【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Every day an achiever would emerge?

From here, we experience one thing: the reason back then in India the teachings were like the sun at high noon, even as perfect as Venerable Atisha, he stated that every day an achiever would emerge, what is the cause? It was due to this encompassing teaching. So what about the present time? These stages represent the entire content of the perfect teaching: in terms of quality it may not be available; in terms of quantitative measurement it still may not necessarily be applicable. While speaking of the stages, if one emphasizes the stages and leave out quality and quantity, then there is no accessibility to this stage. One claims, “I am cooking rice now.” Without rice [the quality], what can you cook? At that time, if the rice is not yet washed, what can you do about it? So this [quality, quantity, and systematic order] has to be complete and all encompassing, thus Venerable Atisha can achieve such a perfect accomplishment. Hence for now, this is what we should have a true understanding of.

道次引导 : 为何每天都有成就者出现？

所以在印度当年的教法如日中天，乃至于像阿底峡尊者那个时候这么圆满。阿底峡尊者说每天有一个成就者出现，他原因何在？就是有这个圆满的教法。那么现在呢？这个次第正表示圆满教法的全部内容—单单讲质，不一定有；有了量，还不一定有；讲到次第的话，如果你谈次第，没有质跟量，那个次等根本无从谈起。你说：“我现在烧饭了。”米没有你烧什么？跑到那个时候，说还没洗好，你作什么？所以这个一定是样样东西圆满，所以他能够有这样的一个圆满的成就。那么目前对我们来说，我们真正要想认识了解的就是这个。
