【The Origin of Suffering】- nine causes and conditions for premature death (1)

【in regard to which the sutras list nine causes and conditions for premature death: [242] 】-

The sutras list these nine, there are these nine.  This is listed in the Sutra of the Medicinal Buddha.  It is also listed in the Levels of Yogic Deeds.  So, it will explain this next.  

【overeating, eating something indigestible, eating without having digested the previous meal, failing to expel undigested food that has accumulated in the stomach, intestinal obstruction, 】

Among the nine causes and conditions for premature deaths, there are this many that relate to eating. "Overeating," ah! This one is very difficult to apply remedies for. This is the most difficult one to apply remedies for. Therefore, by the Buddha's rules, the Buddha's rules tell us that in many instances when we talk about ethical discipline, ah!  We focus on the most intricate details of it.  Actually, of course, if you can uphold the most subtle ethical discipline...then of course you will be able to abide by the main ethical disciplines, and that is the best!  But unfortunately for us now, we have not grasped the fundamentals but instead have paid great attention to the incidentals.  This is indeed a loss!

希求解脱 : 九死因缘-食无度量 1

【谓如经说，寿未穷尽，有九死因缘，】

它经上面有九种，这个九种，《药师经》上面是有，还有《瑜伽师地论》上是有，那么下面说一下。

【谓食无度量，食所不宜，不消复食，生而不吐，熟而持之，】

这个九死因缘当中，为饮食而死的这么多。“食无度量”，啊！这个难对治，最难对治的就是这个。所以佛制，佛制告诉我们，种种的地方，我们往往谈戒的话，啊！细微的地方嘛注意得要命，其实，当然，如果说你能够细微的戒持得很……大戒那当然了不起，那最好的！可是我们现在不幸地，根本没把握住，在那个枝末上面空转，这个实在可惜啊！
