【Explaining 讲说】Desire and attachment & aspiration for virtue 贪染心与善法欲
【Explaining 】- Desire and attachment & aspiration for virtue
Next is “aspiration.” What is aspiration? It is our mental attitude – which is a different direction. This attitude is still like our desire and attachment. However, the direction of attachment is [toward cyclic existence] and now this aspiration is in the direction of yearning for virtue. This is what we need to focus on now, what we need to engage in mindfully. Thus, the direction refers to “dedicate the virtues that have arisen from explaining and hearing the teachings to your temporary and final objectives.” Not only do we want to ultimately achieve Buddhahood, but [these virtues] are needed right now, too! Once the immediate cause is correct, the ultimate effect will then become possible. By the same token, if you are doing it right at this moment, the ultimate effect will eventually be achieved. However, if what you do right now is wrong, it is considered the “plight of three lifetimes.” Therefore, this can be divided into the immediate present and ultimate achievement as two stages – each with different causes and effects, but the same direction – we must know this. Once you have this recognition, then things will certainly work accordingly!
What benefits do we have now? These can be experienced immediately. For now, if you do it right, then your mind will sense the fulfillment of Dharma joy. Even though you went through a lot of hardship, you feel joyful. If you continue, the effect will lead you to advance step-by-step, progressing on this ultimate path.

讲说 ：贪染心与善法欲
下面“欲心”，这个“欲”还是什么？我们心理的行相，就是这个，方向不同。行相，还是跟我们的贪染之心，不过这个贪染是向那边的，现在的欲是善法欲向那边的，我们现在要去做的，一心要去做这个。所以他所指的方向说，“回向现时究竟诸希愿处”，不但是说我们要究竟要成佛，眼前都需要！而是眼前的因对了，才能够得到究竟的果。同样地，你眼前做的，做对的，必定达到究竟的果；你如果眼前做错的话，叫“三世怨”。所以分开来讲是眼前、究竟是二件事情，因果不同，可是这个方向却是一致，一定这样，这个我们要了解的，如果你了解了这一点的话，那必然是就是这个！
那么我们眼前受到的什么好处呢？这个当下也可以体会得到。眼前，你如果做对的话，那个时候你心理上的一个状态啊，法喜充满。也许你在这个地方做得很辛苦哦，但是你就很欢喜。如果你这样的话，那这个结果，将来一定会步步引导你上究竟之路。
