【The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】Flee with all your ability 拼命逃出去

【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Flee with all your ability

【And his Concisely Written Method of Achieving the Mahayana Path says:
Just as, when a chance arises
For prisoners to flee from prison,
They flee from that place,
As their goals are not the same as others’,
So too if an opportunity arises
To cross over this great ocean of cyclic existence,
You emerge from this household of existence,
As your goals are not the same as others’.

Just like a prisoner, we are locked up in jail and we are sentenced to death. Once locked up, death is certain. Now, since there is a chance for us to flee, this opportunity is absolutely vital. Any other important task cannot be compared with how important it is. So if there were a chance to escape, you would flee with all your ability, you would never say: “Well, excuse me, I still need to get one more thing, not done yet, still need to wash my face, something else, need to eat ...” You wouldn’t bother with anything else and flee desperately. So for us now, in the entire great ocean of cyclic existence, we can only be liberated if we have a human life of leisure and opportunity. To be liberated, the only thing we can rely on is to apply the teaching. In this situation, nothing else can compare to it, they can all be given up. One must flee and have to escape it!

道次引导 : 拼命逃出去

【又云：“如犯从牢狱，若有能逃时，与余事非等，速从彼处逃。此大生死海，若有能度时，与余事非等，应当出有宅。”】

就像一个犯人一样，我们被关在这个监牢里边，而这个犯的罪是死罪，这个死罪关进去是非死不可的。那么既然现在有一个机会让你能够逃走的话，这个机会绝对是最重要的，其他任何重要的事情，绝不会跟这个重要的事情可以相提并论。所以有机会逃了，你拼命逃都来不及，绝对不会：“唉，对不起，我还要拿一个东西啊，还没弄好，还有脸没有洗，什么东西、饭没有吃……”什么东西都不要了，拼命逃出去。那么现在对我们来说，在那个整个的生死轮回大海当中，只有在人身得到暇满的时候，才能够跳出来，而跳出来只有修行，在这种情况之下其他的任何事情啊，都不能跟它相比，都能够舍得掉，一定要跳出来，一定要跳出来！
