【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】Is it okay not to reveal? 不发露，可以吗？

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- Is it okay not to reveal?

Hence when you are cultivating the remedies, some may ask, "So I don't want to reveal this [in the confession], is that okay?" May I ask then, if you do not reveal it, will you be able to purify it throughly through the confession? When you did the karma in the past, you specifically aimed for that. Now that you need to confess, if you cover it up, are you really confessing? If you are truly confessing, will you be covering it up? Therefore, to cover something up, would that still be a confession? Hence after you properly understand the earlier principle, there will be an inevitable consequence. You had done it out of not knowing before. But now that you know, you won't even want to cover it up! You won't even want to cover it up! This is an inevitable result. Right?

This is much like what was said earlier. That is why every point is that intricate and unmistaken. Hence you must be able to find the root. Where is the root? It is the correct view. Where do you acknowledge the view? It is in your arising thoughts. This is why Buddhism is called the internal illumination. It is truly marvelous and entirely unmistaken. You will know it clearly yourself.

业果 : 不发露，可以吗？

所以当你正修对治的时候，有人说：“那么我不要发露这个，可以不可以？”请问你不发露能忏悔得干净吗？你造的时候针对着这件事情，你现在要忏悔，是把它掩饰着这件事情，你真的在忏悔吗？假定你真忏悔的话，你还会掩饰吗？所以这个掩饰这件事情是忏悔吗？所以当你对刚才这种道理正确了解了以后，你会必然产生一个结果，以前不知道去造，现在知道了以后，叫你掩饰都不愿意啊！叫你掩饰都不愿意啊！这是必然的现象，对不对？

就像刚才说的一样，所以你每一个地方它就这么细致，一点不错。所以你必定要找到了根，而这个根在哪里？正知见。从哪里知见？就起心动念。所以佛法叫做内明，妙极了，是一点都没错，你自己清清楚楚。
