【Going for Refuge to the Three Jewels】- do not be afraid of being wrong as you think about it

Of course, my main purpose for doing this is to encourage you to really think about it. If you truly think about it, then as soon as I bring this up, you will get the key concept to this, get the key concept to this. do not be afraid of being wrong as you think about it! Truthfully speaking, we are always going to be wrong. If we are always correct, why do we bother to come and learn? We would all be correct! Actually, it is because we are all wrong, that is why we must learn. Need to understand this principle. Therefore, do not be afraid of being wrong, but be afraid of not knowing! Not only should you stop being afraid of being wrong but you should understand that you do not know. Thus, through you reflecting on it, you will be able to find where your mistakes are. Through reflection, this is brought up, and you will be able to patch up the holes [in your logic]. Only this way can we advance step by step, do you understand? This is why I want you to reflect!

皈依 : 不要怕想错

当然我是主要的是鼓励你们好好地想一想，你们如果想一想的话，然后我那么一提的话，你就得到那个宗要，得到那个宗要。不要怕想错！真正说起来，我们是一定错的，假定我们一定对的话，那我们何必来学呀？我们都对了嘛！实际上，正因为我们都是错的，所以一定要学，这个道理要懂得。所以不要怕错，怕不懂！不但是要不怕错，而是更应该了解不懂。所以经过你思惟的话，更找出来你错误的地方。所以你经过了思惟提出来的话，把你的漏洞都能够遮盖住，这样我们才能够一步一步好好地增上，懂不懂？这是我所以要你们思的这个原因哪！
