【Further Meditation on Suffering 希求解脱】vehicle of the human and deity = "the three-lifetime dilemma” 人天乘=三世怨

【Further Meditation on Suffering】- vehicle of the human and deity = "the three-lifetime dilemma”

Therefore, if you cannot relate to this, the Buddhism that you learn is only limited to the vehicle of the human and deity.  And another phrase to describe the vehicle of the human and deity would be "the three-lifetime dilemma."  Are you willing to engage in things that will result in the three-lifetime dilemma?  This is a point that we should especially understand and pay particularly attention to!  In particular now, there are too many people who are learning Buddhism who would say that Buddhism is good.  But what is so good about Buddhism? Ah, you will say that it tells you about birth, sickness, death...yes.  If we need others to tell you about these things, we are indeed too unintelligent!  Not to mention that when animals encounter suffering, they know to avoid it too.  We are humans, are we only to understand these as well?  This is the root of it.  We must pay attention to this!  

So now, we understand it. But it is not something that will work just after you understand it. This was said again and again earlier: as you understand it, though it is like that in theory, but as for how you feel about it, it is something very difficult for you to relate to.

希求解脱 : 人天乘=三世怨

所以说这个如果你感受不到的，所谓佛法始终最多就是人天乘，而人天乘我们另外一个名字来说它叫做三世怨，你愿意做那个三世怨的事情吗？这一点我们特别了解、特别注意！尤其是平常，我们太多人修学佛法，说是佛法好的，好在哪里？不一定知道。要修行，如何修行啊？从什么地方开始啊？啊，说世间是苦，苦在哪里呀？唉呀，说这个生、老、病、死，是，如果说这种事情还要人家来告诉你的话，我们实在太笨！不要说个动物它碰见这种痛苦，它也晓得避免，而我们作为一个人，难道要懂得的就懂得这一些吗？这个是它根本所在，我们务必在这个地方应该注意！

那么现在呢，了解到了，不是了解就行啊，前面一再说、一再说：这个认识，理论上虽然如此，但是呢眼前的感受上面，是你很难体会到的。
