【 Reflecting on your Future Life 三恶趣苦】Strive to practice even more if karmic obscuration is weighty 业障重更拼命修行
【Reflecting on your Future Life】- Strive to practice even more if karmic obscuration is weighty
Thus after you understand that your karmic obscuration is weighty, you will strive even more, and work even harder. This is absolutely the truth! This then is really having reached a correct understanding. After understanding it correctly, this is the inevitable result! Once you understand this point, you will then try even harder to find methods to resolve this problem and exhort yourself to practice. Therefore, after all that is said, the most important concept overall is that our view is skewed, we have not obtained the correct view. This is the foremost important issue in cultivation.
Therefore earlier we talked about hell, next would be hungry ghosts, then animals. This is what we should strive to observe. When we see the sufferings of the miserable realms, what should we do now? “Eliminate the causes of these,” we should eliminate the non-virtuous causes, purify our obscurations and then work hard at accumulating the collections of merits, to engage in all kinds of virtues. If you wish to purify obscurations and practice to accumulate all kinds of virtuous karma, you will have to rely on a human life of leisure and opportunity. Yet today, you have obtained it. Therefore, this is the time when you need to quickly strive, “diligently stop the causes of miserable rebirths!” When you stop the causes of miserable rebirths, it is the time that you are creating virtuous karma. This is what Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, what Nagarjuna Bodhisattva tells us.

三恶趣苦 : 业障重更拼命修行
所以你了解了业障重是更应该拼命,更应该努力,这是千真万确的事实啊!这个才是正确的认识,有了正确的认识以后,必然的结果啊!当你了解了这一点,你就更努力去想办法找这个问题,然后策动自己修行。所以说来说去,整个的重要的观念就在我们知见不正,没有得到正知见,这是修行第一重要的一个问题。
所以刚才说地狱,下面呢饿鬼,然后呢畜生,这个是我们应该努力观察的。看见了他们这个恶道当中的苦,现在应该怎么办呢?“断彼因”,应该断那个恶因,净除罪障,然后呢努力地积聚资粮,行种种的善。要想净除罪障,修行种种的善净之业啊,必定要靠暇满的人身,而今天、现在居然得到了,所以这个时候啊,赶快要拼命努力,“励断恶趣因”哪!当你断恶趣因的时候,就是善净之业造起来的时候。这个是龙猛菩萨,龙树菩萨告诉我们的。
