When you want to explain a principle to someone who is famished, you must first give him a bowl of rice, sometimes even let him take a bath first, have a good sleep, then explain the principle to him after he is more sober. This is what it means to skillfully observe the dependent arising, to begin by observing what matters to him.
《希望·新生》【四季法语】春 #71 Spring · Four Seasons Words of Wisdom [Hope·Embark]
你要跟一个非常饥饿的人讲道理，必须先给他一碗饭，有时候甚至让他洗个澡，好好睡个觉，清醒一点之后，才把道理讲给他听。 这就是所谓的善观缘起，要先观察他所关心的事情是什么。
