【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- The power of turning away from faults

【3" The power of turning away from faults】

What is number three? It is the power of turning away from faults.

【The third power is actually restraining yourself from the ten nonvirtuous actions. In the Sun Essence Sutra, the Buddha said that this restraint destroys all karma, afflictions, and obscurations of the teaching created physically, verbally, or mentally by way of killing and the like. The third power eliminates bad actions that you have previously created yourself, caused others to create, or have rejoiced in others creating.】

There! This is to turn away, to turn away from all sins. To turn away here means to restrain oneself according to the teaching, to stop creating the nonvirtues like you have done in the past. The reasons as stated above, these are the principles. Next, the sutras are referenced to substantiate it. The sutras tell us, if you can turn away from these, then for all that you have previously created, caused others to create, or have rejoiced in others creating, for all the sins [you have done], all of them can be eliminated. "Destroy" means to destroy, to obliterate. How did the actions that you previously create and rejoice in others creating come about? You may have only done a mental karma or this mental karma had given rise to physical and verbal karmas. Your obscurations of the afflictions, of the teaching, of all your sins can be completely overcome.

【第三力者，】

第三是什么？遮止罪恶的力量。

【谓正静息十种不善，《日藏经》说，由此能摧所作一切自作, 教他，见作随喜，杀生等门, 三门业障，诸烦恼障及正法障。】

喏！这个就是遮止，遮止这个一切的罪恶，遮止意思就是现在呢如法地静息，不再造以前种种不善了。那么上面说道理，这个原则，下面呢，引那个经上面来证成这件事情。这个经上面告诉我们，你由于这样能够遮止的话，所有一切不管自作、教他、见作随喜，那包括了所有的罪恶，统统都能够消除，“摧”就是摧毁、摧坏。所有自作、教他是怎么作的呢？或者单单起的意业，或者由意业而起的身、口；烦恼障、正法障，所有的一切的罪障，彻底都能解决。
