修行的第一步 1 The First Step 1

When your car breaks down and doesn't start, what do you do? If you know cars, you can try to fix it yourself. If you don't, you will find someone else to fix it for you. Either way, for the car to be able to start, some one who knows about cars is needed to fix it. Using our terminologies,we say that "we need someone who knows car's Nidānas to fix the car."

當您的車壞了，無法啟動，您怎麼辦呢？ 如果您懂汽車，您可以自己修理。 如果不懂，您會找一個懂汽車的人幫您修理。 不論如何，要把汽車修理好，我們需要有一個懂汽車的人。 這個結論，用我們的字眼來說會成為『要把汽車修理好，我們需要有一個了解汽車「因缘」的人。』

Similarly, someone who knows our Nidānas is needed in order to resolve our emotional and mental problems. With the current technology, modern western medicines can only suppress the physical symptoms of these problems, but they cannot resolve it. Not yet, anyway.

同樣的，要解決情緒或精神上的問題，我們需要一個了解我們自己「因缘」的人。 現在的科學及西方醫學只能抑制情緒或精神問題所造成的身體症狀，還沒有辦法將問題的癥結連根拔起。

Unfortunately, there is no one else who can know our Nidānas better than us, because our Nidānas is the accumulated result of our senses and interactions with the world since the day we were born. Needless to say, our Nidānas is extremely complex. To make the matter worse, the details of Nidānas are often hidden deep within our subconscious, and it is not easy to change.

不幸的是，沒有人比我們更知道自己的「因缘」。 因為我們的「因缘」是從這輩子與世界互動所累積的，所以非常的複雜。 更困難的是，我們的「因缘」往往隱藏在自己的潛意識深處，很難去知道了解，更難去改變。

So the first step in our pursuit of our own personal Truth is to talk to our subconscious.

所以追求自我真相的第一步，是去跟我們的潛意識對話。
