【The Meditation Session - Preparation】- refuting misconceptions

【1. The actual way of sustaining the meditation 2. Refuting misconceptions about meditation 】

First is to clarify the actual method of sustaining the meditation. Second, as for various misconceptions, they have to be refuted, this is very important. If the misconceptions are not removed, your advancement is impossible. For instance, it is the same with our cooking now. With cooking, either rice or vegetables, if you don’t clean the dirt and the pesticides off before hand, sorry! Taking food this way will kill you. This applies to anything [we] do – it is the same for our meditation now. There are many erroneous concepts blocking us, after much effort, alas! No advancement. In fact, not having advancement may be a fortunate thing. Actually, your [erroneous] advancement leads to downfall because it is erroneous practice! Just like this above example, without removing the pesticides or soil from your food, leaving it there without cooking it may be fine, but once you cook it as is and eat it, even if it doesn’t kill you, you will at least become seriously ill. Therefore, the next chapter on refuting misconceptions is very important!

修持轨理-加行 : 破除此中邪妄分别

【（一） 正明修法，（二）破除此中邪妄分别。】

第一个呢，先正明修的方法，第二个，有很多错误的，这个错误的一定要拿掉，这个非常重要，那个错误的不拿掉，你弄不上去的。譬如我们现在烧饭也是一样，烧菜也是一样，你泥巴、毒药，你不拿掉去烧的话，对不起！这个吃下去把你吃死的。做任何事情都是如此，修行我们现在也是一样，太多的这种错误的概念梗在那个地方，弄了个半天，哎呀！不得进步。真的说起来，不得进步是大幸，实际上你进步了——堕落，因为是错的嘛！就像刚才说的那个比喻当中，你那个菜，农药没拿掉，泥巴没拿掉，不烧摆在那里还好，烧好了吃下去的话，不死也得大病一场。所以他下面这个破除邪执非常重要的!
