【The Three Types of Persons 道次引导】Vastly increase your virtuous karma created previously (II) 先造善业增长广大II
【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Vastly increase your virtuous karma created previously (II)
【You also vastly increase your previously accumulated causes of happy rebirths since they are imbued with this spirit. Furthermore, because you are motivated by this spirit, the causes that you create anew will be inexhaustible. 】
Here, we may ask why is it multiplying to this huge extent after becoming imbued with the aspiration? The generation of our karmic deeds must involve three aspects. That is to say, the formation of this karmic quality involves three aspects. The first one is I, the one who generates it. That is, with what kind of intention and action? The other is the recipient of my karmic deed. When doing anything, it has to be this way, say, “I give you $300.” “I” am the giver, “giving $300” to “you.” [v.2 p.95 three spheres] Or, “I hit you.” The former is a virtuous deed; the latter is a non-virtuous one. The completion of these three spheres is the karma, which is the sum of each of these aspects. Within these, the two external factors are fixed – “money” is fixed at $300, and the “you” is the recipient. If the recipient is a human being, then hitting this person creates the transgression. If the recipient is a dog, then the effect of hitting is weaker. If the recipient is a Bodhisattva, then the consequence is incredibly serious! Regardless of your external factors, although the adjustment is done within your mind, the impact from the fixed objective condition is still there. What is most important is the aspiration of “my” mind can make tremendous difference.

道次引导 : 先造善业增长广大II
【诸善趣因,先已作者,由此摄故,增长广大,诸新作者,亦由此心为等起故,无穷尽际。】
在这个地方我们说,为什么发了这个心以后这样地增广,变得这么大呢?我们凡是造一个业,它一定牵涉到三方面,说形成这个业的这个质量牵涉到三方面。第一个是我,能造的造者,就是我以什么心?以什么行?还有一个呢,我造的那一个业所集的对方。作任何事情一定这样的,说“我送三百块钱给你”─“我”是送的人,“送三百块钱”给“你”,然后呢“我打你一顿”;前者是善业,后者是恶业,造这个业究竟圆满的三样东西的每一个内容,把它加起来的总和。而这个里边,这个里边,外面两样东西都是有限的,“钱”三百块就是三百块,“你”就是你。如果你是个人那么打了你,产生这个罪过;你是个狗,那么差一点;如果你一个菩萨,那更不得了!但是不管是你是外面,这个你虽然是在变化,可是必定它受这个客观环境的影响,就这么多。而真正重要的,“我”这个东西,却是有无限的出入在里头。
