【 The Varieties of Karma 业果】The effort of consummate family lineage 种姓圆满的功效
【The Varieties of Karma】- The effort of consummate family lineage
【The third】
What is number three? It is the lineage spoken earlier, which is your family background.
【The effect of consummate lineage is that people carry out your instructions without disregard. 】
We would often introduce someone. Ah! We would say how great his family background is. If someone had a brilliant family, we would often say it in the introduction. This was particularly important in the older days. Some people might say, "It does not seem that the people nowadays care." I used to think that way as well. I thought perhaps only the Asians such as Chinese, Japanese, and Indians...well there is no need to talk about Indians because their hereditary system is so strict. But the Chinese and the Japanese all care about whether people's families are of power and influence. I thought the western societies do not care about this. Hey! After visiting the west this time, I have discovered that the western people care about this even more, even more! Not only is this true for the Europeans, it is true for Americans as well. They really care about family backgrounds. That is how it is in the mundane world. That is how it is. People would say, "Oh! This person came from this and that family background." That is how it is. In this case, if a person from a great family background did something, then this thing would pretty much be deemed not a bad thing. Naturally, it will become easy for us to accept his instruction. For whatever endeavors he takes on, he will also succeed at it easily.

业果 : 种姓圆满的功效
【第三】
第三是什么呢？就是前面讲的族姓，就是出身。
【谓所劝教，无违敬用。】
我们常常介绍一个人，啊！说这个某人的家世如何，如果这个有辉煌的家世，我们通常会介绍，在以前是尤其重要。也许有人说：“现在的人好像不讲这个了。”我以前也以为如此，以为大概我们东方人像中国、日本、印度，印度是不谈啦，印度那世袭得太厉害了，中国、日本都讲这个门阀世家，我以为西方不讲。嘿！结果这一次到了西方以后，才发现西方人讲得才厉害咧，讲得才厉害咧！不但欧洲大陆是固然讲，美国也是，他非常重视那个门阀，这个世间就是这个样，就是这个样。人家说：“噢！这个某人出身如何如何。”那就是这样。那在这种状态之下，一个这样好的出身的人，做这样的事情，那大概不会错了。自然这个我们就容易受他的劝诫，你要他做任何事业，也容易成功。
