"You must fix your attention on the place where thoughts are born and die. If you practice this way, no matter the type of delusional thoughts that emerge into consciousness, one look and they will be cut to pieces. Everything will be dissolved before disappearing. You should never take or leave sequenced illusory thoughts. Master Yongjia insisted: "We must decide the continued desire of the mind." This is because the mind is illusory originally rootless. You should never consider that thought is true and you attach. When she emerges, take immediate consciousness its appearance. As soon as you have noticed, it will disappear by itself. Never try to block thoughts, but look at the float like a pumpkin on the water. "
