【The General Characteristic of Karma】- The reason for being careless

The reason we are careless now, the primary, the primary reason for this is you are looking to take advantage of the situation on hand. It is this simple! Perhaps you may take the initiative, such as when you see something great, you go after it. Or it may be your habits, ah, you feel too lazy to move. It does not matter which of the two, in brief, you are seeking for some meagre benefit, a small benefit. And if you now understand the principles of cause and effects and have developed certainty of this in your mind, then you will understand that for any great or small gains, there are definitive causes which produced such effects. You will not take advantage of the situation at hand anymore. The only thing you will be thinking is to quickly strive to cultivate the virtuous causes and to eliminate the bad effects. Right?

业果 : 马虎的原因

眼前我们所以马虎的原因，最主要的，最主要的你去找，一个理由─讨便宜，就这麽简单！或者是主动的，看见好的东西你去争取；或者是习性，唉，觉得懒得动它一动。不管是那两种，总结起来就是想得到一点点好处，小好处。而假定你现在对于由业感业果的这个道理，产生了决定的信解以后，你那个时候了解啊，这任何一点大、小好处，必然有这样的因感这样的果，那个时候你绝对不会想去讨小便宜，你唯一的就想赶快努力去种这个善因、断恶果，对不对？
