【Human Life of Leisure and Opportunity】- The five aspects of opportunity that pertain to others - Having reversible karma

【"Having reversible karma" means that you have not done or caused others to commit the five deeds of immediate retribution 】

What is “Having reversible karma” ? That is, you have not done or caused others to commit the five deeds of immediate retribution. We often would say, ah, this karmic obscuration, karmic obstacle, what truly can become obstacles to our cultivation are the five deeds of immediate retribution. Once you commit the five deeds of immediate retribution, no matter how much you cultivate, you will not attain the fruit. As long as you have not committed the five deeds of immediate retribution, then we are training exactly to eliminate this. So we often would say, “ Ah, I am an ordinary being! I have great karmic obscuration!” That is giving yourself up! Precisely because you are an ordinary being, you would have obscurations, and that is why you need to work hard at cultivation. In the teachings of Mahayana, even the five deeds of immediate retribution can be confessed. You must be very clear with this concept first.

暇满 : 五自圆满 —— 业未倒

【业未倒者，谓未自作或教他作无间之罪。】

什么叫作[业未倒]？就是没有自作、教他五无间罪。我们常常说，唉呀，这个业障、业障啊，真正能够障碍我们修行的就是五无间罪。造了五无间罪，不管你怎么修行，不可能得果；你只要不造五无间罪的话，我们修行就是净除这个东西。所以我们平常常说：[哎呀，我是凡夫啊！我业障很重啊！]那是自暴自弃！正因为你是凡夫，你业障，所以你要努力修行。大乘佛法当中，造的五无间罪都可以忏悔的，这个概念第一个要很清楚。
