【 Reflecting on your Future Life 三恶趣苦】Think first, what if you go to the miserable realms? 先想：万一到恶趣...

【Reflecting on your Future Life】- Think first, what if you go to the miserable realms?

Perhaps some people might ask, “Eh, why don’t we think about the happy realms first? It’s possible that we go to the happy realms.” This does make sense. However we need to know that for anything, “if you prepare ahead, you will be successful.” If you prepare ahead, there is no wrong in that. When we really prepare, we always prepare for what could go wrong. The good things are what you [wish and] supplicate for anyway, right? No need to prepare. Why prepare for it? What we should really prepare for is the worst case scenarios. That’s what’s really important. This is very plain and clear. Therefore the same goes here, you prepare to not end up going somewhere bad. If you are well prepared for this, then in the future you will only go to good places. To go to the good places, it is what you hope for! Therefore you needn’t worry about that ahead of time, what you should really worry about is, oh, you want to avoid going to a bad place. Therefore, over here it speaks of the bad first.

三恶趣苦 : 先想：万一到恶趣...

也许有人问：“欸，为什么不先想善趣啊？我们有可能到善趣。”这个话是有道理，但是我们要了解啊，任何一件事情，说“凡事豫则立”，你事先预备了，总是没有错。我们真正预备的时候，总先把坏的预备好，好的本来是你祈求的，对不对？不必预备，你预备它干什么？我们真正预备的应该预备坏的东西，那个才是真正重要的。这个很清楚、很明白。所以现在这里同样的，你先预备不要到坏的地方去，你如果这个预备好了，那么将来只有到好的地方。到好的地方去，这个是你所期望的嘛！所以你不必事先去担忧，真正要担忧的话，喔，避免到坏的地方去，所以这个地方先讲坏的。
