【皈依 Taking refuge 】广告作用 Effect of advertisements
皈依 ：广告作用
我们目前凡夫之所以为凡夫的原因是为什么？因为这个心识的本相就是杂染，它就是跑到哪里，像猴子一样，跑到哪里，就呯，抓到哪里，跑到哪里就抓到哪里。你碰见什么环境，看见什么东西，心就跟它相应，这样。而且这个不是由于你能够作得了主的，这个概念我们要清楚。我随便举个例子，比如说广告，啊！这个做广告的时候，中间，广告商一定买一个节目，这个节目的内容很美，然后呢中间插一个广告进来，等到插到这个广告，你心里就讨厌它，所以在你理智上面你排斥它。妙咧！正因为你有一个排斥的概念，那个广告的概念就落在你脑筋里，哪一天你想到那件事情，你就会想到：欸，有这么一件事情，对不对？所以你不要以为你有力量去排斥哦，不管什么，你只要一看它，落在你影子，将来就会发生功效，你将来就会被它牵着走，这非常重要。所以修学的环境对刚开始的人，是绝端重要。所以为什么我们讲善知识、善知识，善知识不单单只是上面带我们的，这是共同相处的，这个叫「近朱者赤，近墨者黑」。

【Taking refuge】- Effect of advertisements
What is the reason why we are currently ordinary beings? That is because the subjective aspects of our consciousness are tainted. Wherever the conscious mind goes, it acts like a monkey; wherever it goes, it grasps. Wherever it goes, it grasps. Whatever environment you are in, as soon as you see something, your mind will be in concordance with that, just like this. And, this is not something you have control over. This is a concept we should be clear with. Let me give you an example. For example, let us say a commercial. Ah! When there is a commercial, in the middle of a program, the vendors will for sure buy a time slot during the program. The content of the program may be very beautiful, and then all of a sudden, it breaks for a commercial midway. When it breaks for this commercial, you will find it annoying. Therefore, you reject it on the basis of your rational thinking. [But this is the] interesting thing! It is precisely due to this concept of rejection that the idea of the commercial is now planted in your mind. Then the next time when something comes up [relating to the topic of the commercial], you will remember that “Ah, there is such thing.” Is that not true? So, do not think you have the ability to actually reject it. It does not matter what. As soon as you see it, the shadow of it is implanted and in future it will develop into an effect. In the future, you will be led by it. This is very important. Therefore, a learning environment for people who first begin to cultivate is extremely important. This is why we keep talking about the excellent teacher, the excellent teacher. The excellent teacher is not just the superiors who teach us, but the people we associate with. [There is a Chinese saying,] “Proximity to cinnabar causes one to be stained red; proximity to ink causes one to be stained black.” [it means different environments provide different influence]
