: 00:00:18

and we are juicy magic on the go

8

: 00:00:23

today

9

: 00:00:24

we are fortunate enough to have found the perfect day

10

: 00:00:27

quiet

11

: 00:00:29

maybe 8 degrees Celsius chilly in the background

12

: 00:00:32

you can see the Snow Pass Peak mountains

13

: 00:00:34

I was last here in Mediota in 1994 32 years ago

14

: 00:00:39

and can you give them a view

15

: 00:00:43

I wish I could get my head out from

16

: 00:00:50

I don't know if that worked

17

: 00:00:52

we'll find out but you can see

18

: 00:00:55

there are all these incredible mountainside

19

: 00:00:58

rock formations and amongst them are many 5 6

20

: 00:01:03

7 8 or more monasteries nun nunneries monasteries

21

: 00:01:08

and they're still active

22

: 00:01:11

and we're going to visit several of them today

23

: 00:01:14

and this is kind of the

24

: 00:01:15

this this is the main viewpoint here

25

: 00:01:18

we're gonna drive up a little further yeah

26

: 00:01:19

we have to be careful not to fall down

27

: 00:01:21

cause all around us I'm holding him that that first

28

: 00:01:25

that first step is a doozy haha

29

: 00:01:28

funny ball so you know

30

: 00:01:30

we were talking today about peace and peace

31

: 00:01:32

peace and freedom and love go together

32

: 00:01:35

free choice right

33

: 00:01:36

if there's force involved that's not religious

34

: 00:01:38

it's fanatic

35

: 00:01:39

there is no such thing as a religious fanatic

36

: 00:01:42

there's fanatics

37

: 00:01:43

and then there's those that are religious

38

: 00:01:45

religion means love for God

39

: 00:01:48

there's only one religion in the world hello

40

: 00:01:51

and there's only one religious activity

41

: 00:01:53

loving and serving him with love

42

: 00:01:56

love there's no force

43

: 00:01:58

there's no anger there's no enmity

44

: 00:02:01

and so today in the world we're

45

: 00:02:02

we're we're in a peaceful place

46

: 00:02:04

but there's a lot going on in the world

47

: 00:02:05

but we're very grateful for the women and men

48

: 00:02:08

the shatri is the warriors

49

: 00:02:09

who are working hard to defend freedom of speech

50

: 00:02:13

and free markets and freedom of choice

51

: 00:02:16

and so the places like this can exist exactly

52

: 00:02:20

because there will always be demons

53

: 00:02:22

and forces that want to try

54

: 00:02:25

to be god and use force and fanaticism

55

: 00:02:28

to force you to try and do something

56

: 00:02:32

and again religious means love for god fanatic

57

: 00:02:36

the root of that is force by force by violence

58

: 00:02:40

so one can be religious and loving

59

: 00:02:43

and you can be a warrior you can be a

60

: 00:02:45

a religious warrior

61

: 00:02:46

in the sense that you're defending people's right

62

: 00:02:49

to have free choice

63

: 00:02:50

free speech property rights

64

: 00:02:53

and the right to congregate and the right to

65

: 00:02:56

to uh engage in religious activities

66

: 00:03:00

so we got some people coming up the way

67

: 00:03:03

but we'll talk more about this today

68

: 00:03:05
