【The Three Types of Persons 】- The Two Key Parts of the General Presentation of the Path

【2. How to take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity

How to take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity is presented in two parts: 】

In this section of taking full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity, the author tells us that there are two parts. They are:

【(i) How to develop certain knowledge of a general presentation of the path (Chapter 8) (ii) The actual way to take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity (Chapters 9 and on) 】

The author first tells us about this “path.” It is the path upon which we practice. “General” means the overall outline, which is what we need to establish on the entire learning path of Buddha Dharma. In other words, we need to have certain recognition, and this certain knowledge should be uncontrived, an understanding that will not waver. With this, then step further to the “actual way to take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity.” That is when you will be ready to take on your chosen path.

道次引导 : 道总建立的二大科判

【第二如何取心要之理分二，】

他这个摄取心要当中，告诉我们两部分：丁一、丁二，是：

【一 于道总建立发决定解，二 正于彼道取心要之理。】

他先告诉我们对于这个[道]，我们要修的道，[总]就是总纲，对于整个要修学佛法的这条道路的大体要建立。换句话说，要有产生确定的认识，而且这个确定的认识—决定解，你认识决不动摇。要有了这个，进一步然后呢再去[正于彼道取心要]，那个时候对于你所走的这个道路开始要去做了。
