因此,除了各自的地区外,不能在其他地方讲法和化身等。因为在法界中行持的善妙所依人身特别殊胜,所以化身和佛法的乘也特别殊胜。因此,获得人身非常困难。在《功德庄严经》中说:从无暇之处解脱,以闲暇圆满所庄严的人身,非常难以获得。又如《俱舍论》中说:地狱、饿鬼、旁生和,边鄙、长寿天以及,邪见、无佛出世和,喑哑,这八种是无暇。因此,从八种痛苦之城和八种无暇之处解脱,具有进入佛法的福分,拥有十种圆满的身体非常难得。十种圆满是:在《地藏十轮经》中说:转生为人,生于中土,诸根具足,善业所感,信奉正法,佛陀出世,佛法住世,入于正道,以慈悲心所摄持。又如《白莲经》中说:转生为人很难得,佛陀出世也很难得,闲暇圆满也很难得,希求善法也很难得,正确的愿望也很难得。等等,像这样广为赞叹的身体,在获得这样的所依时,要再三地生起对如法修行的所依和殊胜道友的欢喜心,并将其纳入道用。有时也要这样观修:在寂静处独自居住,在舒适的坐垫上,右腿半跏趺坐,右手按地支撑起身。放下左膝,右手肘支在膝盖上托着脸颊。左手盖在左膝上,摆出悲伤的姿势。所缘是,所有地方都广阔无垠,三恶道的无量众生被各自的痛苦所折磨,哭喊嚎叫。在那之中,在一座非常高的岩石山上,自己孤独无助地获得了人身。眼看就要从那上面掉下来了。心想,唉呀!像地狱、饿鬼、旁生这样无量的众生之中,自己一

Therefore, one cannot teach the Dharma or emanate in other places except in their own respective regions. Because the virtuous support of a human body, which practices in the realm of Dharma, is particularly excellent, emanations and the vehicles of Dharma are also particularly excellent. Therefore, obtaining a human body is extremely difficult. As stated in the Sutra of Fully Arranged Qualities: "Having escaped from the states of no leisure, this human body adorned with leisure and endowment is extremely difficult to obtain." And as stated in the Abhidharma: "Hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals, barbarians, long-lived gods, wrong views, absence of Buddhas, and mutes—these eight are the states of no leisure." Thus, having turned away from the eight cities of suffering and the eight states of no leisure, and possessing the fortune to engage in the Dharma, this body endowed with ten endowments is extremely difficult to find. The ten endowments are: As stated in the Earth-Essence Ten-Wheeled Sutra: "To be born as a human, to be born in a central land, to have complete faculties, to have good karmic results, to have faith in the teachings, to have a Buddha appear, to have the Dharma teachings remain, to enter the vehicle, and to be completely seized by compassion." And as stated in the White Lotus Sutra: "To be born as a human is difficult to obtain, the appearance of a Buddha is also difficult to obtain, leisure and endowment are also difficult to obtain, aspiration for virtuous Dharma is also difficult to obtain, and a correct aspiration is also difficult to obtain." And so forth, at the time of obtaining such a body, which is widely and correctly praised, one should repeatedly generate joy in the support for practicing the Dharma properly and in a virtuous friend, and take it onto the path. At times, one should also meditate in this way: Residing alone in a secluded place, on a comfortable seat, with the right leg in a half-lotus posture, propped up by the right hand on the ground. Lowering the left knee, with the elbow of the right hand propped on the knee, supporting the cheek. Covering the left knee with the left hand, assuming a posture of sorrow. The focus is on all directions being vast and expansive, with countless sentient beings of the three lower realms tormented by their respective sufferings, crying and wailing. In the midst of that, on top of a very high rocky mountain, one is alone, without a friend, having obtained a human body. One is about to fall down from there. Thinking, "Oh dear! Among such countless beings of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals, I, one"
