人在世間最大的一樁事是什麼 - 第200集
What is the greatest matter as a human being in the world?
不被外面境界所轉，能轉外面境界，幫助一切眾生轉惡為善、轉迷為悟、轉凡為聖。所以修學佛法頭一個，就是教你發菩提心。淨宗發菩提心格外的嚴格，為什麼？真為生死，不為別的。
We must be able to change the external environment (and not be changed by it) and help all sentient beings turn evil into goodness and delusion into enlightenment, as well as transcending the mundane and enter sainthood. That’s why in learning Buddhism, you are first taught to develop the bodhi mind, which is especially strict in Pure Land Buddhism. Why is that so? Because you really seek to transcend transmigration and not for anything else.
人在世間，最大的一樁事就是生死，其他，六道裡頭其他的五道，了生死出三界都不容易，唯獨人道。為什麼？人道苦樂一半一半的，容易覺悟；天人樂多苦少，他沒有覺得他苦，不容易覺悟；惡道苦多樂少，也不容易覺悟。
The greatest matter as a human being in the world is to transcend birth and death (i.e., reincarnation) because it is not easy for sentient beings in the other five realms to end reincarnation and transcend the Three Realms of Samsara. Only the human realm can accomplish this. Why is that so? Because humans have equal experience of suffering and happiness, so it is easy for them to become enlightened. Heavenly beings experience happiness more than suffering (they do not feel they are suffering), so it is not easy for them to become enlightened. Sentient beings in the evil realms experience suffering more than happiness, so it is not easy for them to become enlightened either.
只有人道，苦樂一半一半的，所以菩薩成佛一定是在人道。天道裡面，諸佛菩薩不以佛身去度他們，以菩薩身、用聲聞身，就是阿羅漢、菩薩，唯有人道裡頭能見到佛。畜生道亦如是，佛菩薩在畜生道裡現身現同類身，所以畜生見不到佛菩薩。
Only the human realm experiences equal happiness and suffering. That’s why bodhisattvas must attain Buddhahood in the human realm. All buddhas and bodhisattvas will not manifest as a buddha in the celestial realms to help the heavenly beings; they will manifest as a bodhisattva or an arhat instead. That’s why you can only see a buddha in the human realm. Animals cannot see buddhas and bodhisattvas because the latter will manifest as animals in the animal realm.
