【Mindfulness of Death 念死无常】the causes of staying alive are themselves causes of death 活缘本身就是死缘

【Mindfulness of Death】- the causes of staying alive are themselves causes of death

Why do we want to interact with one another? To seek causes for living, to seek companionship, and yet when asked what is going on in his heart? That is, what you are doing at this very moment, it is a cause of death. Of course, this is the worldly mundane stuff. Right, we get along fine, I give you a meal treat today, or buy you a drink and we seek enjoyment at the pub. Why so? My hope is to earn a bit more money from you, dig a little more. Isn’t it evidently clear in this instance? The worldly friends are also as such, yet we are still busy doing these, this is upside down. Really is upside down, humankind is as such! But if you ask him to give up, it will be in vain! So people with their eyes open, head for the water and “jumped”! One word, if you contemplate on it, it is the truth right? Therefore, this is not Dharma. This is a reasoning we certainly do not understand. Thus, when we contemplate on it, we need to be well awakened, well awakened! As I think about this, the Dharma is so precious, indeed precious.

念死无常 : 活缘本身就是死缘

我们为什么要大家来往？这样，求活缘哪、求友伴啊，结果问他心里面到底做些什么？就是你做的当下本身，这个都是死缘。当然这是世间一般的，唉呀，大家好的啊，今天我请你吃、我请你喝、求乐啊去酒家！为什么？我希望从你地方多赚一点、多挖一点哪！不是很明白摆在这个地方吗？那世间的朋友就是这个样，大家还忙这个，这个颠倒啊！真是颠倒，人就是这个样啊！但是叫他放掉还放不掉！所以人就张开眼睛往水里“跳”！一个字，想想看，千真万确吧！所以，不是佛法呀，它的的确确我们不了解这个道理啊！所以我们想到这个地方，要好好地觉醒啊，好好地觉醒啊！想到这里，这佛法的珍贵，真是珍贵啊！
