【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Observe properly, at the risk of your life, all of the vows and pledges - 2

So this “vow” is the foundation for the following: Bodhisattva vows, sravaka vows, and so forth, as well as the beginning of novice monk vows. “At the risk of your life” means that your life can be sacrificed, but the vows must be maintained. The life you risk is at most only one lifetime, once this vow is violated, too bad! Besides, if you risk your life for the sake of maintaining it, well! Just right for you to advance on the path, exactly what you are looking for! Now, this world is filled with suffering, and you are inspired to be reborn to Pure Land. Once you risk this life, you go there immediately, you can hardly wait! This is the reason that most people do not comprehend and are unable to uphold the precepts. The text states clearly, high-status, if you dedicate to high-status, and aspire to be reborn in Pure Land, it will immediately be effective! Just like that.

道次引导 : 宁舍命如理护持律仪-2

那么这个“律仪”就是下面的基础：菩萨律仪、声闻律仪这些，以及从沙弥律仪开始。“宁舍命”，命可以舍掉，这个要护持。命舍掉最多一生，这个一破，坏了！而且你如果护持这个东西的话，命舍掉了以后，欸！你正好上升，求之不得啊！现在这个世界的确很苦，你要求极乐世界，这命一舍，马上去，那是求之不得啊！所以现在大家所以不了解，不能护戒的原因就在这里。它说得很清楚嘛，增上生，如果你的回向增上生，希望到极乐世界的话，马上去嘛！就这样。
