【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Determine the path to take for yourself

As for the Tantra teaching, there are definitely many tantra practitioners who do not involve themselves in many extraneous matters, we have to clearly discern this attitude. They distinguish the right from wrong, big or small issues very clearly. They know that there are unsurpassed goals here; for the sake of reaching that goal these minor things right now can be ignored. So they leave these minor things behind, they can become detached, and this is the right attitude. So we must recognize the entirety of the path, and then you determine the path to take for yourself. Furthermore, continue with perseverance, thus it is proper, and that is the right thing to do! This is why, at the very beginning, we have to first understand the stages of the path in their entirety, recognize them first. Then, when you take them on, you can be steadily assured. Otherwise, when the winds blow from the east, you lean toward the east, or when they blow west, you yield to the west. You listen to this person and feel that he’s right, and you want to follow him. Listen to another person, and you agree! Go to another Dharma center, you take a look and are also in agreement, then follow … thus, an entire lifetime is totally wasted. This we have to know.

道次引导 : 在身心上确定要走的路线

但是这个密教，修密宗的行者的确有很多事情外面都不管了，这个心情我们要分得清楚。他把那个是非、大小分得非常清楚，说我有无上的这个大目标在这个地方，我为了达到那个无上大目标起见，现在这种小事情不去管它。所以他把这个东西摆在那里头，他能够舍掉，这个是对的。所以我们一定要把那个整个道的内涵认得得清楚，然后呢，在你的身心上面确定你自己走的路线，然后坚持这个原则走下去，那就对，那就对！这是为什么我们一开头的时候，必须要把那个整个那个道的完整的次第先认识，先认识。那时候你走的时候才千稳百当，要不然的话，东风东荡，西风西荡，听这个人讲讲，觉得没错啊！你又想跟着他；听那人讲讲，觉得是呀！跑到那里看看也觉得这样，跑到那里……一生就空空浪费掉了。这我们要了解的。
