永远不要忘记自己是一个修行人

 

最后，我想说的是，非常高兴来到这里，能够给予这些来自伟大上师们的教授，对我来说很荣幸。

 

现在，重要的是每天的修行。只是参加课程完全不足够，那是不够的。修行意味着每天我们都要检视自心，观察我们的念头，那很重要。在每一天，你所作的每一部分的修行中，重要的是去实践它们。无论你是在佛教团体中，还是独自一个人在哪里，都不要忘记自己是一个修行人，这很重要，这是最根本的理解。如果你忘记了，那不好。

 

你必须提醒自己，我是一个修行人，我要做的更好。所以，如果你不去改正你自己，谁会来改正你？没有人。即使你付薪水给别人，他们也不会，没有人会来照顾你。所以你要关照你自己，你要把握住你自己，不要在修行中失去控制。

 

因此，通过这样的方式，我们才能够慢慢的开展我们的本性，我们的本性已经在那里，在我们里面，并不是在另外一个什么地方，而你跑过去抓住它。不，你无法抓住它，太难了。它本来就完全属于你。没有人可以说那是我的，你的本性完全是你自己的。所以，你有这个力量，你有这个权利，你也完全有这个自由去开展它。

 

因此，精进、警觉、智慧，也许还有虔诚(众笑)，如果没有的话，那么精进、警觉、智慧就可以了。虔诚，当然非常好。这四点，其中三点是龙树菩萨给予的，而虔诚则来自于伟大的噶当派上师们。我们说这四点是你对付敌人，也就是负面情绪的最终武器。这四点也是你最终的保护者，只有它们可以保护你，没有其它人可以。所以，不要忘记这些，然后你将会变得完美。

Last, I want to say I'm very happy to be here and serve this wonderful teaching from the great masters which is the very fortunate to myself.

 

And now the important is the everyday practic. Just keep attending the teaching along is not sufficient at all, is not enough. Practice means everyday we need to observe our mind and mental attitude, it's very important. Each and everyday, each and every section you do practice and then the important is to apply them. Whether you are within the Buddhism community or you are alone somewhere else, don't forget you are a practitioner. This is very important, fundamental knowledge. If you forget, that's not good.

 

You have to remind yourself I'm a practitioner. I'm doing something better. So if you don't correct your self, who will correct you? Nobody. Even if you pay salary, they won't, nobody want to take care of you. So you take care of yourself and you should catch yourself. Don't lose your control with the practice.

 

So this way we are slowly able to develop our own nature. It's already there inside, it's already there it's not that somewhere else and you go there to catch it. No, you cannot catch it, very difficult. This totally belongs to yourself. Nobody will say that's mine. So that's totally yours. So you have the power, you have the right and you have totally freedom to develop it.

 

So diligence, mindfulness, wisdom, maybe devotion (laugh) and, if not, then the diligence, mindfulness, wisdom should be ok. Devotion, of course very good. These four but but these three are given by Nāgārjuna but devotion is given by these Gadampa masters. So these four are your ultimate weapon to destroy all these so-called the enemies of the negativities. And these four are your ultimate protectors. They can protect you, nobody else. So that must not forget, then you are going to be perfect.
