【The Varieties of Karma】- the most perfect and wonderful tool for learning Buddhism

Therefore, in order to have the full qualifications of having all good qualities, to complete this unsurpassed path, to have Bodhisattva-knowledge of all things in their proper discrimination until finally having Buddha-knowledge, or perfect knowledge of all things in their every aspect and relationship past, present, and future, you will certainly depend on what? [Translator note: This sentence that talks about bodhisattva-knowledge is in the Chinese text, but not the English text.] The best way is to rely on "a body and mind that are fully qualified." Otherwise, if you cannot obtain this, by just having a regularly human body, when you train, you are still very, very slow, very, very slow. Not only are you slow, due to this slowness, sometimes there could be all sorts of obstacles and so on. So with one mishap, something could go very wrong for you!

Therefore this place tells us, for us who are truly training in the teachings, we should strive to possess the 
most perfect and wonderful tool for learning Buddhism.

业果 : 最美妙完整的修行工具

所以说，要想能够有一个圆具各种德相，能修无上佛道，“种智”，这个种智就是所谓从道种智到一切智，也可以说拿一切智—佛的智慧，是必然要依靠什么？最好的“胜所依者”。否则的话呢，你得不到这个，虽然也得到的人身，但是做起来是非常、非常地慢，非常、非常地慢。不但是慢，那么还有因为慢的过程，所以这个时候外面有各式各样的障碍什么等等，一个不小心，又走出错了！

所以在这个地方告诉我们，我们真正要修学佛法的人，应该努力地怎么样把修学佛法所使用的工具，具足最美妙完整的。
