V. Errors in Turning the Light Around
1. Even though your practice gradually matures, "there are many pitfalls in
front of the cliff of withered trees." This makes it necessary to elucidate the
experiences involved in detail. Only when you have personally gotten this
far do you know how I can talk of it now.
2. Our school is not the same as Chan study in that we have step-by-step
evidences of efficacy. Let us first talk about points of distinction, then about
evidences of efficacy.
3. When you are going to practice this doctrine, first see to it somehow that
you don't have much on your mind, so that you can be alive and free. Make
your mood gentle and your mind comfortable, then enter into quietude.
