習得法教，念茲，行茲，悟之，再修習之，努力不斷……。如果只是聽許多的教法，是不能變成最好的修行人的。要給自己成為一個最優秀的修行人：必須先體會到修行的重要，並且明白清淨的修行法。
一旦自己掌握到修行的宗旨、道理和重點之後，一個法門就足夠你去累積資糧到開悟解脫了。
否則光聽聞許多教法，也許得到些許加持，卻可能無法獲得更好的證悟。修行所要持修的勝義諦，需明佛自證菩提果乃無上之果，一切現證自利，最圓滿最究竟。
阿彌陀佛 舒心分享 吉祥

To acquire doctrines, one should be mindful, and practice, realize,and cultivate them diligently. One will not be the best practitioner if he just hears a lot of doctrines. To be the best, he has to first understand the importance of cultivation as well as the pure ways of cultivation.

Once he grasps the goals, principles and key points, only one approach is enough for him to accumulate strengths until he is enlightened and liberated.

Otherwise, by just hearing a lot of doctrines, one may get some reinforcement, but he may not get better confirmation and enlightenment. What one has to cultivate is the magnificent truth. He should know that the Bodhi fruit the Buddhas attained is supreme fruit. One will benefit from all confirmations which are the most perfect and ultimate.

Namo Amitabha Buddha!
Let’s share this with joy. Auspiciousness to all.
