【Refuting Misconceptions About Meditation】- study and practice are not related? Incorrect.

【This completely destroys the process of developing the three wisdoms in succession, which is what the scriptures, as a whole, present. This also implies the nonsensical statement, “Much study is not needed to travel the true path.” 】

Other than the above, with the aforementioned saying of study and practice of meditation, that they are two separate matters. Not only is this totally absurd, but it has a great flaw, which is very serious. Because of this misconception, thus, what is the complete order of Buddha Dharma, the skillful method of instruction, which says? It must be the sequence of study, reflect, and practice of meditation. Now, he [the practitioner with the misconception] actually states that study and reflection are unrelated to meditation, isn’t he damaging the complete systematic order of these three steps? Thus, “this completely destroys the process of developing the three wisdoms in succession, which is what the scriptures, as a whole, present.” The “whole” within the “as a whole, present” has a special meaning, the overall outline has the most complete content. The cause for our present situation, the fragmentation of Buddha Dharma, is that [the systematic order] has been damaged, it is broken. So, nowadays meditators claim that they do not need study and reflection, whereas those who practice study and reflection do not think there is a need to meditate, just like that. Next, it says “process of developing.” What is developing? Whether you truly are concordant [to the Dharma] or not, it has to proceed in this manner. Otherwise, it would be impossible. Therefore, in this situation, the above erroneous views ridiculously state: “much study is not needed to travel the true path.” This is totally mistaken, completely wrong!

破除此中邪妄分别: 讲与修不相关？错

【亦是善破诸圣言中，诸总建立三慧次第生起之理，则其乱说[趣无错道，不须多闻]亦成善说。】

除了上面说，像上面这种讲法，讲是讲、修是修，两件事情毫不相关的话，这个根本莫名其妙以外，还有一个大毛病，这个是非常严重的。因为他这样说，所以把佛法完整的次第，善巧的说法，说这个是什么？一定是闻、思、修这个次第。现在他居然说闻、思跟修不相关，那岂不是把那个完整的三个次第被他破坏了吗？所以说[善破诸圣言中]，建立这个三慧次第。[总建立]的那个[总]字有特别意义哟—整个的大纲，这个是最完整的。现在我们所以目前这种状态，佛法支离破碎，就是那个东西破坏了，就是那个东西破坏了。所以现在讲修的人啊，是不要闻思的，然后闻思的人哪，也不要修的，都是这个。下面说[生起次第]，什么叫生起？就是你真实地相应与否，一定要这样来的，如果说你不照这个次第的话，那不可能。所以在这种状态当中，上面这种乱说，莫名其妙的乱说，[不须多闻，亦成善说]，这个就完全错了，完全错了！
