【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】Have interest in the next life 求下一世

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Have interest in the next life

What we really have to do now is exactly this.  Hence the path that is shared with the persons of small capacity is the most fundamental of all. If for all the things in this life, you cannot let go or see through them, then to claim that you take interest in future lives will just be empty words, will just be empty words!  The real interest as a person on the path that is shared with the persons of the small capacity is to obtain high status in the next life. But there is a special meaning to this next life [that we so seek], a special meaning to that!   On the surface it would appear as though you have an interest in the next life.  But when you get to your next life, in that next life you are still interested for the life after.  In the life after, you are still interested for the life after that!  The real meaning of it is right here.  What is the very last "next life"?  That is when you become a Buddha.  This is what we should understand.

业果 : 求下一世

目前我们真正要做的就是这个,所以共下士这个是最基本的。假定说你对于现世的这个一切,放不下、看不破的话,那所谓的希求后世,那都是空话,那都是空话!而这个共下士真正要的增上生,是求下一世,这个下一世有它特别意义哦,特别意义哦!从表面上看来下一世,你真的到了下一世,下一世还是求下一世,下一世还是求下一世哦!这个真正的意义在这里。到最后那个下一世什么呢?就是佛,这是我们应该了解的。
