【Further Meditation on Suffering】- the suffering of change - pleasant feeling, is the most difficult to breakthrough

Therefore, recently, we have gradually and slowly begun to carry out confession and so on. So students have produced different feelings in response. Those who have developed feelings, what actually happened? These are the people who were able to put it to practice accordingly, put it to practice accordingly. This is why, the sutra has told us this time and again: though you may understand a lot, if you are undisciplined, you will not accord, it is useless; on the contrary, even though you might only know a little, but if you put it to practice, you will immediately gain benefit. But here we should not misconstrue it as this: if this is the case, we do not need to know a lot. No! If you can understand a little,  in concordance with the Dharma, you will immediately gain benefits. So the more you understand, the more benefits there will be. This is telling us to put the teachings that we understand to practice accordingly, be concordant with it, and experience its real benefits. So now, we have a general understanding. Next, there will be a particularly explanation with regards to the suffering of change - the pleasant feeling, because this is the most difficult one to breakthrough. If you can breakthrough it, the rest of the problem will be easier in comparison.
