希求解脱 : 修行要慢慢调整

所以这一点地方,所以从这地方我们要注意,这个不是说一下叫我们改过来。所以这个后面就告诉我们,我们做任何事情,就是这样:它开头的时候,哇!起伏很大;然后呢你晓得了,慢慢、慢慢、慢慢、慢慢、慢慢,它必然地调得这样子相。只要你自己感觉到,慢慢地,欸,在对了;然后呢,你缘着你做的这个方式,这样进,还是急不来的喔!这就是真实的进步,真实的进步必然如此的,这我们要了解,这我们要了解。然后到了这个时候的话,你随时观察坏的方面,策励自己。然后呢,策励自己觉得很紧了,然后呢观察好的方面呢,庆幸,啊,又放宽了,高兴。就这样地不断地在调,它慢慢地一步一步、一步一步。

【Intent of Liberation】- Cultivation has to be adjusted slowly  

Therefore, at this point, we need to take note here.  This is not asking us to change ourselves right away.  Thus it tells us in the later section that for anything that we do, this is how it is.  In the beginning, there will be lots of ups and downs.  Then once you come to understand it more, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, you will be able to discipline yourself to have the specific subjective aspect. As long as you yourself are able to feel this, slowly, you will then get on the right track. Then you continue with the way you have been practicing.  Even when you progress, you still cannot become anxious!  This is what we call a real improvement. A real improvement must be done this way. This is what we should understand, what we should understand. Then once you get to this point, you will at all times observe what you have done wrong and exhort yourself. If you have been too strict with disciplining yourself, then you observe the good points of yourself. You will then feel fortunate and have given yourself more space. You will then become happy. So you will be adjusting constantly as such and gradually taking one step at a time, one step at a time.
