Transcript
English
Okay. Your discussion sounded very interesting.
English
We're talking about
English
desire and suffering, right? People think we think we because of we have, we want, and we do, we get, right? So that's why they think I because of whatever I get it because of I want.
English
This is a young people, they have this a lot of wanting, right? Everything you want, they try twice and they get. So I said only the not, uh,
English
only the one thing is not you cannot get only because of you want. Whatever you get it not because of you want. Many conditioning is support, right? There's all conditioning complete, then the result is coming. But we don't know, we only know I want, I try, I get. So later and later then the desire, the idea of self is more stronger.
English
But whatever they want, they think they will get. But if they cannot get it, then they suffer a lot.
English
That's why we must understand this idea. Whatever you get it not because of you want. There's a conditioning.
English
So the beginning when you say the statement in 2004, I didn't understand what you're saying.
English
Where?
English
But now I understand. The first time I met Sayadaw, I thought—
English
Because it's 01 formula, to be honest.
English
010?
English
No, no, no.
English
2002.
English
When we come here first time—
English
The first time, Sayadaw, you say the same statement. I don't know what you're talking about.
English
Oh.
English
It doesn't mean it. Now we understand, right?
English
Oh, okay.
English
That's why sometimes I talk what I want to talk.
English
I try. That's why the English world is not very, not satisfied.
English
No, it's because our understanding was not there, Sayadaw.
English
Yeah.
English
What you say is very clear. Our understanding has not—
English
Now he's here.
English
Got it.
English
001 was what? 010? 00?

Tiếng Việt
Không phải đi, xe tới sân ga mà đâu kìa. Cái gì tới đây hết rồi đấy. Mình tí nữa thì có một xíu này mà còn đi tới 8 gì tớ rồi mà. Ai bảo ai là lúc bố anh em à thôi như này, anh anh quên mình lại thôi. Đến đây lúc kia là có gì thì gì, nó gì vậy. Xe ngoài bảo xe đem mà xe ngoài rồi. Nó cứ thay đổi, 0 vậy.
