【The Six Types of Suffering 希求解脱】When you are born, you are born by yourself. When you die, you die by yourself. 生时独自生,死时还独死

【The Six Types OF Suffering】- When you are born, you are born by yourself. When you die, you die by yourself.

In regard to having no companions, Engaging in the Bodhisattva Deeds says:
This body comes forth whole, yet
The bones and flesh that accompany it
Will break apart and
disperse. As this is so, Why
mention others, such as loved ones?
You are born alone.
Also you die alone.
As others cannot share your suffering,
Of what use is the hindrance of loved ones?

This body, when it is born, "This body comes forth whole." This is how the body is born. And then you would always feel, "Ah, this should be 'me' after all! I'm sorry, when it breaks apart, I'm sorry, it will just break apart, just break apart. All the friends and families and so on that you have now, no one can go with you, not a single person. You cannot take them withyou. This is the situation. Therefore, there are no companions. When you are born, you are born by yourself. When you die, you die by yourself. They cannot go in place of us. So why should we hinder each other? That is why we should help each other here. That's what is real. We should take advantage of this rare opportunity to help each other. This is what we really need. There will be great benefits if we help each other and it will be meaningless to hinder each other. What is truly reliable - to rely on the teaching, to rely on the Sangha community. Then it's right. Other than these, there is nothing else. "Having no companion," firmly remember this!

希求解脱 : 生时独自生,死时还独死

下面说,论上面告诉我们:


如《入行论》云:“独生此一身,俱生诸骨肉,坏时尚各散,何况余亲友。生时独自生,死时还独死,他不取苦分,何须作障亲。”

这个身体,生—独生此一身,这个身体生来嘛也就是。然后呢这个自己觉得:唉呀,这个总是“我”吧!对不起,坏的时候,对不起,这个东西也是坏掉了,坏掉了。眼前的亲友等等没有一个人跟你,没有一个人,这个东西带不走,这样的情况。所以没有什么好伴,生的时候自己生,死的时候还自己死,他不能替代我们,何必互相障碍?所以我们现在在这个地方互相帮助,这是真正的,难得趁着这个机会互相帮助,这个才是我们真正需要的。互相帮助有大利益,互相障碍毫无意思。真正可靠的—靠法、靠僧,这个才对。除此以外其他的没有,“无伴”,记牢这个!
