【The General Characteristic of Karma】- Who is the main intiator？

Karma is “the karma that is intention”, and “the karma that is intended actions”. The main thing is the thought, when the mind engages, that is to carry out the intent. This is karma. And then, once you reflect, which is when the mind engages, for instance, when you think, "Ah, this thing is good!" Then you generate physical actions and speech to go after it. Then you think: since this is good, such as if you enjoy eating something specific, then you would run to the kitchen and tell them, "Ah, this is nutritious, this is good!" Right? It is your karma, and you naturally follow up with actions. Then if you do not like this, you would say, "Ah, this is not good, this is not good!" So, your body and speech will ensue. What is this? This is karma. And within this, who is the main initiator? It is your thoughts.

业果 : 谁是主使人？

业叫思、思已业；主要的是我们的思心所，就是行心所，这个是业。然后呢有了你这样的思惟的行心所，然后呢譬如你想：哎，这东西好！那你就要动身发语想办法去追求。然后你想这个东西好，譬如说你欢喜吃这个东西，然后你就跑到厨房里边跟人家说：「欸，这个营养，这个好呀！」对吧？你的业，自然而然你就跟着来。然后你不欢喜这个东西，你就说：「唉，这个不好啊，这个不好啊！」你的身口就跟着来了。这个是什么？这个就是业。而这个里边，主要的主动者是谁？就是你的思心所。
