【Mindfulness of Death 念死无常】plant the cause of the fruit 造下与果相应的因

【Mindfulness of Death】- plant the cause of the fruit

Hence, even as we repeatedly say, there is one point we must all understand. After listening, often we say: “Aye, it was fine when I listened to it, but after listening, I can’t do it, then what do I do?” Of course you can’t do it! If you do, you don’t have to listen to it anymore. Similarly, because you can’t do it, after listening, never ever give up. We must understand that everything has a cause and effect relationship. You want to get something now, what is it? You want the effect. We want the effect, then what you must do - plant the cause of the fruit. What is the cause? Diligently follow the commentaries concordantly, continuously research, investigate and have a firm grasp of the key points, have a firm grasp of the key points. Then diligently contemplate and observe. If you are right on track with your diligence, great disenchantment will naturally arise in the near future. This is what we should correctly understand at present.

念死无常 : 造下与果相应的因

所以尽管前面，我们这么一再地说，有一点大家也注意，听完了往往说：“哎呀，听的时候很好啊，但是听了我做不到，怎么办？”当然做不到！做到了，我们就不必在那儿听了！正因为你做不到，所以应该在那儿听；同样，正因为你做不到，所以听完了，千万不要放掉了就算。要晓得：一切事情都一定有它的因果关系，你现在要想得到，这个是什么？我们要求的果。我们要求这个果，应该做的事情—下这个果相应的因。这个因是什么？努力照如理相应的经论，不断地去研究、探讨，把握住重点，把握住重点；然后努力照它这样去思惟、观察。你只要在这一方面努力做对了，将来自然会生起大厌离心，这个就是我们现在正确地认识了。
