On seeing unsatisfying thing, he has a knot in his mind. On hearing rough words, he has a knot in his mind. The knots and afflictions caused by the 6 roots, if you see them clearly, you know those are illusory. Don't be deceived by them.
In the past, when I just left home, I was at the South Buddhist Academy in Taichung. Because the dean had a different style. He always gave cold rice and cold veggie for us. I had diarrhea every day. Back then, everyone was a little annoyed.
Once, we visited Venerable Monk Kuang Chin. At that time, I appeared as a monk. Then I reported this event to the Venerable Monk and asked for enlightenment. I said, "Master, we, students of the buddhist academy, many have diarrhea. They cook the lunch at 9 am and serve at 11 am, but we have to chant for more than 1 hour, worshiping at 20 halls, large and small. Alas, the meals become cold finally. Why did the dean treat us like this?
Venerable Monk Kuang Chin replied to me: “You have been deceived.” At that time, I just left home and didn't understand.

Why am I deceived? I was describing a fact. Why don't you answer directly but say: You have been deceived. Oh, now I see. It turns out to be an illusion. If you have a thought, you are deceived. Oh! Now I understand what he meant. It turns out the original dharmata is empty. Where is this thing? So I was deceived. So I willingly submit to his point of view. I am convinced. This is my later understanding. Then I talked about this cold meal the 2nd times. The Venerable Monk listened patiently, and he said: You should say: We are not blessed with hot lunches, not that they give us cold lunches.
It meant: If we are annoyed, we should complain we don't have the blessings to eat hot lunches but not complain they let us eat cold lunches.
Alas, as soon as I heard this, It dawned on me. Oh, it turns out everything originate from my mind. I always complain people let me eat cold lunches. Why didn't I reflect on why I wasn't lucky enough to have a hot lunch? Now I think of the Venerable Monk Kuang Chin. He is really outstanding. He is a true sage. But I didn't realize it at the time. Now I'm really aware of it. It turns out that no sentient beings can give me pain. It was me not blessed enough to meet good people.

Is it? Wow. It turns out reflect on myself and convert consciousness to wisdom just in a flash. Since then, I often remember his words: You should resent that you are not blessed with a hot lunch, but not resent that they make you a cold one. Then It dawned on me.
From then, I don't complain, I don't grumble. I feel satisfied and would reflect on myself. Now I understand what it means to turn consciousness into wisdom. It turns out it's just in a flash.
So it depends on whether you are attentive or not. Transformation of consciousness into wisdom is just a flash of thought.
We complain and grumble every day. Why? Because you don't know how to turn When a couple has a serious fight, the husband often tells the wife: I have been tolerating you for a long time. You are such a female tiger.
have been tolerating you for long. The Venerable Monk Kuang Chin said to turn... When your wife gets mad at you in the future, you turn around: My debt is about to be paid. Hoo... and gasp a few times. You don't have many years to ravage me. All your teeth are denture, and you are old with 50+. Turn slightly, or you might die.

When you don't get along with your parents, or when your parents annoy you, you then turn consciousness into wisdom. I mean, when you are in adversity, you have to turn. Understand? You must know to turn.
Then you are unrivaled in every aspect and raise afflictions no more. When you meet an unreasonable person. When you have an unreasonable wife, she does not let you sleep at night. You must notice: Thank her, she is my good knowledge. Let me attain buddhahood sooner. Get up at midnight and chant the buddha diligently. You can't sleep.
Once you sleep, ping ping, pian pian, you can't be relaxed. You have no choice but to get up and chant buddha. Amitabha Buddha... Thank her. She wakes me up at midnight to chant buddha.
You usually go to bed before 9 pm. Since she is rampant till 2 or 3 o'clock. If you don't thank her, who will you thank? Change your mind a little bit.
