[00:03.55]Don't you see we have something here?
[00:06.23]Which I will call not philosophy,
[00:08.96]except in the most ancient sense
[00:11.44]of basic curiosity.
[00:16.48]Never remember
[00:23.61]Your birthday,
[00:27.40]or anything you like.
[00:32.43]Sorry, so helpless,
[00:39.78]so help you,
[00:43.82]anyway you'd like.
[00:48.36]Take your medicine.
[00:50.29]Take your medicine.

[00:54.27]Take your medicine.
[00:56.26]Take your medicine.
[00:58.25]Take your medicine.
[01:00.24]Take your medicine.
[01:04.53]The following of them does not depend on believing in anything, in obeying anything, or on doing any specific rituals
[01:12.63](although rituals are included for certain purposes because it is a purely experimental approach to life).
[01:20.66]Never remember,
[01:27.32]Your birthday,
[01:31.47]or anything you like.
[01:35.81]Sorry, so helpless,
[01:43.41]So help you,
[01:47.08]anyway you'd like.
[01:51.99]Take your medicine.

[02:09.10]This is something like a person who has defective eyesight and is seeing
[02:13.58]spots and all sorts of illusions, and goes to an ophthalmologist to correct his vision.
[02:20.79]Buddhism is, therefore, a corrective of psychic vision.
[03:01.46]It is to be dis-enthralled by the game of Maya.
[03:11.35]It is not, incidentally, to regard the Maya as something evil,
[03:15.52]but to regard it as a good thing of which one can have too much, and therefore one gets
[03:21.74]psychic and spiritual indigestion-from which we all suffer.
[03:25.20]When I was a small boy I used to haunt that section of London
[03:26.82]around the British Museum, and one day I came across a shop
[03:32.86]that had a notice over the window which said: "Philosophical Instruments."
[03:33.42]Now even as a boy I knew something about philosophy
[03:38.69]but I could not imagine what philosophical instruments might be.
[03:42.99]So I went up to the window and there displayed
[03:50.64]Were chronometers, slide rules, scales,
[03:51.57]and all kinds of what we would now call scientific instruments.
[03:52.87]Because science used to be called natural philosophy.
[03:56.61]Because, as Aristotle says,
[03:59.40]the beginning of philosophy is wonder.
[04:01.89]Philosophy is man's expression of curiosity about everything,
[04:06.31]his attempt to make sense of the world,
[04:09.18]primarily through his intellect;
[04:11.48]That is to say his faculty for thinking.
