這邊摘錄了幾句筆者從高僧大德們聽來的
雖然當下聽是頗刺耳的，但後來就放棄掙扎了
分享給要滅苦的各位，或許會有些幫助
=========================分隔線==================================
醫生老是叫我不能吃這個不能吃那個，
但他自己從來不去看醫生
為什麼呢?? 因為害怕 !!!
觀別人的行為跟心很容易，觀自己的卻很難
修行就是這麼簡單也是這麼的難
簡單在只要一直不斷地覺知自己
難在很多人一下就覺得無聊而放棄堅持下去
我沒有比較特別，只是能夠堅持重複無趣的事
敵人(煩惱)強大的時候，暫時逃跑也是可以的
煩惱起來的時候知道它起來
煩惱消失的時候知道它消失
心特別散亂時就先修定，讓心力恢復後再去修觀
剛開始時沒辦法觀就先注意自己的呼吸修定
或是其他的業處，看自己的心喜歡什麼業處
即使是剎那定也有足夠的力量去觀照身心
喜歡美女帥哥的就修不淨觀
喜歡財富名聲的就觀無常
喜歡生氣的就修慈心觀
迷失的時候知道迷失
清醒的時候知道清醒
懶惰的時候知道懶惰
沮喪的時候知道沮喪
喜悅的時候知道喜悅
生氣的時候知道生氣
驕傲的時候知道驕傲
正常的時候知道正常
不正常的時候知道不正常
執著的時候知道執著
黏著的時候知道黏著
欲貪、知見、我慢是大敵
聞慧、思慧不如修慧
不要只是知道，要做到!!
覺得自己很聰明、很厲害，修得很好是愚痴
解脫的最後一步是連能觀的那個都自然地放下了
不用執著於涅槃
================================
Here are a few quotes the author heard from eminent monks and masters:
Though they were quite harsh to hear at the time, I later gave up struggling.
I share them with all who seek to end suffering, hoping they might be of some help.
=========================Separator Line==================================
Doctors always tell me what not to eat,
But they themselves never go to see a doctor.
Why is that? Because they're afraid!!!
It's easy to observe others' behavior and minds, but very difficult to observe one's own.
Practice is both simple and difficult:
It's simple because all you have to do is continuously be aware of yourself.
It's difficult because many people quickly find it boring and give up persisting.
I'm not particularly special; I'm just able to persist in repetitive, uninteresting tasks.
When the enemy (defilements) is strong, it's okay to temporarily flee.
When defilements arise, know that they've arisen.
When defilements disappear, know that they've disappeared.
When the mind is particularly scattered, start with concentration practice to restore mental strength before practicing insight.
If you can't observe initially, focus on your breath for concentration,
Or on other meditation objects—see which objects your mind likes.
Even momentary concentration has enough power to reflect on body and mind.
If you like handsome men and women, practice observing impurity.
If you like wealth and fame, observe impermanence.
If you like getting angry, practice loving-kindness observation.
If you're easily deluded, observe dependent origination—read the Agama Sutras.
When lost, know that you're lost.
When awake, know that you're awake.
When lazy, know that you're lazy.
When discouraged, know that you're discouraged.
When joyful, know that you're joyful.
When angry, know that you're angry.
When proud, know that you're proud.
When normal, know that you're normal.
When abnormal, know that you're abnormal.
When attached, know that you're attached.
When clinging, know that you're clinging.
Desire, greed, views, and conceit are great enemies.
Listening and thinking are inferior to practicing wisdom.
Don't just know—do it!!
Feeling clever and capable, and thinking you've progressed well, is foolishness.
The final step to liberation is naturally letting go even of the ability to observe.
Don't cling even to Nirvana.
