in our mind we have a tendency to disseminate police discriminate against we discriminate between mind and matter and that is why we ask the question whether mind is a product of matter hence a matter is a product of mind materialism say that our mind is a product of matter and idealism say that what you see as matter that's only your mind so they continue to quarrel and dispute each other just because they use the mind discrimination in order to look at things but in the tradition of buddhism mind and matter are not two separate entities sometimes they manifest as mine sometimes it manifests as matter it's like in subatomic physics the element particle sometimes express itself as a particle sometimes as a wave so to say that it is a particle israel to say that it is a wave is equally wrong it is both and this sheet of paper it says the left and the right and we know that we cannot take the left out of the right and the right out of the left you cannot come and take the right and go to bordeaux and the left to go to toulouse no they are always together you cannot take them out of each others and that is the teaching of inter being in buddhism inter being means you cannot be by yourself alone you have to be with us the left has to intervene with the right the left is not the enemy of the right the left has to lean on the right in order to manifest herself and the right has to lead to lean on the left in order to manifest herself so this is the mind of non-discrimination but if we continue with our mind of discrimination we distort everything and and we oppose matter to mind left and right and so and last week we also learned that suffering and happiness they are not enemies they are suffering is made of happiness and happiness is made of suffering if there is no suffering there is no happiness and if there is no happiness there is no suffering it's like the lotus flower and mud if there is no mud you cannot grow lotus and lotus stay there for some time and become the mud again so looking into the lotus you see the mud and looking into the mud you see future lotus so suffering is like that someone who have who has the capacity to go back to himself and listen to his own suffering and look deeply into his suffering he will be able to understand that suffering inside of him that carries with it the suffering of his father his mother his ancestors and getting in touch with suffering inside help you to understand your own suffering and understanding suffering give rise to compassion and when compassion arises you suffer less right away because you see the path of of transformation and healing if you have understood the nature the roots of your suffering and then the path of the path leading to the cessation of the suffering will appear in front of you and having seen the path you are no longer afraid you know how to make good use of suffering in order to make happiness it is like the brothers in privilege they know how to make good use of the mud in order to produce beautiful lotus flowers there are one or two lotus flowers left in up hamlet and a low hamlet so so one of the things we learned last week is that we need suffering suffering can be can be useful and we can speak about the goodness of suffering because going back and listen and understanding and understand our suffering we give rise to the birth of of of compassion and love and when compassion love is born we suffer less right away suppose you look at someone even that someone has made you suffer a lot during the past many years you don't want to to look at him or her because because every time you look at him or her you suffer because you believe that that person has made you suffer so much but now with the practice it become different because you have already understood your own suffering that is why you are capable of recognizing the suffering in him in her and you understand why such a person suffers so much and that person suffers so much and does not know how to handle the suffering that is why he's suffering is spirit all over around and you are a victim maybe he did not want to make you suffer just because he did not know how he does not know how to handle the suffering that is why he continues to suffer and because he suffer you have to suffer you are the second victim and he is the first victim of his suffering so having understood your own suffering you have compassion you have insight and you suffer less and that allows you to look at the other person and when you can see the suffering in her in him and you understand why that person suffers like that you are no longer angry at him anymore and this is the truth when you look at someone and if you can see the suffering in that someone that he is not capable of handling the suffering you don't blame blame him anymore you are not angry at him anymore instead you want to do something and to say something in order for him to suffer less it means that you have compassion in your heart and compassion in your heart the does not make you suffer anymore
