【 How to rely in practice 】- As long as you are willing to follow the excellent teacher
The virtuous teacher must be endowed with certain qualifications, and then you can rely on him. And, for those qualified virtuous teachers, when [they] perfected [they] are Buddha. Of course! Buddha’s wish is for you to achieve Buddhahood, so you, of course, will mindfully want to rely on him. Furthermore, Buddha will completely and flawlessly reveal to you how to achieve Buddhahood. Therefore, in this circumstance, as long as you are willing to rely on him, achievement is certain! Especially for us, our arising thoughts are only at the level of an ordinary being, whatever self-centeredness we do for ourselves ends up being harmful. Hence, the only approach is to listen to the personal instructions from virtuous teachers. But if you are careless and not mindful, alas, this "me" will become dominant again. Therefore, if you do not strive diligently, it will never work! This is why the text told us to "strive" at it. In other words, you must work hard at it. This reliance on virtuous teachers is not a matter of ambiguity. It is not like, well, I spare some time to pay the virtuous teacher a visit and serve him a little bit! It is not just like that. In the beginning, yes, we cannot expect to achieve it in one breath. It would be impossible to reach the sky in a single bound. Thus, we progress gradually. By the time we reach the profound stage, one will focus the entire attention on understanding what the requirements of the virtuous teachers are, what their aspirations are, this is how it works.

加行亲近轨理 : 你只要肯跟他
而这种有条件的善知识，他圆满的是佛。当然！佛的希望——希望你成佛，所以你当然会从发自内心地愿意跟他。其次，佛所了解的，也彻底地一点不错地告诉你怎么成佛，所以在这种状态之下，你只要肯跟他，一定行！尤其是我们现在起心动念，都是凡夫，为了我结果是害了我，所以唯一的办法，你只有听从善知识的教诫。但是如果是你马马虎虎，一个不小心，欸，这个“我”又冒出来了，所以如果说你不精进的话，不行！这是为什么要告诉我们应“励”，换句话说，努力地。这个亲近善知识不是含含糊糊的，不是说我们现在，哎哟，我把时间省出来一部分，给善知识跑得去，侍候他一点点哪！不仅仅是如此。刚开始是的，刚开始我们不是一口气就可以达到最圆满的，一步登天不可能，那么我们慢慢地学习。真正到深的时候，他会全部精神注意、了解善知识要什么，善知识希望的什么，就这样。
