【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Study requires applying 30 percent reluctance

If your mental capacity is weak, you are not required to study it, wait until your mental capacity is strengthened then go for it. By the time you have the mental force, the effect will definitely be realized. This is absolutely a matter of fact. However, at the learning stage, we have to impel ourselves. Usually, our study under any circumstance has a certain amount of reluctance, there is no exception, rarely any exception–whatever study we engage in, apply it with 30 percent reluctance. Then we stretch ourselves to move on, and gradually we are advancing, well, the hurdle is past! Just like that. So if we understand this concept, certainly we should feel incredibly fortunate and strive to push forward. With this motivating force, engage accordingly, any slight reluctance can be easily overcome and, eventually, the peerless benefit is still ours, continue to be with us. So it has to be distinguished in this way in many aspects. Hence, the most crucial aspect of Lamrim is still within this chapter.

道次引导 : 学习需要带三分勉强

如果自己的心力不够的话，你可以不学这个东西，等到心力强了以后再学，等到心力强了，这是千真万确的事实。但是我们如果在学的地方，那么要勉强自己。平常我们学，一定是任何情况之下，都一定带着几分勉强的，没有一个例外的，没有一个例外的，我们学任何一个带个三分勉强。然后呢勉强自己上去、上去，你慢慢地上来了，欸，就成了嘛！就这样。所以我们如果了解这个道理的话，的的确确应该感到无比的幸运，然后呢努力推动。你有这个努力推动，这样去做的话，一点点勉强就很容易克服，最后得到的无上的好处还是我们自己的，还是我们自己的。所以它很多地方就这样地要明辨，所以本论的真正重要的地方，还在这个地方。
