【The Eight Types of Suffering 希求解脱】Where’s the happiness? 快乐在哪里？

【The Eight Types of Suffering】-Where’s the happiness?

With what you normally have for meals, you are very enthusiastic when you eat, but are you really happy? We might as well think about this calmly. We all have this problem - greediness. Ah, with the good stuff, you'll feel that the more the merrier prior to your meal. After you finish eating, ha, your

stomach becomes distended. When you try to sleep, you'll feel like something’s not right, [it’s the same] when you stand or when you lie down. Just like that. Did you really feel happy while eating?

When you were eating, you didn't feel really happy. I think all of us have had that kind of feeling. But you just did that with great enthusiasm. After eating, you become sleepy. And then when the time comes, you do the same again. Where’s the happiness? Ah, but strange enough, when the time comes, it will just let you do that. This is the true nature [of greediness].

The principles on how to stop afflictions, slowly learn it well. If you are able to cultivate according to the teachings, the afflictions will be restrained.

希求解脱 : 快乐在哪里？

你平常吃的东西，当你吃的时候吃得很起劲，你真的快乐吗？那大家不妨心平气和想想看。我们大家都有这个毛病——贪心，唉呀，好东西，事前是越多越好；吃完了以后，哈，肚子吃得胀胀的，睡在那里，站也不是、睡也不是，就这样。当时真的快乐吗？吃的时候并不觉得快乐耶，我想大家都有这个感觉。你是一个劲儿就在那个地方做那件事情，吃完了以后昏昏沉沉，然后到那个时候又要来了，快乐在哪里啊？欸，但是奇怪，它就偏偏到那个时候就让你去这样做，这个就是这个真正的行相。这个烦恼止息的道理，慢慢地好好地学。那么你能够如法地修学的话，这个就静息了。
