【 The Varieties of Karma 业果】Pure field 田清净

【The Varieties of Karma】- Pure field

Pure field is so called because those two - attitude and application - are similar to a field in that they give effects that are numerous and good.

As long as these two things mentioned earlier - "attitude" is your mind, "application" is your behavior - if these two things are done well, the resulting effect must be good. Thus, it would be equivalent to having a beautiful field. Now among these three things, two are already infinite. As for the third one, it does not matter if it is infinite, the result is already infinite. Thus as long as any one of the three is infinite, once you multiply by it, the result is infinite. Since now two of them are infinite already, it does not matter if the third one is infinite.


Buddha is exactly the example for this. For the Buddha, his attitude was pure and his application was pure. How did he truly become a Buddha? He gave away his head, eyes, brains and marrows. Those who he gave himself to, he did not give things away to other Buddhas. This is very clear! He gave away his head, eyes, brain and marrow. But who did he give it to? He gave it to the sentient beings of the six realms. The sentient beings of the six realms were not pure fields. But since his attitude and applications were pure, has he not reached Buddhahood?

业果 : 田清净

田清净者,谓由彼二意乐加行,能与众多微妙果故,等同妙田。

你只要前面这个两样东西—“意乐”就是你的心,“加行”就是你的行为,这个两样东西好的话,感的果是一定微妙,所以等于这个田美一样。现在三样东西当中,两个已经无限大了,第三个不管它无限大不无限大,一定无限大。只要有任何一个无限大,乘上那个无限大,一定是无限大,现在有两个无限大了,第三个是不是都没有关系。

佛就是这个公案,佛啊,他的心清净,他的加行清净,他真正的成佛是什么?他就是舍头目脑髓,他舍的对象,不是舍给佛耶,这个很明白!他舍的头目脑髓,舍给谁啊?舍给那个是六道众生。所以那个六道众生,田可不清净哪,但是他的心、加行两样清净了,他不是成了佛了吗?
