【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Persons of medium capacity

【Persons of medium capacity develop disenchantment with all of cyclic existence, and then make their goal their own liberation from cyclic existence. They then enter the path of the three trainings, the method for attaining liberation.】

The content [of medium capacity] is to develop disenchantment. This sort of disenchantment - usually we only mention disenchantment - it is to be disenchanted about what? It is to be disenchanted with “all cyclic existence,” which includes all three realms [desire, form, and formless realms] of existence. The desire realm is undoubtedly very loathsome, why? It has all sorts of harm/disadvantages. Even in the form and formless realms – in the form realm, deities have too much enjoyment; in the formless realm ... one should recognize all the big disadvantages and generate great disenchantment. However, that disenchantment is for the sake of individual benefit, to wholeheartedly achieve personal liberation to escape from the three realms. Thus, for the sake of escaping from the three realms, one seeks an expedient approach. What is this expedient approach? It is ethical discipline, concentration, and wisdom [the three precious trainings]. These are all included in medium capacity.

道次引导 : 中士夫

【中士夫者，谓发厌患一切诸有，为求自利，欲得度出三有解脱，以趣解脱方便之道三种学故。】

他这个内容就是这样，发了个厌离心。他这个厌离心，平常我们单单都说厌离心，那么厌离是什么呢？对于“一切诸有”，这个诸有包括三有。欲界固然是非常地厌恶，为什么？它有种种的过患，乃至于色界、无色界，色界天上那快乐得不得了，无色界……都是晓得它的大过失，产生大厌离。但是他那个厌离只求自利的，自己解决了，一心一意要度脱这个三有。那么他为了达到这个度脱三有，所以找这个方便道，也就是这个。方便道是什么呢？就是戒、定、慧。这个统统包含在中士当中。
