众生皆具佛性，能否见到要靠自己

The doctrines and practices of Buddhism are logical and realistic, not at all mysterious. When understood, it is unlikely that anyone will disagree. Buddhism has pointed out a safe passage out of samsara for us, whether we choose to leave is another matter. If we choose not to go this way, we will just keep wandering away from the path to liberation. And whether or not liberation from samsara can be attained really all comes down to one’s actual practice.

佛法的一切见解与修持都不神秘，是符合逻辑与事实的，任何人只要能理解肯定都会赞同。我们已经找到一条逃离轮回的出路，而且是一个很安全的出路，但是否选择从这个出口走出去则是另一个问题。不走，就永远只能在出口徘徊。这就涉及到实际的修行了。

In terms of actual practices, emptiness and not-self are the two practices for the third and the fourth characteristic of the Noble Truth of Suffering. As for the second characteristic of suffering, you can refer to the common preliminary teaching on ‘the woes of samsara^ in The Words of My Perfect Teacher. To practice impermanence, I find that, at the moment at least, the factors contributing to the eternalist views are not those subtle ones but rather the more obvious ones. So the practice to counter this kind of view is the teaching on ‘the impermanence of life’ as specified in The Words of My Perfect Teacher. Once we have completed these practices satisfactorily, firm renunciation will arise which is certain to help with our quest for liberation.

苦谛第三、第四个行相的具体修法就是空性与无我；第二个行相痛苦的具体修法，可以参看《普贤上师言教》外加行中所讲的轮回过患；至于无常的修法，从目前看来，能导致许多烦恼的常见不是很细微的，而是比较粗大的常见。要推翻这种常见就要修习《普贤上师言教》中的寿命无常。这些修好以后，我们就可以生起非常坚定的出离心，这对于解脱是很有帮助的。

Actually, it is a big mistake not knowing the importance for all sentient beings of learning and practicing the Dharma. Sentient beings all possess Buddha nature. Through the incessant effort of all the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, surely everyone will eventually come to realize this. Just the process may take longer to come to fruition. Until then, we should also strive to gain that realization on our own.

其实，学法、修行对世上所有的生命来说都很重要，没有意识到这一点是很大的错误。众生皆具佛性，相信经过诸佛菩萨们时刻不断的努力，最终能让人们理解这一点，只是过程要长一些，所以我们自己也必须努力。
