[Student]
I like this photo. It took me a long time to find, but I'm really happy with it. Does anybody want...

Lü [?]... Lü Bua [?]... Wait, wait, wait, wait.

This camera is going to sue me, you know. Wait, tell the whole story. Do you remember?

Okay. It's John Brady is involved.

[Geshe Michael Roach]
John Brady and Connie and Geshe La. One time they came to, after maybe two retreats, they were tired and they decided to go to a very expensive restaurant. And Geshe La said, okay, I will pay for the dinner.

And they really had a wonderful time. And they had a good expensive dinner there.

[Student]
This is future.

[Geshe Michael Roach]
They do it after every retreat. Maybe. And when the waiter brought the bill, Geshe La put his hand into his pocket to get out his credit card.

And there wasn't a credit card, because Geshe La forgot, because he changed his pants before, and his credit card was in another pair of pants. So there wasn't a credit card at all. And it's about gakja.

And the waiter is still staying there and waiting for the card. And Geshe La is trying to find it in any other pockets, and maybe anywhere else. And the waiter is asking, what are you looking for?

He said, oh, my credit card. Which kind of credit card? The waiter asked, oh, it's Discover.

And the waiter said, wow, Discover. Oh, we don't accept it at all.

[Student]
Good. Very good.

[Geshe Michael Roach]
It's about gakja. It's a real gakja. It's two-headed purple elephant in the room.

So we think it is there, and it isn't.

[Student]
Good. Nice.

[Geshe Michael Roach]
If it was there, it wouldn't be a gakja. They don't accept it anyway.

[Student]
Good.

[Geshe Michael Roach]
Thank you.

[Student]
Okay. The line underneath is Buddhism accepts two kinds of negatives. Buddhism accepts two kinds of negatives.

Or you can say two kinds of gakja. One is absence. There's no elephant in this room.

And one is identity. He's not the president. Somebody else is the president.

[Geshe Michael Roach]
Okay.

[Student]
So gakja is which one? First one. Yeah.

Something's not there that you thought was there. Okay. All right.
