吉噶康楚仁波切：與其屈服於自己的弱點，我們可以喜悅地修持安受苦忍　

在我們尚未培養［安忍的］力量之前，都容易受到慣性反應的擾害。我們可以想著：「我必須仁慈，我必須仁慈，我絕對不能訴諸反應或情緒失控」，但對於具有挑戰性的情況而言，如此的說理並無法有效對治。這就像在血流如注的傷口上綁個小繃帶。

更可靠的方法是持續觀照令人煩惱的念頭和情緒，好能清醒地選擇如何應對。如此我們便有兩種選項。一種是任由自己受慣性行為所淹沒。既然經驗告訴我們這將導致何種結果，另一種選項就變得更讓人動心。與其屈服於自己的弱點，我們可以喜悅地修持安忍於苦的苦行。

"Until we develop [the] strength [of patience], we are vulnerable to reacting habitually. We can think, 'I have to be kind, I must be kind, I must not react or lash out,' but such reasoning is too feeble a remedy for challenging situations. It's like putting a small bandage on a wound that's gushing blood. A more reliable method is to keep a constant watch on our disturbing thoughts and emotions, so we can make a conscious choice about how to respond. Then we have two options. One is to let ourselves be swept away by our habitual behavior. Since we know from experience where this will lead, the alternative becomes much more appealing. Instead of succumbing to our weakness, we can joyfully practice the austerity of tolerating pain."
