【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- a special life of leisure is very rare

【 Even compared to the number of beings in the happy realms—beings like us—a special life of leisure is very rare. Meditate on this. 】

And then, we don’t even need to talk about the miserable realms, just take a look at the beings like us who are humans. Even if beings obtain a human body, how many can obtain the human body and also leisure and opportunity? If you make that comparison, the number is still so little. In a population of more than 4 billion, how many have faith in Buddhism? Of those who believe in Buddhism, how many understand Buddhism? Once they understand Buddhism, how many actually practice accordingly ? Ah! It is extremely rare, extremely rare! Therefore we must strive to contemplate, strive to contemplate on this. This is what we should be doing.

暇满 : 殊胜暇身极属希少

【观待同类诸善趣众，殊胜暇身极属希少。】

然后呢，我们不要说恶道，然后看那个同样的得到人身当中，尽管得到的人身，得到的人身而特别得到暇满的又有几个啊？作一个比例还是这么少，这个四十亿人口当中有几个信佛的？信了佛以后真正了解佛法的有几个？了解了佛法如说修行的有几个？唉！绝端地稀少，绝端地稀少！所以我们自己好好地努力思惟，好好地努力思惟，这个才是我们下面应该做的。
