..续本文上一页 of yellow leaves in the autumn," and awaken to how the myriad things naturally come into being and then cease to be, in a cycle of twelve interconnecting links. They contemplate the twelve links of conditioned co-production:
(一)无明。他观察这个无明从什么地方来的？怎么会有无明呢？
(二)行。有了无明，就有行为，就有所表现了；有所表现，就有了识。
(三)识。识就是分别。行就是个有为法；有了有为法，然后就有分别心；有分别心，就有了麻烦了。
(四)名色。这个名色就是麻烦。一有了名，这是有名的麻烦；一有了色，就有色的麻烦。名色就是麻烦，麻烦就是名色。这个事情若讲起来更麻烦，不讲还没有麻烦，一讲就讲出麻烦来了。我没有这么说的时候，你根本就不知道，你没有这么多麻烦。我这一讲，你不懂，有个不懂的麻烦了。有不懂的麻烦，就想要懂；想要懂，这就有了六入了。
(五)六入。这个六入就是想要懂，想要明白，于是乎就生出眼根、耳根、鼻根、舌根、身根、意根，就生出了这六入。这六入为什么要生出？就是想要明白。孰不知，愈明白就愈胡涂，愈胡涂愈不明白，这就是六入。
(六)触。这触就是个碰。不明白，就要各处去碰，东碰、西碰、南碰、北碰、上碰、下踫，就好像那个乌蝇(苍蝇)似的，各处去碰壁。为什么要碰壁？就因为要明白。
(七)受。碰了之后，就有了受。没有碰壁，就觉得很舒服；一碰壁，就觉得很不舒服。没有人说我不好，我觉得很快乐；有人说我不好，我就觉得很不欢喜。这就是受。
(八)爱。有了领受，就生出一种爱着。我们人为什么有一种不平安的感觉？就因为有这种爱。有了爱，就有了恶，也就是有了讨厌。对于顺的境界，就生出一种爱着；对于不顺的境界，就生出一种厌恶。为什么有个高兴？为什么有个不高兴？就因为有一个爱，有一个恶。那个恶就是个不愿意、厌恶，所以这麻烦就一天比一天多起来了。
(九)取。对于你所要爱的东西，就生出来一个取。什么叫取呢？就是得着，想要得到。因为你爱，所以你就想要得到。
(十)有。你得到了，就满自己的这种欲望。那么为什么要满足自己的欲望？就因为想要有它，所以就有个「有」了。
(十一)生。因为有这个「有」，你想要得到属于你自己的。这一属于你自己的，就有了来生了。
(十二)老死。有了来生，就又有老死了。
所以这十二因缘，是缘觉圣人所修的。
1. Ignorance: They contemplate to see where ignorance comes from, and why it exists.
2. Activity: With ignorance, there is activity, and then there is manifestation. With manifestation, there is consciousness.
3. Consciousness: Consciousness refers to discrimination. Activity refers to conditioned dharmas. When conditioned dharmas arise, thoughts of discrimination arise. With thoughts of discrimination, the trouble comes.
4. Name and form: Name and form are the trouble. Name brings the trouble of name, and form brings the trouble of form. Name and form are the trouble, and the trouble is name and form. To talk about this matter is even more troublesome. Before I mentioned it, there was no trouble. But the mere mention of it brings trouble. Before I talked about this, you weren”t even aware of it, so you didn”t have that many troubles. Once I speak of it, since you don”t understand, you have the trouble of not understanding. Because you have this trouble of not understanding, you wish to understand. With the wish to understand, the six sense organs come into being.
5. Six sense organs: The six sense organs come about because you wish to understand things; that”s why the the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind arise. Why do the six sense organs come into being
Because of the desire to understand. But who would have known that the more you try to understand, the more muddled you get. The more muddled you become, the less you understand. That”s the six sense organs.
6. Contact: Contact refers to touching or encountering. When we don”t understand, we go seeking encounters everywhere: east, west, north, south, above and below, just like a fly that keeps bumping into the wall. Why do we seek encounters
Because of our desire to understand.
7. Feeling: After we touch something, there is feeling. Before we run into difficulties, we feel very comfortable. Once we encounter difficulties, we feel very uncomfortable. When no one criticizes me, we feel very happy. But if anyone says something bad about us, we get upset. That”s feeling.
8. Love: When we have feelings, love and attachment arise. Why do people feel insecure
It”s because of love. Once there is love, there is also hatred, or detestation. We like and cling to favorable situations, but detest adverse states. Why do we feel happy
Why do we feel unhappy
It”s because we have feelings of love and hate. Hate refers to dislike and loathing. Because of these, our troubles increase day by day.
9. Grasping: When we see something we like, we want to grasp it. What is grasping
It is the action motivated by the wish to obtain something. Because you are fond of something, you wish to obtain it.
