Concerning the Buddha-Dharma, most people fail to distinguish
what is important (weighty) and not important (light). Why do I say this?
Because you keep going around with your mind whether or not you have attained
shinjin. This troubled mind is still the same old self spinning around, since
you place the emphasis of "How? How?" on yourself without paying attention to
the Buddha’s Primal Vow of "Should [you] not be born there," which is the
virtue-power of Namo Amida Butsu, the Great Enlightenment of the twofold
benefit.
Not paying attention is the proof of your contempt.
Not paying attention to what should be, attending to
trifles, and neglecting the essentials -this means that you fail to distinguish what is important and not
important.
