【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- Mind running after the sensory object

It is simple when we explain it. However, it is not easy to recognize that this is happening, not to mention doing it. In order to help everyone understand this correctly, let me explain this one more time. When the sensory object arises, your mind runs after it. Think about it, is it not true? It does not matter what situation may come up. Needless to say how your mind goes when you see delicious foods. When someone scolds you, you throw a tantrum. Then in our daily lives now, this happens often: when we go through the morning and nightly rituals, when someone sounds the Dharma Instruments a little faster, a little slower, or does it wrongly, what are you thinking in your mind? Therefore, earlier I have spoken about this. There was a student here who sounded the instrument completely wrongly and I am so appreciative of that! I did think that he did it wrongly but then my second thought was, “Oh, I am so substandard! I could not keep my mind steady and my mind had gone after it.”

皈依 : 随着境界跑

说起来很简单，大家不要说做做不到，认得它都不容易。为了使大家正确地认识，我再说一遍。当那个境界现起的时候，你这个心跟着它跑掉了。想一想看对不对？不管在任何情况之下，不要说好吃的东西，跟它跑掉了；然后呢他来骂你，你发脾气了。那平常的时候我们，所以常常的情况，我们上早晚殿，这个人法器敲得快一点，这个人法器敲得慢一点，或者这个人弄错了，你心里面怎么想？所以很早以前我曾经说过，有个同学跑得去，锵铃匡乱敲，我真感谢啊！我心里面觉得他敲错了，然后呢我第二念就感觉：好差啊！我心里面自己稳不住，就被它，跟着它跑掉了。
