【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- reflect on the difficulty of obtaining a life in the happy realm

Therefore, once you have understood this, reflect on the difficulty of obtaining the general effect, a human life, and the particular effect, a human life with leisure and opportunity. If you take this to compare, to match up, and then reflect on the effect of having a human life, “the general effect...the particular effect...” The general effect is obtaining this human body. It’s difficult just to obtain the human body. The particular effect is that it is extremely difficult to obtain the rare human life with leisure and opportunity. Up until now, since we do not truly understand the subjective aspects of those mentioned above, the pure ethical discipline, generosity, and stainless aspirational prayers, our common habit is that we like to go round and round about on the words only. Like that. So I kept bringing this up earlier. Up until now, I too, know that it doesn’t mean for us to know the exact content now, but inside here there is an important concept which is what we need to recognize. It points out something we should know for ourselves, that we should at least recognize that “we are ignorant.” Once you have this little bit of asset, only then will you have a chance to learn and train in the teachings.

暇满 : 思善趣身果难得

【比此而思善趣身果，若总若别，皆属难得。】

以这个推比、比度，然后思惟得到善趣人身这个果报的时候，[若总若别]，[总]是单单得到人身，单单得到人身都不容易，[别]是特别得到暇满人身是难得极了。到现在这个时候，因为我们对于真正上面说的净戒，然后施、无垢净愿，它那个行相并不了解，平常我们一般的习惯总在文字上面转，这样。所以我前面不断地提出来，到现在为止，我也晓得，不是说让我们认识内容，可是这个里面有一点重要的概念，这个是我们要认识的。指出来，我们应该自己了解，至少晓得我们自己无知，你有了这一点本钱，下面才有机会能够修学佛法。
