【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Once this yearning arises from the depths of your heart, decisively take up the pure vow of the engaged spirit of enlightenment

【Once this yearning arises from the depths of your heart, decisively take up the pure vow of the engaged spirit of enlightenment. 】

These steps are very clear; so for every aspect there is a next one, one after another, and another. By then, after you have gone through this practice sequentially, you will mindfully feel: well, now is the time to study this certain practice. This study here does not mean that we sit here and listen to the concept or talk about the perception. By then, when others come to request something from you, “Well, certainly! I will give it to him right away.” Although there may be some resistance within you, “Well, no, no, no I have to give to him!” That is how the practice goes. And then when others scold you, “Well, I will apply patience.” When facing challenge, “I will abide by ethical discipline.” This is the situation. If this place is not to your taste, “Right, ethical discipline teaches me that I have to practice forbearance.” And this is when you are truly cultivating; it is not just following the words literally. So “yearning arises from the depths of your heart.” What should be done at that time? “Decisively take up the pure vow of the engaged spirit of enlightenment,” to take the Bodhisattva vows! This is the actual action of taking up the vow of the Bodhisattva deeds!

道次引导 : 至心起欲学已，定受行心清净律仪

【若由至心起欲学已，定受行心清净律仪。】

这个次第很清楚，所以每个地方有个次、次、次。那个时候你经过了这个学习，一心一意觉得：哎呀，现在要学这个了。这个地方学，不是我们坐在这个地方听这个道理，讲那个道理。那个时候学的话，碰见那个境界人家来要你，“欸，没错！我马上东西送给他。”心里有一点舍不得，“欸，不、不、不，我要送给他！”这样。然后呢人家来骂你，“啊，我修忍辱。”碰见境界上面的话，“我就持戒。”就是这种情况。这个地方不配你胃口的，“对，这个戒上面告诉我们，我要忍受。”然后呢，你这个时候叫真正学的时候，它这个学不是文字上头的。所以“至心欲学已”，那个时候干什么呢？“定受行心清净律仪”，受菩萨戒！这个时候才真的受菩萨戒哦！
