【 Cultivating Ethical Behaviour 业果】Recite fervently now (“near” karma) 现在拼命念-近业

【Cultivating Ethical Behaviour】-Recite fervently now (“near” karma)

If you have created a "weighty" karma, you will certainly get there (Pure Land). If your karma is not sufficiently compelling, but as you recite fervently, this becomes a "near" karma. Isn't that right? What are the characteristics of karma [to ripen] in rebirth? The first one is weightiness, the second one is nearness [death]. Since sickness is a cause of death, after sickness then death comes. Therefore, you ought to be reciting intensely. Not only that, you ought to recite continually. If you continue to recite until death, by then you will certainly get to PureLand! Isn't that very plain and very clear to understand? You can relate to this right away. Think about it, isn't that right? Now that you are clear of the reasoning, as long as you try, when you keep at it until you truly concur with it, one by one, it will manifest. Hence, when we speak of the ancients, in truth, the ancients really mean those who have practised according to Buddhism teachings and principles.The difference is that people nowadays do nothing put the teachings into practice. As long as you practise, you will not be fearful even at the moment of death.

业果 : 现在拼命念-近业

如果说你以前已经造了“重”的业的话，那是一定去；如果说你的业力不够重的话，你拼命地念，这是“近”，对不对？我们业在生死当中的行相是什么？第一个是重，第二个是近。所以病是死因，现在病完了要死，所以你现在拼命念，嘎啦、嘎啦念，一直保持这个念。如果念到死的话，到那个时候一定到极乐世界去嘛！这不是很清楚、很明白吗？你当下就可感受得到，想想看对不对？理路现在清楚了，你们只要去试，你真正地试到相应的时候，一一会现起。所以说古人、古人哪，所以真正地说起来，就是如法的道理他去做了。比起现在这个人人做不到的差别，你只要去做，就是这样，所以死的时候你也不会怕。
