in the six worlds then you go up from 00:04:53
in the six worlds then you go up from the human beings to the Devas and then 00:04:53
the human beings to the Devas and then 00:04:55
the human beings to the Devas and then you start coming down again the next 00:04:55

the Purgatory's again now all these needn't be taken literally there are 00:05:18
needn't be taken literally there are 00:05:20
needn't be taken literally there are different modalities of the human mind 00:05:20
different modalities of the human mind 00:05:22
different modalities of the human mind we are in the Naraka world when we are 00:05:22
we are in the Naraka world when we are 00:05:25
we are in the Naraka world when we are frustrated and in torment when we are 00:05:25
frustrated and in torment when we are 00:05:28

and when we are dumb we're in the animal world so these are all modalities and it 00:05:46
world so these are all modalities and it 00:05:53
world so these are all modalities and it would be said now this is terribly 00:05:53
would be said now this is terribly 00:05:56
would be said now this is terribly important to understand Buddhism because 00:05:56
important to understand Buddhism because 00:06:00
important to understand Buddhism because the better you get the more you go up to 00:06:00
the better you get the more you go up to 00:06:03
the better you get the more you go up to the devil world the worst you get the 00:06:03
the devil world the worst you get the 00:06:05
the devil world the worst you get the more you go down to the naraka world but 00:06:05
more you go down to the naraka world but 00:06:08
more you go down to the naraka world but everything that goes up has to come down 00:06:08
so you can't improve yourself 00:06:11
so you can't improve yourself 00:06:14
so you can't improve yourself indefinitely if you improve yourself 00:06:14
indefinitely if you improve yourself 00:06:18
indefinitely if you improve yourself beyond a certain limit you can simply 00:06:18
beyond a certain limit you can simply 00:06:20
beyond a certain limit you can simply start to get worse like when you make a 00:06:20
start to get worse like when you make a 00:06:22
start to get worse like when you make a knife too sharp it begins to wear away 00:06:22
so the Buddhahood or liberation 00:06:28
so the Buddhahood or liberation 00:06:32
so the Buddhahood or liberation enlightenment is on no place on the 00:06:32
enlightenment is on no place on the 00:06:35
enlightenment is on no place on the wheel unless it might be the center 00:06:35
wheel unless it might be the center 00:06:40
wheel unless it might be the center by ascending by becoming better you tie 00:06:40
by ascending by becoming better you tie 00:06:45
by ascending by becoming better you tie yourself to the wheel by gold chains by 00:06:45
yourself to the wheel by gold chains by 00:06:48
yourself to the wheel by gold chains by Rhett regressing and becoming worse you 00:06:49
Rhett regressing and becoming worse you 00:06:51
Rhett regressing and becoming worse you tie yourself to the wheel with iron 00:06:51
tie yourself to the wheel with iron 00:06:53
tie yourself to the wheel with iron chains but the Buddha is one who gets 00:06:53
chains but the Buddha is one who gets 00:06:57
chains but the Buddha is one who gets rid of the chains altogether and so this 00:06:57
rid of the chains altogether and so this 00:07:02
rid of the chains altogether and so this will explain why Buddhism 00:07:02
will explain why Buddhism 00:07:04
will explain why Buddhism unlike Judaism and unlike Christianity 00:07:04
unlike Judaism and unlike Christianity 00:07:06
unlike Judaism and unlike Christianity is not very very frantically concerned 00:07:06
is not very very frantically concerned 00:07:11
is not very very frantically concerned with being good it is concerned with 00:07:11
with being good it is concerned with 00:07:14
with being good it is concerned with being wise it is concerned with being 00:07:14
being wise it is concerned with being 00:07:18
being wise it is concerned with being compassionate is a little different from 00:07:18
compassionate is a little different from 00:07:21
compassionate is a little different from being good with having tremendous 00:07:21
being good with having tremendous 00:07:25
being good with having tremendous sympathy and understanding and respect 00:07:25
sympathy and understanding and respect 00:07:27

know that their it but who are playing the very far-out game of being you and I 00:07:33
the very far-out game of being you and I 00:07:36
the very far-out game of being you and I and so this is why every Hindu greets 00:07:36
and so this is why every Hindu greets 00:07:41
and so this is why every Hindu greets his brother not by shaking hands but by 00:07:41
his brother not by shaking hands but by 00:07:44
his brother not by shaking hands but by putting his hands together and bowing 00:07:44
putting his hands together and bowing 00:07:46
putting his hands together and bowing this is why the Japanese bow to each 00:07:46
this is why the Japanese bow to each 00:07:49
this is why the Japanese bow to each other basically this is why Buddhist 00:07:50
other basically this is why Buddhist 00:07:52
other basically this is why Buddhist rituals are full of the bowing gesture 00:07:52
rituals are full of the bowing gesture 00:07:54
rituals are full of the bowing gesture because you are honoring the self 00:07:54
because you are honoring the self 00:07:57
because you are honoring the self playing the roles of all the people 00:07:57
playing the roles of all the people 00:07:59
playing the roles of all the people around you and all the more honor is due 00:07:59
around you and all the more honor is due 00:08:01
around you and all the more honor is due when the self has forgotten what it's 00:08:01
when the self has forgotten what it's 00:08:03
when the self has forgotten what it's doing and is therefore in a very far out 00:08:03
doing and is therefore in a very far out 00:08:08
