【The General Characteristic of Karma】- We will still suffer even if we stop to take actions

However, if we are frightened and stop here, this does not mean: Ah! Since you are frightened, you stop and do not do anything so your problems are resolved! [No.] If you stop because of fear, you will forever have to bear inestimable suffering. Therefore, from this we should understand that there is only one path: one can only strive to advance. Just like that. Well then when you do strive to advance, you need not be so fearful. What is really important is that you should be afraid of not obtaining the correct view and that once you have obtained the correct view you do not joyfully persevere. That is what we should be afraid of. Therefore, next he tells us in particular that: there, there, there, if you truly practice according to the teachings and advance according to the steps of ethical discipline, meditative concentration and wisdom, although you may not be able to uphold the ethical discipline perfectly, you will not fall into miserable realms. It tells us these criteria. This is not to say that you will not fall if you do things without care. If you do not care, you will certainly fall!

业果 : 停住不动还是得受苦

假定说我们害怕而停在这个地方的话，并不是说，啊！你呀因为怕了，停在那里不做，问题解决啊！你怕了停在这里，永远受无量无边的大苦。所以在这个上面我们要理解到：只有一条路，只有向上努力，这样。那么向上努力的时候啊，你不必这么怕；你真正重要的，怕自己得不到正见，以及得到了正见不精进，这个才是我们该怕的。所以他下面特别告诉我们：喏、喏、喏，如果说你真正如法修行，然后呢依照着这个戒、定、慧上去，虽然没办法把那个戒持得彻底圆满，但是他不会堕落。这个条件就告诉我们，不是说你马马虎虎不会堕落，马马虎虎是一定堕落！
