Breaking through Blockages throughout the Body

　　打破全身的機關

　　You must break through all the blockages throughout your whole body. These blockages refer to the aches and pains that you have in your body. When there is pain, if you can endure it and not have false thoughts, then you have attained some real skill. Otherwise, you still fail the test. As you can see, there are people who were here who ran away after only one day. All of you have been here for a few days. This is really not easy. Especially the girls, who are more afraid of pain. You have been enduring suffering here, and this will really deepen your good roots. These bodhi seeds that you have planted will one day ripen and produce the fruit of enlightenment. The amount of effort you put in here will affect how much you attain. You won”t waste a moment. When cultivating, we have to have “patience with arising” and endure even the unendurable. We must also have “patience with dharmas.” To have samadhi, we must bear what is hard to bear and endure everything! Do not be afraid of pain!

　　你一定要把你全身的機關都把它破了，這所謂「機關」就是你身上這兒痛啊，那兒不舒服啊，在這時候你還能忍著，能不生煩惱，這就是有工夫了；你要是忍不住，就是沒考試上。你看有人到這兒，連一天也受不了就要跑，你們能在這兒那麼多天，這也是很不容易的；尤其女孩子多數都是怕痛的，卻能在這兒受苦，這會把妳的菩提善根種的很深，將來一定會生根發芽、結菩提果的。所謂「功不唐捐」你在這兒用功用多少，你就會得到多少，一點都不會把光陰空過。我們修行要「生忍」就是忍不了也要忍；「法忍」我們想要得到定，一定要忍的，所以忍不了也要忍，不要怕痛！
