【The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】will there even be a tomorrow for me 我哪里还有明天

【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- will there even be a tomorrow for me

I heard this once before: in the past, in our Xi-kang [historical Tibetan province], there was a practitioner, a meditator. He was very remarkable, usually after his daily meals, upon finishing eating, he would give the leftover food to others, gave it away to others. Someone asked him, “Why not save it for tomorrow.” He replied, “How can I know if there will be a tomorrow, will there even be a tomorrow for me!” Well, he felt… after a meal, one of his attendants who experienced a lot of hardship serving him, why? The attendant had to give away the leftovers, had to give it to others to eat quickly. “Will I even have tomorrow?” This practitioner always acted this way. In the end, when he departed this life, the signs were very good, which was incredibly notable, and so this is one of the typical examples. You can read the Biography of the Life of Milarepa. No matter what, he always said, “Alas, I don’t even know when I will die, how can I have extra time to spare on such matters!”

道次引导 : 我哪里还有明天

我曾经听见过，以前呢，在我们西康有一个修行人，有一个修行人。那个修行人真是精彩，他这个平常每天吃，吃过了以后，他那个东西就送给别人。送给别人哪，有人就跟他说：“你不会留着明天。”“我怎么晓得还有明天啊，我还等到明天呀！”唉，他觉得……就是吃过了以后，他有一个徒弟去侍候他，他那个徒弟苦不堪言，干什么？就是把他吃掉的东西，一定要送，赶快送给人家去吃，“我哪里还有明天？”他一直是这样。最后这个人走的时候，那个迹象之好，那真是无法想像地好，所以这种都是典型的例子。你们现在看那个《密勒日巴尊者传》，他不管任何事情，他总是说：“哎呀，我什么时候死都不知道，我哪有这个闲工夫忙这个事情！”
