The first unbelievably deeply shocking things is that I have been experiencing the suffering of samsara numberless times from beginingless rebirths. The second shocking things is that it is, again, endless, if one doesn’t change one’s own mind and become totally detached from samsara.
Then, you look at the numberless sentient beings-numberless hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals, human beings, asuras, suras and intermediate state beings-oh,they have been exactly the same: experiencing the general sufferings of samsara and the particular sufferings of the lower realms numberless times from beginingless rebirths. You can’t imagine. It’s not unbearable. Feel that.
Now, if they don’t get help from you, they will experience the suffering of samsara, again, and again, endlessly. it’s most, most unbearable.You can’t stand it for a minute, for second.
However, you don’t have to take refuge the Buddha, so you can’t complete the work for sentient beings. Therefore, with your whole heart, totally rely on Buddha , Dharma and Sangha, not just for oneself, but because you want all sentient beings to be liberated from oceans of samsaric sufferings and their causes.
“I go to refuge to Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha”, is the cause refuge-taking refuge in those whose mental continuum is separate from yourself. “Until enlightenment is achieved” shows the result time refuge. Result Dharma is when your mind becomes the cessation of suffering and cessation of defilements, the true path. At that time you become the result Sangha. By developing Dharma, you become the result Buddha. Only then can you do perfect work for sentient beings without any effort, spontaneously.”
“By the collection of merits”, refers to the merits of transcendental wisdom and the merits of vertue.
After sentient beings are born, even in one second go, non-stop, towards death. The other meaning is “transmigrating”. There are 6 realms of sentient beings. Transmigratory beings are under the control of karma and delusions and so, continuously, in one of the realms they suffer. this is what has been happening from beginingless rebirths and, if you don’t help them, they will have to suffer endlessly in samsara.”
Call them “mother” sentient beings, bring in that sublet mother. Thinking “mother” means close to you, close to your heart. At the same time in means being a mother and kind on 4 ways:
1. Your mother gave you a body, especially the human body which allows you practice Dharma,
2. Bore hardships for you,
3. Protected your life from hundreds of dangers each moment,
4. Gave you an education, led you the path of the world, taught you how to talk, how to speak human language, etc.
Not only that, but we should remember this: our parents created so much negative karma, 24 hours a day, for our well-beings. It is important to think that there will be so much suffering as a result of their negative karma, bearing hardships for you. Remember that, include that. That is the real story. Then you can see the mother’s kindness. It becomes most unbearable. You come to the conclusion that you have no choice. You have got to give help to the mother sentient beings. It’s only nice words; it is the reality.
“To benefit” means to liberate them from the bondage of karma and delusions. That way you are able to liberate them from oceans of samsaric sufferings. Not only that, but you also want to bring them to full enlightenment. Therefore, the solution is for oneself to achieve enlightenment. Each time you generate the bodhichitta, “May I achieve enlightenment for the benefit of transmigratory beings”, by putting your palms together, how much merit you collect is amazing.
