答：不闻思修怎么能生起信心呢？能够生起信心的话，不需要闻思修也能得到加持，但是生起信心是很难的。信心是一种不动摇的心，是从明理中产生的。你真正明白了诸法事实真相以后，你就不会再怀疑了，不会再动心了。你不动心，心就定了，心定了就有力量。 

Guru’s answer: How could you generate a faith without learning, contemplating and practicing? If your faith were raised, you could obtain the blessings without doing all these. However, it is hard to generate a faith. Faith requires an unwavering mind which is generated from awareness of the reality of Dharma. After you truly understand the nature state of all things, you won’t have doubts and waver anymore. When you are not moved, your heart is settled and then you get the power.

现在有些人今生今世没有太多的闻思，但是他过去世中有足够的闻思。他基础是有的，因缘不具足的时候，它不会显现出来。有一天突然因缘具足了，他前世修来的那些善根就会成熟，这个时候他忽然就会开悟。所谓的“顿悟”就是这种情况。比如说六祖慧能，他不是没有闻思，他不是没有修过，他不是没有基础。他是有基础的，他在过去世中修过，他的相续差不多已经成熟了，最后通过一个小小的偈诵，或者是一个什么动作，就瓜熟蒂落了。 

Some people nowadays don’t do too much learning and contemplating, but they had done that in their past lives. As a result, they have some foundation; however, it doesn’t present when the conditions are not ready yet. One day, when conditions are ready, those good roots they had made in previous lives will ripen. At this moment they will get enlightened all of a sudden. The so-called epiphany is like this. Take Huineng the Six Patriarch for example, it is not right that he didn’t learn, contemplate or practice. It is also wrong to say that he had no foundation. He had foundation that had been built in his previous lives and his continuity is almost getting mature. As a result, just a short gatha or a slight gesture, the condition is ready.  

开悟也好，成就也好，这是一瞬间的事，但这也是需要磨练的。磨练习性，让自己的相续成熟。已经磨得差不多了，到时候一点就破。你不断地修持，相续慢慢成熟了，有一天你就会豁然开朗，有一天你就会突然明白的。 

It is just in a flash whether it is enlightenment or attaining achievement; however, it also requires challenges. To challenge your habitual patterns and mature your continuity. When you get trained well enough, it will click one day. As long as you continue to practice and mature the continuity, one day you will get enlightened and have awareness all of a sudden.

自己的心要诚，心要净，这样的话，加持哪里都有，随时都能得到。“千江有水千江月”，有水就有月，谁有信心谁就能得到加持，这是不可思议的。你真正用心去体会，才能感觉得到，之前它是看不见摸不到的一种力量。也可以说上师三宝的加持，也可以说是自己的加持。自己能够一心，那它本身就是一力量，是一种加持。上师三宝是一种对境，是一种所依。不断地培养信心，最后生起信心，心定下来了，就能得到加持。

When you have a devoted and pure mind, you will get the blessings anywhere and anytime. The moon shines on the river where water flows. Where there is water, there is moon shining on the water. Those who have a faith will obtain the blessings. It is incredible. Not until you experience attentively with the heart will you feel it, before then it is a power you cannot see and feel. The blessings could come from the Guru and the Three Jewels. It could be the blessings from your own. When you set your mind on, it is a power itself and also a blessing. The Guru and the Three Jewels are perceptual objects and a basis. You need to establish a faith continuously until it is generated. And when your mind is settled, you will obtain the blessings.
