00:00I knew early on that finding truth is not the same as finding happiness.
00:11You aspire to see the truth, but once you have seen it, you cannot avoid suffering.
00:19Otherwise you have seen nothing at all.
00:24There is a song that we like to sing,
00:28I have arrived, I am home.
00:32Mindfulness is to always arrive in the here and the now.
00:37We have been running a lot, but we have not arrived.
00:41We take a vow to not have any personal possessions.
00:44So we don't have money, we don't have a bank account, we don't have a credit card.
00:48If we are always in chaos, that's not a secret sound.
00:52A smile can be a beautiful sound.
00:57So the practice of mindfulness helps us to learn how to live our life deeply.
01:01That way we will not waste our life.
01:07Is your life controlled by someone else higher than yourself?
01:11You know Yoda and Star Wars?
01:13It's a little bit like that.
01:15I have a doggie, this doggie died, so I don't know how to be not so sad.
01:22You look into the sky and you see a beautiful cloud.
01:25The cloud has become the rain, and when you drink your tea, you can see your cloud in your tea.
01:34The past is no longer there, the future is not yet there.
01:38This is only the present moment.
01:41Mountains and rivers, earth and sun, all lie within the heart of consciousness.
01:57All that remained was a deeply rooted peace.
