Actual Practice Is More Difficult Than Mere Theoretical Study

In the internet age, theories proliferate, and acquiring knowledge has become remarkably easy, presenting almost no difficulty. The true challenge lies in the realm of actual practice. First, there are few practical examples or experiences to draw from. Second, there is a lack of guidance from those who have genuinely practiced and attained realization. Third, one must personally break through numerous obstacles; no one else can do it for you. Fourth, sentient beings generally possess weak spiritual foundations, making it difficult to overcome karmic obstacles and truly put cultivation into practice.

Here, we focus primarily on actual practice, not preliminary theoretical knowledge. We do not engage in mere rhetoric, nor do we seek victory in debates. Once you enter the stage of actual practice and grasp its foundations and key methods, even if you attain no significant realization in this lifetime, you are unlikely to fall into the three lower realms. In future lives, upon encountering the Dharma again, you will automatically enter a state of actual practice, and your cultivation will progress swiftly. I urge everyone to cherish this opportunity, cease chasing after mundane, unbeneficial affairs, and refrain from pursuing worldly pleasures—there is nothing truly joyful in the world. I hope everyone will be more mindful and enhance the wisdom within their understanding.
