【The General Characteristic of Karma】- Happiness in current and future lives

【Those who do not train in generosity, ethical discipline, and the like
May have good family lineages, good bodies, and health,
And may have great power or enormous wealth,
But they will not find happiness in future lives.】

These were from the previous lives and they came from cultivation. If you strive to cultivate in this life, you can attain high status life after life. If you attain high status, for the temporal happiness, it is high status, but you will obtain certain goodness at the end.This is what we need. If you had not trained in them, then the order of practice must certainly be as indicated, in terms of the teaching of Mahayana, we will speak of generosity, ethical discipline, patience, joyful perseverance, serenity and insight. But these are fundamentally subsumed as ethical discipline, concentration and wisdom as well. Therefore, to speak of this in general, in the beginning we follow the order and talk about generosity, ethical discipline...etc., this will include everything.

业果 : 今生后世的安乐要靠修行

【若未修尸罗等，随具种色少壮德，极大势力多富财，后世悉不获安乐。】

这一个前世来的是靠修，这一世努力去修的，生生增上，如果你增上的话，眼前是得增上生，最后得决定胜，这就是我们需要的。假定你没有修，修行次第一定是从这个上头，说大乘─布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧，基本的也可以说戒、定、慧。所以它总共地说，我们刚开始顺着次第，说布施、持戒等，包含了整个的。
