噶千语录39

佛子行三十七颂

第一偈

获得暇满大舟时

自他为渡轮迴海

昼夜恒时不懒散

闻思修是佛子行

很多人不认为前行很重要，他们认为既然自己阅读过书籍，并理解了十八暇满的意思，就没有必要再去理会它了。

他们宁可去修一些所谓「真正」而且「更高深」的法。但对吉天颂恭祖师来说，前行才是最甚深的法。

只有你全心希冀解脱，才能从生死轮迴的苦海中解脱出来；否则的话，无论你修哪些高深的法，不仅不能将你从痛苦中解脱出來，事实上，还可能將你的「自我」給强化了。

首先，你必须了解投生为人的珍贵与难得。平时我们会问人：「你昨晚睡得如何？」要是别人回道：「睡得很好啊。」我们就会说：「太好了！」要是哪天我们没睡饱，就觉得自己蛮可怜的。这个现象说明我们心中还没有完全生起「人生珍贵」的想法。

如果「人生珍贵」的想法确实在我们心中生起的话，即使浪费一分钟在睡眠上，都会觉得可惜。早上我们不会赖床，也不会有起床气，而是一醒来就想起人生的珍贵，并感到起床的紧迫性。因此，在早上忆念人生的珍贵是很重要的。

也许你会想，要怎样才能每天做事不睡觉。你并不需要放弃睡眠，但需要养成节制与纪律的习惯。此外，如果你在入睡时练习嗡啊吽金刚颂，睡眠就成为「善」，每次半夜醒来时，我们应该忆念有情众生，并为他们念诵一些玛尼咒。

我们这个人生是无数世以来，积累了无量功德的果报，这是一次性的机遇，我们无法期待将来还会有这么珍贵的机会。当你明瞭人的生命是多么珍贵，你就不会浪费时间在无意义的活动上；甚至，就算是生活出现问题，成了乞丐，没有朋友，没有家人，或是没有财产，总还会是快快乐乐的。由于知道一旦拥有这珍贵的人身，这人身大舟就能将我们带离苦海，这样的人会开心快乐，不会抑郁消沉；他知道，事实上，到了将来，世俗的快乐只会毁了自己。

由于具备智慧和六大，人的生命是非常强而有力的。这里是我们往上或是下堕的交叉口；如果我们知道如何善用这现有的人身，我们可以在此生中达到证悟；如果我们浪费这现有的人身并造做恶行，会将自己推入无量劫的恶道中。

Quotes From The Precious One 

Gar Quote No. 39 _ A Precious Human Life

The 37 Bodhisattva Practices Series, Verse 1:
“At this time when the difficult-to-gain ship of leisure and fortune has been obtained, ceaselessly hearing, pondering, and meditating day and night in order to liberate oneself and others from the ocean of cyclic existence is the bodhisattvas’ practice.”

Many people do not consider the preliminaries very important, thinking that because they have read a book they already understand the eighteen leisures and fortunes and don’t have to concern themselves with them any longer. They rather move on the 'real and more profound' practices. 

According to Lord Jigten Sumgon, the preliminaries are most profound. You will only become free from the cycle of existence, the ocean of suffering, if your whole heart wants to become free, otherwise no matter what other advanced practices you may engage in, they will not free you from suffering and in fact, they may even reinforce the ego. 

In the beginning, you must understand the preciousness of this human incarnation and how difficult it is to obtain. Normally we ask others, 'how did you sleep last night?' And when they respond, 'I slept well,' we say, 'that's really good.' If we didn't get enough sleep, we feel sorry for ourselves.

This is a sign that the thought of the precious human life has not yet fully dawned in our mind. If it would have dawned in our mind, we would feel sorry for every minute we wasted sleeping. We would not be sluggish and grouchy in the morning, but upon awakening, we would remember the precious human life and feel a sense of urgency to get out of bed. Thus, in the morning, it is important to remember the precious human life. 

You may wonder how to do your daily tasks without sleep. You do not need to abandon sleep, but you should practice moderation and discipline. Furthermore, if you practice for instance the Om Ah Hung Vajra Recitation as you fall asleep, your sleep will become virtuous. Every time you awake in the middle of the night, you should remember sentient beings and recite a few Mani mantras for them. 

This human life is the fruition of myriad virtues accumulated throughout countless life times. It is a one-time opportunity and we shouldn't expect to obtain such a precious opportunity again in the future. 

Knowing how precious this human life is, one would not waste one's time with meaningless activities. Moreover, one will always be joyful even if things seem to go wrong, if one becomes a beggar, is without friends and family, or without wealth. Let alone becoming depressed, one would be happy, knowing that one possesses a precious human body, the ship that can bring one beyond the ocean of suffering. In fact, one will know that worldly pleasures will only bring one's own ruin in the future. 

This human life is very powerful, for humans are endowed with intelligence and the six elements. It is the cross road between going up or down. If we know how to use this human existence well, we can attain enlightenment in a single life. If we waste this human existence and engage in negative deeds, it will propel us into the lower realms for countless eons.
