【The Meditation Session – what to do in between sessions 】- What taught by Buddha is the source

【I have arranged both this section on acting vigilantly and the section on restraining the sensory faculties in accordance with the noble being Asanga’s citations of sutras and the subsequent commentaries on the meaning of those citations. 】

With the above, these two [acting vigilantly and restraining sensory faculties] are the explanations that Asanga Bodhisattva quoted from sutras. All these sincere sages, their words are all from a reliable source. What is the source? It has to be taught by Buddha. These sages took the essence and principles from Buddha and explained them further to clearly expound accordingly. So, when we talk about the sign of Dharma characteristics, once you understand this section, then the recognition of the wonder of the sign of Dharma characteristics will arise! Dharma characteristics are so wonderful! Actually, this is required for our study of the Dharma, especially in the beginning. It reveals every detail to you clearly, yet now we often feel: alas, you just don’t need to discern and that is it! Thus, if one is not discerning, then what is one in the midst of? One will be in the midst of being dull-witted, very unfortunate! Very pathetic!

修持轨理 - 未修中间 : 佛说为根据

【此与密护根门二者，如圣无着引经解释而正录取。】

上面这个东西，这两样东西就是无着菩萨引经解释。凡是这种真正的圣者，他说话一定有他的根据。根据是什么？一定是佛说的。他只是把那佛说的这个精要、原则，如理地更明白地阐扬开来。所以说法相，你们了解了这个地方，才晓得法相之美啊！法相之好啊！实在我们修学佛法不能少的，尤其是刚开始。每一个地方告诉你清清楚楚，我们现在总是觉得：哎呀，你不要分别嘛就算了！然后呢不分别在什么当中啊？就在这个痴相当中，好可惜！好可怜！
