【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- While experiencing suffering, we continue to create bad karma

【Qualm: When I experience the suffering of the miserable realms, I will be extinguishing previous bad karma, and then I will be reborn in a happy realm. Hence, getting out of the miserable realms is not difficult.】

Some people would think like this, “ok, ok, since you have to experience it, then after you’ve experienced the sufferings of the miserable realms, wouldn’t the fruit of the bad karma be gone since it has issued effects? So at that time, you can again be reborn in the happy realm. If you think about it, it shouldn’t be that hard!” Eh, some of us would think like that. So let’s read on.

【Reply: While you are experiencing the suffering in the miserable realms, you are constantly accumulating sins. Therefore, although you may die in a miserable realm, you will continue to be reborn in miserable realms. Because of this, getting out of the miserable realms is difficult.】

We need to understand that when we are experiencing the pain, at that time, yes! The sufferings you experience now are the effects of previous bad karma! Yes, it’s right! But now when we are experiencing the suffering, aren’t we creating future karmic causes? Yes! Well then what karmic cause are you creating now? This is the time you set the determining factor! When we experience suffering, we are constantly creating bad karma, therefore, sorry! This is a malicious cycle. So when you die in a miserable realm, you have no chance to get out.

暇满 : 受苦时继续造恶业

【若作是念，由受恶趣苦尽昔恶业已，仍可生乐趣，故非难脱也。】

有人这样想，好了好了，那么既然要受啊，等到你受了这个恶趣的苦以后，那么以往的恶业不是就，感了果就没有了吗？这岂不是到那时候，可以再生到乐趣当中，想起来应该不难吧！欸，我们有人会这样想。下面看，

【即受彼苦之时，时时为恶，从恶趣没后，仍须转恶趣，故难脱离。】

我们要了解，我们正在受这个苦的时候，那时候啊，是！你现在受苦是把以前的恶业感得果啊！是，没错！可是当我们现在在受苦的时候，岂不又在造将来的业因啊？对呀！那么现在你造的什么业因啊？这个时候决定的因素哦！当我们受苦的时候，我们现在继续地造恶业，所以啊，对不起！这是恶性循环，所以说，恶趣出来了以后，你没有机会脱离。
