【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Because there is no combination of conditions for maintaining the potency of the seeds deposited by karma, the time for being maintained has changed

Next, "Because there is no combination of conditions for maintaining the potency of the seeds deposited by karma, the time for being maintained has changed." What does this mean? This says that whenever you create any karma, it is divided into a few parts. "Fruitional and causally concordant" would be the effects that have to do with your body and mind where as the "environmental effect" would be the one that is external. If you have created some karma, these effects of the karma will arise simultaneously. Through your confession, you may simultaneously purify and eradicate all three effects. But the predominant one is the causally concordant. That is what must have been purified and eradicated. What was the causally concordant [behavioral effect] from before? For the nonvirtues that I've created, I now feel contrition, " Ah how come I've been so wrong!" So when a similar situation occurs again, the attitude of being delighted by it has now turned into an attitude of disgust. Right? Hence when the [same] sensory object appears, you will now become disgusted by it. You of course will then reject it. Hence when the karma is about to take effect, though there are emerging external conditions, you reject them. So the external conditions aren't able to come in contact.

业果 : 由无缘合，时亦迁谢

“由无缘合，时亦迁谢”，这个话怎么讲呢？就是说当你造任何一个业的时候，它分几部分，“异熟、等流”这是在你自己内身心上头的，这个“士用果”是从外面境界上面的。如果是你造了这样的业的话，这个东西同时现起，经过了你自己忏悔，或者三样东西同时净除，或者最主要的呢，是里边的等流，那是一定把它净除的。以前的等流是什么？你造的恶，现在我懊悔：“唉呀，我怎么这样错啊！”所以当这一件事情现起来的时候，你以前欢喜那个心，现在变成功厌恶的心，对不对？所以当境界现起的时候你厌恶它了，当然你排斥它了。所以当感果的时候，这个外缘虽然现起，但是你排斥了，那个外缘碰不上。
