【Further Meditation on Suffering】- A must find out the root cause of suffering 2 

Therefore when we cultivate, at this point, especially for this - you must bring this concept to mind again and again. Don't say, "Ah, I am going to cultivate now!" Others will tell you how to cultivate? If you are doing Zen meditation, some will tell you do recite the Buddha's name, and others will tell you....no matter what teaching method you are engaged in, oh, [people will say] the mantra teaching is good, as long as you practice, it will work. So you just follow along. In fact, you have not found the real fundamental problem, however, have you achieved anything? It would appear that you may have achieved something. Of course, it's much like moping the floor. If you just mop it, the floor will be dry. But once you take the mop away and turn around to look, it [i.e. the water] will come back. What use is that? Therefore too many practitioners these days are doing exactly that. Not only do they not understand, they will even try to help others. The more they help, the worse the situation! This place is telling us, oh, the situation is like this. What is the root to this? From this we begin the topic on the truth of origin. This is to be found.

希求解脱 : 必定要找到痛苦根源 2

所以我们修行哪，在这个地方，特别—这个概念要一而再、再而三地摆在脑筋里面。不要说：哎呀，我现在要去修行去啦！人家告诉你怎么修啊？参禅，人家告诉你念佛，人家告诉你……不管是哪一个法门，哦，这个密宗好，你只要去修修就行，然后你就跟着去修。实际上，根本的问题在哪里你没找到，有没有一点样子？有一点样子的。当然就像那擦地一样嘛，你拿着湿布一擦，那块地就干了，等到你湿布拿掉了，回过头来看看，那个地方又来了。那有什么用啊？所以我们现在太多的人修行都是忙这些，然后呢自己还不懂，还要去帮别人去，是越帮越忙啊！现在这个地方告诉我们，哦，这个情况这样的，根本在哪里呀？由此而讲集谛门，那么就找。
