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

So you now claim to rescue all living beings, what is required? Great love–think of all worldly beings who have no happiness, so you want to provide them with true happiness. Why do we say that there is no happiness? Because you know clearly that all worldly things are deceptive and constantly changing. In the end, you will downfall and, most of the time you are descending and there is very little time that you are happy. It can even be put in this way: right now you are earning $10 or $8, whereas the principle investment is $30 million or $50 million. We all do things like this–we may feel, “Well, such investment won’t work! ”Furthermore, upon sensing suffering, “Alas, this person’s suffering is unbearable!” So you have to practice the shared small and medium capacities first, so to truly understand the suffering of cyclic existence. Upon noticing others’ lack of knowledge, you cannot bear to see them in that condition; this is when you develop genuine great love and compassion. With it, next, you need to fulfill the mentality of great love and compassion. By then, you will find out that you still have to rely on proper methods. So with great compassion, one still needs great wisdom. With great wisdom one still needs to practice great deeds–that is the Bodhisattva deeds and they are to achieve the Buddhahood!

道次引导 : 大慈大悲IV

所以你现在说要去救一切众生，也一定什么？说所以大慈，说那些人在世间是一点快乐都没有，那么你要给他真正的快乐。为什么能够说没有快乐？因为你了解得很清楚，世间所有这个东西是虚诳不实，而且迅速无常，最后的结果堕落，而且大部分的时间堕落，绝少部分的时间快乐。 乃至于这么说，眼前赚到了十块、八块钱，本钱三千万、五千万这个样地下下去，我们都做这个事情，觉得“哎呀，不行啊！”你又觉得。再不然的话觉得苦，“哎呀，他的痛苦不堪哪！”所以说你一定要先修了共下、中士，确实了解了生死痛苦；然后看见那些人居然愚痴得不了解，你看见了他们就无法忍受，这个时候才是真正发大慈大悲。有了大慈大悲，进一步要圆满你的大慈悲的心，那个时候你发现还非要正确的方法不可。所以，要有了大悲，还要有大智，有了大智还要去大行，那个就是菩提心、那就是菩提行，就是成功的菩提果！
