#platform/youtube #channel/Master-YongHua #playlist/dharma-seeds  Here's what happens to us. It's a process we teach you where you see an affliction instead of trying to understand why, like ordinary people do. "Why am I so afflicted?" You don't need to understand why. You just need to be convinced that being afflicted is not good for you. That's all you need to know. No matter what the reason, no matter why and how and so forth, it doesn't matter. You're in a state that is very undesirable. That's all. And therefore you said, "Okay, I don't want to be like this." So you drop the affliction. That's all. You drop the affliction. And exactly the same recipe. Every time it happens, you drop it. Pretty soon, you know what happens to you—to your mind? You say, "I don't want to be afflicted. Forget it. I don't want to be afflicted." Period. You drop it. And pretty soon, after 30 times, you begin to ask yourself, "Why am I like this? Why?" And you find the reason why you're afflicted. You begin to see the reason behind your affliction. What happens to you if you are afflicted and you stay afflicted? You cannot see it. There's no way for you to see why you are afflicted. But if you convince yourself, you get yourself into the habit of dropping it. "I don't want to be afflicted. I don't care. I don't want to be afflicted." You clear your head and naturally, you see—oh, now you see why, how the affliction arises. You see the cause of your affliction. That's when you say, "Do I really want to be like this?"
