【The Varieties of Karma】- do not offend Buddhas and Bodhisattvas
Therefore, this is why in the earlier section when reflecting on the characteristics of karma, the general characteristic of karma, he particular told us, if you should violate ethical discipline, ritual, livelihood and philosophical view, this means you are unable to fulfil them perfectly. But as long as you have maintained your correct philosophical view, you need not be afraid. This principle in particular [was told]. For us who are beginners in our practice, it is certainly not possible to be perfect. Also, 《瑜伽菩薩戒本》[a scripture about ethical discipline] has said specifically regarding what is incurring an infraction to your vows, what is a cardinal transgression. Incurring an infraction means: though we have strived with all of our might, we have truly tried to learn, we have understood it, but because the afflictions are too strong, so we often cannot accomplish what we should. By then, you feel this shame and say, “Ah, how come I cannot do this!” Accordingly, you confess and strive to learn. Under this circumstance, you have not really incurred an infraction. So what would count as an infraction? That is when you have done wrong, yet you think you are right; or though you have incurred an infraction, you do not feel shame. That is incurring an infraction. To incur or not incur, what does it depend on primarily? It is whether you strive to continually improve yourself, that you have not lost your philosophical view, you strive to progress, and you are always trying to improve. For us who are beginner practitioners, this is what we should understand. And I wanted to specifically point this out here!

业果 : 正见未失
所以前面为什么在抉择这个，总抉择业果的时候，他下面告诉我们，说万一你犯了尸罗、轨则、淨命、正见，不能圆满哪，正见未破不怕；道理特别的，就是我们初机行持的人，的的确确要想圆满不可能。而且《瑜伽菩萨戒本》上面特别说，什么叫犯戒，什么叫破戒。犯戒也就是说，就是我们一心想努力，然后呢真实去学，你了解了去学，但是因为你烦恼重啊，偏偏有很多做不到。那个时候，然后你惭愧说：「哎呀，我怎么做不到啊！」然后你忏悔，努力去学，这种情况不叫犯戒。那么什么呢？就是你自己还做得不对，还觉得我对了，或者虽然犯了，你不晓得惭愧，这个就犯戒了。这个犯不犯，主要的是什么呢？就是说你努力肯不断地改善，正见未失，努力增上，时时向上，这个就是我们初机修学应该了解的，这个是我特别说明哪！
