【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- It is said that you will even remove karma that you are bound to experience

The statement in both sutra and texts on discipline that "karma does not perish even in one hundred eons" is made with regard to the karma for which you have not cultivated a remedy with the four powers.

Hence when the scriptures say that karma does not perish, that means you have not applied the remedies for them.

However, if you purify yourself with a remedy having the aforementioned four powers, it is said that you will even remove karma that you are bound to experience.

If you can purify in accordance to the teachings then [this holds true] even for karma whose result you will definitely experience. In general, karma whose effects you will definitely experience is the weightiest karma. Remember from the earlier section, what is the order that karma ripens in the cyclic existence? It follows from the weightiest, to ones that are near [death], to what has been habituated and then to what was done the earliest. These are the four in the order of sequence, right? The weightiest karma will ripen first. Hence you will definitely experience its effect. What you will have to experience in your next lifetime is the weightiest. If there is no weightiest karma, then at the moment of death, whatever karma appears first will be one that is near. If those are not present, then it will be whatever you have habituated more. Lastly, it will be whatever you have done the earliest. So in other words, “karma whose result you will definitely experience” is a karma that is the weightiest. Now that even the weightiest ones can be removed, needless to say others?

业果 : 虽顺定受,亦说能净

诸契经中及毗奈耶皆说:“诸业纵百劫不亡。”意谓未修四力对治,

经上面所以说不亡的,是说你没有修对治。|

若如所说而以四力对治净修,虽顺定受,亦说能净。

如果你如法地去净修的话,那么就算定受—通常定受的业是最重的业,记得前面吧,那个诸业在生死当中的次第怎么来的?随重、随近,然后呢随串习,然后呢,前,四个次第对不对?重业是最先,所以你定受,下一生要受的是最重的;如果没有重业的,那你是临终的时候,那个业先现起,就靠近它的;如果没有,你的习惯多的;最后,那是你最先造的。所以换句话说,“顺定受”这个业一定是重的,那现在这个重的都能够清净,何况是其他呢?
