【Mindfulness of Death】- to observe and contemplate, do not be vague and ambiguous

Regarding endless nights of ignorance, that forms a beginningless unreal erroneous view, there is only one method – to counter it intentionally. The details of which will be explained later. Put it simply, it is to generate a force in your mind to continuously observe and contemplate. It is unlike now where our mind is vague and ambiguous, this is something we need to recognize and take cognizant of. If we are able to discern and establish a correct understanding of this insight, we should work hard immediately. If you still do not understand, continue to work hard. Our understanding of the various principles of practice, also known as the phenomena, can be said to be vague, or not knowing at all. Although we talk about cultivation/practice, we do not know what is meant by practice, and yet we preach to others about practice, sigh, really! We do not know what we are saying, and also do not know what the content is about, this is truly… we are deceiving ourselves and deceiving others, we are teaching ourselves and others the wrong things.

念死无常 : 要观察思维，不要含含糊糊

关于这个长夜无明，形成无始虚妄的颠倒，只有一个办法—作意对治。那么作意对治的行相，详细后面会说。这里简单地说，就是你脑筋里面，的确提起来一种力量，说不断地去观察、思惟。不是像我们现在这样，脑筋里含含糊糊，这个是一个应该认识的一点。如果说大家对这个作意，已经有正确的认识了，应该马上用功；如果对它还没有了解的话，下面好好努力下去。我们现在对于修行的很多道理，也就是法相，也可以说很模糊，一点都不知道。大家讲修行，修行固然不知道，乃至于还要跟人家去讲，唉，真是！自己也不晓得说些什么，自己也不晓得内容是什么，这个真是……大家在这地方啊自欺欺人，自误误人。
