【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- power of eradication of the existing behavior (of non-virtuous deeds) and attitude of restraint  

【Therefore, it is very important to have an attitude of
restraint within which you have conviction not to
commit that action again. 】  

   This point is very important, very important! The reason you are able to do this,  

 【Moreover the development of this attitude depends on the first power.  】

It must rely on what happens now. The reason you are able to eradicate the existing behaviour (of non-virtuous deeds) is because of the single thought now, that very thought is the eradication of the current behavior. What will be the eradications in future called?  Restraint!  They are the exact same thing, but differ only in the time of occurrence, the time of occurrence.  Everyone should make sure that you are clear, you must be clear in this concept.

【故防护心后不更作，至为切要。】

这一点非常重要，非常重要！而所以能这样的话，

【能生此心，复赖初力。】

那一定还要靠现在。所以你现在的现行能够破坏，眼前当下一念是叫破坏现行，以后破坏叫什么？防治嘛！同样的一件事情，只是时间上头，时间上头的差别而已。这个概念大家弄得很清楚，必须要弄清楚。
