【The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】Why is the great capacity also shared path? 为什么上士也是共道？

【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Why is the great capacity also shared path?

So the shared path that was mentioned earlier would have been considered the shared path at that time. The great capacity is also shared, why? The initial great capacity was unique in the Mahayana; however, both Sutrayana and Tantrayana practitioners must take this unshared great capacity. But Sutrayana only goes up to [the fulfillment of the shared great scope] and not further into the [Tantra practice]. So this part of [the great capacity in the Sutrayana] is also shared with Tantrayana practitioners. Only by reaching that level of Sutrayana practice then you are ready for Tantra practice. Why?

【because, when you do, you will quickly complete the two collections.】

Because when you enter the Tantra path, both blissful and wisdom merits can be quickly achieved. So the reason that Sutrayana takes up to two great eons, and Tantrayana makes it possible to become enlightened in one lifetime, this is where the actual concept lies. Once you have this precise and complete recognition, then you will not doubt it. Otherwise,you will definitely have doubts: well, we ordinary and confused people, by carelessly chantinga few mantras, how is achievement in one lifetime possible? Needless to say about this misconception in Sutrayana, even in Tantrayana there is no such expression, this we have to be clear.

道次引导 : 为什么上士也是共道？

所以说要把这个前面的共道啊，到那个时候称共道，上士也是共道。为什么？这个前面那个上士本来是大乘的不共道，可是不共道显教也要走、密教也要走；可是显教单单走这个，再上面就不走了，所以那部分对密教来说也叫作共道。你一直到了这个时候，那个时候你要趣入密咒。为什么呀？

【以若入密速能圆满二资粮故。】

因为你进入密教的话，很快速地圆满两个资粮—福德资粮、方便资粮（编者按：疑师口误，智慧资粮）。所以为什么显教要走两大阿僧祇劫，密教能够一生取办的，真正的概念在这里。如果你们有了这个正确的圆满的认识，那就对这个东西不怀疑了。否则的话，你一定会怀疑的：啊，我们普普通通、马马虎虎的人，居然就这么随便念几个咒，就一生取办了？那不要说显教里面误解，密教里也没这个讲法的，这我们要清楚。
