看破輪迴而想從中解脫的決心，乃是一切佛法修行的基礎。除非你清楚地決定要離棄輪迴，否則不論你念誦了多少祈願文、從事了多少禪修、閉關了多少年，都是枉然。你或許擁有長壽的人生，但它將沒有價值。你或許累積了大量的財富，但它將毫無意義。唯一真正值得去做的，即是漸漸地趨近證悟，遠離輪迴。仔細思量這一點。



Determination to be free from samsara, based on disillusionment, is the foundation of all Dharma practice. Unless you have made a clear decision to turn your back on samsara, then however many prayers you recite, however much you meditate, however many years you remain in retreat, it will all be in vain. You many have a long life, but it will be without essence. You may accumulate great wealth, but it will be meaningless. The only thing that is really worth doing is get steadily closer to enlightenment and further away from samsara. Think about it carefully.
