But when it comes down to it, you still refuse to do the right thing. That's what Buddhism calls stupidity. In Buddhism, we calls the three poisons refers to the stupidity that reasonable people have and insist on hanging on to it. So what is the problem in what is the definition of stupidity in Buddhism? That the definition of stupidity, stupidity in Buddhism is that someone who knowingly knows that it's wrong but intentionally does it anyway. It's not born. Okay. It's like you can listen to reason but when when when you afflicted you are doing we do stupid things regardless. Okay. When you know you fully know that it's wrong for you to do it you still do it. That is stupidity in Buddhism. We Buddhist do not blame you for being stupid or you born stupid. There's nothing wrong with that. Okay. That's the way it is. But after you learn Buddhism and you learn about right and wrong and you still do it knowing fully it's the wrong thing to do, that is called stupidity. So for example, I would separate stupid people in Buddhism versus for example mentally people. They're not able to understand. Therefore, we can't blame them. We have to help them. Whereas the stupid Buddhist disciples or learners are the ones who can understand, can listen to reason and yet they refuse to do the right things. That is stupidity. It's everything goes back to blessings. You're right. If you're suffering, don't tell me like the the the many Buddhist disciples are taught. I'm suffering because it's my karma baloney. Okay? If you have hear anyone telling you, you know, I'm suffering. I'm—I'm—I'm—I'm sick because of my karma. Therefore, I must live like that. That is a stupid thing to say. You're suffering because you do not have enough blessings. Very simple example. you're suffering like hunger is because you cannot afford to buy something to fill up your stomach. If you lack money, money is a manifestation of your blessings. In Buddhism, fundamentally, you're suffering because you don't have enough blessings. That's why you do stupid things and when especially when you are you do stupid things and we teach you is stupid you refuse to listen because you don't have enough blessings to stop your stupidity. We all make mistakes in Buddhism. We're not asking for perfection. You should know better. It's okay to make mistakes, but when someone points it out to you, you should know better. You just say, "Oh, it makes sense you inside, but then you still do the wrong things." That is stupid. A to a to a me to
