【Refuting Misconceptions About Meditation】- Taking Refuge in the Triple Gem

Thus, what should we do now? The above is what we need to do. Why is it that we are following the preceding order step by step–although we talk about taking refuge to the Three Jewels, what are the benefits of going for refuge to the Three Jewels? Honestly speaking, most people may not truly recognize it. That is absolutely true. Once you have experienced it, the mental force will be very strongly upheld. When this powerful mindset is developed, if you were about to fall asleep, naturally it will not happen – [the drowsiness] is removed. Therefore, next, the author provides us with the remedy, the remedy for laxity - the accurate way of pinpointing the healing of laxity. What is it? That is the mind that can recognize the benefits. Upon seeing the benefit, this mentality will actually become an encouragement, and the mind is immediately uplifted and elevated - this is the conceptual description.
