當真正坐下來時要告訴自己，如「自性本來清淨」，可能會很困難，儘管我們可以在沒有給情緒打攘的時候，能與此實相聯繫起來。 如果當我們處於危機之中，並且對自己產生懷疑時，很難接受這些真理，這就是一個明確的信號，表示我們確實需要有人來指導我們，向我們展示和教導我們。

噶瑪巴

To really sit down and tell ourselves things, such as, ‘I am inherently pure and decent,’ can be difficult – although we can relate to these truths during unemotional moments. If we have a hard time accepting these truths, when we are in crisis and have doubt in ourselves, then this is a clear sign that we do need someone to guide us; someone to show us; someone to teach us.

如果您看著時鐘並要求它停止或“停留一分鐘”，它只會不斷從一秒鐘滴答到另一秒鐘。 無論你怎樣要求時鐘，它都不會停止，甚至一刻都不會停止。 時間是不會停頓，這是不可避免的，無常也是如此。 最終是我們越要選擇以某種方式拒絕接受這個事實，這個變化的現實，我們越會經歷最後限期和面對時間流逝我們卻無能為力的壓力。結果，會造成焦慮、困惑和痛苦。

我認為佛陀基本上就是這樣看透或體驗所謂的輪迴運作。 生活中的輪迴始於我們不接受無可逃避的真理那一刻。 我們嘗試用各種方式忘記無常這個事實。
噶瑪巴

If you look at a clock and ask it to stop, or ‘hang on for a minute’, it will just keep ticking from one millisecond to another. Whatever you ask of the clock, it will not stop, not even for a moment. Time
is unstoppable, it is inevitable. And so it is with impermanence. In the end, the more we choose to somehow push this fact aside – the reality of change – the more we will experience the pressure of a
deadline, the pressure of time being taken from us without the power to do anything about it. As a result, anxiety, confusion and dukkha arises.

I think that is how Buddha basically saw or experienced the way in which the so-called samsaric life
functions. The samsaric aspect of our lives starts to occur from the moment we push aside this
inevitable truth. We try all sorts of things to somehow forget the fact of impermanence.
