【Refuting Misconceptions About Meditation】- Beginning with faith in the teacher

【Therefore, you will easily attain the firm concentrations which please the learned to a degree commensurate with your cultivation of the trainings, beginning with faith in the teacher and ending with the engaged spirit of enlightenment.】

So from here we can recognize all the way from the earlier step by step sequence: beginning with relying on the teacher, cultivating faith in the teacher, and even continue to abide by this sequential order on the path, human life of leisure and opportunity. Followed by reflecting on suffering, then taking refuge, cause and effect, all the way until generating the aspiration for the spirit of enlightenment - both aspirational attitude and engaging in actual deeds…apply all of these stages step-wise. However much effort you put forth in these, the comparable effect will be yours in the future. With the effect, you will quickly succeed in your chosen practice. This degree of our sublime Samadhi will please all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas – they are the ones who have true wisdom. This is very clear.

破除此中邪妄分别: 于善知识修信

【是故从于知识修信，乃至净修行心以来，若有几许众多熏修，即有尔许速易成办，智者所喜妙三摩地。】

所以从这地方我们了解，前面一步一步上来的一个次第：从亲近善知识，对善知识的修习信心，乃至于针对这个次第下去，暇满人身，然后思苦，然后皈依，业感，一直到发菩提心，愿心、行心……所有这个次第一步一步地修。你有多少努力的功夫放在这个上面的话，那么将来你就有多少本钱，拿这个本钱就能够很快地能够修成功你所要的。这个也是诸佛菩萨—真正有智慧的人，所喜欢的殊胜的三摩地，这个非常清楚。
