【Reflecting on your Future Life 三恶趣苦】After death, you will be reborn

【Reflecting on your Future Life】- After death, you will be reborn

【b' Contemplating what will occur in your future life: the happiness or suffering of the two types of beings】

This is what we should understand. Where will we go after death? Will you go to a good or a bad place? This is something we need to understand correctly.

【Since it is certain that you will die soon as previously mentioned, you cannot remain in this life. As you do not cease to exist after death, you will be reborn.】

Here it comes! Ah, since now you [know you] are certain to die, and you will die very quickly. Not only will you die very quickly, at the time of death, with whatever things you possess now, at the moment of death, it’s like a dream. Ah! It is entirely meaningless. We don’t even need to wait until the moment of death. We can take a look now and think back on the last few decades of your life, what is left from the earlier parts of your life? Ah! Nothing. It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, this is absolutely the truth. If you understand this point, you won’t have to wait until death. This is the situation at death, isn’t it? It is just like this. Therefore, once you understand it, you won’t be busy doing things for the present! Well then we would begin to talk about what comes later. What comes later? Sorry! Later does not mean that there is nothing after death, it continues onward.

三恶趣苦 : 死后仍须受生

【第二思惟后世当生何趣，二趣苦乐者。】

这个是我们应该了解的。死了以后到哪里去？去的地方是好、是坏？这个我们应该正确地认识。

【如是决定速死没故，于现法中无暇久居，然死而后亦非断无，仍须受生，】

来了！啊，现在既然现在是决定要死，而且这么快地死，不但这么快地死，等到你死的时候，不管你眼前得到的所有的东西，到临终的时候，像梦一样。啊！一点意思都没有。我们不必说等到临终，这眼前现在想一想，说回想几十年的人生，以前的人生留下来什么？唉！一无所有。不管你年轻也好、年老也好，这千真万确的事实。你了解了这一点哪，不要等到死，那死的时候就是这个情况，不是吗？就是这样。所以说这样了解了，啊，你就不会忙这个现在啦！那么谈以后，这个以后呢？对不起！以后并不是说死掉了，没有了，它还要继续地向前。
