50 cues
#1
...
#2
Okay, we've been studying a lojong text, lojong - How to develop a good heart. And we have been studying one of the most famous ones, it's called
#3
Say . . Sometimes... those of you studying Tibetan, sometimes it's . means any kind of weapon.
#4
In general like a is an atomic bomb. But more specifically in this case it means something with a sharp blade. And we talked about it last time that...
#5
...we were talking about like a ninja star, about this big and it's got these sharp blades, razor blades coming out the side, like knives, sharpened on both sides.
#6
And the idea is that you could throw it at somebody. And I guess it's like a boomerang. You know, if you throw it that way and then you're just innocently standing there...
#7
...and then suddenly something slashes you on the head over here. And you don't know quite what happened, you know. And this is the story of your life, you know.
#8
Every unpleasant... I mean, it's the unpleasant things when you say, 'Why did this happen to me or why me?' And people don't wonder about the good things, they wonder about the bad things.
#9
So it's like... why am I having this bad thing happening to me? And it's very important... last time the whole first half of this book,...
#10
...first, what does he do? He bows down to the Three Jewels. Secondly, what does he do? In the middle of a lojong text he bows down to a tantric fire angel called the Lord of Death, okay.
#11
And then he starts this sweet little lojong text about... it seems like every time something bad happens to me, if I really analyze it I see that it came from myself;...
#12
...that I did something to hurt somebody and there's this long boomerang thing and then it comes back and hurts me okay.
#13
And I think... and then he goes through a long, long list of this happened to me, my boss yelled at me, 'Oh, this is the wheel of sharp knives, coming back and hitting me.
#14
I realize it was because I yelled at someone else before. From now on I'll never yell back at my boss.' Okay, like that. It's a whole cycle of having something bad happen to you,...
#15
...figuring out what it was you did before and then deciding how to avoid doing it any more. And this is the whole... we're going to do the in the next course...
#16
...and the key of is that at number one, at one o'clock, you can break the wheel of life, that's the whole point of samsara. When someone's bad to you...
#17
...and you get angry and you want to do something back to them, if you break it at that point, called ignorance, if you understand that it's coming from you...
#18
...and if you respond with the same stuff, it will perpetuate this thing, then you're free. Then slowly you can get free of everything, all the trouble you have.
#19
But it's very compelling to think that it's other people's fault especially when the suffering is coming back to you through a human being. You know, if a brick falls on your head...
#20
...or an egg or whatever, walking down the street... we were walking down the street the other night, had a nice latte and then right in the middle of Sixth Street this egg lands on my head...
#21
...and I'm not kidding. And I think they threw it off a roof, like it... it felt like a brick. It hurt. It really hurt and we were sitting there and laughing. You know, you never know, you know.
#22
It's easy to be... like if you stub your toe or something, it's easy to kind of forget it and not to worry about it. And not to believe too much in the self existence of it.
#23
But when somebody is there in front of your face and somebody right in front of you is hurting you somehow, it's almost impossible at that moment to realize that this is coming from yourself,...
#24
...and that they are just an instrument of energy that you set in motion yourself. They have nothing to do with the bad thing happening to you.
#25
There's nothing you can do by reacting to them to stop it. There's no connection between what you say to them or what you do to them or any kind of logic or any kind of anger,...
#26
...there's no connection to that. It's all coming to you because of something you did before. And if you do the right thing now it will go away. And if you do the wrong thing now...
#27
...it will keep coming. And you don't need to know more than that to reach nirvana. That's enough to reach nirvana. You have to study karma.
#28
You have to understand how things are planted in your mind. And then everything is clear and then you know what you have to do and you really don't need much more dharma than that.
#29
You want to get out of the bad situations in your life - every single physical and mental pain that you... every unpleasant thing that happens to you throughout the day...
#30
...and they happen all day long, right? Every five minutes or so. It's all coming from you. You have to get used to that. And that's what the first half of the lojong is about, you know.
#31
The whole first half of the lojong is 'Oh, this is happening to me. I must have done that. In the future I won't do this any more.'
#32
You know, one of the students made a very beautiful chart - you will get it with this reading - of all of those verses. You know, they put, 'Problem - somebody is yelling at me...
#33
...or Problem - I get migraine headaches. What is really caused by? I didn't keep the vows I took when I was with a Lama or something like that. How should I fix it? I won't do that any more.
#34
Now I'll keep my vows or something like that.' That's... they actually made a whole chart of everything. It's kind of cool. And as I mentioned last time it's very important to say,...
#35
...especially if you weren't here. If you have a problem with someone, with someone yelling at you all the time, it's because you were... you yelled at other people in the past.
#36
That's the real cause, okay. Does that mean that you're necessarily a yeller in this life? No, okay, and you gotta get used to that, okay. You may be the most quiet simple, nice person in this life...
#37
...who never yells at anybody but it doesn't mean that you don't have that old karma. And that old karma can... people can be yelling at you all day.
#38
So how are you supposed to fix it if you're not a yeller? You see what I mean? What are you supposed to do now? You have to be even more careful than normal people...
#39
...about saying unkind things to other people. That's all. Got it? That's how you stop it. And if you read the first half of the wheel of knives, last time, if you finished and read it,...
#40
...you already know what your particular problem is. You know what was causing it. Now you in particular whether it's a backache or a headache or depression, or feeling upset...
#41
...or being jealous a lot or something like that, mental or physical problems, now you have enough information. You have to stop that particular thing that you saw on the chart there.
#42
So you gotta get a chart during the break, okay. You personally have to be super careful about yelling even the tiniest bit, okay, because you have that problem...
#43
...and you need it to purify that old karma. And the most powerful way to purify it is to avoid it even in the smallest instance. Okay. And now you know everything you need to know.
#44
You don't need to know more than that okay. That was the first half of the wheel of sharp... wheel of knives, okay. Now we get to a sudden break...
#45
...and I warned you about it last time, okay. He's been moaning and groaning about the wheel of knives. He's been saying, 'I did that. It's circled around.
#46
I had this kind of bad things happening to me and I'm... and I'm not going to do that again. Oh and I also have this problem and I've got this problem and this problem and this problem.
#47
And he goes through verse after verse after verse, and he identifies the problem, and he says, I'm not going to do that any more. And then he's getting... if you feel the verses, he's getting uptight.
#48
He's starting to get riled up. And in the beginning he was talking about this tantric deity, you know. He's like saying, 'Lord of Death', you know.
#49
We're going to get to the Lord of Death here sooner or later. This is where we get to it, okay. We're at the point in the... where his whole mood changes, you know.
#50
He's not like this poor guy who's getting migraines... who's trying to figure out where they come from. Now he gets mad.
