【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Persons of special small capacity

【because persons of special small capacity do not work very much on behalf of this lifetime, but they diligently strive for the excellent high states of human or divine rebirth in future lifetimes by engaging in the cultivation of their causes. 】

“Special small capacity” is truly important for us here. What is genuine special small capacity? Actually, this is also what this section is trying to teach us. If you do not understand this special small capacity, the aforementioned small scope becomes the plight of three lifetimes. You sacrifice great things for a small advantage. For the special small scope, attainment is stepwise. This special small scope does not emphasize the present life, but what are these practitioners seeking? They are seeking “excellent high states in future lifetimes.” Because one seeks excellence in future rebirths, so what kind of cause does one’s current engagement accumulate? All the causes are directed toward a fortunate rebirth. Because one wants to plant benefits for future rebirths, so one practice. By engaging in many virtuous deeds, one’s rebirth will be favorable in the future.

道次引导 : 殊胜下士

【殊胜下士者，是于现世不以为重，希求后世善趣圆满，以集能往善趣因故。】

“殊胜下士”这个是我们这里真正重要的。真正的殊胜的下士是什么？实际上这个地方引导我们的也是这个。如果你不了解这个殊胜的下士，前面那个下士就是三世怨的，三世怨的，得到一点好处亏了大本。殊胜的下士的话，那个才是得到的话，步步增上的。这个殊胜的下士，不拿现世为重，而要求什么？求“后世善趣的圆满”。因为他要求后世善趣的圆满，所以现在他造的是，造集的因是什么？都是能往善趣的因。因为他希望得到后世的好处，所以他修行，修行以后造了很多善业，将来就可以得到好的地方去。
