【The Varieties of Karma】- Clearly understand the causes and effects of our past lives

Therefore, once you truly understand, absolutely true, karma is something you need not have to wait until the moment of death before you know where you will go after your life. You will know clearly when your thoughts arise, what karma you are creating now. Similarly, you will understand what causes from the past lives have produced the effects that you have experienced in this life. The fruitional effect can be derived in this way, so can the causally concordant effects. The fruitional effect is the external form that we see. The causally concordant effect exists in your mind. You can clearly examine this yourself. This talks about the direct retribution (the resultant person from the karma), as for the dependent retribution (the dependent condition or environment from the karma), this is described next. In the same way, the dependent retribution that we have now, such as the world and so on, this is called the primary effect or the environmental effect.

业果 : 清楚了解宿生因果

所以你真正了解了以后，千真万确的，这个业啊，不要等到说临终的时候还不晓得到哪里去，你起心动念的时候很清楚，现在造了什么业，同样你也了解，宿生是什么因，这一生会感得现在的果。异熟是这个样，等流是这个样，异熟是外面看得见那个行相，等流就是你内心，自己检查得清楚明白的。这个指正报而言，依报在下头。同样地我们现在的依报，这个世间什么等等，这个叫主上果，或者叫增上果。
