【Cultivating Ethical BehaviouR】- Conviction of “is the root of all virtues”

What should you have conviction of here? Karma and dependent arising - the relationship of karmic cause and effect. The key essentials between each other. These are what were mentioned in the entire earlier section.

Now that you understand this, what is it? It "is the root of all virtues." This principle has now become very plain and clear. It is the root of all virtues. Since you wish for all that is excellent! Then because you have conviction, you know what the source of excellent things is? There was such a cause! You see it very clearly. Therefore, when you get to that time, even if we ask you to take a little advantage of the situation at hand, you will certainly refuse. "Ah! I cannot take advantage of the situation now, why should I do that? " If I profit even one dollar from taking advantage of things now, I will have to lose ten thousand dollars. Who is willing to do that?" On the contrary, if everyone is willing to make an effort, you will know very clearly that if you give 30% of the effort now, or if you made effort that is worthy of $3.00, you will make $300 million in the future. [In this case,] everyone will be fighting to do this. Now when there is a little amount of profit to be made in the business world, everyone will fight to do it. Yet the benefit that we are talking about here is infinite and boundless. Of course everyone will feel go for it!

业果 : 胜解一切善品本

现在这个地方要胜解的是什么？业感缘起，如此业因感如此果报，彼此之间种种关键，这是前面整个的所讲的。

你了解了这个，什么？“一切善品本”，这个道理就很清楚、很明白了，所有的善法根本。因为你要求好嘛！然后呢因为你得到了胜解，你晓得这个好怎么来的啊？有这样的因嘛！你看得很清楚。所以到了那个时候，叫你讨一点便宜，你绝不要讨，“哎呀！不要讨，讨它干什么？我讨到了一块钱的便宜，赔出了一万块钱，谁愿意做这个事情啊？”反过来说，人人愿意去尽力，你很清楚明白，今天我尽了三分的力，或者说是付出了三块钱的代价，将来进来三亿块钱，大家拼命去争都来不及。现在那个商场当中稍微有一点的好处，大家打开头了，现在这个好处是无量无边哪，那自然人人好啊！
