【Mindfulness of Death 念死无常】The medicinal power of our food and such is weak 饮食等药，势力微劣

【Mindfulness of Death】- The medicinal power of our food and such is weak

【Because this is a time when the five impurities are rapidly spreading, there are extremely few persons who accumulate the great power of virtuous deeds that enables a long life. 】

What is the current state of our present era? It is a time when the five impurities are rapidly spreading. Therefore most of the various karma we have created are damaging and those who can really practice virtuous deeds that enable a long life or accumulate the great-power karma is extremely few, extremely few! By great-power karma, we mean the karma that can increase our efficacy and enable a long life.

【Also, since the medicinal power of our food and such is weak, we have little resistance to disease. 】

Even for food and drink, their effect is weakening and same for medicine etc. Therefore, we have little resistance to disease.

念死无常 : 饮食等药，势力微劣

【现是五浊极浓厚时，修集能感长寿久住大势妙业，极其稀寡。】

目前这个状态，什么状态？五浊恶世非常浓厚的时候，非常浓厚的时候。所以我们造的种种业，这损减啊，极大部分都损减；而真正地修行善法，而能够感得长寿，能够感得“大势”这种—所谓大势力，就是说能够增强我们这个功效，能够使得寿命延长这种业，非常少、非常少，非常少、非常少！

【饮食等药，势力微劣，故皆少有能治病力，】

乃至于饮食这种东西，它这个效果也都在减少当中，药等等都是如此，所以这个治病的力量都减少。
