【Further Meditation on Suffering】- A must to find the root of sufferings 1

The earlier parts would frequently explain and categorize things for no other reason than this - when you encounter something, you should not just go and train as soon as you encounter teachings. If you just go ahead and train as soon as you come across something, it won't be complete. And perhaps you have not gotten to the root. You may think you got it. But there are all kinds of loopholes. Because there are all kinds of loopholes, suffering will remain despite your great efforts. This is because you have not found the root, have not found the root. For instance, let's say that, ah, there is water in our room. So, you mop it dry. However, you didn't find where the leak was, where the water came from. You will be desperately mopping. But after mopping for a long time, it will get wet again. After you mop it dry, it will come back. It will only get worse and worse. As a result, you are consumed and tired from all that work. But you will still have this dirty water in your room. Is there any use to that? That's how it is with cultivation too. You must be able to find the root cause and temporarily not deal with the other things. You must stop the leak first. After you fix the leak and there is no more water coming, then you can slowly clean up the dirty water inside. Okay, problem solved!

希求解脱 : 必定要找到痛苦根源 1

前面不同的地方，常常说明、归类等等，它原因无非是要说明这个—你要修不要说碰到一点去修，碰到一点去修，那个时候并不圆满，乃至于并不是根本，你以为碰到了，结果漏洞百出。因为漏洞百出，所以忙了半天痛苦仍旧在，你没摸到根本，没摸到根本。比如说我们现在说，哎呀，我们房间里面有水呀，你把它擦掉。结果你没找到漏洞，没有找到水哪里来的，你拼命去擦，擦了半天，那个地方又来了；擦了半天，那个地方又来了，越弄越糟。结果嘛自己忙得疲惫不堪哪，屋里面照样都是脏水，有用吗？修行也是如此。你必定要找到根本，暂时其他地方先不管它，把那个漏洞堵死了，堵死了它没有再来了，然后你慢慢地把里面的脏水清干净。好啰，问题解决！
