【 The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】Absolutely must take the correct and most direct path 确实要走最正确直接的路
【The Three Types of Persons 】- Absolutely must take the correct and most direct path
So regarding this, if we want to take this complete path, then we should understand how to develop certain knowledge of a general presentation of the path. Even if we are unable to do it for the time being, what should we do? Remember this at the causal stage, oh! So this is the way it goes, that is how it works! Because, at the present moment, I have great obstacles and having many afflictions in this cyclic existence, I strive to chant Buddha’s name so I can be reborn to go to Pure Land. Upon arriving there, I certainly want to take this most direct route. Once you have this concept at the causal stage, later when you arrive in Pure Land, you will not hastily attain the goal of Theravada. At that time, you will take this correct cause that you have planted back at the causal stage, allow it to increase gradually and gradually, then take on this direct Mahayana path. Thus, the point here is: either for now or in the future, we will gain the greatest benefit. After making this decision, next, sincerely take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity. By then, abide by the systematic order to advance step by step.

道次引导 : 确实要走最正确直接的路
所以关于这地方我们真实想走这个完整的路子的,那么那个时候对于这个道的总建立,应该有这样。就算是我们现在一下不行,那么怎么办呢?因地当中记住,噢!原来这样啊,原来这样啊!所以我现在目前是障碍很大,然后呢这个地方也很苦恼,所以我努力要念佛到极乐世界,去了以后我确实要走这一条最正确直接的路。你因地上有了这个念头的话,然后到了极乐世界你不会很快地取证二乘果位;那个时候你就会得把你当年因地当中结下的这个正因,让它慢慢、慢慢地增长,然后走这条直路。所以不管眼前也好、将来也好,对我们最大的好处—这一点。那么发了决定以后,第二才正于彼道取心要,那时照着这次第一步一步上来了。
