I Wish to Cultivate Alone

　　我想單獨修行

　　During cultivation, some people feel very frustrated. “I do not agree with what he is doing.” “He annoys me and everyone else gives me nothing but trouble. I do not wish to be together with any of them. It would be ideal if I could just cultivate alone.” These are ignorant views. When you cultivate, it is not other people who give you trouble but you who give them trouble. If you do not give others trouble, you would not know that others are giving you trouble. Thus when you feel others are troubling you or you are troubling others, these are all attachments. You do not understand the Buddhadharma. If you understand, you will have no hindrances and will not experience any trouble at all. The reason you feel troubled is because your skill in cultivation is not yet developed. You have no samadhi-power. When you have samadhi, all your troubles will be resolved.

　　在修道的時候，有人覺得有很多麻煩「這個人不如我的意，那個人也令我生煩惱，他們都是給我添麻煩的，我不願意和這些人在一起，最好是我一個人單獨修行。」這是一種愚癡的想法，你修道不是人家給你麻煩，是你給人家麻煩。你如果沒有給人家麻煩，你就不會知道人家給你麻煩；尤其你覺得有人給你麻煩，或者你給人麻煩，這些問題都是執著，都是不明白佛法。要是明白佛法，你就會通達無礙，不會覺得有任何的麻煩。你覺得有麻煩，正是你的功夫不成就，沒有定力；要有定力，所有的問題都會沒有問題了。
