【The Eight Types of Suffering】- Our Ultimate Enemy in Cyclic Existence

When you understand the attributes of the appropriated aggregates, that’s the time you would develop great disenchantment. Otherwise, what do we busy ourselves with all day long? We would be busy with this thing. But in reality, this is our ultimate enemy in cyclic existence, our ultimate enemy in cyclic existence! Hence the Buddha repeatedly tells us that there is nothing good about this thing, there is nothing good about this thing! What is the only benefit? We take advantage of this thing to practice Dharma. Because of this, in order to practice, you have to eat and live somewhere. But what do you do for the food? You would go out for alms. You would get just enough to fill your stomach. As for accommodation, ah, you can live anywhere. Even a night under the tree would do. But what we have now is far beyond that. It is because we don't recognize this, so we devote particular care to this all day long. We devote particular care to this all day long. Since we devote much care to this, all the afflictions arise from that, all the afflictions arise from that!

希求解脱 : 生死根本冤家

你认得了这个取蕴的特质以后，那个时候你才会产生大厌离，要不然我们一天到晚就忙什么？忙这个东西。实际上呢这个才是我们的生死根本怨家，生死根本怨家！所以佛一再告诉我们，这个东西是一无是处，一无是处啊！这唯一的好处是什么？凑现在这个东西能够修行。因为这样的关係，所以你为了修行，你还逼不得已地要吃的、要住的。那吃怎么办？去讨饭，讨到什么只要塞饱肚子就行；住呢，唉呀，你哪里都可以，树下一宿就得。现在我们呢远不止此，因为我们不认识，所以一天到晚就讲究这个东西，一天到晚讲究这个。因为讲究这个呢，一切的烦恼是由此而生，一切烦恼由此而生！
