【The Origin of Suffering】- To identify afflictions, have to listen to treatises and commentaries - 1

【And also:

Study Vasubandhu and Asanga's texts on knowledge as well in order to understand the characteristics of the afflictions. At the least, study Vasubandhu's Explanation of the Five Aggregates. Once you know the root and secondary afflictions, then when any attachment, hostility, or such arises in your mind- stream, you can identify it—thinking, "This is that; now it has arisen" – and fight the affliction. 】

Alright! Now that we're here, we know, oh, so this is where you begin to truly cultivate! Now, since we need to identify these things, what will you have to do? You will have to listen to the texts on knowledge. You must listen to them. "Texts on knowledge (the corresponding law, Abhidharma)," what are these? These are the treatises, the commentaries. Even though the scripture has explained things to you, but the scriptures did not explain the principles in subtle layers. So when we only read the scriptures, we may not necessarily understand. So why did the Buddha teach us the sutras? This principle has been explained earlier. I will explain it again here. This is to say that some people have already met the conditions, they have adequate virtuous roots. So when you explain to them the issue at hand, it will solve his problem. Like that. But for us here, we have not the qualifications. So even if we were told the same things, they are useless to us. It is useless. It is useless.

希求解脱 : 想认识烦恼，定要听论 1

【又云：“知烦恼相者，亦须听对法，下至当听《五蕴差别论》，了知根本及随烦恼。于心相续，若贪瞋等，随一起时便能认识，此即是彼，他今生起，与烦恼斗。”须如是知。】

好！现在到了这个地方呢我们知道，哦，原来你真正修行要从这个地方做起啊！那么现在我们既然要想认识这些东西的话，这个你怎么办？还要听对法，一定要听。“对法”是什么？论。经虽然告诉你怎么，但是经上面，它并没有这样深细的层次说明这个道理，单单看经，我们不一定看得懂。那么为什么佛说经？那个道理前面已经说过，这里再说一遍。这个是说，那些人已经到了这个条件，善根已经够了，就针对着眼前的问题告诉他一下，他问题就解决了，这样。对我们眼前的人来说，不具这个条件也告诉你，没有用，这个没有用，这个没有用。
