【LISTENING】 –  What do you depend on to transform listening?

At the moment of hearing we are very pleased and listen with great joy. Once the book is closed, [everything you read] returns to the book again, it goes back into the book again. [Nowadays] it is easier because of the [replay device], so [we] can listen to it again. After you listening to it, [the concept] hasn’t transformed yet. Later, [the text] will teach us how to transform, which is very important! This transformation process comes from contemplation. Thus, this time I mention it specifically: the reason to have rigorous requirement is [to help us transform]. If you just want to listen [without application], there will be other opportunities later - for those who are not ready, there is no need to listen to this yet, [this advice] is very sincere. I will continue to teach, [if you] are unprepared then be prepared before coming back; by that time, great benefits will arise. [I] always wish that, after hearing the teaching this time, everyone can transform accordingly. In order to transform, we have to adjust our entire lifestyle to match [the path of transformation]. This is one of the reasons. When that time comes, you will be able to transcend and practice accordingly; otherwise we will never do so! Actually, the three steps are: hearing, contemplation, and meditation. As for “transformation,” the key is contemplation.

听闻 ： 听闻靠什么随转？

听的时候满欢喜，书本一合，又还到书本上去了，又还到书本上去。现在比较好一点还有这个，说：啊！没有关系，再听一遍，你听完了以后，还在那个里头，没转过来！下面会告诉我们怎么转，这个非常重要的！这个转哪就在思惟。所以我这次特别讲，这一次我之所以要求大家很严的原因就是这样，如果你们单单听听的话，慢慢地别的有的是机会，还没有准备好的，先不必听这个，的的确确。然后我会继续不断地在这个地方讲下去，还没准备好了，先准备好了再来听，那时有大好处。

总是希望这次听了以后，大家能够跟着转，那么要想转的话，就是整个的我们生活必须要配合，这个是它的一个原因之一。那时候你能够转了，就可以照着去修，否则我们谈不到修！实际上这三个次第就是——闻、思、修。这个"随转"，就是真正关键就在思惟。
