【LISTENING】 – Listening can develop happiness that is beyond reproach

Indeed, for each step there is a profound meaning that enables us to attain the bliss of resonating to the teachings. Is there the same kind of bliss in the mundane world? Yes! But the worldly happiness still leads to the effect of cyclic existence. Therefore, only this kind of [Dharma] bliss is beyond reproach. There is a reason why the text does not refer to the benefits and only points out that it is beyond reproach. In the mundane world, when we make some money today, the happiness is immediate. Sorry to say, once your lifetime is over, it is unclear where you will end up. The [worldly happiness] is faulty and this concept must be clarified. So this is an inevitable situation, well! This is the sequence of the five [ideas].

【To contemplate this is to contemplate the benefits of hearing the teaching. 】

If you contemplate [the benefits of hearing] in this way, then, with these thoughts, do you understand where the benefit arises? It arises from hearing the teachings. Ah, hearing the teachings has such laudable benefits!

听闻 : 听闻能生无罪法乐

的的确确它每一个地方，都有它深厚的内涵，能够使得我们感受到，这个跟法相应的乐。世间的乐有没有？有！世间的乐，最后的结果，还是会轮回生死的。所以只有这个乐是无罪，它不讲好的那方面，只讲无罪是有这个原因的。世间我们今天赚了个钱，眼前是快乐的，对不起，两脚一伸，不晓得到哪里去了，这个有罪的，这要分得很清楚。所以这必然的情况，喏、喏、喏！就是这样的五个次第。

【作是思惟，即是思惟听闻胜利。】
你能够照着这样去想的话，那么这个时候这样的想法，你了解这个好处哪来的？听闻佛法来的，原来听闻佛法，有这样的殊胜的利益！
