【The Origin of Suffering】- ocus all of your attention on defending yourself

This is much like fighting in a war. When you fight, you cannot be running away from it. If you run away, there is only one option for you, death! That is because even though there may be a chance that in a war, the enemies may not see you. But when you are in the cyclic existence, I am sorry. The enemies will be looking at you from all directions! If you don't open your eyes and destroy the enemies, there will be only one option for you – you will certainly be killed. This principle is very plain and simple. Therefore the only option for you is to open your eyes, focus all of your attention on defending yourself and finally conquer the enemies. This is the only option for you. This is what we need to recognize. Therefore if you understand this, that's when you will understand that if you directly face it, you will still have a chance to live. This is the first concept.

希求解脱 : 全部精神防他来袭

就像打仗一样，打仗你不要逃，你逃的话，只有一条路，死路！因为打仗容或敌人看不见你；在生死当中的话，对不起，那个敌人在四方八面眼睛张大了看着你呀！你不张大了眼睛逃避敌人，要把敌人消灭的话，只有一条路，非被它打死不可的，这个道理很简单。所以你只有睁大了眼睛，全部精神防避它来袭，然后你把它克服，这是唯一的一条路，这是我们要认识的。所以你如果说认识了，然后你那时候会了解，你只有正对着它，你还有生路，第一个概念。
