【Further Meditation on Suffering】- the chances of one going to the upper realms is very, very slim

【The Friendly Letter:510  
They must take leave of the divine worlds.  
If their merit has run out,  
Then, powerless, they will become  
Animals, hungry ghosts, or denizens of hell.  】

After one dies in the heavens, if there are no more merits left, he will have no power to control, no power to control but to follow according to his karma.  That's when one will fall to become an animal.  In the earlier chapter on taking refuge, there was a deity who had the five signs of death.  The deities have supernatural powers.  They can foresee where they would go after death.  As he looked, he was about to fall to lower realms.  Ah!  In general, the chances of one going to the upper realms is very, very slim.  Most of the beings, most of the beings will fall to lower realms.  This comparison is not 99% versus 1%.  This has been mentioned very clearly in the scriptures.  It is the quantity of earth on a toenail in proportion to the whole earth in the world.  It is that frightening!  Hence, there is nothing good about the heavens!

希求解脱 : 上升的机会少之又少

【如云：“从天世间死殁已，设若全无少余善，彼无自在往旁生，饿鬼地狱随一处。”】

从天上死了，如果没有善的话，他自己没有力量的，没有力量，还是随业而转，到那时候堕落到畜生当中。上面我们曾经说过的，皈依当中那个羯摩那法天子他五衰相现，天人有这个神通的，死了以后可以看看到哪里去，一看，要堕落。啊！这个一般来说，上升的机会少之又少，堕落的情况极大部分、极大部分。这个比数不是说百分之九十九跟百分之一的比哦，经上说得很清楚，说大地土跟爪上土这样，这样的可怕法呀！所以那个天上是一无是处呀！
