【The Varieties of Karma】- do not overlook senseless speech

As long as you are willing to listen, you will be able to change very quickly. This is absolutely the truth. If we are to truly strive, then let me tell you this, do not overlook senseless speech. This thing, if we speak of its weightiness in terms of karma, it is the lightest, the lightest. However, all infractions will stem from the root which is this. It is the easiest to violate. Therefore, this thing, as soon as you open your mouth you are wrong, as soon as you open your mouth you are wrong. What do you do then? You will have to bring the remedies to mind. Remind yourself at all times, remind yourself at all times. Now it is not that we should be able to accomplish this immediately. But we have the opportunity to understand this now and if you strive to gradually practice, you will slowly, slowly, slowly be able to change, be able to change.

业果 : 不要小看绮语

你只要肯听，很快就转得过来，这千真万确的事实。如果现在我们真正肯努力下手的话，那我告诉你们，不要小看那个绮语喔，这个事情可以说论它的业的轻重，那是最轻最轻，但是呢，犯毛病都从这地方根本犯起，最容易的地方。所以它这东西一开口就错了，一开口错，那你怎么办呢？你必须作意对治，随时提醒自己，随时提醒自己。现在我们不是说马上要做到它，但是我们有机会体会领解到了以后，你努力这样去慢慢地做的话，也慢慢、慢慢、慢慢就可以改得过来了，改得过来了。
