"All right. So Marcus, we did here in the United States. We did our part. We sent Tom Keene Lisa brahm Woods and John farrow over to the London for ten days to stimulate your economy, but give us a sense of how the average Britain on the street is feeling inflation these days. Well, I mean, we are just, as I said, we better get a much more of a fiscal as coming through. They're going to take the soften the blow of the cost of the energy price rises. Europe did it much earlier. UK has only started capping things now. So in some senses, we're late to that party, probably for good reason we're going to have more of a efficient utility and energy companies left after these things calm down. But there is some tax cuts coming. So at the moment, everyone feels that beaten up and bruised, but a fiscal is coming. And that's surely we're not going to go into the big recession. I think we're going to flatline. Marcus, thank you so much, Marcus.

Lakers Nation Podcast
"brahm" Discussed on Lakers Nation Podcast
"So you've got to have somebody who is comfortable with being off the ball and doesn't feel like they have to have that basketball. While still being able to give you when LeBron is out, the production that you need from the position. That is a fine line to walk. And so far, the Lakers have had two tries on it. They have not found that guy. First with Dennis schroder now with Russell Westbrook. So it would be interesting to see how they approach the position this off season. I just want to address something as well. Somebody mentioned a little brahm was the worst offender by far on the Lakers last season, but per the analytics. I have this first energy, my dear Friends has synergy sports, technology, whatever. LeBron was not the worst defender on the Lakers. As a matter of in terms of points where possession allowed as a matter of fact, it was technically it was Stan Lee and then Ross. But in Stanley's defense, he was guarding one of the perimeter players more often than not. But first energy in terms of points where possession allowed it was Ross. Then mellow, brussel mellow. Yeah. That's anti HTG. He was supposed to be their perimeter defender. Oh, Shakira Reddick says at least Russ has some killer instinct. LeBron has zero. He doesn't know how to kick a team when they're down. I mean, I would argue Russ isn't going to get a team down. I mean, look, is Russ more of kind of the, I'm going to take the ball and I'm going to I'm going to drive to the paint and I'm going to dunk on you, and I'm going to score myself when the game is on the line. Probably. I mean, I think my favorite rust play of the season though, ironically, was rush driving to the basket in Dallas and kicking out to Austin Reeves for three. That was, I thought, probably there were a few that don't come Gobert was fantastic too, but that was probably my favorite rust play, but to say it doesn't have killer instinct. I think that just goes back to a bigger discussion about LeBron and this concept of what killer instinct is and what we expect out of a star player, we saw Jordan. We saw Kobe, who were always the guys taking that to the shots. That's not really how LeBron is wired. His version of how he attacks a game, or closes a game, it's just different than what we see from other star players, particularly those star, like two guards that we've seen, again, we saw Kobe for 20 years here. But LeBron is more the guy that wants to make the right pass in crunch time. And then trust in his teammates, and I'm not saying one's better than the other or one is more masculine or whatever. It's just a different approach. And LeBron gets a lot of flack for that. Sometimes I think he should be more aggressive and attack, but other times you see what he does. He makes the right basketball play and it can pay off. So I've never been one to argue that LeBron is somehow lax killer instinct or lacks aggressiveness or something like that. Because that's the path that he chooses to walk..

"Go in your life. What if you to. The door of my heart was open to i free you. You don't have to be like me you don't have to please me. You don't have to sort of make me proud of you. How i'm already please forty of you because you're my son. Just go off into life. Do what you feel is rising new. Always have my love no matter what you do. You cannot upset me that of which freed the other type of love issues. Now your relationship to your partner. Our love you darling. As long as you're nice to meet you cook well you give me this. If you don't play around with other people you always speak. i see to be proper. It's always know with strings attached to types of life and of course this sort of love which are or has is like a love which frees because the idea of rebellion is freedom freeing some attachments of some sort of chains and sometimes those traditions. Especially when you you misunderstood with us. They just made more chains less freedom. We're really supposed to be coming from freedom. Coming from a sense of love which can free somebody and this is what original partisan was freeing people from those obstructions from the first of all from the from the burden of so many possessions freeing people from the past and future freeing people that love which can freer the love which can be at peace with yourself. You can set yourself. Door is open to me. Not after i changed myself to be a goody goody but me right now as i am all my fault so why am with all my parts. I can love me for who i am. That's the type of love which is free and this is of the essence there but to be able to do that. You have to go. Sometimes it gains after rebel. Basically you have to think for yourself and challenge and argue. And that's why. I love buddhism because that was one religion. I could argue. I could challenge. I could ask questions and the more you'd ask us questions and we'll be respected when you did challenge argue and ask questions if someone like he never get angry. You never say no. It says in the book no. My teacher said this is what you're supposed to do. He'd actually encourage you to keep questioning finance asking those questions to creep investigating. He too was rebel. Just the booder most marks where he came from live in the villages or the cities and they would like many of you know some of the monks in tired answer lanker burma and other places. No seeking for wealthy fame and wealth. Trying to be comfortable. And yeah you can have accountable. Life is a marketing. Some of these cultures don't have to go to work. just give a few tolls kinda people now feed. You wouldn't even give you money. It said no. That's not the type of manca wouldn't be so. They said no money for monks in my monastery. It's an old role but now my mouth don't keep their they will keep her the rules of simplicity and frugality and he was a rebel. I remember being in this monastery. Where a group of monks came from bangkok near the senior monks to check him out. Because they'd heard that now he was not doing things. The where other monster. When they saw he was very good mark so that after milan but he's still stirred things up and change things. Not because it was going against the tradition but because he was embodying the tradition was abandoning the containers. Some of the ways to put us in with expressed in town and at the time but he was very much conserving. The contents the simplicity and frugality among cohen piece. There love the heart of the tradition. And unfortunately sometimes the traditions to get ossified. We do need rebels. And don't look at me. I'm looking at you you bill. Because we're that we're betting without thinking for yourself. People might come here every friday and become close of myself. Whoever teaches here. Please don't do that. I'm going to try and teach you how to think for yourselves. Rather than just nothing. Like i am to donors. I say like action being the the crab with the sort of the badge. And then everybody elder disciples of that crap. Also have paddock's you know. I tell terrible jokes. Please repeat that some people why that's my sobat lake so instead of that sort of we get this content so our traditions and when we get the contents of our traditions rights and the ways he expressed from time to time from year to year from country to country it will change and it should change but the heart is always being there the same so one of the things. I'm actually quite proud of my predecessor. Cheb was quite proud of the even though. No i was ordained in thailand. This is not a time. Honestly we don't just get of people coming here very pleased to see. Somebody's many things. So many burmese vietnamese. Malaysians singaporeans caucasians. This is one great success of this community here to get all the people come together from so many different traditions and even died from tibetan and traditions. I know this many people who come here on a friday night and saturday sunday the goto. The gopher drought mahayana temple or go to church. Really a go. The moss really in this is what was supposed to be doing. What can you go to the mosque. Do you have to be a muslim to go to the mosque. Do you have to be a buddhist to come to the temple. Talking about our tradition is much deeper than any of that tradition of wisdom of truth freedom of laugh. Say wherever you hear that wherever you can actually learn more about that go there. Because that's our tradition so it's very hard to put your name on what that tradition is but you get the point here. This summit will never change in in life just for example another example just yesterday. I was teaching at a seminar house about death and dying at different traditions. Special right palliative care when people are dying. That's a very interesting little subject. But i was the only one to bring up the fact that one one strategy of palliative care which no one else the other religions have the guts to to being was euthanasia as part of pattern of sometimes the most compassionate and kind thing to in some situations as many of you i think would accept but is that traditional just because it hasn't been done before she has been done before we know the first person in the whole world who was given legally assisted use a nice year. Was mr dead. Put us from darwin buddhist. Quite proud of that. Why did he do that because he was wasn't fame self. It wasn't depressed.

"A spike similarly and some people have these very long spikes and never really sharp on the end of the spikes are sort of not other. Bob says well you know such people. The very spiky people when they come into the room. You feel so uncomfortable straightaway. you know. They're just so spiky and there's a nice lovely idea. Most people have got average bikes just like here. In other words they can come into anything but you get too close. You get scratched you know when you try and form a relationship with someone get too close personal space may scratch your such people get close enough. But they've got the limits to some people got no spikes until they're not going to judge you they're not going to scratch and you can come close as you want and you totally safe that similarly of that monk i know so beautiful to actually receive real love. Now you're not going to be charged a toll. Even the my father told me dog. My heart's opened to you know he didn't have a total life is pretty close but he was still be judging me into snow. Be do better blaming me for listening to jimi hendrix. What i should be watching. Listen to frank sinatra who he thought was much better. Some people just got no spikes at all totally non charging and i told tell you but now that if anything is a winner when you're not judging about winning and losing a tour which means you're totally free from the striving of life to attain to get to be something you never will be to win competition which you've never will win so many people are doing you understand that you can watch a game of soccer on the tv or football doesn't matter who wins a great game and you realize you can't control these things. I've seen people airports just passing by there watching a game of football or soccer tennis and they're shouting at the screen as if they can influence the match by how hard they show. And that's actually what happens because when people watch tv where the world cup of football or tennis you under the delusion if you shout hard enough with you exert some will you can actually influence the match. No way would you inference. That match is gonna win all those despite you so just shut up. stop shouting. They can't he even. If you're actually at the match itself you know sort of over here. Subiakto over them. The prey and eagles or something local football teams. You shout. they can't hear you. We're just too focused on the guy. Which is some noise in the background. That's all i hear so look all that shouting all that anger. It doesn't influence that guy. What it does influences influences your state of happiness or suffering. Yuping absolutely stupid getting angry or giving getting depressed or even just getting overjoyed when your team actually wins does even the worst solution you see when your team wins. Everybody said a bright. So i got absolutely crazy and bananas. They really an honest crise by celebrating when they win because all they're doing is just opening themselves out for suffering the next day when they lose this nothing to do with people's ability. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose in life. The world dominance. This has to happen. The spiritual path realizes that this is just destroying people's friendships happiness love and peace. There a danger to such sport. 'cause we take that competition into our workplace into our families and family becomes sanders. I work pays becomes winners loses. A life is just a competition always struggling to get to the top and never being able to reach that and thereby just having no happiness piece missing the point of life. it's not winning and losing. It's just loving finding peace if you win but with who you are learning how to rest learning how to enjoy this moment anyhow to be so good enough. You don't need to win. you don't need to be better than your are just need to accept yourself for who you are be yourself. You find that if want to accept yourself as she won't be yourself you find your beautiful enough and that's one of us life not to try and be any better or any worse but just to be at peace with yourself as she watched. Stop chatty you not better not worse you not the same. You just do that. So there's not any other being in this whole planet the same issue. There's never any sort of conserve little flower. There's never one flower anywhere else in the world. What in your garden. Isn't that a beautiful time to stand. There's never any other being just like you anywhere in the whole universe. You're not better. You not worse you know the same. So stop chatting yourself is no another being in the whole universe. The person you live with the totally unique and not the best. Not the worst. The not the same the average. It is seven that so if you know that you can actually learn how to be a person with no spikes maybe they can also be spiked with as well. They have a wonderful time together. Maybe we can take off the spice in what other people in this world so where we don't judge each other. We can have each other for who we are much of the problem psychological social health problems will vanish in this world. We're not spending so much time competing with each other and why we have. We going in the so-called well cup of life. Just be and enjoy ourselves so that's the talk about no winning notice. He know the same. And if i'd have to get angry.

"Which and that's a traditional story. I'm not making that up weights points. The my realized he wasn't enlightened after. We're back over to the ardor and meditate for many many more years so again he don't judge things even in the spiritual path in. Oh that's one of the reasons why sometimes people are among so the nuns who come here. Are you enlightened here. You know we never answer that question. There's many reasons one of those reasons is because if he were ever line would never say so. You not judging it being like. It's not some attainment something which all now. I've got my degree. I got my. Ba now my ma. Now my phd. This is not slip things of the world. this is a totally different direction. This is not being anyone not judging yourself being free of all those judgments because if you have those those judgments of yourself i am enlightened. I am this. I am the if people come along. If you ever hear anybody sitting up here or any other places i been lined you can know for sure. They're simply because making this judgment themselves. Who they think they are which is totally against the wisdom of the border. We all know that one of the deep teachings of buddhism is emptiness non-self. There's no were no one who said to be enlightened if there's no one in there is that to be charged. How can you charge. A river or wind is just as beautiful. Process is part of nature. And this the fact if you do judge people do judge yourself. That's a sign. You haven't understood the truth. Society not free yet is a sign. When you have that judgment is still about winning and losing in the path spirituality. It's not about winning and losing. It's not about attaining teach shower. Too often say we meditate not to attain things but to let go of things. Just see how much we can disappear not as how big ego. We could make an have more attainment so more things to to boast about to say how good we are how great we are and so when we start understanding this it does mean we understand is how this part of buddhism this path of letting this pather judge non. Judging is essential for spiritually healthy life evening mahayana. The third san patriarch said. The party's is easy for those without preferences. That was a very famous. Say you might say for those who don't judge which is say was having no preferences the path assisi for those people not charging. I think you know that if somebody comes up to you they're not charging you. How do you relate to them. They're this beautiful person. Who's not judging you a toll. I think i mentioned recently somewhere. Please excuse me. I give so many talks. I don't know which talk i gave here. But i do. Remember this one of the great monks which i had the privilege to meet was among called agent. Tate whose monastery was on the banks of the american river just to the The west of Nankai a long way to the west and he was one of these monks. When i first went to see him i went into his presence. And you realized right away. This was a person who's never going to judge. You and i felt so peaceful because any other place which had been in my life. I was always feeding that somebody was going to judge me. Assess my performance and say you're good monk bad michael somewhere in between and that was so much pressure on me and here was the first one of the first times i met a being could sit there and there was no charging tall. He would accept. We totally for who i was. Why so stupid and that felt so wonderful. I never actually hot in one. Leave that price now. Hopefully you've met people like that. Who will never judge you. You don't have to live up to some sort of goal to please them. You don't have to do things to sort of gain their love. They just give it totally freely not asking anything of. You're not judging you not assessing you that such a rare experience in this world you go the shopping center you go to work you go at home. Your partner you fit is always judging you and you can never relax. You never feel. You're totally loved kids. Mom and dad always judging me. I'll never good enough at school. I never good enough at this. Always being judged. They're never feel their loved. They could never feel peace so being in the presence of someone who just would not yet you to him. There was no witness unders. It taught me the know from experience. The beautiful being in the presence of someone who just accepts you for who you are whatever that happens to be and that taught me a lot about what environment is what pieces not trying to live up to some ideal not trying to sort of win some go but what she totally abandoned the very idea of winning to see if you can get beyond now the perception of jackie and just to look at someone i love them for who they are to be at peace with them for who they are a look. I've been around some really really strange characters. Just yesterday i was in the secure ward of lance. Just meetings a few people and just let alone being. In sort of physically broadmoor the prison for the criminally insane. In sort of england. I say not as a resident visitor to place. But it's wonderful when you don't judge anybody you can see that person in those institutions where everyone else is trying to assess them and you just on assess material. You don't charge them. They're not a loser because they're in jail. Not a winner because of in some big mansion in Peppermint grove you. just you. don't judge them all. It is being another person on this planet. Totally unique not better not worse not the same as anybody else so you don't judge them which means you can love them. You can be at peace with them and they connect you realize this is one being in this world would accept them totally for who they are. They don't have to to live up to somebody else's expectations that don't have to struggle to be something different than they are as a huge amounts of of growth pace and freedom and all the very reasons why people do these stupid things to get themselves into jail on these prices. All their psychosis can actually disappear there. When they're not charged. Accept it just as you will know if you would find a partner could love you for who you were. You didn't have to live up to them at all about to any expectations wouldn't that be bliss. Alaska somebody you can just be yourself. And you're not being judged assist. You don't have sort of some exam to take every time you go. You don't have some pressure on you to pass every time you go to work. You don't have this this struggle just to be accepted every time you with your fence. He just be yourself because now when he's judging you're not judging other people and that's real peace that's real freedom which is why if you ever find anybody who says at burma's our best month stupid. He's not the best monk he's not the worst mark. he's not the same as every other mark. Everyone is absolutely totally different. But just please. Don't judge anybody turn shush me and turn church yourself either and especially the person you live with. Try on them first of all just to sail. If i'm not going to judge you anymore so you can at least be with somebody who's going to accept you for who you who you are going back to. That story with this mon- catching titan in northeast thailand. He's dead now. He was one of these guys.

Do you wanna die so he said what if i'm gonna die multiple die monastery so he left. Went up to his monastery in so the northeast about thirty years later he died of old age. I love those stories. You know what's going to have so you went to diners. That might be twenty five years later when he died of old age but anyway his cancer just disappeared but seventy one said.

"Is that because the winning and losing ethic which has been rammed into a since very very young which is reinforced in the sports which we watch in the tv shows which we spend too much time looking at in a career in which again there were winners and losers is rammed into a so much when we start judging ourselves and judge ourselves on fairly. We always end up his loses. How many of you really. You're a winner in life winners a few losers many when you start chachi. This is a problem. So it's best not to judge all just to accept yourself for who you are to make peace with yourself and not to give yourself marks out of ten. How you've done today if you start doing things like that you end up as louis and we ended up as sluices lack of self esteem depression and this is also where anger comes from where well feels bad about oneself. I guess angry other people where my feels good about what so. We don't need to get angry. Anybody all anger comes from that person. Getting angry feeding rotten about themselves having no happiness feeling down depressed upset despondent night. Just take it out on other people. All anger is the person just taking out this suffering on somebody else reading about. You never find happy. People getting angry content people. Don't get angry. that's one of the size where the person really understands now. The spiritual profit. Just don't get angry at the people that's why every have any manco non sitting up here you want us to and find out where that particular monkeys at then just listened to their talk. Try and make them angry. See if they bite the bullet and they really do get angry. Because that's always the case is a classic story in input assir about this monk this monk could be. He was a young monk and he really wanted to become enlightened in a. He was really did and very strict with himself. And he was meditating in this modest supposed to be in china many centuries ago and afterward he said we're not my meditation. My practice is getting very very strong. Bats i think he's a bit too noisy in a monastery. Not far away is a lake in the middle of the lake is an island is uninhabited. Can i build a little hermitage on the island. And all i would ask is just once a week if you could just send food to me and i'll just look after myself and i'll spend the rest of the time in solitude meditating and the abbot of the monastery said why not. So you know. I'll help and i sort of get the funds for your house. So the mount made a very simple hearts and then every week. What are the attendance would roll over from the monastery taking supplies and the monk. He was so strict he wouldn't even say anything would just write on a piece of paper or what he wanted for the next week and he was living like that for three years as a hermit in silence. I only saying the attendant once a week after three years he decided he was enlightened. The he'd made it. What do you do when you become in line to get off the island. So what he did. When the attendant visited he wrote on a piece of paper that he wanted notice ordinary piece of paper he wanted some parchment. Anna quail and some fine inc. He was going to write some calligraphy so the next week the parchment the ink and quill came and the monk had one week to ride his calligraphy so he meditated very very deeply and then what after the when. They came out of deep meditation but his mind was very clear. He unrolled a parchment. He dipped the quill in the ink and he wrote in exquisite calligraphy. No some of these charges calligraphy is worth a fortune. It's like they are works of art and he wrote in these chinese characters. The translation went this of the diligent. Monk alone for three years is no longer moved by the fall. Worldly wins the diligent. Monk alone for three years is no longer moved by the fall. Worldly wins now that simple to cement your enlightened any wins you to start move at all and that and he realized that was a very beautiful piece of calligraphy and a very eloquent way of showing that. You've done your job and finished your enlightened and he wrote up the piece of parchment when it dried and he gave it to the attend the next time saying on the piece of paper. Give it to the app and you waited a week for the abbots response when the response came it was his squad department again and he opened up the skull department and his eyes got wide and his jaw dropped when he saw. The abbot had scrawled on the first line of his beautiful calligraphy the digit month his squirrel to fall letters f. a. t. fart and you look to the next line alone for three years this time. In capital letters f. a. T. is no longer moved now f. a. r. t. with the next cremation mark next to it by the four worldly wins the biggest four letters. Fa a. r. t. underlying with three exclamation marks and that was his beautiful calligraphy totally ruined by the stupid apper and that was really upset. He sort of ran down to the side of the The edge of the island cold the attendant back and said take me to that stupid aber so attended came back and wrote him over to the monastery. The monks stormed into the abbas. Swim slammed a piece of parchment on the table. And said you just really beautiful piece of calligraphy and you don't even understand mean lined stupid abbott. And that's when the app unrolled a piece of paper stood up and said very side very calmly. He read his poem. That diligent monk alone for three years is no longer mood by the four. Wealthy wins yet.

"If you don't even judge yourself when you don't charge yourself now. This is just who i am. This is just how i speak. This is just how i behave. This is just how bomb gives his talks. When you don't judge then you become a peace with yourself you relax. The strange thing is that sometimes we judge ourselves seeking by that way. We can become better people. If i can actually find out where i am in my spiritual life. They're not can maybe do better now. You're missing the point in that way. If you start charging yourself you just screw up the spiritual path you not at peace with yourself. You haven't got any kindness compassionate towards yourself when you judge yourself trying to as you're hating yourself you want wanna be better to judge yourself. You want to do a little bit better. Which means you hate where you are. Now you're not at peace with where you are now so all judging means you can do better. It's striving it's more struggle more no peace in this life one of the stories which comes to my mind now. It was i one of these out of the body experience toys which was written in german book which one of our monks translated for me and it stuck in my mind ever since there was a young boy who's having some sort of operational had an accident to the floated out of his body a near death experience and he said he never flooded out of his body and when a long way away through this forest where he came to a shed and in the shed there was a guy with a book and he said. What's your name. You weren't in the book therefore you know you can't die. You have to go back. But he said i've seen show here just have a look at what goes on. And obviously he remembered all of this and he told people got put in this book. An interesting thing. Was this next person who came along with a german farmer and this guy with the books that your names down here your dead. But i want to ask you a question now. Heavy ever killed any animals while you being a farm. He said no no no. I never killed any animals and the guy with a book turn around to the kids even though he's dead he's lying through his teeth. This is amazing. Just how how. Many times people are taking people. Don't understand what you up to people understand but then actually was talking with this father who just died there was another guy just went right past his sheridan way up into the sky and the little boy said on. You can ask him what he's done. And this is the reason i remember this story because the person with the book said no. That man has never judged anyone throughout his whole life. Therefore we're not going to judge him. he's off to some having well. I thought wow what a beautiful atlantic because he never judged anybody else therefore he warned judge himself therefore he will be at peace there he will be free therefore he'll be in heaven in this life and the heaven and any future as well because all that judging which we do that creates the hell realms that creates the pain that chris the trouble that creates a winning and losing. It's just another judgment game. How on earth can you judge anybody even the whole idea of winning and losing just because a person scores more goals in the slower soccer match. Have they won that match to me. Just coming out with the big score doesn't mean you've one usually conventionally speaking to the secular world yes you one but to me. The team which has been kind of they've done the best they really may be Haven't had as many resources. Expensive prize is great facilities. But they've never really sort of done very well. They're the witness is not just the people who scored the most goals or the most points are the winners in my book so he doesn't judge that way. How can you charge. How can you know so much about the other person or even about yourself to be able to judge them and a great thing happens when you stop. Judging when there are no winners and losers. They're not the same. They're not worse not better. You just can't judge them which means you just accept people for who they are without sort of all this judge business. It means you also accept yourself as you are with all this judge business again. It was a wonderful insight for me not to have to keep judging myself and came asking are how was talk. This evening is my meditation. How many how many marks out of ten. You're gonna give this talk tonight. All that sort of stuff. It just doesn't make any sense to me because what it really does is who can actually say how can i who is actually able to judge. Who is actually able to know enough about how i feel about you. Feel about all the situations that give a fair judgment is totally inappropriate. And you know what it's like to be judged. Maybe this week someone is judged. You unfairly misunderstood what you did or what you said or what you meant. And they've assumed some sort of bad intention bad action or something bad about you being judged unfairly. It's not today many many times in your life. You'd be badly judged unfairly charge. You know how much it hers. I know other people have done that to you. How many times you've done that to other people. You know it's just it's wrong is hurtful and creates too much unhappiness in this world but more than that you know you touch other people fairly as other people judged you unfairly. How many times have you judged yourself unfairly now. We get into the nub of much of the suffering in life we judge ourselves. So i'm fairly..

"Because even when i was at school now all the teachers had to take assembly and when it was my week to take the assembly i. I thought the meditation as a first time. I taught people meditation. Six hundred fifty kids from eleven to eighteen. I say right. Sit down straight backs. Watch your breath. And i did that and everybody followed. Orders is only afterwards. One of the teachers said what would you have done. Is somebody started giggling. 'cause you know what it's like kids we're one starts. They all start out of loss there. But i never thought that would happen because i never thought that would happen. Everybody actually was quiet and they meditated and there was no jokers. Quietest time that school has ever been six hundred fifty. Children absolutely silent meditating offer. It's only five minutes. They gave me a round of applause afterwards and the kids loved it stillness but anyway anyway that this was many many years ago people knew our support east and so at the end of the year when i gave out the report card this kid came thirtieth and he was getting very upset and i had to teach him some buddhism. I went up to him and told him you come thirtieth the last in his whole class. You know there's something. In buddhism we call the body sat for the bodey satphone borders misawa who sacrifices their happiness for the sake of others said. This is what you've done this year. You've sacrificed yourself. By taking a thirtieth position in this class of thirty out of compassion. For all your fellow students who don't have to take this terrible position. You've done this voluntarily out of the beauty of your heart so that no one else has to face their parents with this terrible report card your socially great sacrifice. You haven't thought about yourself. You thought about all the other children in the class because you just want them to be happy. You don't care about yourself you're so selfless your body that for and this year. We're going to give you the police saffir prize for become bottom of the class. What i was doing there was actually saying that. You're not a loser. Because in buddhism the people come top there the arrogant smart asses. They've got no compassionate have gotten no humility. Just op themselves. So just the real people the ones who sacrifice themselves others the ones who just take that bottom position so that no one else does. That is why. I once did actually contemplate starting a buddhist football team run on buddhist principles. And how would that run. It meant if the other team wanted to bowl so much you would give it to them of course is compassion and if they couldn't score go soccer youths go full the one that be happy all other beings we happy and were winning and losing was not the point which is making people happy being when i mentioned that story at one group. They said we've already got to put this football team. It's called a west coast. Eagles winning gets all the always for those listening overseas. That's the local. Afl australian football league teams second bottom of the ladder. I think some of that not doing very well. Because they're the body sat for team this year sacrificing happiness. So other people could do better than they. But that's that's a wonderful little concept there which is part of buddhism. The fact is it's not a winning. That's not the point. What is the point as being kind being friendly and having a wonderful life together having a good game while being the one who comes out on top and if one understands what. I'm talking about this. Winning and losing is making the wrong priorities in life and where we make winning the priority in life it means being dominant being the winner being proud of being arrogant. This something again spiritually lautern about that. Creating a lot of conceit sinking. What is better than other people. another thing which. I was very impressed with when i first investigated this was this idea of conceit and i always understood. I thought that pride you know was obviously something we should know. Spiritual tradition should really accommodate. Now saying i'm better than you. I've got the best tradition. That buddhism is better than christianity all that sort of conceit business thinking. Somebody is better than others. That never really sort of jelled with me. There was something wrong with that and when i came across buddhism and ahead of acetates. There's actually three types of conceit and they're all morally bankrupt all sides of lack of wisdom of total delusion not understanding the way things truly are and those three types of conceit all illusion or dangerous. Illusion those three types of conceit. Is the office while taking your better than somebody else. And the second one is seeking your worse than somebody else. Let is also concede and a third one. Shot me thinking the same as everybody else all a total delusion and you should know that there's no two people in this room who are the same as each other. You're not equal nor is there anyone in this room better than anybody else. No worse than anybody else because once we have that better that worse or the side we just have more league tables more winners loses and all the the psychological problems which come from winning losing or being in the middle of the table. And what does that no. There's no there's no worse. There's no the same that whole idea of comparison and judging said now that's where the problem nice cause wins and loses. We're just judging that somebody was better than somebody else. Another person was worse when you have a draw that same that whole judging is bankrupt if wisdom and is is harmful of kindness so when we don't judge other people we don't compare we don't put them into league tables it means we are being able to love a person for who they are rather than putting him into a into a league table judging them because as soon as you start touching person you start checking yourself when you judge yourself you can always be better which means you're not good enough. Which means you get depressed. You get upset. You get angry and you get all the psychological problems win..

"Being happy here and they're happy to be here is the buddha's happiness and this desire taking us into the future so the other type of design that the browns talks about is freedom from desire and this is what the other is offering and of course. This is the third. And i won't ruth that when we let go of wanting things to be different from what they are. It's worth while noting you know. Sometimes it is okay to want things to be different if they're if they're unjust or unfair or painful at that time and to do what one can do but if one can't change things that present moment is wisdom to accept. This is how it is for better or for worse and so that is the the the freedom from design when we can't accept things as they are in this moment. It doesn't mean that they can't change because this is in a in a moment few moments it could change completely and and other possibilities may arise but whatever we experiencing at this moment it's arrived. Had we do with that. So this is part of the wisdom of freedom from desire and of course you know. The part of the freedom from desire is to teach us simplicity. You know simply to simplify our lives so that we're not overloaded by choice. And i heard very nice talk by john. Brahm code last last week from last year called simplicity to the max and it is this funeral of desires funerals of wishes which leads to things being simpler. You know if you look at our lives often after thing. Is that really all there. Is you know terms of an necessities. As i mentioned this clothing this food. There's housing and the is medicine and and yet we can make so much of that and we. Can you know we can really go. Go to the max with that action. You see that is often the case always like that saying one comedian said. Don't try to keep up with the joneses. Drag them down to your level is good. I don't know who said i can't remember. Should i should google it. I'm sure you find out who who said. I'm sure many people said that. So this is the freedom from desire. Of course the third. And i won't truth. And what does what's the result of when we go. This is what happens when we accept the present moment as it is. Let go of these desires. What happens we become more peaceful. The mind gets a sense of relief since vis a sense of joy. Because it's not focused. Hasn't got all this work to do to to get a what what we want because this is what the what wanting does it gives us a lot of work. We have to work hard to get these things that we want. And as i've been saying to people often mentioned it and often get what we want. We don't want it anymore. It's amazing and i often mentioned that one of the sages in america used that as a song. When you get what you want. You don't want it anymore. Do you know who it was. I've used it before. So many people must know this great sage wisdom marilyn monroe. I don't think she listened to the song she sang. She didn't listen to very so. This is this is desire. We're being freed from desire and the actual fact this is it takes border to realize that because for most people you tell them that wanting is the cause of suffering. That's all come on. That's rich cow. Believe it you know and and yet when you look at if you look at it logically you can say yeah. He's right. yeah he's right and so this is something that Buddha sees you might say it was the obvious but it's something that we overlook we think that craving we think that wanting we think desire is how it's going to make us happy and if we didn't have this we would be without hope without happiness and it's quite the opposite and of course the other the other aspects of that we attract by version. We talk about that. But unlike design desire is actually one of the strongest. Things that keeps us getting reborn. You know the desire to to get to be to be reunited with those things that we liked from this live provider. We've got the good karma to be reborn in a similar situation. So this is actually. I call it. The tap root of samsar is what keeps us coming back and again and again and the other defilement actually version particularly can relate to this very much. You don't get what we want we can. We can get very angry upset. And it's so obvious this is suffering and the border is teaching us ways to deal with this to free us from the suffering over version. So what do people think is the main way the teachers to be freed of aversion to me liberated from it. Yes loving. thanks kim. That's loving coin. Exactly because loving kindnesses makes the mind. It's a peaceful. It's a happy state of mind. Kind state of mind friendly state of mind but i always say to people if we are upset or with the person situation. Let's say even with ourselves. I don't know how years maybe person who needs loving kindness. I is ourselves. You know if we're angry with our neighbor or partner We need to the loving kindness. Partner may not be upset..

"It is good to see seventy people this evening but it's worth booths three months. B- can always say some golden oldies on youtube of those really really desperate. You can always come to monastery or even better. Terrace will announce if you haven't seen already on the twelfth of august cut university. That's just about a month from now. So if you re so desperate and four weeks time. We had giving a talk at curtin university in the evening on wednesday evening. Seven to eight at john brahm. I is archbishop halved the agronaut bishops the clouds will be on just have a good time on the subject of jesus met the buddha what they say to each other. I know whether i would say it's a turn water into wine. That's breaking your precepts anyway. Tonight's talk. I wanted to do a special. The you're not just because it's the last topic because for those of you who were here last week to stay behind. You would've noticed this excitement. One of the members of becoming for awhile just talking to me just passed out and died so he died. Actually just right where. This gentleman is sitting right now but his name was robert and he was a member. Sort of dedicate this talk to him so wonderful thing to do because given me the privilege. I've had that privilege several times of being with somebody and watching them die. And it's not something which you afraid of. It's not something which disturbed by something which is a very beautiful moment in a person's life journey the moment of their death. And so the topic for this evening's talk his is how to die well by living will and of course we all know. We're gonna die one day but it's a nice reflection which put kept on asking the monks in any case to keep reminding yourself that one day you will die and what it does. It means that we learn how to live well and a person who lives where i've seen so many times because this is part of my life. I have a really interesting job of being a monk. I can really recommend a macabre. Non is a lifestyle which people just don't appreciate. It's sitting in your cave all day meditating. They'll be doing a lot of that in the next few months. Sometimes you know you with people when they're dying go into prisons and now you can actually have meet the queen and work sort of you know in the gutters with all the other mass can use. Oh filthy dirty and you have all this amazing life natoli in the icu unit and a meet all these interesting people like watcher penrose discovery of black holes and having dinner with him. I just had some chocolate. And but i'm going to give a black hole in here when it comes to chalk it just disappears that my throat. It goes and all these other really interesting. People should get to meet as of mark but one of the things which i really enjoy and you may feel. It's a strange thing to say. This is being funeral. Services kazaa reminded about the important things in life and how a person can live. Well and again. I've always noticed the people who live beautifully in other words a kind generous and understand what's important in life is the people you see them when they're dying and you with them so that whole process and they die beautifully gracefully inspiring. The why they do that because they've lived well they have been kind. They have been gentle and that attitude by which they've lived their life there. It's for them when they die. And that's why. I have this beautiful opportunity seeing so many incredibly wonderful people in that dying process. And you with an it's not paying for all is as if you're being with a person i like sort like interestingly like symphonies i used to love music before i was among. It's one of those things you can't do as listen to music except one of the exceptions funeral services because every now and again they pay the person's favorite music because i'm the age now that many people my age at dying when they play the favorite music and service. Sometimes it's being used to like so remember. Just go to run funeral service and they can bashed year and they were playing jimi hendrix because that's what the guidelines light when he died and that's what i used to like so you get this sort of age people. My age are popping off. I listen to this music to listen to otherwise so anyway. I like the idea of symphony. Because another great symphonies. And they have this team and they just build up. This beautiful crescendo. Which is at the very end man. That's like a person's life. And sometimes that crescendo is just last moments of life when they're with their family and loved ones
