【 The Varieties of Karma 业果】 Are you doing this for others or for yourself? 为别人还是为自己？

【The Varieties of Karma】- Are you doing this for others or for yourself?

It said earlier, ["...the amount of merit you accumulate from the perspective of differences in attitude such as focusing on superior or inferior goals." ] What does this superior or inferior refer to?  This primarily depends on your attitude!  ["...Or focusing on your own or others' interests," ] what is your attitude?  Are you doing this for others or for yourself?  If you are doing this for yourself, no matter how much you cover it up, how beautiful your words are, it is useless!  If you are truly doing this for others, even though to others, it may appear that you have done something wrong, but this would not matter.  When we first begin, we cannot be perfect.  This is certain.  But this does not mean that you would be right if you neglect to present it well.  This is not the meaning.  But as an ordinary being, as we walk on the path, we should recognize clearly the tap roots versus the tiny twigs. This is what we should understand.

业果 : 为别人还是为自己？

[如是由其攀缘所得，若有胜劣]，这个胜劣啊是看你什么？最主要就是看你的心！[及缘自他利益等意乐]，你这个意乐是靠什么？你是为了别人、是为了自己？假定是为了自己，你遮盖得再好，说得再漂亮，没有用！你真正为了别人的话，就算人家看起来你做错了，没有关系。我们刚开始的时候，十全十美做不到的，一定的。并不是说，你这个表面做得不好也是对，不是这个意思；但是我们凡夫分上，走上去的那个本末，应该分得很清楚，这是我们要了解的。
