快乐啊!阿修罗天生就嫉妒天人的荣耀,所以心中总是非常不安。时时与天人争斗,但阿修罗的福德力量弱小,因此被杀、被殴打、肢体被砍断和劈开等等的痛苦非常多。大多数是黑方,所以不喜欢佛法。有些人即使信奉,也是业障深重,没有能力分辨好坏。那么,如果转生到欲界天,就会快乐吗?在那里也不快乐,因为无节制地享用欲望,生命耗尽也不自觉。此外,弱小的天人被强大的天人从住所驱逐,遭受痛苦。有些福德浅薄的天人,除了一把琵琶之外,什么用具也没有,非常贫穷。当他们看到其他富有的天人时,对自己的福德感到失望,心中的痛苦无法估量。特别是四大天王族和三十三天之处,与阿修罗战斗的痛苦非常大。所有欲界天人共同的痛苦是死亡和堕落的痛苦。天人在死亡前的七天会出现五种死亡的征兆:身体的颜色变得难看,心情忧郁,不喜欢自己的座位,花环装饰变得陈旧,衣服上沾染黑色的污垢,身体出汗。这些征兆出现时,各自的仆人和朋友们也会抛弃他们,去其他天人那里。虽然贪恋天人的享乐,但也知道无法避免地要分离,没有办法阻止。就像鼓槌丢失一样,就像龙被鹏鸟抓走一样,就像鱼被扔到沙滩上一样,就像在大海中央船只损坏一样的痛苦产生。时间长短是,如果按天人的七天来算,最短的四大天王族也要四百五十年。重要的是,痛苦的时间很长,所谓堕落的痛苦,天人在死亡之后,转生为天人的可能性微乎其微。转生为人的可能性也很小。大多数是转生到恶道。如是说:从天界转移之后,如果没有任何善的剩余,那么就会不由自主地进入……

Happy! Asuras are naturally jealous of the glory of the gods, so they always have great unease in their hearts. They fight with the gods from time to time, but the Asuras' power of merit is weak, so the suffering of being killed, beaten, limbs being cut off and split apart, etc., is very great. Most are on the dark side, so they do not like the Dharma. Even if some believe, they are burdened with karmic obscurations and have no ability to distinguish good from bad. So, if one is born in the desire realm heavens, will one be happy? There is also unhappiness there, because indulging in desires without restraint, one does not realize that life is being exhausted. Furthermore, the weaker gods are expelled from their abodes by the powerful ones, causing suffering. Some gods with little merit have nothing but a lute, and are very poor. When they see other wealthy gods, they are disappointed in their own merit, and the suffering in their hearts is immeasurable. In particular, in the realms of the Four Great Kings and the Thirty-Three Heavens, the suffering of fighting with the Asuras is very great. All the gods of the desire realm share the suffering of death and falling. For the gods, seven days before death, five signs of death appear: the color of the body becomes ugly, the mind becomes depressed, one dislikes one's seat, the garlands of flowers become withered, black dirt accumulates on the clothes, and sweat comes from the body. When these signs appear, their servants and male and female friends abandon them and go to other gods. Although they are attached to the pleasures of the gods, they know that they will inevitably be separated, and there is no way to prevent it. It is like losing a drumstick, like a Naga being carried away by a Garuda, like a fish being thrown onto the sand, like a ship being wrecked in the middle of the great ocean. The length of time is, if calculated in terms of the gods' seven days, the shortest, even for the Four Great Kings, is four hundred and fifty years. The important thing is that the duration of suffering is long. The so-called suffering of falling, after the gods die, the possibility of being reborn as a god is very slim. The possibility of being born as a human is also very small. Most are born in the lower realms. As it is said: After transferring from the realm of the gods, if there is no remaining merit, then one will involuntarily enter...

去往饿鬼道,或者无论身处地狱。如是说。诸天以其神通了知死后将转生何处,即使转生为人,也无法满足欲望,并视其为充满痛苦。如果转生到三恶道,得知必须承受那里的痛苦,心中便会产生无法忍受的痛苦。我认为三恶道的身体痛苦比他们的精神痛苦更大。第二十七次观修。 如果转生到上界的诸天,会感到快乐吗?并非如此。在上界,凡夫俗子看来没有明显的痛苦,但在圣者看来,它并没有超出行苦的本质。由于他们沉迷于禅定,凡夫俗子无法提升自己的品质。由于他们品尝着禅定的滋味,他们无法摆脱这种有滋味的禅定,并且由于这种禅定,他们会失去各自的禅定而死去。特别是,所有居住在那里的凡夫俗子,当他们过去业力的牵引耗尽时,他们会再次转生到欲界。过去,当他们还是人类时,他们修持世间的禅定,那时,他们似乎在无色界的禅定中感到舒适和放松,但他们并没有获得任何信心,也没有退步到普通人,而是变得更加烦恼和痛苦。我认为这样的事情没有任何意义。第二十八次观修。 第二,思维一切轮回皆是痛苦。 前行等如前,从地狱道的痛苦开始,直到饿鬼、畜生、人、阿修罗、欲界天、色界和无色界天,都是如此痛苦。三界轮回皆是三种、六种或八种等痛苦的本质,充满痛苦,并被痛苦所包围。痛苦如火般燃烧,如水般汹涌,如风般飘荡,如山般压迫。无论身处何处,都是痛苦之地。身体如何

Going to the realm of the pretas, or wherever one dwells in hell. Thus it is said. The gods, with their clairvoyance, know where they will be reborn after death, and even if they are reborn as humans, they are not satisfied with desire and see it as full of suffering. If they are reborn in the three lower realms, knowing that they must endure the suffering there, they will experience unbearable mental suffering. I think that the mental suffering of the three lower realms is greater than their physical suffering. Twenty-seventh contemplation. If one is born as a god in the higher realms, will there be happiness? There is no happiness there either. In those higher realms, although there is no manifest suffering in the eyes of ordinary beings, in the eyes of the noble ones, it does not go beyond the nature of the suffering of conditioned existence. Because they are intoxicated by samadhi, ordinary beings cannot advance their qualities. Because they taste the taste of samadhi, they cannot separate from that flavorful samadhi, and because of this, they lose their respective samadhis and die. In particular, all the ordinary beings who dwell there, when the momentum of their past karma is exhausted, they will again take rebirth in the desire realm. In the past, when they were human beings, they meditated on worldly samadhi, and at that time, they seemed to be comfortable and relaxed in the samadhi of the formless realm, but they did not gain any confidence and did not degenerate into ordinary people, but became more afflicted and suffered more. I think that such a thing has no meaning. Twenty-eighth contemplation. Second, thinking that all samsara is suffering. The preliminaries and so on are as before, starting from the suffering in the hell realm, up to the pretas, animals, humans, asuras, gods of the desire realm, and gods of the form and formless realms, it is all so painful. All of the three realms of samsara are of the nature of three, six, or eight kinds of suffering, full of suffering, and surrounded by suffering. Suffering burns like fire, rages like water, wanders like wind, and presses down like a mountain. Wherever one dwells, it is a place of suffering. How is the body

即使取了身体也是痛苦的身体,和朋友相处也是痛苦的朋友,无论享用什么受用都是痛苦的受用。痛苦也有三种:名为痛苦的痛苦,即寒热疾病等所有感受到的痛苦;名为变异的痛苦,即寿命和受用等,乃至禅定的安乐也包括在内,即所有感受到的快乐;名为行苦,即这两种痛苦的基础,取行蕴的聚合体本身就是所有痛苦的来源和土地。当它只具有舍受时,才被命名为行苦。如果不能从中解脱,就无法从其他两种痛苦中解脱,因此无论如何都要想方设法从三种痛苦中解脱出来。这是第二十九个所缘境。 现在如上所述,生是苦,老是苦,病是苦,死是苦,与不喜爱的相遇是苦,与喜爱的分离是苦,追求欲望而不得是苦,这七种苦,第八种是总而言之,近取五蕴是苦,这又以五种方式是苦,即成为显现成就的痛苦之器,是培育来世痛苦的养料。依赖于显现成就的痛苦之器,即依赖于蕴的成就,生老病死等其他一切都有可能发生。名为痛苦的痛苦之器和名为变异的痛苦之器这两种,是依赖于蕴而产生的。成为行苦的自性,即知晓蕴本身就是行苦,应当这样观想三界轮回的一切都是八苦的自性。这是对八苦的思考,是第三十个所缘境。 这个轮回还有其他痛苦的种类,第一,因为没有确定性而痛苦的过患是,敌人和朋友、父亲和儿子,处所、身体、受用一切都只能是不确定的。如云:父亲即是儿子,母亲即是妻子。

Even taking a body is a body of suffering, associating with friends is associating with friends of suffering, whatever enjoyment is enjoyed is an enjoyment of suffering. Suffering also has three aspects: the suffering of suffering, which is all the suffering felt from heat, cold, disease, and so on; the suffering of change, which is all the pleasant feelings, including even the bliss of meditative absorption, such as life and enjoyment; and the suffering of conditioning, which is the basis of both of these sufferings, the mere aggregate of conditioned phenomena that is appropriated is the source and field of all suffering. When it possesses only neutral feeling, it is then named the suffering of conditioning alone. If one cannot be liberated from this, there is no liberation from the other two, so one should definitely meditate on how to be liberated from the three sufferings. This is the twenty-ninth object of focus. Now, as mentioned above, birth is suffering, aging is suffering, sickness is suffering, death is suffering, meeting with the unpleasant is suffering, separation from the pleasant is suffering, not obtaining what one desires is suffering, these are the seven sufferings, and the eighth is, in short, the five aggregates of appropriation are suffering. This is also suffering in five ways, namely, becoming a vessel of manifest accomplishment of suffering, it cultivates the nourishment of suffering for future lives. The vessel of suffering dependent on manifest accomplishment is that, dependent on the accomplishment of the aggregates themselves, birth, aging, sickness, death, and all other things can occur. The two called the vessel of the suffering of suffering and the vessel of the suffering of change arise dependent on the aggregates. Becoming the nature of the suffering of conditioning is knowing that the aggregates themselves are the suffering of conditioning, one should contemplate that all of the three realms of samsara are the nature of the eight sufferings. This is thinking about the eight sufferings, the thirtieth object of focus. This samsara also has other kinds of suffering. First, the fault of suffering due to uncertainty is that enemies and friends, fathers and sons, places, bodies, and enjoyments all can only be uncertain. As it is said: The father is the son, the mother is the wife.

等等就像这样。 第二,不知满足的过患是:无论享用多少欲妙,也没有满足的时候;无论经历多少痛苦,也没有厌倦的时候。“一次比四大海还要多”,等等可以引用。第三,一再舍弃身体的过患是:必须一再经历死亡,例如“一次自身骨骼的堆积”等等。第四,一再结生的过患是:必须无止境地受生,例如“母亲的尽头只有杜鹃鸟蛋那么大”等等。第五,一再高低起伏的过患是:即使成了帝释天,也会堕落到地上;即使成了转轮圣王,也会生为奴隶的下贱者。仅仅一生中,无论安乐痛苦、高低贵贱、兴盛衰败,对任何事情都丝毫不能信任,例如“帝释天成了世间应供养者之后”等等。 第六,独自一人无友伴而痛苦的过患是:出生时独自出生,死亡时也独自死亡,衰老和生病也独自一人承受,中阴界行走也必须独自前往,因此朋友、亲人和爱人都没有意义。因此,为了忏悔过错,请点燃三种智慧之灯!“独自进入月亮和太阳都无法照耀的无边黑暗之中!”也请引用这些话。 这样看来,轮回的一切都是痛苦的,具有六种痛苦的自性。即使生于有顶天,也很容易堕入无间地狱的边缘。痛苦只是不断地延续。就像进入燃烧的房屋中一样,就像商人进入罗刹洲一样,就像牧民在无路可走的荒野中徘徊一样,因此必须反复思考如何迅速从中解脱。专注于六种痛苦,这是三十一个观修的重点。 第二,思维因——集谛:那么,如此巨大的痛苦轮回,并非没有原因和条件。如果断除原因就能阻止轮回,那么原因是什么呢?所有的痛苦都源于积累的业。所有的业首先必须由烦恼来摄取。如果没有烦恼,那么之后业也不会产生果报。

And so on. Second, the fault of not knowing satisfaction is: no matter how much sensual pleasure is enjoyed, there is no satisfaction; no matter how much suffering is experienced, there is no weariness. "Each one is more than four oceans," etc. can be cited. Third, the fault of repeatedly abandoning the body is: one must repeatedly experience death, such as "the accumulation of one's own bones," etc. Fourth, the fault of repeatedly taking rebirth is: one must take endless rebirths, such as "the end of the mother is only the size of a cuckoo's egg," etc. Fifth, the fault of repeatedly rising and falling is: even if one becomes Indra, one will fall to the ground; even if one becomes a Chakravartin king, one will be born as a lowly slave. In just one lifetime, there is no trust in anything, whether it is happiness or suffering, high or low, prosperity or decline. For example, "Indra, having become worthy of offering in the world," etc. Sixth, the fault of suffering alone without companions is: one is born alone, one dies alone, one experiences old age and sickness alone, and one must go to the Bardo alone. Therefore, friends, relatives, and loved ones are all meaningless. Therefore, in order to repent of faults, please light the lamp of threefold wisdom! "Alone, one enters the boundless darkness that the moon and sun cannot illuminate!" Please also cite these words. Thus, all of Samsara is suffering, with the nature of six sufferings. Even if one is born in the peak of existence, it is easy to fall to the edge of the Avici hell. Suffering is only constantly prolonged. It is like entering a burning house, like a merchant entering the island of Rakshasas, like a nomad wandering in a pathless wilderness. Therefore, one must repeatedly think about how to quickly escape from this. Focus on the six sufferings, which are the focus of thirty-one contemplations. Second, contemplating the cause - the origin of suffering: Then, such a great cycle of suffering is not without cause and conditions. If the cause is eliminated, the cycle can be stopped. So, what is the cause? All suffering arises from accumulated karma. All karma must first be taken up by afflictions. If there are no afflictions, then later karma will not produce results.
