【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- Acting vigilantly

If you truly want to apply the teaching, then you will be grateful for all the rules that were set. I did not set these rules – the Buddha and Bodhisattvas set them. I also received the teachings from my virtuous Teachers… back then, I often had chores, he would always asked, “Well, what are you doing? How long will you be gone?” Well! In my mind, then, because of this, I dared not to randomly ask [to go anywhere]. Even now I still continue to benefit from this rigorous training indefinitely. So get it into a habit, then it will gradually become better. So my teacher told me then, “Now you may feel that it’s too strict, but there will be a time when you wish it could be stricter but regrettably, you won’t have that. You will then feel remorseful, but it will be too late.” I will also apply this similar attitude towards everyone now. I do not know what you are thinking in your minds, but in my mind, this is the best that I can offer you. And I am very delighted about it. You could say that it is a combination of feeling sorrow and joy, in protecting you, guarding you! I am very sincere about this [responsibility of mine] here. So, I want to specifically explain: for the ones coming here to merely provide lip service, [you] are not welcome here!

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 正知而行-于彼行正知

假如你们真的愿意修行的话，你们到那时候会感激立下的规矩，这规矩不是我立的，佛菩萨立的。我也得到我的善知识……当年我总是有点事情，他一定问的:“欸，你去干什么？去多少时候啊？”唉！我心里面，所以啊，因为这样的关系，我也不敢随便开口，现在一直觉得受用不尽。慢慢、慢慢地约束你的，你养成习惯了以后慢慢就好了。所以当年我的老师告诉我：“现在有的时候你觉得太严啊，到时你要求严找不到，你懊悔来不及。”我眼前我也是这样对大家，你们心里究竟怎么想，我也不知道，我这是凭我心里想，我能最好的给你们的就是这些。我还是非常欢喜，可以说悲欣交集的那种心情哪，防着你们，防着你们！就很认真地在这个地方。所以我特别说明，跑到这地方来只说说空话的话，不欢迎!
