【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】A person of sinful conduct will fear death 具恶业人死怖畏

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- A person of sinful conduct will fear death

【Through striving in that way, you should do as the Collection of Indicative Verses says;
A person of sinful conduct
Who has committed sins and not gained merit,
Who has parted from the teaching and attained its opposite
Will fear death, like a weak boat breaking apart in a great river.】

Having committed many sins, not gained merits, brought harm to the teaching, and done the opposite of the teachings, those who have done bad karma as such, why will they become fearful upon death. Why? It's much like traveling in a broken weak boat in the ocean, traveling in a broken weak boat.

【A person who has gained merit and has not committed sins,
And who has practiced the teaching of the holy ones' system,
Will never fear death,
Like a sturdy boat going across a river.】

On the contrary, you will have gained all kinds of merits and have not committed sins. All your conducts are like what? "Practiced the teaching of the holy ones' system," this is not a common virtue. It is the holy ones' system! Under this circumstance, you will not fear death. What would it be like? It would be like traveling on a sturdy boat. There won't be any problem when you are in the ocean. Now that there is such an excellent boat that will carry you to the other shore, you will be so happy and joyous. Why would you be fearful? You won't be fearful! That is also the absolutely truth.

业果 : 具恶业人死怖畏

【 如是励力，如《集法论》云：“若作诸恶未修福，误失正法得非法，具恶业人死怖畏，如于大海散朽船。】

造了很多坏事，没有积福，然后呢正法伤害了，做了都是非法的。像这样的造恶业的人，死的时候就恐怖，为什么呀？像大海里面乘一个破烂的烂船一样，乘一个破烂的烂船一样。

【若已修福未作恶，行诸善士妙法轨，此则终无死亡怖，如乘固船登彼岸。”】

反过来，你造了种种的福业，而恶业呢没有造。然后你所有的行为都是什么？“妙法轨”，这个善不但是普通的，妙法啊！这样情况之下，你对死亡你就不会恐怖。就像什么？乘一个坚固的船，在海里不会出毛病，第一个。而且这个船干什么？到彼岸去，本来这个地方是一无是处，现在有这么一个好的船到彼岸去，你高兴快乐，哪里会恐怖？不会恐怖，这也是千真万确的事实。
