【 The Varieties of Karma 业果】 the cause of renowned as a great power 大势名称的因
【The Varieties of Karma】- the cause of renowned as a great power
【6) The cause of renown as a great power is making aspirational prayers to acquire various good qualities in the future, making offerings to the three jewels, and making offerings to parents, sravakas, pratyekabuddhas, abbots, masters, and gurus.】
This is to obtain "renowned as a great power." To be renowned as a great power requires two conditions, the first one is to make "aspirational prayers." Why do I want to do this, why do I do this. This type of aspirational prayer is not a regular aspirational prayer! This type of aspiration is a great aspirational prayer. What is a great aspirational prayer? It is an aspirational prayer for one to obtain the unsurpassed enlightenment. For now, we just need to keep those two words in mind. The real aspirational prayer for becoming enlightened is not something we have discussed yet. We do not really accurately understand it now. No need to mention the aspirational prayer to be enlightened, we do not even know what is disenchantment of the mundane world. Under this circumstance, this means we are not even at the door of Buddhism. Nevertheless, we now know where the direction lies. Based on this [direction], we can accumulate all kinds of merits. Among all the merits to be accumulated, offerings made to the Three Jewels are the special supramundane merits. The merits accumulated from offerings to the parents are mundane world ones. Then among the Three Jewels, there are merits done with respect to those who have attainments such as Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas and to those who are close to you such as your abbots, masters, and gurus. These are all great merit fields and great kindness fields. With respect to them, if you so lightly harm or benefit them, the resulting damage or merit will be incredibly great, incredibly great!

业果 : 大势名称的因
【第六者谓发宏愿，于自身中摄持当来种种功德，供养三宝，供养父母，声闻独觉，亲教轨范，及诸尊长。】
这个是得到“大势名称”的。这个大势名称要两个条件，第一个要“发宏愿”。我为什么要这样作，要这样作。这个愿不是普通的愿哦！这个愿叫“宏愿”，什么才是宏愿？无上菩提之愿。现在我们只要把这四个字摆在心上面，真正的菩提愿到现在为止我们还没讲到，我们也不大正确地认识。现在不要说菩提愿，乃至于厌离心是什么都不知道，在这种情况之下，那佛法门都没摸到。不过呢，我们现在先晓得方向在哪里，根据着这个，然后呢做种种的功德。做种种功德当中，特别是供养三宝，这个是出世的；父母这是世间的；然后呢三宝当中，特别是声闻、独觉这种证果的；跟你亲近的，那是亲教、轨范尊长，这个都是大功德田、大恩德田，你在这个里面，随便一点点的损或者益，就得到的祸害跟功德是不得了地大，不得了地大！
