【The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】Expect to obtain laudable benefits 期望获到殊胜胜利

【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Expect to obtain laudable benefits

【Therefore, first you must train in the thought that is common to persons of small and medium capacities in order to develop a wish to attain the two benefits, high status [as a human or deity] and certain goodness [liberation or omniscience】

So now that we have this understanding and the feeling is: “well, that is what I want!” Regardless of which of the two benefits [we want], upon recognizing the laudable advantage, of course, we expect to obtain it. To obtain it, we have to apply the practice accordingly, step by step. By then, what prerequisites do we need to have in the practice? The prerequisites are the small capacity and medium capacity, so it is known as the shared mentality of medium and small capacities. The “thought” is our inclination, the preferences in our minds. In other words, the power of preference will encourage us to move forward. This power of preference as a very wide range: you have this accurate recognition, and you are inspired to seek this path. And then you look for the method, wholeheartedly strive at it, all these mentalities are included within this thought.

道次引导 : 期望获到殊胜胜利

【若于增上生及决定胜，二种胜利发欲得者，故须先修共中下士所有意乐。】

所以现在了解了这个，觉得“欸，那我要！”对于不管这两种哪一种利益，晓得了这个殊胜的利益，当然我们期望要获得它。要想获得它，你就得一步一步的如理如法地修持。那个时候修持的话，必定还要先修什么？前面这个下士、中士，所以叫共中下士这个意乐。“意乐”，也就是我们的志趣，我们的意念当中所好乐的。换句话说，这个好乐的力量，策动我们这样去做。这个好乐包括的范围很广：你有这个正确的认识，愿望这个道，求这个；然后找寻这个方法，一心努力去做，这种心情都在这个意乐里边。
