This moment,

We can meet truly each other.

To inquire,

To understand,

To figure out what is life.

To inquire into the nature of the mind,

To see the light.

The light is not over there but here in the heart.

Look around this world.

The whole world is trapped in this continuous incessant consciousness where all can corruption,

All kinds of issues.

So in this occasion,

Let's talk,

Let's converse openly,

Honestly.

Both of us give full attention to all the issues we all have as human beings.

In the everyday life,

Such an occasion is rare.

Most times,

We pretend we always wear a mask.

The talks are superficial.

So this moment,

Can we shut away all the things,

Put aside all the things human has created,

Built up from thousand years ago until now?

They are all thoughts,

Ideas,

Conclusions which have no reality at all at this moment.

So shall we do together to go through this,

Inquire into this,

All the issues?

It's not your unique issues but it's the issues of every mankind are living in this world.

So this inquiry is not an entertainment.

Understand all the issues.

As you may see,

It's a matter of life and death,

Truly,

Isn't it?

How to live.
