#platform/youtube #channel/Master-YongHua #playlist/dharma-seeds  It doesn't matter at all how justified you are in getting afflicted. Your mind is very good at justifying your bad behavior, your afflictions in particular. So there's no need to understand why at all. It's just... I teach you a very simple way. It doesn't matter why, doesn't matter how. **You only look at how to get rid of your affliction; put it out as quickly as possible.** That's the only thing that matters. No rhyme or reason. **If you're afflicted, you're being stupid.** That's all. **You do whatever it takes not to get afflicted anymore. That's all.** That's called cultivation, folks. The Asians look at... they look at... I need to be peaceful; I need to be blissful. I don't teach you that way. **I afflict you and remind you that you're not supposed to get afflicted. When are you going to learn?** [laughter]
