【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- As if using a golden vessel to hold dirty things

【One who is born as a human, and then becomes involved in wrongdoing is even more foolish than one who fills a golden vessel adorned with jewels with vomit. 】

Just like if you use all kinds of jewels, priceless Muni jewels and such, to adorn a most precious golden vessel. Then you use it to do what? Ah! You fill it with dirty things. You use it to hold dirty things. It’s the same as our human bodies. It’s so difficult to have obtained something of matchless beauty, and you use it to create bad karma. Ah, truly, this ignorance, there is nothing more terrible than it!

暇满 : 如把金器装脏东西

【若以众宝饰金器，而用除弃吐秽等，若生人中作恶业，此极愚蒙过于彼。]】

就像你用种种的宝贝，无价的摩尼宝珠等等，然后呢装饰一个最珍贵的金子做的器具，居然拿它来干什么？啊！装脏东西，装那个脏东西。现在我们这个人身也是一样，难得得到了这样的无比的美妙的东西，居然你去造恶业，唉，实在是啊，这个愚痴，那是再没有比这个更厉害的了！
