修行不神秘，人人都有解脱的可能

The Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering

灭谛

The cessation of suffering means having eliminated all the defilements. It is like the reemergence of blue sky after the clouds have been blown away by the wind. Similarly, when negative karma and defilements have been purified and uprooted by renunciation, bodhicitta and realization of emptiness, Buddha nature (Tathagatagarbha) will naturally arise. This is the Noble Truth of the Cessation of Suffering, the ultimate effect of practicing the Dharma. Then, does it mean that actualization of Tathagatagarbha is the sole purpose for us to practice the Dharma? Of course not. The ultimate goal of Mahayana practice is to attain enlightenment in order to benefit sentient beings more effectively and completely.

灭谛就是断除了一切烦恼。就像乌云密布的天空被一阵风吹过后，露出清澄的蓝天一样。同样，当烦恼和业被出离心、菩提心以及空性的见解断除以后，剩下的就是佛的智慧——光明如来藏。这是灭谛，也是我们修行的最终结果。那么，证得光明如来藏是否为修行唯一的目标呢？并非如此。证悟此境界后，我们就可以更完整、更有力地去度化众生，这才真正是大乘佛法的最终目标。

Of the four noble truths, we discussed the nature of suffering more extensively than the other three. As for the specifics of the actual practice, please refer to The Words of My Perfect Teacher. Dharma practice is indeed very important，but don’t place too much attention on its seemingly mysterious side. Rather, we should just faithfully follow the words of the Buddha and steadily move along. This is the only sure way that will take us to the ultimate goal. So do keep up with your practice. 

以上介绍了四谛，其中苦谛讲得广一些，其他三谛相对略些。具体修法在《普贤上师言教》中已经讲得比较完整，大家可以看书修习。修行是很重要的，但不要太过追求神秘，而是要走佛指点给我们的踏踏实实的路，这样一路走上去，绝对会有结果的，希望大家能精进不懈！
