【Listening 听闻】Analyze with discerning wisdom 以观察慧而正思维

【LISTENING】– Analyze with discerning wisdom

The author told us to apply the practice it is very interesting! He did not tell us: you need to hurry up to prostrate to Buddha, neither did he tell you to quickly chant Buddha’s name, nor rush you into Zen meditation. What did he tell us to do? “Analyze with discerning wisdom.” This is what we really need to do now. What does this “analyze with discerning wisdom” mean? The reason that we are ordinary beings is due to ignorance and wrong views. The only remedy that we have to counter it is wisdom – the wisdom arises from listening, wisdom arises from reflection, and wisdom arises from meditation. Listening begins with the excellent teacher. The accurate instructions are obtained from the excellent teacher – which is from an external source. Once you have listened with understanding, what would your first step be? It is reflection. This reflection is to continuously analyze the concepts understand it from hearing – well, is this right? Is this wrong? What is this about? What should be analyzed? Analyze [your] mental attitude. This task is extremely important – thus, it is known as “inner study” (内明), the so-called mind training.

听闻 ： 以观察慧而正思维

他这个地方叫我们修行啊，有意思！他不是说叫我们：你赶快去拜佛，赶快叫你念佛，赶快你去参禅打坐。他叫我们干什么？“观察慧而正思惟”，这是我们眼前真正应该做到的。这观察慧跟正思惟是什么意思？我们凡夫之所以为凡夫的话——愚痴、邪见，我们要想破除它的唯一的正对治是智慧，智慧，说闻、思、修慧。闻是从善知识那里开始的，然后从善知识得到你正确的教授，这是从外面来的。你听懂了以后，你开始的第一步什么？就是思惟。那个思惟，就是不断地把听懂的道理观察，欸，这个对不对？这个错不错？这个是什么一回事情？要观察的什么？要观察自己的心行相，这个是非常重要的一件事情，所以它叫“内明”。
