I Wish to Cultivate Alone

　　我想单独修行

　　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.

　　在修道的时候，有人觉得有很多麻烦「这个人不如我的意，那个人也令我生烦恼，他们都是给我添麻烦的，我不愿意和这些人在一起，最好是我一个人单独修行。」这是一种愚痴的想法，你修道不是人家给你麻烦，是你给人家麻烦。你如果没有给人家麻烦，你就不会知道人家给你麻烦；尤其你觉得有人给你麻烦，或者你给人麻烦，这些问题都是执着，都是不明白佛法。要是明白佛法，你就会通达无碍，不会觉得有任何的麻烦。你觉得有麻烦，正是你的功夫不成就，没有定力；要有定力，所有的问题都会没有问题了。
