暇满:  小心现世乐

【《弟子书》云：「犹如象儿为贪着，深阱边生数口草，欲得无成堕险坑，愿现世乐亦如是。」】

就像那个大象，那个大象看见那个阱边有点草，唉呀！牠就吃了，不晓得那个旁边有个深阱。那个象一陷到深阱的话，因为牠太重，爬不起来了。你要想贪着这个深阱旁边吃的话，一定堕下去，那我们现在贪现实的快乐也是如此。哦！这东西很可怕。

【A human life of leisure and opportunity】 – Beware of Immediate Happiness

【As Candragomin's letter to a student (Sisya-Iekha) states: Just as an elephant calf craves a few mouthfuls of grass that grows at the edge of a deep pit and falls into the chasm without obtaining any, so it is with those who desire the joys of this world. 】

Just like an elephant, when the elephant sees some grass by the edge of a pit, aiya! He then eats it, not knowing there is a deep pit next to it. When the elephant falls into the deep pit, because it is too heavy, it can’t get out. If one craves and eats next to a deep pit, one would surely fall in. It’s the same for us who crave immediate happiness. Oh! This is very scary.
