【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】Exact remedies VS the group of (almost) remedies 正对治VS近对治

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Exact remedies VS the group of (almost) remedies

【Thus, with powerful remedies you can completely eliminate the unfavorable factors, which diminish when you possess the group of remedies. This, for example, is like the tarnish on gold. Because all such things as obstructions to the sublime teaching will necessarily diminish as just explained, you will completely eliminate infractions which originate from arrogance】

This says that the remedies that you are training for here are called “the group of almost remedies.” Why are they not the exact remedies but the almost remedies? What is an exact remedy? One must be able to realize emptiness, having thoroughly damaged the seed. But the aforementioned group of almost remedies does not damage the seed completely. However, if you are able to do them [i.e. the almost remedies], then the seed will not manifest in the present. It will tell us this later. “Diminished” means the potency of the seed is reduced and damaged. Since these remedies are set in place. And these remedies are powerful ones. Since they are powerful, hence they suffice to counter the force from the past karma.

业果 : 正对治VS近对治

【“谓若凡是近对治品，可损减法，彼由成就有力对治，能毕竟尽如金秽等。正法障等一切皆是如所说法，由此正理，则妄执心，所作堕处可无余尽。】

说凡是你修了这个对治—它那个地方叫“近对治品”，为什么不是正对治而讲近对治？它正对治是什么？一定要通达空性，把那个种子要彻底地把它损坏。现在前面所讲的近对治，并没有把那个种子整个破坏，但是你能够这样的话，那个种子就不会感得现行，他下面会告诉我们的。“可损减法”，它把那个种子的势力，把它减低了，把它损害了。说由于成就了这样的对治，而且这个对治，具有力量的，因为具有力量所以它以前造的力量你能够抵销。
