08]
conceptual, another means to went to the conceptual of the pattern of accumulation. Part of accumulation is called a solemn thing, although maybe through there are certain, uh, uh, generates the, uh, samadhi, but, uh, if there is no ways to, uh, uh, there's no, uh, those six, one of these six, uh, keys to, uh, precipitation for some, uh, precipitating, say, precipitating of the result, if there is even lack of those, so, uh, Then there are... So either if you like those, then somebody will not have gone, or if somebody arises, then yourself won't come forth.
[27:31]
Right. Then in the suttrayana, There are the terminology. On the account of accumulation, there are also five kind of characteristics of what we call it. The five kind of governments of generating utilization. There are five of them. Correlating? Correlating with the kind of... Could you rewind that? Could you get somebody to resolve problems or you won't get somebody or resolve those? And what is the cause of that?
[28:32]
Not getting a ball shooting? If you don't like a way of knowledge of how you find your own treasure. Ignorance. Even kicks in it. Then I'm talking about the kicks in. Eliminating the obstacles. Then there again, there are 30 ways to protect, 30 protections. There are 30 of them.
[29:36]
It's necessary to have all these 30 of them here. Now they are listed. Now the important thing is 30 are listed here. Now again they are recorded on Tindin. 30 are listed. The kids have a number of shoes. So I'm not going to do the only thing that you tell me. The other thing is a versus smell here. No, no, it doesn't cover it.
[30:46]
Can you find it? Yeah. So basically, the 30 are, there are Basically, the organization is for some practitioners go overboard on practice and method. And some practitioners go overboard on the cultivation of wisdom. And so for the first, for those who go overboard on that, there are eight chapters. For those who go overboard towards wisdom, there are another eight. And there are 14, uh, kind of antidote services, uh, for the small amounts to go, especially common to both people to go overboard for, or, or the more when that's, well, those altogether make 30. And, uh, maybe, uh, that's it.
[31:52]
Four. So we go through it now, which is exactly what the option function of this kind of do. It kind of goes on for safety. But it can also be found in the commentaries on the controversies, and in particular in the shapeboard. The clear mark commentary is around page 297. So just to give a sense, we kind of think that there are things like that protection wheel, the swimming port, the macro recitation, these blessing things, the viewing of this phenomenon as a current as a mind, understanding of the causal connection, things like that. Yeah. What is it called?
[33:00]
I'm sure. Thank you. Thank you. So it's those who go overboard on that and those who go overboard on this one. But to the Sun Jun, there's no panceres. Does that mean like doing nothing mechanically? It's not hard to breathe. You might do 100,000 cross-cations to remind yourself there. That's kind of what it is. Well, these are more specific things. What is going overboard in the method? So, like, if you don't have a good method without a system? Oh, I agree.
[34:00]
It's like you're so concerned about a central being, you know, you're missing out on a central being yourself in some ways. It's outside of it. But what's with people who go overboard on all fortunes? I mean, well, those... There are four teenagers in common that work well for some month at least. Oh, for the answer that it works easier. Yes. I see. They are probably... They're 8, 8, 16 and they're... 14. Yeah, so 30 now. So 8, 8 and 14. Are those people who are... That's different from two in one, which is called Tsum Jiu. To him, there's no , right?
[35:03]
But those two, overboding these two, Each has eight ways to protect. So eight times two is a dream. And what are those specifically for those people who are nested, for them is to generate There are, something is a devotion, and in general, there are eight of them, for the Latin meditator. For the wisdom meditator, what is it called?
[36:13]
There are four types of awakening ways to protect. And then they can get us. Like a laundry technique or criminology. It's not common to the other schools. Yeah. Or waking. Yeah. I'm sure. Explaining. Explaining. Yes. Technics are kind of, you kind of, you know, eventually and the terminology applied only in this lande system, you know, you can't go out, you know, then there is the nangadu, which means that, du is what one called, basically, demons. There is an inner din, to,
[37:14]
To help or to purify that demon, there are four initiations. There are four initiations to reverse the inner do, which means pride, maybe, or some very pride generating or things like inner do with Through the processing, your mind is sharpening more and more and more, so getting kind of overcoming more and more, but still, you know, gaining, you have a relationship to ego. This heavy air is still there, so those are called inner depths or odious. So those are subdued by a way of four environments.
[38:19]
Not only the environments, but one is a da. That is a da, which is sign language. You have a sign language that you communicate with the deities, with the sign language. Through the sign language, you can get it. overcoming obstacles. It's a kind of instant thing that's important. It's not talking about the environment that is where the agent appears in front of the person and then you give him a sign. Well, they are, yeah. These are just only ways to solve the problem. Only these kind of problems will happen, not only the under-practitioners. It is only Mahanyo kids, under-practitioners, would have very intense, bad people.
[39:29]
And then to solve that, then these things come out, right? Should I give a little bit to you, remember me? I don't even know. I mean, they give kind of step by step. Good enough. So the sign of the race initiation is together with five left fingers and press them with the right forefinger. Something like this. I don't know. Then the sign of the security destination is joining the tips of the left thumb. The third finger making the triangle form of the Indian Salupo A, that's in Manche's cube. This is the source of the week later, which is the fourth day there, the sun and the mind placed on the tongue, asked, what is this? So when demons come to bother you, this is like a cup, and you can go, what's this?
[40:35]
Oh, is that a real thing or not? They don't get it. They don't get it. They don't get it. They're trying to some water. They're trying to some water. They're trying to say, that's the syllable A. They're not the pastoral. No, no, no, they're singing it out. This was a good one. The Three Moon Initiative pulled the right forefinger in the left chest. They still saw that. Put the horns up. Yeah, we're trying to do it. It's similar to the rising and meditative concentration of those infants. So why am I going through the map? Even the map would interest me. I want to ask, what's this? And as you know, this is the union. Yeah, that treads in the house. And then if they, so you do these successfully, and then if that is known, show themselves the fourth position, then the right-hand finger will print the sky. A sign similar to the Buddha body will be very bliss, which is identical to the taste of all of them, like the sky. Ask, what's this? If it's Amara, it is impossible, but you know.
[41:36]
If it knows, request attainments because it is the chosen deity. Now the mother can give it. So the mother can educate it. That's true. [...] I was writing the ear text in the Adams.
[42:46]
Maybe some other information I'll find that you won't be able to understand it. I will find a bio. Now it's talking about the Dao. It's specifically talking about the which we call it. So what is it used to? So a person of wisdom, Dao Rung Chung Yee Sheet. Da Dao Ranjumi Jishi is specifically generated through this type of meditation. Through this type of, taking this path, only will get it.
[43:55]
There's no other ways to get this Ranjumi Jishi. That's specifically the Vajra path. Or Vajrayana? Well, it's, uh, in the path of the second path. Oh, yeah. It is a unique view generated to accomplishing the path of the second path. In fact, the second path. How you generate is this wisdom, this specific wisdom is generated by way of emphasizing yoga.
[44:58]
Yoga is emphasized through prana yoga and sajnigilata. So to penetrating the vital points associated with the larger channel mandala, this view is generated. Now where is going to arise this particular wisdom? So it is generated independence on this kind of mind. So it's generated as the queer nature of one's own, or one's own queer nature.
[46:01]
I'm just talking about it. Sorry. Sorry. There is a fall. Emotion itself, I think. Emotion. [...] Yeah. Emotion. or self-reliasing questions, self-reliasing concepts of the calculus, and self-reliasing non-conceptuality.
[47:15]
Nishi is a kind of a uh uh night and uh wind uh uh gathering and uh the uh really says here look yeah get to the town for the four or another one there's The third one, I'm not sure about it. The fourth one is the subversive non-conceptuality in conjunction with clarity. That's right. That's right. That's right.
[48:25]
So on the condition of the accumulation of the first wind in mind, at either the five letters associated with the five classes, uh, to talk to this part, or, [...] So through the, through the gathering of the, through the condition of the gathering of the body.
[49:30]
Yeah. Through the gathering of the ways to the wind of the might. Yeah. Might. Okay. [...] So, in other words, they are kind of one or two sides of a coin. It could be like plants without one, could be fine poison. Yeah, very precious. Thank you. Could be five.
[50:32]
Could be five. When you conquer... five poisons. The symptom or the some kind of sign that you can press sign of those overcoming the five poisons. We will have a tonal. Tonal is more like a more stronger realization of experience. And milam is a nicer kind of like a green state. You will get it. You will get the green state. You mean like You change like the... Changing progress. Yeah, the progress. Your progress. Yeah, that's right.
[51:33]
Your progress is only at the beginning stage. For the yogis and yoginis, you will have good ones. Something, you know, while you're awake. Something that... Something that lasts. So, in kind of a random manner, it was generated a faultless Clarity and internet But it kind of comes randomly Right So, inter-media And it's called the Sengdu Nye And it's also called the Sengdu Nye And it's also called the Sengdu Nye [...]
[52:51]
So, when you truly put emotions, they become excellent, then you have a king already built it with. Second of those is the 12-old age. That's it, be careful. So, when the wind is accumulated, the wind and mine are at the lower tip of the rousing and long enough channels, then the wind kind of has like the power
[54:19]
of a razor blade. Try it. Put it up there. And create it. And the very gross conception of grasping, the grasp of the graph can win it. How do you know? It's kind of bigger, bigger, stronger. Oh, it becomes stronger? Yeah. But for some, it becomes a grosser. Grosser. I will put down the side chain. I will put down the side chain. Then the Shiva gave me the minute. Therefore, that your Shiva, which is the kind of awareness of a thought, it cannot stay even for a moment. For a moment. So that means that, you know, you get some sort of caught up with your mind to, uh, uh, particularly to treat any kind of problem.
[55:40]
That's the whole version of that. And that's really mean getting too strongly down the wall. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. These are the views that arise. Yeah. I don't need it. This will arise. Do it. Continue and whatever comes, just go next. Don't stay there. Just proceed. Yeah.
[56:47]
So when the fault was clearly an internet, it was generated in the main name. So in the root concept, so from concept, uh, concept [...] And through the... Through the samsara. Through the... It's pure. Like... Chippanyi... Chippanyi... By the existence of... Existence... By itself. Pure by its existence. That's the third thing that you have?
[57:50]
No, the third thing is that the next thing is working. So, you want to put on from what? Nandor, that is. Just the thing is, from the conception, it generates the super Nandor, supreme Nandor. And from the samsara, it evolved by its nature to choose the kudvin samsara or the nirvana antidote. It truly existed, so existence could be a period of time. Yeah. And from concessions, it's all concessions with love. Okay. Beautiful. That was kind of an abstract from the root Tantra statement. The next one is Nishi.
[58:51]
Nishi. Pardon. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, let's call it horizontal. Which is the gathering and the tro is the emanating or generating. Your mind and your prana in and out. Explains that on the base of the central channel and then which is the tip of the channel means the inside of the hollow inside of that hollow looks like a hollow inside of that is a new thing
[60:14]
At the beginning, that enters your Gwana and your consciousness enters into that. By entering that, it causes Siva Seda Chung-shin. To be Siva Seda Chung-shin, the awareness is, the clarity of the awareness is kind of little damp. or not too bright. But however, the duration of that experience is longer. So therefore there is a kind of shine. Shine-tengpo is a kind of not so pure shine. if you continue that again there's ways to generate
[61:44]
I don't have the unmistakable, clear, and empty Samadhi from the land. I don't think this will be an empty Samadhi. So if I buy the non-preception Samadhi, Again, it becomes a, not faultless, but the sky. Right. What can happen by meditation on one form that may be able to do this formless realm with all people? And then they were saying, you know, that in generally, and Tutriyana and Ineliana, they said to you have a...
[63:14]
you know, they're always in, meditating, right? They pointed out it to one another. What is it to me? Yes, thank you. Downness. [...] And then where is it? Agitation. Agitation. So there are two things that I usually need to try to be aware of it and try to get rid of it, right? In this practice, by the other practice, you take this. Your plan and education. This will happen. I'm using it, but because of it happens to you when you do that, it's in practice. You just press on it. So in other words, do not fight with those two Chimua and the Garibas.
[64:20]
And go and pass that. So then when it comes down on the other side of that tunnel, it's sort of sticky. There is a light. What happens if you speak there? Oh, in a way, you read it out. Number 34. The point that's being made here is that these are actually generated through the tech. So it's not that there are rising drift and environmental activity, but as we recall, these are the effects of different kind of impacts on the channel of the winds occur, which is all at the moment different kinds of work with it or adaptation.
[65:32]
Well, what exactly they're saying is that in this concept of text and the language and philosophical language in here on Vajrayana, they do agree in this system of The mother that do have a title is to talk about Junshen and dreaming Junshen is possessing the mistakes or error or flaws but actually dreaming is without flawless samadhi.
[66:33]
But flawless samadhi is what they think is to actually produce from the folding samadhi. So what do you do if you're practicing and the education arises? What do you do? Do you focus samadhi or do you just... You just pass that. Which is kind of... So it's like that thing where they say with the clouds, if it comes, it's like a cloud, you just blow through it? Yeah. So you need to pay strict attention to it, like in... Yogi is to study carefully with these texts, terms and meanings and step by step.
[67:44]
So you get a lot of educated himself, right? And then kind of apply this. And then you can do that. Oh, yeah, yes. This is this. Oh, yeah. This is so good with these kids' texts. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right. So it's the realization of these things, like afflictive emotions, are a bona fide part of the practice. When you're doing the practice, you will have. Afflictive emotions will self-arise, and you just... And that's actually a good thing, because even though it's... So you are getting yourself arising something from you. Yes, I just thought that if you know what I'm getting, what is called, you know what I'm getting.
[68:50]
Okay, what's your way of speed if we stop? 428, 960. Who put it in line 6? Did you know that? Now we have V3D soak on Monday. Can you just add? Oh, I think the next one is the right tip. Then we're gonna get together, six to five. Oh, okay, it feels like it's gonna be like, we're just six to five. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Six to five, yeah. [...]
[69:51]
Six to five, yeah. Six to five, yeah. Do you let me know what it says for you? And it's part of the page numbers. I know, but there's several texts in that letter blog. I mean, I don't know what this... Do you think this was the original? The visual of one dress. It's great one here. I didn't miss it one. 4, 2, 3. That is 156, that picture. 15, 4, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3. Okay, I'll just like this. Ready. Like this. Oh, that's all one picture? Yeah. One picture. And it's complete. I'm not listening. I'll think complete. Maybe it's the other one that's incomplete. Now, wait. We'll do that. I'll make some holes. [...]
[70:51]
I'll make some holes. And let's see. What peach is that? There's another piece of it. It's beautiful. This one is gold.
