【The General Characteristic of Karma】- can sins of non –virtuous actions be exchanged? 

4" The actions you have done do not perish
Those who have done virtuous and non-virtuous
actions create pleasant and unpleasant effects.


Actions which you have done, they are sure to create the effects. Virtuous karma creates pleasant effects. Non-virtuous action creates unpleasant effects.

As Udbhatasiddhasvamin's Praise of the Exalted One
says:370
The brahmins say that virtue and sin
May transfer to others—like giving and receiving a
gift.
You [O Buddha] taught that what one has done
does not perish
And that one does not meet with the effects of what
one has not done.


"Brahmin" is the India's brahmins. The brahmins, what did the non-Buddhists say? That virtues and sins "may transfer to others." What is transfer? "May transfer to others - like giving and receiving a gift." The non-Buddhists are, ah, such as the deities, if you make some offerings to them, then they will come and protect you! Like this. Therefore, with however much that you have offered to them, much like the merchandise, however much money you have given, you can use it to buy some things back. Then as you have sinned, as long as you have done something for it, it would be okay, the sins will be compensated! There is no such thing. Bhagavan tells us that once an action is done, it will not perish. If you have not done such action, you will not experience it. They absolutely cannot be exchanged. It is of no use!

业果 : 罪业能不能被换掉?

谓诸已作善不善业,定能出生爱非爱果,

已经造了以后,一定要出生的。善业是可爱的果,不善的恶业一定是不可爱的恶果。

如《超胜赞》云:「梵志说善恶,能换如取舍,尊说作不失,未作无所遇。」

这个「梵志」,就是印度的婆罗门,他们那个婆罗门,是外道怎么说?那个善恶就像「如取舍」,什么叫换,「能换如取舍」?这个外道都是─啊,这个天,你供养供养他嘛,然后呢他就来保佑你呀!这样。所以你供养他多少,就像那个商品一样,你抽他多少钱,可以买点东西回去;你造了罪,只要作了些什么东西,那么好了,他那个罪就抵销掉了!没有这件事情。世尊告诉我们:造了以后一定不会失去,没有造的一定不会碰到,绝对不可以换,没有用!
