First 50 subtitle cues from loj_01b.srt
50 cues
#1
is a special ceremony of renewal and purification and it's to purify yourself when you, when you break your... one of your vows,...
#2
...your... either your freedom vows or your bodhisattva vows or your secret vows and so it's a special ceremony. Once a year we do a long , a very long one.
#3
It's a custom during a ritual that you cannot take a book with you, it has to be done from your memory so Rinpoche has been letting us kind of squeak by in the last few years.
#4
And now he's said he's cracking down and he said he wants you to know. So it's a commitment to memorize them but it's what you are putting in your books every day, okay,...
#5
...it's... it's all... it's only that and the point is that if you memorize it you'll... it'll be easier for you to live by it. So if you can do it it's very good. All right.
#6
Last year he played chicken with us and at the last minute he said, okay, you can come anyway but I don't think he's going to do it this year, frankly, okay.
#7
I mean, if you want you could try but I don't think it's going to work. I believe that even if you haven't take a... the initiation you could possibly come for the bodhisattva part...
#8
...but I'm not sure, so we'll... I'll confirm that with him and I'll let you know next Tuesday. As far as teachings out of town, I never charge...
#9
...and I always have these conflicts with centers where I go and they want to charge. So to make it clear, we don't charge and they require some kind of registration fee.
#10
If you don't have any money we'll just talk about it with them, okay, so... excuse me?
#11
They have schol... you know, they always crack... break down at the end so... don't worry about it, you know, send it in if you can but if you can't you're quite welcome to come,...
#12
...and you know, I'll work it out with them, all right?
#13
We're about to study the first half of The Eight Verses and...
#14
I think that's as good as it's going to get though, yeah. This'll be all right. Yeah.
#15
Just by coincidence or... I don't know, but Rinpoche has just come out with a new book and it happens to be about The Eight Verses that came out like, I don't know, a week ago...
#16
...and after, you know, ten years and... which is like, you know, twelve pages a year. So anyway, it's a very beautiful book on The Eight Verses. That's Diamond Lion there on the front.
#17
That's a real carving from the Perfection of Wisdom sutras from Tibet of him. And his rosary's kind of big, I don't know. Anyway, it's a really beautiful commentary that Rinpoche gave.
#18
It's published by our own press which is MSTP. Now, I talked Art into getting me a couple of boxes to bring here to sell and then I got to feeling bad about selling things...
#19
...because we don't like to sell things and then some very bodhisattva student came up to me and paid for it all. So everybody should take one. Yeah.
#20
Who's not clapping. Who's not clapping? You got to... not really.
#21
Yeah, actually we're still short a bit so... so, you know, talk to... the bookkeeper's Fran Dayan; can you raise your hand. She's there.
#22
And there's a box outside if you want to throw it in there. It all goes to the same ocean of expenses. You know. But feel free to take one, okay,...
#23
...it'll be... we'll try to put it at the door as you go out of the class, it's a very beautiful commentary. Yeah?
#24
Oh, technically it's seven dollars, six ninety-five, but we do everything free, so it's free, okay, and if you want to help that's fine if you can. Don't even think about it, okay,...
#25
...it really is free and we don't want you stealing our virtue, okay.
#26
All right.
#27
Lojong Gyatsa (blo sbyong brgya rtsa).
#28
By the way, on the book you'll see and he was one of the first geshes.
#29
Nowadays geshe is a degree but in those days it meant which is spiritual friend.
#30
Spiritual, you know, buddy, and that was the first use of the word geshe was during those days. So he was a geshe, okay.
#31
Say ...
#32
... means , developing the good heart, okay. And is a special kind of book in Tibet, it means a compendium or a collection of s, okay....
#33
... means a hundred, means root text and is a kind of book in Tibet where you go get a bunch of lojongs and you put them in one book, okay.
#34
So if somebody says 'what are you studying, you know, at ACI nowadays', you can say '', you know....
#35
... is a special collection of all the lojong texts that was put together by this brilliant guy about six hundred years ago and his name was......
#36
...(mus chen dkon mchog rgyal mtshon)
#37
Say
#38
I had no idea what meant so I went to see Gene Smith today and he's this brilliant master and, oh, he said, 's this little county in central Tibet like Monmouth County.
#39
So means like Monmouth or something, okay. is his... is his monk's name, okay, .
#40
We don't know his birth date, we don't know his death date, fourteenth century, okay, some time around six hundred years ago.
#41
And he put together a beautiful collection of s and I wish we could read all of them together. We don't have time.
#42
I picked out about the best... well, best... I picked out some sweet ones, okay, you'll be studying about six different s during this course. And some of them are just amazing.
#43
I'm going to go through the... this will be in your syllabus if you have the syllabus, okay. We'll spend today and Tuesday on Diamond Lion which is The Eight Verses.
#44
Which is Rinpoche's book, okay, that you're going to get tonight. ...
#45
...
#46
The next one is by (yang dgon pa), class three. is a lama, a very powerful lama and very much respected...
#47
...and admired in our tradition and we study his books on .
#48
The next one is Seven Points, [b: in Seven Points] and this is a very special that's been studied over the centuries...
#49
...and forms a big part of the Lam Rim teachings, okay. A lot of the Lam Rim teachings are designed off of the Seven Points.
#50
Class six is going to be on the... it's called Freedom from Four Attachments and this is a very special .
