【Reflecting on your Future Life】- suffering is the root cause to exhort us to practice I

Here we can go back and take a look. When we become mindful of death and mindful of leisure and opportunity, they are extremely effective in exhorting us to practice. What is the reason that they exhort us? This still boils down to these two words, happiness and suffering. Think about it, isn’t it right? Beginning from leisure and opportunity, we understand that all beings wish to achieve happiness and alleviate suffering. In order to alleviate sufferings and achieve happiness, it can only be achieved through cultivation. Like that. Well then cultivation must depend on having a human body of leisure and opportunity. Thus, the meaning of having a human body of leisure and opportunity becomes very significant (of great importance). Through this you can then understand what is the root reason that leisure and opportunity can exhort us to practice? It is still suffering!

三恶趣苦 : 苦为策动修行的根本因 I

我们在这地方也回过头来可以看一看，我们念死、念暇满，它是对我们有策励修行的绝大的功效，可是它所以策励的原因，为什么？还是苦乐两个字，想想看，对不对？从暇满开始，就体会到一个事情，说一切人大家都要求快乐，要去掉痛苦，而要去掉痛苦得到快乐，也只有修行，这样。那么修行必定要依靠这个暇满的人身，所以这个暇满的人身就显得意义很重大。从这个里边你可以体会到，这个暇满人身，所以能够策励我们修行的话，它根本在哪里？还是苦啊！
