【 The Varieties of Karma 业果】Strength in terms of support 所依门故力大

【The Varieties of Karma】- Strength in terms of support

【Strength in terms of support】

In terms of support, what is this? An example is first given.

【Although even a small lump of iron sinks to the bottom of a body of water, the same substance made into a vessel, even a large one, floats on top.】

We would say that even a small lump of it, if you throw it in water, "pu-tong!" It will sink. However, no matter how big the iron, such as a big ship weighing tens of thousands of tons, it is incredible and should sink. Ah! As a result the iron stays afloat when in water. Why?

【Likewise, the Buddha said, sins committed by those who are not knowledgeable and those who are knowledgeable are heavy and light as well】

It is because of this, this.

【are heavy and light as well.】

What does this explain? We need to use our wisdom to discern.

业果 : 所依门故力大

【由所依门故力大者。】

所依的门，这个什么呢？先举个例。

【谓如铁丸小亦沉水，即彼成器虽大上浮，】

说铁丸再小的一点点，丢在水里[噗通！]掉下去了。然后呢，你这个铁再大，像大船几十万吨，不得了的，什么东西都没办法，沈。欸！结果摆在水上，它就浮在那里，为什么呀？

【说智不智所作罪恶，】
就在这里，这个。

【而有轻重。】

这个就说明了什么呢？我们的智慧去辨别。
