修行的信心時高時低，該如何是好？ There are so many challenges and obstacles, what should I do?

【弟子提問】

修行的路如此漫長，修行的障礙如此多（身體、工作、家庭、朋友等等）再加上自己累世業障多而福德少，所以自己的修行信心時高時低，該如何是好？ 真耽心原本自己是在做一件殊勝的修行，卻因為世間事的逆緣、阻礙而退轉。

【仁波切開示】

    每人因緣不同，所以修行方法及成就速度快慢也都不同，不需要去比較，也不要去想：「為什麼他有財富、健康快樂而我沒有？ 為什麼苦難只給我而沒有給他？」 

    大家只要確定自己是走在對的路上，在做對的事便可！ 然後循序漸進去學習，學到真正能譲自己心平靜的方式，以及如何在心不淨及不靜時，如何平息調㐲自己的心，這才是重點。

    自己是否進歩不需問別人，自己最清楚。 只要持續努力精進修行，假以時日自然而然的我們就會慢慢體會到「大圓滿」了。  好比鞋子髒了，需要用對的方法才能將鞋子的汚漬去除，去除了有色的汚漬後，才能看到原來真正旳顏色。 大圓滿的境界是無法言諭的，只有行者自己知道。

    在人生成長及修行的路途上，我們所遭遇到的阻礙多於助力，而通常我們認為「做對的事」，反而人事物的阻礙愈加大，這更容易導致自己放棄已經做對的事。  此時需經甴上師適時給予慈悲指引開示，這是譲我們繼續努力的最佳動力，也是幫助我們「思」的主要來源。 當我們在聞思之後，要有勇氣與動力來「修正、修改」，這就是「聞思修」！  娑婆世界所有的示現很少是真實的，只有自己繼續修行努力往真的方向前進努力，這才是真實的。

祝福大家，吉祥如意。

【Ask】

Most time in our daily life, there are more challenges and obstacles than help.  And often when you are doing the right things but the people surrounding you will try to mis-leading you or stopping you.  Moreover, learning dharma is such a long way and it is also not possible truly seeing Buddha and sometimes our mind goes up and goes down.  On such situation, what should we do?

【Rinpoche ‘s answer】

A Buddhism practitioner needs to close to his/her guru to get guidance.  It is like getting little bit water when u are walking in the desert and it will help you continue walking on the challenge road and heading to right direction till reach final destination.

Practicing dharma is a long journey but only you know if you are in the right direction and only yourself know if your mind is improving and is in much peace stage. 

If your mind is improving all the time, then the answer is yes.  Only when you feel satisfy of your own practice, then you will keep on doing your practice. 

Therefore, a person just only needs to know whether he/she is improving his/her mind day by day.  If so, you are learning a right way to control his/her mind.  Gradually yourself  is able to understand the "Perfection Mind" stage. No one can describe to you but only yourself can appreciate the stage. 

The samsara world is showing things untrue most of the time .  Only ourselves can  find the true through Buddhism practice direction. 

I wish you all have peace mind and be happy.
