【A summary of the meaning of the previous five parts】
【When you practice a teaching from the heart, you must rely for a long time on an excellent teacher who guides you accurately. 】
We should now take some time to ask ourselves this, do I do this? Do I do what? "You practice a teaching from the heart." Do you truly wish to walk on the path of cultivation? There are many people now who would say, "I do really wish to cultivate, I really wish to recite the Buddha's name." It doesn't matter which teaching method you are practicing, you should examine to see whether you truly wish to do this from the depth of your heart. If you wish to do it, then you must practice this "for a long time." For a long time means you must persist without any break in your practice. "Rely," what do you rely on? The most excellent teacher. The most excellent teacher will certainly be able to guide you without any errors. This is essential. This is essential.
