【The Varieties of Karma】- How to have great strength

8) The cause of strength is accomplishing what cannot at all be done by others, assisting in what can be done with your collaboration, and giving food and drink.

Number eight, how can you have great strength? If he cannot do something, then you do it for him. Or you can collaborate with him, or even assist him. You can give away all sorts of things. So when you encounter a situation like this, say now there are times when others ask for your help, what should you do? This is all that you can wish for. "Great! He is here to accomplish my good quality of generosity. He is here to accomplish my great strength." However, we often act like this: when others seek for our help, we always think of it on our own terms such as "He is purposely doing this, he is this and that way, he is just..." You will come up with all sorts of excuses. Not only do you refrain from helping him but that you tell others not to help too. Ah! This thing is something that I feel that is truly wasted. It is quite regretful.

业果 : 大力具足的因

第八者谓他不能作,自当代作,若共能办,则当伴助,惠施饮食。

第八的话呢,怎么才有具大力量呢?他如果不能做,你就代他做;或者自己共他做,或者帮忙他;惠施种种。所以遇到这种情况,现在这种情况,有的时候人家求助于你,你应该怎么?求之不得,“好啊!他来成就我的布施功德,他来成就我的具足大力。”我们往往这样的,人家来求助你,总照着我心里的心意想,就是说:“他这个人故意这样,他这个人就是怎么样,就是怎么样……。”你说种种理由呀,不但自己不帮忙,还要叫别人不去帮忙。唉呀!这个事实在是我觉得好可惜、好遗憾的一件事情。
