The first red line of three "red lines" to avoid recitation of the core points and attentions of the rehearsed course: no luck
The law of cause and consequence is the iron law between the heavens and the earth, and the recitation is not a means of escape. Debts owed must be repaid, and no one can escape because of the inevitable consequences. The true meaning of the book is that it is clear from it that it has gone astray, that it is true that it repents, and that it removes the obstacles, and that it is a cause of mercy and good deeds that is recited that reduces the bounds for the future. It is not a way to "go the back door" with the buddha, nor a shield from responsibility. And he recited the book with a sense of ease, as if he had sand in his hand, and there was nothing left of it as if he were holding it tight。
Second red line: no complaints. Yes
The reading can be significantly less effective if there is resentment towards others, dissatisfaction with events, complaints and frustration over the opening of books. There's no point in reading mercy and hatred. The scriptures are like the manna that cleanses the soul, and if they are filled with bitter gas, they become poison. Before reading the scriptures, deep breaths should be put aside for the time being, so that the puss and pitfalls of the heart can be restored to a clean state, so that effective connections can be established with the scriptures and so that the virtues are not compromised。
Third red line: no rush for results
The practice is a thin-watered process, which requires spring-planted summer and autumn harvests, and cannot be done overnight. The mentality of those who wish to be rich in transit for three or five days, to recover from disease and to doubt the usefulness of the scripture without seeing its effects, is contrary to the essence of practice. Readers should focus on what is left behind and what is growing every day, rather than rushing to see external results. It is only with patience that we can make steady progress on the road to practice。
Important post-literate links: return
Retrogression is not a superfluous step, but rather an important exercise that is shared as a gift of fire. Return objects may include:
By retrogression, not only can it be successfully carried out, but it is more likely that the mind will be expanded from being self-contained to include all human beings, as is true of the spirit of the hidden book。
The correct mind of the reading
The essence of the reading is to speak to one's own heart and to be joined with others. Each reading should be treated with three mentalities:
To avoid the three red threads and keep reading the scriptures in the right spirit, the path will be more steady and further。
