【 Reflecting on your Future Life 三恶趣苦】Whether you will be reborn in the happy realms or the miserable realms in the future, can you make that decision for yourself? 投生善趣或恶趣，是否能做主？
【Reflecting on your Future Life】- Whether you will be reborn in the happy realms or the miserable realms in the future, can you make that decision for yourself?
【Furthermore, you will be reborn in either a happy or a miserable realm, because there is no birthplace other than among these two types of beings.】
In the future, where will you go? There are only two roads,only two roads to take: one leads to the happy realm and the other, the miserable realm. In the happy realm, you will enjoy happiness and in the miserable realm, you will bear suffering. That’s the way it is!
【Since you are controlled by your karma and cannot choose where you will be born, you will be reborn in the manner in which your virtuous and non-virtuous karma impel you to be reborn】
Well, then whether you will end up in the happy realms or the miserable realms in the future, can you make that decision for yourself? Sorry! You cannot decide for yourself. This is something that we clearly and plainly know, none of us can decide for ourselves. In fact, though we believe this, however, it seems we can’t feel it, and would say, “The time hasn’t come yet! The time hasn’t come yet!” This is true.How will we die at the time of death? Where will we go?Indeed, the time hasn’t come yet. However, this kind of experience is something we can experience right now. How can you experience it? Death, in our entire stream of life, is just a moment in time, and marking the end of a segment. Yet our whole life continues within this continuum of mind stream, flowing from a beginningless past to an endless future, it never stops.

三恶趣苦 : 投生善趣或恶趣，是否能做主？
【此复唯除二趣之外无余生处，谓生善趣或是恶趣。】
将来前面到哪里去？两条路，只有两条路：一条善、一条恶。善的受乐、恶的受苦，就是如此！
【于彼中生，非自自在，以是诸业他自在故，如黑白业牵引而生。】
那么，将来到善趣、恶趣当中去，是你做得了主吗？对不起！做不了主。这个我们很清楚、很明白，我们没有一个人做得了主。实际上我们虽然信得过，但是呢，我们好像无法体验，说：“还没到嘛！还没到嘛！”这倒是一个事实。死的时候到底怎么死？到哪里去？是还没到。可是这个经验，我们却是眼前哪就可以体会得到的。你说怎么个体会法？因为这个死亡在我们整个的人生之流当中，也就是一个刹那，也就是一个段落。而我们整个的人生，一直在这个相续之流当中，从无始以前流向无始以后，永远不停的。
