你做功夫时,无论做什么,拜忏也好,打坐也好,只是用心做。心能跟处境相应,我们说心能和空相应,那就没有障碍,不一定要诵的很好,或坐的很好。你要跟它合一。

我们说要和大悲相应,和大悲相应是没有敌人,没有埋怨任何人。当我们制造对立,我就有相对的你,就有他,这样下去,金刚经讲,有我相,就有人相,就有众生相,然后这样一直下去就有寿者相。

-继闻法师

When you are putting in efforts, whatever the method is, it could be repentance chanting, it could also be sitting meditation, only just do it wholeheartedly. The mind that can connect with this situation, we say mind can connect with emptiness, then there are no hindrances, it is not mandatory to chant well, or sit well. You should become one with it.

We talked about connecting with this inner great compassion, to connect with great compassion that implies no enemies, not holding grudges against anyone. When we make opposition, when there is an I so there is an opposite you, there is a third-party, on and on in this way, the Diamond Sutra says, with forms of self, then there are forms of person, then forms of sentient beings, continuing on and on in this way then there are forms of living things.
