1
00:00:00,031 --> 00:00:10,642
Okay, we have five minutes left, so I'm going to ask that our three panelists, the three of us, say our last words and then call it quits for the year.

2
00:00:11,723 --> 00:00:18,830
So, Bill, can you give us your last words, what you'd like to say about this evening and what you'd like to wish for the people out there?

3
00:00:20,732 --> 00:00:28,620
Just that this has been great, you know, that we can, we were doing this this year, people that can come on and

4
00:00:29,647 --> 00:00:56,633
take part in your uh... what you're doing uh... uh... separate from you know the uh... comment areas that you would answer as best you could and get to as many as you could uh... i was just glad to be part of it and learned a lot and i hope everybody has uh... progressed from it thank you very much Tim

5
00:00:58,975 --> 00:00:59,776
Thank you for being here.

6
00:01:00,658 --> 00:01:01,879
Paul, are you still with us?

7
00:01:03,442 --> 00:01:04,343
I'm still here, Bhante.

8
00:01:05,886 --> 00:01:08,009
Give us your last word.

9
00:01:08,029 --> 00:01:08,369
Okay.

10
00:01:10,633 --> 00:01:17,243
I've really enjoyed coming to these meetings, and I wish you lots of luck with your travels.

11
00:01:18,725 --> 00:01:25,135
And on a more general kind of note, I just wish everyone to be peaceful, happy, and well.

12
00:01:29,063 --> 00:01:33,293
Thank you.

13
00:01:33,593 --> 00:01:34,896
Yeah, so thanks, everyone.

14
00:01:34,917 --> 00:01:35,959
This has been great.

15
00:01:35,979 --> 00:01:36,841
It's lots of fun.

16
00:01:36,861 --> 00:01:37,923
It's encouraging.

17
00:01:38,004 --> 00:01:44,659
It's a nice

18
00:01:46,445 --> 00:02:15,591
way of spreading the Dhamma it really helps this sort of thing helps my work doesn't make more work for me this kind of thing is what makes the world easier to live in and makes it easier to spread the Buddhist teaching because there's far more this sort of thing for me it's it's it's amazing the the reach that you can gain and how you can actually feel the potential for making a

19
00:02:15,790 --> 00:02:44,717
small change even on a global level that you're actually able to participate in the global conversation to the extent that it may actually have change and affect the world so what that means I don't know but it's the work that we do and it's certainly a good work so I'm going to get cut off here in a second but I'd like to wish everyone a good end of the year and a happy new year and

20
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:50,349
that you all may put into practice the teachings of the Buddha.

21
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:54,437
Don't be content with just learning about them.

22
00:02:54,597 --> 00:02:56,341
Try your best to put them in practice.

23
00:02:56,501 --> 00:03:02,453
And may everyone, through their practice, find true peace, happiness, and freedom from suffering.

24
00:03:04,918 --> 00:03:07,143
So, peace.

25
00:03:07,163 --> 00:03:07,363
Goodbye.
