Guang Qin, an old monk, made an analogy: if you throw a stone, the dog will only chase it, while the lion will chase the stone thrower. In contrast, lions are smarter. So, when you think of it, don't distinguish what it is, but see what is behind it.
At the shallowest level, we should correct our thoughts, turn delusions into righteous thoughts and evil thoughts into righteous thoughts. Furthermore, you should know that thoughts are born and die. This requires a correct understanding, which is the function and performance of our innate consciousness. So we should work hard on the perception behind our thoughts. In this way, you will not be bound by thoughts, and now you will become enlightened wisdom. There is a saying in the Diamond Sutra called "The Tathagata protects the Bodhisattvas". "Good care for the Bodhisattvas" means to protect one's right knowledge and mindfulness, which always corresponds to the real essence, in fact, spiritual environmental protection.
