【 The Varieties of Karma 业果】The cause of consummate power 自在圆满的因

【The Varieties of Karma】- The cause of consummate power

【4) The cause of consummate power is giving food, clothing, and so forth to those who request them; even when they are not requested, giving such assistance; and giving to those who suffer and to recipients who have good qualities but no possessions.】

Number four is giving. If someone begs or requests it from you, then you would give it to him. Now some people would say, "Hmm, but if you give it to him..." People in the mundane world would often say, "This person seems able bodied. He does not make use of his abilities. If you give him things, would not you be making him a parasite of society? Would not you be helping him to become lazier? So you should not give!" Do you think this logic makes sense? Hmm, it seems to make sense! Yes, if you give him things to eat, then later, fine, fine, he could end up not doing anything anymore. He could just continue to be this way. What are you going to do? For this issue, let me tell you, you can have two right answers. Or on the flip side, you can have two wrong answers. If you truly understand the teaching, no matter what you do it would be correct. And it is not ambiguous and vague at all.

业果 : 自在圆满的因

【第四者谓于乞求衣食等物，悉皆施惠，设未来乞亦行利益。又于苦恼及功德田，乏资具所，应往供施。】

第四，那么就是布施，如果有人来向你乞讨的话呢，你去惠施他，去惠施他。现在有的人说：“唔，你布施给他……”世间上面常常这样说：“这种人他好好的，他自己有能力不去做，你给了他以后，他不是培养一个社会上面的寄生虫吗？你让他增长他的好吃懒做吗？所以不要布施！”你说这个话有没有道理？嗯，很有道理啊！对啊，你吃的送了他，他以后—好了、好了不做事情，他专门这样了。那你到底怎么办啊？这上面我告诉你，这两个答案都对，反过来，两个答案都错。你真正懂得了佛法，你怎么做就怎么对，而且绝对不会是含含糊糊的。
