[00:00:32]Brothers, our guest crossed continents seeking truth. Please welcome the learned monk.

[00:00:42]In Buddhism, we start honest. Duka, life rubs. It doesn't quite fit.

[00:00:48]Its origin is craving. Release is possible. And there is a path. Eight simple trainings.

[00:00:56]First arrow, pain. Second arrow, our story. Let the second fall.

[00:01:04]>> Sit upright. Breathe naturally. Name what comes. Then return to breath.

[00:01:11]>> Ren, humaness. Lee, right form, shin trust. Rails that carry compassion.

[00:01:20]Match words to reality. Speak true, timely, kind. Fear quiets.

[00:01:28]>> In grief, sit with ache. Then do one exact kindness in their name.

[00:01:37]Steady gaze and good form. Together suffering becomes instruction.

[00:01:44]The wound is the place where the light enters you.

[00:01:50]We ache because we feel separate, like a drop cut from the ocean.

[00:01:59]Love is the bridge back to our essence, the beloved.

[00:02:07]Surrender isn't defeat. It is release of bargaining and grip.

[00:02:15]Love's burning melts pride and polish so the heart can shine.

[00:02:23]Human love tended well ripens toward the taste of the divine.

[00:02:31]When pain visits, face it gently. Name it. Breathe. Stay present. If this video touched your heart, subscribe. It's inspired by the timeless wisdom in the seven book roomie collection by Dr. Fared Mostman.
