【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- In the desire realm, one can do so (practice) under one condition

【A life as a certain type of desire realm deity—one who has strong latent propensities due to previously having trained in the path as a human— can serve as a basis for initially seeing the truth】

Well then to truly practice the teachings, you would have to be in the human realm, others will not suffice. But in the desire realm, one can do so under one condition. That is when he was a human, he had already achieved some success in cultivation and his habits (latent propensities) were quite strong. Then even if he is born later into the deity realm, he can still see the truth, in other words, he would be on the path of seeing. Therefore when Buddha appeared in this world, there were many such as Indra, after they listened to Buddha’s teachings, they got onto the path of seeing. They have been training in the path in their previous lifetimes. If they didn’t train in their previous lifetimes, then nothing would have happened. This is what we should know. Real cultivation truly happens in the human realm.

【However, you cannot initially attain the path of a noble being during a life in the higher [deities'] realms.】

That’s how it is in the desire realm, even if you go higher in the deity realms, it’s absolutely impossible!

暇满 : 欲界天只有一种条件下才可修行

【又有欲天，昔人世时，由其修道习气深厚，堪为新证见谛之身，】

那么真正说修学佛法只有人道，其他都不可以的。但是欲界天在一种条件之下他可以的，说就是他人当中，如果修行已经修得很有成就了，习气很重了，那么虽然生到天上，他可以见谛，换句话见道。所以佛出世的时候，有很多帝释什么等等，听了佛讲了，他就见道了，他宿生都已经修行，如果宿生没有修行都没有用。这个是我们要了解，真正的修行，的的确确人道当中。

【然上界身，则定无新得圣道者，】

欲界是如此，再上去的话，绝无可能！
