【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Newspaper reading habit - 1

I had just casually mentioned a few things that we readily come across.  For the things

that you enjoy, though you enjoy it, but in the very beginning, how did you begin to enjoy it? There are usually a few reasons for that.  That is there was some kind of opportunity for you to eat it.  Eh, after you ate it, "This tastes pretty good!"  Perhaps it might not have been that great,

but you ate it every day, ate it every day.  So after you've become used to eating it, you get to the point where you would feel like you can't go without it.  We have so many hobbies and likings as such.  Isn't it so?   So you just really enjoy doing it.  And if you have gradually, gradually accustomed yourself to this habit, then when that sensory object appears, that's

when you just can't separate yourself from it.  If when we get up every morning, for the

householders in the morning, they will go out the door to look for the newspapers, and then drink tea, and then do something else.  Each of us have our own habits.  And when the time is right, you will naturally go do them.  What are these habits?  They are karmic causes that were planted, right?  This cause will bear the fruit when the time is right.

业果 : 阅报习惯-1

刚才我随便说眼前这样东西，平常你欢喜它的，你欢喜它的，然后一开始的时候，你为什么欢喜它？通常有几种原因，就是你有机会，你碰到了吃，欸，吃过了，“这个满好吃啊！”也许不一定好吃，你天天吃、天天吃，吃惯了以后，到那时候你就觉得少了这个你就少不掉。我们有太多这个嗜好，是不是这样？所以你就很欢喜。然后呢，你只要慢慢、慢慢地养成功了习惯，于是到这个境界现起的时候，到那时候你没有这东西就少不了它。如果我们天天早晨起来，在家人早晨起来，跑到门口去看报纸，然后呢喝茶，然后呢做什么，我们每一个人有每一个人的习惯的，所以到那时候自然而然。这个习惯什么啊？你种下去的业因对不对？这个因，到那个时候感得那个果。
