【忍辱 Patience】 学佛的第一步 The first step to learning Buddhism

忍辱 ： 学佛的第一步

我们已经找到了，处处地方总是在自己内心上面：对，没错！如果说你碰到这种地方说，你责怪别人的话，你第一步已经走错了，下面根本完全不谈，这个是它的一个根本问题。所以他前面比喻，一方面是告诉我们修忍辱是这样修，一方面也特别地这个方向已经很明白指出来啦！很明白指出来了，就是在我们自己的内心上面下功夫，这个叫作内明。

Patience – The first step to learning Buddhism

We have already found this. At all times, you should always look to your mind, “Yes, it is unmistaken!” If you come across something like this, and you blame others, your first step is already wrong. There is no need to talk about the subsequent steps following this. This is a fundamental problem. That is why he gave an example before this, that on the one hand it is to tell us how to train in patience. On the other hand, the direction has been clearly pointed out! It has been clearly pointed out, it is to work on our own minds, this is called internal illumination.
