It seems that the Buddhist community today is increasingly emphasizing practical cultivation, with slogans and aims advocating genuine realization. Yet, in essence, it still does not involve actual practice or realization, nor does it understand what constitutes genuine cultivation or genuine realization. If one's practice does not involve meditative concentration and fails to deeply permeate the fundamental consciousness, it remains an unreal practice, like duckweed adrift without root. The result is mere intellectual understanding without genuine realization, yet practitioners mistake it for true realization. Continuing down this path, the superficially thriving Buddhist community will gradually decline. The masses will practice blindly, without understanding what they are cultivating, leading to the absence of both practice and realization—to the point where even intellectual insight vanishes, let alone genuine enlightenment. If this persists, the true Dharma of genuine enlightenment will be severed and lost, even submerged by exaggerated approaches to Buddhist study. There will be no more actual beneficiaries, and the raft of Dharma will no longer ferry sentient beings to liberation. Therefore, it is necessary to urgently advocate for genuine realization and promote actual practice, to fulfill the Buddha's original intent and swiftly liberate those endowed with sufficient virtuous roots, merits, and causes, enabling them to attain realization, liberate themselves, and liberate others.
