【Reflecting on your Future Life】- what is the key to learning Buddhism

Therefore in every place, it will tell us this, what is the key to learning Buddhism? You will need to have a grasp of this – you must practice, and you must practice according to the teachings, to the principles and achieve the proper measurement! In order to practice according to the teachings, to the principles and achieve the proper measurement, you must find an excellent Teacher. In order to find an excellent Teacher, what qualities do you need? Remember this! It’s not that there aren’t excellent Teachers around, but whether we have an adequate measurement of concordance to be with an excellent Teacher. This is what’s most important. If you can do this, the rest of the problems will be resolved.

This has been stated numerous times before, you can see this everywhere in the scriptures, and we know this by now. Therefore, when we truly practice, the first thing to do is to purify ourselves! Let me read through this again, “Simply knowing about this without conditioning your mind to it, or only meditating on it for a little while, will not accomplish anything.” It’s not easy to hear this principle. Without virtuous roots from previous lives, without special virtuous karma, sorry, you will absolutely not be able to hear the scriptures, or Buddhism. Today you’ve heard it, and if you do not diligently practice, it would be such a waste, it would be too bad!

三恶趣苦 : 修行佛法的重要关键

修学佛法的很多重要的关节眼在什么地方，你要把握得住—一定要修，一定要如法、如理、如量地修！要如法如理如量，一定要找到善知识；要找到善知识，还要什么条件？这个记住哦！善知识不是没有，是说自己有没有跟善知识相应的量，这个是真正重要的，你把这个做到了，下面的问题都解决。

前面说过多少次，你随时看那个经论上面，我们也了解。所以现在我们真正修行的第一件还是净化自己呀！这段话再念一遍：“若虽知解，或未修习，或少修习，悉皆无益。”听到这个道理已经不容易，没有宿生的善根，没有这样的特别的善业，对不起，经教、佛法绝不可能听到。今天听到了还不好好认真去做，白白浪费，好可惜！
