【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- Wish for immediate happiness

Do you know the reason why? They also wish for happiness, classic example. If we only wish for immediate happiness, then if you don’t do anything bad, you would become like this. If you have done something bad, then the result would be unthinkable. Just like that. These kinds of people are not bad people in their previous lives. So you will not find them abominable. However, they are just lazy and can’t stand up on their own, in that kind of state. I am just randomly speaking about this! But there are so many, so many places, where in the end, at every place you will be able to see the mental actions very clearly! You just take a look and will see the character of phenomenon is just as such. That is why when we learn and practice the teachings, we must joyfully persevere. Actually with this thing, the habits from beginningless time are the same for everyone. I am like that too. Ah! Feel tired, need to rest for a bit. Then when we stand we feel that it’s suffering too. So unknowingly as time goes on, we become more and more like that. That’s how it all happens. Therefore this kind of happiness is not lasting. It’s quite horrifying.

暇满 : 贪图眼前快乐的果报

你晓得为什么原因吗？牠们也要求快乐，典型的例子。如果我们只贪眼前的快乐，你不做恶事就这样，做了点恶事，那更不堪设想，就这样。这种人宿生都不是坏人，所以不会让你讨厌的，但是呢他就是那么懒惰，挺不起来的，就是这种情况。我是随便提哦！这有很多太多地方，你到后来你每一个地方，你看那个行相看得很清楚！你一看，这个法相是法尔如是。所以为什么修学佛法一定要精进，而这个东西实际上，无始以来的习气是人人如此的，我也这样。啊！累了休息一下，站起来了这真辛苦，不知不觉地弄到后来，越到后来越这个样，都是这个样。所以这种快乐是不究竟的，很可怕。
