【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】An opportunity for my accomplishment of patience 成就我的忍辱

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】- An opportunity for my accomplishment of patience

The second one, not only have I repaid, I wish to continue to progress upward. He is here to provide an opportunity for my accomplishment of patience. Oh, you will be happier! If no one scolds you, may I ask then, can you practice patience? May I ask then, can you uphold the vows? May I ask then, can you joyously persevere? Speaking of this, you have to rely on him to accomplish all the good merits of the six perfections. By then, as you think of this, you will feel joyous. Ah, you are incredibly delighted by this! It is something very simple that is right in front of you. If he scolds you, you are happy. If you are sick, you are happy as well. Why? The same principle applies. If you apply this to the mind, that is the scolding [that you are dealing with]. If you apply this to the body, that is the sickness [that you are dealing with]! The same principle applies. Ah, so now, this is great. The sickness is just right to prompt you to question why you fall sick. That is the [the result of the] nonvirtuous karma you had created in the past. It is because of this nonvirtuous karma that you fall ill. Now that I understand this sickness arises because of the past nonvirtuous karma, so I need to create virtuous karma now! And since sickness is a cause that leads to death, I need to quickly recite the name of Amitabha Buddha more often. I will recite very clearly. I will be earnestly reciting.

业果 : 成就我的忍辱

第二个呢，我现在不但是还了债，而且还要向上，他成就我的忍辱。喔，你正更高兴啊！假定没有这个人来骂你，请问你能忍辱吗？请问你能持戒吗？请问你能精进吗？从这个地方说起来，所有的这个六波罗蜜的功德，都靠他让你完成的，那个时候你想到你欢喜，啊呀，你这欢喜得不得了！眼前很简单一件事情，他骂你嘛，你也欢喜，然后你生病嘛，你也欢喜。为什么？同样的道理呀，对心上面他是骂你，对身上面就是病痛嘛！一样的道理。啊，那现在好极了，正好因为那个病策励你说，那以前为什么生病？那以前造的恶业，因为恶业所以生病；现在呢，我了解了，那个病是还以前的恶业，可是现在我要造善业啊！而且病是死因，喔唷，赶快多念阿弥陀佛，念得清清楚楚，晓得每一句话，拼命念。
