【The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】 Not letting our life of leisure and opportunity go to waste 暇满人身不空浪费

【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】-  Not letting our life of leisure and opportunity go to waste

“Day and night I will conduct myself as a person of great capacity.” Then this is what we truly should pursue to resolve all problems. Thus, day and night these are truly what we should engage in, this is it. Do not let it go to waste without achieving virtuous effects. So in the Lamrim text, once you have understood leisure and opportunity [v.1 chapter 7], and then review this part [v.1 chapter 8] – studying and learning from these chapters and the text itself are of great meaning. Ah, how true is it that the physical form is of no great significance [if without putting the effort in virtuous spiritual training]. Honestly, the physical form is short of much meaning, yet within the overall cyclic existence, it is the most precious. Why is it the most precious? Because, even though it is meaningless, it implicates a special characteristic – only with this physical form are you able to properly take advantage of it and to be liberated from the cyclic existence and even have the capability to help other beings. Besides this purpose, there isn’t any other opportunity for us to be liberated. So, with this thought in mind, you will not want to waste, never want to waste this human life! What should you do during every available moment? You would strive on meditation practice and never let it go to waste.
