Notes from a Dalai Lama Lecture

[Music] yeah younger brothers sisters and elder brother sisters indeed I feel very happy mixing with people and particularly young people when I say sit with old people then sometimes I feel you go first me go first then when I mix in with young people it five year old person mentally sometimes feel younger so I'm very happy very enjoy meet with you then time always moving so no force can stop that time moving changing its nature now the question is whether we utilize time properly or not and for that it's a past you can't do anything for the future depend on present so so we can make opportunity to create future more peaceful more happy or difficult future now in that respect the generation of to the first century you are the key for people who create this century more happier century or difficult century so the generation of to the first century you have the opportunity and also responsibility and also the remaining to the first century they like me we won't see but you have to live so therefore say it is your own interest to try to have happier century so the generation of 21st century is very very important so please this young product sisters please think more seriously how to build happy world happy century because you know a lot of problem which we are experiencing and seeing include war these human creation so now since this problem many problem human created problem so logically we also have the ability to eliminate this problem if not entirely certainly we can reduce this problem so the human being you have very good opportunity and also moral responsibility to create happier world so now the ragged ease of violence or mainly create creation of anger and and also selfish and narrow-minded if we creates on this world a concept of oneness of human being no basis of V and day then is this such a sorrow or cruelty and war to much based on we and day and that also finally concept of I I we lacking the sense of oneness of seven billion human being if we consider and try seven billion being as human brother sisters then we see no basis to kill each other to bull each other therefore now it is very important we have to develop sense of oneness of human human being and logically you see human being social animal and then any social animal they have the sense of concern about the urban community because their own life will much depend on the community so engine time community you see his or her own area firstly family there's more community now today's world the reality is new world depends on Western world or this terminology or this sort of modern societies calm progressed very much relying on them then also for economy these things west always in need depend on the east and a similarly south and north so from that judging death reality then today's human community since entire seven billion being is a one human community so we Buddhists usually you see recite this is some sort of prayer entire sentient beings and the biggest car mother sentient being and then also you see they other religion now you do Christian tradition and Muslim those theistic religion who believe God so from that viewpoint also you see entire world created by one God so that was something like our Father so all seventeen him being our children of one father God so judging from that but there are seven he means our brothers sisters so these chest is reaching except creator-god very powerful and God everybody using it it's considered God infinite Allah so our Father one God with infinite love so the all silver even being children of their God so if you think seriously how can human being kill each other bully each other we have to live side by side with spirit of brotherhood sisterhood then as I briefly mentioned according non-theistic religion of Sangha one part of some gap no control creator and then Jainism no possible creator and then position no control creator but then the main message is a concern and Karuna so in this country over three thousand years the concept of ahimsa and Karuna so when you seriously practice himself then no basis to attack to harm other so nobody's war violence and all these hymns are concept the digital with Karuna so when you have when when you for follow the teaching of these ancient Indian teachers ahimsa and Aruna then automatically you see that person become very peaceful very compassionate and a sensible person I think India comparatively today India most peaceful and then the religious harmony because of ahimsa conservable himself definitely tradition homegrown a different religion and region come from out of fight there's mainly each other christian and islam and authority these come from outside but you see living here peaceful and religious harmony in this country truly remarkable so in our neighbor country they do to divert his faith killing each other in this country is harmonious so therefore india the thousand year old Kousaka ahimsa at the corona is very much relevant to this world and then again India's tradition secular way see whether believer or non-believer believed this religion or that religion is personal matter as a human being is we need practice of ahimsa and Karuna so among the Egyptian civilization Chinese civilization in the Spratlys civilization which is in the original so you see this industry is civilization I think the main concept as I mentioned earlier non-violence and compassion and that also you see according secular way then today it's really very much relevant to this world since the secular way approach these things so through education not through prayer not to religious belief religious belief is individual matter individual business but this concept of peace compassion is relevant to entire humanity so now the I often used to express the thousand-year-old India's traditional himsa Karuna through education say firstly in this country should revive in education field not only education which exists today is very much oriented about material value basically existing modern education come from best in the West judeo-christian tradition so they are thorough whenever some problem some difficult face just pray God or God no sort of education or knowledge how to taken our emotion or mind so now this country before put before mafia already have the concept of ahimsa and compassion Karuna so now of course not a lot of people here so I may mentioned I have four sort of commitment or responsibility number one I consider I am just one human being on this planet so now even scientist say basic human nature is more compassionate because we are social animal any social animal there are as I briefly mentioned there for life very much depend on the community so there are four basic human ages more compassionate now that's some scientists now thinking that way so that should be basis we can develop compassionate human being through now through education so these days by telling by expressing they any kindergarten level the teaching or education or how to take care your physical health so similar same time we should include hydrogen of emotion has no physical hydrogen of emotion so children also to you you see do you prefer smile or word this kind of face so naturally smile indication or expression of loving-kindness so when I was young like that you see when my teacher showing little beautiful serious face I don't like well my teacher you say make some jokes and some sort of smile then I do not feel tired s even more serious face then I look watch as soon as finished this is that lesson I feel much happier I prefer like that so therefore we are children since we know smile warm heartedness so now education should include now about hiding of emotion and how to create happy mind peaceful mind so my number one commitment is try to create certain building human being more compassionate in me for individual physical health also now these days some scientists also not mention peace of mind very important for healthy for poor health healthy body and because a longitude is a long life so therefore now not talking about next life not talking about put the God or heaven simply how to be happy a human being human society so through education we should include education about or emotion how to take her and fear jealousy this emotion a destroyer of peace of mind and eventually also this way our health therefore say in our education should include more our city explanation more so more education about our emotion about our mind in that respect in this country very very rich material about mind emotion usually I describe something like map of emotion once we fully sort of arsenic Kasota understand ray or knowledge then much easier to take this emotion as a circle away so these settings mentioned in religious texts now he you say according my own sort of little experience lot of information in these Buddhist tests about psychology but then this should consider as a academic subject not only subject according Indian tradition circularly so number one my commitment is trying to promote compassionate mind or loving kindness as mikasa loving-kindness or through education all world as I am once one person out of seven billion be wherever I go I always talk these things no Baba number two my commitment is trying to promote disharmony as I mentioned earlier I have sort of confidence there is a harmony is very possible this country as I mentioned earlier all world is tradition lived together and mid respect and some cases mutual learning I often use a mentioning at the Parsi community in Bombay less than 100,000 there are huzzah Susan resident he's come from outside India and then settled in Bobby they carry some fire push or something in big city over medium I think seven million Christian Hindu Muslim less than hundred thousand population pass Percy very happily no fear so that's one example this country I think religious harmony is truly exists over thousand years so I have full sort of conviction religious harmony it's very possible so my number two commitment I'm wherever I go I always tried to share with people all religion in spite different and philosophy a different teacher at different time but all carry message of love and we that forgiveness tolerance self-discipline so all visualization in spite indifferent of philosophy the main message is same therefore and they're also so logically all this religion except you see according the Creator then different otherwise all this religion human created so human naturally the human good quality best quality human now so all religion which essentially created by human being they carried the I mean they the concept of loving-kindness taking care other not harming other so that all religion of human being carried this message and then you see mentioned different of philosophy it is necessary according different people different a mental disposition even if a different geography different climate you need different way of approach the goal M is same loving kindness compassion like that so just harmony very possible otherwise this is just India's neighbour Afghanistan and then the Arab world in the name of religion killing each other untenable really so therefore there reaches harmony very important so it is possible to create disharmony India is the example okay then number three commitment I am Tibetan development people trust so I have more responsibility to think about their future so political matter now already I retired since 2001 I completely retired from political responsibility then we already have elected political leadership or then regarding Tibet ecology now global warming really become more serious so many experts about ecology they really warning us so the best case according some Indian ecologist they say the Tibet high altitude and dry climate so like ecology these ones damage it take longer time to casada casal that recover so ecological condition in Tibetan is quite delicate so I often use expressing their concern the people there and particularly Chinese including Chinese business people see they I'm exploitation about nature resources there hmm this this should should take care yes it is worthwhile to use natural resources but forests of these things they should pay more attention this is my the current debate and then most important is Tibetan knowledge from childhood I study these tests which originally translated from Sanskrit so when I was like you I quite lazy then you see when you see like puzzle because of the counting now when how did you come what so the next day holiday then today I feel very happy I think you also have said feeling isn't it so you know I'm quite lazy but those subject which I learned they are trouble did a traditional way to study these things firstly roots just learn by heart memorize few hundred pages memorize then explain each word according commentary mainly Indian masters commentary then we extensively use debate because shatter Ishita the who are introducing Buddhism in Tibet in eighth century he himself greater logician so therefore is he he introduced buddhadharma in Tibet according nonlinear tradition his trial logical approach is very essential so now the Tibetan are the knowledge not only just prayer prayer or religious belief religious of ritual but logic and philosophy at the knowledge of philosophy now very much this is the similar Bonifacius Cointreau fizz is half the Nollan de salsa de now quantum physicists this is they already develop things outside external things does not exist as appears if you analyze nothing you can find so quite similar this is the mantras concept external thing does not exist only been difference of that creations already like that under projection then so quantum physicist they say this huge gap appearance and reality the reality does not exist s appears this is exactly the Nalan de philosopher exactly she mentioned these things so I want to share with young brothers sisters you know when I listen Condor physicist naturally I had with respect and humbly listen the explanation meantime in my mind I feel I know much better because we study yes yes about an Islander tradition cheetah mantra philosophy yes madam ago philosophy which in Whataburger there are some material flows over also you see except the cheetah mantras mind only school score part then the person Kira Madame occur wonderful now the similar Condor physics nothing excess 2's appears so mention these things because our destructive emotion are very much based on appearances you convince things exist as appears and some nice in attachment some negative thing anger so now some student and in China about controversies now they express the ones they believe nothing exists as a PS that automatically reduce the grasping something independent existence there that's the basis of and all these negative emotion so therefore the Contra physics not only external thing but observer also you see rule through centuries investigation where is I that's also a so now there is no independent I now here differences automata theory and enough materi like that so therefore Tibetan tradition some Chinese professors who who notices these things they express Tibetan Buddhism is true lineage of an Islander tradition and that tradition is very scientific religion some Chinese professors you see Express that way so therefore the Tibetan knowledge I think very useful to preserve so it can make I think certain contribution regarding Khan sort of knowledge about in a world ah then does mainly according to the debate and then political matter as I meant earlier already we have all elected political leadership and since fifty seven no correct 74 74 according but the naruse advice and also according our own experience then we are not seeking independence or separation from China we very much sorrow sorrow winning remain within the people in China and then important is Tibetan knowledge must preserve and including Tibetan language should be preserve and when we say Tibet they in 1914 similar convention they say make distinction in ER Tibet or dr. Petch so independence for Tibet outer Tibet in a debate come DISA they consider energy pet as a part of China so if we only concerned outer Tibet then around less than 200 - millions - millions then including the outer Tibet no energy bet come on doe then altogether about six to seven millions so we are SolarCity concerning we are concern all those Tibetan which Chinese constitutions recognized as a Tibetan sort of race should have same right to preserve the thousand-year-old knowledge and including that language so that's political field you see we are not singing independence but we should preserve Tibetan ecology and rich Twitter culture now today I can ancient knowledge of knowledge now in India they say all these knowledge disappear so only among Tibetan we still kept all these null and thought man and knowledge the more psychology about logic and what you see these like controversies these things we still in our tradition very much alive and also very useful to tackle our emotion so this knowledge in order to keep peace of mind not just a bright faith but in a little through analytical meditation what's the value of anger what's the value or selfish ultimately all this negative emotion little bit selfish so the great master like Shonda or Shanta Dawa or they are writing Oh other she who has a guide to the Bodhisattva of light really wonderful to tackle self-centered attitude and create altruism so thinking other actually benefit yourself own maximum fee so since many years I use the word we are selfish as a serving whole evolution or come with take care oneself including animals but now since we have this human brain so our surface should be why surface rather than foolish selfish so why selfish means since we are social element our individual life depend on the community so take care maximum way what others will be that's the best way to fulfill your selfish of the interest like that so this interaction as a first generation to introduce buddhadharma in Tibet in eighth century and he himself illogical I'm a logician so they also approach anything so all the first our reaction is why the sorrow or city question mark why why why even put this on would why we she taught that so some Nylander master this is rejected some buddhist own teaching if you accepted this literally it goes against reason so we must reject like Nagarjuna agenda Cathy this clearly mentioned that so Buddha himself actually allowed us oh my follower monks scholars should not accept my teaching out of faith but rather tara investigation and experiment so many non in the master exactly followed that way so as I mention earlier okay now let the tradition Buddhist tradition non traditional much was an emphasis on logical approach so good ISM as Chinese as I mentioned earlier described class a scientific religion and my only experience around I think about 40 years I have seen his discussion with modern scientist you see eventually it becomes very useful to meet you learning we also this will learn something from scientific sort of finding and then they also you see very much appreciate about our knowledge or mind of also how to tackle this destructive emotion like that so that's a record interpret and that my latest commitment is try to a revival of ancient Indian knowledge about a hamsa Karuna religion and the grip asana analytical meditation this is india's finishing now modern India I think not sufficient for pay attention about this knowledge your modern Indian very much sort of are today I sorta of cause of the follow the materiality education now time come you should pay more attention about the ancient in the knowledge about mind about emotion then the logically India is the only nation who can combine modern education that oriented about a material value and the science of general are very useful and then meantime ancient in the knowledge tackle our mind to build in a inner strength or inner inner value so only India can can do combined ancient your knowledge and modern knowledge combine modern knowledge bring us physical comfort ancient Indian knowledge bring us when your comfort yes I think with a believer or non-believer the secular way so I easily see with distinction this I think I already mentioned three cities your knowledge you should consider as a academic knowledge not religious knowledge although come from religious tests but we should consider this a secular way and about Hosoda academic subject so I'm trying to revival of ancient Indian a certain knowledge India the young young Indian now you should pay more attention about ancient Indian knowledge about mind o himsa Karuna these things the young Indian now should pay more attention and study so the secular education you should include education about mind as I mentioned earlier from childhood has no real emotion these things so it is my latest my commitment item I I really found number of Indian scholars they really showing interest over my commitment revival all these tension in the knowledge and combined ancient knowledge modern knowledge like that then India can make a significant contribution regarding world peace peace through in a piece like that so now they just God now they are today I'm going to speak something about eight verses on great Trenton a saint monk was and also scholar their teachers the city cyber and Casa de apertura Karim Judaism port or any other special amore Russia me that the under limit on Saturday conversations so the text that we are going to go through was written by disciple of one of the disciples of the boat over who was in turn a disciple of Master a t-shirt upon courage honor who came to Tibbett and this was this text was written by a disciple who was a disciple of disciple of Ottawa and so regarding the disciple photo what they would to disciples mainly who were called Oh Cheryl what are little flashes so these two disciples word Shara WA and then longer a compass this text was written by master Lam written so he wrote this it versus he himself is a great practitioner of altruism so he wrote this very short so something like prayer or subject so I myself since very young age I recite this a drusus every day so this is quite short and very meaningful now the with a determination to achieve the highest aim for the benefit of all sentient beings which surprised even the wish-fulfilling germ may I hold them dear at all times through analytical meditation see also the happiness and including long life and a physical health very much depend our attitude was other so just think oneself then all these negative things negative emotions you sitcom think more about others you get for for because of hope for immediate it's a peaceful mind and then there's life no question you practice after easy think other or more then 100 percent show your nails life will be human being and happy life then practice that every moment your action motivated altruism and every sort of karma action become positive such services relatively sensitive romantic song sent a large German and the at a sauna Collison you siddo from Jacques activist number generation 80s opponent resist the productivity natural aging ambassadorship transition South Africa data she wouldn't natural 100 range of shirisha 70 South Ossetia so as master Tom copper has said this altruistic spirit of enlightenment is the is like the yardstick of the great vehicle tradition and it is also the basis of all the greats Bodhisattva practices and therefore the practitioners Bodhisattvas make this practice of bodhichitta dear principal practice so it shows how great the altruism concerning with a concern for the well-being of all other sentient beings is very important and significant then may I hold them care at all times now this also related with ultimate reality now may I hold where's I besides his body and mind a voice as I so if we investigate we can't find recently I met among the audience on old lady she X she's seeking some kind of blessing from me because her mind so too much sorrow anxiety also discharged then I asked iris I asked her where's self where's I where's you she responds yeah yeah I hear then I asked round or square as she answered round so you know investigated where's I we cannot sort of find the rails or pieces of I so they are not much theory is essentially ultimately we cannot find even use it the control features this is as like external thing observer himself or herself investigate beside this body mind a voice nothing we can pinpoint so as the as I said the kitty not outside it and canonization um do you mean there's a sugar cube insurgents are appalling arrogance or the Delta there's a lozenge Tonya Chadwick another your search model copycat others any change in Versailles Utah anymore and so if you try to search for your true identity you cannot find anything that you can actually pinpoint as being yourself you cannot find find this I that you usually hold on to and be existing as something concrete or something like that as master chandrakirti has said when you actually you know analyzed through the Sevenfold reasoning like analyzing a chariot you will not be able to find anything that you actually can pinpoint as being the I herself but that called despite that you do exist the I or the person does exist by way of merely by way of convention the the volta convention and so we should understand that things are merely designated and they known by worldly conventions color should receive a michelada samishisa missus what da choppah sensual surgical charge my doctor work on the top phones have a chamber so as we say logically we cannot actually have anything that is stained amount kind of an entity and whatever there is I mean there is always some kind of a part of what we do we can talk about our holes whenever we talk about a hole there's always the the constituent factors that make up the whole and so when you try to you know the search for the identity of the things you need to actually dissect the thing into its parts and further into the sub parts and so forth when you do this then there's nothing that you can actually find as being this or that then whenever I interact with someone may I view myself as the lowest amount and from that very depth of my heart respectfully all others as superior so in order to tackle self-centered attitude using these practice is very very helpful and the reality if the circumstances if someone take you remain humble sincerely then if someone take advantage then analyze rather let the other take advantage and what results what consequences analyze then if circumstances and through analytical meditation analyze then eventually you see the Kasota conduct the other person himself or herself you see me make it was more suffering more committed negative karma then according their circumstances if necessary to countermeasure to stop the varsity wrong dream like that then in all my deeds may I prove into my mind and as soon as mental and emotional affliction arise as they endanger myself and others may I strongly confront him and avert them so as I already mentioned they annulled analytical meditation we should develop early understanding what kind of emotion is harmful what kind of emotion is useful then everyone you see carrying themselves so all this negative emotion is ultimate destruction the destroyer of your own happiness your own peace of mind like that as I already mentioned when I see being so unpleasant because I character ya know oppressed by strong negativity and suffering may I hold them dear for they are here to find yes I have discovered a gern treasure crushing abyss engine at the root of the neurons rotella telecine your courage in seashores so acidy several practice of altruism then this is genuine concern of our so-called enemy troublemaker that sense of concern is genuine compassion some circles on your own friend is more mixed with attachment so they they the proper way to test your own genuine compassion really genuine or not look towards your enemy the genesis of concern all their well-being there's genuine compassion okay so hundred or say enemy who create trouble for you is best teacher withdraw like that now when others out of jealousy treat me wrongly with abuse slander and scorn may I take them myself the defeat and offer to others the victory wonderful hmm few years ago uses some interpret some some low-quality 2008 know some people in Hassan or start demonstration and then suppression so at that time I realized someone those Chinese officials who making that that kind of decision I visualize and take their anger their fear save myself give them forgiveness or tolerance compassion depends of the visualization so no help to absolute the situation but it immense help to keep peace of mind like that so then SS or a practitioner altruism and hold phenomenon appears something very positive too much self-centered sort of thinking then whole phenomena appears something negative and fear disgust suspicion so sometimes I as a practice practitioner of altruism now at least I think 50 years more than 50 years with the combination of understanding or Shunyata about gnosis tears 6070 years so sometimes when I saw some ruffled 80 I feel really strange to home there are faults of the face the all phenomena also the sentient being very dear says already thought reproduce tender strategy may be targeted in Java transition or decision Toto tell another person shuttle terminus or car keys in store she was seen do a summary says our trial campuses agitated the chorus true you know services holiday successive generation to see so when I see these wrathful them paintings of wrathful deities I sometimes thing to whom actually are they showing their wrath in fact when I see these portraits of the wrathful deities I also feel that what what master indeed ever has prayed is actually true which says in the 3rd chapter at the end of the chapter today I called in the in in the in front of the protectors the Buddha's and did I call upon all sentient beings as my guests for the ultimate realization of the Buddhahood and in the meantime also for the the temporary benefit within do exist until existent and cyclic existence and therefore with this prayer I actually pray that may the gods and on gods and demigods so forth be joyful whether I give some authentic ferocity initiation usually at the beginning to see some part positive expect all their forces since now some few years I no longer practice that there is nothing here Dada gets impaired or so in this kind of a tantric rituals I mean when we come to the point of doing this well we call ritual to this way where we imagine - you know dispel or drive away the so-called evil forces I actually think that there's nobody done that called no sentient being whom we could call as being our enemies or adversities everyone is our friends she's rejection Oh contributor not some lessons on dignity means you you Ramada traveling tomorrow so Tom Loranger so in fact these so-called evil beings whom we think of me driving away during this kind of ceremonies our objects of compassion and therefore we should not think of them as some kind of a you know adversary who are harming us way and ignite that but be compassionate towards them in brief may I offer benefit and joy to all my mother's both directly and indirectly may I quietly take upon myself all hurts and pains or my mother doesn't it may all this remain Assad hunted my way no no by the sending strains of its mountain concerns and me I realized all this as illusion devoid of coddling be released from bodies that we at the beginning I or that now investigative as I this is more easier consultum in the children to neutral move initially naturally or martini to decision when it comes out and it was launched a Texas tour III said Jenica yellow shoe store Trasolini life in general she to a pregnancy my senses coalition any culture any consolation sorrow not so numbers tendency translation agree number two tamil rakhi my Senshi university Carly and if I say deliver what tony kushner anxious a shaky or I'm just like yet anaconda wrong you wish I said name since he eating anxious any god I'm nice and those was cold assumption God that Dick Cheney Omar sustain him and hot college town zanzibar shelter that did Tom day in mink tiny you wanna give us some motto only to attend a llamar stodgy and Raleigh a shadow menage a lot - or the dish so when we with regard to this last verse when you come to say may I recognize all things as like illusion and so forth you should try to relate this verse with the analysis into who you are as I have already explained with regard in relation to verse number two when we see whenever I interact with somebody you should do analysis of who you are and try to see I mean whether you can find the so-called I or me and then within this psychophysical from within the psychophysical aggregate or not and so when you do this kind of analysis I mean we actually try and what we try to gain insight into in is twofold one is they the what is called the selflessness of persons or beings and self analysis of phenomena and the between these two self answers of phenomena the self is a person and phenomena and it's easier to gain insight into the selflessness of fit person and but then with within the Buddhist philosophical tradition there are those schools who kind of assert that there must be something that we can actually find our finger at that that we can actually identify as they're real the true nature or the true identity of a person as search and therefore the the kind of assert that within the from amongst the psychophysical aggregates the five advocates as we called him what can actually be pretty cool I defy as the the true identity of her being or a person is the mental consciousness and then within that got a while called dividend that there's some schools like Judah matrons kind of desperately assert a so-called a layer began a foundational consciousness as being the true identity of a person or a being and then there are those of the Medea maka philosophical tradition the followers of Medea Rockefeller philosophical tradition particularly the Sava Tantra comedy amicus who say that the sixth consciousness the sixth mind is the true identity of a person but even though they do assert such things like the Alya vagina or the sixth consciousness as being the true identity of a person when you actually put these two under the lens of you know a critical analysis you will not be able to find anything as being the person as such whether it's all a vagina or the sixth consciousness nothing can be found when you do that kind of analysis critical analysis in you know to look into the nature of the eye or the person what you actually get at is that you know this empty nature of in yourself and there is this the sense of they call a vacuity that you may get into and then well we call what you actually can't come to conclusion is a person yourself when you analyze yourself you you cannot actually find anything that you can actually pinpoint as being your identity as such from amongst the first five cycle physical aggregates nothing can be found as being the person as such and therefore what you actually can conclude is that this me or the is merely designated that that it's called merely designated by way of worldly convention and nothing else so these brothers actually miss attacker also emotion destructive emotion firstly self-centered selfish is a key factor Keith or factor all those destructive emotion come for that antidote is bodhichitta altruism then another sort of wrong view everything is exist as appears antidote of that or nothing independently is exist all are just a mere definite it wrong so then an analytical meditation abortion yatta is the antidote of dancing so the understanding that things have no independent existence that they don't exist the way they appear to us is the kind of counter force or the antidote to this grasping or clanking at some kind of a concrete cells so my daily practice mainly these two things Buddhist and analytical meditation abortion yada immense help in order to keep peace of mind and then come across some of problems so these two practice really immense benefit so so thank you so I really appreciate you give me this opportunity to organize this all because of opportunity thank you very much [Applause] your holiness there are some questions from the students already okay okay okay yeah what should we as students practice first compassion or wisdom I get wisdom you'd need more study so I think originally you come you mean more important person so that's practice of altruism so firstly I think you should practice thousand-year-old Indian tradition ahimsa Karuna yes how do you view yourself how do you view yourself just a human being unarmed oh I'm too human being how do you handle exam pressure what how do we how do we handle exam pressure when I carry some also the examination the finally a kiss examination yes Lily ah social anxiety but hmm is it basically I think 13 years I study and then when you see the date of my examination finalized then I put more effort for study so not much as today not much worried okay how can be as a student attain eternal peace and also can excel in our academics both at the same time cosa I think again altruism the very purpose of your education study is serving to other largely seven to you manatee and then you get more enthusiasm or my effort the nose or the feeling of Chinese come let's just think yourself and then try honest certainly come okay as written in the second verse it's mentioned to consider yourself lowest but we are told not to consider yourself lower than others at home by considering yourself low aren't we demoralizing ourselves so Sharon is changing the uranium mo repair D min deliora Jim or less action Amador so there's no way you can feel demoralized when you see yourself as being the lowest because this is done from within the practice of altruism you know considering others to be more cherished others over oneself alone sufficient and social members Devin demoralizing goodness but if you remain selfish then you know when you actually do think of yourself as being the lowest that's actually demoralizing yourself amidst all the ensuing chaos in the world which stories moments does His Holiness revisit to instill faith in humanity again as I mentioned earlier to see everybody want happy life and level knowledge what is the destroyer of unhappiness so just destroy all happiness and what is the ultimate source of happiness this is these I think level knowledge so sometimes you feel cutter frustration this is the flow condition some lenders are much motive Ganesha yes so basically what this shows is that you are lack understanding okay okay the working of our relations our minds okay okay no I think please okay no okay okay okay no problem no problem yes what could be the reasons for the prevalence of depression and anxiety among school students well no I think you should as I mentioned earlier the self-centered attitude and level of knowledge about the whole emotion system that's the main reason so static I can at least the Shanta De Aza book very helpful should the young preserve their traditions or embrace modern culture Corsa I think as I already mentioned combination the education which come from West is no knowledge about emotion these things so the existing Western education existing education which come from West the the certain field not sort of sufficient or not mentioned so in that the India sort of thousand year old tradition shootin Soviet so we should actually be able to add India's ancient knowledge okay how important is a meditation for the young today I think it is quite I think the relevant at least in morning they the class session start I think few moment just as a remain silent and think about mind the Queen useful were your personal challenges as a teenager close to the ones we face today I think variety that was me you needed her come the motion the novel author this had a Cochrane so it's difficult to save and definitely at it seemed because you know things depend on your own circumstances and your own mentality mental disabilities and so forth why is the Guru important alpha oh the gems in the rich women on earlier I Rama do a chandelier in any of this anything you do endeavour Lama the tomorrow meet you to Asuka sauce Jenny ardent or gently singing to assure in his short he undercover stranger Danka to ten years old mark auntie Sarah Danny go up on attention what dr. Tony the package movie as master Tom copper in his great treatise on the stages of the path sees one who someone who wishes I mean who wants to actually discipline others must first be able to discipline himself or herself because there is no way without disciplining yourself as human day you can actually discipline others control other's emotions and so forth and then when it comes to called explaining about guru devotion or you know reliance on guru there are ten different criteria that are mentioned in the Mahayana sutras Omkara and one of them is that of compassion affectionate love or compassion and so this quality is very important in a teacher what according to you is happiness I can do to level one physical never joyful yes at the mental level the mental level is more more important mental level happy joyful the physical pain not much important not much sort of affect other hand physical very comfortable very happy life but mentally too much disturbances that person is cannot call heavy person so mental level much more important your holiness children want to know how did you escape from Tibet oh there's a wrong story hmm firstly you should know nine years I spent with Chinese Communists and and 1954 I went to China I develop very close relations with Germany and a many party member I really admire those communist party member truly dedicated serving people wonderful there then eventually I think power spoil depth and then people who have power then they law no independent law so on my friend actually the late President of Israel Gaza Shimon Peres he very socialist so he very sympathetic towards Chinese in early period then later one occasion I met him and I asked him do you think now China is socialist he immediately said no was the kind of capitalism [Applause] so either way the worst thing is no freedom no Free Press these are people in China just only one in relation the part is sort of our city cause poor Organa like that so then finally even if my life you see facing some danger then I escaped 1959 tender March sort of cry for entire hearts of people or say also come to know Belinda and shouting so then nest tender mara tender March till 17th I try my best to cool down the situation but faith then 17th I decided the living Casa so the last moment a Chinese the local leader asked me they want to know the place where I stay there are few broth no Linga so they they want to know the place they should mark and they will protect no so when we received that letter there either to the target or project do not know the last seven nine nine years very difficult eventually since 1956 my sort of suppression and isn't Tibet so number also the spiritual leaders and also local people ocol sort of leaders many characters like that so therefore and when they when I received their so orcid a message so doubt better so it clearly shows they're going to suppress or or miss reaction so then 17 morning I recite living now and also is I carry some mysterious ways to investigation so then all the same sort of indication should go should leave like that okay how do you overcome brief Buddha also died at the Nagarjuna with all these you say that if nature the whole plexus come and disappear so someone is passed away it's quite nature what is self enlightenment in your view alpha actually according my own little experience as I mention earlier several decades I practice Shinya de wisdoms 11 and altruism Omaha tennis I feel Russell Johnson shitake solo today Allah give a social yes so through my practice over the last 70 plus years I I feel that perhaps I may be somewhere close to what is known as the part of accumulation within these five tiers part system uh today I gotta cut the bottle at the part of some girl police also tell you column you are a syllabus or some B's and so if we relate the the the five tiered path to the mantra of the Heart Sutra which says got the Ngati whare Ngati whare some Gatti and then Bodhi svaha so there are five different mm parts that are called that these mantras refer to so I feel I may be somewhere near this first Gatti which is a reference image is referred by a part of accumulation so this is the last question is it good to be just a normal human being or one should be very nationalistic national sphere I think the social nationalistic some time for a meander war Okonedo some positive Ian Karachi in Gruber Diane missus eternity McCombs in the methodology that talk on a team yet sometimes in grow so not to be nationalistic also you need to actually check within yourself whether this nationalistic you know attitude happens within a set of mind which is very narrow-minded or or not I mean short-sighted and so forth or not if that is the case then that's not a good thing to do whereas if you actually see the the constructive nature of being nationalistic and thinking that your and the people of India or your own country and if you are able to do something for them or to protect them and so forth is some good reason if you see a good reason for that then you can be nationalist which may be considered as a constructive one mission that's net nationalists external pressure the G around for the change of chart on the different oil model yes so in the practice of nationalism if you actually tend to be kind of a biased in a way you hold your site to be better and then wish to overcome or destroy the other side then that's not good okay
