【修持轨理】

第三支悔罪

「我昔所造诸恶业」，为什么要造诸恶业？「皆由无始贪嗔痴」。分三样叫贪、嗔、痴，总纲提起来叫无明，或者叫见惑、思惑，我们看得见的。不管你用什么说，一百零八烦恼等等，开合不同，内容是同的。由于这个，所以从身、口、意发出来的，无非都是错误。「其罪自性」，那就是我自己所做的。那么，这个自己做的当中，有自作、教他作、见作随喜发三方面。
这个地方，这个「教他作、见作随喜」，我们不大注意，但是我们经常很容易犯，很容易犯。譬如说，我跟某一个人不大好，然后这个幸灾乐祸的心情哪，干什么？就是这个。你看见他，你的冤家受了痛苦了，你心里：「活该！活该！我真高兴，这个家伙，真活该！该受罪！」你还觉得很有道理咧！你在干什么啊，你在干什么啊？

【The Meditation Session】

Preparation (5) - Third branch of offering is confession of sins.

So with "whatever sins I have done", why did we create sins (bad karma)? [It is because we are] "under the influence of attachment, hostility, or ignorance." It is categorsied into three types: attachment, hostility, and ignorance. In summary, it is called ignorance. Or you may call it the affliction of the view or the affliction of the emotions. We can see them readily. Regardless of how you describe it, whether it is 108 afflictions, etc, though they are classified differently, the contents are the same. So because of this, whatever that is generated through the body, speech and mind becomes nonetheless erroneous. "The nature of sin...," this is referring to our own doing. There are three ways to engage in this activity: you can do it yourself, to enjoin someone else to do it, or to rejoice in someone else's having done it.

This part, it says "to enjoin someone else to do it, or to rejoice in someone else's having done it," we normally do not pay attention to this much. But this is something which we would frequently commit, would frequently commit. For instance, I am not in good terms with this person and may have this mentality of gloating [at others' plight]. What is that? This is exactly what is described. You see him, an enemy who is suffering, you would think, "You deserve it! You deserve it! I am so happy. This person, he truly deserves it! He should suffer!" And you think that you got reasons to feel that way! What are you doing? What are you doing?
