You're always enslaving yourself. However, if you endure it, you don't do anything but cross your legs and do it. Endure the fear. Endure more and more. And there's a very wise saying, "Ren Ku Liao Ku." Endure the suffering is to end the suffering. It's no magic. If you suffering, yes, I can help you with your suffering, but you always dependent on me. Every time you suffer, you have to Master Master, help. One day I be go on vacation. So, all you got is temporary help. But the best thing for you is to get enough help so that you can endure more and more of it. That's how you put an end to your afflictions. That is a general concept, but it applies to fear, applies to every single affliction you have. We have no magic, folks. We don't have magical bullet where you have a problem, we shoot at it, and you kill it, and it goes away. No, you have to learn to rise above it. Only you can help yourself. No one else can. So, this is why Chan training is fundamental to cultivation. We teach you how to endure. Don't have to. You can say, "Hey, I don't want to endure. I don't want to suffer." Fine. You like a guy who got fed up with his wife, divorces her, and then gets married again, divorces again, and again, and again, because he hasn't figured out what his problem is. That's all there is to it. If you don't know, you can have not solved your problem, it follow you everywhere you go. That's all. All you doing is delaying it and making it worse for you next time around. So, ordinary people, when they suffer, they run away. And they say, "I'm suffering because your fault." Pay attention. Doesn't matter who you are. You cultivate. You never accuse anyone to be the reason of your affliction. Not your husband, not your children, not your mother. Your fault. Wake up. If you really have wisdom, you should be grateful to that person. Thank you so much for afflicting me, cuz with how you afflicting me, I wouldn't know about my affliction. Instead, stupid people constantly accusing others to be the cause of their affliction. Okay, I'm done.
