so i just did they felt by a machine to be stopped
and beauty of its citizens ah spring summer fall or account america
and those are those examples of beauty of to save
unique
you can be a need for things up yeah many hungary rocket components in japan song initiate she's a little beauties not ah you need at all
all japan people knows is the duty of these examples
the important point
to understand during y g e
encountered displaying go to your criticisms as one nine on man walking or hiking english the odyssey nine face
japanese tourists have to give people notice and appreciate that your kill all the seasons on the or definitely knows inaccurate be killed for our our found some of conquest i'm getting ah ah mood you can
about bottom and similar data
what he called the building they ask only that normally floppy or is interface this is how a dog and combined that an essential guilty traditional essential beauty with the pitching
and this expression hey already know face i think many of you already knows how can guess from what kind of a story or horror stories about six dancer tertiary now
finn gentlemen receive the transmission from the fifth and sister can you know was not about yet he was on a passive and yet somehow actually need a shield that transmission and became the sixth ancestor but some monks that
a few scientists have one after didn't direct it
so she found sister asked ah well i'm sure enough to escape
from the last get i don't think recent history credit to
dr i hope
but bounce checks out to start bashing we can get the ball and rove as us evidence of transmission back
ah but you know escaped so fast so many of them stop chasing but only one monk ah
we'll catch up or is he on about things and that person was very strong tough passing through used to be a further
so i'm tryna for it not possible to escape from he or she didn't want to fight that missed him so she put now rove not meet okafor and i ordered ball on the stone and said if we want to
are these things pretty take them and the person said i didn't come to pick up or obese are low and box but i came for the dome so he asked arizona
to teach america
then
actually dancing it was without thinking could have to back without thinking good and bad what is the or is in our face after face onto you
he's got his name to this expression on own face came from this story so hope this means the your face me into reality of our life and that that time countries beyond do i keep thinking
go down the back i going to present
the new prison drama very touristic is remaking thinking
in our our discrimination thinking makes our life into san sarah
you know friendly with you encounter something something with
environmentalists and if really different places good or is it important or i mean grew up process i want to keep this recently and is my position
but it's often it's not easy to make this to my permission so i chased after this
or earth and somebody gave me that not present a sensation ah i don't practice i am trying to stay away from this but somehow know all these things i don't let
him tracking me without my academia
so i become amish i hate this
and i try to escape from this thing so that kind of discriminating thinking
to make me need to run to round after something we want are escaping some see what i want so our life come handy
and we use that's our site of peaceful a stable grand on my life that is called fanfare sometimes we feel we yeah successful and will review and i go home empty beings but why
wow from we are like a hundred and lost or if i a grass and because things are already changing are always changing we us migraine with not only sixty and much more than a five gallon with
that is something
so this garage the thinking on the attachment i'm chasing after one food and this escaping from by thing makes us safer so fat during a said was shit
a find discover it up to the faith before thinking
good i'm pat
happiness
the meaning of this story on this
for generic interface or to get killed or four weeks
i came from of coffee my with teaching or not only my kids is teaching but even from second money are paying the awakening and metropolitan he had his patient to teach you can get back to reality for dharma
took this is ah the deep profound and subtle if you felt that even after i to
a kitsch not forgotten this time
be a reality was to this is difficult to express he was recast because it was or ah
the advantage
oh god i had station to teach but somehow because grandma asked him three times he couldn't say no so he stood up and walked to tangier park and i try to share faction experience
calvin from me
i was fast and don't five bucks think in this process he translated actually experienced and how he express or extreme is why because saw from the very beginning of a petition
after that
the to reality is beyond thinking or
it's or concept chair concept
and yet ah i put that in we have to express
and the extreme fact this is using was under it and so with this miles up from the very beginning as contradiction
and now too so reality cannot be set were expressed how last with the wagon with us and yet we have to use a liability to think using wasn't it as to share the same to pursue our young people have expenses that reality
so that in fact ah you notice
true face means to the phrase lot of empty properties face or be joining last means so you need to discover pocket pistol yankee
of this be five scanned us
how was that a few the language
and ah
the highest center us
in this
a reality can be expressed on a guest on using silence he's
a
can for example that the amount of clarity sidra
one check out that the american to sit with the device and can now communicate open don't do any teach who are oneness
and in this chapter where you're a t asked about over that my couple of the avoid such as and he ah tell me about
how will come into gate of non yankees
and there are many boy set of us and the or is it this and that for example or arising and patient are directly so we need to go beyond christianity and ah find ah need our arriving not good
a chic and all the boys had to about ah said basically the same to these are you p
source code the on a certain geographic kids
but monday she was last a bodhisattva who was asked to see something might just listed ah or you all couples at my said was right but by making
say so you create a hundred key
that is theoretically and reality become guaranteed
before we think geography is not good and modularity is good then
hercules become reality and as if see item like this so i want to a non-duality
this is the same as and and i'm like be so i want to escape or because i hope this i want to make this my position i don't get to become such year did i don't think that create your out that the iraqis so i initially said
yoko into a loan-to-value key which should stop fake anything close our love
we'll start thinking
you will get a few if any language
after the fact manderson said
have you got the meetings children fuck he said know we should not stop using dungarees is still a language
finally after i have to manage actually asked human activity how do you express my extreme is no guarantee
give our guilty kept silent
can say anything then manchester he said
ah what you are such as market city cuties silence is more airprint expression of notoriety
that is a kind of are false or many such than stories including this same century now parties or case
we have thinking to them back
there are many that kind of event stories one of the famous one is the second money ah transmitted data to micro shopper
ah one do a check or money assembly that he'd seen so awesome people expect
she is going to say something he he's going to give some sketchy but at the time he didn't say anything but he did that as to for our
happy so noah noah nice to the that means but the only mark i shut my ah smiled then second recent ah
you know i am in a customer named and all the way show balkans or now you should use foam foam roller you know no one
i can do actually need them
secondary said i have this diorama now i can ask me is that merkel question about so this transmission was done without any speaking
that is one examples and students are things to this month was under examples
nothing for our tonight face means didn't pitching
then fuck investigation between a beauty of seasons and this to reality of all beings ah
you can't be expressed using program gets in our homes our language
so how dog and could say i know that description of beauty of season can be expression of these two realities beyond rampage
i think that is a point of understanding this point this particular point i'm not to work on display by all options police
why should why he wrote points
a meaning of and points for him at buster how how could he combined his ah
to reality or taking them picking off but don't do anything and you know ah nagging place seems contradicted and blogging about himself said it's component
in sheboygan the monkey is the practitioners should not act points
up here old chris
so here's a various doesn't personally
in to make a connection between
this reality or truth beyond the boundaries and ah expression of beauty of
he's using rounds
ah that to took this one of that core ah
and same kind of common story this is a common goal and kick case one case to an old show your ah concoction teach
your story pretty good thing again second when you possibly he said the she didn't she didn't say anything so perfectly she didn't connect to speak
ah the much shook him up
ah it maybe that's cool on one day that one or other one ascended see
my initially struck with our gabriel unsaid
creating observe that alma of that jingle of gang
the timer of the king of the car kingo that is gus
the one of the owner one thing got down from the seat
the again he didn't say anything but manager she said why would i kept science magazine his face
the ah
the kitchen or other
reality search expressed by with through teaching
off this chemo in the secondly
his death
japanese scientists
this is a tactic submitted very kind of our cohen cohen story again
truly i can kind of to be expressed his new damage
but ah
while she was plenty who was a chinese supposed muster ah
composed a basket of each have one hundred coins that became a coffee tea and in
he's fast
is she there must have one zero haunches brass in record setting me on this corn is follows

the unique please from reality
have unique police over yankee do you see question
compania city creation lungs heart lou i'm shattered grew on saturday
weaving the innocent brocade
incorporating the falls or screen
but nothing can be down about the manga she's baking
it can be in in the unique breeze of reality do you see
continuously creation plans are blue and shuttle
we don't the ancient brocade
incorporating the forms of spring
but nothing can be done about majesty's leaking
so once you think this to gotta go out to reform of outlets in our face
miss beyond ah
only thinking beyond the peak so we have to
see i'm experiment see
that it's not possible to speak
kissing marriage but ah he says continuously creation continuously creation lugs how long and shopping with his creation be fighting
each care care more came on by the of creation
so that image is this model creation is working with that ruin that weighting machine
and i know that batteries are bad guy and horizontal threads
ah you know she is she to argue
why how and for isn't that a free
with and of up
and in japanese
oh ordinary chinese chinese in ninety nine you know this about carter said
is like a time long past to present and future and but and a horizontal is like a space so i was in time and space in all different kind of thread ah correct each
a and create thirty patterns on the whole fabric
so ah
this is that image or past four seasons for chinese people
you know about maddow creation is okay to the wayback machine and ah depending on phone
a frick for that kind of and over the current that means with the time and space or things are getting together or is fast and create that are scenery on each seasons
for this is a in age of chinese image of interdependent origination
well i'm correct fitness with time on his face in india image of this interconnectedness is interesting yet
in hopped up a lot in paris or indra yeah get through net ah
also a frick and i'm not have that said in a minute
there's a good for job and to deflect everything we see this network and or other ah do
the other not our school district everything so everything deflect everything is jana happy it's a india image of interconnectedness my network of interconnected dependent on definition
and this image of weaving machine my in the chinese image of interconnectedness how things are happening
he then be apple now elements how things getting together was supply or connect each other
then spring has a job beauties and ah but it doesn't stay you know is that more with activity
so is changes and it does summer though we see a different pattern if i think id
and you know for and weaker so four seasons diffractive changes or in families
i'm this the change is caused by a movement and evaluation with or geeks
but in each year in both four seasons defeat you know so much to each year the same to the rooms the thing for us
so ah eventually fifty four seasons
included both changing
and are also continue continuity sinks are always changing but meteor symptom happens
four seasons are ah no it doesn't change
after losing their past
the we're not talking a future
it is ending up from how we leave we've been destroyed that enough
continuation
but anyway this is chinese image for interdependent origination and this database or the can pin the automation of whole i think is the truth oriented people directly to
so from one side and this is chuck everything is can see there's no independent entity became
the separate from other geeks or line integrated kid so we kind of say
know kissing exist and yet with can counterfeit this is not a that's not exist this each year and the anthropocene month of years now
nothing from emptiness means i've got back into ah
why that religion was
everything you can exist only with integration is apple's so guess no fix safe nature that mean something change this must be changed
lucky's to a sense of into connectedness and we cannot say for me is via existing reactors and form is emptiness but ah and this is also form so we should not neglect to each side so
homes and kindness and empathy for form should not be separate gates are one thing that is ah why it's difficult to understand using the our conceptual future
ten of ah
so for chinese than must us know the change of seasons is a it
the ah korea
image of an example of pythagoras killed in car connectedness
ha
so i think dog and connected with to
the idea of their seasons and it's changes starting stay
in one woman in in japanese four hour notice that donna karan past ah only not only four seasons but we not me but tap and japanese people ah
to divided into twenty four seasons
to for thought you know every two weeks since i'm fifty changes in the theater chains but japan people and also japanese culture hi i'm very sensitive about this subtle change
ha
and yet this change has some you know
duration and connection or cold and and and reserved
so far this season jto city yeah me ah good way to express this ah form is emptiness and in the form that he got to face while with interface in my life
me down will always be and the boys know being
and one of the expression of emptiness is neither be no one on be
and the beauty in chemotherapy
for now you know with find the beauty of its citizens so different phenomena bank or semi rooting for her passing
ha ha green leaves while and of time the of waves
what kind of one pens now if you need is in sheboygan kinda or cause such as our voice over a stream and i thought mountains tokens and they are expanding dunlap
that had my be like finding is this to reality water whereas in athens
that is man has done why don't they could connect your nobility of each season at the kitchen of optional face whatever the a couple of properties
cone shape when she was one she
the transplantation continues
weaving the ancient broken so this model creation is maybe the ancient brooklyn
hm how different it is donkey
brocade incorporating a former or form for spring is here and now so here the ah we've been there
he can ancient broken
this matter of creation ah express each and every ah
philomena fair amount of babies in seasons in this case the former stream everything permanent
he prominent things are express an for this doesn't change
this can i think are kind of quadratic peak idea of each highly families back in time to ah they are voicing these are my dad creations wacko he
leave and really
in chinese character is kim
i'm is
and the this key also means a machine
hundred machine august by in chinese civilization or weighting machine or grew so did he means
or think really to weaving machine
and this key is a work dogan news agency permission for a camper van je
then taught our function mountain station and he got ah
well as production vulcans were impacted the target function
after utterly lost in translation this is such a with something that ah ah
can remember
ah talk aerodynamic whatever here
the i'm back and a working it's working of this my creation in are all these things you know ah
before before a season and we are welcome a seasons
yeah we cannot hear on the zandra but can we compare our rules somehow our mind changes some time now after our long winter and ah we see a fast for our rooms is
our history we've become happy
so i'm like oh are like and
small from ah
ah is corrupted
can you for our john efforts are you can change our life
we are are connected and we're part of this scenery free
so early because it's full of aspirin ah express this he life
you know love also express this is gonna like spinal tap into this game from kind of etc
have that about kira ah he credited that
sitar of wood as last kitchen with that game ah
like before his death she said after my guess you should practice for a my teachings and then within your practice the badass multiple deaths but our industrial based to that cable
during my high out data is always present there was enough practice our practice is it wasn't time and space is he battled through our in our practice or actually piano practice but as eternal life
can be expressed it
that is that's made out with each and every things in a stream i express that timeless spring
so this is done your business and each and every a permanent things are they are you working together
that with that image of this time
oh once your and organs and finally our mattresses but nothing can be done about majesty's region
in this story and the other for that story that the evacuate empty cetera you know i'm city gave a kind of an explanation of the meaning of silence
without the magistrate explanation if on the graphics are sftp barricade didn't say anything
when we don't really understand how convenient is silence
so we need some explanation for this mean besides means
is the case of the doesn't have a transmission with actually the same says
and i have noticed dharma and now i trust miss to map a shop if it this essential we don't understand what got me go put that worth watching the trailer and markers marketing of mine
say within the scientists are disturbed doesn't work that now it was transmitted with the really understand what fuck happened so you know this a reality young damage needs to be explained authors pointed out
using the language
that is a meme of
lucky bathroom
your pilots or of us is or duggan's shovel angel
those are
his majesty the magistrates baking and the you always think the article to be said using glass
using was
so on this contradiction guarantee comes to be a expressed using was and yet we have two bricks explained to point this reality
well use less either way to chance here in understand time
so
ah that is what i'm doing now
hi making
operator asked him with was time to talk talk
ah
the have any question
pick you with regard to walker and haiku is there very significance or relation to the seventeen or thirty one syllables to any teaching
ah be listed you buddhist or taoist or some other key geographies or concerns is
on the japanese culture but not about the sentence that are somehow we thirty nine japanese thirty five set up groups of similar chairs used some reason not to made by four five serve
it's and seventy circus
create some kind of beauty in our mind so it's simply a japanese culture thousand no connection with british and irish or any time you to philosophy
please so it's very quiet to me that you're speaking today as training the pictures like the first time and quite a while so it feels like darren rain and that what what it brings to mind is often one i'm in
a forest or are especially around here with the old trees i'll see a trees it's meaning you know that looks like it's on its way to falling and have this sense that in the time span of the lifecycle of a tree we are a blanket and i so it's like it's on it's way and we appear it you know we can't
necessarily sense that and what comes up is this real like wanting to ask this trade for forgiveness because i don't know if it's gonna make it and yet in the trees as i imagine it where the blink of an eye and it's already falling and i'm just wondering
how that connects to why you're teaching to them
for it remains the order tree for them were in the process of time while eventually but these are you know you could be hundred year old trees that are going to live for another one hundreds of years because the name
but i think it's up to the gravity
i guess
wait opportunity to get there were five five some connection with that but we if we know we bro from away from bro one direction know about twenty two the industry or factory for it's
in with a tree could be upright or mean that is really old for how this tree has could have kinda we're all we need the or other things
oh
well i'm going to opened my mouth
have to use words move but aren't words themselves
why are they any different than the ancient rotate
on words out of the ancient brocade i think so
why we ever be
apart from aren't words part of what it is that
that we are manifesting i think so for example you know our in then kitchen
language are often compared with a funeral on the reality as a moon
founded as to moon
oh you point this one with ah
using the damage so that the the kitchen is we should move we should have seen familiar but we should see them moon
no no caffeine answer but dog note broker a joke on your consent that kinda is a part of me
donate centers is nothing to nourish us besides painted rice cakes guess ah that's the same fate right yeah so
creative expression using was language optics can we are painted asking matter with that face painting rice cake with can
i initiated by nourishing to nourish not job and enjoy it
this is our server it said by nothing can be done at advantage is the king and has be happy we can be why you can't avoid that i we need a magistrate
such as productive as possible
i'm a dog and bleaker same thing
guy right in sheboygan
canada before we know well as international games of on repeat it is it's a fact dog and expect us to do that
when you to
ah event our own expression even our expressions kind of to be a simple such a wonderful toys are going to need or architecture still need to express our using our own was for
i was just thinking the original face that we carried on is like the season it doesn't change itself but it's the summer like the weather is and what's going on outside and also asian and
and then get a suzuki roshi says that we have faith in our practice that as we go through this a red wearing the original face and able to experience
got into how mu a defect is serve through or this each and every drop of water
can you were are repeating about anybody stopped the ceremony as you've probably heard law this morning and and was struck as i always am by a lot of not i'm a lot i will always and will never so is there a way to express the precepts with our original face
the preset goal in a prison to issue is a expression of this according to a dog and prohibition up use the expression of israel will react to yellow peach
beyond one using fun
sorry for you we study the gorgons comment on it choked up in major crusher this is a real the kitchen
was comment by dogan on a job fucking mesa recently is moka
capping was in the detention so ah
we cannot ah
we cannot keep both precept
just be the girl history good and bad this is a good so i do this ambition products of item actually the other witness if we have such a simple the artistic ah thinking or attitude then we cannot really understand what this present means

and i'm very much for the c e after on the willing to talk about
it's the like apology for the decision
