Actual Practice Is More Difficult Than Mere Theoretical Study

In the internet era, theories proliferate, and acquiring knowledge has become very easy, presenting almost no difficulty. The true challenge lies in 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 realized the practice through experience. Third, one must personally break through numerous obstacles; no one else can do it for them. Fourth, sentient beings generally lack strong foundational capacities, making it difficult to overcome karmic obstacles and truly put cultivation into practice.

Here, we focus primarily on actual practice, not on preliminary theoretical knowledge. We do not engage in empty talk or go around debating to win arguments. 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 will not easily 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 hope everyone cherishes this opportunity, refrains from clinging to mundane, unbeneficial matters, and avoids pursuing worldly pleasures, for there is nothing truly joyful in the world. I urge you all to be more mindful and enhance the wisdom within your understanding.
