【The Three Types of Persons 】- Recognize the objects that we face, properly knowing what to adopt and cast aside in accordance to the teaching

As for “object, application, and effect,” these are the same. Thus, for this object, what are the objects we currently face? It is the mountains, rivers, and great earth; they are all the objects that we face – both external and internal objects. The external objects are known as physical phenomena, and internal objects are the spiritual phenomena – all of these are what we know as objects of knowledge. One is contaminated and painful, whereas the other one transforms contamination into purification. Through understanding this “object” with proper recognition and knowing what to adopt and what to reject, abide by it accordingly. For the sake of attaining your goal, you need to have an accurate understanding. Based on this recognition, then engage in it, and this is to uphold the practice. So either translating it to “path” or “application” is good. That is, you are advancing on this path, and it will result in the commensurate effect.

道次引导 : 认识对境，如理取舍

境、行、果呢，也是一样。所以这个境，现在我们所对的境是什么？也就是眼前山河大地，无不在我们所对的境当中，外境、内境。外面所对的境，所谓，喏，这些色法，里边就是心法，整个的这些东西我们所知的万事万物。这样是杂染的、是痛苦的，然后这样是这个反染为净的，然后得到这个的，你对它有一个正确的认识，然后知所取舍，然后照着取舍去行。你为了要达到你的目标，你要有正确的认识，根据这个认识然后去这样去做，这个就是行持。所以翻成功[道]也好，翻成功[行]也好，就是你在这条道路上面走，然后呢感得这样的果。
