【The Varieties of Karma】- The cause of consummate life span

There are eight causes of the fruitions:  

【1) The cause of consummate life span is not harming living beings and the application of  a nonviolent attitude.】

This is number one.  

【Further, it is said that:  
By rescuing those approaching a place where
they will be killed,  
And likewise giving life to others,  
And turning harm away
from living beings, You will
acquire a long life span.  
Through caring for the sick,  
Through a doctor's giving medicine to the sick,  
And through not harming living
beings with sticks, Clumps of
earth, and the like, you will be
without illness. 】

This is divided into two aspects, one is what we should stop and the second one is what we should strive for.  With what we should stop doing is to stop harming living beings.  What is most important in not harming living beings?  It is that in our minds, we should have a "nonviolent attitude," to not have intentions of harming others.  This harm is not just in the form of killing.  In many instances, though we say that we will not kill, but it is very difficult to embrace the attitude of no harm.  This is very difficult to do.  This is very difficult to do.  And the harm that has been brought to others by us, it is often done without us being aware, without us being aware.  You may not necessarily have intended to harm others, but you have harmed them in the process of you focusing on yourself.  Therefore, if we wish to understand things from the root, we must on all occasions be considerate, be considerate.

业果 : 寿量圆满的因

看异熟八因，第一个，

【谓于有情，不加伤害，及正依止不害意乐。】

这是第一个。

【又云：“善放将杀生，如是利其命，遮止害众生，则当得长寿。承事诸病人，善施诸医药，不以磈杖等，害众生无病。”】

分两方面，一个是应该遮止的，第二个是应该努力的。应该遮止的—不伤害众生。不伤害众生最主要的什么？就是内心当中“不害意乐”，心里面不要伤害别人。这个伤害不仅仅是杀哦，就是我们在很多情况之下，尽管我们现在说不杀了，但是不损恼别人这个意乐，这个很难做到，这个很难做到。而且这个不损恼别人，往往是不知不觉当中，不知不觉当中，你倒不一定是有意损恼别人，你只是为了只想到自己伤害了别人。所以说，我们如果从根本上面去要想了解的话，处处地方要推己及人，要推己及人。
