【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- In light of this, I will spend my time practicing the sublime teaching
【Think, "If I use this life for wrongdoing, it is extremely wasteful. In light of this, I will spend my time practicing the sublime teaching." 】
It says if we have obtained this hard-to-come-by human life of leisure and opportunity, and we engage in “wrongdoing.” This wrongdoing, we should say that when we do not concord with the sublime teachings, it is called wrongdoing. It’s not about when we go and argue and physically fight with others. It’s absolutely not! Even when you are full of energy but just foolishly sit there, this is not right either, not right either! Needless to say about what you are not concordant with. On this definition of “wrongdoing,” we need to understand that there is a standard for the mundane people, and there is another standard for the renunciates. Even if you are truly in a sitting meditation, but you are muddleheaded, that is wrongdoing! Even if you are prostrating to Buddha, and you are muddleheaded - wrongdoing! Even if you are reciting Buddha’s name, and your mind starts to have all sorts of thoughts, that’s wrongdoing! With the standards of what is wrongdoing and what is righteous, we need to understand it very clearly. Well then at this time what should you do? We should “practice the sublime teaching,” practice the sublime teachings. If you can truly practice the sublime teaching, then whether you are bowing or prostrating to Buddha, reading the sutras, even sleeping or eating, you are truly increasing your pure and virtuous karma!

暇满 : 应修正法而度时期
【谓若使此身为恶行者，是徒耗费，应修正法而度时期。】
是说，假定我们得到了这个难得的暇满人身，再去做这个[恶行]。这个恶行，应该说跟正法不相应的这个叫恶行哦，不是我们今天去跟人家吵架、跟人家打架，绝对不是哦！就是精神好的，痴痴呆呆坐在这里都不行，都不行！何况是不相应的。这[恶行]两个字的定义，我们要了解，世间的人是一个标准，出家又是一个标准。就算真正你在那儿打坐，糊里糊涂，恶行！就算你在拜佛，脑筋里面糊里糊涂，恶行！就算你在那儿念佛，脑筋里胡思乱想，是恶行！这个恶行跟善行的标准，这我们要很清楚、明白地了解。那么这个时候应该怎么办呢？应[修正法]，修正法。假定你真正能够修正法的话，那么不管你是礼佛、拜佛、看经，乃至于睡觉、乃至于吃饭，都在这儿真正地增长善净之业！
