• 0:13
  peace,
• 0:14
  kindness
• 0:15
  and
• 0:15
  birthday
• 0:15
  cake.
• 0:16
  Well,
• 0:17
  almost.
• 0:18
  It's
• 0:19
  called
• 0:19
  Vasak
• 0:20
  Day.
• 0:20
  It's
• 0:21
  the
• 0:21
  day
• 0:21
  when
• 0:21
  millions
• 0:22
  of
• 0:22
  people
• 0:22
  around
• 0:22
  the
• 0:23
  world
• 0:23
  honor
• 0:23
  the
• 0:24
  life
• 0:24
  of
• 0:24
  someone
• 0:25
  super
• 0:25
  wise.
• 0:26
  The
• 0:26
  Buddha.
• 0:27
  We'll
• 0:27
  learn
• 0:28
  what
• 0:28
  he
• 0:28
  taught,
• 0:29
  travel
• 0:29
  to
• 0:30
  some
• 0:30
  amazing
• 0:30
  countries,
• 0:31
  play
• 0:32
  a
• 0:32
  silly
• 0:32
  game,
• 0:33
  and
• 0:33
  do
• 0:33
  a
• 0:33
  calming
• 0:34
  challenge
• 0:34
  that
• 0:35
  will
• 0:35
  make
• 0:35
  you
• 0:35
  feel
• 0:35
  like
• 0:36
  a
• 0:36
  tree.
• 0:37
  No
• 0:37
  joke.
• 0:38
  So
• 0:38
  take
• 0:38
  a
• 0:38
  deep
• 0:39
  breath
• 0:39
  in
• 0:41
  and
• 0:41
  out.
• 0:43
  Let's
• 0:44
  begin.
• 0:49
  Learning
• 0:49
  together
• 0:50
  is
• 0:51
  our
• 0:51
  aim.
• 0:53
  Beliefs
• 0:54
  around
• 0:54
  the
• 0:54
  globe
• 0:55
  we'll
• 0:55
  track
• 0:56
  filling
• 0:57
  up
• 0:57
  our
• 0:59
  backpack.
• 1:04
  A
• 1:05
  long,
• 1:05
  long
• 1:06
  time
• 1:06
  ago,
• 1:06
  around
• 1:07
  2,500
• 1:08
  years
• 1:09
  ago,
• 1:09
  there
• 1:10
  was
• 1:10
  a
• 1:10
  prince
• 1:11
  named
• 1:11
  Siddhartha
• 1:12
  Gautama.
• 1:13
  He
• 1:13
  lived
• 1:13
  in
• 1:13
  a
• 1:14
  big,
• 1:14
  shiny
• 1:15
  palace
• 1:15
  with
• 1:15
  peacocks
• 1:16
  in
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  garden,
• 1:17
  tasty
• 1:17
  treats
• 1:18
  at
• 1:18
  every
• 1:18
  meal,
• 1:19
  and
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  softest
• 1:20
  pillows
• 1:20
  in
• 1:21
  the
• 1:21
  land.
• 1:22
  Sounds
• 1:22
  pretty
• 1:23
  nice,
• 1:23
  huh?
• 1:24
  But
• 1:25
  one
• 1:25
  day,
• 1:25
  Siddhartha
• 1:26
  peeked
• 1:26
  outside
• 1:27
  the
• 1:27
  palace
• 1:27
  walls
• 1:28
  and
• 1:28
  saw
• 1:28
  something
• 1:28
  he'd
• 1:29
  never
• 1:29
  seen
• 1:29
  before.
• 1:30
  People
• 1:31
  who
• 1:31
  were
• 1:31
  sick,
• 1:32
  old,
• 1:33
  and
• 1:33
  even
• 1:33
  dying.
• 1:35
  Whoa.
• 1:36
  He
• 1:36
  had
• 1:36
  questions.
• 1:38
  Big
• 1:39
  questions.
• 1:40
  Why
• 1:41
  do
• 1:41
  people
• 1:41
  suffer?
• 1:42
  Can
• 1:43
  anyone
• 1:43
  stop
• 1:43
  it?
• 1:45
  And
• 1:45
  then
• 1:45
  he
• 1:45
  saw
• 1:46
  a
• 1:46
  monk.
• 1:47
  Not
• 1:47
  a
• 1:48
  monkey,
• 1:48
  a
• 1:49
  monk.
• 1:50
  That's
• 1:50
  someone
• 1:51
  who
• 1:51
  gives
• 1:51
  up
• 1:51
  fancy
• 1:52
  things
• 1:52
  to
• 1:53
  search
• 1:53
  for
• 1:53
  peace
• 1:54
  and
• 1:54
  truth.
• 1:55
  This
• 1:56
  monk
• 1:56
  looked
• 1:57
  calm
• 1:57
  and
• 1:57
  peaceful,
• 1:59
  even
• 1:59
  though
• 2:00
  he
• 2:00
  had
• 2:00
  almost
• 2:01
  nothing.
• 2:03
  Wait
• 2:03
  a
• 2:03
  second.
• 2:04
  No
• 2:04
  golden
• 2:05
  throne,
• 2:06
  no
• 2:06
  breakfast
• 2:07
  buffet,
• 2:07
  and
• 2:08
  he's
• 2:08
  happy.
• 2:10
  So
• 2:11
  what
• 2:11
  did
• 2:11
  Siddhartha
• 2:12
  Gautama
• 2:12
  do?
• 2:13
  He
• 2:14
  left
• 2:14
  the
• 2:14
  palace.
• 2:15
  No
• 2:15
  more
• 2:15
  crowns,
• 2:16
  no
• 2:17
  more
• 2:17
  cake.
• 2:17
  Just
• 2:18
  a
• 2:18
  walking
• 2:18
  stick,
• 2:19
  a
• 2:19
  heart
• 2:19
  full
• 2:20
  of
• 2:20
  questions,
• 2:20
  and
• 2:21
  a
• 2:21
  mission
• 2:21
  to
• 2:21
  help
• 2:22
  others.
• 2:23
  He
• 2:23
  tried
• 2:24
  being
• 2:24
  super
• 2:25
  strict
• 2:25
  with
• 2:25
  himself,
• 2:26
  barely
• 2:27
  eating,
• 2:28
  hardly
• 2:28
  sleeping.
• 2:29
  But
• 2:30
  that
• 2:30
  didn't
• 2:31
  work
• 2:31
  either.
• 2:31
  It
• 2:32
  just
• 2:32
  made
• 2:32
  him
• 2:32
  hangry.
• 2:34
  Eventually,
• 2:35
  he
• 2:35
  found
• 2:35
  something
• 2:35
  better.
• 2:37
  Balance.
• 2:38
  He
• 2:38
  sat
• 2:38
  beneath
• 2:39
  a
• 2:39
  big
• 2:39
  fig
• 2:40
  tree,
• 2:40
  later
• 2:40
  called
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  Bodhi
• 2:41
  Tree,
• 2:42
  and
• 2:42
  decided
• 2:43
  not
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  move
• 2:43
  until
• 2:44
  he
• 2:44
  found
• 2:44
  the
• 2:45
  answer
• 2:45
  to
• 2:46
  suffering.
• 2:47
  He
• 2:47
  meditated
• 2:48
  for
• 2:48
  hours.
• 2:49
  Then
• 2:50
  something
• 2:50
  powerful
• 2:51
  happened.
• 2:52
  As
• 2:53
  the
• 2:53
  sun
• 2:53
  rose,
• 2:54
  Siddhartha
• 2:55
  felt
• 2:55
  a
• 2:55
  deep
• 2:56
  peace
• 2:57
  and
• 2:57
  understanding.
• 2:59
  He
• 2:59
  became
• 2:59
  enlightened.
• 3:03
  Enlightened
• 3:03
  means
• 3:04
  that
• 3:04
  he
• 3:04
  woke
• 3:04
  up
• 3:05
  to
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  truth.
• 3:06
  How
• 3:06
  to
• 3:06
  live
• 3:06
  with
• 3:07
  love,
• 3:07
  wisdom,
• 3:08
  and
• 3:08
  kindness.
• 3:10
  From
• 3:10
  then
• 3:10
  on,
• 3:10
  people
• 3:11
  called
• 3:11
  him
• 3:11
  the
• 3:11
  Buddha,
• 3:12
  which
• 3:12
  means
• 3:13
  Awakened
• 3:13
  One.
• 3:15
  He
• 3:15
  didn't
• 3:15
  keep
• 3:15
  his
• 3:16
  discovery
• 3:16
  to
• 3:16
  himself?
• 3:17
  Nope.
• 3:18
  He
• 3:18
  spent
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  rest
• 3:19
  of
• 3:19
  his
• 3:20
  life
• 3:20
  teaching
• 3:20
  others
• 3:21
  how
• 3:21
  to
• 3:21
  live
• 3:21
  peacefully
• 3:22
  and
• 3:22
  mindfully.
• 3:23
  He
• 3:24
  taught
• 3:24
  that
• 3:24
  everyone
• 3:25
  can
• 3:25
  be
• 3:25
  kind
• 3:26
  and
• 3:26
  calm,
• 3:27
  even
• 3:28
  if
• 3:28
  they
• 3:28
  don't
• 3:28
  have
• 3:29
  a
• 3:29
  crown.
• 3:32
  So
• 3:33
  what
• 3:33
  do
• 3:33
  Buddhists
• 3:34
  believe?
• 3:35
  Great
• 3:35
  question,
• 3:36
  explorers.
• 3:37
  Just
• 3:37
  like
• 3:37
  Siddhartha
• 3:38
  learned
• 3:39
  under
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  Bodhi
• 3:40
  Tree.
• 3:40
  Buddhists
• 3:41
  believe
• 3:41
  that
• 3:42
  all
• 3:42
  people
• 3:42
  can
• 3:43
  find
• 3:43
  peace
• 3:44
  inside
• 3:44
  themselves
• 3:45
  by
• 3:46
  being
• 3:46
  kind,
• 3:47
  mindful
• 3:48
  and
• 3:48
  wise.
• 3:50
  They
• 3:50
  Believe
• 3:50
  that
• 3:51
  life
• 3:51
  has
• 3:51
  challenges
• 3:53
  like
• 3:53
  sadness
• 3:54
  or
• 3:54
  changes,
• 3:56
  but
• 3:56
  that
• 3:56
  we
• 3:56
  can
• 3:56
  respond
• 3:57
  to
• 3:57
  those
• 3:57
  things
• 3:58
  with
• 3:59
  calm
• 4:00
  inside,
• 4:00
  instead
• 4:01
  of
• 4:01
  getting
• 4:01
  stuck
• 4:02
  inside
• 4:02
  our
• 4:03
  frustration.
• 4:05
  One
• 4:05
  big
• 4:05
  idea
• 4:06
  in
• 4:06
  Buddhism
• 4:06
  is
• 4:07
  that
• 4:07
  everything
• 4:08
  changes.
• 4:09
  So
• 4:09
  even
• 4:09
  if
• 4:09
  you're
• 4:10
  having
• 4:10
  a
• 4:10
  rough
• 4:10
  day,
• 4:11
  it
• 4:11
  won't
• 4:12
  last
• 4:12
  forever.
• 4:13
  Buddhists
• 4:14
  also
• 4:14
  follow
• 4:15
  what's
• 4:15
  called
• 4:15
  the
• 4:15
  Middle
• 4:16
  Path.
• 4:17
  Not
• 4:17
  too
• 4:18
  fancy
• 4:18
  like
• 4:18
  a
• 4:18
  royal
• 4:19
  palace,
• 4:20
  and
• 4:20
  not
• 4:20
  too
• 4:21
  extreme
• 4:21
  like
• 4:22
  skipping
• 4:22
  every
• 4:22
  single
• 4:23
  meal.
• 4:24
  It's
• 4:24
  all
• 4:24
  about
• 4:24
  balance,
• 4:25
  like
• 4:25
  Siddhartha
• 4:26
  found
• 4:27
  in
• 4:27
  his
• 4:27
  journey.
• 4:28
  Or
• 4:28
  like
• 4:29
  Goldilocks,
• 4:30
  they
• 4:30
  try
• 4:30
  to
• 4:31
  find
• 4:31
  what's
• 4:31
  just
• 4:31
  right.
• 4:32
  Enough
• 4:33
  food,
• 4:33
  enough
• 4:34
  rest
• 4:34
  and
• 4:34
  enough
• 4:35
  kindness.
• 4:36
  Another
• 4:37
  important
• 4:37
  part
• 4:38
  of
• 4:38
  Buddhist
• 4:38
  beliefs
• 4:39
  is
• 4:39
  compassion,
• 4:40
  which
• 4:41
  means
• 4:41
  caring
• 4:41
  deeply
• 4:42
  for
• 4:42
  others
• 4:43
  and
• 4:43
  trying
• 4:44
  not
• 4:44
  to
• 4:44
  hurt
• 4:45
  any
• 4:46
  living
• 4:46
  thing.
• 4:47
  That's
• 4:48
  why
• 4:48
  many
• 4:48
  Buddhists
• 4:49
  choose
• 4:49
  not
• 4:50
  to
• 4:50
  eat
• 4:50
  meat.
• 4:50
  And
• 4:51
  they
• 4:51
  try
• 4:51
  to
• 4:51
  be
• 4:51
  gentle
• 4:52
  with
• 4:52
  animals,
• 4:53
  people
• 4:53
  and
• 4:54
  even
• 4:54
  tiny
• 4:55
  bugs.
• 4:56
  And
• 4:56
  here's
• 4:57
  something
• 4:57
  really
• 4:58
  beautiful.
• 4:59
  Buddhists
• 4:59
  don't
• 4:59
  believe
• 5:00
  you
• 5:00
  have
• 5:00
  to
• 5:00
  be
• 5:00
  a
• 5:01
  monk
• 5:01
  or
• 5:01
  live
• 5:01
  in
• 5:02
  a
• 5:02
  temple
• 5:02
  to
• 5:02
  grow
• 5:03
  wiser
• 5:03
  or
• 5:03
  more
• 5:04
  peaceful.
• 5:05
  Anyone?
• 5:06
  Yes,
• 5:06
  anyone
• 5:07
  can
• 5:08
  learn
• 5:08
  to
• 5:08
  be
• 5:08
  calm,
• 5:09
  kind
• 5:10
  and
• 5:10
  connected
• 5:11
  to
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  world
• 5:11
  around
• 5:12
  them.
• 5:13
  That
• 5:13
  means
• 5:13
  you
• 5:14
  too.
• 5:16
  And
• 5:16
  guess
• 5:16
  what?
• 5:17
  Many
• 5:17
  of
• 5:17
  these
• 5:17
  ideas
• 5:18
  show
• 5:18
  up
• 5:18
  in
• 5:18
  other
• 5:19
  belief
• 5:19
  systems
• 5:20
  too.
• 5:21
  Remember
• 5:21
  in
• 5:21
  our
• 5:21
  Baha'
• 5:22
  I
• 5:22
  episode,
• 5:23
  we
• 5:23
  learned
• 5:23
  about
• 5:23
  showing
• 5:24
  kindness
• 5:24
  and

  Rezvan.
• 5:27
  Buddhists,
• 5:27
  Baha'
• 5:27
  Is
• 5:28
  and
• 5:28
  lots
• 5:28
  of
• 5:28
  others
• 5:29
  believe
• 5:29
  in
• 5:29
  caring

  for
• 5:30
  people,
• 5:31
  being
• 5:31
  peaceful
• 5:33
  and

  making

  the

  world
• 5:34
  a
• 5:34
  better
• 5:34
  place,
• 5:35
  just
• 5:36
  in
• 5:36
  their
• 5:36
  own
• 5:36
  ways.
• 5:38
  So
• 5:38
  even
• 5:38
  if
• 5:39
  we
• 5:39
  believe
• 5:39
  different
• 5:40
  things,
• 5:40
  we
• 5:41
  can
• 5:41
  still
• 5:41
  share
• 5:41
  values
• 5:42
  like
• 5:42
  love,
• 5:43
  balance
• 5:44
  and
• 5:44
  helping
• 5:45
  others.
• 5:48
  Alright
• 5:49
  explorers,
• 5:50
  now
• 5:50
  it's
• 5:50
  time
• 5:50
  to
• 5:51
  go
• 5:51
  back
• 5:51
  to
• 5:51
  the
• 5:51
  night
• 5:52
  when
• 5:52
  Siddhartha
• 5:53
  became
• 5:53
  the
• 5:53
  Buddha.
• 5:55
  Imagine
• 5:55
  you're
• 5:56
  in
• 5:56
  a
• 5:56
  quiet
• 5:57
  garden
• 5:57
  in
• 5:57
  India.
• 5:59
  The
• 5:59
  moon
• 5:59
  is
• 5:59
  full
• 6:00
  and
• 6:01
  bright
• 6:01
  above
• 6:02
  you.
• 6:03
  The
• 6:03
  grass
• 6:03
  is
• 6:04
  cool
• 6:05
  beneath
• 6:05
  you.
• 6:06
  A
• 6:07
  night
• 6:07
  bird
• 6:08
  is
• 6:08
  calling
• 6:09
  softly.
• 6:11
  In
• 6:12
  front
• 6:12
  of
• 6:12
  you
• 6:13
  is
• 6:13
  a
• 6:13
  huge
• 6:14
  beautiful
• 6:14
  tree.
• 6:15
  Its
• 6:16
  branches
• 6:16
  spread
• 6:17
  like
• 6:17
  arms,
• 6:18
  welcoming
• 6:18
  you
• 6:19
  in.
• 6:20
  This
• 6:21
  is
• 6:21
  the
• 6:21
  Bodhi
• 6:22
  tree.
• 6:23
  Can
• 6:23
  you
• 6:23
  see
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  heart
• 6:24
  shaped
• 6:25
  leaves
• 6:25
  fluttering
• 6:26
  in
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  breeze?
• 6:28
  Now
• 6:28
  look,
• 6:29
  there
• 6:29
  he
• 6:30
  is,
• 6:31
  Prince
• 6:31
  Siddhartha,
• 6:32
  sitting
• 6:33
  peacefully
• 6:33
  beneath
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  tree.
• 6:35
  He
• 6:35
  looks
• 6:36
  calm
• 6:37
  and
• 6:37
  kind.
• 6:39
  You
• 6:39
  walk
• 6:40
  over
• 6:40
  and
• 6:40
  sit
• 6:40
  beside
• 6:41
  him.
• 6:42
  He
• 6:42
  smiles
• 6:43
  and
• 6:43
  nods
• 6:44
  at
• 6:44
  you.
• 6:45
  You
• 6:45
  feel
• 6:46
  safe.
• 6:47
  You
• 6:48
  both
• 6:48
  close
• 6:48
  your
• 6:48
  eyes.
• 6:49
  Let's
• 6:50
  take
• 6:50
  a
• 6:50
  deep
• 6:51
  breath
• 6:51
  together.
• 6:52
  Inhale
• 6:56
  and
• 6:56
  out.
• 7:01
  Good.
• 7:02
  Let's
• 7:02
  do
• 7:02
  that
• 7:03
  again.
• 7:04
  Nice.
• 7:04
  Deep
• 7:05
  breath
• 7:05
  in.
• 7:07
  Fill
• 7:08
  up
• 7:08
  your
• 7:08
  belly
• 7:08
  like
• 7:09
  a
• 7:09
  balloon.
• 7:10
  And
• 7:11
  breath
• 7:11
  out,
• 7:13
  letting
• 7:14
  any
• 7:14
  worry
• 7:15
  go.
• 7:17
  Your
• 7:17
  body
• 7:17
  is
• 7:18
  still,
• 7:19
  your
• 7:20
  mind
• 7:20
  is
• 7:20
  calm.
• 7:22
  You
• 7:22
  feel
• 7:22
  a
• 7:23
  gentle
• 7:24
  warm
• 7:25
  light
• 7:25
  in
• 7:25
  your
• 7:26
  chest
• 7:27
  like
• 7:27
  kindness
• 7:28
  glowing
• 7:29
  gently
• 7:29
  inside
• 7:30
  you.
• 7:31
  It's
• 7:32
  almost
• 7:32
  like
• 7:33
  Siddhartha
• 7:33
  is
• 7:34
  feeling
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  same
• 7:35
  thing.
• 7:36
  For
• 7:36
  a
• 7:36
  moment,
• 7:37
  you
• 7:37
  and
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  future
• 7:38
  Buddha
• 7:39
  are
• 7:39
  sharing
• 7:40
  this
• 7:40
  quiet
• 7:41
  peace.
• 7:43
  Now,
• 7:43
  very
• 7:44
  gently.
• 7:45
  Suddenly,
• 7:45
  Siddhartha
• 7:46
  opens
• 7:47
  his
• 7:47
  eyes
• 7:48
  they
• 7:49
  seem
• 7:49
  to
• 7:49
  shine
• 7:50
  softly
• 7:50
  in
• 7:50
  the
• 7:51
  moonlight.
• 7:52
  He
• 7:52
  has
• 7:53
  discovered
• 7:53
  the
• 7:54
  truth
• 7:54
  he
• 7:54
  was
• 7:54
  seeking.
• 7:56
  He
• 7:56
  is
• 7:56
  now
• 7:56
  the
• 7:57
  Buddha.
• 7:58
  You
• 7:58
  sense
• 7:59
  his
• 7:59
  joy
• 8:00
  and
• 8:00
  serenity.
• 8:02
  Take
• 8:02
  one
• 8:02
  more
• 8:03
  slow
• 8:03
  breath.
• 8:05
  Now
• 8:05
  gently
• 8:06
  wiggle
• 8:06
  your
• 8:06
  fingers
• 8:07
  and
• 8:07
  toes.
• 8:08
  If
• 8:08
  your
• 8:08
  eyes
• 8:09
  are
• 8:09
  closed,
• 8:10
  open
• 8:10
  them
• 8:11
  and
• 8:11
  the
• 8:11
  Bodhi
• 8:12
  garden
• 8:12
  gently
• 8:13
  fades.
• 8:14
  How
• 8:14
  do
• 8:15
  you
• 8:15
  feel?
• 8:16
  Maybe
• 8:17
  a
• 8:17
  little
• 8:17
  calmer.
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  know
• 8:19
  I
• 8:20
  do.
• 8:21
  You
• 8:22
  shared
• 8:22
  a
• 8:22
  moment
• 8:23
  of
• 8:23
  mindfulness.
• 8:25
  Doesn't
• 8:26
  that
• 8:26
  feel
• 8:27
  nice?
• 8:28
  Even
• 8:29
  a
• 8:29
  short
• 8:29
  time
• 8:30
  sitting
• 8:30
  quietly
• 8:31
  and
• 8:32
  focusing
• 8:32
  on
• 8:32
  your
• 8:33
  breathing
• 8:34
  can
• 8:34
  help
• 8:34
  your
• 8:35
  whole
• 8:35
  day
• 8:36
  feel
• 8:36
  better.
• 8:38
  The
• 8:38
  Buddha
• 8:39
  loved
• 8:39
  teaching
• 8:39
  others
• 8:40
  to
• 8:40
  find
• 8:40
  peace
• 8:41
  inside
• 8:41
  themselves.
• 8:42
  And
• 8:43
  you
• 8:43
  just
• 8:43
  tried
• 8:43
  a
• 8:44
  bit
• 8:44
  of
• 8:44
  that.
• 8:44
  Okay,
• 8:45
  explorers,
• 8:46
  now
• 8:46
  I've
• 8:46
  got
• 8:46
  a
• 8:46
  little
• 8:47
  joke
• 8:47
  for
• 8:47
  you
• 8:47
  to
• 8:47
  share
• 8:48
  with
• 8:48
  a
• 8:48
  friend.
• 8:49
  Ready?
• 8:51
  Why
• 8:52
  did
• 8:52
  the
• 8:53
  Buddha
• 8:54
  take
• 8:54
  a
• 8:54
  nap
• 8:55
  under
• 8:56
  a
• 8:56
  tree?
• 9:00
  Because
• 9:00
  he
• 9:00
  wanted
• 9:01
  to
• 9:01
  leaf
• 9:02
  his
• 9:02
  worries
• 9:03
  behind.
• 9:04
  Get
• 9:04
  it?
• 9:05
  Leaf
• 9:06
  like
• 9:06
  tree
• 9:07
  leaves.
• 9:09
  Sometimes
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  little
• 9:10
  laughter
• 9:10
  is
• 9:10
  just
• 9:11
  what
• 9:11
  we
• 9:11
  need
• 9:11
  to
• 9:12
  feel
• 9:12
  light
• 9:12
  and
• 9:12
  peaceful
• 9:13
  inside.
• 9:14
  Now
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  we're
• 9:15
  smiling,
• 9:16
  let's
• 9:16
  dive
• 9:17
  into
• 9:17
  the
• 9:17
  beautiful
• 9:18
  Buddhist
• 9:18
  holiday
• 9:19
  called
• 9:19
  Vahsak.
• 9:24
  So
• 9:24
  what
• 9:25
  is
• 9:25
  the
• 9:25
  Saaq?
• 9:26
  Why
• 9:26
  don't
• 9:27
  you
• 9:27
  try
• 9:27
  saying
• 9:27
  that
• 9:27
  word
• 9:28
  with
• 9:28
  me?
• 9:29
  The
• 9:30
  Sak
• 9:31
  Vesak
• 9:32
  is
• 9:32
  the
• 9:33
  biggest
• 9:33
  Buddhist
• 9:33
  celebration
• 9:34
  of
• 9:34
  the
• 9:34
  year.
• 9:35
  It
• 9:36
  honors
• 9:36
  three
• 9:37
  big
• 9:37
  events
• 9:38
  in
• 9:38
  Buddha's
• 9:40
  his
• 9:40
  birth,
• 9:41
  the
• 9:42
  night
• 9:42
  he
• 9:42
  became
• 9:42
  enlightened,
• 9:44
  and
• 9:44
  the
• 9:44
  day
• 9:44
  he
• 9:45
  passed
• 9:45
  into
• 9:45
  peace,
• 9:46
  which
• 9:46
  they
• 9:46
  call
• 9:47
  Nirvana.
• 9:48
  Think
• 9:49
  about
• 9:49
  that.
• 9:50
  One
• 9:50
  holiday
• 9:51
  that
• 9:51
  celebrates
• 9:51
  a
• 9:52
  birthday,
• 9:52
  a
• 9:53
  breakthrough
• 9:54
  and
• 9:54
  a
• 9:54
  goodbye
• 9:55
  all
• 9:56
  in
• 9:56
  one.
• 9:57
  Pretty
• 9:58
  special,
• 9:58
  right?
• 9:59
  It
• 10:00
  usually
• 10:00
  happens
• 10:00
  in
• 10:01
  the
• 10:01
  spring,
• 10:02
  often
• 10:02
  in

  May,
• 10:03
  on

  a

  in
• 10:06
  2025,
• 10:07
  many
• 10:08
  people
• 10:08
  will
• 10:08
  celebrate

  Monday,

• 10:15
  So
• 10:15
  let's

• 10:25
  First

  Here,

• 11:32
  for
• 11:33
  magic.
• 11:34
  Hundreds
• 11:34
  of
• 11:34
  glowing
• 11:35
  lanterns
• 11:36
  rise
• 11:36
  into
• 11:36
  the
• 11:37
  sky.
• 11:38
  It
• 11:38
  looks
• 11:38
  like
• 11:39
  twinkling
• 11:39
  stars
• 11:40
  floating
• 11:40
  up
• 11:41
  into
• 11:41
  the
• 11:41
  night.
• 11:43
  Wow,
• 11:43
  wasn't
• 11:44
  that
• 11:44
  amazing?
• 11:45
  Different
• 11:46
  countries
• 11:46
  celebrate
• 11:47
  Vahsakh
• 11:48
  in
• 11:48
  different
• 11:48
  ways,
• 11:49
  and
• 11:50
  not
• 11:50
  always
• 11:50
  on
• 11:50
  the
• 11:51
  exact
• 11:51
  same
• 11:51
  day
• 11:52
  either.
• 11:53
  But
• 11:53
  they
• 11:53
  all
• 11:53
  share
• 11:54
  the
• 11:54
  same
• 11:54
  message
• 11:55
  of
• 11:55
  kindness,
• 11:56
  mindfulness,
• 11:57
  and
• 11:58
  honoring
• 11:58
  the
• 11:58
  journey
• 11:59
  of
• 11:59
  the
• 11:59
  Buddha.
• 12:00
  Which
• 12:00
  celebration
• 12:01
  would
• 12:01
  you
• 12:01
  like
• 12:01
  to
• 12:01
  visit?
• 12:02
  Lanterns
• 12:03
  in
• 12:03
  Sri
• 12:03
  Lanka?
• 12:04
  Peace
• 12:05
  walks
• 12:05
  in
• 12:05
  Thailand,
• 12:06
  or
• 12:06
  monks
• 12:07
  in
• 12:07
  Indonesia?
• 12:08
  Let
• 12:08
  your
• 12:09
  imagination
• 12:09
  pick
• 12:10
  one.
• 12:10
  Or
• 12:11
  maybe
• 12:11
  all
• 12:11
  of
• 12:11
  them.
• 12:16
  Now,
• 12:16
  who's
• 12:17
  up
• 12:17
  for
• 12:17
  a
• 12:17
  game?
• 12:18
  I
• 12:18
  am.
• 12:20
  This
• 12:20
  game
• 12:20
  is
• 12:20
  called
• 12:21
  Buddha
• 12:21
  Statues.
• 12:22
  Kind
• 12:23
  of
• 12:23
  like
• 12:23
  Freeze
• 12:24
  Dance.
• 12:24
  But
• 12:24
  instead
• 12:25
  of
• 12:25
  dancing,
• 12:25
  we
• 12:26
  practice
• 12:26
  being
• 12:27
  calm,
• 12:28
  like
• 12:28
  the
• 12:28
  Buddha.
• 12:29
  Here's
• 12:30
  how
• 12:30
  it
• 12:30
  works.
• 12:31
  When
• 12:31
  I
• 12:31
  say
• 12:31
  Buddha
• 12:32
  statue,
• 12:32
  you
• 12:32
  freeze
• 12:33
  in
• 12:33
  place,
• 12:34
  like
• 12:34
  a
• 12:34
  meditating
• 12:35
  statue
• 12:35
  of
• 12:36
  the
• 12:36
  Buddha.
• 12:37
  If
• 12:37
  you're
• 12:37
  at
• 12:37
  home
• 12:38
  or
• 12:38
  somewhere
• 12:38
  safe
• 12:39
  to
• 12:39
  move
• 12:39
  around,
• 12:39
  you
• 12:40
  can
• 12:40
  sit
• 12:40
  cross
• 12:40
  legged
• 12:41
  with
• 12:41
  your
• 12:41
  hands
• 12:42
  on
• 12:42
  your
• 12:42
  knees.
• 12:42
  Or
• 12:43
  maybe
• 12:43
  stand
• 12:43
  tall
• 12:44
  with
• 12:44
  your
• 12:44
  hands
• 12:44
  together.
• 12:45
  But
• 12:46
  if
• 12:46
  you're
• 12:46
  in
• 12:46
  the
• 12:46
  car,
• 12:47
  no
• 12:47
  worries.
• 12:47
  Just
• 12:48
  stay
• 12:48
  seated
• 12:48
  and
• 12:49
  imagine
• 12:49
  yourself
• 12:50
  as
• 12:50
  a
• 12:50
  calm,
• 12:51
  peaceful
• 12:52
  statue.
• 12:53
  The
• 12:53
  key
• 12:53
  is
• 12:53
  to
• 12:54
  stay
• 12:54
  as
• 12:54
  still
• 12:55
  and
• 12:56
  as
• 12:56
  calm
• 12:56
  as
• 12:57
  you
• 12:57
  can,
• 12:57
  just
• 12:58
  like
• 12:58
  the
• 12:58
  Buddha.
• 12:59
  Then
• 13:00
  I'm
• 13:01
  gonna
• 13:01
  try
• 13:01
  and
• 13:01
  make
• 13:02
  you
• 13:02
  giggle
• 13:03
  or
• 13:03
  wiggle.
• 13:04
  If
• 13:04
  you
• 13:05
  move
• 13:05
  or
• 13:05
  laugh,
• 13:05
  that's
• 13:06
  okay.
• 13:06
  Just
• 13:07
  become
• 13:07
  a
• 13:07
  statue
• 13:08
  again.
• 13:09
  Let's
• 13:09
  see
• 13:09
  if
• 13:09
  you
• 13:10
  can
• 13:10
  stay
• 13:10
  Zen.
• 13:12
  That
• 13:12
  means
• 13:12
  super
• 13:13
  calm
• 13:13
  through
• 13:14
  all
• 13:14
  the
• 13:14
  silliness.
• 13:15
  Ready
• 13:16
  to
• 13:16
  play
• 13:16
  Buddha
• 13:16
  Statues?
• 13:19
  Okay,
• 13:19
  everyone
• 13:20
  get
• 13:20
  in
• 13:20
  your
• 13:20
  pose
• 13:21
  and
• 13:22
  Buddha
• 13:22
  Statue
• 13:23
  Freeze.
• 13:25
  You're
• 13:25
  calm.
• 13:26
  You're
• 13:27
  focusing.
• 13:28
  Now
• 13:28
  imagine
• 13:29
  this.
• 13:30
  A
• 13:30
  tiny
• 13:31
  tickly
• 13:32
  butterfly
• 13:33
  lands
• 13:33
  right
• 13:33
  on
• 13:34
  your
• 13:34
  nose.
• 13:35
  It
• 13:35
  flaps
• 13:36
  its
• 13:36
  wings.
• 13:37
  Tickle,
• 13:38
  tickle.
• 13:39
  Oh
• 13:39
  no.
• 13:40
  Can
• 13:40
  you
• 13:40
  stay
• 13:41
  still?
• 13:42
  Don't
• 13:42
  sneeze.
• 13:45
  Phew.
• 13:46
  It
• 13:46
  flew
• 13:46
  away.
• 13:48
  Did
• 13:48
  you
• 13:48
  move?
• 13:50
  If
• 13:50
  you
• 13:50
  did,
• 13:50
  it's
• 13:51
  okay.
• 13:52
  Reset.
• 13:53
  Here
• 13:53
  comes
• 13:53
  another
• 13:54
  Buddha
• 13:55
  statue.
• 13:58
  Uh
• 13:58
  oh.
• 13:59
  A
• 14:00
  mischievous
• 14:01
  monkey
• 14:02
  shows
• 14:02
  up.
• 14:03
  He
• 14:03
  thinks
• 14:04
  you're
• 14:04
  hiding
• 14:04
  a
• 14:05
  banana.
• 14:06
  He
• 14:06
  tickles
• 14:07
  your
• 14:07
  toes
• 14:07
  and
• 14:08
  makes
• 14:08
  silly
• 14:09
  monkey
• 14:09
  sounds.
• 14:12
  Did
• 14:13
  you
• 14:13
  hold
• 14:13
  your
• 14:13
  pose?
• 14:16
  Nice
• 14:17
  work.
• 14:17
  That
• 14:18
  monkey
• 14:18
  gave
• 14:19
  up.
• 14:21
  Okay,
• 14:21
  game
• 14:22
  over.
• 14:22
  You
• 14:22
  can
• 14:23
  unfreeze
• 14:23
  now.
• 14:23
  Shake
• 14:24
  out
• 14:24
  your
• 14:24
  arms
• 14:25
  and
• 14:25
  legs.
• 14:26
  How'd
• 14:26
  you
• 14:27
  do?
• 14:27
  If
• 14:28
  you
• 14:28
  giggled
• 14:28
  or
• 14:29
  wiggled,
• 14:29
  that's
• 14:30
  totally
• 14:30
  fine.
• 14:31
  In
• 14:32
  our
• 14:32
  game,
• 14:32
  we
• 14:32
  practiced
• 14:33
  a
• 14:33
  bit
• 14:33
  of
• 14:33
  self
• 14:33
  control
• 14:34
  and
• 14:34
  focus.
• 14:36
  The
• 14:36
  Buddha
• 14:36
  had
• 14:36
  to
• 14:37
  do
• 14:37
  that
• 14:37
  too.
• 14:38
  When
• 14:38
  he
• 14:38
  was
• 14:39
  meditating,
• 14:39
  he
• 14:40
  had
• 14:40
  to
• 14:40
  ignore
• 14:40
  many
• 14:41
  distractions.
• 14:42
  Staying
• 14:43
  calm
• 14:43
  isn't
• 14:44
  always
• 14:44
  easy,
• 14:45
  but
• 14:45
  it's
• 14:46
  something
• 14:46
  we
• 14:46
  can
• 14:46
  get
• 14:47
  better
• 14:47
  at
• 14:47
  with
• 14:47
  practice.
• 14:48
  Give
• 14:49
  yourself
• 14:49
  a
• 14:49
  pat
• 14:50
  on
• 14:50
  the
• 14:50
  back,
• 14:50
  statue
• 14:51
  champ.
• 14:54
  Before
• 14:54
  we
• 14:54
  build
• 14:55
  our
• 14:55
  friendship
• 14:55
  bridge,
• 14:56
  I
• 14:56
  need
• 14:56
  to
• 14:56
  shake
• 14:57
  out
• 14:57
  some
• 14:57
  energy.
• 14:58
  So
• 14:58
  stand
• 14:59
  up
• 14:59
  and
• 14:59
  give
• 15:00
  me
• 15:00
  your
• 15:00
  best
• 15:00
  will.
• 15:01
  Maybe
• 15:02
  you
• 15:02
  can
• 15:02
  wiggle
• 15:02
  your
• 15:03
  fingers
• 15:03
  like
• 15:04
  glowing
• 15:04
  lantern
• 15:05
  lights.
• 15:06
  Now
• 15:06
  sway
• 15:07
  side
• 15:07
  to
• 15:07
  side
• 15:08
  like
• 15:08
  the
• 15:09
  branches
• 15:09
  of
• 15:09
  the
• 15:09
  Bodhi
• 15:10
  tree.
• 15:11
  And
• 15:12
  one
• 15:12
  big
• 15:12
  stretch
• 15:13
  up
• 15:13
  high
• 15:13
  to
• 15:14
  the
• 15:14
  sky,
• 15:14
  reaching
• 15:15
  for
• 15:15
  those
• 15:15
  floating
• 15:16
  fossil
• 15:17
  lanterns.
• 15:18
  Nice.
• 15:19
  You're
• 15:20
  glowing
• 15:20
  with
• 15:21
  energy
• 15:21
  and
• 15:21
  ready
• 15:22
  to
• 15:22
  build
• 15:22
  some
• 15:23
  friendship.
• 15:26
  Our
• 15:26
  friendship
• 15:27
  bridge
• 15:27
  is
• 15:27
  where
• 15:28
  we
• 15:28
  think
• 15:28
  of
• 15:28
  ways
• 15:29
  to
• 15:29
  be
• 15:29
  kind
• 15:29
  and
• 15:30
  curious
• 15:30
  with
• 15:31
  people
• 15:31
  who
• 15:31
  believe
• 15:32
  differently
• 15:32
  than
• 15:32
  we
• 15:33
  do.
• 15:34
  Each
• 15:34
  idea
• 15:34
  we
• 15:35
  come
• 15:35
  up
• 15:35
  with
• 15:35
  is
• 15:36
  like
• 15:36
  a
• 15:36
  wooden
• 15:36
  plank
• 15:37
  that
• 15:37
  connects
• 15:37
  Us.
• 15:38
  Plank
• 15:39
  by
• 15:39
  plank,
• 15:40
  we
• 15:40
  build
• 15:41
  understanding.
• 15:43
  Our
• 15:44
  first
• 15:44
  plank,
• 15:45
  show
• 15:45
  respect
• 15:46
  for
• 15:47
  Buddhist
• 15:47
  practices.
• 15:49
  That
• 15:49
  might
• 15:49
  mean
• 15:50
  taking
• 15:50
  off
• 15:50
  your
• 15:50
  shoes
• 15:51
  before
• 15:51
  entering
• 15:52
  a

• 15:53
  using
• 15:54
  a

  or

  never
• 15:56
  climbing
• 15:57
  on
• 15:57
  a
• 15:57
  Buddha
• 15:58
  statue.
• 15:59
  Just
• 15:59
  like
• 16:00
  you
• 16:00
  wouldn't
• 16:00
  climb
• 16:01
  on
• 16:01
  your

  grandma's
• 16:01

• 16:02
  with

  you

  Try

  Many

  Buddhists

  free

  meals,
• 16:18
  especially

  during

  Maybe

  your

  can

  try

  friend
• 16:35
  to
• 16:35
  take
• 16:35
  a
• 16:36
  few
• 16:36
  calming
• 16:37
  breaths
• 16:37
  with
• 16:37
  you.
• 16:38
  It's
• 16:39
  a
• 16:39
  great
• 16:39
  way
• 16:39
  to
• 16:39
  connect,
• 16:40
  and
• 16:40
  you'll
• 16:40
  both
• 16:41
  feel
• 16:41
  more
• 16:41
  peaceful
• 16:42
  afterward.
• 16:44
  Want
• 16:44
  to
• 16:44
  make
• 16:45
  your
• 16:45
  friendship
• 16:45
  bridge
• 16:46
  even
• 16:46
  stronger?
• 16:47
  Think
• 16:48
  of
• 16:48
  your
• 16:48
  own
• 16:48
  ideas
• 16:49
  with
• 16:49
  a
• 16:49
  parrot
• 16:50
  or
• 16:50
  friend.
• 16:51
  The
• 16:51
  more
• 16:51
  planks
• 16:52
  we
• 16:52
  add,
• 16:52
  the
• 16:53
  sturdier
• 16:53
  our
• 16:54
  bridge
• 16:54
  becomes.
• 16:55
  Keep
• 16:56
  building
• 16:56
  it
• 16:56
  whenever
• 16:57
  you
• 16:57
  meet
• 16:58
  someone
• 16:58
  who
• 16:58
  believes
• 16:59
  differently
• 16:59
  than
• 17:00
  you.
• 17:00
  It's
• 17:01
  time
• 17:01
  for
• 17:01
  our
• 17:02
  weekly
• 17:02
  challenge.
• 17:07
  This
• 17:07
  week
• 17:07
  we
• 17:08
  have
• 17:08
  the
• 17:08
  tremendous
• 17:10
  challenge
• 17:11
  since
• 17:11
  we
• 17:12
  learned
• 17:12
  how
• 17:12
  the
• 17:12
  Buddha
• 17:13
  found
• 17:13
  stillness
• 17:14
  and
• 17:15
  enlightenment
• 17:15
  under
• 17:16
  a
• 17:16
  tree.
• 17:17
  Our
• 17:17
  challenge
• 17:18
  is
• 17:18
  to
• 17:19
  do
• 17:19
  a
• 17:20
  yoga
• 17:20
  pose
• 17:20
  inspired
• 17:21
  by
• 17:21
  a
• 17:22
  tree.
• 17:23
  It's
• 17:23
  called
• 17:23
  the
• 17:24
  tree
• 17:24
  pose.
• 17:25
  How
• 17:25
  perfect
• 17:25
  is
• 17:26
  that?
• 17:27
  Our
• 17:27
  goal
• 17:27
  is
• 17:28
  to
• 17:28
  do
• 17:28
  that
• 17:28
  pose
• 17:29
  every
• 17:29
  day
• 17:30
  for
• 17:30
  seven
• 17:31
  days.
• 17:32
  Don't
• 17:32
  worry
• 17:32
  if
• 17:33
  you've
• 17:33
  never
• 17:33
  done
• 17:33
  yoga.
• 17:34
  I'll
• 17:34
  guide
• 17:35
  you
• 17:35
  through
• 17:35
  it.
• 17:36
  This
• 17:36
  pose
• 17:37
  is
• 17:37
  about
• 17:37
  balance
• 17:38
  and
• 17:39
  calm,
• 17:40
  just
• 17:40
  like
• 17:40
  the
• 17:41
  Bodhi
• 17:41
  tree
• 17:41
  that
• 17:42
  sheltered
• 17:42
  the
• 17:42
  Buddha.
• 17:44
  All
• 17:44
  right,
• 17:44
  stand
• 17:45
  up.
• 17:46
  Stand
• 17:46
  up
• 17:46
  tall.
• 17:47
  Put
• 17:47
  your
• 17:47
  feet
• 17:48
  flat
• 17:48
  on
• 17:49
  the
• 17:49
  ground.
• 17:50
  Imagine
• 17:51
  your
• 17:51
  feet
• 17:52
  are
• 17:52
  roots
• 17:53
  pressing
• 17:54
  into
• 17:54
  the
• 17:54
  earth.
• 17:55
  Your
• 17:56
  body
• 17:56
  is
• 17:57
  the
• 17:57
  tree
• 17:57
  trunk.
• 17:58
  Nice
• 17:59
  and
• 17:59
  straight.
• 18:00
  Roll
• 18:01
  your
• 18:01
  shoulders
• 18:02
  back
• 18:02
  gently
• 18:03
  so
• 18:03
  you
• 18:03
  feel
• 18:04
  proud
• 18:04
  and
• 18:05
  steady.
• 18:06
  Now
• 18:07
  slowly
• 18:07
  lift
• 18:08
  one
• 18:08
  foot.
• 18:09
  You
• 18:10
  can
• 18:10
  rest
• 18:10
  it
• 18:10
  on
• 18:10
  your
• 18:11
  ankle,
• 18:12
  your
• 18:12
  calf
• 18:12
  above
• 18:13
  your
• 18:13
  knee,
• 18:13
  but
• 18:14
  don't
• 18:14
  put
• 18:15
  it
• 18:15
  right
• 18:15
  on
• 18:15
  your
• 18:16
  knee.
• 18:17
  Find
• 18:17
  what
• 18:17
  feels
• 18:18
  good
• 18:18
  for
• 18:18
  you
• 18:18
  for
• 18:18
  your
• 18:19
  balance.
• 18:19
  If
• 18:20
  you
• 18:20
  need
• 18:20
  to
• 18:21
  hold
• 18:21
  onto
• 18:21
  a
• 18:22
  wall
• 18:22
  or
• 18:22
  a
• 18:22
  chair
• 18:23
  for
• 18:23
  a
• 18:23
  moment,
• 18:24
  this
• 18:24
  might
• 18:24
  feel
• 18:25
  wobbly.
• 18:26
  That's
• 18:27
  okay.
• 18:27
  Trees
• 18:28
  sway
• 18:28
  in
• 18:28
  the
• 18:29
  wind
• 18:29
  sometimes.
• 18:30
  If
• 18:30
  you
• 18:31
  fall
• 18:31
  out
• 18:31
  of
• 18:31
  the
• 18:32
  pose,
• 18:32
  just
• 18:33
  try
• 18:33
  again.
• 18:34
  Bring
• 18:35
  your
• 18:35
  hands
• 18:35
  together
• 18:35
  at
• 18:36
  your
• 18:36
  chest.
• 18:37
  Or
• 18:37
  stretch
• 18:38
  your
• 18:38
  arms
• 18:38
  up
• 18:39
  high
• 18:39
  to
• 18:39
  the
• 18:39
  sky
• 18:40
  like
• 18:40
  branches.
• 18:41
  Whatever
• 18:42
  feels
• 18:42
  more
• 18:42
  stable
• 18:43
  for
• 18:43
  you.
• 18:44
  I
• 18:44
  like
• 18:45
  to
• 18:45
  put
• 18:45
  my
• 18:45
  hands
• 18:45
  together
• 18:46
  over
• 18:46
  my
• 18:46
  heart,
• 18:47
  palm
• 18:47
  to
• 18:47
  palm.
• 18:49
  Now
• 18:49
  you're
• 18:49
  officially
• 18:50
  in
• 18:50
  tree
• 18:51
  pose.
• 18:53
  Focus
• 18:54
  your
• 18:54
  eyes
• 18:54
  on
• 18:54
  something
• 18:55
  in
• 18:55
  front
• 18:55
  of
• 18:55
  you
• 18:56
  that's
• 18:56
  not
• 18:56
  moving.
• 18:57
  It
• 18:57
  helps
• 18:58
  you
• 18:58
  balance.
• 18:59
  Take
• 18:59
  a
• 18:59
  deep
• 19:00
  breath
• 19:00
  in.
• 19:02
  And
• 19:02
  as
• 19:02
  you
• 19:02
  breathe
• 19:03
  out,
• 19:03
  imagine
• 19:04
  your
• 19:04
  standing
• 19:05
  legs
• 19:05
  foot
• 19:06
  is
• 19:06
  rooting
• 19:07
  even
• 19:07
  deeper
• 19:08
  into
• 19:08
  the
• 19:09
  ground.
• 19:11
  Now
• 19:11
  we're
• 19:11
  going
• 19:11
  to
• 19:11
  switch
• 19:12
  legs,
• 19:12
  so
• 19:13
  try
• 19:13
  the
• 19:13
  other
• 19:13
  leg.
• 19:14
  I'll
• 19:14
  give
• 19:14
  you
• 19:15
  a
• 19:15
  moment
• 19:15
  while
• 19:15
  you
• 19:15
  switch.
• 19:20
  All
• 19:20
  right,
• 19:20
  we're
• 19:20
  going
• 19:21
  to
• 19:21
  hold
• 19:21
  it
• 19:21
  for
• 19:21
  five
• 19:22
  slow
• 19:22
  breaths
• 19:23
  together.
• 19:24
  Ready?
• 19:25
  1.
• 19:26
  Breathe
• 19:26
  in,
• 19:28
  breathe
• 19:28
  out.
• 19:30
  2.
• 19:31
  You're
• 19:31
  steady
• 19:32
  and
• 19:32
  tall.
• 19:34
  3.
• 19:34
  Sway
• 19:35
  a
• 19:35
  little.
• 19:36
  That's
• 19:36
  okay.
• 19:38
  4.
• 19:39
  You're
• 19:39
  doing
• 19:40
  great.
• 19:42
  5.
• 19:43
  Gently
• 19:43
  lower
• 19:44
  your
• 19:44
  arms
• 19:45
  and
• 19:46
  foot.
• 19:48
  How
• 19:48
  was
• 19:49
  it?
• 19:49
  Maybe
• 19:50
  one
• 19:50
  side
• 19:50
  is
• 19:51
  easier
• 19:51
  than
• 19:51
  the
• 19:51
  other.
• 19:52
  That's
• 19:53
  totally
• 19:53
  normal.
• 19:54
  The
• 19:54
  challenge
• 19:55
  is
• 19:55
  to
• 19:55
  practice
• 19:56
  this
• 19:56
  tree
• 19:57
  pose
• 19:57
  every
• 19:58
  day.
• 19:58
  See
• 19:59
  if
• 19:59
  you
• 19:59
  can
• 19:59
  increase
• 19:59
  your
• 20:00
  time
• 20:00
  bit
• 20:00
  by
• 20:01
  bit.
• 20:02
  Perhaps
• 20:02
  today
• 20:02
  you
• 20:03
  did
• 20:03
  five
• 20:03
  long
• 20:04
  breaths.
• 20:05
  Maybe
• 20:05
  in
• 20:05
  a
• 20:05
  few
• 20:06
  days
• 20:06
  you
• 20:06
  can
• 20:06
  do
• 20:06
  eight
• 20:07
  or
• 20:07
  ten
• 20:07
  breaths.
• 20:08
  You'll
• 20:09
  notice
• 20:09
  your
• 20:09
  legs
• 20:10
  getting
• 20:10
  stronger
• 20:11
  and
• 20:11
  your
• 20:11
  balance
• 20:12
  improving.
• 20:13
  Head
• 20:14
  over

  to

  your

• 20:19
  Each

  day
• 20:20
  has
• 20:20
  a
• 20:20
  new
• 20:20
  suggestion
• 20:21
  like
• 20:22
  challenging
• 20:22
  a

  grown

  up

  to

  pose
• 20:24
  with

  you.
• 20:25
  See
• 20:25
  who
• 20:25
  can
• 20:26
  hold
• 20:26
  it
• 20:26
  the

  longest.
• 20:27
  When
• 20:28
  you
• 20:28
  practice
• 20:28
  the
• 20:29
  tree
• 20:29
  pose
• 20:29
  this
• 20:30
  week,
• 20:30
  remember
• 20:31
  the
• 20:31
  Bodhi
• 20:32
  Tree.
• 20:32
  Just
• 20:33
  like
• 20:33
  that
• 20:33
  tree
• 20:34
  helped
• 20:34
  the

• 20:35
  your

• 20:36
  can
• 20:36
  help
• 20:36
  you
• 20:37
  grow
• 20:37
  too.
• 20:38
  After
• 20:38
  this
• 20:39
  episode,
• 20:39
  maybe
• 20:40
  you
• 20:40
  could
• 20:40
  draw
• 20:40
  your

  own

• 20:41
  of

  the

  or

  pose.
• 20:45
  Now
• 20:46
  that
• 20:46
  we're
• 20:46
  feeling
• 20:46
  rooted
• 20:47
  like
• 20:47
  trees,
• 20:48
  it's
• 20:48
  time
• 20:48
  to
• 20:48
  open
• 20:49
  up
• 20:49
  our

  Backpack.
• 20:54
  Our

  backpack
• 20:55
  is
• 20:55
  our

  special
• 20:56
  imaginary
• 20:57
  backpack
• 20:57
  where

  we

  collect

• 20:59
  and
• 20:59
  lessons
• 21:00
  from

  each

• 21:02
  These
• 21:02
  help
• 21:03
  us
• 21:03
  carry
• 21:03
  what

  we've
• 21:04
  learned
• 21:04
  in
• 21:04
  our

• 21:05
  and

  maybe
• 21:06
  even
• 21:06
  share
• 21:07
  it
• 21:07
  with
• 21:07
  someone
• 21:07
  else.
• 21:09
  Let's
• 21:09
  see
• 21:09
  what
• 21:09
  we
• 21:09
  can
• 21:10
  add
• 21:10
  from
• 21:10
  Fasak
• 21:11
  and
• 21:11
  the

• 21:16
  First

  up,

  a

• 21:22
  to
• 21:23
  remember
• 21:23
  the
• 21:23
  Buddhist
• 21:24
  enlightenment.
• 21:25
  The
• 21:25
  next
• 21:26
  time
• 21:26
  you
• 21:26
  learn
• 21:27
  something
• 21:27
  new
• 21:27
  or
• 21:28
  help
• 21:28
  someone
• 21:29
  understand
• 21:29
  something,
• 21:30
  imagine
• 21:31
  your
• 21:31
  lantern
• 21:32
  glowing
• 21:32
  a
• 21:33
  little
• 21:33
  brighter.
• 21:36
  Next,
• 21:37
  a
• 21:37
  Bodhi
• 21:37
  leaf.
• 21:38
  This
• 21:39
  leaf
• 21:39
  comes
• 21:40
  from
• 21:40
  the
• 21:40
  very
• 21:41
  tree
• 21:41
  the
• 21:41
  Buddha
• 21:42
  sat
• 21:42
  under.
• 21:43
  It
• 21:43
  stands
• 21:44
  for
• 21:44
  compassion,
• 21:45
  which
• 21:46
  means
• 21:46
  caring
• 21:47
  deeply
• 21:47
  for
• 21:48
  others.
• 21:49
  If
• 21:49
  you
• 21:49
  see
• 21:50
  someone
• 21:50
  who's
• 21:51
  sad,
• 21:52
  lonely,
• 21:53
  or
• 21:53
  having
• 21:54
  a
• 21:54
  tough
• 21:54
  day,
• 21:55
  let
• 21:56
  your
• 21:56
  Bodhi
• 21:56
  leaf
• 21:57
  remind
• 21:57
  you
• 21:57
  to
• 21:58
  offer
• 21:58
  a
• 21:58
  kind
• 21:59
  word
• 21:59
  or
• 22:00
  a
• 22:00
  helping
• 22:00
  hand.
• 22:04
  And
• 22:04
  finally,
• 22:05
  a
• 22:05
  tiny
• 22:06
  temple
• 22:07
  bell.
• 22:08
  Buddhist
• 22:09
  temples
• 22:09
  ring
• 22:10
  bells
• 22:10
  before
• 22:10
  meditation
• 22:11
  to
• 22:12
  help
• 22:12
  people
• 22:12
  pause
• 22:13
  and
• 22:14
  become
• 22:14
  mindful.
• 22:15
  When
• 22:16
  you
• 22:16
  feel
• 22:16
  rushed,
• 22:17
  frustrated
• 22:18
  or
• 22:18
  distracted,
• 22:19
  take
• 22:19
  one
• 22:20
  deep
• 22:20
  breath
• 22:22
  and
• 22:22
  imagine
• 22:22
  this
• 22:23
  bell
• 22:23
  gently
• 22:24
  ringing,
• 22:25
  reminding
• 22:25
  you
• 22:26
  to
• 22:26
  slow
• 22:26
  down
• 22:27
  and
• 22:27
  feel
• 22:28
  calm
• 22:28
  again.
• 22:30
  Our
• 22:30
  belief
• 22:30
  backpack
• 22:31
  is
• 22:31
  now
• 22:31
  a
• 22:32
  bit
• 22:32
  heavier.
• 22:32
  With
• 22:33
  wisdom,
• 22:33
  compassion
• 22:34
  and
• 22:35
  peace,
• 22:36
  these
• 22:36
  items
• 22:37
  will
• 22:37
  help
• 22:37
  us
• 22:37
  remember
• 22:38
  Buddha's
• 22:39
  be
• 22:40
  wise,
• 22:40
  be
• 22:41
  kind,
• 22:41
  be
• 22:42
  mindful
• 22:43
  explorers.
• 22:44
  This
• 22:44
  actually
• 22:45
  reminds
• 22:45
  me
• 22:46
  of
• 22:46
  our
• 22:46
  adventure
• 22:47
  into
• 22:47
  the
• 22:47
  Baha'
• 22:47
  I
• 22:47
  faith
• 22:48
  during
• 22:49
  the
• 22:49
  festival
• 22:50
  of
• 22:50
  Vrisvan.
• 22:51
  The
• 22:52
  Buddha's
• 22:52
  teachings
• 22:53
  of
• 22:53
  peace
• 22:53
  and
• 22:54
  compassion
• 22:55
  connect
• 22:55
  beautifully
• 22:56
  with
• 22:56
  those
• 22:56
  values.
• 22:57
  Isn't
• 22:57
  it
• 22:58
  amazing
• 22:58
  how
• 22:59
  different
• 22:59
  faiths
• 23:00
  can
• 23:00
  guide
• 23:00
  us
• 23:01
  toward
• 23:01
  the
• 23:01
  same
• 23:02
  ideas?
• 23:03
  Like
• 23:03
  being
• 23:03
  kind,
• 23:04
  wise,
• 23:05
  and
• 23:05
  treating
• 23:06
  everyone
• 23:06
  with
• 23:06
  love.
• 23:10
  Now
• 23:10
  it's
• 23:10
  story
• 23:11
  time.
• 23:12
  Get
• 23:12
  cozy,
• 23:12
  explorers,
• 23:13
  because
• 23:13
  I've
• 23:14
  got
• 23:14
  A
• 23:14
  traditional
• 23:15
  Buddhist
• 23:15
  tale
• 23:16
  that's
• 23:16
  been
• 23:16
  told
• 23:16
  for
• 23:17
  hundreds
• 23:17
  of
• 23:17
  years.
• 23:19
  It's
• 23:19
  called
• 23:20
  the
• 23:20
  Blind
• 23:21
  Men
• 23:22
  and
• 23:22
  the
• 23:22
  Elephant.
• 23:26
  Once
• 23:26
  upon
• 23:27
  a
• 23:27
  time,
• 23:27
  in
• 23:27
  a
• 23:27
  land
• 23:28
  far,
• 23:29
  far
• 23:29
  away,
• 23:30
  there
• 23:30
  lived
• 23:30
  a
• 23:31
  curious
• 23:31
  king.
• 23:33
  One
• 23:33
  day,
• 23:33
  he
• 23:34
  had
• 23:34
  an
• 23:34
  idea.
• 23:35
  He
• 23:35
  invited
• 23:36
  six
• 23:37
  blind
• 23:37
  men
• 23:38
  from
• 23:38
  a
• 23:38
  nearby
• 23:39
  village.
• 23:40
  I
• 23:40
  have
• 23:40
  something
• 23:40
  special
• 23:41
  I'd
• 23:41
  like
• 23:41
  to
• 23:41
  show
• 23:41
  you.
• 23:42
  An
• 23:42
  elephant.
• 23:44
  None
• 23:44
  of
• 23:44
  them
• 23:45
  knew
• 23:45
  what
• 23:45
  an
• 23:45
  elephant
• 23:46
  was,
• 23:46
  so
• 23:46
  they
• 23:47
  were
• 23:47
  excited.
• 23:48
  The
• 23:48
  king
• 23:49
  brought
• 23:49
  out
• 23:49
  his
• 23:50
  gentle
• 23:50
  elephant
• 23:51
  and
• 23:51
  let
• 23:51
  each
• 23:52
  man
• 23:52
  touch
• 23:53
  a
• 23:53
  different
• 23:53
  palm.
• 23:55
  The
• 23:55
  first
• 23:55
  man
• 23:56
  touched
• 23:56
  the
• 23:56
  elephant's
• 23:57
  side.
• 23:58
  Oh.
• 23:58
  An
• 23:59
  elephant
• 23:59
  is
• 23:59
  like
• 23:59
  a
• 23:59
  wall.
• 24:00
  Wide
• 24:00
  and
• 24:00
  flat
• 24:01
  and
• 24:01
  solid.
• 24:02
  The
• 24:02
  second
• 24:02
  man
• 24:03
  grabbed
• 24:03
  the
• 24:04
  tusk.
• 24:05
  What
• 24:05
  are
• 24:05
  you
• 24:05
  talking
• 24:06
  about?
• 24:06
  It's
• 24:07
  a
• 24:07
  spear.
• 24:07
  Long
• 24:08
  and
• 24:08
  sharp
• 24:08
  and
• 24:09
  smooth.
• 24:10
  The
• 24:10
  third
• 24:10
  man
• 24:11
  felt
• 24:11
  the
• 24:12
  trunk
• 24:12
  wiggle
• 24:13
  in
• 24:13
  the
• 24:13
  air.
• 24:14
  No
• 24:14
  way.
• 24:15
  It's
• 24:15
  a
• 24:15
  snake.
• 24:15
  It's
• 24:16
  soft
• 24:16
  and
• 24:16
  moves.
• 24:17
  The
• 24:17
  fourth
• 24:18
  man
• 24:18
  wrapped
• 24:19
  his
• 24:19
  arm
• 24:20
  around
• 24:20
  a
• 24:20
  leg.
• 24:21
  You're
• 24:21
  all
• 24:22
  wrong.
• 24:22
  It's
• 24:23
  a
• 24:23
  tree.
• 24:24
  Thick
• 24:24
  and
• 24:24
  round
• 24:25
  and
• 24:25
  sturdy.
• 24:26
  The
• 24:27
  fifth
• 24:27
  man
• 24:27
  touched
• 24:28
  the
• 24:28
  ear.
• 24:29
  Ha.
• 24:30
  This
• 24:30
  is
• 24:30
  a
• 24:30
  fan.
• 24:31
  It's
• 24:31
  flat,
• 24:32
  floppy
• 24:32
  and
• 24:32
  moves
• 24:33
  the
• 24:33
  air.
• 24:33
  And
• 24:34
  the
• 24:34
  sixth
• 24:35
  man
• 24:35
  grabbed
• 24:36
  the
• 24:36
  tail.
• 24:37
  What
• 24:37
  are
• 24:37
  you
• 24:37
  talking
• 24:37
  about?
• 24:38
  It's
• 24:38
  clearly
• 24:38
  a
• 24:39
  rope.
• 24:39
  Thin
• 24:39
  and
• 24:39
  swishy.
• 24:41
  Then
• 24:41
  they
• 24:42
  started
• 24:42
  to
• 24:42
  argue.
• 24:43
  It's
• 24:44
  a
• 24:44
  tree,
• 24:45
  wall,
• 24:45
  rope.
• 24:46
  Fan.
• 24:47
  Snake.
• 24:47
  It's
• 24:48
  a
• 24:48
  spear.
• 24:49
  Each
• 24:49
  man
• 24:49
  thought
• 24:50
  he
• 24:50
  was
• 24:50
  right.
• 24:51
  They
• 24:51
  couldn't
• 24:52
  even
• 24:52
  hear
• 24:52
  each
• 24:52
  other
• 24:53
  anymore.
• 24:54
  The
• 24:55
  king
• 24:55
  raised
• 24:55
  his
• 24:56
  hand
• 24:56
  and
• 24:56
  smiled.
• 24:57
  My
• 24:58
  friends,
• 24:58
  you
• 24:58
  are
• 24:58
  alright,
• 24:59
  but
• 24:59
  only
• 24:59
  partly.
• 25:00
  You
• 25:01
  each
• 25:01
  felt
• 25:01
  just
• 25:01
  one
• 25:02
  part
• 25:02
  of
• 25:02
  the
• 25:02
  elephant.
• 25:03
  If
• 25:03
  you
• 25:03
  listen
• 25:04
  to
• 25:04
  each
• 25:04
  other,
• 25:05
  you'll
• 25:05
  understand
• 25:05
  the
• 25:06
  whole
• 25:06
  truth.
• 25:06
  The
• 25:07
  men
• 25:07
  paused.
• 25:08
  They
• 25:08
  took
• 25:09
  a
• 25:09
  breath
• 25:10
  and
• 25:11
  slowly
• 25:12
  they
• 25:12
  began
• 25:13
  to
• 25:13
  listen.
• 25:16
  They
• 25:16
  shared
• 25:17
  what
• 25:17
  they
• 25:17
  had
• 25:17
  felt
• 25:18
  and
• 25:18
  together
• 25:19
  they
• 25:19
  understood.
• 25:21
  The
• 25:21
  elephant
• 25:22
  was
• 25:22
  all
• 25:22
  of
• 25:23
  those
• 25:23
  things
• 25:24
  and
• 25:24
  more.
• 25:28
  The
• 25:28
  first
• 25:29
  time
• 25:29
  I
• 25:29
  heard
• 25:29
  this
• 25:29
  story
• 25:30
  was
• 25:30
  in
• 25:30
  the
• 25:30
  form
• 25:30
  of
• 25:31
  a
• 25:31
  book
• 25:31
  called
• 25:31
  Seven
• 25:32
  Blind
• 25:32
  Mice
• 25:33
  by
• 25:33
  Ed
• 25:33
  Young.
• 25:34
  It
• 25:34
  was
• 25:34
  when
• 25:34
  I
• 25:34
  was
• 25:34
  growing
• 25:35
  up,
• 25:35
  I
• 25:35
  came
• 25:35
  across
• 25:36
  this
• 25:36
  and
• 25:36
  I
• 25:37
  really
• 25:37
  enjoyed
• 25:37
  it.
• 25:38
  So
• 25:38
  if
• 25:38
  you
• 25:38
  would
• 25:38
  like
• 25:38
  to
• 25:39
  hear
• 25:39
  this
• 25:40
  tell
• 25:40
  again,
• 25:41
  but
• 25:41
  in
• 25:41
  this
• 25:42
  version
• 25:42
  it
• 25:42
  is
• 25:43
  seven
• 25:43
  blind
• 25:43
  mice
• 25:44
  that
• 25:44
  are
• 25:45
  exploring
• 25:45
  a
• 25:45
  mystery
• 25:46
  object.
• 25:46
  Go
• 25:47
  to
• 25:47
  my
• 25:47
  website
• 25:47
  faithfully
• 25:48
  explore.com
• 25:49
  and
• 25:49
  I've
• 25:49
  got
• 25:49
  the
• 25:49
  link
• 25:50
  to
• 25:50
  that
• 25:50
  book
• 25:50
  Seven
• 25:51
  Blind
• 25:51
  Mice
• 25:51
  for
• 25:52
  you.
• 25:52
  You
• 25:52
  might
• 25:52
  want
• 25:52
  to
• 25:52
  check
• 25:53
  it
• 25:53
  out.
• 25:53
  But
• 25:54
  while
• 25:54
  I
• 25:54
  was
• 25:54
  thinking
• 25:55
  about
• 25:55
  this
• 25:55
  story,
• 25:55
  it
• 25:56
  made
• 25:56
  me
• 25:56
  think,
• 25:57
  have
• 25:57
  you
• 25:57
  ever
• 25:58
  seen
• 25:58
  something
• 25:59
  differently
• 25:59
  than
• 25:59
  a
• 25:59
  friend?
• 26:00
  Like
• 26:00
  maybe
• 26:01
  you
• 26:01
  were
• 26:01
  playing
• 26:01
  a
• 26:01
  game
• 26:02
  and
• 26:02
  you
• 26:02
  thought
• 26:02
  everything
• 26:03
  was
• 26:03
  fair,
• 26:04
  but
• 26:04
  your
• 26:04
  friend
• 26:05
  didn't.
• 26:06
  Or
• 26:07
  maybe
• 26:07
  you
• 26:07
  had
• 26:07
  a
• 26:08
  different
• 26:08
  idea
• 26:08
  about
• 26:09
  how
• 26:09
  you
• 26:10
  were
• 26:10
  supposed
• 26:10
  to
• 26:10
  play
• 26:11
  the
• 26:11
  game
• 26:11
  or
• 26:11
  what
• 26:11
  the
• 26:11
  rules
• 26:12
  were.
• 26:13
  Now
• 26:13
  take
• 26:13
  a
• 26:13
  moment
• 26:14
  and
• 26:14
  picture
• 26:15
  that
• 26:15
  time.
• 26:16
  Can
• 26:16
  you
• 26:16
  remember
• 26:17
  what
• 26:17
  it
• 26:18
  felt
• 26:18
  like?
• 26:20
  Now
• 26:21
  imagine
• 26:21
  what
• 26:21
  might
• 26:22
  have
• 26:22
  happened
• 26:22
  if
• 26:22
  you
• 26:23
  both
• 26:23
  listened
• 26:23
  to
• 26:24
  each
• 26:24
  other,
• 26:24
  just
• 26:25
  like
• 26:25
  the
• 26:25
  blind
• 26:25
  men
• 26:26
  in
• 26:26
  the
• 26:26
  story.
• 26:27
  What
• 26:28
  would
• 26:28
  you
• 26:28
  learn?
• 26:29
  How
• 26:29
  might
• 26:29
  it
• 26:30
  help
• 26:30
  you
• 26:30
  understand
• 26:30
  your
• 26:31
  friend
• 26:31
  a
• 26:31
  little
• 26:31
  better
• 26:33
  this
• 26:33
  week?
• 26:33
  Try
• 26:34
  asking
• 26:34
  someone,
• 26:35
  what
• 26:36
  do
• 26:36
  you
• 26:36
  see?
• 26:36
  Or
• 26:37
  can
• 26:37
  you
• 26:37
  tell
• 26:38
  me
• 26:38
  more
• 26:38
  about
• 26:38
  how
• 26:38
  you
• 26:39
  feel?
• 26:40
  You
• 26:40
  might
• 26:41
  be
• 26:41
  surprised
• 26:41
  by
• 26:42
  how
• 26:42
  much
• 26:42
  you
• 26:42
  learn.
• 26:43
  Just
• 26:43
  like
• 26:43
  the
• 26:44
  blind
• 26:44
  man
• 26:44
  with
• 26:44
  the
• 26:45
  elephant.
• 26:46
  Because
• 26:46
  just
• 26:46
  like
• 26:46
  the
• 26:47
  Buddha
• 26:47
  taught,
• 26:47
  listening
• 26:48
  with
• 26:48
  kindness
• 26:49
  can
• 26:49
  open
• 26:50
  up
• 26:50
  a
• 26:50
  whole
• 26:51
  new
• 26:51
  view
• 26:51
  of
• 26:51
  the
• 26:52
  world.
• 26:52
  We're
• 26:53
  almost
• 26:53
  at
• 26:53
  the
• 26:53
  end
• 26:53
  of
• 26:54
  our
• 26:54
  Vasak
• 26:54
  adventure,
• 26:55
  but
• 26:55
  before
• 26:56
  we
• 26:56
  go,
• 26:56
  want
• 26:57
  a
• 26:57
  sneak
• 26:57
  peek
• 26:57
  of
• 26:58
  what's
• 26:58
  coming
• 26:58
  next?
• 27:01
  Next
• 27:01
  time
• 27:01
  on
• 27:02
  Faithfully
• 27:02
  Explore.
• 27:03
  We're
• 27:03
  tuning
• 27:04
  to
• 27:04
  something
• 27:05
  that
• 27:05
  people
• 27:05
  all
• 27:06
  over
• 27:06
  the
• 27:06
  world
• 27:07
  do
• 27:07
  every
• 27:07
  single
• 27:08
  day.
• 27:09
  Prayer.
• 27:10
  Like
• 27:11
  the
• 27:11
  Buddha
• 27:11
  meditated
• 27:12
  to
• 27:12
  find
• 27:13
  peace.
• 27:14
  Many
• 27:14
  people
• 27:14
  pray
• 27:15
  to
• 27:15
  feel
• 27:16
  calm
• 27:16
  or
• 27:16
  thankful.
• 27:18
  But
• 27:18
  did
• 27:18
  you
• 27:18
  know
• 27:19
  that
• 27:19
  people
• 27:19
  pray
• 27:20
  in
• 27:20
  many
• 27:21
  different
• 27:21
  ways?
• 27:22
  Some
• 27:23
  stand,
• 27:24
  some
• 27:24
  bow,
• 27:25
  some
• 27:26
  whisper,
• 27:26
  and
• 27:27
  some
• 27:27
  even
• 27:27
  sing.
• 27:29
  We'll
• 27:29
  discover
• 27:29
  what
• 27:30
  prayer
• 27:30
  looks
• 27:30
  like
• 27:31
  in
• 27:31
  different
• 27:31
  faiths
• 27:32
  and
• 27:32
  how
• 27:33
  it
• 27:33
  helps
• 27:33
  people
• 27:34
  feel
• 27:34
  connected,
• 27:35
  calm,
• 27:36
  or
• 27:36
  even
• 27:36
  brave.
• 27:38
  I
• 27:38
  hope
• 27:38
  you'll
• 27:38
  join
• 27:39
  me.

  shared

  with

• 27:46
  I

  the

  where

  we
• 27:48
  ran
• 27:48
  in
• 27:48
  place.
• 27:49
  I
• 27:49
  did
• 27:49
  it
• 27:50
  next
• 27:50
  to
• 27:50
  my
• 27:50
  dog
• 27:50
  and

  he

  thought
• 27:51
  I
• 27:52
  was
• 27:52
  playing
• 27:52
  with

  him.
• 27:54
  That
• 27:54
  is
• 27:54
  adorable,
• 27:55
  Sophie.
• 27:56
  I

  your

  excited
