【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity 暇满】 When the principles from the books have begun to be applied by you. 当书本上道理已经用到你身上

【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- When the principles from the books have begun to be applied by you.

Earlier we have said that when we learn the teachings we need to eliminate the three faults, and what else do we need? We need the six ideas. What is the first idea? We have faults. Oh-yo! When we listen we have great vigor. But what faults? It’s still in the books. That…that is of no use. That’s training the book. So now at this point, if you gradually continue, then what faults are there? Ah! This is it. So I didn’t understand it before! That’s when the principles from the books have begun to be applied by you. You are no longer training the book. You have begun to gradually train yourself. So this is one step after another step. That’s why I wanted to especially clarify why I’ve brought this up here. Once you understand this point and then look back, we absolutely will say I do not have this in my mind. Then you can observe in detail of others and realize that those who can plant these causes are extremely few in numbers. If it’s very few, can you achieve this effect? Of course then it’s difficult! So this is observing in terms of the causes. Then the next step is? In terms of the effects.

暇满 : 当书本上道理已经用到你身上

前面我们已经说过了我们修学佛法去掉了三过以外，还要什么？具六想，第一个什么想啊？说自己有过，喔唷！这听得很来劲，什么过呀？书本上面。那个、那个没有用，那是修书本，现在到这地方，你慢慢地继续下去的话，什么过呀？啊！就在这地方，原来我不懂！那个时候书本上道理已经用到你身上了，你修的不再是修书本了，慢慢地开始修自己了。 这个一步、一步，所以我在这个地方特别跟大家说一下，我所以这个地方提出来的原因。你认得了这一点你再去看的话，的的确确说我心里不具足，然后呢再能够仔细地观察大家，说能够结这个因的人哪，少极了，既然很少的话，你能得到这个果报吗？当然难！所以这个因门当中观察，进一步呢？果门当中 。
