Practice From The Heart (3)

01
The disposition of practitioners is harmonizing inwardly. Regardless of favorable or unfavorable situations, praises or reproaches, these are external circumstances which are like continuously pouring rain. We do not have the means to completely eliminate or eradicate external circumstances. To do it with perfection is by reconciling heart and mind; all is done through harmonizing inwardly.

02
If we act on bodhicitta, all that we think and all that we do, regardless of producing results or otherwise, being appreciated or disliked, being successful or unsuccessful, all these processes are merits to attain Buddhahood. Once this idea is imprinted in your mind, you will aim high, and will not care too much over trivial matters.

03
When we come across the teachings of Mahayana Buddhism, and learn the essence of cultivation from teachers, we would then gain a life of leisure and opportunity.

修心小语 (三)

01
修行人的本色就是——向内调伏。无论遇到顺境或逆境、称赞或指责，这些外境总如雨般不断降下。我们没有能力全部摆平或去除外境，真正能做到圆满的，就是调伏此一心，一切皆调伏。

02
若有大乘发心，自己所想的、所做的事，无论有成绩或没成绩，他人欣赏或讨厌，成功或失败，所有一切的过程，全都是成佛的资粮。一旦有这样的想法，你的着眼点就变得很高，不会在意芝麻绿豆的小事。

03
当遇到了大乘道，遇到了善知识精要的修心教授，自己才真正获得暇满人身。
