【The Origin of Suffering】- importance of establishing the correct views (2)

The scriptures have explained this to us in many instances that if you can establish the correct view, by then, eh, even if you cannot perfectly uphold ethical discipline, rituals, and livelihood, but you will not fall, will not fall into the miserable realms. You will be reborn as a naga. Amongst the six realms, other than being a human, nagas are the only ones who can actually cultivate. And their circumstances are not that miserable. Of course nagas do have their own sufferings. But the nagas have a special quality that is better than human's, they have superknowledge. They have this advantage. And then when the next Buddha appears here in the world, or the Buddha after, at some point during the time of the 1000 Buddhas in the noble eon, you will most definitely be liberated. How excellent is that! If you do not walk on this path, not to mention the time frame of the 1000 Buddhas in the noble eon, you will forever whirl in cyclic existence for immeasurable eons. And you will spend a greater portion of that time in hell. You can't even try to compare these two scenarios! This is what we need to understand. This is the real concept [that we need to know].

希求解脱 : 建立正知见的重要 2

所以经上面很多地方告诉我们，假定你能够把正知见建立起来的话，那个时候，欸，你虽然尸罗、轨则、净命一下不能圆满哪，但是你不会堕落，不会堕落恶道，将来感生龙中。龙是六道当中除了人以外，它的的确确能够修行的一个，而且它也不是太苦；龙当然有龙的苦，但是龙还有比人强的神通，有这样的好处。然后等到下一个佛出世的时候，或者再下一个佛出世，贤劫千佛当中，你一定有解脱，那个何等好啊！如果你不走这条路的话，岂只贤劫千佛，无量劫永远轮转，而且极大部分在地狱里边，这两个当中比是完全不能比啊！这我们要了解的，这个是真正的概念。
