【Further Meditation on Suffering】- pleasant feelings are the relief of suffering 6

Other than those, "drink or eat, or stand in the sun or shade," when you are thirsty, you will drink. When you are hungry, you will eat. When you are cold, you need the sun. When the sun is beating down, you need shade. Everything is just like that. When you are cold, you need to bask in the sun. When the sun gets too strong, you cannot tolerate it either. If basking in the sun produces happiness, then the more you bask the happier you should get! But that is not the case. There are no exceptions to this. Even for drink & food, you should try eating! Ah! When you get to the end of [continual] eating, you feel so miserable from eating. In the end, not only do you have digestive problems, but that you have lost your appetite. There is not anything that is an exception to this! Hence, what are all of these things? They are just a "relief of suffering." From here, we will recognize, oh, the intrinsic quality of this pleasure is actually fake; it is merely a "relief of suffering." This point is very important, very important! It is very important, very important! Hence, in this situation,

【However, it is clear that if you do any of these for too long, suffering is all that results. 】

As long as you do anything for too long, the end result is always suffering, always suffering.

希求解脱 : 乐受是苦的渐熄灭位 6

除了这个以外，“饮食日阴”，当你渴的时候—饮；饿的时候是食；寒的时候是日；日的时候是阴，都是这个样。啊！说今天冷了，晒晒太阳，然后呢太阳越来越大，你又受不了了。假定晒太阳是快乐的，应该越晒越快乐啊！又不是，没有一个例外的。乃至于饮食，你倒吃吃看！唉呀，吃到后来，吃得难受得不得了，到后来不但是肚子吃坏了，你胃口也没有了，没有一样不是这样的！所以所有的这些事情都是什么？都是苦的渐息灭位。从这个上面我们就认得，哦，原来这个乐的本质是虚妄的，只是苦的渐息灭位，这一点非常重要、非常重要！非常重要、非常重要！所以在这一种状态啊，

【现见太久唯生苦故。】

你只要弄久了，结果总是苦，总是苦。
