【The Varieties of Karma】- Our sickness comes from four types of causes and conditions

【Being a male is to have a male organ. Having strength is, by the power of previous karma, naturally experiencing little illness, or without illness at all, and a great enthusiasm arising from this life's circumstances. 】

Number eight, this is to have great strength. This primarily describes the leverage you obtain from previous karma. Many people talk about medicine now. Medicine is absolutely useful. But we should know that our sickness comes from four types of causes and conditions, four types of causes and conditions. The first one is the imbalance of the four elements. (Translator note: the four elements are earth, water, fire and wind.) The doctor can treat the imbalance of the four elements and you would need the doctor to treat it. The second one is an effect issued by previous karma. The doctors cannot do anything about this. The third one is the disturbances caused by ghosts and deities. The doctors cannot do anything about this either. The fourth one is your own fault, such as you doing something you should not have done. For instance, we should eat only an appropriate amount where food is concerned. But one may not eat appropriately and/or consume something which he should not have. As for the weather, he is not aware of it being hot or cold. Therefore, there are components things this sort. These are mainly the four types. One of them has to do with the four elements in which case is treated by the doctor. But actually, the strength that is described here stems primarily from by the power of one’s previous karma, by the power of one’s previous karma.

业果 : 生病的四种因缘

【七丈夫性者，谓成就男根。八大力具足者，谓由宿业力，为性少病，或全无病，于现法缘，起大勇悍。】

那么第八，是有大力量，这个就是说主要的那这个地方的宿业的力量。所以现在有很多人讲医，这个医是绝对有用的，我们要晓得我们的病，总共有四种因缘，四种因缘。第一个就是四大不调，这个四大不调是医生可以看的，也需要医生看；第二个宿业所感，那个医生没办法；第三个是鬼神触恼，这个医生也没有办法；第四个自己出岔，不应该做的事情，去做那种事情。譬如说我们饮食，这个应该适量，他不适量，不应该吃的他吃了。然后呢天气，他寒暖不知，有诸如此类的事情。主要的四样，其中有一样那个是这个四大，现在的医生；而实际上呢，特别是这个地方具足这个大力，主要的是宿业力、宿业力。
