Number two, what's the goal of the Lamrim? We want to change this world. And I'm very proud of DCI.

I'm proud of Scott and Orit especially. We're close. And it's weird when you're inside of it and you don't think Scott's saving the world.

You think he's just like this guy. But they are saving the world. They're very close to that kind of level.

3,000 people come to a teaching and hear the pen. That's kind of weird in this world of televisions and internet. It's weird.

So it's really happening. When you do a mandala, it's a DCI world. Honestly.

It's a world where everyone is studying the pen. And they're Muslim and they're Christian and it doesn't matter. They feel comfortable with the Diamond Cutter.

So that's the goal of the Lamrim. What is the purpose to be a Lamrim meditation teacher? I want to make a world where everyone is happy and cannot die.

Everyone sees emptiness directly. This is what I'm... What do you do?

I'm on the plane. People turn to me and they say, what do you do? I'm like...

In my mind, I'm like, well, me and Scott, we're trying to save the world, you know. And we want everybody to see emptiness directly. But I know they'll just look at me and start watching their movie.

So it's hard to give an answer, right? What's your business? What's your occupation?

I'm a world saver. You know.

[Student]
Teach pen to as many people as I can. Yeah, I'm in the pen business.

So, I think... And again, this is different from what you talk... You don't tell people directly in DCI what we're doing.

But in Lamrim, you do. The reason you're here is to learn how not to die and help other people do that. And you can not die because you are like the pen.
