【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Newspaper reading habit – 4

if you so understand it just a little bit, you would act like this.  This means I have understood the principles.  However, even after you understand the principles, when you go there, you would still pursue it when you come in contact.  So later on, I further realized that even though we know the principles, we don't have enough power.  What will you need to develop this power?  He tells us, you need to reflect on it again and again. Actually this principle was told to us earlier.  What is to reflect? It is an action. What is an action?  It is karma.  Karma has power.  Oh!  That was when I understood.  So when I had some free time, when I was not doing anything, I would begin to think about the faults of the newspapers.  Ah, I would think about it, later on, I would think, think, and think until gradually the power in my mind became very strong. And then I would test myself.  When I went out, I would first think of the faults of the newspapers.  So when the newspapers appeared, as soon as I got the newspapers, I would look at it this way, "Ah!  You have been exceptionally deceitful in the past.  I will not fall for your tricks again!"  Eh, it was marvelous!  [This was something that] you could not prevent yourself from doing before.  Yet now, you feel very happy to not fall for its tricks. You have casted it aside just like that. And you feel happy about it.

可是懂得了道理，跑着去，下面看见还是跟着它跑。以后我也进一步了解了，原来道理虽懂，力量不足。要产生力量什么呢？他告诉我们—数数思惟。其实这个道理，前面都告诉我们过了。这个思是什么？行。行是什么？业，业有一种力量的。哦！那时候我懂了，我就空下来，没有事情的时候，就想着那个报纸的害处。啊，想，到后来，想、想、想、想，慢慢这个心里的力量很强。然后呢我就自己试验，又跑出去的时候，就想那个报纸有什么缺点。以后当那个报纸那个东西来的时候，我拿到报纸以后就看，“啊！你这个家伙以前专门在骗我，我现在可不上你的当了！”欸，妙咧！你以前你怎么也挡不住要看的，现在你觉得是非常欢喜不上它当了，然后呢你就这么丢掉了, 高高兴兴地。
