【The Origin of Suffering】- can the intermediate state change its state?

【A being of the intermediate state that is to be reborn as a deity, for instance, may die after seven days and either again reach the intermediate state of a deity or else reach the intermediate state of a human or some other form. This is possible because a change in its karma can transform the seeds for its intermediate state. The same holds for other beings of the intermediate state as well.】

For a being of the intermediate state that is to be reborn as a deity, he may die after seven days and again reach the intermediate state of a deity. But the text goes on to say that a being with the intermediate body of a deity can reach the intermediate state of a human. This is because another force has transformed it. But it was said earlier that a being cannot change the intermediate state form. Generally speaking, this is not within reasons, one should not be able to change the intermediate state form, should not be able to change the intermediate state form. However, if there are some special circumstances, just like what I said earlier, there could be some special circumstances. Then a being may be able to change the intermediate state form. As for what is said here, we now understand this. This is what we needed to explain.

希求解脱 : 中有是否能转换到其他道？

【如天中有七日死已，或仍生为彼天中有，或转成办人等中有，谓由余业转变势用，能转中有诸种子故，余亦如是。】

天当中，中有七天死了以后，仍旧转天中的中有。他下面又说这个天中的中有可以转成功人中的中有的，因为其他的力量转变，可是前面又说不能转。真正说一般这个地方说不应理，说不能转，是不能转，但是如果有特别的，像刚才说遇见这种特别的因缘的话，他可能转。这个照这个地方说，我们现在是了解的，我们要说明的。
