【 Reflecting on your Future Life 三恶趣苦】 I will stare, aghast, and search all around for a refuge. 睁其恐惧眼，四方觅皈依
【Reflecting on your Future Life】- I will stare, aghast, and search all around for a refuge.
【And also:
Saying, "Who will protect me
From this great terror?"
I will stare, aghast,
And search all around for a refuge.
Seeing no refuge anywhere,
I will be completely dejected.
If there is no refuge there,
What will I do?】
This says that once you really fall [into the miserable realms], at that time of course, you will be looking [for refuge]. Ah, amidst this great terror and great suffering, you will be searching for someone, “who can help me?” You will be searching everywhere but you won’t be able to find one anywhere, you won’t find one anywhere [to help you]. Therefore at that time, ah, no one can protect you, no one to depend on. What can you do then? “What will I do?” By that time, it’s too late. By that time, it’s too late!
【Thus, from today, I go for refuge
To the Conqueror, protector of living beings,
The one who strives to rescue living beings,
The mighty one who dispels all fear.】
Therefore, while it’s not too late, you must diligently strive. Strive to do what? Go for refuge to all the Buddhas. Buddhas are whom all sentient beings can depend on. This is so for the self, and then you will need to consider how others also are in the same situation as you. You will still need to help all sentient beings be freed from this. This is the time then! This is the time we can rescue ourselves and all sentient beings from this bitter ocean of unparallel suffering and immense terror.

三恶趣苦 : 睁其恐惧眼，四方觅皈依
【又云：“谁从此大畏，能善救护我，睁其恐惧眼，四方觅皈依，见四方无依，次乃偏迷闷，彼处非有依，尔时我何为。】
说等到你一旦真的堕落了以后，到那时候当然哪，你就找—哎呀，那时候这样的大恐怖、大痛苦当中啊，去找什么人能够来救我啊？你到处去找啊，但是到处都找不到，到处都找不到。所以那个时候，唉呀，你没有可以救护你，作为你依靠的，你能做些什么呢？“尔时我何为”呀！到那时候来不及了，到那时候来不及了！
【故自今皈依，诸佛众生怙，勤救众生事，大力除诸畏。”】
所以，现在趁来得及的时候好好地努力呀—努力干什么？皈依诸佛，诸佛才是我们一切众生所依靠的地方。自己是这样，然后呢推己及人，还要救一切众生同样脱离。然后这个时候啊！才把我们以及一切众生从这个无比的痛苦、大怖畏的苦海当中救出来。
