《059》我曾听到别人说：「啊！今年对我不利。」「为什麼呢？」「因为我整年卧病在床，根本没办法修行。」啊！如果他们临死的时候都不修行，他们何时可以修行呢？当他们康復时，你想他们何时可以修行呢？你想他们会修行吗？才怪！他们只会耽溺在愉悦之中。如果他们痛苦，他们仍然不修行，而且迷失在其中。我不知道人们哪时候才会想要去修行。

 I’ve heard people say, "Oh, this year was a bad year for me." "How come?" I ask them. "I was sick all year," they reply. "I couldn’t practice at all." Oh! If they don’t practice when death is near, when will they ever practice? No! They only get lost in happiness. If they’re suffering, they still don’t practice. They get lost in that, too. I don’t know when people think they’re going to practice.
