【The Three Types of Persons 】- Do we quickly meditate/practice or first understand the general presentation of the path?

About developing certain knowledge of a general presentation of the path. We don’t usually pay much attention to this aspect, we even rarely hear of it. So we say, since we want to practice Dharma, then you better hurry, since the human form is so hard to obtain. Hurry up and chant Buddha’s name, or hurry up and apply Zen meditation. Why bother with this [development of certain knowledge]? The author has his specific reasoning; in fact, if we want to take the most complete and quickest extensive path, this is the one. So in most authentic teachings, they usually begin with several things for us to recognize. On the board there, the words “cause, path, effect” are written, or “object, application, effect” or “faith, understanding, application, and realization.”

道次引导 : 赶快就去修？还是先认识道总建立？

关于道总建立发决定解，这一点我们平常不大注意，乃至于我们平常也很少听说。那我们说要修行嘛，你赶快这个人身既然这么难得，你赶快、赶快念佛，赶快参禅，忙这些干什么？这他有他的道理在，但是实际上，如果说我们要想走最完整、最快速的大路的话，却是走这个。所以正式的一般的教法当中告诉我们的时候，他往往一开头的时候让我们认识几件事情。那边的黑板上面，[因、道、果]，或者[境、行、果]，或者是[信、解、行、证]。
