【Mind Intent on Liberation】- Joyous perseverance
Ah! He said that from beginningless times, we have taken up various types of bodies, but we have not practiced the sublime teaching, in particular the “Mahayana teachings.” We have never done it as conscientiously as we have today. Therefore, as we are actually doing so today, we should quickly strive! Remember what that great master [i.e. Master Jen-nga-wa] said before? When someone saw how diligent he was in his practice and said, “So and so, you are so diligent. You should rest for a while.” He said, “Yes, logically speaking, I should rest for a while. But as soon as I think of the suffering of cyclic existence and my human life of leisure and opportunity, I just can’t stop.” Mm, just like this, the typical case of a great master. If we truly speak of cultivation, we should use this as our role model. Hence, he also said, “I look up to…”, how did he say it? “With my whole heart, I look up to this, keeping the biographies of the excellent persons in my mind. Looking up to them with my whole heart, I must learn from them, I must learn from them!”

啊！说从无始以来，这个受各式各样的身，但是没有修正法，尤其是「大乘正法」，像今天这样认真从来没有过，所以今天居然做了，赶快努力啊！记得那个祖师前面有一段话吧？人家看见他用功得不得了，就说：「某人哪，你这么用功你休息一下呀！」他说：「对呀，照理应该休息一下，但是我一想到这个生死痛苦、暇满人身，我就停不住了。」嗯，这样，那祖师的典型的公案，我们真正讲修行，要把这个作为榜样。所以他又说，我是仰望于……是怎么讲？「一心仰望这个，把古德的传记摆在脑筋里面，一心仰望，我要学他、我要学他啊！」
