【Refuting Misconceptions About Meditation】- Meditation is Practice, Practice, Practice

【While mere familiarization with knowledge acquired through the wisdom of study and reflection is indeed not a good quality that results from meditation, how could this contradict familiarization as simply being equivalent to meditation?】

Hence, we need to recognize that, regarding study and reflection, these two tasks, they are nothing but familiarization. Thus, study and reflection require continuous practice, practice, and practice. So, in a broader definition, it is meditation. Here, Master Tsong-kha-pa did not use “meditation” but instead uses “familiarization,” as, actually, they are the same. That is in a broader sense; you need to continuously strive on study and reflection, right! Therefore, although it is not the narrower definition of meditation as in the “study, reflect, and meditate,”* it is, however “equivalent to meditation.” Actually, our practice of the teaching is the broader sense of meditation. There is no contradiction, and not only is there no conflict, this is the required order! This is the first one, to establish [the perception] from the positive/correct aspect.

[*v.1 p.110 study 🡺 wisdom that comes from study is the result of meditation; reflection 🡺 wisdom that comes from reflection is the result of meditation; meditation 🡺 and wisdom that comes from meditation.]

破除此中邪妄分别: 练习、练习、练习就是修

【是故串习闻思二慧所决定义，虽非修成，然许是修，有何相违。】

所以要晓得对于闻思两件事就串习，所以闻思本身也是不断地练习、练习、练习，所以广义地来说就是修。所以他这个地方不用修而用[串]的话，其实是一样的，就是广义地来说，你这个闻跟思要不断地去努力，对吧！所以它虽然不是狭义的闻思修的修成，但是，也是[许是修]，实际上我们的的确确也是修行，这是广义的。这个并不相违，不但不相违，而且是必须要的次第是这个样呀！那么这是第一个，正面的成立，正面的成立。
