【Cultivation of our mind 修心】How to change current situations? 如何改变现状？

【Cultivation of our mind 】- How to change current situations?

Usually, our minds have latent behaviors that are not easy to change. This is called inertia. Changing this state requires a force. In physics, you can push or pull, but what does our mental force rely on? It relies upon contemplation. Once you have contemplated, you will say: there are great benefits in doing so, there are great disadvantages if this is not done. And you will change. Actually, this concept is easy to understand. We are here feeling good, and don’t feel like moving. If you discover that this place is unsafe and dangerous, that force will push you to move. Or, if there is some special advantage somewhere, you want to go there, that force will pull you. This is the same idea here: upon contemplation, it will pull you to hear the teachings.

修心 ：如何改变现状？

平常我们的心情就这样，你要改变那个现状不太容易，这个叫作惰性。改变这个现状一定要有一种力量，物理上的东西你把它推、是拉，那么我们心理上的力量靠什么?就是靠思惟。等到你思惟了说：这样做有大好处，不这样做有大害处，你会改变你。其实这个道理我们很容易了解，我们在这里满好的，就不想动，如果说，你发现这个地方很不安、又危险，那个力量推着你，把你推走。或者说，哪里有一个什么特别的好处，你想去，那个力量拉着你去。那么现在这里也是如此，思惟了这个以后啊，它会拉着你去听闻这个佛法。
