【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity 暇满】I will plunge into the abyss and fall under the control of others 堕险成他自在转

【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- I will plunge into the abyss and fall under the control of others

【Now I have independence and favorable conditions. If I do not take full advantage of this time, I will plunge into the abyss and fall under the control of others. Who will lift me out? [82] Thus, every time he meditated, Jen-nga first recited this verse of teaching, which is from Candrakirti's Commentary on the "Middle Way" (Madhyamakavatara). 】

This Commentary on the “Middle Way” consists of this verse mentioned above. It says if at that time when you have attained “independence”; to have independence means we have attained the two things of leisure and opportunity, and can go along the direction of the sublime teachings to diligently practice. Yet at that time, if you do not strive and genuinely practice, you will fall [into miserable realms] again! When you fall again, you will be “under the control of others”, you will have to go along with whatever they tell you to do. What does that mean? The raging fire in the hell, the hungry ghosts who are extremely hungry, then the animals, it doesn’t matter which one; at that time, you are controlled by the external environment all day. Then may I ask you, how can you practice? How can you practice? These words are easy to understand.

暇满 : 堕险成他自在转

【《入中论颂》中：[若时自在转顺住，设不于此自任持，堕险成他自在转，后以何事从彼出。]】

这个《入中论颂》上面有这么一段话，说假定那个时候啊，你能够得到[自在]，得到自在就是我们得到暇、满两样东西，能够随顺正法好好去做。而那个时候你不努力而认真去做，那个时候你又堕落了！又堕落的时候，[他自在]，样样东西要听他们招呼的。怎么叫听他们招呼的？地狱里边这猛火，饿鬼是饿得要命，畜生，不管是哪一个，那时候一天都是被外面的转，请问那个时候你怎么修行，你怎么修行？这个文字很好懂。
