【Remembering the Teacher’s Kindness】- Mental condition becoming extremely favorable and sharply available.  

Otherwise, if you can properly understand what this treatise is telling us, and are able to progress profoundly one step at a time, there will be enough to benefit us - the benefit s boundless!

So, at the present time, constantly remember this! The primary allocation of time should be applied here. Do not merely listen and, upon hearing, close the text. This effect will not be great. If, after you listened, wait for a short while, it does not have to be immediate, after ten minutes or half an hour, then read it once again. The impression will be enhanced. If you can be well prepared by reading ahead, even without understanding it, by the time you listen to the teachings, it will make a great difference. If, after listening, you review it again, then the effects will be very great, much greater! By then, you will definitely have very visible progress. Regardless of whether you are chanting Buddha’s name, doing Zen meditation, or studying the tenets that you are learning, the effects will be completely different. This is due to your mental condition becoming extremely favorable and sharply available.

念恩 : 心智变利的方法

就是眼前你能够把本论告诉我们的内容正确地了解，能够一步一步深入的话，已经足够我们受用，而且受用不尽哪！

所以目前平常的时候，记住！把主要的时间应该摆在这个上头，不要单单听，听完了以后书本一合，效果往往不大。如果你听完了以后，事情再过了一下，不是说马上就看，过了十分钟，等过了半个钟头，再看一次，印象就深。如果你事前能够好好地念、看，尽管不懂，可是一听的话，那时候境界又很不一样。听过了再温习一下，那个效果就非常大、非常大！到了那个时候，你会有绝不一样的这个进度。你同样地去念佛，同样地参禅，同样地学教，这个效果就完全不一样，因为你的心智那时候就变得非常利了，变得非常利了。
