  • When we practice, we will see the world as uninteresting,
    undesirable, and filthy.
    The mind will loosen its worldly attachments.
    The loosening will strengthen your resolve to practice.
    When you need to be in contact with the world,
    Sati (mindfulness) and Samadhi (stability) will intensify,
    like when you are approaching a group of poisonous snakes.
    After practicing for a while,
    you will know that this world is like a poisonous snake.
    Visions and sounds are like poisonous snakes.
    They can corrupt the mind.
    When you practice and need to interact with the world,
    you will feel as if you are surrounded by poisonous snakes.
    They can bite at any time.
    The mind will be alert and full of Sati (mindfulness)
    and Samadhi (stability) to stay vigilant.
    Indriya-Samvara (mindfulness of the senses)
    and Sila (moral precepts) will arise automatically.
    The mind will be automatically stable.
    The mind will be composed and focused.
    After some practice, you will see the results:
    it is hard to be in the world. It is on fire. It has no essence.
    You only live in it as necessary.
    You live in it as if you are surrounded by poisonous snakes.
    The world is full of suffering.
    If you are careless and cling to it just a little bit, you will suffer.
    Seeing this, the mind will be more inclined to practice.
    At first, you must persevere and persuade yourself to practice.
    But after a while, no persuasion is necessary.
    The mind will be weary of the outside world and will want to practice.
    Then, the progress from practice will be more swift;
    your practice will get better faster.
    This applies to both laypeople and monks who are determined.
