【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- Those who fall into the three miserable realms are similar in number to the dust particles on earth.

Those that can maintain a rebirth in the happy realms are as little in number as [the dust particles] on one’s fingers. Just on the fingers, it doesn’t matter how big your finger is, how much dirt can you get on it? And then once you’ve lost this human body, those who fall into the three miserable realms are similar in number to the dust particles on earth. In other words, we may not necessarily be [reborn into] happy realms. In the life and death process of the entire six realms, after your life ends, those who fall versus those who ascend are so far apart in their ratio. Those who fall into miserable realms are as much as the dirt on earth. Those who are able to escape and get to the happy realms are as little as the dirt on your finger nails. This ratio is unfathomable! Now we say, 1/100, 1/1,000, 1/10,000, 1/10,000,000, these numbers can’t even be used to compare, can’t even be used to compare!

暇满 ：堕落三恶道如大地土

再投生能够保持善趣的，就像爪上那么一点点。就手指上面，你那个手指再大，你能够抄多少土呢？然后呢失掉了人身，而堕落三恶道的像大地土，这样。换句话说，我们不一定是善趣，在我们生死过程当中整个的六道当中，这一生结束了，向下去的，以及向上的比例之差就这么多。堕落恶道的，大地这么多；从这个地方透脱出来，得到善趣的像爪上那么一点点。那这个比例你简直无法想啊！现在我们说百分之一、千分之一、万分之一、百千万分之一，那这些数字都没办法比，没办法比的！
