【Refuting Misconceptions About Meditation 破除此中邪妄分别】Don’t be fooled by the affliction 不上烦恼的当

【Refuting Misconceptions About Meditation】- Don’t be fooled by the affliction

【Likewise, you initially use your discerning wisdom to meditate repeatedly on faults, such as the afflictions, the secondary afflictions, karmic effects of wrongdoing, and the faults of cyclic existence, according to their order in scripture. This makes you completely displeased or disenchanted. By bringing this to mind, you turn away from the group of nonvirtuous things and clear away these defilements, like burning gold in fire. 】

Similarly, when we apply the teachings, first [start with] our afflictions, affliction is a general term – it is either the root afflictions or the secondary afflictions - either the major secondary afflictions, or the medium secondary afflictions, or the small secondary afflictions - all sorts of wrongdoings. Thus, what are all these like? They are just as described below, the negative effect of engaging in wrong deeds, and the faults of cyclic existence, etc. all these categories require applying discerning wisdom to analyze repeatedly. How do we analyze? Think about what great faults they have and what great harm [they will bring]. Once you go through this reflection and analysis, then you will be distressed, alas, in the past I didn’t understand this and was fooled by it, and attached to it all day long! That will be when you develop great disenchantment and you will not be bound by it anymore.

破除此中邪妄分别: 不上烦恼的当

【如是先于烦恼随惑及诸恶行，如在修习诸黑业果，生死患等时中所说，应以观慧数数修习彼等过患，令心热恼，或起厌离，以是作意如火烧金，令意背弃诸黑恶品，净此诸垢。】

那么同样地，我们修行的时候，先对我们的烦恼，这个烦恼是总的，或者是根本大烦恼，或者是随，或者是大随、中随、小烦恼，种种的恶行。那么这些东西就像什么？就像下面说的，修恶业的恶果啊，生死的过患等等啊，凡是这种东西都应该以观察慧不断地去看。怎么看呢？说这个东西有多大的过失，有多大的祸害，等到你经过了这样地思惟观察了以后，你那个时候心里面懊恼起来，唉呀，以前我不懂，上了它的当，一天到晚贪着难舍啊！那时候你就起大厌离心，你就不会被它绑住了。
