【 Reflecting on your Future Life 三恶趣苦】Karma makes the decision (for you) 业在做主
【Reflecting on your Future Life】- Karma makes the decision (for you)
For an actual scenario, such as when you are in great pain from sickness, um, ah (moaning in pain), can you tell the pain to stop? No! When you are hungry, can you tell yourself not to bother with it? No! With anything in front of you, upon looking at them, can you tell yourself not to be attached, would it work? No! Can you tell yourself not to generate hostility/be angry, would it work? No! When you are dozing off, and you try to tell (yourself) to raise your head, you just can’t! May I ask, is there anything you can decide for yourself? Aren’t things laid out very plainly in front of us! Even though we are chatting here, with what you’re going to say next, you don’t know either. You are just following the circumstances, moving forward in a stream of karma, right? Therefore, in reality, what truly projects us forward, why is it called karma? Isn’t it called projecting karma! There, such is karma! It is that you have no control at all because everything is completely dependent on this thing. This is karma. Therefore, this is what we truly wish to cultivate. Therefore, “since you are controlled by your karma,” what projects and leads you forward, what is that? Karma. We are completely dependent on this thing, it makes your decision for you.

三恶趣苦 : 业在做主
实际上的情况来说,当你病得痛苦的时候,哼呀、哈啊,你能不能叫它不要痛啊?不行!当你饿的时候,你能不能叫它不要管啊?不行!眼前任何一样东西摆在前面的时候,你看起来你叫它不贪,行不行啊?不行!你叫它不嗔,行不行啊?不行!你在这儿打瞌睡的时候,叫它竖起头来,就竖不起来!请问你哪一样东西做得了主?不是很明白的事情摆在这里嘛!尽管我们在那儿讲话,你下面说哪一句话,你也不知道,只是顺着这一个形势,这个业的流向前,对不对?所以实际上呢,真正地引发我们向前的,为什么叫业?是不是叫引业!哪,这个就是业!就是说你一点的主宰都没有的,完全靠这个东西,这个就是业。所以我们真正要修的就是这个。所以“以是诸业他自在故”,向前引发你的,什么?业。完全看这个东西,它在做主的。
