【Reflecting on your Future Life】- Want to pursue happiness and yet end up finding hell

What is the reason for creating all kinds of bad karma and not being able to practice, why? You are pursuing happiness! Sorry! You want to pursue happiness! Yet, in the end, it is hell that is waiting for you. Therefore, the reason you’ve been pursuing happiness but end up finding hell is due to nothing other than the karma you’ve created for yourself. Even Yama, anyone, even Buddha cannot do anything about that. They absolutely cannot add sufferings to you. Well then why do you create that kind of karma? Ignorance. To really remedy this, there is only one method for it. Learn the teachings, rely on the excellent Teacher, obtain the correct view, then you are able to turn it around. This concept is very important. Therefore, he tells us later that for the beings that fall into the realm, they may be looking for a place to live, or looking for a place of happiness, but when they enter, ah! As soon as they enter, it’s over!

三恶趣苦 : 要找快乐，结果找到地狱

我们所以现在造种种恶业不能修行的原因，为什么？找快乐嘛！对不起，你要找快乐，结果前面是地狱等在这里。所以你要找快乐，找到地狱的原因哪—没有别的，阎罗王、任何人乃至佛也莫奈何，绝不可能他把那个苦加在你身上，还是你自己造的业。那你为什么要造那业呢？无明。要想真正地对治只有一个办法—学习佛法，依靠善知识，得到正知见，然后就转过来，这个概念很重要。所以他下面告诉我们，那些有情下去的时候，他说或者找住的地方，要找快乐的地方，结果跑下去，啊！一跑进去，就完了！
