20:32 But like Malarepa, he have nothing much, but he imaginary everything. But that imaginary offering, also prayer with offering, prayer. It look like imaginary, but little bit different, you know. payout. Report an error in the passage at 20:32
20:54 Just wishing, wish, wish, I wish some flower comes, something, yeah, yeah, that is also, yeah, yeah, Manjushri or Chenrezig, Samantabhadra, similar you offering, what they did, similar I wish something, yeah. offering look like that. tell the summary. So Geshe-la started by explaining the first three chapters that we're looking at in this text. The first one is explaining the benefits of bodhicitta in great detail. Report an error in the passage at 20:54
21:37 Then the second one is explaining how to prepare for developing bodhicitta. And the third one is explaining how to actually generate bodhicitta. So now we're looking at the second one. And the way that it's saying to prepare for bodhicitta is through what's often referred to as the seven limbs practice. But in this case, they actually add one extra piece, which is a refuge, which is it's not one of the seven pieces usually included in the seven limbs. Report an error in the passage at 21:37
22:06 So Geshe is saying we could think of this as an eight limb practice then. Report an error in the passage at 22:06
22:12 This second chapter, as we were seeing yesterday, goes into a lot of detail about offerings. Mukeshla is saying it's important for us to recognize that the way things are being described in this chapter is coming from the Indian tradition and it's coming from India a long time ago. So if we don't come into that with this recognition, we can become kind of confused and we can think it's a little weird. Report an error in the passage at 22:12
22:37 and we can you know take it i guess too literally and think oh this i guess is the way it's done and not understand why like actually saying no because the the tradition is going to be different in china it's going to be different So the idea that we should have is, if a king were coming to visit me, if a minister were coming to visit me, or if I was going to have a very lavish wedding, you know, something like that, what would I offer? What would I offer to the visiting king? What would I offer to my visiting guests at the wedding? And it's the same type of thing that we want to offer when we're making offerings to the Buddha and to the holy beings. Report an error in the passage at 22:37
23:15 So the reason that these examples are given in the text is because that's what would be offered to a king in that time and that place. But it's going to be different for us. And then Geshe-la is explaining different types of offering. Report an error in the passage at 23:15
23:30 There are the external offerings that we can make. The external offerings that we can make can only be of two types. Either it has to be something that really belongs to us, that we have bought, that we have acquired, non-deceptively, non-negatively, and it's ours to give. Or else it has to be something that's just part of nature, that doesn't have an owner, that doesn't belong to anybody. Either of those two types of things we are free to offer. Report an error in the passage at 23:30
24:13 kind of cheat a little bit in that way. It has to either belong to us or it has to be without an owner. Furthermore, it has to be something, if it does belong to us, has to be something that we acquired without killing directly. Directly or indirectly, so Geshe mentioned yesterday we shouldn't offer meat because there's an indirect act of killing. It has to be something that we acquired without forcefully taking it from somebody and it has to be something that we acquired without kind of stealthily pilfering it, like kind of taking it when nobody was looking, you know, neither through robbing or through stealing as Geshe was explaining. Report an error in the passage at 24:13
24:48 So that's for external offerings. Then we can also offer with our imagination, imaginary offerings. We can visualize and set out beautiful offerings and offer that. Like Milarepa, for example, who didn't have anything physical to offer, did it that way. Then another type which is very similar to the imaginary one is offering through prayers. Report an error in the passage at 24:48
25:13 So it's not so much that we're visualizing and then offering that. It's just kind of wishing. It's just making a wish like, oh, I wish that... offerings would rain upon you and things like that, kind of pray like that. And then yet another type is to offer through a prayer that refers back to the offerings that some other holy being has made in the past. Report an error in the passage at 25:13
25:37 So, oh, just like Manjushri offered, I wish I could offer in the same way, just like Samantabhadra offered, I wish I could offer in the same way, like that. Report an error in the passage at 25:37
25:50 Now we read 18. To those who have the nature of compassion, I offer inestimable palaces resounding with melodious praises, beautified by and blazing with hanging ornaments of gems of pearls that adorn the infinite space. space Report an error in the passage at 25:50

31:33 He said mandalas are not found in the sūtra tradition where this text comes from. It comes from the Kalachakra tradition and the Tantra tradition. But this is very similar. So a mandala is kind of the pure land of a Buddha. So each Buddha, each deity has its own mandala. And this, Geshe-la was just explaining, this is something that's included within the category of imaginary offerings. Report an error in the passage at 31:33
32:07 This is something that, because it would be very difficult for us to really offer. offer, you know, a pure land, So this is something that's included within imaginary offerings. offerings. And that's why I was saying, you know, we look at these mandalas and when we look at the deities inside the mandalas, we might have come up with these questions about like, wow, why do they look like that?

32:30 They look a little strange with like so many heads and so many arms and I guess you'll ask the excellent question of how does Yaman Taka use the toilet? You'd have to have a special custom-built toilet because he has a thousand legs. So, and then if you think of, I'm sorry, I have to say what Geshe said. Report an error in the passage at 32:30
32:50 If you think of Avalokiteshvara with a thousand arms, you have to feel sorry for his mother who gave birth to him. But it's because really it's not like these beings are beings that are reborn this way. It's not like they take birth like this. This is just an emanation of holy beings. They emanate. in that aspect, in that appearance, to represent something. So, for example, Yamantaka, who that name means the Yama of Yama. Report an error in the passage at 32:50
33:20 So, Yama is like a demon. It's an uncontrollable, dangerous demon. So, Yamantaka is the demon of the demons. We're afraid of Yama, and the Yamas are afraid of Yamantaka in the same way. And so, he's represented. Lama Tsongkhapa with demons under his feet. Sometimes if a deity is able to control maras, which are the forces of delusion and so forth, then they'll have a very frightening appearance to show their power.

1:03:19 Sorry practice or purification practice need that. Regret and witness, witness and invite witness, then really do sorry and then need commitment. Next time I never do. Because I understand before I'm ignorant. Now I no ignorant. I understand. I never cheat you. Yeah, this is purification system or logic look like that. Report an error in the passage at 1:03:19
1:04:01 Yes. So Geshe-la here is explaining the logic behind the purification process. Geshe-la mentioned there's three types of practice in Buddhism that we need witnesses for. We need witnesses. To do a purification practice, we need witnesses to take vows and we need witnesses to dedicate the merit. Geshe Lama is explaining there's a difference, we need to appreciate the difference between a dedication of merit versus a prayer. A prayer is just a wish, oh I wish this, I wish that. Report an error in the passage at 1:04:01
1:04:38 For that we don't need witnesses. But if we're dedicating the merit, we're saying, you know, I recognize now that I created this amount of merit by doing this and I want to give this merit, I want to give this merit to others. So we need a witness for that kind of transaction. It's like, let you be my witness that I'm not keeping this for myself, I'm giving this to others. So we need witnesses for that. Report an error in the passage at 1:04:38
1:05:00 For vows, there's a distinction. If we're going to take Vinaya vows, monastic vows, then we need a witness. In fact, Yeshua was explaining in detail how many witnesses you need for different types of vows. If you're going to become a monk, you need the abbot and you need 10 monks as a witness. If you're going to become a nun, you need a male abbot, a female abbess and 10 monks and 10 nuns, 20 total for a witness. Report an error in the passage at 1:05:00
1:05:26 If you're going to take If you're going to take tantric vows, then you need to have a master, a physical human guru to receive the vows from. But if you're going to take Mahāyāna vows, whether the Bodhisattva vows or the eight Mahāyāna vows, for that you don't need a physical guru. You can take it directly from the Buddhas, but you do need to ask for a witness, for all the holy beings to witness you. Report an error in the passage at 1:05:26
1:05:58 So likewise, when we are doing a purification practice, what we're doing really is, the first thing we have to do is we have to appreciate the fact that what we did was a mistake. We have to appreciate that there's negative karma involved in that. We have to realize, man, I shouldn't have done this. Then we apologize, but Geshe is making an excellent point. Report an error in the passage at 1:05:58
1:06:21 You don't apologize to the Buddhas or to the holy beings. You apologize to the one or to the ones that you hurt. He says if you hit one person and then you say, oh Buddha, I'm sorry I hit that person, that's very silly, it makes no sense. So what you do is you apologize to the beings that you harmed and you ask the Buddha to be a witness. Report an error in the passage at 1:06:21
1:06:41 You know, you're saying to the person, I did this because I was ignorant, I was confused, and I'm sorry that I did that, I'm very sorry that I did that. Buddha and Buddhas, all beings, be my witness that I realized it was a mistake. Report an error in the passage at 1:06:41
1:06:56 You try to make it up to the other person as best as you can. You do something to try to make it up to that person. So if you hit somebody, you show that you're sorry and you try to find something that you can give them or do for them to try to make it up to them. And then the final step is you have to make a commitment to that person that I'm not going to make this mistake again. Report an error in the passage at 1:06:56
1:07:19 Now that I realize that it was a mistake, now that I see through the mistake that I made, I'm not going to do this again. And so again for that you want the Buddhas, the holy beings to be a witness to that. Geshe-la was explaining what sounds to me like an amazing tradition that they have I guess in India, that even if a man and a woman fight and have a big falling out, That they have this practice, they'll invite many people over, many friends over to be witnesses to them making up and committing to each other that they're not going to make that same mistake again. Report an error in the passage at 1:07:19
1:07:52 So Geshe is saying this is the logic behind this. This is the way, the mechanism, the way to make sense of the purification and confession practice. Oh yes, purification and dedication, vows, they need witness. Report an error in the passage at 1:07:52
1:08:12 Important need, witness. Oh, yes. Report an error in the passage at 1:08:12
