1
00:00:00,031 --> 00:00:01,493
I wish to get enlightened.

2
00:00:01,573 --> 00:00:02,334
Where do I start?

3
00:00:03,536 --> 00:00:06,099
I love the good simple questions.

4
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:08,583
Well, start with my booklet on how to meditate.

5
00:00:09,284 --> 00:00:11,427
Look up Yuttadhammo How to Meditate.

6
00:00:11,647 --> 00:00:13,069
That's what I recommend to everyone.

7
00:00:14,131 --> 00:00:22,522
Again, it's to toot my own horn, but to explain that it's not really something that I've taught.

8
00:00:23,303 --> 00:00:25,887
It's just my explanation of what I've been taught.

9
00:00:25,867 --> 00:00:30,811
And since you're asking me, this is the best I can do for you.

10
00:00:30,831 --> 00:00:33,874
If you ask someone else, they'll give you quite a different response.

11
00:00:33,934 --> 00:00:37,017
But my response is what's in that book.

12
00:00:37,497 --> 00:00:41,601
It's the best way to start to become enlightened from my point of view.

13
00:00:43,342 --> 00:00:49,127
Having done that, having read the booklet, then you should make a decision whether you agree or disagree.

14
00:00:49,307 --> 00:00:52,890
Or you should put it into practice.

15
00:00:53,411 --> 00:00:55,873
Once you begin to practice the teachings in the booklet,

16
00:00:55,853 --> 00:01:07,090
Then if you decide you agree and it seems plausible that this is the way to become enlightened, then there are other steps that should be taken.

17
00:01:07,490 --> 00:01:15,482
You should undertake a proper meditation course with proper guidance and go from there.
