【The Meditation Session – Actual Session - how to sustain meditation in general 】- What is required before meditation?

Once these are asserted, there is more to it!

【Then, strengthen your will by repeatedly thinking, “I will not set up something that is different from what I have determined.” 】

By the time there is clear and precise understanding then it is the time for application. Before it, what is required? The aspiration to “strengthen your will.” Why is this required? Often, when we encounter any tiny bit of adversity, we waver. With this strong will, under any circumstance, wavering will not happen, that is when you are engaged. So now we easily say that we need to go in depth into one entrance [of the teaching]. Is it truly in-depth into one entrance? That would be exactly what we want. As for our present state, generally there is this situation – spinning idly outside the entrance, unable to find the entrance, unable to find where the door is, and yet we are spinning with great excitement. This is one situation.

修持轨理 正行 - 总共修法 : 修的之前要什么？

这个决定好了以后，下面还有文章哦！

【次应发起猛利誓愿，谓如所定，不令修余。】

那个时候了解，清清楚楚、明明白白，那个时候要修了。修的之前还要什么？发一个“猛利誓愿”。说为什么要这个？平常我们碰见一点小事情动摇了，要有了这个猛利誓愿，在任何情况之下决不动摇，那个时候才是。所以我们现在一开口就说我们一门深入，真的一门深入了吗？那求之不得。现在我们普通的状态，一种状态——门外空转，不得其门而入，门在哪里不知道，自己在那儿跑得很起劲，一种。
