Word puzzles on "Lighting Up the Incense of Our Hearts"

Subtitle Volunteering

Dear Friends,

I have at least five word puzzles left on Lighting Up the Incense of Our Hearts: The Metamorphosis of Fear into Love | Dr. Larry Ward.

Can anyone hear what I could not? I’ve bookmarked the unknown word times in the Notes section.

Thank you,
–Matthew

Hello dear Matthew!

I’m very happy to hear from you. I hope you are well and happy, and that life has been kind to you since we were last in touch :hibiscus:

I’ve been trying to locate the “note” section in the link you sent, having already looked at the “Video Info”, “Activity”, and “URLs”, and having already looked through the subtitles (looks like they’re only 5 words away from “done” for sure). But I couldn’t see where the “note” was.

Would you mind sending me the screenshot showing where it is?

Thank you very much for keeping in touch!
I look forward to hearing from you,
:tulip: :herb: :pray:

Dear Tuyen,

Thank you for your response. Things are good here. I hope that all is well with you also.

I made the assumption that the notes section would be visible to everyone, but perhaps each person has different notes!

Please see the note section on the right hand side of this picture:

Hi Matthew,

My sincere apologies for the delay in my response, I’ve been caught up in a few things in the community that need my attention the past few days.

I’ve listened to where the words puzzles are for at least a few times, and below are my guesses:

21:09 “Both are…”
I have a feeling this is an unfinished sentence with the unsaid part well-understood based on the part leading up to this part, i.e. “the two difficulties in healing and transforming ourselves” that Dr. Larry was talking about. So if “Both are…” is to be said in full, it might be “Both [views and habit energies] are [Buddhist technical terms].” Please feel free to correct me here :thinking:

38:53 " 'cause when it hits the shore, the part of the grandmother in me says, 'It’s all over but the shouting."

54:27 “Let me put these away.”
I believe Dr. Larry said this as he was moving his pair of eyeglasses from the one hand he was using to “draw” in the air the depth of what he was saying – to the other, free hand of his.

54:49 “and… ya know”
The five skandhas are (1) body, (2) feelings, (3) perceptions, (4) mental formations, and (5) consciousness. The (2), (3), (4), and (5) are the mind. So, I guess Dr. Larry said “The five skandhas, body, mind, and… ya know”.

1:02:33 “When I first started doing this, giant fear just like… oohhhh… really puffed. It puffed like movies.”

These are my best guesses. Let me know what you think :innocent: I hope it helps!

Thank you very much, dear Matthew
