The main hinderance on our path is the reliance we place in the illusion of the importance of the activities of this life. We are so locked into this way of thinking that we find it almost impossible to see any other alternatives. Any other view cannot even make a strike!
过去所有伟大的上师都曾同出一辞地告诉我们：除非我们能完全地放弃这个幻相，认识到此生的虚幻，我们才能真正认识到佛法的真相。放弃幻相之前，我们无从看到佛法的真相。
In the past all the great masters in one voice used to say that until we”ve given up the illusion of the reality of the futility of this life totally then we can”t really turn our minds to the reality of the Dharma. The Dharma until then is completely oblivious to such people.
但是一开始，我们仍然需要变得非常务实，并尽我们的最大努力进入道。我们慢慢地开始，系统地通过增加越来越多的修行，而逐渐减少世俗的事务。
Initially though, we need to become very realistic and enter the path as best we can. We start by slowly and systematically compromising the activities of this life with more and more spiritual practicies.
同样的，考虑到我们对此生幻相一贯的执着，如果我们试图一次将所有东西通通抛弃，并不见得会为我们的未来带来很好的结果。因此我们需要圆融地处理，每次放弃一点世俗需求，慢慢逐渐地、持续地在我们的日常生活中加入精神元素。
In the same line, given our habitual pattern of clinging to the illusion of this life, if we try to renounce everything all together and at once then it probably won”t work out well for our future. We need therefore, to strike a compromise and give up a little at a time thereby integrating truly spiritual elements slowly, gradually and consistently into our day-to-day lives.
为了在我们的生命中铺下真正的修行之路，我们必须在当下就非常明确：无论我们从事哪一类世俗行为，它们都无法带来任何长久或者究竟的快乐。这就是修行背后显著的本质和意义。我们说真正无伪的修行，不应是随大流之所为，当一个人知道是什么促使他承担起修行的责任时，真正无伪的修行应该是一种全然的喜悦。修行的基础，就是破除对此生幻相的执着——所以，破除它吧！
In paving the way for true spiritual practice to take place in our lives, we need to be very clear right now that no matter what or in the name of any worldly activity, it can never bring any long lasting or substantial happiness. This is the striking reality and meaning behind embarking on spiritual practice. This, so called genuine practice, is not just going along with the flock but generates utter joy because one knows whats impelling one into undertaking genuine spiritual practice. The basis then, is breaking through the fixation on the illusion of this life……so break through!
