【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- wish to eradicate all living beings’ suffering

【The Lamp for the Path to Enlightenment:

Those persons are called “superior”

Who sincerely want to extinguish

All the sufferings of others

By understanding their own suffering.】

It still says, understand personal suffering and then extend that experience to others, wanting to assist them. Moreover, one wants to eradicate all living beings’ suffering in the Dharma Realm. This is the most superior person and this is the Bodhisattva with great Bodhichitta.

【Below, I will explain how the method for these persons to attain enlightenment involves both the perfection and mantra vehicles.】

This content is for the study of the great capacity; this is the topic of this section so the text will explain it in great detail. Great! Based on the above content, let’s take a look at the overall content of Buddhism that is completely included here. So Master Tai-xu of our time spoke of the five vehicles of humans and deities [plus sravaka, pratyekabuddha, and Bodhisattva to make up as the five vehicles]. Actually, these five come from reliable sources, which are clearly described in Indian scriptures. One can further group them into five vehicles, three vehicles, or even two vehicles. In the end, even in the Lotus Sutra, there is only one vehicle, that is to achieve Buddhahood. Regardless of how you group them, the content is completely covered in this section. There is no exception: all the objects for you to practice in this training are nothing else but these.

道次引导 : 要尽除法界有情的苦

【《道炬论》云：“由达自身苦，若欲正尽除他一切苦者，是为胜士夫。】

还是说，要体会到自己的苦，然后呢，推己及人要帮忙别人，而要尽除所有法界有情的苦，这个就是最殊胜的人，这个就是发大菩提心的菩萨。

【此士所修菩提方便，谓波罗蜜多及咒，下当广说。】

这上士要学的内容，这是因为这里正说的，所以下面详细说。好了！根据上面这个内容，我们看一看整个的佛法内容，统统在里头了。所以现代的我们的太虚大师说人天五乘，实际上这个都有根据的，印度的经论里边说得清清楚楚。你仔细一点分五乘，再不然三乘，乃至两乘，乃至于最后《法华》上面只有一佛乘。但是不管怎么判，内容都是这个，再也没有例外，你所对的境就是这些。
