【The General Characteristic of Karma】- Examine our philosophical view

The next part is very important! It is on their actions, although their practice had not been very perfect. Though not perfect, but they have "unlapsed conviction in the teachings." In other words, they still had the correct view. This power remained. They still wholeheartedly wish to learn the teachings, still wholeheartedly wish to learn. This point is very important. If we can examine ourselves on this, then it would be correct. Although you appear to do things correctly, but if your mind does not concord, then you can fool others but you cannot fool yourself. Practice is a matter that solely has to do with oneself. This is very important. You should examine yourself. Oh ya! When you hear the teachings, there can be two types of attitudes. One type is that after you listen, you feel so joyful and shameful, "I need to strive. Though I cannot accomplish this now, but I must strive and alert myself at all times." This is what we should do. As long as you have this type of attitude, you need not be afraid! What we truly should learn right now is primarily this. Another type is this, after you listen, you are afflicted and miserable. Ah, you are only staying here because you have no choice and cannot help it. If that is the condition you are in, then it would be very horrific, horrific!

业果 : 检查一下我们的正见

下面这个很重要喔！但是说他们的加行，就是他们的行持本身虽然不圆满，虽然不圆满，但是「由于圣教尚未退失」，换句话说他那个正知见本身在，这个力量在，一心想学佛，一心想学佛。这一点很重要，这个我们检查我们自己就对了。尽管你样子做得很好，但是你心里边不相应的话，这是骗得了别人，骗不了自己，修行这个事情完全自己的。这个很重要，自己你心里检查一下。喔呀，听那个教法有两种心情，有一种听了以后好欢喜、好惭愧，我要努力啊，我现在做不到，我要努力，时时警惕，这个就是我们应该的。你只要有这个心，不要怕！真正现在我们修学佛法主要的就是这个。另外一种呢，听了以后烦烦恼恼、苦苦恼恼，唉呀，实在没得办法，你只好在这个地方。那种情况，那就很可怕了，那就很可怕了！
