1
00:00:00.064 --> 00:00:02.800
So I would say there are these
three attributes of nonviolence:

2
00:00:02.801 --> 00:00:05.351
first, to be nonviolent to yourself

3
00:00:05.376 --> 00:00:08.385
and that means just
look deeply within.

4
00:00:08.410 --> 00:00:10.308
Why do I feel so violent ?

5
00:00:10.332 --> 00:00:13.395
Why do I beat myself up
and put myself down ?

6
00:00:13.420 --> 00:00:15.708
Well, you've been trained to be violent.

7
00:00:15.879 --> 00:00:17.863
And we have to continue to,

8
00:00:17.888 --> 00:00:21.120
if you will, not cooperate
with our own inner violence

9
00:00:21.381 --> 00:00:24.101
and cultivate what I call
interior nonviolence

10
00:00:24.126 --> 00:00:26.838
or create a space of peace
within ourself.

11
00:00:26.863 --> 00:00:31.987
This of course is the classic
Buddhist tradition of mindful living,

12
00:00:32.012 --> 00:00:35.554
compassionate living,
concentrating on our breath.

13
00:00:35.595 --> 00:00:37.162
But all of us have to do that work

14
00:00:37.187 --> 00:00:39.784
especially if you're gonna be
out on the streets marching

15
00:00:39.809 --> 00:00:43.357
holding up a sign because the
cops are going to come along

16
00:00:43.358 --> 00:00:46.155
and somebody is going to have a gun
and it's going to push your buttons

17
00:00:46.180 --> 00:00:48.268
and trigger the violence within you

18
00:00:48.293 --> 00:00:49.199
that maybe was
something that happened

19
00:00:49.224 --> 00:00:50.506
when you were five years old.

20
00:00:50.531 --> 00:00:52.422
Or you can start fighting back

21
00:00:52.803 --> 00:00:54.880
just because of the violence
in your youth.

22
00:00:54.905 --> 00:00:58.988
You're not consciously
attentive to being nonviolent.
