【Reflecting on your Future Life】- Sufferings of the miserable realms

*l' Contemplating the suffering of hell denizens*

Well then within the sufferings, the sufferings of the miserable realms can be divided into three parts: the suffering of hell denizens, animals, and hungry ghosts. The suffering of hell denizens can be further divided into four parts:

*a" Contemplating the suffering of the great hells of living beings
b" Contemplating the suffering of the adjoining hells
c" Contemplating the suffering of the cold hells
d" Contemplating the suffering of the occasional hells*

Now here the text will explain it one by one, explain it one by one. Regarding this portion on hell, I think I won’t go into detail here. This is something everyone will want to look over thoroughly. You want to look over it thoroughly yourself.

Well then when you formally begin to practise, this portion is very important. When you formally begin to practice, you might want to look over this carefully. When you first look at it, it may be a little vague for you. At that time, you need to make sure you understand it. After you understand it, then when you formally practice, with whatever that you concord with, then upon that, you contemplate and analyze that particular suffering. At that time, what would develop in your mind stream? You will develop an extremely great feeling of being threatened by this suffering. Ah! You will feel the threat of suffering, and you will feel like you can’t take this threat. At this time, an extremely powerful force will compel you to practise.

三恶趣苦 : 思维地狱苦

那么这个苦当中，恶趣苦分三部分—地狱、畜生、饿鬼。那么地狱里边，又分成功四部分：

【初中分四： ① 大有情地狱，② 近边地狱，③ 寒冰地狱，④ 独一地狱。今初】

这个现在呢一个、一个来说下去，一个、一个来说下去。关于这个地狱的部分，我想我不在这里详细说了，这个大家自己好好地看一下，自己好好地看一下。那么正式修行的时候，这个很重要的。正式要开始修行的时候，你们不妨仔细地去看。第一次看，也许看得模模糊糊，那时候你一定要弄懂它。弄懂了以后，然后你正式修行的时候，跟你什么相应的，你在这个事上面哪，思惟观察那个苦，思惟观察那个苦。那时候你会身心上面产生一种什么？产生一种绝大的苦逼感，啊！你觉得这个苦逼感，逼得你就受不了这种感觉。这个时候就一个绝大的力量，会推动你去修行。
