【 The Varieties of Karma 业果】 I am doing for myself to see 我做给自己看

【The Varieties of Karma】- I am doing for myself to see

Therefore, regarding this, it is why I so praise my teacher. It is why I now understand what he said, "When I do this, I am doing it for my own self to see!" I understand it now. It is right! I am doing it for myself to see. No mistake in this. I am not doing it to show others. When we get to this point, I finally understand something about the story that I told you. This was why that among all the offerings to the Three Jewels in Tibet, the handful of dust by Baen Gunggyael was the best offering. You still remember this!? He took a handful of dust and spread it on the altar. As a result, a person with great achievement said, "There, the best offering in all of Tibet was the handful of dust by Baen Gung-gyael." If we go to the kitchen stove, pick up some ashes and spread it on the altar, would that make it the best offering? Would not it be ludicrous? So why [was it the best offering]? He understood, ah, that his thoughts were incorrect. He was doing it to show others. Immediately, [he thought what he did was] wrong! So he purified it, purified the intention! This is what we should understand. Like that.

业果 : 我做给自己看

所以，关于这一点，为什么我对我的老师这么赞叹，为什么我现在才懂得他这一句话：“我做这一件事，可是做给我自己看的哦！”那我现在懂了：对啊！做给我自己看的，没有错，做的不是做给别人看的。到了这个时候，我才了解为什么上一次讲那个故事，说在全西藏供养三宝，最好的是奔公甲这一把灰。你们还记得吧！他拿出这一把灰来，往那个供桌上面撒了一把，结果一个大成就者说：“喏，全西藏最好供养的，就是奔公甲这一把灰！”要我们现在跑到灶里面，拿了一把灰，在佛台上面撒着，这个最好的供养吗？这不是颠倒吗？为什么？他就了解，欸，他心里面起心动念不对，他要做给别人看，马上：不对！净化—自净其意呀！这个我们要了解，这样。
