【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】I am the worst foolish person 我是个大愚痴人

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- I am the worst foolish person

This is why it kept telling us previously that we are already foolish enough. If you keep on going, there will be nothing else you can do [for yourself]! Thus the only opportunity now is to immediately recognize, " Ah, I am awful. I must quickly strive!" In your every single thought, constantly remember this, "I am the worst foolish person!" And then wholeheartedly venerate the Three Jewels. You will tell yourself to strive. Do not use the teachings to keep looking at others' faults. It is for you to examine yourself. You will then liberate yourself one step at a time.

Thus in the very beginning, the text told us "the six ideas" as principles. We took faith in that and can more or less practice it. Now that we are here, after these concepts are clearly explained, you will naturally, ah, [think that it is] absolutely true! If you take this concept and contemplate it further, when you develop a conviction, that's when this will become very powerful. You will then be improving at every given moment, be ascending, be purifying.

业果 : 我是个大愚痴人

所以前面一再告诉我们,我们现在的愚痴到这地方已经够啦,你再下去是一点办法都没有了啦!所以唯一的现在的机会是赶快晓得:唉呀,现在我太差,赶快努力啊!心心念念记着“我是个大愚痴人哪!”然后呢一心恭敬这个三宝,说努力啊,不要拿着这个法老去看别人不是,要拿来检查自己,你就自己一步一步透脱了。

所以最前面刚开始的时候,告诉我们“具六想”是原则,那是我们信得过,多多少少可以做。到了现在这里,这个道理说得清楚了以后,你自然而然,啊,千真万确!如果说你把这个道理再深入思惟的时候,你产生了胜解了以后,那个时候就非常有力,你就时时刻刻在进步、在上升、在净化。
