【Mindfulness of Death】- What is “The actual way to take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity”?
So before we begin learning the small scope, chapter 8 is about “the actual way to take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity.” Sure, taking full advantage of this leisure and opportunity human form and quickly apply the teaching! The author did not ask you to start immediately, wow, every day you have to prostrate to Buddha how many hundred times, every day you have to chant Buddha’s name how many times. Well, first one has to recognize the entire systematic order of the path of cultivation, once you have this recognition, then find your own feasible starting point and begin to practice. Thus, up to this point, it is the “actual way to take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity.” Well, we are about to begin the actual application! Now, the text begins the actual session [of the three scopes].
【The actual way to take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity
The actual way to take full advantage of a life of leisure and opportunity is presented in three sections:
1. Training the mind in the stages of the path shared with persons of small capacity
2. Training the mind in the stages of the path shared with persons of medium capacity
3. Training the mind in the stages of the path shared with persons of great capacity】

Therefore,stages of the path shared with persons of small capacity, there are stages of path shared with persons of medium capacity and also stages of the path shared with persons of great capacity.The stages of the path is as such. We will steadily move up the path sequentially.
