What is the most important thing about our life?
Is it possible to erase or lessen our karma in this lifetime?
Yes,
What is the most important thing about our life?
Of course it is,
That's why we're engaged in such practice.
Yes,
What is the most important thing about our life?
Because our goal is to free ourselves absolutely from our karma.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
It's a goal that you can achieve or you may not achieve.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
But it's possible for everybody to approach that goal.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
So our everyday life is riddled with suffering.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
And our goal is to free ourselves from that suffering.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
And it is that place of absence of suffering that we are headed to.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
And in the midst of our journey,
We will suffer.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
So you can't say that all this practice is for all for naughts because you still suffer.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
Because if you look at where you started from.
.
.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
.
.
.
You'll realize you've come a long way.
If you look at yourself before you encountered the Dharma.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
That's why you always have to have a positive attitude towards life.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
To believe in that potential and that possibility.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
And you'll realize that you indeed have come a long way if you look at yourself before you encountered the Dharma.
That potential and that possibility.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
But if you look at the ultimate destination.
.
.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
.
.
.
You still have a long way to go and you'll fall multiple times.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
That's why you cannot stop now.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
But if you want to go and do this journey,
Go consistently.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
So it's not important whether you ultimately make it to your destination or not.
Yes,
If you're not going to go,
You'll have to go to the next destination.
Because if you're thinking,
I'll stop now but I want to get there eventually,
That's contradictory.
That's just desire,
Greed.
That's the most important thing.
If you get there quicker than you can't,
Then you are hurrying yourself.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
And that sense of hurry is going to lead to suffering.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
So as we take our step on this journey.
.
.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
And if you fall,
They can just get back up.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
If you fall 10 times,
Get up 11 times.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
Just take that one step forward at a time.
Yes,
That's the most important thing.
Then even if you do this,
Even if before you reach the destination,
You see your mind being at peace.
If you don't get up at the destination,
You will be in peace.
That means that you will still have elements of suffering in your life,
But you don't have to suffer as you live.
That's all for today.
