【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】 reduced the potency of the seed 把种子损坏

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- reduced the potency of the seed

This is much like saying I am now planting rice seeds for this year.  They have fruited.  Afterwards, when the spring comes next year, there will be the rain and the sun.  So the seeds will grow into stalks of rice.  The external rain and the sun, these are called the external conditions.  Now we can group them into the environmental effect.  The seed itself is the causally concordant and the fruitional effects.  Now through my confessions, I have reduced the potency of the seed.  After reducing the potency of the seed, even if you expose it under the sun and soak it in water, it will no longer germinate.  After some time has passed, the sun will be gone and the water will be gone.  So it will of course never have the opportunity [to take effect].  That's why it says "the time for being maintained has changed."  The proper season has lapsed.  Of course, if this is the case, wouldn't this mean that it will never take effect?  Hence, "Because of this, there is a thorough eradication of the karma."  Nah!  The reasoning is just that clear.

业果 : 把种子损坏

就像说，现在嘛我今年种一个稻子，结了果，然后收下来了以后，到了明年春天下雨了，出太阳了，那个稻就长出来了。这个外面这个雨跟阳，这个叫外头的外缘，现在我们不妨归入增上果当中，那么种子本身就是等流、异熟。现在经过我这个忏悔把那个种子弄坏了，弄坏了以后，尽管那个晒太阳、泡水，它长不出来。再过了一些时候，太阳也没有，水也没有了，它当然永远没机会了，所以下面说“时亦迁谢”，时节它也变掉了。那当然既然如此的话，是不是不会感果了？所以“岂非从其根本拔除”，喏！这个理路这么清楚。
