[03:09.95]I thought about when I was a kid, nobody worked eight hours per day, everybody worked two hours, two months a year, planting rice one month and harvesting the rice another month. 我记得在我小的时候,没有人会一天工作8个小时,大家每天只工作两小时,每年只工作两个月,一个月种大米,一个月收大米。 [03:23.84]The rest is free time, ten months of free time. 其它时间都是空闲的,十个月闲置时间, [03:27.10]That's why people have so many festivals in Thailand, every month they have festival. 这就是为什么泰国有那么多的节日,每个月都有节日。 [03:31.25]Because they have so much free time. 因为他们有太多的自由时间。 [03:33.80]And then in the daytime, everybody even takes a nap. 白天的时候,每个人都会睡午觉。 [03:38.49]Even now in Laos, if anybody go to Laos if you can, people take a nap after lunch. 现在即使在老挝,你可以去老挝看看,人们在午饭后也会睡。 [03:45.00]And after they wake up, they just gossip, how's your son-in-law, how's your wife, daughter-in-law. 午觉睡醒之后,他们就闲聊你的女婿怎么样、你的妻子、儿媳妇如何如何。 [03:51.74]People have a lot of time, but because they have a lot of time, they have time to be with themselves. 人们有太多的时间,因为他们有这么多的时间,他们就可以从容地做回自己。 [04:01.21]And when they have time to be with themselves, they have time to understand themselves. 当他们有时间做回自己,他们就有时间了解自己。 [04:05.98]When they understand themselves, they can see what they want in their life. 当他们了解了自己,就可以看到自己一生的目标是什么。 [04:10.75]So, many people see that they want happiness, they want love, they want to enjoy their life. 很多人发现他们想要幸福,想要爱,想要享受生活。 [04:17.74]So, people see a lot of beauty in their life, so they express that beauty in many ways. 于是人们看到了生命中的许多美丽,他们用各种各样的方式来展现美丽, [04:24.56]Some people by carving the handle of their knife, very beautiful, the baskets they are weaving very nicely. 有些人喜欢雕刻刀柄很漂亮,他们编的篮子很好看。 [04:32.36]But, now, nobody does that. 但是现在,没人做这个工作了, [04:34.63]Nobody can do something like that. 再也没有人会这项手艺了, [04:37.78]People use plastic everywhere. 到处都是塑胶。 [04:39.16]So, I feel like it's something wrong in there, I cannot live in this way of living. 所以我觉得肯定出了一些问题,我不能用现在这种方式生活下去, [04:44.97]So, I decided to quit University, and went back home. 于是我决定离开大学回到家乡。 [04:50.37]When I went back home, I started to live like I remember, like when I was a kid. 当我回到家乡,我开始了我小时候记忆中的生活方式。 [04:57.82]I started to work two months a year. I got four tons of rice. 我每年只工作两个月,就收获了四吨大米。 [05:02.79]And the whole family, six people, we eat less than half a ton per year. 一家六口人一年吃不到半吨大米, [05:08.19]So we can sell some rice. 所以我们还可以卖出一些大米。 [05:10.76]And then I dug two ponds, two fish ponds. We have fish to eat all year round. 我挖了两个鱼塘,里面的鱼足够我们吃一整年。 [05:16.32]And I started a small garden. Less than half an acre. 我还搞了一个小菜园,不到半英亩, [05:24.80]And I spend 15 minutes per day to take care of the garden. 我每天花15分钟打理菜园,里 [05:30.00]I have more than 30 varieties of vegetables in the garden. 面种了30多种蔬菜。 [05:34.60]So, six people cannot eat all of it. 所以,六口人根本吃不了, [05:37.78]We have a surplus to sell in the market. We can make some income in there, too. 我们还可以拿到市场去卖,还能有一些收入。 [05:45.66]So, I feel like, it's easy, why I have to be in Bangkok for seven years, working hard and then not have enough to eat, 我觉得这太轻松了,为什么要去曼谷辛苦工作7年,还吃不饱呢? [05:54.32]but here, only two months a year and 15 minutes per day I can feed six people. That's easy. 在这里,我每年工作两个月,每天花15分钟时间就可以养活六口人,太轻松了。 [06:02.80]And before I think that stupid people like me who never get a good grade in the school, cannot have a house. 以前我觉得,像我这样在学校里从没取得过好成绩的笨蛋,肯定连栋房子都买不起。 [06:13.93]Because people who are cleverer than me, who get number one in the class every year, they get a good job, but they need to work more than 30 years to have a house. 因为比我聪明、每年都在班级里排名第一的那些人,他们有一份好工作,但也需要工作30多年才能买一栋房子。 [06:25.48]But for me who cannot finish university, how can I have a house? 但是我呢?没有读完大学,怎么能拥有一栋房子? [06:29.50]Hopeless for people who have low education, like me. 像我这样没有受过教育的人,是没有希望的。 [06:33.41]But, then I started to do earthly building, it's so easy. 但是当我开始用老方法盖房,很简单就解决了这个问题。 [06:37.10]I spend two hours per day, from 5 o'clock in the morning, to 7 o'clock in the morning, two hours per day. 我每天花两个小时,从早上5点到早上7点,每天两个小时, [06:43.90]And in three months, I got a house. 三个月之后,我有了一座房子。 [06:46.40]And another friend who's the most clever in the class, he spent three months to build his house, too. 我的一个朋友,他是班上最聪明的学生,他也花了三个月盖起自己的房子, [06:54.24]But, he had to be in debt. He had to pay for his debt for 30 years. 但他不得不负债,要偿还债务30年, [06:58.87]So, compared to him, I have 29 years and 10 months of free time. 所以,和他相比,我多了29年10个月的自由时间。 [07:05.89]So, I feel that life is so easy. 所以,我觉得生活很简单。 [07:10.38]I never think I can build a house easy like that. 我从未想过这么容易地盖起一座房子。 [07:16.30]And I keep building a house every year, at least one house a very year. 于是我继续盖房子,每年至少盖一座。 [07:19.46]Now, I have no money, but I have many houses. 现在,我没有钱,但是我有很多房子。(笑声) [07:23.24]My problem is tonight which house I will go to sleep tonight. 我的烦恼就是每晚要在哪个房子里睡觉。(笑声) [07:28.78]So, a house is not a problem, anybody can build a house. 所以,盖栋房子不是问题,谁都能盖房子。 [07:34.86]The kids, 13 years old, at the school, they make bricks together, they make a house. 学校里13岁的孩子们,他们把砖块拼在一起,就有了一座房子。 [07:39.88]After one month, they have a library. 一个月之后,他们就有了一个图书馆。 [07:41.83]The kids can make a house, a very old nun can build a hut for herself. 孩子们可以盖房,老奶奶也可以给自己盖一个小棚屋。 [07:46.73]Many people can build a house. 很多人都可以盖房子。 [07:48.50]So, it's easy. 所以,这很简单。 [07:50.32]If you don't believe me, try it. 如果你不相信,自己去试试, [07:53.51]If somebody wants to have a house. 只要你想要把房子盖起来。 [07:55.45]And then, the next thing is clothing. 接下来的一件事是衣服。 [08:00.32]I feel like I'm poor, I feel like I'm not handsome. 我觉得自己很穷,长得也不帅气。 [08:04.47]I tried to dress like somebody else, like a movie star.

[09:47.29]I really worried in the beginning, because when I have no money, what I will do. 开始的时候我很担心,因为当时我没有钱,该怎么办? [09:52.00]But, I started to contemplate more. 但是,我开始更深入地思考, [09:55.59]Normally, sickness is a normal thing, it's not a bad thing. 生病很正常,并不是一件坏事。 [09:59.17]Sickness is something to remind us that we did something wrong in my life, that's why we get sick. 生病是在提醒我们,在生活中做错了某些事情,所以我们才会生病。 [10:04.80]So, when I get sick, I need to stop and come back to myself. 所以生病的时候,我需要停下来反省自己, [10:08.30]And think about it, what I did was wrong. 仔细考虑ziji哪里做错了。 [10:11.54]So, I learned how to use water to heal myself, how to use earth to heal myself, I learned how to use basic knowledge to heal myself. 所以我学会用水来治疗自己,用大自然资源来治疗自己,用一些最基础的知识治疗自己。 [10:21.58]So, now that I rely on myself in these four things, I feel like life is very easy, I feel something like freedom, I feel free. 所以,这四件事情,我全部自给自足,我觉得这很简单,我感觉到自由、轻松。 [10:31.76]I feel like I don't worry about anything much, I have less fear, I can do whatever I want in my life. 我觉得不需要为任何事情担心,我不再害怕,我可以做自己想做的事情。 [10:37.85]Before, I had a lot of fear, I cannot do anything. 早先我很害怕,很多事情不能做。 [10:42.81]But, now I feel very free, I feel like I'm a unique person on this Earth, nobody like me, I don't need to make myself like anybody else. 但是现在我很自由,感觉象是地球上独一无二的人,我再也不需要让自己去模仿任何人。 [10:50.24]I'm the number one. 唯我独尊。 [10:51.72]So, things like this make it easy, very light. 这么想,事情很简单、很轻松。 [10:54.79]And, after that, I started to think about that when I was in Bangkok, I felt very dark in my life. 之后,我开始思考,当我在曼谷的时候,我感觉生活一片黑暗, [11:05.88]I started to think that many people maybe thought like me at the time. 或许很多人和我的感觉一样。 [11:09.93]So, we started a place called "Pun Pun" in Chiang Mai.所以我们在清迈建立了个叫做「PunPun」的地方, [11:14.84]The main aim is just saving seed. 主要的目的是节约种子。 [11:18.67]To collect seed, because seed is food, food is life. 收集种子,因为种子就是食物,而食物就是生命。 [11:22.15]If there is no seed, no life. 没有种子,就没有生命; [11:24.87]No seed, no freedom. 没有种子,就没有自由; [11:26.28]No seed, no happiness. 没有种子,就没有幸福。 [11:27.78]Because your life depends on somebody else. Because you have no food. 没有食物,你的生命就要依赖其他人。 [11:31.70]So, it's very important to save seed. 所以,收集种子是非常重要的。 [11:35.11]That's why we focus on saving seed. 这就是为什么我们要收集种子。 [11:37.47]That's the main thing in Pun Pun. 这就是PunPun的目的。 [11:39.92]And the second thing is it is the learning center. 第二个行动是建立学习中心。 [11:43.53]We want to have a center for ourselves to learn, learn how to make life easy. 我们希望有一个可以学习的地方,学习如何让生活变得轻松。 [11:49.72]Because we were taught to make life complicated and hard all the time. 因为我们学习到的东西总是让我们的生活变得复杂、艰难。 [11:53.81]How can we make it easy? It's easy, but we don't know how to make it easy anymore. 我们怎么会让生活变得简单?其实生活一点都不难,但是我们已经不知道怎样让生活变得简单了, [12:02.50]Because we always make it complicated and now, we start to learn, and learn to be together. 因为我们总是把它搞得复杂,所以我们需要学习,学会协作。 [12:08.75]Because, we were taught to disconnect ourselves from everything else, to be independent, so we can rely on the money only. 因为我们学到的是把自己与周围一切隔断联系,完全独立,所以我们只能依赖金钱, [12:16.94]We don't need to rely on each other. 而不需要依赖其他人。 [12:18.48]But now, to be happy, we need to come back, to connect to ourselves again, to connect to other people, to connect our mind and body together again. 但是现在,为了幸福,我们必须回归自我,与他人保持联系,让我们的心灵与身体真正结合。 [12:27.27]So, we can be happy. Life is easy. 在一起,这样我们就能获得幸福,生活很简单。 [12:31.10]And from beginning until now, what I learned is the four basic needs: food, house, clothes and medicine must be cheap and easy for everybody, that's the civilization. 从开始到现在,我了解了四个基本需求:食物、住房、衣服和药物。它们必须足够便宜,可以让所有人方便获得,这才是文明。 [12:43.38]But, if you make these four things hard and very hard for many people to get, that's uncivilized. 但是如果你让人们很难得到这四样东西,就是不文明。 [12:50.63]So, now when we look at everywhere around us, everything is so hard to get. 那么我们看看身边的一切,每一样东西都很难得到。 [12:57.63]So I feel like now is the most uncivilized era of humans on this Earth. 所以我觉得现在是人类历史上最原始的时代。 [13:03.84]We have so many people who finish from university, have so many universities on the Earth, have so many clever people on this Earth. But, life is harder and harder. 有那么多的人从大学毕业,世界上有那么多大学,有那么多充满智慧的人,但是生活却越来越艰难。 [13:17.94]We make it hard for whom? We work hard for whom right now? 这究竟是为了谁?我们现在努力工作是为了谁? [13:23.47]I feel like it's wrong, it's not normal. 我觉得一切都错了,这不正常。 [13:28.98]So, I just want to come back to normal. 所以我只想让一切恢复正常。 [13:31.11]To be a normal person, to be equal to animals. 变成一个正常的人,和动物一样, [13:35.69]The birds make a nest in one or two days. 鸟儿用一两天筑成一个窝, [13:39.64]The rats dig a hole in one night. 老鼠一个晚上就可以挖个洞。 [13:42.43]But, the clever humans like us spend 30 years to have a house, and many people can't believe that they can have a house in this life. 但是,像我们一样的聪明人,要花30年才能有一间房子,还有很多人不敢奢望这辈子能有一间房子, [13:53.81]So, that's wrong. 因此,这是错的。 [13:55.93]Why we destroy our spirit, why do we destroy our ability that much? 为什么我们要摧毁自己的力量、破坏自己的能力? [14:01.65]So, I feel like it's enough for me, to live in the normal way, in the abnormal way. 我觉得自己受够了不正常的生活方式, [14:11.24]So, now I try to be normal. 现在,我要回归正常, [14:13.79]But, people look at me as the abnormal people. 但是人们都觉得我不是个正常人。(笑声) [14:17.40]A crazy people. 把我当作一个疯子, [14:18.66]But, I don't care, because it's not my fault. 但是我并不在意,因为这不是我的错, [14:22.25]It's their fault, because they think like that. 他们要这样想,是他们的错。 [14:26.10]So, my life is easy and light now. That's enough for me. 我现在的生活简单又轻松,我很满足。 [14:33.10]People can think whatever they want. 人们爱怎样想都可以。 [14:35.40]I cannot manage anything outside myself. 我只能控制我自己, [14:38.19]What I can do is change my mind, manage my mind. 我能做的就是改变和控制自己的想法。 [14:42.68]Now, my mind is light and easy, that's enough. 现在,我的思想简单又轻松,我很满足。 [14:46.52]If anybody wants to have a choice, you can have a choice. 假如任何人想有一个选择,他们都可以做出选择, [14:50.81]The choice to be easy or to be hard, it depends on you. 选择轻松还是困难,完全取决于你自己。 [14:54.61]Thank you. 谢谢。(掌声)
