【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- As this body of perfect leisure and opportunity was very difficult to obtain -1

His Concise Method of Achieving the Mahayana Path states:
If you wish to attain unsurpassed enlightenment,
Which has inconceivable greatness,
Be intent on practice and achieve its heart,
For enlightenment depends upon practice.
As this body of perfect leisure and opportunity
Was very difficult to obtain, and once obtained
Will be very difficult to possess again,
Make it meaningful by striving at practice.


Other than what was stated above, besides his root reliance on the lineage, Master Atisha also explained this in his other teachings. What is next? The author quotes other commentaries to explain the same content. If you aspire to attain the unsurpassed, inconceivable spirit of great enlightenment, then what is the root cause? The root cause is practicing the teaching, and the heart of the training is Bodhichitta. Then what does this Bodhichitta rely on? It depends on our very difficult to obtain human form of leisure and opportunity. This human form of leisure and opportunity has great meaning, yet it is so rare to encounter. Thus, now having obtained it, we should strive quickly, definitely not let it go to waste. Once squandered, it will be very difficult to regain.

道次引导 : 已得极难得,圆满暇满身-1

《摄修大乘道方便论》云:“欲得不思议,胜无上菩提,赖修菩提故,乐修为心要。已得极难得,圆满暇满身,后极难获故,勤修令不空。”

除了上面说的,他的根本的依据师承以外,还有大阿底峡尊者其他的地方也说。那下面呢?引证其他的一些论典来说明同样的内容。你要想得到无上不可思议的大菩提果,那么它根本在什么呢?根本在修行,而修行的重心就是菩提心。那么这个菩提心靠什么呢?是靠我们得到极难得的暇满人身。这个暇满人身,意义是非常重大而又这么难得,所以现在得到了要赶快努力啊,绝对不要让它白白浪费呀,白白浪费啊,那以后就很难得。
