【Reflecting on your Future Life】- make your leisure and opportunity meaningful every day

【You currently have a good life for developing the path. Consequently, if you contemplate in this way, you will clear away previously accrued non-virtuous karma and deter your future accumulations.】

The reason we can listen to the teaching and contemplate accordingly is because we have obtained this life of leisure and opportunity, and now is exactly the time that we possess this virtuous life of leisure and opportunity. While you have this life of leisure and opportunity, you can contemplate in accordance with the teaching. If so, you can clear away previously accrued non-virtuous karma, decrease or even deter your future accumulations. Then you will no longer be reborn in [the miserable realms]!

【Your prayers of fervent aspiration will redirect previously accrued virtues, causing them to increase. You will be able to enter many new avenues for engaging in virtuous actions. Therefore, you will make your leisure and opportunity meaningful every day.】

As for the non-virtuous karma? You clear it away and deter [future] accumulations. As for the virtuous karma? The previously accrued virtues will be increased because of your fervent aspiration and dedication. As for now and in the future, you will strive to increase virtues. In this way, we will be utilizing this difficult to obtain body of leisure and opportunity every moment, every day for cultivation. That’s when this body of leisure and opportunity produces the greatest efficiency.

三恶趣苦 : 日日中使暇身具足义利

【现得善身，若如是思，能净先作，未来减少。】

而所以我们能够这样地听闻正法、如理思惟，都是靠得到暇满的人身。而我们现在正是得到这样的贤善的暇满人身的时候，那么你趁得到这个暇满人身，能够这样如理思惟的话，那先以前作的，你能够把它净除，未来的也从此减少，乃至于切断。那么你就不会再去啦！

【先所作善，由猛欲乐，发愿令转增长繁多。诸当新作堪能趣入，则日日中能使暇身具足义利。】

坏事呢？或者净除，或者减少。好事呢？以前已经做的，由于现在的猛利的欲乐回向了增长；而现在当下以及将来，你更努力地增长去做。这样一来，我们每天每时都在利用这个难得的暇满人身去修行，这个时候这个暇满的人身就产生了绝大的功效。
