Starting Spiritual Practice
Where can I begin noticing my life lessons if I do not know them?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Look at what matters most, what you cannot get past, or what you most want to escape. These may contain lessons for this life. There is no need to rush first toward a special divine-office identity.
Some continually desire stable relationships but face difficulties; others struggle financially throughout life. From practice, lessons may lie in those areas. First identify where you are stuck, then consider corrections and better ways of acting.
Lessons also appear in daily relations: treating family, friends, and partners; loving, sharing, accepting, and letting go. Life missions and lessons do not belong only to people with spiritual perceptions or unseen-world contact.
What you deeply love doing may reveal direction, while what you most wish to flee may require facing. Start understanding yourself through these clues. Your eventual direction still involves choice and genuine willingness to move toward it.
