【 The Varieties of Karma 业果】When you open your mouth, you act as if you are quarreling 一开口像吵架

【The Varieties of Karma】-When you open your mouth, you act as if you are quarreling

Speaking of this, I now remember when I was first ordained, when I was first ordained. We were living in Lán Ruò. My Dharma teacher often told me, "You people, when you open your mouth, you act as if you are quarreling." I always felt that I have never quarreled with others! After I have become ordained, I truly felt that I have never quarreled with anyone. But after so many years have passed, I finally sensed it. In my mind, the state of my mind was not the same either. When I speak now, I can feel that the state of my mind is different. If you do not compare, then you would not know. So what was my state of mind before? Before, I did not sense how coarse my mental state had been all along. Even though it seemed that I was acting normally, but when I spoke, it just was not as soft and gentle. It is much like what we see now, for instance, for a certain group of people in our society now, as soon as they open their mouths, cuss words come first. As soon as they open their mouths, cuss words come first. With these cuss words, they are not really aware of what they are saying. The reason they do this is because of their habits.

业果 : 一开口像吵架

那我说到这个地方，我倒想起那个时候刚出家，刚出家，我们住在兰若，我这个法师常常说我：“你们这些人，一开口就像吵架。”我总觉得我好像从来没有跟人家吵架嘛！我一直出了家以后，的的确确我自己觉得，从来没有跟人家吵架。但是过了多少年以后，我在那个时候才感觉到。那个时候心里面，心理状态也不一样，开口的时候，自己也感觉得到，那个心情跟那个不一样；你不比较，比较不出来。那么以前这个什么状态呢？以前因为一向就是那种心理很粗猛的这种现象不觉得，自己虽然平平常常，可是开起口来那个话，总是比较起来不大像柔软。就像我们现在，譬如说有很多这种社会上面某一个阶级的人，他一开口三字经就先出来了，一开口三字经就出来了。他这个三字经，他自己不晓得他在说些什么欸，那会这样的，就是这个习性。
