【Reflecting on your Future Life】- you don’t condition your mind to it, it cannot be useful

Simply knowing about this without conditioning your mind to it, or only meditating on it for a little while, will not accomplish anything.

Keep this sentence in your mind, must certainly keep this sentence in your mind! This says that we would often say, “Ah, I get it! Ah, I understand!” Though you understand, but if you don’t condition your mind to it, can it become useful to you? It won’t be useful. We don’t even need to speak of how useless this is when you don’t meditate on it after you understand it. Even if you do meditate on it, a little meditation that does not reach an adequate measurement [of the attitude/mindset] will still produce no effect. It “will not accomplish anything.” It’s like that. For us now, the real obstacle is right here. For many of us, it’s not that we don’t know, but after we know it, do we practice it? No! Then it becomes useless. You have to do it. Then when we do meditate on it, we can’t be careless and nonchalant. We have to sincerely meditate. Sincere meditation will certainly include these two aspects: the content (or quality) must be correct and the measurement (or quantity) must be adequate. The measurement must be adequate and you will still need to have a grasp of the correct method. In order to grasp the correct method, the first thing to do is to rely on the Teacher.

三恶趣苦 : 没有修习,没有用

若虽知解,或未修习,或少修习,悉皆无益。

这几句话摆在心里面,这几句话务必摆在心里面!说现在我们:“啊,懂啦!啊,了解啦!”你虽然了解了,但是你没有修习,有没用啊?没有用。不要说了解了不修习没有用,就是你修习了,稍微修习一下,不够量啊还是没有用,“悉皆无益”,这样。目前我们真正的难关就在这里,我们很多人说未尝不知道,知道了以后有没有去做?没有!那个没有用,要去做。然后去做的时候,不是马马虎虎地做,要认真地做。认真地做里面包含两样东西:这内容要正确,量要足够,量要足够。这件事情还是要把握住正确的方法,要把握住正确的方法,这善知识还是第一个。
