So,

Today's topic is Real Golden Age of Our Future World.

Which means,

How to re-transform our world perfectly.

So,

Anybody joined this topic before?

I believe not.

Anyway,

This topic is,

What is a golden age?

And how look like,

And how sound like,

And how taste,

How smell,

And how can imagine,

And how is possible will be.

This is my vision,

And this is my life dedicated on.

So,

Today I'm only going to introduce you basically what it is,

Golden age.

You may hurt a golden age,

You may not hurt.

Regardless,

You hear golden age or not.

You have to understand,

Today's the topic of golden age,

My vision of this perfect world.

And you hear before golden age,

You will understand what is different.

So,

Before that,

You may think,

Is this your idea or this is,

Has been present in this world before me?

The answer is,

It's not my idea,

It is,

Has been introduced in this world before me.

This has been introduced in this world in many ancient spiritual teachings.

However,

Even the same name,

But how is possible and the degree of perfection,

Definitely not the same.

So,

My vision of the perfect future world is not I made up.

It is come from Buddha and our Buddha who has been in this world and human form.

And his idea,

Not I made up.

Okay,

In that case,

What kind of Buddha's teaching introduced golden age?

Indirectly,

Ten definitive sutras and ten,

The most essence of sutras.

However,

Directly introduced in Kalacara Tantra.

So,

Not I made up.

If you think,

Okay,

Obviously not you made up,

But Buddha introduced it,

But why is not manifest?

Many thousands years later,

Still not manifest.

Why?

You may think of that.

You can think of that.

However,

It has been manifest.

It's not never been manifest.

Where was manifest?

Is in Shambhala,

Pure Shambhala.

And how manifest and how become a golden age?

Incredible details.

That we're not going to talk about today.

This we're going to learn next few days.

And then your question may be,

Then why not manifest in our earth?

The answer,

It manifests on our earth,

But not for everyone.

Only individually,

But not for everyone.

To explain that also need details and we can talk next time,

Next few days.

But the most important you think is how can we make manifest for everybody,

For this world?

Our world is become perfect.

How we do that?

That we're going to talk today the essence,

But we talk details next few days.

Today's main topic is how look like exactly,

How sound like smell and imagine.

That is we're going to talk.

Why?

Because if you don't know what it is,

Golden age,

If you have no idea,

There is no way you're interested.

If you're not interested,

Then you have no chance to cultivate.

If you're not cultivate,

Then it's no manifest.

Impossible.

So that's why the first step we have to talk what it is.

Before that,

You may think at this few thousand years after the Buddha,

Is everybody talk this or not?

Or you just talk?

The answer is yes,

Is has been talked.

It is not new.

However,

Not so many ones didn't emphasize the today's topic.

This direct of golden age only not so many people,

Not the most of great ones didn't emphasize.

Didn't emphasize means doesn't mean never talk about it has been talked about.

It has been practiced,

But not the great emphasize.

So that is I am try to do in that is I am dedicated my life for this.

Maybe I give you a little example.

For instance,

Buddha taught directly emptiness.

Emptiness means no self of person,

No self of phenomenon.

Buddha taught this very directly and repetitively.

Buddha taught directly a lot.

But Buddha didn't emphasize the information behind.

So who emphasized that?

Later,

Bodhisattva Maitreya,

Tenth level of Bodhisattva,

He emphasized and a Sangha commentaries.

This lineage we call,

Which means the hidden meaning of the Buddha's teachings.

So many people know how important is Nanga-juna.

Yes,

It is Nanga-juna important.

Why?

Because he made commentary of many of Buddha's teachings.

But his main emphasize is the Buddha's direct teachings,

The emptiness.

But who made the emphasize on the hidden meanings?

Bodhisattva Maitreya and a Sangha.

Therefore,

Bodhisattva Maitreya and a Sangha's emphasize teachings is far,

Far,

Far bigger than Nanga-juna's emphasize.

A simple way if somebody study emptiness,

Majjhā-mikkā,

If it takes one year,

And then this hidden teachings,

Bodhisattva Maitreya and a Sangha emphasize,

Takes 20 years.

If the other one,

If somebody study one month,

The other one have to study two years.

It's that kind of big and small.

So what I'm trying to say is,

If somebody said something,

There is a direct meaning,

But there is indirect meaning.

There is obvious level of meaning,

But there is hidden meaning.

Especially Buddha's teachings,

The hidden meanings much more bigger than the direct meaning.

So similarly,

This Golden Age is not something new,

It has been taught,

But not emphasized as much as I do.

I can say nobody in this specific subject,

Main target,

Try to introduce to the people and inspire.

And then from this inspiration,

You can transform our world.

In this way,

A direct way has been taught,

But not great,

Great,

Great emphasized.

Not people wrote a book about this.

I mean,

Not book about only for this.

Not many books only for this.

Not many books related on this.

So that's why in my dedication of life,

I'm trying to,

This the most essence from all Buddha's teachings can relate for everybody.

I'm trying to emphasize on that.

So that is first step,

We can understand what is Golden Age.

How feels like,

How wonderful is,

How wonderful will be.

If we have some degree of understanding that,

Then second step,

We have to know how is possible manifest.

And then how implement in my life and how benefit in my life and how benefit my family,

My community,

My country and my globe,

My globe,

My world.

That's we're going to talk.

So my vision is God,

Real Golden Age,

The perfect peace and harmony of the world.

How should we look like and feel like is,

We have to think about your personal level and your relationship level.

And your community,

Your culture,

Your race and your country and the world,

We each level we have to think about.

Right now our world obviously are not perfect,

Especially this year,

Are not perfect.

Why like that?

And always has been like that.

Why?

We need to analyze that.

It is not like we blame somebody.

For instance,

Even somebody betray you and treat you very bad,

But still we cannot,

It is not the best way to blame.

It is you have to know why this person like that.

There is a reason this person like that.

So similar way,

We have to understand why our world is not perfect.

Why?

There is a very,

Very comprehensive way of we have to learn why.

But we're not going to talk today that.

Today I'm going to talk the most,

Most simple way.

The most simple way we talk is everybody.

Do you feel yourself is the most important?

Is everyone fear yourself is most important and others not?

Do you feel that?

I mean,

I'm not talking about yourself important for the world.

Is yourself important for yourself?

Do you cherish others as same as yourself?

Do you care others same as ourselves?

I say obviously not.

I'm not talking about,

Oh,

I'm very superior.

I'm talking to you guys.

I'm not talking that.

I'm talking include myself.

We all automatically,

Spontaneously care only ourselves,

Others second.

Why?

We need to think about why.

Half a minute meditate.

How come?

Do you really feel that way or you don't feel that?

Okay.

Meditate.

Of course.

Then we think is this correct?

Is this should be or shouldn't?

The answer is shouldn't.

Why?

Now we know why.

Is you bigger or others bigger?

The whole universe is you or other.

We imagine that we meditate on that.

We analyze on that.

10,

15 seconds.

Okay.

How we are small.

How are others big?

Of course,

We all agree.

There is nobody disagree.

Our oneself is nothing compared to the universe.

But still we always put others as secondary,

Ourselves in number one.

That is the problem.

The root problem is that.

In many ways we already know that.

It's not something new.

Only problem we don't have habit and culture to analyze that every day and emphasize on that every day.

But in another level we already know.

Because if somebody always put others before oneself,

Nobody,

No culture,

Any culture,

Anybody think,

Oh,

This is bad.

Everybody respect that.

Everybody admire that.

The same time we don't do it.

So this is the rare problem,

Root problem there.

The simple,

Very simple,

Very,

Very simple.

Even a child you can talk about this.

The same time everybody forgotten.

So that is the root problem.

That is the root of all our suffering.

You know,

This year we blame coronavirus.

But coronavirus is come from our selfishness.

It's part of us,

Part of universe.

Only small molecules,

A different structure is not coronavirus.

It has been always there,

Has been always bad.

It's not that.

It's manifestation of our own greedy and selfishness.

So then we generate even more and we hate coronavirus than we hate other,

You know,

Somebody's fault.

We do this all many things.

We make actually worse.

And then we make selfish,

Very,

Very selfish.

We make boundaries and everything.

We try to avoid.

But I'm not saying you shouldn't avoid.

Of course you can avoid because that level of us we can understand only that level.

But the rare level,

No matter how much you avoid,

If you had this condition already you created before,

You cannot avoid.

Even you not die by coronavirus,

You can die something else.

Okay.

I'm not going to talk about this a lot.

My main message,

If anybody wish to dissolve the coronavirus,

Think about Ascension bin.

A beloved one,

Innumerable times our beloved one.

And this time,

Ascension bin manifests that like this.

So can you have feeling closeness and compassion and care?

If we can do that,

The best solution,

Definitely that.

But if you are not ready for that,

If you are not,

You cannot do that,

Then you just don't pretend.

Of course,

You can avoid the other way.

So now,

How look like if the Golden Age manifests?

Your personal level.

Your personal level,

Every day your mind is completely peaceful and joyful.

And have confidence.

You know exactly what you're going to do and why you do.

You never lost.

And you have no jealous,

No competitiveness.

The same time,

No laziness.

Not laziness taken back,

Pulling back.

It's not competitiveness pushing you,

Your limits.

Both free from both.

Why?

The only reason you understand the others more important than yourself.

You realize you are a little similar part of the others.

Is your not only your duty,

But your responsibility of peace and harmony of this world.

You understand that?

I mean when you are ready to the Golden Age,

You are like this.

So there is no room for angry hatred,

Attachment and clinging.

And the fear and jealous,

Anxiety,

Paranoia.

All of them not there.

Why?

Because all come from,

Think of me as a primary,

The others secondary.

Only come from there.

Now you realize the world,

Perfect world,

Responsibility is of course yours.

But not only responsibility.

You feel honor.

It's your privilege.

Take responsibility of the whole world,

Peace and harmony.

You feel honor.

So there is no room or propensity to rise all these negativities.

There is no rise negativities of disease and natural disasters and anything.

But there is no propensity to rise all the negativities such as jealous,

Angry,

Competitive,

Anxiety,

Paranoia,

Fear.

That is the Golden Age of your personal level.

And then think about your relationship level.

How will we imagine your family?

Is that term your family and now your family,

Do you think is the same?

The answer is no.

Your family is much bigger that term.

Why?

Because you are not biased anymore.

And your love and they love you are pure.

It cannot be limited and fake and conditional.

That's the problem.

So your relationship become very different.

Bit when family is frightened,

No.

Jealousy each other,

No.

Compete each other,

No.

You don't have even worry about,

Oh,

I have children,

No children,

Too much children.

You don't have that.

Why?

Because everyone you feel like your child,

Not very biased,

Not very limited,

Caring.

Not limited to love and caring.

Or married,

Not married,

Duos,

Or these things not exist.

Why?

Why you need married?

What for?

Or security,

Or I love this person.

That's all very limited to come from anxiety and fear.

They are behind.

That's why we try to marry,

Improve,

Buy certificate,

Everything.

Because behind the problems,

The fear,

Anxiety,

Paranoid,

You don't have any more duos.

Your love is not limited.

Imagine.

How is wonderful?

You love everybody.

You know there's no doubt everybody loves you.

How wonderful is that feeling?

How sound like?

How smell like?

In Kalachakra Tantra said,

When is the golden age?

You don't need even cultivate.

Or the vegetables and crops and everything.

It will manifest naturally.

You don't need cultivate.

Why?

Because the whole world is a manifestation of our own cultivation,

Negative karma,

Or cultivation positive merits.

So now everybody cultivate so much merit.

So you don't even need cultivate harvest or anything.

Same as community level.

No competitiveness.

No business.

No money.

Do you know there's no money?

Are you happy?

You think,

Oh no,

No,

No,

I love money.

I'm not happy if I can't spend money.

Money also comes from paranoid competitiveness,

Anxiety,

Fear,

Fear of poor,

Fear of competing.

If it's not poor,

Not very,

Very poor,

Then compete.

Only for competing.

Ego.

You don't have all of them.

So what do you need money for?

Money not exist.

Golden age.

Maybe some people not happy.

But you will understand.

Entire business not there.

So money,

Why need?

Too much worry.

Too much stress.

Why not business exist?

Do you know business means they come from competitiveness,

Come from a greedy and competitiveness or fear of losing?

Everything come from that.

So you don't have this anymore.

Because everybody cares what others need.

So why you need money?

Why you need business?

Nowadays,

You may think,

Oh,

If we do that,

There's some greedy,

Take everything.

No.

There is no greedy people.

Even they know,

No pawns to save many,

Many things more than need.

So you may think,

Oh,

Maybe it's so boring life because you can't compete and you can't show off other people.

No.

You have better happiness than showing off happiness and compete happiness.

Okay?

Why?

Because you have the direction.

You know exactly what you do and what you care and you can do that with enjoy.

That's much bigger than competitiveness.

You know,

Happiness come from compete and showing off distance is very,

Very low level of happiness.

So you have much higher level of happiness because the most greatest happiness,

You know your direction.

But nowadays,

The majority of people in this world,

They have no direction.

You think,

Oh,

Yes,

I have the direction,

Blah,

Blah,

Blah.

I have this goal.

No.

Do you know what you do when you are dying?

Do you know exactly what to do?

Do you know exactly what will happen?

Majority of the people on this planet know.

Only very,

Very fortunate,

A few people.

That means no direction.

You don't know what to do in this life.

And next,

Pardo,

Which means after death,

Process of death and next life,

All of them,

You don't know what to do.

If you really analyze it carefully,

Even million is billion is people are so busy and can't enjoy life.

Why?

Because firstly,

They don't know how to enjoy life.

What is the real condition of happiness?

They don't know.

Secondly,

You don't have a big goal,

Big directions.

So you just try to busy as a small kids.

That's why people drive one hour for coffee.

Imagine so many people doing so big things for so little.

Why people do that?

Because you don't know better thing to do.

I'm not criticizing your audience,

Okay?

I'm criticizing the whole world,

Including myself.

Because we are not on golden age yet.

So if we can manifest our golden age,

Then we have no boundaries between countries.

Do you know why?

Because there's no boundaries.

People just fought,

Fought for centuries and centuries and making marks and whoever can kill others more can say,

Oh,

This is my land,

This is my country.

Mother of Earth have no bias attitude to the all sentient beings.

Mother of Earth,

Mother Earth offers everything a humanity need and all other creatures need.

But we fought for them.

Just let's say if you have wonderful parents,

Offer you everything you need,

But your children fight and killing each other.

We are like that when we are not on golden age.

In the history,

Maybe some people conquered a few other countries,

Other areas,

Regions,

And they call all our golden age town.

But my idea of golden age is opposite of that.

This is not just my idea.

It comes from Buddha.

I just emphasize.

I just did it again on this.

So when we have manifest golden age,

Remember we have no business,

No boundaries,

No racism,

No natural disasters,

No disease,

No poverty,

No poverty.

No more poor people.

No more starvation.

But this tends only external conditions.

But this external conditions is wonderful.

Why?

Because internal hour,

Vision,

Perspective,

Attitude,

Motivation,

All wonderful.

That is why right now,

All of them,

Majority of our humanity,

All this not so great.

That's the only reason if we simplify it.

If we talk about great details,

There is a lot of talk,

A lot of analysis,

A lot of debate.

But if we simplify it,

Our perspective,

Habit,

Attitude and habit,

Intention,

Motivation,

Habit is not matched.

It is matched with nature,

Which means that nature is others so big and so important and oneself so small and you know,

But we care the opposite.

So even we cannot put others before us,

But if we can equal,

If we can think equal and we try always to put others first.

Then the world will be perfect.

That means if there's only 10 people together,

If they did each other this,

Their world will be perfect.

If there is a bigger community,

They did that,

Their world will be perfect.

You must understand this.

This is very simple.

And nobody can argue that.

If this global level,

Then the whole world is perfect.

Why is it perfect?

Because we love each other.

True unconditional love each other.

What more you want?

How powerful of the love,

How many degrees of love,

How many layers of love and compassion.

What is the difference?

How they unite together?

These things we're going to talk about in the next few days.

We don't have time for all the details tonight.

This is not the topic for tonight.

Tonight is what like the Golden Age?

How sound like,

How similar,

How taste,

How touching,

How feel,

How wonderful in the your conceptual level,

Your emotional level.

That's what we're going to talk today.

This is topic for today.

So how long do we have the time?

It's okay,

Ramaswami.

You can keep going.

How long do we have time?

You can keep going.

It's when you want to stop.

It's up to you.

That's not my question.

Okay,

Well it's 7 p.

M.

So we would be finishing normally in a little bit.

Oh,

Okay 7 p.

M.

Already.

Yes,

So we would normally be doing question and answer but we started a little bit late as well.

Okay,

So maybe nobody disagree.

I hope tonight not wonderful the Golden Age.

But maybe you guys,

Some people have doubt how that's possible will be.

How we can transform like that world?

You may think impossible.

I say it will be possible.

If I don't think as will be possible then I wouldn't waste my time on it.

But you may think oh that's just your stupidity.

It will not happen.

No possible.

You may think like that.

I say it will possible again.

Why?

Firstly,

Nobody appears in this world better than Buddha.

So he predicted.

Maybe some of you,

Maybe that's not good enough.

You don't believe Buddha is the best being appear on this earth.

It's okay.

But I say the most compassionate and the most care being a Buddha.

You may not disagree of that.

Otherwise,

He wouldn't sacrifice royal life and live us bigger entire life.

And wouldn't live this incredible timeless,

You can say teachings,

Priceless life for the humanity.

But if you all of them,

If you don't believe that,

That's okay.

You have no karma so that's okay.

But this is logically possible.

It is scientifically possible.

I would say intuitionally this will be possible.

I have vision of this golden age.

When we say vision,

You may understand it differently.

One way,

Vision means you have great,

Great imagination and logically you know what will happen in future.

Some people read differently.

Vision means Buddha or somebody else,

Bodhisattva or somebody else told you.

It will be like that.

You can take either way.

But the most important,

Intuitively,

I feel too worth to dedicate on that.

That is intuitive level.

Logically,

Logical level for me is this is very possible.

Why?

Even you believe,

You don't believe Buddha predicted,

But even you don't understand scientifically because scientifically not easy because you have to understand the whole Kalachakra entirety of the Tantra.

But logically,

Simple logic if I tell you,

Because this philosophy is very simple as I taught today.

Is everybody half understood already?

The only thing we didn't build culture on.

We didn't have habit to act this way,

To think this way.

The attitude,

Everything,

We only need change this tiny.

So to me,

This is very possible in education way.

So that means education.

Education means we don't need to change the entire education of the world,

But we need to understand the primary goal of education.

What should be exactly and why.

Only this we need to understand.

Other thing we have to understand,

No matter how you are great technician,

Great technician or great scientist or great engineer or doesn't matter,

Whatever you are.

How you connect this,

Your profession with this primary goal.

Do you know how to do this?

Majority of people know.

99.

9% of people know.

We just only need to know this few small things need to change.

This is reason I say very,

Very possible.

Sometimes even we do not instead world change very quickly.

Sometimes the world change is quicker than fashion.

So if we know this principles,

If we educate this and little movements and then entirely change this world.

So usually golden age and ancient texts people understand only literally.

They think waiting for a few hundred years.

My understanding these ancient texts waiting for a few hundred years is the worst scenario.

If we want the best scenario,

We educate now and we make conditions now individually so we can impact and fluent 10 more people and 10 more people including more hundred people,

Hundred people,

2000 and then 1000 people,

10,

000 and more and more.

And very quickly our world will be perfect.
