Transcript

This world is full of all kinds of issues.

From the personal mental challenges,

Anxiety,

Aggression,

Loneliness,

All kinds of issues,

To the social ones,

The all kinds of crises,

Climate change,

Environment,

War.

All these issues are incessant,

Existing in different forms.

Human beings have been trying to solve these issues one by one,

But it doesn't work.

All kinds of issues keep popping up on a daily basis.

Unless we all turn inward to really understand the relationship between the individual and society,

Understand the inner world,

Realize deeply all human issues are the issues of the mind.

To eradicate all the issues,

We have to take some very radical measures.

That's to change the mind immediately,

To let the mutation take place immediately.

Or else all the issues are continuing.

And life,

For most people,

Is a perpetual battlefield.

That's why we meditate.

Not in a sense our method,

Our system,

Our discipline,

But a way of life.

To let oneself transform oneself radically,

Totally.

It is only when everybody,

Each of us,

Changes radically,

Then the whole world will be possible to change for the better.
