【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Great Love and Compassion II

Now we talk about great love and compassion, but actually, we don’t even understand the true nature of cyclic existence, we are attached to it and won’t let go. Needless to mention the shared medium capacity, we don’t even truly understand the shared small capacity, how could it be possible for us to even discuss great capacity? So the text before and after tells us that you have to first recognize the characteristic of cyclic existence. What is the characteristic? There is only suffering and no happiness. So the text says it is bereft of happiness and tormented by suffering. What’s more is that you are forever wandering through such existence. Upon thinking of it, you can’t bear it. If you don’t have this mentality, it won’t work. The author says, “your body hairs should stand on end” and this actually is happening. All those who are cultivating renunciation, upon the thought of cyclic existence, alas, tears begin running down their face with tremendous fear. Now, take our apparent worldly attitude for example, we say, “This is suffering!” Actually, within one’s mind, alas, one is not able to let go, totally no sense of suffering at all. So the author says that without the experience of our body hairs standing on end [when we think of the suffering of cyclic existence], yet you talk about salvation or helping others, where does it come from? You all think about it, is it right?

道次引导 : 大慈大悲II

现在我们讲大慈大悲，实际上呢，我们对这个生死轮回的真相是一点都不了解，贪着难舍，不要说这个共中士，共下士真正的内涵都没有—谈大乘，怎么谈？所以上面，下面告诉我们，你必定要自己先要对这个生死轮回当中的特质了解。生死轮回当中特质是什么？只有苦，没有快乐。所以说，安乐是匮乏，众苦逼迫，然后不但如此，永远流转，你一想到就无法忍受，假定你自己没有这个，那不行。他说“身毛全无若动若转”的话，这是一个实际的状态。凡是修厌离心的人，一想到生死轮回，哎呀，他眼泪直流，就怕得、就痛苦得不得了。现在我们对世间的行相讲起来的话，讲起来“这个苦啊！”实际上心里面，喔唷，贪着难舍，一点苦都感受不到。所以他说身毛若无若动若转的话，那你说救、救度别人，这话从何讲起？大家想想看，对与不对？
