【The Varieties of Karma】- The cause of trustworthy words

Now we continue on with number five, why would one's words be trustworthy? It is because in the causal period, one can give up the four [vocal] non-virtues, and cultivate the four virtues, cultivate the four virtues. That is when people will naturally trust what you say, trust what you say. Like that. However, when we speak in general, there are truly some common things that we do. When we open our mouths usually, it is alright if it is something good. But what most people do is to gossip, engage in senseless speech. People might be talking for a while but the conversation would be meaningless. This type of cause is [often] created. What people would otherwise do is to be telling others some principles. When others do not listen, then quarrels would begin. So, then you think you have good principles and I think I have good principles. Everyone will argue at length. What is the cause of this? It is because we have done wrong in our past lives and we are adding even more wrongs in this life. No one is able to introspect! Everyone is not capable of introspection and feels that he is the one with the good reason. In his mind, it is not something that he does knowing that it is wrong. What is most pitiful, most foolish about this is that he does not know and that he thinks he is right with his reasons/principles.

业果 : 信言圆满的因

这个第五为什么信言会圆满呢？他因地当中能够远离四种不善，修四种的善法，修四种的善法。那个时候自然而然哪，你讲话人家能够信受你、信受你，这样。否则的话，这个我们讲话的的确确现在常见的现象，平常我们一开口，是好的固然不错，但是大部分人往往，要嘛说闲话，绮语，说了半天毫无意思，造这个因；要不然讲一点道理的话，人家不听了，起诤论，然后你有道理，我有道理，吵了个半天。这个都是什么原因？宿生既做错了，这一生尤其是错上加错，大家还不能反省啊！还不能反省啊，还总觉得我有道理，那个心里面哪，他不是说他明知故犯，他真正地可怜的地方，愚痴的地方，他不知道，他总觉得自己有道理。
