| [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. |
| [00:52.22] | 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. |
